Chapter 54: Spirit Stones and Formations
There were no lights in the house, and the moonlight poured into the room through the window screens, making it look speckled.
Shen Yun probed his divine sense into the storage bag, and saw that in the two-foot square space, there was a jade slip, a small bottle of "Peiyuan Dan" and four spirit stones lying quietly.
With a smile, he took out all the items and put them all on the desk, his eyes aimed at the jade bottle and spirit stones.
These four spirit stones and a small bottle of "Pei Yuan Dan" are this year's remuneration, and there will be every year, and the amount of salary depends on what kind of family it is, as well as the cultivation and importance of the offering.
"Let's get a glimpse of the legendary elixir first, hehe. ”
As he spoke, he took the fist-sized jade bottle, the color of the jade bottle was pale emerald green, cold to the hand, round and smooth.
Shen Yun let out a "boom" and pulled out the cork.
With a slight pour, one of the "Pei Yuan Dan" rolled into the palm of his hand.
I saw that this elixir, like the size of a small fingernail, the milky white pill looked crystal clear, and the faint smoke and waves flowed inside, and from time to time there were bursts of fragrant fragrance, which made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.
"It's a panacea. Shen Yun's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, and his face was intoxicated.
This Pei Yuan Dan, if taken by a monk of the Spirit Realm, the effect is excellent, and if it is taken by a monk of the Spirit Realm, although the effect is slightly worse, it is also a rare wonderful product.
Now that there is a shortage of spiritual plants, the supply of spiritual pills is in short supply, so most of the families leave Pei Yuan Dan to the spiritual silent realm monks in the clan to break through the bottleneck.
"I'll save it first, and then I'll hit the bottleneck in the future. ”
"And Uncle Bao treats me as his own, which can also be used to repay favors. ”
After admiring it for a while, he reluctantly bottled it and put it away.
The four spirit stones are two red fire spirit stones, one green wood spirit stone, and one brown earth spirit stone.
I took a piece of fire spirit stone, and saw that this spirit stone the size of a broad bean seemed to have a light red light source inside, which secretly emitted red light. The surface of the spirit stone is dark red, and the light inside causes the red mist on the surface of the spirit stone to escape.
Probably because of the cultivation of the exercises, holding the fire spirit stone, there is a sense of closeness.
The green wood spirit stone, except for the color, is similar in appearance to the fire spirit stone, but unlike the fanatical breath of the fire spirit stone, the wood spirit stone contains abundant vitality.
"Spirit stone" is a stone that contains the aura of heaven and earth, according to the different attributes of the spiritual power, it can be divided into gold spirit stone, wood spirit stone, water spirit stone, earth spirit stone, fire spirit stone and other five element spirit stones;
The monk can directly absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, which is much faster than meditating and exhaling. In the same way, monks don't need gold and silver treasures, for them, spirit stones are the treasures they really need. Whether it is practice, alchemy, array, fighting methods, etc., the role of spirit stones is irreplaceable, so spirit stones are equivalent to the hard currency of monks, which can be used to trade all kinds of strange treasures.
When meditating and practicing, absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stones, the cultivation speed will be very amazing, but in other words, in fact, almost no one uses the spirit stones so extravagantly to cultivate, it is too wasteful.
This is a bit similar to the elixir, which is usually only used when breaking through the bottleneck or fighting method.
When an immortal cultivator casts a spell, the mana consumption rate is very fast, but if he can fight with the spirit stone in his hand, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone will be continuously replenished, so that the combat power will be more durable.
For example, when the Wind Resist is running, it will constantly consume mana. If you have a spirit stone in your hand on the way to escape, help yourself continue to replenish your mana, maybe you can escape.
In addition, many immortal cultivation skills and the role of spirit stones are irreplaceable, which makes spirit stones even more rare and precious.
After learning that the spirit stone was the currency of the immortal cultivators, Shen Yun suddenly realized that he was a complete poor bastard.
