Chapter 139: Two Jade Men in the Boat (2)
Spirit stones are to monks what gold, silver, and copper money are to mortals.
Even the most detached monks have the same need to buy and sell. Bartering is an example of what you need, and the vast majority of transactions still rely on some general equivalent. However, after all, the currency commonly used in the world has shortcomings such as too small face value, troublesome deposit and exchange, and inconvenient carrying. It is also unknown when the spirit stone became a common hard currency among monks.
There was a faint aura on the spirit stone, which was easy to identify for any monk who practiced qi or above, but mortals were far isolated from the commodity trading system of the immortal path by this invisible threshold.
But in any case, it is also a pile of dead things, neither able to speak nor beckon, unless the osmanthus has a clairing eye, how can it know that there is a spiritual stone hidden in the wall of this cave?
Osmanthus looked at Zhu Chengbi, shook her head and said softly, "I'm talking about another spirit stone." ”
Zhu Chengbi was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted. If it weren't for the narrow space in the boat, it is estimated that she would have stood up, "Could it be a large number of real spirit stones containing the aura of heaven and earth?"
"That's right. Now that I think about it, the Arowana probably thought that I was injured and couldn't move my body, and it probably knew that the aura of heaven and earth under the cave wall was abnormally strong, so it deliberately put me there to promote the recovery of the injury. Osmanthus was actually not very sure of her judgment, and there was obviously some hesitation between her words.
The history of the immortal path in Kyushu records the evolution of the spirit stone. In the beginning, the spirit stone was an ore that truly enriched the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which could not only assist in cultivation, but also drive various magic weapons and spiritual weapons, which was extremely important to any monk, and because of this, it would naturally become a widely accepted and recognized trading equivalent.
However, the good times did not last long, and the aura of heaven and earth was already becoming more and more chaotic, and large-scale mining and uncontrolled consumption had exacerbated the depletion of the spirit stone veins. The spirit stones that are now used as the currency in circulation among the monks are actually just some residues left by the spirit stones that really contain the spiritual energy.
If what Osmanthus said is true, then this is probably the only spiritual stone storage that has been discovered in recent years. Thinking about this section, Zhu Chengbi couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
She muttered, "The green glowing walls, I should have thought of it a long time ago." I'm afraid that the spirit stone is not buried behind the wall, but the cave wall itself. “
"It's very likely that they were hidden deep underground before, and they have only recently surfaced - no wonder the fish monster's body is so strong, but its divine sense is far behind, it seems that it was forced by the rich aura valley here. “
Zhu Chengbi quickly made up her mind, "I have to go back and have a look." I just hate that Arowana is too powerful, how can I bypass it and get to the front of the Spirit Stone Wall?"
Osmanthus smiled bitterly, "It's me who is not good, I was completely panicked just now, and I only wanted to hide in a safe place after meeting with Zhu Zhenren." Now that I think about it, in fact, the Arowana is different from the fish monster, it seems that it has no ill intentions towards people, and it is best for us to stay where we are and observe for a while. “
Zhu Chengbi knew that Osmanthus was saving face for herself, if it wasn't for her body hanging unconsciously under the body of the fish monster just now, how could Osmanthus take the liberty of worrying about her safety.
But there is no point in pursuing accountability at this point. She was thinking to herself about finding a foolproof plan.
