Chapter VIII

Holding the Earth Mother Stone, Ishikawa thought about it over and over again, not even wanting to eat dinner, he was now desperate to figure out why this Earth Mother would attract those broken spirit weapons.

And the old name Hanako, maybe he hasn't appeared for a long time, and Ishikawa doesn't know what he's doing.

Until the moon branches, Ishikawa still didn't figure it out, and Ishikawa got into it to see what the mystery was.

"Yes, go in!" Ishikawa suddenly thought, the old Hanako is hiding in this earth mother stone, since the old Hanako can go in, why can't Ishikawa go in?

Ishikawa is not the country boy he used to be now, he is now a second-level monk in the Qi cultivation period, a real cultivator, although he has not practiced any exercises, but there is no problem in controlling his aura and primordial spirit.

"Ning!" Ishikawa condensed his original spirit into a wisp, and then placed the earth mother stone on his forehead.

Like a huge magnet, Ishikawa could not resist it, so it attracted Ishikawa's divine sense.

When Ishikawa regained his senses, he found himself in an earthy yellow illusion. Not far from the Ishikawa, a white-haired old man sat in the air.

Ishikawa recognized it at a glance, this was the old name Hanako, but his clothes were very neat, and his appearance was also very cold, which made Ishikawa feel that he was a very advanced cultivator at a glance.

Hanako didn't move at all, obviously not reacting to Ishikawa's arrival.

Ishikawa didn't care about his old name, and began to look around.

"Dark iron, pure gold!" Ishikawa saw a finger-sized ball floating in the air. These are relatively common refining materials, and Ishikawa, who often goes in and out of the refining workshop, can certainly recognize them.

In addition to these round balls, there is also half a sword, which is the sect spirit weapon that Ishikawa got from the woman surnamed Zhang, but now, more than half of it has been melted, and a little bit of the sword can be seen.

Could it be that this earth mother stone has the effect of melting spiritual weapons, and then converting these spiritual weapons into the materials needed to refine it?

Ishikawa made such a bold inference.

After all, apart from this shapeless spirit artifact silver sword, Ishikawa hadn't found any other spirit artifact, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion easily.

It would be nice if Hanako was always there, Ishikawa thought, but unfortunately Hanako was like a piece of wood, and she didn't move at all.

After a few laps around the illusion, Ishikawa didn't find anything special.

"How can I get out of here?" Ishikawa wondered.

Just thinking about it, Ishikawa appeared on the outside of the earth mother stone.

Picking up the earth mother stone with his hand, Ishikawa put it on his forehead again, and instantly entered the illusion of the earth mother stone.

This time, Ishikawa didn't go back empty-handed, grabbed a small ball of dark iron in one hand, and after thinking about it again, he came out of the Earth Mother Stone Illusion Realm again.

Ishikawa looked at his hands, and sure enough, there were two more thumb-sized black iron balls.

Although it was only a little bit, Ishikawa could feel the weight of this black iron ball.

"Get rich!haha!" Ishikawa laughed, it was not for nothing to help in the refining workshop, Ishikawa naturally knew the preciousness of refining materials such as dark iron, such a piece of dark iron the size of his thumb could make an ordinary family live a prosperous life for decades.

As for how many pills and spirit stones can be exchanged, Ishikawa doesn't know, but there is no doubt that as long as there are enough discarded spirit weapons, Ishikawa will be able to get a large amount of refining materials, and the pills and spirit stones will naturally be no problem.

After receiving that secret order, Ishikawa was already clearly aware of his situation, the strength that he must improve, and he should improve his strength as soon as possible.

One more strength, one more ability to protect oneself.

For now, though, Ishikawa suppressed his ecstasy. In the end, whether the earth mother stone really has this effect or not, we still need to find some broken spiritual weapons to test. In addition, this broken spirit weapon is not a stone on the mountain, you can have as many as you want, and for a while, Ishikawa had no way to find it.

..................

Time flies, and before I know it, another month has passed, and Ishikawa has been coming to Shuilingmen for half a year, and for such a long time, he has never seen Qingchuan, and he has not even heard the information once.

There was no intersection between the inner disciples and the outer disciples. Ishikawa didn't dare to ask Elder Yun either, so as not to cause any trouble to Qingchuan.

However, Qingchuan was accepted as an apprentice by the female elder, so he should not be treated badly.

In a month's time, Ishikawa also became a third-level monk in the Qi cultivation period with the help of the Qi Refining Pill obtained from the female cultivator surnamed Zhang. Among the inner disciples of the Water Spirit Sect, this can be regarded as a middle-class and lower-class monk.

Taking so many pills in a short period of time, the effect is naturally a little weakened, but Ishikawa's cultivation speed can be regarded as against the sky.

After the pill was used up, Ishikawa's cultivation speed began to decline again. The so-called eating marrow knows the taste, try to take pills to improve the speed of cultivation, and there is not a day when Ishikawa, who does not have pills, does not want to go anywhere to find some pills to take. It's a pity that an outer disciple like him is rare to see even the dregs of medicine.

When he was working in the refining workshop, Ishikawa also occasionally stole one or two small broken spirit weapons, and secretly carried them into his arms when others were not paying attention. Although these failed refining artifacts have no effect at all, and they cannot be purified, the water spirit gate stipulates that they must be stored in the warehouse. Take one or two pieces, and the quantity will not be found. But if he is accidentally seen, Ishikawa will be in big trouble.

These broken spiritual artifacts were quickly transformed into dark iron and pure gold in the earth mother stone. After Ishikawa saw it for himself, he secretly had some other thoughts in his heart: should I find a better errand to do.

On this day, Ishikawa was carrying water, and suddenly the deacon of the outer gate, Hong Fatzi, came to the door.

