Chapter 82: The Core of the Star Artifact
The boat was very interested. Since they were traveling on the lake, they naturally had to eat the lake food they caught with their own hands. Is this interesting?
Of course, the fish that these children caught for lunch is probably only enough for Tie Baihu to eat alone.
After fishing, the children entered the cabin and waited for the servants to prepare meals and started chatting. However, after talking, they talked about the treasure conference that would be held in ten days.
This time, Jingnan Chamber of Commerce has made every effort to do this grand event beautifully to clear away its infamous reputation.
Since it is called the Treasure Conference, they have really brought out 101 "treasures".
The first day of the three-day ring competition is considered a cushion competition. The prizes are ninety-ninety-one wonderful practice items, such as the three-piece, one box of Dingshen incense that young people often use, five-piece per bottle of Yuanqi Pill, a complete set of talisman utensils, and so on.
Although you don’t seem surprising to see the objects, each of them costs three or four square Yuan stones. This number is nothing to Li Zisheng now, but three months ago, the most important Dingshen incense for him was not used by a young man.
The next day, it was considered to be a level of rank. The contestants competed for 446 low-level magical instruments, each of which was worth at least ten square Yuan stones.
The prizes in the past two days will add up to more than 500 square Yuan stones, but... this is not over yet!
The highlight is the third and last day of the competition. Only the final four prizes can be called real treasures, especially the ones that are rewarded to the final winner are...
"Star core?! What kind of treasure is this? What kind of power does it have?" Li Zi has been in Tieshan City for more than two months and has never heard of this thing, so he asked, who was always curious and full of enthusiasm.
Xiao Jiaqi said in surprise: "Lei Gong, you don't even know the star core? Hi, no wonder they said you are a village..."
"President!" Tie Baiqiang, who is now quite "loyal" to Li Zisheng, immediately came out and interrupted Master Xiao, who had never been avoided. "This star core is a rare object, and it is rare to see it!"
He talked endlessly to his creditor, superior and God of Wealth. Li Zisheng, combined with the history of Zhongzhou he had mastered, finally figured out the ins and outs of this star core.
According to legend, the black iron star that hit Jingnan and produced the Falling Star Lake was not a natural thing, but a magical artifact of the ancient god!
However, the owner of this artifact was not sure whether he fell or disappeared in the God War. In short, no one could preside over this artifact after the God War, and it was just hanging above the Nine Heavens.
These nine heavens do not refer to the height of this heaven, but there are really nine layers in the sky above the nine continents. But not to mention human cultivators and demon gods, even ancient gods have few powerful powers who can freely enter and exit the nine-level sky. That's because there is a strong gale in these nine-level sky, and the higher one is much more powerful than the lower one.
Therefore, this battle ended in the Battle of Heaven.
As mentioned in the previous document, both sides who fought at the beginning of the Battle of Qingtian were still worried. After all, humans were once part of the demon clan, so do everyone feel a little bit incense?
What's more, not all human monks are against demon gods. Similarly, not all demon gods are unwilling to give humans a higher or even equal status with them.
A group of demon gods with mild personalities and disgusted with war left Zhongzhou, Chixian. They walked from west to east and northeast, preparing to find ways to cross the whirlpool in the East Sea to Shenxin Yangzhou in the east and Boyin Xianzhou in the northeast.
In addition to not wanting to fight with humans, they also seek the remains left by the legendary ancient gods of the two continents.
The group of demon gods who went to Shenxin Yangzhou had no reply and disappeared into the long river of history. And the group of demon gods who went to Boyin Xianzhou actually came back and brought back a piece of news that shocked the gods and people. They really found the ancient immortal mountain in the vast sea!
However, this news did not end the war between gods and men.
After three hundred years of long war, the hatred between the demon gods and humans has become deeper and deeper, and the pro-war factions on both sides have gained an absolute advantage. In the end, all the participants are red-eyed and all the means they can use are used.
What rivers rolled down thousands of miles of marinas, what moved mountains and seas and mountains collapsed, what was the north and the seas and the south and the south, which made the heaven and earth change color, and the sun and the moon were gone, which made the Zhongzhou of Chixian at that time ruined.
Especially the demon gods who are increasingly unfavorable in the war, they are not very rational and intelligent creatures. In despair, they even adopted suicide "terrorism" tactics.
In order to break the mountain protection formation in Jingnan to protect the human cultivator Cave Immortal Palace, one of the demon gods, who was no longer clear, used some methods to pull this star from the nine heavens.
Since this star is a magical artifact made by the ancient gods, it is not as solid as it naturally formed. The black iron scattered near the Tieshan City is actually just its shell, and the harder core inside is deeply penetrated into the ground.
However, with such a huge impact force, this core cannot be intact. This star core is a treasure that fell from it.
There are not one star core, but five.
There has always been a saying in Jingnan that as long as you can gather five star cores and then find a way to enter the star core at the bottom of the Falling Star Lake, you can control this star-falling artifact and let it see the light of the sky again!
The problem is that it is easy to implement the former, but it is too difficult to implement the latter.
