Chapter Seventy-One: The Spiritual Record
Jiang Mingyu laughed and said, "It seems that Daoist friends can't wait, I just came out of the Fa yesterday, and I wanted to rest in the Hou Mansion for a few days, but it's okay, there is nothing to do, Daoist friends will come with me today." ”
"Thank you, seniors. Hong Jun stood up and took a deep look.
"Master, can I go too?" Jiang Ke asked with anticipation. It was a gathering of monks, and it was many times more exciting than the literary poetry meeting in the mortal world, and it was worth it to be scolded if you could go there.
"You little girl, your cultivation hasn't started yet, you don't even have any mana, but your curiosity is greater than anyone else's. Jiang Mingyu laughed, with a look of pity, and said kindly: "Since you have entered my door, it can be regarded as stepping into the cultivation realm, and it is good to go to the Dharma meeting together to open your eyes." ”
"Thank you, Master, I'll go and prepare the carriage for Master and Cousin. Jiang Ke was elated, and after speaking, he ran out as soon as he slipped away.
Jiang Mingyu shook his head helplessly, Baota Mountain is only a hundred miles away from the capital, as a monk, he has several means to get there quickly, where can he use a carriage? But to take Jiang Ke with her, she can't do it, but it is a little troublesome, and it is also a good choice to go by carriage, and it doesn't hurt to be slow.
The movements of the Hou Mansion were very fast, and soon, a luxury carriage pulled by four tall horses stopped outside the door, and a sophisticated handlebar style was arranged, as soon as Jiang Mingyu and the three of them got into the car, the carriage drove out of the Qi Wei Hou Mansion steadily, and quickly went out of the city from the east gate, and the carriage galloped up on the wide official road.
In the carriage, Jiang Mingyu instructed the two juniors: "You are all new to the cultivation realm, you must remember one thing, act in a low-key manner, and don't be ostentatious." The cultivation realm is not as peaceful as mortals imagine, immortals are also made by people, monks also have seven emotions and six desires, three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing, there are not a few evil demons and foreign ways, we must always maintain a defensive heart, don't be impulsive. ”
"Yes, the disciple knows. Jiang Ke was a little surprised, these words broke her illusions about the cultivation realm, but she still took Jiang Mingyu's advice to heart.
Hong Jun also nodded slightly, his face was serious, even if Jiang Mingyu didn't say it, in fact, he understood the sinister nature of the cultivation realm. Whether it was what Cangli Zhenren said, or the sneak attack of Zhao Jingcheng for wealth in the Great Wilderness, it made him know the cruel truth of the cultivation world in advance.
Jiang Mingyu smiled with satisfaction and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, just come with me after the festival." My cultivation is not in the cultivation realm, but I can also protect myself during the Qi refining period, and there are many monks at the Secret Pagoda Festival, and very few people dare to do it in full view, as long as I don't cause trouble and don't show off, it is still very safe at the Festival. ”
"There are often monks on the top of the mountain to open the altar**, if you are interested, you can listen to it, but those who dare to open the altar at the Dharma meeting ** are generally the great monks above the Jindan period, the magic power is profound, and the Dharma is all extremely mysterious, difficult and obscure, with your cultivation I am afraid that I can't understand it, sometimes even I don't know much about it, and I can hear the clouds and mountains and fog. Jiang Mingyu introduced the situation of the puja, smiled bitterly, and said: "For young monks, the most important thing in the secret pagoda puja is not to listen to the great monks**, but to trade with other monks, bartering for what they need to practice. ”
"Feel free to take a look around, and tell me if you like something. Jiang Mingyu said confidently: "Although my net worth is not thick, it is not a problem to exchange one or two low-grade magic weapons for you." ”
Jiang Ke's eyes lit up, she had seen Hong Jun's flying sword and Shizun's Xiaoding yesterday, and knew that it was a magic weapon, which belonged to the monks, but she didn't expect that she would also have the opportunity to have a magic weapon!
Hong Jun thanked him again, he didn't have the idea of coveting Jiang Mingyu's magic weapon, but he remembered a question that had been troubled for a long time, and said: "Senior Jiang, in addition to bartering for trades between monks, it seems that they can also be replaced with spirit crystal jade, but there seem to be many differences between various spirit crystal jade, I don't know how to measure it?
Jiang Mingyu was very surprised when he heard this, "Didn't your master even tell you about the spirit stone?"
"I met Shizun in Pingshui, and after less than a month of getting along, Shizun left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to teach many things, and I had to ask my seniors. Hong Jun's face was slightly embarrassed, in fact, where did he have a master, and he also had a complicated relationship with Cangli Zhenren, so he usually didn't bother him until he had to.
