Celestial being

Yuan Ming carefully looked at the stone wall in front of him, sometimes reaching out to touch and knock on it.

After some investigation, he quickly discovered something strange. When he knocked on a place on the mountain wall, it made an obvious echo, as if it was empty.

"Could someone have hidden some treasure here?" Yuan Ming's heart moved, he took out the herring sword and stabbed it there.

There was a soft sound of "Pfft", and the herring sword penetrated easily, almost no resistance was felt. The inside was indeed hollow, and the stone wall was only three inches thick.

Yuan Ming pulled out the herring sword and stabbed it several times. The stone wall was completely shattered, revealing a five-foot-high semicircular hole with a stone chamber-like space inside.

Huo Gan'er cheered and flew in.

Yuan Ming was worried that there was a scam inside and Huo Chan'er would be hurt, so he hurriedly chased after him.

There is indeed a stone room inside the cave entrance, which is seven or eight feet in diameter. It looks like a person's residence. It has a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone bench. There is no shortage of everything. There is also a bookshelf against the wall with more than a dozen green books. leather books.

They were covered in thick dust and had obviously been unoccupied for a long time.

Yuan Ming looked around and found no dangers such as traps. He felt relieved and walked to the bookshelf to take down the book on the far right. The cover had three characters "Qishi Lu" written on it, and in the lower right corner of the cover there were Two small words "Volume 1".

He flipped through it briefly, and the content inside was just like the name of the book, which introduced various ores. Each ore was recorded in very detail, which was far superior to some of the ore books in Guizang Pavilion.

Because he worked in Huofang, Yuan Ming thought he was already familiar with all kinds of ores, but the content in the book was several times more detailed than what he knew, and many of the contents were even more unheard of by him.

He took other books, all of which were "Stories of Strange Stones". From Volume 1 to Volume 16, they collected the properties, origins, uses, etc. of thousands of minerals in the world. They were comprehensive and extremely detailed. It was simply a collection of minerals from the world. Encyclopedia.

Compared with it, the "Herborist Collection" and Huofang's "Qi Refining Fundamentals" he had obtained before were so crude that it made people blush.

"Okay, great." Yuan Ming clenched the book in his hand.

He had just entered the world of immortality and needed such monographs to enrich his knowledge.

But there was too much content in these dozen "Stories of Strange Stones", and he couldn't read them all in a while, so he immediately put all the books into his storage bag.

"I wonder who lived here before? There is such a set of ore books hidden there." Yuan Ming looked around and became curious about the people who once lived here.

Judging from the situation here, the other party has been away for a long time. It is not known whether he left temporarily or completely abandoned the place. In short, he did not take away these precious classics, which was an advantage for himself.

At this moment, the sounds of "chi la" and "chi la" came from the side, accompanied by Huo Gan'er's hurried cry.

Yuan Ming looked over, but Huo Greedy'er was lying on the stone wall at the deepest part of the stone room, scratching and scratching there.

"Hey, this place is hollow too?" He walked over and knocked on the stone wall, and sure enough, there was an echo.

But the echo this time was very weak. It was obvious that the stone wall in front of him was quite thick and could not be broken through as easily as before.

"It seems that there is a dark room inside. Generally speaking, the door of the dark room is opened with a mechanism." He searched nearby and soon found an inconspicuous raised stone in the corner of the stone wall not far away.

Yuan Ming held the stone and moved it left and right. With a soft "click" sound, the stone turned half a circle.

The stone wall slowly moved to the side, revealing a dark passage.

Huo Chan'er looked excited and immediately flew in, but was grabbed from behind by Yuan Ming.

"This place is weird, don't be careless." He said slowly, took out the white ape skin with his other hand and put it on his body. After transforming into the white ape form, he carefully entered it.

The height of the passage was limited, so he lowered his head slightly to pass. He walked very carefully and it took him a while to reach the end.

This is also a stone room, about the same size. Different from the outside, there is a casting furnace placed here, and the flames inside have naturally been extinguished long ago.

This casting furnace is much larger than the one in the firehouse, and there are many mysterious patterns engraved on it. It does not seem to be an ordinary casting furnace.

Next to the stove there are anvils for forging, storage racks, etc., making it look like a complete refining room.

Huo Greedy'er kept yelling at the shelf. There were four or five pieces of red jade on the shelf. They looked very similar to Huo Puyu, but the fire-attribute spiritual power fluctuations they emitted were extremely astonishing, far beyond the comparison of Huo Puyu. .

Yuan Ming also carefully explored the surrounding environment, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked over and picked up a piece of red jade.

"This jade...could it be fire chalcedony!" His eyes were filled with joy.

Fire jade is born from the fusion of the power of fire in volcanic lava with underground ores. If the environment is suitable and the fire power is sufficient, fire jade can continue to absorb the power of fire spirits and evolve, and it may transform into a brand new species after more than a hundred years. Ore, fire chalcedony.

Huo Greedy'er let out a squeaking scream, his eyes fixed on the fire chalcedony, and his saliva dripped down.

"Little Greedy Cat." Yuan Ming smiled slightly and gave Huo Greedy'er the jade in his hand as a reward.

Huo Greedy'er grabbed it, held it in his arms and started chewing it happily.

Yuan Ming took the opportunity to collect all the remaining four pieces of fire chalcedony.

The fire attribute spiritual power contained in fire chalcedony is more than ten times that of fire jade. It is considered a medium spiritual material and is valuable.

