Chapter 169: Lingshi
Today, Yang Tian and Mr. Chen were chatting and came into contact with another new thing - spirit stone!
Spirit stones are not all produced naturally, and can also be made manually. Ordinary jade is manually purified to make the energy inside more suitable for the absorption of cultivators. Only practitioners who have reached the foundation-building stage have the ability to purify jade into spirit stones. The speed of purification is directly related to their cultivation. An ordinary early-stage cultivator can purify three to five standard spirit stones per cubic centimeter every day, while practitioners like Mr. Chen in the early-stage pill stage can purify at least thirty standard spirit stones per day.
Spirit stones are also divided into grades, and according to their quality, they can be divided into lower-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, top-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones. The worse the quality of jade, the less energy left after purification, which corresponds to the level of jade.
As for inferior jade, it cannot be purified into spirit stones. There are too many impurities in it and it cannot be purified at all. Although inferior jade can directly absorb the energy in it, if it absorbs too much, the impurities in it will slowly block the meridians and bring obstacles to future practice.
If Yang Tian had not been reshaped by the Great Revival Pill and modified by Immortal Tianyan, according to the number of inferior jade he absorbed, it would have been filled with impurities. Although the sick beauty also needed a large amount of jade when practicing, it would not have caused such hidden dangers due to the skills. Others, at least they used low-grade jade in their daily practice, and there was no problem with it.
The main function of the spirit stone is to assist in cultivation. Since it has been purified, the energy inside is already very pure, more pure than the spiritual energy contained in the air, and is easy to absorb. Another function of the spirit stone is to act as currency and can purchase currency for the goods required for cultivation.
When the Kong family was destroyed some time ago, they obtained some spirit stones, but they were allocated to the Li family. The number was not large, because the Kong family rarely used spirit stones in practice. As long as there were enough furnaces and cauldrons, they could quickly improve their cultivation. With the destruction of the Kong family, the Kong family's martial arts were also spread, and all aristocratic families were critical of this kind of martial arts, but it is unknown whether they would practice this kind of martial arts in private!
According to Mr. Chen’s understanding during this period, the price of a elixir of Age Pill costs 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones. With so many spirit stones, even the strong people in the Killing Physical Stage will take a year to create them. Who would do a hard work such as purifying spirit stones?
Just when Yang Tian was about to exchange a batch of elixirs for some spirit stones, he didn't know that Cui Jingwen had made a lot of money during his absence. Although Cui Jingwen could not refine perfect elixirs and could only refine some semi-finished products, she suppressed the price of elixirs very low. The elixir with only half of the effect was sold at a quarter of the price. In five months, Cui Jingwen earned more than 300,000 spirit stones by selling elixirs alone, which completely stabilized her position in the Cui family.
You should know that even if the Cui family is a super family, the annual spiritual stones earned no more than 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which sounds like a lot, but the Cui family also needs to practice, buy some elixirs and other things, and then distribute some to the family's children every year, so there is only a lot left. Even if the children in the super family can get a few low-grade spiritual stones every year, it is already very good. For cultivation, it is simply a drop in the bucket. Unless they are direct children and have good cultivation talent, they can get a large supply of spirit stones.
The second young master of the Cui family is obviously of the kind of poor talent. Even if he is the son of the head of the family, it would be good to get thirty or fifty low-grade spirit stones every year.
Yang Tian also absorbed a low-grade spirit stone taken out by Mr. Chen, but the effect was minimal, and the energy inside was only about a quarter of the lower-grade jade. However, his total spiritual energy was a hundred times that of a normal foundation-building cultivator. Such a small piece of spirit stone was really useless to him. Even a cultivator in the Qi Refining Centre would not have a great effect. Unless there is a continuous supply of spirit stones, the cultivation level could be increased.
However, Chen Lai's spirit stones were limited, less than one party's number, and one party was equal to one thousand spirit stones. The spirit stones were too small, which was also for the convenience of trading. Moreover, most of his spirit stones were given to his disciples, Xiao Jin's younger brother Xiao Wu, a boy who was only twelve years old.
Yang Tian has also met Xiao Wu several times. He has already cultivated his energy at a young age. He is a genius. No wonder Mr. Chen wants to accept him as his disciple. Yang Tian is not stingy and also gave Xiao Wu some elixirs that are very useful in laying the foundation.
Yang Tian needs spirit stones now, and it is a large number of spirit stones. Not only does he need to use them himself, but his women also need to use them, Cheng Shaoqiu and others. Especially Cheng Shaoqiu and others have always relied on jade to assist in their cultivation. There is no problem now, but it will be very difficult to break through. Cheng Shaoqiu has now stepped into the threshold of the foundation-building stage with one foot, but he has been unable to break through for a long time because the spiritual energy in his body is too complicated. If Yang Tian had not refined some pills for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence for everyone, these people who absorb jade energy may have become obsessed with it now, dead, and useless!
It is not difficult for Yang Tian to obtain the spirit stone because he has a large number of elixirs. In the few months on the deserted island, he has refined thousands of various elixirs. If it were not for the limitations of the materials, he could refine more.
However, it is difficult to find a buyer with such a large number of elixirs. Mr. Chen has not come out for decades and does not know much about this. His friend Mr. Feng is also a person who lives in seclusion and does not care about the world.
Even if he finds a place for selling pills, he dare not take out too many of these pills. A big pill can cause a bloody storm, not to mention that there are more than twenty big pills in his storage ring! Occasionally, he can be said to be passed down by his ancestors or obtained in adventures. If he takes out too many pills, no one can guarantee whether any aristocratic family will come to him again.
If you only sell elixirs in a small amount, you will not get too many spiritual stones. A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can consume more than a dozen low-grade spiritual stones every day, while an ordinary early foundation building can consume hundreds of them every day. In the special early foundation building stage like Yang Tian, even thousands of spiritual stones a day are not enough for him to absorb. If you want to practice quickly, the number of spiritual stones required is too large, so he wants to find a stable source of spirit stones.
Yang Tian learned how to purify spirit stones from Mr. Chen. There are many other high-level jades in his hand, which can be purified into spirit stones.
Yang Tian succeeded in his first experiment. The subsequent refining process was much faster than that of ordinary early-stage practitioners in foundation building, but it took an hour to extract one piece. Even if the little fairy and the sick beauty came to help, it took three days to extract 0 spirit stones, and more than half of them were Mr. Chen’s credit.
Of course, Yang Tian would not refine the lower-grade spirit stones. What he extracted was 0 top-grade spirit stones. If converted into lower-grade spirit stones, it would be equivalent to tens of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones.
Even Mr. Chen’s cultivation level cannot be used to cultivate the energy in the top-grade spirit stone, because the energy inside is too pure and cannot reach a certain physique. If it is forced to absorb it, it will cause harm to the body.
If Yang Tian had refined all his top-quality jade into top-quality spirit stones, he could now extract at least ten thousand top-quality spirit stones. Originally, he did not have so many top-quality jades. These are all the credits of the jade essence. The jade essence can slowly change the quality of the jade that is closer to it. The closer it is, the faster it will change.
Since Yang Tian obtained the jade essence, he put some top-grade jade and jade essence together, and these top-grade jades have gradually become top-grade jade.
