Chapter 10: The Dark Stone
In the quiet stone room, Qin Tianxin carefully read the method he had cultivated this afternoon in the exercise book that his father had given him, and checked word by word whether there were any mistakes in the content he had memorized. The results speak for themselves, a qiē is correct, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Judging from the experience that Qin Tianxin had at this time, he had not yet entered the cultivation of refining gods, and he really couldn't find any reasonable explanation. In fact, this is not to blame Qin Tianxin, about the internal forces of the nerves in the brain, it is no longer simple to say clearly, I am afraid that even if Qin Naichuan is present, he will not be able to feel the battle between the two forces in Qin Tianxin's brain, let alone how to explain the cause of pain.
Qin Tianxin walked to the window, outside the window, the sky was no longer as bright as in the afternoon, it was obvious that dusk was coming, and the sun was about to sink in the west. He had just undergone a mysterious promotion, and at this time, Qin Tianxin had no intention of continuing to cultivate. It just so happened that the medicinal power of the Longyan Pill in his body was completely consumed in the promotion, and the medicine jar was already empty, Qin Tianxin decided to go out for a walk and go to the lobby again at dinner time.
Walking out of his room, Qin Tianxin slowly walked through the corridor and passed the rockery next to the pool. Looking at the entrance of the rockery and the slightly clear pond water, Qin Tianxin couldn't help but think of the scene when he played in the rockery when he was a child.
At that time, Qin Tianxin had not yet started to cultivate, and he liked to run around his house every day, and his favorite place was these rockeries. In and out of the rockery, he poked his head out of the middle of the two rockeries by the pond for a while, and climbed to the top of the rockery for a while, provoking the people to keep shouting "Young Master be careful" by the pool. When he was tired of playing, Qin Tianxin brought fish food, followed the example of an adult, and sprinkled the fish food into the pool. Looking at the fish in the pool snatching food, Qin Tianxin would happily clapping his hands non-stop.
These childhood memories were so precious that Qin Tianxin couldn't help but smile.
Since his cultivation, Qin Tianxin seemed to have gradually forgotten some of the scenery at home, and had no time to take care of and appreciate it. But when I relax and see it again today, it still feels so familiar, after all, it is my own home, and home is the warmest and most beautiful place. Thinking that he would be leaving in a few days, Qin Tianxin actually felt a lot of reluctance in his heart.
Walking to the gate, the subordinates saw that it was Qin Tianxin who came over, and greeted one after another.
"Young Master, are you going out for a walk?"
"Well, yes. Take a walk around the city, see the bustling bustle of our Tianji City, and soothe your fatigue. ”
The family hurriedly ran over and opened the door for Qin Tianxin. Everyone knows that although Qin Tianxin is the young master of the family, he has been cultivating hard in boredom, and he is also very easy-going with his subordinates. Therefore, these subordinates still like this young master with a good personality very much.
Walking on the streets of Tianji City, there are a dazzling array of shops on both sides, with large and small signs with the names of the shops written on them, such as Ruyi Gambling House, Anle Pharmacy, and so on. There were also some vendors who put their stalls on the side of the road, and they stood by the stalls and shouted loudly, "Hey, let's take a look, the elixir dug up from Xiaofeng Mountain outside the city is absolutely authentic", "I played with the beast core I got from the giant beast in the Dragon's Breath Forest, and I can't buy it and suffer a loss."
Qin Tianxin knew that whether it was in the store or at these roadside stalls, if he was lucky and willing to pay, he could buy some value-for-money goods, including some rare treasures. However, Qin Tianxin's family was wealthy, and his life since childhood was everything, so he didn't enter any store or stop in front of any stall. Qin Tianxin just wanted to walk around, see the excitement of Tianji City, and bring some memories to experience.
However, no matter what time of year and in what kind of bustling city, the most attractive thing to do business is often not the noisy stalls. On the contrary, sometimes a place that is too deserted and quiet, because it is too different, can arouse a strong curiosity in passers-by, and they will come forward to find out. Especially people who don't lack anything and don't pay much attention, like Qin Tianxin at this time.
At the intersection, a stall with almost no one patronizing, and even the stall was an old mat, made Qin Tianxin interested.
There weren't many things on the stall, there were a few first-grade and second-grade elixirs, a few ordinary beast cores, and even a vase, and a pitch-black stone. The stall owner is a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and he doesn't seem to be in good spirits, and he yawns from time to time. A not-so-pleasant smell vaguely wafted into the air, which should have emanated from a middle-aged man.
Qin Tianxin looked at the stall owner in front of him, who looked a little decadent, smiled, and took a step forward.
"Hey, what do you have for sale here? Look at you, as if you might fall asleep at any time, aren't you afraid that your things will be taken away?"
