Chapter 69: Gold and Jade

The fat man took Xiao Huang and his party to the front of a cave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cave had clearly been dug up, and the soil was still a little damp. Moreover, the shape of the cave is also irregular, and there are traces of tool excavation.

Xiao Huang looked at the cave and asked, "This is the cave you are talking about, what do you want me to see?"

The fat man smiled and said, "The thing to see is not this, it's the thing inside." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the cave.

Xiao Huang and his entourage had no choice but to follow.

There were traces of excavation in the first section of the cave, but when you go inside, it suddenly opens up. The cave is connected to a natural stalactite cave. Everything in the cave is illuminated by torches, and the sound of water droplets dripping from time to time sets off the whole cave with an unusually quiet atmosphere.

The cave is the size of a football field, the road is quite easy to walk, there is no particularly narrow place, after walking for a short while, the fat man stopped, turned around and waited for Xiao Huang and the others to arrive, then pointed to a stone in front of him, and said: "Come, open your eyes, the fat master will give you a chance, take a good look at it." ”

Everyone followed the fingers of the fat man, but they hadn't noticed that the stone was actually wrapped in a faint golden light under the reflection of the torch.

Gao Lei added: "If there is no fire, the light will be more obvious. ”

The fat man took out a file from his bosom and gently scraped it on the stone, which emitted a faint fragrance. The fat man handed the little stone scraped off to Xiao Huang again.

Xiao Huang took the stone and smelled it, although there was still a certain aroma left on the stone, but it seemed to be about to dissipate, and the golden light left on it was gradually dissipating.

"When we found it, the fat man wanted to dig it up, but as soon as it was scraped off, it would soon lose its luster, and he didn't know how to get it. Xiao Huang, you have read more books than us, and I want you to take a look. Gao Lei said.

Xiao Huang couldn't recall such a thing recorded in the book for a while.

Seeing that Xiao Huang also showed an embarrassed expression, the fat man said: "It's okay, it's a big deal to spend a little effort, knock down the whole stone, and someone will always know you when you bring it back." ”

Long Xian'er opened her mouth and suddenly said to Xiao Huang: "Senior Brother Xiao, can you lend me the stone to take a look?"

Xiao Huang handed the gravel in his hand to Long Xian'er.

After Long Xian'er took the gravel, she sniffed it on her nose, and then put the gravel on the stone, and the gravel seemed to be wrapped in the light again.

Long Xian'er glared at the fat man and said, "Fortunately, you didn't knock on the stone recklessly. ”

When the fat man heard that there was a door, he came up and said, "Sister, do you know about this stone?"

Long Xian'er sighed and said, "I don't know how you can have such good luck." ”

At this time, the fat man played the peerless 'cheekiness' that he had practiced in the outer gate for many years: "It's not, otherwise how could there be such a powerful and beautiful sister!"

Long Xian'er obviously knew this guy's virtue for a long time, and he didn't take it seriously, and scolded: "Don't be poor." ”

The fat man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes." It's all up to you. ”

Long Xian'er was also a little helpless, ignored him, and explained: "This stone is not an ordinary stone, but a very rare rune material 'gold inlaid jade'. ”

As soon as Long Xian'er said this name, Xiao Huang had a feeling of sudden realization.

Runes, as a specific manifestation of spiritual power, if they are just ordinary depictions, only need to have vitality to form, but such runes will soon dissipate after losing spiritual power.

Runic materials can preserve runes, and can keep them for a long time. However, the general rune materials themselves have a certain blockage to the circulation of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and some special runes also need special materials to not affect the runes themselves.

In order not to affect the effect of the runes, ordinary rune masters will choose the best jade as the carrier of the runes. Jade itself is a relatively good rune material, and it is used the most. However, jade is fragile, and jade itself is not suitable as a weapon material, so the forge usually takes the initiative to learn the characteristics of rune materials to meet the requirements of rune masters.

It's just that Xiao Huang's master and apprentice are a little special.

Elder Yuan was reluctant to find another partner because of Madam Xiao, so he himself had learned a lot of knowledge of rune materials. And as his disciples, Xiao Huang and Long Xian'er also learned some. Xiao Huang's study time was very short, and many of them were not as clear as Long Xian'er.

As soon as Long Xian'er said this name, Xiao Huang immediately remembered this material.

"The most precious thing about gold inlaid jade is not the golden light on the outside, but the jade on the inside. The gold inlay jade itself is very fragile, and if you force it open, it may shatter the jade itself. ”

As she spoke, Long Xian'er instructed the fat man to take out a small saw and sawed the stone apart little by little.

As soon as Long Xian'er's words came out, everyone didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the jade would be broken because of the loud sound.

After a while, the stone was cut open, leaking a piece of jade the size of a palm in the center. The piece of jade was crystal clear, shining under the light of the fire, exuding a golden brilliance.

Long Xian'er took out a box, carefully put away the jade, and handed it to Long Fatzi: "Put it away, this piece of gold inlaid jade will be exchanged for resources, save a little use, enough for you to use until the golden pill period." ”

The fat man didn't take the jade, and said, "Since it's a rune material, it's good for you and Xiao Huang to use it, so you don't have to give it to me." ”

Facing Long Fatzi's words, Long Xian'er and Xiao Huang were stunned, and now that they know the value of this material, the fat man still chooses to give them the material.

"The gold-inlaid jade is too advanced, we can't use it now, and when we can use the gold-inlaid jade in the future, do you think we will still lack a rune material? Xiao Huang said.

Instead, the fat man turned to look at the others and said, "I didn't find out alone, and we are a group, so naturally everyone should have a share." ”

As soon as the dragon fat man's voice fell, the wild goose said: "Yo, I can't see that the dragon fat man is quite righteous." But we don't need this thing, but you, the most lacking resources, you should take it. At the beginning, we said that it was a mutual aid association, and of course you should give priority to you if you need it, not to mention that you are the first to find this thing. When you have other good things in the future, you don't have to think about it. ”

The fat man was a little embarrassed to take the gold and jade and put it away.

After working for half a night, I was a little tired, so I got out of the cave, found a place, and rested.

The group was actually worried about each other's safety before, but now they can finally let go of their hanging hearts.

This sleep was very heavy, and the next day everyone was refreshed, and this was the official start of the search for the elixir.

The way to find the elixir was led by Xiao Huang's knowledge, and Ling Xue's affinity for the elixir was very smooth, and he soon found the concentric grass that the fat man needed in the middle of the mountainside. Long Xian'er was originally here to accompany her to find it, so the medicinal materials needed for the task she chose were very common, and with the help of everyone, she quickly found it.

Everyone set out on their way home.
