Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 34 Spiritual Stone
"Brother Wei is a man of high moral character. I admire him. I may have been rude in the past. Please don't take offense."

Wei Kuang's behavior today was really frank, and Wei Xu immediately liked him much more. In addition, Wei Kuang's previous action of not using the heart-strengthening pill had completely changed Wei Xu's opinion of him, so he wanted to make friends with him.

Wei Kuang said, "Brother Wei, you are too kind. I just don't dare to take what is not my due."

"What are you two saying here, you two should just be speaking sour words? We should ask our senior brother to give us some instructions."

Wang Xiaohu and Feng Yuan cheered from the side.

Ever since Wei Kuang surrendered to Zhou Qing, the tension between the local and foreign factions among this class of disciples disappeared.

Both of them are smart and mischievous. They used to have secret dealings with each other, and now they are even more familiar with each other, almost to the point of going out together every day.

When the other disciples heard what they said, they all urged Zhou Qing to give his instructions as the eldest senior brother.

The eldest brother system is a universal system in the entire world of immortal cultivation.

The eldest senior brother of each sect is the leader of the current generation of disciples and has extremely high authority.

Zhou Qing has a semi-teacher relationship with his fellow junior brothers and sisters. Compared with other senior brothers, his authority is even greater, almost to the point where he has the final say.

Zhou Qing did not refuse. He walked to the front of the disciples and said with a smile, "I don't have any instructions. I only have three things to explain."

All the fellow disciples fell silent and listened attentively to what he had to say.

Zhou Qing said: "These three things are cultivation, cultivation, and damn cultivation!"

The disciples couldn't help but burst out laughing when they heard what he said so interestingly.

Zhou Qing waited until the laughter died down before continuing, "The world is like a sea of ​​suffering, and all living beings are like duckweed, drifting aimlessly and without control. It is a rare fate that we can be together."

"We are all cultivators. If we are lucky, we may have a friendship that lasts for a hundred years or even a thousand years. Everyone here, and even everyone in the Qingyun Sect, will rely on each other to gain a foothold in the world of cultivation."

"So I hope everyone can forge ahead and make sure no one is left behind."

They were all teenagers who had been together day and night for three months and had already established many ties. Now, when they heard Zhou Qing suddenly stretch the timeline to the scale of hundreds or thousands of years, they were suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. Looking at the fellow disciples around them, they all felt a close feeling in their hearts.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I have finished what I want to say. Now comes the second important matter of the day. I would like to ask Uncle Chen to distribute our monthly allowance of spirit stones."

The crowd erupted in laughter again.

Chen Qingxuan smiled and took out a brocade bag from his arms and poured it onto the open space in front of the disciples.

Immediately, a mountain of brocade boxes appeared on the open space.

Chen Qingxuan said: "Everyone come forward in turn to receive it."

Everyone guessed that the brocade box should contain the long-awaited spiritual stone, and their eyes lit up.

Not to mention disciples of mortal origin, even disciples of the local sect do not all have the opportunity to see spirit stones.

But everyone has heard of spirit stones and knows that they are the most important resource for cultivators to practice.

With the help of spirit stones, the speed of a cultivator's practice can be increased several times.

In order to fight for a high-quality spirit stone, many independent cultivators may risk their lives.

Even large sects have to pay a heavy price every year to maintain the ownership of their spirit stone mines or to fight for new spirit stone mines.

Therefore, everyone has been looking forward to the time when they can get the spirit stones.

When Chen Qingxuan told everyone to take their turn, everyone turned their attention to Zhou Qing, ready to rush forward once the eldest brother took his. Zhou Qing smiled and prepared to pick up one at random from the pile of brocade boxes.

Chen Qingxuan stopped him and said with a smile: "Here are yours."

As he said this, he took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was stunned at first, then he remembered that he seemed to have heard Wang Xiaohu say that the eldest senior brother had twice as many resources as other disciples.

Zhou Qing took the brocade box from Chen Qingxuan, and the other disciples immediately let out strange cries and rushed forward to grab all the spirit stones.

Wang Xiaohu opened the brocade box impatiently.

Zhou Qing took a glance and found a small cloth bag inside, and two goose egg-sized, smooth and round stones like jade and fat.

The stone is milky white overall, but it has many colorful spots crisscrossing inside.

Zhou Qing also opened his brocade box and found that the configuration inside was the same as Wang Xiaohu's, except that there were far fewer colorful marks on the surface of the spirit stone and it was more transparent overall.

He guessed that this was because the two spirit stones were of different grades.

In addition to the spirit stones, the small cloth bag contained some medicinal herbs, and Zhou Qing didn't know what they were used for.

All the disciples looked at Chen Qingxuan with eager eyes, waiting for him to teach them how to use the spirit stones.

Chen Qingxuan said: "Spirit stones are produced along with spirit veins. The high concentration of spiritual energy in the spirit veins will continuously erode the stones around them, changing their essence and turning them into a high concentration of spiritual energy condensate."

"The most important thing for a cultivator to use a spirit stone is to stimulate the spiritual energy from this condensate."

"After a long period of exploration, the immortal cultivators finally found the current method of boiling stones."

"You should each have a cauldron in your residence. When you return, place the stone-boiling powder and spirit stones in the bag in the cauldron and cook them over a high fire."

"When the spirit stone is stimulated by the power of the Boiling Stone Powder, it will expel the spiritual energy within it, changing the concentration of the spiritual energy around it."

"A low-grade spirit stone can be boiled for ten hours. If a cultivator practices beside it, his cultivation speed will be twice as fast as usual."

"A medium-grade spirit stone can be boiled for twenty hours, and the cultivation speed is three times the usual speed."

Zhou Qing thought that his spirit stone should be a mid-grade spirit stone. According to Uncle Chen, the spiritual energy contained in a mid-grade spirit stone is almost three times that of a low-grade spirit stone.

It seems that the eldest disciple is treated more than twice as well as other disciples.

Wang Xiaohu lamented, "The spiritual energy in the spirit stone is stimulated, and a lot of it will be lost instead of being absorbed by us. Isn't this a huge waste!"

Feng Yuan taunted, "Spiritual energy is a product of heaven and earth. It comes from heaven and earth and returns to heaven and earth. We are lucky enough to be able to take a little from it and make it our own property. You are too ungrateful."

Wang Xiaohu was unconvinced and said, "We cultivators steal the vitality of heaven and earth and never return it. We are thieves by nature. Since we are already thieves, of course we would rather be a big thief than a small thief. What's so strange about this?"

Although the conversation between the two was all joking, when you think about it carefully, there is some truth in it. Everyone has a new respect for these two little brothers who are always good at making jokes.

So they all joined in the discussion, joked with each other, and then said goodbye to Chen Qingxuan together and went back to their residences to practice.

The power transmission platform, which had been bustling for two months, became deserted again.

It was already noon when he returned to his residence. This was the first time in two months that Zhou Qing had returned to the courtyard at noon. In the past, he was always with his fellow junior brothers and sisters during the day. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the loneliness of being alone.

Zhou Qing shook his head in self-mockery, thinking that the loneliness of an immortal cultivator is the basic tone of his life. When his realm is elevated in the future, it may take many years for him to go into seclusion. After coming out, he will find that many people he knew have passed away. How can he live like this?