The core of the artifact is not just buried underground, there is still a lake water dozens of feet deep. Who is full and drained the Desolate Star Lake and then dug the bottom of the lake for a illusory legend, just to find an ancient artifact that is only possible to control, or a dilapidated artifact that can be used?
This Falling Star Lake is not Yunmengze. Although the area of the former is much smaller than that of the latter, the amount of water in it is far higher than that of the latter.
Yunmengze is named after the marsh. It can be imagined that it is mainly swamps, and most people can wade forward in the shallowest places. The Flying Star Lake is a very typical lake formed by a crater, like a bowl, with a depth of one hundred feet in the center.
Therefore, the lake where the young man lives cannot be drained by a formation by refining gods and immortals.
Li Zisheng asked in confusion: "Since that's the case, what's the use of this star core?"
Master Xiao said from the side: "This star core is of great use, that's too big! But... it's actually useless."
"Yes, my father said that too." The person who spoke was Liu Wuxia who had been listening quietly. "This star core can make people sense the stars in the sky. These five star cores correspond to the five main stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. But now the Zhoutian Star Taoist Dharma has become a terrifying sound, and even if you can sense it, you can't practice it."
Tie Baiqiang took the two of them to speak, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. At this time, he nodded and said, "Junior Sister Liu is right, but..."
Then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There is a secret hidden in this star core, which I just heard from the elders in my family!"
Xiao Jiaqi snorted beside him and said, "What's the secret? Isn't it the treasure house that falls into Baoqiu 1?"
Tie Baiqiang smiled embarrassedly and said, "It turns out that Young Master Chou also knows it. It's the Luobao Cliff Treasure House that only opened once every fifty. Next year is the seventh time it opens!"
Li Zisheng asked curiously: "Lubao Cliff? Treasure House? I have heard of it before, but the details are not clear. Senior 100, tell me."
Tie Baiqiang cleared his throat and began to tell the boy again.
It turned out that when the star artifact hit the ground, many objects and fragments were shaken out from it. These things were scattered in various parts of Jingnan. After the Tianxia Immortal Sect enfeoffed all over the place, the sects assigned to Jingnan naturally had the moon first near the water tower.
In fact, even the farmers in Li Zisheng's hometown farming sometimes dig out one or two pieces of black iron from the ground.
Of course, the people who obtained the real treasure must treasure it and keep it secretly. So no one knows how many ancient divine objects like star cores are located among the sects in Jingnan.
But no one could find a way to take it into his pocket, which was thousands of miles south of the boy's hometown, to put it in his pocket.
Because that "fragment" is too big, at least the mountain called the Falling Star Lake is actually ten times the size of a mountain that is covered with mountain.
Moreover, its impact point was at the hillside of a truly thousand feet high. It suddenly knocked the mountain into two pieces, and the collapsed upper part buried the fragments below.
This cliff was named Luobao Cliff.
Later, a good god-refining immortal near Luobao Cliff heard about this and summoned his subordinates to dig it out with a few friends with friends.
They spent a lot of effort and time to reconcile, and only dug out a corner. However, even if the god-refining immortal takes action, these treasure hunters can't open the outer wall of the artifact fragments even if they try their best.
Their movements are so natural that they can't hide them from others. In the end, this news has spread all over Jingnan. Other local sects are not polite. Treasures in the world have "virtues". Since you can't open them, I can always try it.
Even if you open it...you can't eat meat, but we can't drink soup?
In this way, three hundred years ago, the large and small immortal gates in Jingnan gathered in Bao Cliff, which became a grand event, known in history as the Lost Treasure Conference.
There is no coincidence in the world, and with the first coincidence, there will naturally be the second coincidence. Among so many immortal masters and cultivators, five people carry these five star cores with them.
When they happened to appear before the artifact at the same time, the five star cores automatically sensed and shone brightly. Before the five lucky guys could figure out the situation with the people around them, the five people were teleported into the interior of the artifact fragments.
Not long after, in just one meal, these five cultivators with star cores were teleported out at the same time. Each of them also gained something and got some strange items.
When they saw a large group of fellow practitioners with red eyes outside, they were scared first and "dedicated" those items to the seniors with the highest cultivation level on the spot.
These five guys have low cultivation. What is rare is that their brains are fast and their greed is not deep. They do not suffer misfortune because of blessings.
After they sent it, they gathered together for a small meeting, and simply decided to build a house outside the Luobao Cliff. They also invited a few friends and fellow disciples to "protect the Dharma" for them. In fact, they only had more courage.
The five people also announced in public that as long as they got the "treasures" inside, they would never treasure them, but would take them out for auction. Since they were so well-educated, the immortal masters and cultivators present could only wipe their saliva and applaud.
Then... they waited fifty years next to the cliff, and three of them were waiting to die alive, but fortunately they still have descendants.
In the past fifty years, everyone has also discovered a problem, that is, the things that the five of them brought out last time are useless except for the special material and unique shape. To be precise, no one understands how these objects are used.
These five star cores have become useless!
However, the use of a useless ribs is also a useless ribs, that is, the treasure hunt once every fifty years will become an auction. The organizer of the auction is the holder of these five star cores, and all the benefits are evenly divided by these five people or five forces.
Chapter completed!