The middle-aged man leaned against the stone wall behind him, heard what seemed to be someone calling him, and slowly raised his head. When he saw that it was a teenager who shouted to him, he was about to say "I want you to be nosy", but at this time, he found that the young man was not dressed like a gangster on the street, and his temperament standing there was also a little extraordinary, so he didn't say that sentence.
"Nothing I've got here is worth anything, and no one will be interested. As for you saying that I'm almost asleep, it's just because I drank a lot last night and am still a little drowsy. ”
Qin Tianxin understood that this middle-aged man was almost an alcoholic, and he shouldn't be someone who often searched for valuable things to sell.
"Then what are you setting up a stall here for? The location you chose is quite good, right here at the intersection, people from the north and south will definitely pass by, but it is a good place to set up a stall. ”
"I slept here last night, and this is certainly where I set up my stall. I'm setting up a stall to sell these things I got from outside the city in exchange for some wine money, do you want to buy them?" the middle-aged man was a little interested, feeling that the young man in front of him might buy his things.
"I know what the rest is, what is this pitch-black stone?" Qin Tianxin did not shy away from this drunkard, and directly expressed the doubts in his heart.
"This stone I picked up when I was digging for the elixir, and I don't know where it came from, so I thought it was shaped like a stone ball, so I brought it back. ”
Qin Tianxin also guessed that the middle-aged man didn't know the origin of the pitch-black stone, and after getting the confirmation, he didn't feel disappointed. However, he wanted to see how his luck was, the first time he bought something from a small stall in Tianji City, he didn't know if this stone was a treasure.
"Then I bought all these things of yours, you see how much it costs. Qin Tianxin also knew that if he said that he would only buy this pitch-black stone, the middle-aged person might feel that he was interested in the stone, and it would not be too easy to buy.
"You buy them all? Well, I'll do the math. Well, give me forty heavenly coins, and all these things will be given to you. ”
"Forty points of heavenly coins? You don't know the market, right? Three first-level elixirs, at most six heavenly coins, two second-level elixirs, even if you have fourteen heavenly coins, these beast cores, the quality is not very good, even if five heavenly coins are good, even if this dark stone, your bid is the same as these beast cores, and the total is only thirty heavenly coins. You actually asked me for forty heavenly coins directly?" Although Qin Tianxin didn't buy much things, the Qin family often bought these things, and he knew the price very clearly.
"Forget it, thirty o'clock is thirty o'clock, you take the things, give me the money. The middle-aged man originally wanted to knock on what he thought was the rich young master, but when he saw that the other party explained the prices of various commodities so clearly, he immediately dispelled the idea of knocking on the bamboo. Just thinking about selling the things so that he could drink happily, he agreed to the price of thirty heavenly coins.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qin Tian took out thirty heavenly coins from his money bag, handed them to the middle-aged man, and took all the things on the bamboo mat in his hand. Look at the sky, it was almost dark, and Qin Tianxin began to walk back.
Behind a pillar not far away, a somewhat sturdy man watched Qin Tianxin's back gradually disappear into the crowd, and said a word to a lean man next to him.
"I went back to tell Lord Lin, and said that Qin Tianxin bought something at the stall and went in the direction of the Qin family's house. ”
"Yes!" the lean man replied and quickly left.
Qin Tianxin held something else in his left hand, and held the pitch-black stone in his right hand. Except for a trace of coolness that spread from the stone to Qin Tianxin's right palm, Qin Tianxin didn't feel anything else, as if it was just an ordinary stone.
Just when Qin Tianxin felt that the stone was very ordinary, suddenly, he seemed to notice that there was a pair of eyes looking at him behind his back. Qin Tianxin quickly turned around and carefully inspected for a while, but did not find any strange people behind. Could it be a delusion? Qin Tianxin pondered in his heart for a while, and also felt that he felt wrong, so he continued to walk home.
When he returned to the Qin family's mansion and walked back to his room, a maid happened to call him to eat. Qin Tianxin asked the maid to go first, and then, he put the things back in the room and walked to the lobby.
At the dinner table, as soon as Qin Tianxin sat down, his father Qin Naichuan's gaze swept over him and suddenly spoke.
"Tian'er, have you advanced to the upper level of refining veins?"
"Well, yes, father. In the afternoon, I tried another method in the exercises, and by chance, I broke through the middle level of refining the veins and advanced to the upper level of refining the veins. Qin Tianxin was not ready to tell Qin Nachuan about the strange severe pain that happened in the afternoon that hit his brain, because he couldn't tell the reason, and he didn't want his father and mother to worry too much about him.
"Hehe, yes, I didn't expect Tian'er to be faster this time than the last time when he advanced to the middle level of refining veins, not bad. Qin Tianxin was obviously very happy, and laughed heartily.
Then, the family began to eat dinner......