The place in Biluo Cave where spiritual materials can be directly exchanged for contribution points is called Qingfu Hall. A piece of fire chalcedony can be exchanged for ten contribution points, which is equivalent to collecting a hundred blue water stones. You can't just let the fire go. The greedy children ate them all.

Yuan Ming is in a good mood. With these pieces of fire chalcedony, this risk will not be in vain.

He walked around the stone room and came to the other side of the forging furnace, then paused.

I saw a corpse lying quietly here, but I couldn't see it because it was blocked by the casting furnace.

The corpse is holding a dark red hammer in its right hand. The handle of the hammer is a piece of bronze wood. I don’t know what kind of wood it is. The hammer head is dark and shiny, with dense flame patterns engraved on it. It looks like the gravel hammer in the firehouse. The patterns are somewhat similar, but there are ten times more.

Yuan Ming tried to pick up the hammer, but it turned out to be extremely heavy, more than five times heavier than the Huofang's casting hammer. Fortunately, he was now in the form of a white ape. If he were in human form, even if he could lift it, he probably wouldn't be able to lift it easily. wave.

He poured mana into it, and with a muffled "bang" sound, a flaming red light suddenly appeared on the hammer. A strong and abnormal mana wave erupted, and the nearby air buzzed and trembled.

"What a powerful hammer, could it be a magic weapon?" Yuan Ming looked happy and hurriedly used the object-repelling technique to try to control it.

The light on the dark red hammer flashed continuously, and it reacted strongly to the object-repelling technique, but that was all. It could not be driven immediately like the incense burner.

Yuan Ming didn't pay attention to this, shouted low, and swung the hammer against a nearby stone wall.

There was a loud "bang", a sound like thunder and fire. Large areas of the thick stone wall collapsed, and cracks appeared on several other walls of the stone room.

This seemingly solid stone chamber almost collapsed with his hammer.

Yuan Ming was surprised and happy in his heart. He did not expect that the attack power of this hammer was so amazing. Even if it was not a magic weapon, it was not far behind.

The only pity is that this hammer is too heavy. Even with the power gained by White Ape's transformation, it is not very flexible to swing, and there are still many inconveniences in using it in battle.

He shook his head regretfully, put the dark red sledgehammer into his storage bag, and then looked at the corpse in front of him.

The body of the corpse is quite tall, and it seems that he should be from southern Xinjiang. The clothes on his body are also in the southern Xinjiang style, and have not decayed much. From this, it can be deduced that the time of this person's death should be within the past two years.

Yuan Ming carefully turned the corpse over, and with a soft "click" sound, a black pouch fell down, and a faint forbidden aura lingered on it.

He was no stranger to this smell, because he also had a similar thing, and this small bag was exactly a storage bag.

"There is a storage bag. It seems that this person is also a monk, and his cultivation level is not low!" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, carefully took the bag, poured mana into it, and operated it according to the refining method taught by the Third Cave Master.

The black pouch was quickly refined, revealing the inner space.

He looked shocked. The space inside the black pouch was actually very large. The storage bag given to him by the Lord of Three Cave was only five or six feet square, similar to the size of a wardrobe, but this black pouch was half the size of a room.

According to the information he learned, in the world of immortality in southern Xinjiang, storage instruments are inherently precious. The larger the internal space, the higher the value. The internal space of this black pouch is so large that I am afraid it will be sold. It can be directly exchanged for several offensive magic weapons.

Yuan Ming's heart was pounding, he clenched the bag, turned around and looked around, as if he was afraid of being seen.

But the next moment he realized that this was an uninhabited island. Apart from him, there was probably no one else on the island, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The black pouch was not empty. There was a brick-thick white book and a dozen red pebbles the size of pigeon eggs placed in the corner.

Yuan Ming took out a red round stone. There was a fiery red light inside, and a wave of spiritual power came out of it. Although it was not very strong, it was very pure.

"Could this thing be a spiritual stone?" He whispered to himself.

The so-called spiritual stone, as the name suggests, is a stone that contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is the most common and important type of resource in the world of immortality.

The basic essence of the practice of thousands of monks in the world is to absorb the scattered spiritual power between heaven and earth, and transform it into mana that they can control through various techniques.

It's just that the spiritual power between heaven and earth is scattered and mixed with each other. To extract one of them for refining is time-consuming and laborious. This is also the biggest obstacle that prevents monks from quickly improving their cultivation.

Some caves and blessed places in the world are born with strong spiritual energy and form spiritual veins. Over time, spiritual stones may be born near the spiritual veins.

The spiritual stone contains spiritual energy, which is extremely pure. It can be directly incorporated into the magic power without the need to refine it. The cultivation speed is much faster than ordinary meditation.

With this effect, spirit stones can be called the number one treasure in the world of immortality, and they can even be used as hard currency in transactions.

However, the role of spirit stones is not only to assist cultivation. Under the research of immortal cultivators of all ages, they have been used in refining weapons, refining elixirs, arranging magic circles, etc., and can play even more unique and wonderful functions. It can be said that as long as it is Spiritual stones can play a huge role in anything that requires spiritual power.

With so many uses, spirit stones have become highly sought-after. Various sects are competing for this rare resource. Yuan Ming doesn't know what happens in other places, but it is said that the only spirit stone mine in Biluo Cave is regarded as... A large number of monks were dispatched to protect the important area of ​​the sect, and one of the most popular tasks in the execution hall was the task of guarding the Lingshi Mine.