"I see. ”
Jiang Mingyu nodded, and he didn't know if he believed this set of words, but he still said patiently: "Spirit crystal jade, as the name suggests, is all kinds of crystals, jade, jade, agate, stones, etc., which contain the aura of heaven and earth, collectively known as spirit stones. Spirit stones are all self-generated from heaven and earth, or buried in the ground, or hidden in the sea, usually in the place where the spiritual energy is strong, there may be spirit stones, and there are many sinister and strange places that also contain spirit stones. ”
"The aura contained in the spirit stone is extremely pure, and it is a great supplement for the monk, which can be used to double the cultivation speed. On weekdays, when the monk refines qi, he meditates and breathes, exhales the aura, and those auras are scattered between heaven and earth, which is difficult to absorb, but the spiritual stone is different, the pure aura contained in it is in the hand, easy to absorb, and the efficiency is amazing. ”
Hong Jun listened and thought about it, and sure enough, his guess was right, the spirit stone can speed up his cultivation and increase his cultivation, but his own way of refining qi is very special, and it is not enough to have a spirit stone, so it was useless to have a spirit stone in his hand at the beginning.
Jiang Mingyu continued: "There are five elements in the aura of heaven and earth, and the spirit stone is made by gathering the aura, so naturally there is also the saying of the five elements. ”
"According to the difference in attributes, the spirit stones are mainly divided into five categories: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, of course, not all spirit stones belong to the five elements, and there are some extremely rare different spirit stones, such as thunder spirit stones, wind spirit stones, ice spirit stones, and even yin and yang spirit stones that only exist in the rumors, chaos spirit stones. There are many different varieties of spirit stones with each type of attributes, and the rich aura contained in them is also very different, which is roughly divided into four grades: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade and best grade. ”
"The aura contained in the inferior spirit stones of different attributes is roughly the same, with very few exceptions. For example, the wood-attributed cinnamon jade and the water-attributed azure stone, the aura they contain is almost the same, and the difference is insignificant. And above the middle grade, the difference between each kind of spirit stone is very large, the same is a medium grade spirit stone, even if the attributes are the same, the spiritual energy contained in it may be more than several times different, not to mention the different grades of spirit stones, the difference is usually a hundred times. ”
"Generally speaking, the medium-grade spirit stone is a hundred times that of the lower-grade spirit stone, and the high-grade is a hundred times that of the medium-grade, such as the fire source crystal and the incineration stone that are both fire spirit stones, one is the lower grade, the other is the upper grade, and the difference in the degree of aura contained in the two is 10,000 times, that is to say, a incinerated stone can be exchanged for 10,000 fire source crystals! However, the difference in the grade of the spirit stone is not fixed, after all, it is born naturally from heaven and earth, not artificial, and the value of different grades of spirit stones is very different, and it will test the monk's personal eyesight. ”
"The top-grade spirit stone is so precious!" Hong Jun was taken aback in his heart, remembering that Zhao Jingcheng said that his black crystal was a top-grade spirit stone, and now that he thinks about it, he must have been mistaken, the black crystal definitely does not have so much aura.
"Senior, are high-grade spirit stones common?" asked Hong Jun with a normal expression.
"How is this possible?" Jiang Mingyu shook his head and smiled, "I have never seen any kind of high-grade spirit stones, such treasures are no less valuable than high-grade magic weapons, they are rarely used as trading objects, and they have never been circulated among monks above the Jindan stage. ”
"This spirit stone is a good thing! In addition to being able to speed up cultivation, there are also many wonderful uses, it is the most commonly used raw material for monks, alchemy array, casting spells and drawing talismans, almost none of the hundred arts of cultivation can be separated from the spirit stone, monks have always been too little, not too much, and the more the merrier!"
"But every piece of spirit stone is formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years, the output is very small, but the consumption is very large, and it has always been in short supply in the cultivation realm, and a monk in the qi refining period can be regarded as having hundreds of spirit stones on his body. ”
"The 'wealth' in the four ways of cultivating the truth and wealth is not specifically referring to the spirit stone, but it is not far off. Just as in the mortal world, there are countless gold and silver treasures that can travel all over the world, in the cultivation realm, if you use inexhaustible spirit stones, the difficulty of cultivation will be reduced by fifty percent, and there will be a superior Dao method, and the ascension is just around the corner!"
When Jiang Mingyu said this, he seemed to remember a funny thing, and said: "There was once a great monk who had nothing to do, if he gave a monk an unlimited supply of spirit stones, did not take pills, did not count bottlenecks, did not refine magic weapons, did not go to fighting methods, and only cultivated with sufficient spirit stones every day, from the Qi refining period to the Yang God stage until the tribulation and ascension, a total of 1.80 billion spirit stones would be consumed!"
Hong Jun was dumbfounded when he heard this, one billion and eighty million spirit stones, what kind of concept is this? I can't even think about it.
Jiang Ke, who was listening quietly, was also dizzy, this number was too big for her.
"Hahaha......" Seeing Hong Jun and Jiang Ke's reactions, Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but say: "This is a joke that is widely spread in the cultivation world, I don't know if it's true or not, just listen to it." ”
"By the way, Lieshan Daoist, you can take a look at this spirit book, which lists dozens of common spirit stones in detail, as well as all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, rare birds and spirit beasts, and some common knowledge in the cultivation world, I won't repeat them one by one. As he spoke, a thick book appeared in Jiang Mingyu's hand, with the words "Lingjianlu" written on the cover.
Hong Jun was overjoyed, what he needed most now was this kind of entry-level thing, took the book, and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you Senior Jiang." ”