"Ishikawa, come out of here. ”

"I wonder what my brother told me about?" Ishikawa said respectfully. For Hong Fatzi, Ishikawa doesn't have much contact, this person is a little greedy, and there are no shortcomings.

Fat Hong squinted his eyes and stared at Ishikawa, looking at it carefully, this Ishikawa was just an ordinary person, why did Elder Yun treat him differently from others? Not to mention anything else, it was very strange that Ishikawa was allowed not to work on the first day of every month.

Among the outer gates, there has never been a person like Ishikawa who has received special care from an elder in the foundation building period.

"Could it be that this Ishikawa has any special identity?" Hong Fatzi thought secretly in his heart, he was very clear in his heart, Ishikawa was definitely not Elder Yun's descendant, otherwise Ishikawa would definitely not suffer in the outer gate, but if it didn't matter, there was still something to do with it, could it be Elder Yun's neighbor, after the old friend?

Fat Hong was quite satisfied with his guess, and then he remembered the purpose of his trip, and said kindly: "Ishikawa, Elder Yun asked you to go to his cave mansion. ”

"Yes! Thank you, Deacon Hong. Ishikawa arched his hand and walked towards Elder Yun's cave mansion, and he was also very puzzled in his heart.

It stands to reason that there are still ten days before Elder Yun instructs Ishikawa, so why is it ahead of schedule this time? And he has to go to Elder Yun's cave mansion.

However, Elder Yun had an order, and Ishikawa had to go as well.

When he arrived at Elder Yun's cave mansion, after Ishikawa visited him, he found that there was a middle-aged monk beside Elder Yun, wearing a fiery red robe, and there was a bright red fire character in the middle of his forehead. The fire aura on his body leaked out, and at first glance, he was not a monk of the Water Spirit Sect.

"This is the Fire Crane Elder of the Fire Spirit Sect, you can call Uncle Fire Master. Elder Yun said indifferently.

"I've seen Elder Fire. Ishikawa bowed respectfully. In his heart, he sneered: "This Elder Huo, maybe it is the person who communicated with Elder Yun, after the man surnamed Tian died, the secret order was not brought over, I didn't expect this Elder Huo to come over in person." ”

Elder Huo also took out a bronze mirror and looked at Ishikawa carefully, before nodding and saying.

"Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, you first run the "Water Dragon Duel" that your master taught you and let me see it. ”

"Yes. Ishikawa started to run "Water Dragon Decision" according to the book. As before, due to the existence of the earth mother stone, this "Water Dragon Duel" has less than half an effect.

Looking at Elder Yun and Elder Huo's eager appearances, Ishikawa pretended to mourn and said, "Master, uncle, I work hard to cultivate whenever I have time, but no matter what the method, it just won't work, is it that I can't cultivate in my life." Master, you have to help me!"

Elder Yun nodded towards Elder Fire.

Elder Fire spoke: "Since you can't cultivate the Water System Exercises, I suspect that it is the accumulation of meridians in your body, which causes the Water Spirit to be different. You can practice the exercises of our Fire Spirit Sect. ”

"Really?" Ishikawa asked, feigning surprise.

He had now thoroughly understood what these two men meant. Elder Huo just used the bronze mirror to confirm that Ishikawa had five earth spirit roots, and now he proposed to teach Ishikawa the exercises of the Fire Spirit Gate. There was no doubt that this was exactly the same as Elder Yun's thoughts.

The purpose of the two was for Ishikawa to practice a non-earth-based technique in order to achieve their ulterior secrets.

Naturally, Ishikawa couldn't shirk it and pretended not to understand anything. Hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Elder Huo for making it complete, but this matter must be approved by my master, otherwise it will ......"

"It's okay!" Elder Yun waved his hand, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Okay, then you learn from me. Elder Fire chanted the mantra in his mouth, and his hands did not stop.

Ishikawa imitated the gourd painting scoop, and I have to say that after dozens of times of practicing "Water Dragon Decision", Ishikawa's imitation speed has reached the point of perfection.

At least in appearance it is the same.

Elder Fire saw that Ishikawa could understand it at one point, and said happily: "The son can be taught!"

But he didn't expect that while he was calculating Ishikawa, Ishikawa was just making a show. Comparing and analogizing, he didn't even bother to use the aura, so since then, Ishikawa has no effect.

After tossing for more than two hours, Elder Fire wiped the sweat on his body, and in these two hours, Elder Fire exhausted all the methods of his body, but there was only one result, Ishikawa couldn't cultivate any of the exercises of the Fire Spirit Sect at all.

Elder Huo helplessly spread his hands at Elder Yun, saying that he had nothing to do.

"Alright, Ishikawa, you can go back first. In the future, the monthly meeting in the back mountain will be canceled. If anything, I'll let Fat Hong go to you. After you go back, practice well and learn the exercises, and if you make any breakthroughs, come to me immediately. ”

"Master, you can't leave me alone in the future, I will definitely study hard, I will not give up for ten or twenty years, I will definitely become an immortal like my master......" Ishikawa said with a sad face, as if he would never be able to enter the cultivation realm in the future. However, his heart was full of joy, because he would never have to come to see Elder Yun once a month in the future.

Although there was a hidden cultivation of the earth mother stone, Ishikawa was still worried that if Elder Yun saw through his cultivation, once it was discovered, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"That's it...... You go back, I will ask Fat Hong to give you some convenience. Elder Yun waved his hand and drove Ishikawa, who was full of frustration, out.

..................

After Ishikawa left, Elder Huo sighed lightly and said, "Senior Brother Yun is right, this son is indeed the Five Earth Spirit Roots, but what makes me wonder is, how can there be such a person? Not even an ordinary mortal. ”

"It's good to be waste, so we don't have to worry about it. Elder Yun smiled.

The two of them burst into laughter.