Holding a few spirit stones in his hand, he muttered thoughtfully: "No wonder the immortal cultivators of the Daning Kingdom will control the gang. ”
In the process of cultivation, immortal cultivators need to consume a large amount of spiritual matter.
And most of these spiritual objects are scattered sporadically, and it is time-consuming and laborious to find them in the countless poor mountains and remote areas. In addition, the more immortal cultivators cultivate, the more they reach the later stage, the more slow and time-consuming they become, how can they have so much time and energy to go out to the barren mountains and wilderness to find spiritual objects?
Therefore, the family of cultivating immortals usually controls some secular forces to help find them, and with the help of gang forces, they go to explore those rare spiritual objects.
Shen Yun heard Shi Qiulan mention the Tangram Gang, so he asked Jade Hall casually.
Only then did I know that a jade mine was discovered on the mountain of Fengjian at the beginning, so a branch was set up to go to mining, after all, the jade mine will occasionally be mixed with spirit stones.
Shen Yun suddenly realized, and briefly recounted his past, so that he could ask the Shi brothers and sisters to help take care of Guo Long by the way.
Shi Qiulan's sister and brother were suddenly surprised, they didn't expect that Shen Yun was actually from their own gang, and it was quite incredible that they had traveled for so many years to come to Shangling Peak.
For the request to take care of a gang member, it is naturally not a problem, and he responds with a smile.
The Shi family controls several jade mines, and except for some of the spirit stones collected every year, they are handed over to the Xiong family as tribute, and the rest can be kept for their own use.
Therefore, after Shen Yun served as the Shi family's worship, Shi Qiulan generously paid four spirit stones as a year's payment.
You must know that once you become an offering, it will not change for many years under normal circumstances, no matter whether the worship is usually a retreat or a recreation, unless it is announced that it will no longer serve, the Shi family's remuneration must be paid every year. Four spirit stones plus four spirit pills, this is already a high salary.
Scrooge generally swayed the spirit stone for a while, and then happily put it away.
Looking at the moonlight outside, it was still early, so he took out the formation jade slip from his storage bag and probed his divine sense.
Cultivating immortals, all-encompassing, formations, is just a skill for cultivating immortals.
The origin of the formation is no longer available, but according to the name, direction, layout, etc. of the formation, it is basically certain that some are derived from the celestial phenomena and stars, while some are derived from the five elements of nature.
After countless years of research and demonstration by the previous monks, it has evolved into a variety of formations.
For example, there are battle formations composed of human monks, formations composed of various magic weapons and treasures, spiritual arrays and enchantments inspired by spirit stones, and even prohibitions directly laid by mana, etc., which are incomparably numerous and complicated.
The Shi family's formation classics really record two types of formations.
One is the spirit array arranged by the spirit stone, this kind of formation has been recorded several, and it doesn't look very complicated, so it should be relatively common.
For example, the one that Shen Yun saw in Shangling Feng at the beginning was an ordinary phantom array, arranged by spirit stones, as long as there was still spiritual energy in the spirit stones, it could continue to operate.
The other type is the prohibition, and the trick of the prohibition layout has also been recorded several, although the prohibition is also a kind of formation, but it is very different from the formation layout.
The prohibition is purely composed of mana, to put it simply, the prohibition needs to be carved by the cultivator through the mana of the divine sense, and if the practice is skillful, it can be formed immediately with just a movement of the mind and hand.
Another characteristic of the ban is that it is changeable, and the array mage can adjust the trick to give birth to many different variations of a ban, of course, this is already a very advanced application.
"I don't know these formations and prohibitions, is it difficult to learn?" Shen Yun raised his eyebrows, withdrew his divine sense from the jade slip, and nodded slightly, "Let's practice slowly in the future." ”
Put away the formation jade slip, and probed his divine sense into another alchemy book.
After a moment's effort, he took the jade slip away, frowned slightly, and sighed: "Do you still need a specific earth fire and alchemy furnace?" It seems that you can only go to Shangling Feng next time and ask for advice." ”
