I can't let myself think about it, and the spiritual spring under my feet has changed again. I saw that the colorful light in the center of the spiritual spring faintly condensed into a circular formation, and the light condensed by the Xuan Qi continued to change, and finally, in the center, a black circle with a diameter of about one foot appeared, and the colorful light on it disappeared completely.

Immediately, the black circle at the bottom of the water and the surrounding colorful formations began to become distorted and fluctuated. Observing carefully, Le Qi found that it was not the formation that became distorted, but the originally calm spring water that began to become turbulent. There was an inconspicuous surge on the body, indicating that the spring water was indeed moving, and under the action of the spring water gushing out of the black circle, the spiritual spring began to ripple.

At the same time, I don't know if it was because of the gushing spring water or the colorful formation, the originally cold and biting pool water began to become warm, and Le Qi felt that his body gradually became comfortable.

Within the black circle, a purple-black spring with a special luster emerged, and the black spring water gradually spread outward, and soon, the first inner circle shrouded in colorful light was dyed purple-black.

Within the entire aperture, the original colorful colors have been rendered in a deep purple-black, and it looks like black agate, shining brightly.

And just as the purple spring water shrouded Le Qi's body, he felt a very special touch all over his body. The feeling of warmth, mixed with a wonderful feeling of the body being penetrated, is surrounded by a warm current that wants to enter the body.

Feeling this substance that wanted to invade, Le Qi was startled, and subconsciously burst out of the Xuan Qi layer, wanting to resist. The Xuan Qi in the Xuan Vein is rushing, and the Xuan Qi instantly covers the surface of the body. With the appearance of the Xuan Qi layer, that feeling suddenly decreased a lot, but soon, Le Qi remembered that the royal Xuan King seemed to have said not to use Xuan Qi to resist, and let the body absorb the substances in the refining spirit spring on its own.

But at the moment, the Xuan Qi layer has not been withdrawn, but Le Qi has an even stranger feeling, not the discomfort of the body being invaded, but it seems that the body is absorbing it autonomously, which is a very comfortable feeling.

Attracted by this strange feeling, Le Qi raised his arm soaked in water, took a closer look, and was surprised to find that the originally flesh-colored palm actually had a slight layer of inconspicuous luster, which was just like the special luster in the spiritual spring. But what surprised him even more was that although his hands were shiny, they were only dyed with a layer of lilac that was almost invisible, as if only the luster had invaded his body, and the purple-black color was completely disproportionate to the luster.

Seeing this, Le Qi couldn't help but have a conjecture in his heart, could it be that the substance that forms the luster and the purple-black substance are not the same substance?

Thinking of this, Le Qi gradually disappeared the Xuan Qi layer, waited quietly, and counted a hundred silently in his heart, and after about a minute, he raised his arm again to reveal the water. Looking at the palm where the purple color had obviously deepened and the luster had not changed much, Le Qi secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, there is more than one mysterious substance in the spiritual spring.

Sometimes, solving one doubt leads to more doubts. At this time, Le Qi, who discovered the secret, felt a little difficult to choose. Which of the two substances is more precious? Or are the two substances complementary and need to be absorbed in a certain proportion?

But he always felt that the shiny substance seemed to be more precious, because it was rarer and could penetrate the Xuan Qi layer and enter the body, which seemed to show that it was not simple. I don't know where the confidence comes from, so with his own guesses, Leqi decided to absorb more lustrous substances. However, as the main substance of the refining spirit spring, the role of the purple-black substance should be undoubted, and it is impossible not to absorb it. Therefore, Le Qi decided to appropriately weaken the Xuan Qi layer so that the black substance could also enter the body.

Adjusting the output of Xuan Qi, Le Qi adjusted it with his senses, and finally found a suitable degree, stabilized it, and continued to absorb the substances in the spiritual spring. In order to allow his head to absorb the substance, Le Qi held his breath and sank into the water, so that his body was completely immersed in the spiritual spring. As a martial artist at the peak of the Great Xuan Realm, holding his breath for three or four minutes is not a problem at all.

At the same time as Le Qi absorbed the substance, the black spiritual spring had already spread to the outermost layer, and the entire spiritual spring had become purple and black. The rest of the people also began to absorb the substances in the spiritual spring.

When Le Qi looked up, he also noticed this situation, and what made him even more convinced of his guess was that the seven-layer aperture, even when viewed from close to the surface of the water, could clearly see that the special luster was decreasing from the inside out. In particular, the boundaries between apertures create a visible and noticeable contrast.

Everything became clear. There is no doubt that the value of special luster substances is much higher than that of purple-black substances. In other words, the amount of luster material is the real difference between the sectarian rankings. Although the black substance also has a great effect, and may not even be inferior to the lustrous substance in actual value, but the abundant purple-black substance can make everyone in the spring absorb to saturation, then, from this point of view, its value is naturally a little lower.

