Yuanling Donglu, Qin State, Kaiyuan City.

Jiang Ming is a young man in a small yuan square in the city, sixteen years old.

But only he knows that he only has eight years of memory, as for his memories before the age of eight, whenever he thinks about it, there is only a groggy pain all over his body, and after a long time, he only remembers that he was eight years old, but he has no memory of eight years.

If there are four seasons in life, then Jiang Ming is all winter until he is thirteen years old.

Jiang Ming is thin and handsome, especially under the two black and thick long eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes are clear and full of infinite depth.

This is also the reason why Shopkeeper Luo picked Jiang Ming back from the street when he was thirteen years old, he said that the people of Yuanfang, the cultivation of his whole life is all on a pair of eyes, this child has a spiritual light in his eyes, and he will definitely be an excellent Yuan Connoisseur in the future.

Yuan, refers to the Yuan stone. It is the most common and highest-grade currency on the Yuanling Continent, and ordinary people use gold, silver and copper, while people with status only use Yuanshi.

The Yuan Ling Continent is based on cultivation, and the Yuan Stone is the most important way for a cultivator to source Yuan Power, so every cultivator cannot leave the Yuan Stone to practice at all.

For the state. The reserves of Yuanshi are directly related to the strength of the country. The countries of the mainland have been fighting for years in order to snatch the Yuanshi, and they have never stopped.

Jiang Ming has been dealing with Yuanshi since he was thirteen years old, relying on a pair of spiritual eyes that know the subtleties, he enters the house in one year, enters the hall in two years, and enters the house in three years. The speed of progress has almost made all the young Yuan Masters in Kaiyuan City unattainable. Even Shopkeeper Luo, who has always been conceited, said two months ago that he had nothing to teach Jiang Ming.

But today, this piece of Yuanshi, whose origin and appearance are so ordinary that they can't even be called Yuanshi, made Jiang Ming fall into deep thought.

In the past three years, Jiang Ming has handled no less than thousands of Yuan Stones, and he has a lot of experience. But I've never seen this one like this.

This piece of yuan stone is the size of a palm, the whole is gray-yellow, and the granular impurities inside the yuan stone are very obvious, and at first glance it is clearly the next product in the lower grade.

The average connoisseur on the market will throw it out at the second glance, because this stone is simply too obvious, like yellow sand in gold, and has no value at all.

But among the conspicuous impurities, Jiang Ming paid close attention, but found red filaments that were even finer than a hair and almost invisible. These filaments are intricately intertwined to form a large web that almost runs through the entire inside of the stone, this web is like a spider web, but the more Jiang Ming looks at it, the more unusual it feels.

"Yuanshi is divided into white, red, black three grades, this transparent and impurities are so obvious, obviously belong to the lowest category in the lowest white yuan grade, but there is a trace of almost invisible red element characteristics in this world, is there really this kind of red and white mixed and so unsightly Yuanshi in this world? This is absolutely impossible. Maybe the red silk inside is just another substance formed by coincidence, and has nothing to do with the yuan itself. This is the only reason Jiang Ming can convince himself at this moment.

Just when Jiang Ming was in a dilemma, the owner of this yuan stone saw that he had been looking at him for a long time, and his face was full of embarrassment. Suddenly I couldn't sit still, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Little brother, this stone was fished out of my own well when I fetched water this morning, and it must not be worth any money, to tell you, I have found more than a dozen Yuanfang from morning to now today, and they all said that it was garbage, and they drove me out without saying anything." I think you are a good man, and if you can, I will bother you to raise your noble hand and give me some copper coins, and I can also subsidize the family a little. ”

The middle-aged man looked flustered, his green shirt was shabby, and there were several obvious new patches on his right sleeve. At first glance, he is an ordinary poor man who works all year round, if he didn't happen to pick up this thing that is suspected to be a Yuan Stone, it would be impossible for a person like him to walk into a place like Yuanfang in his life.

Jiang Ming was also very embarrassed for a while, this Yuan Stone was yellowish and gray, even if it was reluctantly classified as Bai Yuan, it was also a subordinate product, even if it took a lot of effort to refine the Yuan Power contained in it, I am afraid it was not as good as ordinary medicinal herbs. In the past, according to this situation, the shopkeeper would not be allowed to collect it, because if it was collected, it was destined to be unredeemed, and it could only rot in his own hands.

