Chapter 445: Getting Rich
After studying for a long time, the seal of the three Athena was finally unlocked, and as expected, as Zhang Huban expected, the three of them immediately crossed the nine immortal tribulations and became immortals. [Full text reading]
Feeling the vast mana of the three people in front of him, Zhang Huban was so happy. However, Zhang Huban was not so happy that he got carried away, and immediately raised the banner and shouted for the unification of the Qinglong Kingdom. Because they are both immortals, their strength is also high and low, and the difference between the high and low is sometimes extremely terrifying, the powerful immortals can sometimes single-handedly pick up hundreds of immortals, if the powerful immortals are matched with powerful magic weapons or even single-handedly thousands of immortals, it is not difficult to single-handedly fight thousands of immortals, and even more powerful immortals, such as cultivating for millions of years, mana has been accumulated to a terrifying level, but they have not realized the Tao, and they still stay in the immortal position, such immortals even the golden immortals with low mana will tremble. The three of Athena have just become immortals, and they are the lowest level of immortals, and they are still 108,000 miles away from the powerful immortals. However, fortunately, the three of Athena are all innate immortals, as long as the supporting conditions can keep up, the cultivation speed is definitely far beyond that of ordinary acquired immortals.
Although the strength of the three Athena and the fifty golden knights is very strong, Zhang Huban is not afraid of the strong and the weak master, because when Chi You subdued them, he put a ban on them, and this ban can take their surnames and lives in an instant. Zhang Huban is now equivalent to Chi You's second, and these prohibitions are naturally in his hands, although Zhang Huban believes that they will not betray him, but when he is unable to completely subdue this sudden force, Zhang Huban still retains that prohibition when he unlocks their seal.
Zhang Huban organized the Golden Knights into the Golden Knights separately and handed them over to the Hezhestos and his wife to take charge, while Athena was transferred by Zhang Huban to be his personal guard. This decision was regarded as Zhang Huban's ulterior motives by the ladies who occasionally went out to breathe, especially Ji Qingwu directly despised Zhang Huban as a big pervert, but because everyone liked Athena more, and Zhang Huban had such a smart and powerful immortal close protection and service by his side, which was beneficial to the husband and did no harm, so everyone threw a wink and did not raise a trace of protest, and Athena also officially moved into the Ningcui Palace.
After these things, Zhang Huban began to practice in retreat, and Athena and the others were also ordered by Zhang Huban to retreat and practice.
Every month of retreat, Zhang Huban would go out to see the progress of Wudang City, and he would also open an altar to preach in Wudang City for a day. On this day, all the cultivators and demon beasts on Wudang Island can stop their work and come to listen to Zhang Lake's sermon.
The sermons spoken by Zhang Huban are all from the memories of the ancient witch men and the Yellow Emperor, mixed with a lot of mystical and mysterious truths, among which there are also powerful spells, as for whether you can comprehend the true meaning from it, it depends on the creation of each person. Wudang disciples are different, not only can they hear these heavenly ways, but Zhang Huban will also open a small stove to point out some of the mysteries he has realized to them, so that they can avoid some detours. Zhang Huban's monthly sermon benefited the cultivators and demon beasts of Wudang Island a lot, and the cultivation progress was very fast, and everyone said that they were looking forward to the arrival of that day. After a long time, everyone on Wudang Island can be regarded as having some mantles of Zhanghuban, although they have not officially worshiped the Wudang faction, but they are also regarded as peripheral disciples of the Wudang faction, and they naturally respect Zhanghuban like a god, and they also obey the orders of the Wudang faction.
Time flies, eight years have passed. As soon as he said that Zhang Huban was in retreat and cultivation in Longju Cave Mansion, he suddenly felt the breath of one of the six divine beasts, the flying squirrel coming from outside the door of the cave, and the breath was very unstable, so Zhang Huban opened the gate.
Xiang Yang, the flying squirrel with the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, was full of excitement at this time, and a pair of mouse eyes shone brightly, flashing and dazzling.
Xiang Yang saw Zhang Huban out of the customs, and after hurriedly bowing, he said excitedly: "Master, happy event, great happy event!"
To make the six great protector beasts of the dignified Wudang Sect so excited, Zhang Huban immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of happy event? can make you all so happy." ”
"Master, what do you think this is?" Xiang Yang said and took out a fist-sized, slightly yellowish transparent jade, this jade exudes an extremely comfortable soft light, and there is a faint flow of fairy qi in the jade.
Zhang Huban looked at it, but he was a little confused. This jade Zhang Huban recognized, when the unification of Canglang Island, Zhang Huban also got a lot from the major forces, and later heard the Feiyun Immortal people say that this stone is called the fairy stone, which is the hard currency circulating in the fairy world. Immortal stone is a unique ore in the fairy world, this ore can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store it. The cultivator could directly absorb the energy in the immortal stone, so that the cultivator's speed could be greatly accelerated.