And that lustrous substance is different. Needless to say, its amount must be very insufficient, otherwise, why bother to lay out the formation to gather them, so that the first circle accumulates more lustrous substance, followed by the second layer, the third layer. After reaching the fourth floor, I'm afraid it's almost none. Even if its actual value is not higher than that of purple-black substances, or even inferior to purple-black substances, it will be more valuable than purple-black substances now.

It's a simple reason that scarcity is expensive. For example, one day a pie in the sky happened, and you appeared in a good place full of amethyst, amethyst is sharp and angular, and if it is piled up, there will be a large gap.

In the same area, there is another limited mineral crystal resource, the value is not as good as amethyst, the quantity is also limited, and there are people to grab it, but it has an advantage, the mineral crystal is a fine sand grain, which can be stuffed to fill the gaps between the amethysts.

There is no time limit here, but you only have a void ring with a limited size, and the old man of the immortal has spoken, anything that can be taken away, it is yours. What do you do at this time?

If you think about it with your toes, the first step is, of course, to grab the mineral crystal, amethyst is everywhere, and if you don't grab the mineral crystal, it will be gone, and what you grab is an extra harvest. Therefore, here, the actual value of the ore crystal is not as good as that of amethyst, but the value of the ore crystal is completely higher than that of amethyst.

It's not that the actual value of the luster substance is really inferior to the purple-black substance, but in the same way, in the spiritual spring, the purple-black substance is the abundant amethyst, and the lustrous substance is a limited number of mineral crystals, which is of high value, it goes without saying.

As for why the royal family didn't tell everyone about it, the reason is very simple: for their own benefit.

The people of the royal family should know about this, they know that maintaining a certain layer of Xuan Qi can absorb more lustrous substances, but people who are not from the royal family don't know. You're inhaling the purple-black substance so hard that you're soon saturated and gone, but what you don't know is that you don't absorb much of what is really more valuable, and you can't notice the fact that you're excited. And what about the royal family?

But Le Qi didn't want to pierce this layer of paper, the royal family was not wrong, this was a very shrewd approach, smart! If he was the administrator of the royal family, he would probably do the same.

I didn't lie to you, my words are all true, it's just incomplete, I didn't cheat you openly, I gave you the same conditions, I won't use it, that's your own problem.

The most real world can never be completely real, and this level of deception is not even deception. Compared with the idiot who has no brains, he doesn't like it, but at least he is a smart person, so he is not so repulsive.

One hundred secrets are sparse, and Le Qi actually ignores one of the most conspicuous things, although it does not affect the efficiency of refining. Why was the water of the Spiritual Spring green in the first place? Of course, it was not because of the reflection of the green mountains.

In fact, this is not something too mysterious, and those with higher knowledge will know it, for example, Yan Wuyi understands from the moment he arrives that the green spring water comes from a tree in the spiritual spring, a spiritual tree called the Gray English Tree, and it is the sap secreted by its rhizome that dissolves into the water, which makes the spring water green.

The sap of the gray English tree, which has a very good healing effect, dissolves in water, like a pool of diluted fountain of life, but it does not have the effect of replenishing Xuan Qi. The royal family planted it in the Refining Spirit Spring, which can play a role in promoting absorption.

Speaking of which, the gray English tree is really a kind of spiritual tree, the age of the tree is different, the effect is also different, it is said that some of the gray English tree that has lived for I don't know how many years, the sap it secretes, the healing effect, is no less than the essence of life. It is even said that some gray trees that have lived for tens of thousands of years can strengthen the power of the soul, and the value is immeasurable.

However, the Grey Tree also has a scary name – the Ghost Tree. That's right, such a valuable treasure tree would have such a nickname. So, how did this title come about?

First of all, the shape of the gray tree is basically very strange, it seems that none of the branches of the gray tree are straight, they are all twisted and crooked, and the same is true of the branches on the tree. Secondly, the bark of the gray tree is grayish-brown, and it is also very uneven, which is very strange.

Some people say that it just looks strange, and there are so many trees in this appearance that a dignified warrior is not so frightened, is it? Indeed, if it is just the appearance, it is too much of a fuss to call the priceless gray tree a ghost tree.

But the reason why the gray tree has this name is worthy of its name, because this kind of tree is very evil.

Some high-level martial artists, at least above the Xuan King, could vaguely feel a very faint soul aura in the gray tree, this soul aura was so vague that even the sages were not sure whether it existed or not.

Some people don't believe in this evil and want to find out what is in the gray tree, so they completely dismember it, but nothing can be found, but even so, a gray tree that has been dead for an unknown amount of time still makes people feel a sense of ominousness. It's as if there's always an evil eye looking at you.

Although many high-level martial artists felt this way, none of them could figure out the reason, including countless saints, as if it was a non-existent existence at all. Hence the nickname for the Grey Tree: the Ghost Tree.

But fortunately, there seems to have never been a ghost tree mutation in history that harmed martial artists, so people didn't pay too much attention to it.
