Chapter 216: Natural Currency
Hearing that Chen Hao wanted to see the spirit stone mine, Zhang Dadao: "No problem, it's easy to find here." ”
The main mine extended about fifty or sixty zhang inside, and began to divide into five or six relatively low branch caves, and the light here also dimmed.
Zhang Da applied an illumination technique on himself, and this low-level technique could also be used with his cultivation of the fourth layer of Qi training.
The two of them chose a random branch hole and walked inside.
"From here, you might be able to find a few spirit stone mines. However, this is closer to the outside, and it is impossible to find a complete vein. Zhang Da explained to Chen Hao.
What is more strange is that the spirit stone, as an item containing extremely rich aura, will not leak its aura if it is not attracted by the monk's aura.
It may also be because of this feature that it can be used as a long-term storage currency. Otherwise, if it is left there for a long time, it will drain its aura!
Therefore, the search for spirit stone mines is mainly based on experience and the naked eye to discover. Of course, in the vicinity of the veins, it is not particularly difficult to find. If you can find a vein, it's easier, just follow the vein.
Soon, Zhang Da pointed to a corner of the cave wall and said to Chen Hao: "Boss, look, there is a spirit stone there. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and clasped it, and took a piece >(one-book) of reading novels xstxt spirit stone embedded in the soft cave wall.
Chen Hao took it and took a look, but it was the same as the spirit stone he was carrying. He couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "Why is this spirit stone dug up directly?"
"yes. Zhang Da said as a matter of course.
"I thought it was going to be processed. Chen Hao said.
"No, unless you want a pure single-attribute spirit stone. ”
The two of them continued on their way, and the cave began to get a little cold.
"I want to see what the larger spirit stones look like. Chen Hao said.
"Where did the big pieces come from?" Zhang Da said puzzledly: "As long as the spirit stone is dug out, it will be like this." ”
This is really a strange ore!
Could it be that even the ore veins are gathered together by such grains of spirit stones?
"Tick, tick", as we go deeper, the hole becomes wet. Because of the disrepair, water is dripping down in many places, and there is a lot of moss growing on the ground, which is a little slippery to walk.
"There should be a nest of spirit stones here!" Zhang Da said as he walked forward with his eyes, stopping at a place where a large chunk had collapsed.
Although he is not a miner, like the others in Overwatch City, he occasionally comes to the mine to find some spirit stones to use, so he naturally has some experience. It's just that Chen Hao can't see how he judges no matter what.
"Click, click, click" Zhang Da waved his shovel and began to dig through the collapsed earth and rock.
Chen Hao applied another illumination technique on the spot, so that he could see a larger area clearly.
"Haha, sure enough, there is a nest!" Zhang Da found the spirit stone, threw the shovel aside, and reached out to pick it up.
These spirit stones were densely clustered together, about thirty or forty grains, no wonder Zhang Da called them "a nest".
Chen Hao's eyes were sharp, but he saw something different: "These spirit stones, it seems that the moment they were dug up, they were differentiated into separate grains and grains......"
However, due to his lack of preparation, he was not sure whether what he was seeing was real or delusional.
Zhang Da picked up those spirit stones, handed them to Chen Hao and said, "Here, boss." ”
The spirit stone in this is really worthless, Zhang Da was excited to find the spirit stone, but it was just because the boss wanted to see it, and he happened to find it.
Even if he took this spirit stone, it would be of little use, because there were no foundation building monks in it, and no one could directly purify it. If you have to purify, you need to set up a formation, which is extremely time-consuming and troublesome. The pure spirit stones made in this way are too cost-effective to use for cultivation.
Chen Hao casually put the spirit stone into the storage bag, and he could still use it himself.
"Zhang Da, let's look further. But the next time you find a spirit stone, dig it a little slower. Chen Hao decided to take a closer look at the state of the spirit stone before it was dug up.
If you go any deeper, there will be some danger in the mine.
When the two of them passed through some places, a lot of loose earth and stones would fall from the roof of the cave. After all, this mine has been unmined for more than 100 years, and with less maintenance, it is gradually no longer so strong.
"I guess there is. Zhang Da didn't mean to maintain the mine at all, so he dug it on the cave wall casually.
If the mine were still running, this would certainly not be allowed. In order to mine a little bit of spirit stone ore, the structure of the mine cave is destroyed, which is completely unworthy.
Chen Hao looked at the rugged mine, and after the heart path may be abandoned, the occasional people who come here dig around, which is also the reason for the destruction of the mine.
"It's coming out soon. Zhang Da reminded.
Chen Hao took advantage of the light of the illumination technique to carefully look at the big shovel head.
There was a sudden flash of light in front of him, which was the reflection of the spirit stone when it appeared.
Chen Hao's eyes were like electricity, and he suddenly saw clearly that when the spirit stone first appeared, it was indeed a whole piece. But as soon as it was exposed, it quickly shattered into small pieces like weathered rocks!
The fragmentation is extremely regular, each grain is the same size, as if it were the structure of some kind of crystal.
The edge part of the ore, which is less than the size of a grain, attracts and polymerizes with each other until it forms the shape and size of the spirit stone that is usually seen, and then solidifies. The rest of the bits and pieces immediately dissipated.
"It seems that this size and shape must be necessary for the structure of the spirit stone to be stable. Chen Hao thought secretly.
It's kind of amazing!
However, if it weren't for the spirit stone with this property, how could it be directly used as a common currency among monks?
On a whim, Chen Hao took a spirit stone dug out by Zhang Dagang and slashed it with a mandarin duck sword!
I saw that the spirit stones that had been cut in half were gathered together, but when they were cut open, a lot of debris flew away, and it seemed that it was no longer enough to form a spirit stone, just like ice cubes placed on a hot pot, quickly dissipating into the air.
With such a characteristic, even if people want to cheat, it becomes impossible to get a little bit on each spirit stone.
"No wonder...... Coupled with the effect of the spirit stone itself, this is simply the most perfect natural currency!"
Such a currency, whether counterfeit or short-bodied, has become impossible.
Therefore, the use of spirit stones as currency, even if it has slightly exceeded its actual value, is still acceptable to everyone. Just because it is too much more troublesome to find another substitute than the spirit stone that can be used as a circulating substance by directly mining it.