As something that can improve power, immortal stones obviously have advantages that the elixir does not have. First of all, the elixir is a kind of internal medicine, the alchemy technique is a little worse, and the side effects of the refined pill are also many. However, the immortal stone does not have this kind of problem, it is a pure energy storage stone, and cultivators can absorb the energy in the immortal stone according to their own situation, there will be no danger, and there will be no repetition of the effect of medicinal power. Secondly, refining the elixir not only requires the spirit herb immortal medicine, but also the alchemy technology, of course, the refining time, all of which are indispensable, far less convenient than the immortal stone, a stone in hand, you can directly absorb the energy in it, and everyone can use it. Of course, the elixir also has effects that the immortal stone does not have, for example, the Taishang Laojun's Nine Turns Golden Pill can directly achieve the Heavenly Immortal Rank, but no matter how good the immortal stone is, it cannot achieve such an effect.
As a good thing similar to the elixir, although there are no miraculous effects of the elixir, there is no need for any processing, anyone can slowly absorb the energy as long as they take it, unlike the elixir can be taken or not, to what kind of realm can be taken and other conditions, and the energy stored in the fairy stone is proportional to the grade and size of the fairy stone, and the purity and quality are only proportional to the grade, which is easy to measure, so the fairy stone has become the hard circulation currency of the fairy world, even the Qinglong Kingdom is no exception. To paraphrase the words of the proletarian revolutionary Comrade Lao Ma, fairy stones are the natural currency of the fairy world!
The immortal stones that can be used as hard currency, of course, cannot be all over the immortal realm, otherwise Zhang Huban would not have to work hard to arrange the spirit gathering array, and he would just hold the immortal stones directly. Immortal stones are like oil and coal on the earth, which are all formed by a certain ore in the fairy world after hundreds of millions of years, and if they are used up, they will have to wait for hundreds of millions of years. Immortal stones are divided into upper, middle and lower, three grades, and each higher grade needs to be exchanged for one hundred. There is a kind of stone on the fairy stone, which is also the hard currency of the fairy world, but it is no longer divided into the grade of the fairy stone, and it is named the spirit stone, the spirit stone is a purple transparent crystal, which is also divided into three products, each product is also exchanged for one hundred, and the spirit stone of the lower grade is exchanged for one thousand with the fairy stone of the upper grade.
Immortal stones are generally suitable for the absorption of immortals below the golden immortal, after the achievement of the golden immortal, the quality and quantity of pure energy stored in the immortal stone can no longer meet the absorption of the golden immortal, only the spirit stone can do. However, spirit stones are extremely scarce in the fairy world, although they are also hard circulation, but few people take them out as exchange currency, and they are generally kept for their own use.
The fairy stone in the hand of the flying squirrel Xiangyang is slightly yellow, and it can only be regarded as a low-grade fairy stone, although it is also a relatively precious thing for the Wudang faction that is currently in the twenty-nine islands of the Qinglong Kingdom (including Qinglong Island), which is considered to be in the poverty line, but Zhang Huban has also seized some immortal stones from the four major palaces, so there are nearly 10,000 low-grade immortal stones, hundreds of middle-grade immortal stones, and only a dozen high-grade immortal stones. Zhang Huban took a part of the lower-grade immortal stones and distributed them to the ordinary Wudang sect disciples, while the flying squirrel Xiangyang, as the guardian divine beast of the Wudang faction, was given more than ten medium-grade immortal stones. So from a certain point of view, the flying squirrel Xiangyang does not need to be fascinated by wealth to be excited about such a low-grade immortal stone.
After Zhang Huban was confused for a moment, he replied with a smile: "This is a low-grade immortal stone, the deity naturally recognizes it!"
"No, no, the subordinates didn't use this to test the master, the subordinates wanted to tell the master that the subordinates had found a fairy stone mine!" Seeing that Zhang Huban had misunderstood, the flying squirrel hurriedly explained.
When Zhang Huban heard this, the Adam's apple squirmed hard in his throat, and suddenly Zhang Huban found that he had a little difficulty speaking. It took a long time before he came back to his senses, grabbed the thin shoulders of the flying squirrel, his eyes were bright, the thief was bright, and he stammered: "Really, really, flying squirrel?"
Seeing that the owner was excited like this, the flying squirrel secretly despised it in his heart, but when he remembered that when he saw the mine, he almost fainted, and immediately threw away this contempt.
The flying squirrel cracked his little mouth and said with a smile: "Yes master, it's true, I dug it up myself." ”
"How did you find it, and where did you find it?" Zhang Huban's head finally returned to normal, and his mouth immediately shot towards the flying squirrel Xiangyang like a machine gun.
"Do you remember the miasma lake in the miasma poison field?" asked Xiang Yang, the flying squirrel.
"Remember, could it be that you found it there?" Zhang Huban asked in surprise.
"Yes, the subordinates and the red-blooded python king according to the master's design drawing, respectively, led a group of people and horses to use the ordinary jade to connect the spiritual veins under Wudang Island, two days ago, the subordinates finally built to the miasma poisonous land, occasionally someone dug the fairy stone underground near the lake, the subordinates held the idea of trying their luck, to see if they could find some more, so they drilled into the deep formation, until they drilled to the bottom of the lake, and found this fairy stone mine. The flying squirrel said to the sky.