Jiang Ming has been a buddy in Yuanfang for three years, Yuanshi didn't save one, he did get a lot of gold and silver, seeing the man's embarrassment, he said to him Wait, he ran to the hut behind the hall and wrapped a bag of gold and silver the size of a watermelon, came out and stuffed it to the man who was still bent over and said: "That's it, if our shopkeeper won't accept this kind of yuan stone, I saved these gold and silver myself, you take it, I will collect this yuan stone myself." ”

Most of the men have raised their families for most of their lives, and they are just barely making ends meet, and the copper coins they have seen are counted. But where have I seen so much gold and silver, I almost lost my eyes when I opened it: "Little brother, I can't help it, where is such a stone worth so much gold and silver, and my whole family will not be able to use it up in a few lifetimes." ”

Jiang Ming saw that he was panicked, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, these are nothing to me, and I don't usually need them, you can take them and make the best use of them." ”

After several pushes, the middle-aged man couldn't resist Jiang Ming, so he took a small half of the gold and silver, hugged it in his arms and thanked him for leaving.

After sending the man away, Jiang Ming threw Yuan Shi aside, and continued to sit in this Yuan Fang, which was less than five zhang wide and almost the smallest in the whole Kaiyuan City, waiting for new guests to come to the door.

Although this Yuanfang is small, it is indeed his home with Lao Luo, who is already in his fifties and alone. From the day he picked up Jiang Ming, he treated him as his own son, and the two of them depended on each other, and Lao Luo also taught Jiang Ming all his skills in appreciating yuan, and it was three years in a flash.

I heard from the neighbors that Lao Luo used to seem to be a cultivator, but whenever Jiang Ming asked, Lao Luo always denied it with a smile.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Ming closed the door of the store, ate something casually, grabbed the piece of his own private property, and returned to his cubicle behind the outer hall.

There are two floors on the street of this Yuanfang, Lao Luo lives on the second floor, and Jiang Ming lives behind the lobby on the first floor, in Lao Luo's words

"You kid thief is clever, live in the back hall and watch the door. ”

"Lao Luo, this guy, I don't know if I won't come back for a few days this time..."

Thinking of Lao Luo's posture at the age of more than fifty, climbing over the wall and walking on the floor, and then thinking of what Lao Luo did on time, Jiang Ming's cheeks couldn't help but heat up.

Jiang Ming, who was lying on the bed, had a lot of thoughts, and the events of the day passed in front of him, and in the end, only the strange cobweb-shaped thing inside the Yuan Stone was frozen in his mind, and the red filaments flashed repeatedly in his mind like a nightmare, lingering.

Jiang Ming grabbed the Yuan Stone that was thrown aside in his hand again, and the bright light gradually passed through the Yuan Stone in Jiang Ming's hand. At the same time, it also shines on the red thin net inside the motoshi.

At this time, Jiang Ming only heard a thin chirp like a mosquito in his left ear, and in a moment, the thin red threads were summoned by some of them, and they quickly thickened and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a red spider web-shaped thing had become very obvious inside in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a sudden warm current flowed out from inside the Yuan Shi, passed down his fingers to Jiang Ming's arm, and then divided into two strands at the end of his arm, one up and one down, with Jiang Ming's breathing, the left half of his body was covered with a warm tingling feeling, which was very comfortable.

Well~

Jiang Ming involuntarily let out a numb moan.

But before he came back to his senses, the warm current on the small Yuan Stone suddenly intensified, and in an instant, a force that was almost catastrophic for his arm flowed out, and the warm current became as hot as magma in an instant, and the surging heat had instantly made half of Jiang Ming's left arm like it was burned, and the pain was unbearable!

Yes!

Jiang Ming screamed and threw the Yuan Stone out of his hand.

With a bang, the Yuan Stone, which was still glowing with a white light, landed on Jiang Ming's hard wooden bed.

At the same time, Jiang Ming also jumped out of bed with a cleverness.

Under the light, Jiang Ming rolled up his sleeves, and at this time, his entire left forearm was more than twice as swollen exaggeratedly, and the color of his flesh and blood was more like an iron tool that had just been taken out of the furnace, and the bones inside could be faintly seen. White smoke kept rising from his arm, and the sharp pain that pierced his heart and bones went straight to the deepest part of his soul...

"Ah..................h

"What kind of stone is this? It can actively flow energy into my mortal body with unopened meridians, and it is so domineering!"
