Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 264 Spirit Stone
When it was getting dark, Zhao Lin took out the lunch that he had brought back at noon, and planned to eat it cold, when he suddenly remembered that his junior sister Bai He was having menstruation, so he should not eat raw or cold food, so he brought his things to the firewood room.

There is an earthen stove in the firewood room, and a pile of firewood is neatly stacked next to it. It is full of dust and cobwebs, and it seems that it has not been used for a long time.

"Enough."

Zhao Lin nodded and said to himself, went to the water tank under the eaves to carry a bucket of water, cleaned the stove, lit the stove, boiled water, and then put the food box and cage in the pot and steamed it with hot air.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the firewood room, Li Sancai opened the door and walked in, seeing the steaming heat in the room, he was surprised and said: "Brother, do you want to help?"

"It's almost there, help me carry it."

Zhao Lin knew who it was without looking. The other three teenagers were from a wealthy family and had never done such a job.

The two brought the food to the front yard, and Zhu Cong, He Shaoqun and Bai He hurried up to take it.

"The dishes are hot, brother, you have worked hard!"

"Oh, we should help together..."

The five people sat on the spot, forming a circle, eating and chatting, having fun.

"Brother Xun, come over to eat together?"

Zhao Lin gave He Shaoqun a wink, He Shaoqun understood and invited Brother Xun.

Senior Brother Xun shook his head lightly, "Eat it! I'm not being polite, Senior Brother. After opening the pulse, you must get rid of impurities in your body and try to make it as clean as possible."

"As the saying goes, you can't get tired of fine food, and you can't get tired of fine meat. All grains and meat in the world contain turbidity. Eating it will consume one's own spiritual power to refine it, which is very detrimental to cultivation."

"The aura in this world is already thin, how dare you eat these things."

Zhao Lin noticed that Senior Brother Xun's Adam's apple twitched twice when he spoke, and he seemed to be obsessed with these turbid foods.

"Really can't eat at all?"

Zhu Cong asked curiously: "Then what do you eat, brother? You can't really eat the wind and drink the dew?"

Senior Brother Xun smiled slightly and explained: "In Xuanyuan Continent, monks eat more spiritual rice, which not only does not contain turbid energy, but also replenishes spiritual energy."

"However, Lingmi is inconvenient to carry and store, so most of the trips carry Bigu Dan with you."

While speaking, his cuffs flicked, and a blue pill the size of a longan appeared in his palm.

"This pill is made from the essence extracted from spiritual rice and several kinds of spiritual herbs. After taking one pill, you don't need to eat for half a month, and you can also replenish some spiritual energy."

"I wait for the monks stationed, and I usually eat this."

Zhu Cong licked his lips and said innocently: "Brother, can you break a piece for me to taste?"

As he spoke, he reached into his clothes and took out a gold ingot, as if he had made up his mind, "I'll exchange this with you."

Brother Xun laughed loudly when he heard the words, and soon stopped laughing, "The real gold and silver in the mortal world are worthless in the world of cultivating immortals."

"Furthermore, you haven't started cultivating the Tao yet. Eating Bigu Dan is like chewing peonies. You can't refine the spiritual energy in it, and it won't help your body."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand lightly, "When we get to the sect, Bigu Pill will be issued, I'm afraid you will find it tasteless and won't be able to satisfy your desire for tongue and tongue."

Zhao Lin's eyes flickered, and he remembered the spirit stone that Huang Zhuosong and Lu Qing had mentioned. Unfortunately, they didn't bring it with them at that time, so they didn't have the chance to see it, so it's better to take the opportunity to have a look.

Thinking of this, he said, "Senior Brother Xun, I heard from the garrison monks that the spiritual energy in this world is thin, and the monks cannot practice. The sect even distributed spirit stones to you. Is there such a thing?"

Senior Brother Xun raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it, spirit stones can't be shown to ordinary people, but you are going to enter the sect soon, so it's okay to have a look."

As he spoke, he shook his hand, and there was a square "jade" in his palm.

"This is the spirit stone, which contains spiritual energy. If you put it in your stomach, you can absorb it into your body for cultivation."

Everyone stared at the spirit stone in his hand curiously, only to see that it was three inches long and wide, and about one inch thick, which could barely be held with a palm.

The color of the spirit stone is light blue, with a touch of green in it, and the smoke is dense, like a swimming dragon flying up and down, it looks very mysterious.

A few steps away, Zhao Lin could feel the strong aura, and thought: "Sure enough, it is more than a hundred times stronger than the vitality, but I don't know how it was hidden just now."

"Brother, can I touch it?" He Shaoqun asked boldly.

Senior Brother Xun stretched his palm forward, "Take it yourself."

He Shaoqun immediately got up and walked over, holding the spirit stone in the palm of his hand, for fear of accidentally dropping it on the ground.

Brother Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, this thing is as solid as gold and stone, even if you throw it hard, it won't break."

When He Shaoqun came back and sat down, several younger brothers and younger sisters immediately came forward to watch, but Zhao Lin did not hurry up and asked Senior Brother Xun, "Senior Brother, how many Bigu Pills can one spirit stone exchange for?"

Because of his experience in martial arts, Zhao Lin is very concerned about the cost of cultivating Taoism.

Senior Brother Xun's expression moved slightly, his eyes showed approval, "Junior Brother Zhao got the point!"

"Spiritual stones can not only be used for cultivation, but also for healing, setting up formations, driving magic tools, refining alchemy and so on."

"Because of its abundant output and wide range of uses, it is also the most common currency in Xuanyuan Continent. Many items for cultivating Taoism are priced with spirit stones."

"Bigudan is a must-have item for monks, and it is easy to carry, and it is often used to measure prices."

"One Lingshi can be exchanged for a bottle of Bigu Pill, and there are twenty Bigu Pills in a bottle."

He Shaoqun and the others had been watching around the Lingshi, but when they heard Senior Brother Xun's words, they all raised their heads and listened carefully.

Brother Xun continued: "In addition to Lingshi and Bigu Pill, there is also a low-grade talisman in the world of cultivating immortals, called the Qingxin talisman. It has the function of calming the mind and isolating external noises, which will help monks in their cultivation."

"Pure Heart Talisman is easy to make, cheap to sell, and can sometimes be used as 'money'."

"Of course, the most popular of these three items must be Lingshi. The quality of Bigu Pill and Qingxin Talisman varies, and it is not convenient to check. Lingshi is the most reliable."

Having said that, Senior Brother Xun paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "If you don't have wealth, you can cultivate the Tao. Pills, talismans, dharma clothes, magic treasures, spiritual palaces... everything needs spiritual stones."

"Talent and hard work are important, but it's absolutely impossible without money!"

"Without wealth, there is no way to support..."

Zhao Lin murmured softly, thinking that it was indeed the case. It seems that when he arrived in Xuanyuan Continent, he must find a way to accumulate more spirit stones to support his cultivation.

Zhu Cong and others took turns watching and touching the Lingshi, and finally handed it over to Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin took it, and his first reaction was "hand drop".

According to a rough estimate, the spirit stone weighs about four catties, which is about as heavy as an iron block of the same size, and its density is seven to eight times that of water.

Just when he was about to ponder further, he suddenly felt a palpitation, and the spirit beast picture in his mind shone brightly and shook violently.
