If everyone is asked to choose a few of the most precious things in their lives, there is no doubt that life itself is one of the most precious things. This is also where the stone of eternal life is precious.
As long as it passes through the hands of an alchemist, the value of the stone of immortality can be doubled. The jadeite Zhang Tie obtained was a bare stone that had not been processed by an alchemist, but it was also expensive. When it came time to actually take it away from the masters of Jinpeng Bank
, the value-preserving valuation price offered by Jinpeng Bank for those jadeite is 1.64 million gold coins.
Although Jinpeng Bank really wanted to acquire these stones of eternal life, and they showed great sincerity for this purpose, Zhang Tie did not want to sell them.
To others, these stones of eternal life are just "chiluo" bare gold coins, but to Zhang Tie, these stones of eternal life have another meaning.
After a group of experts from Jinpeng Bank quickly came to the area where the ruins were located from the ground, Zhang Tie had a conversation with an expert from Jinpeng Bank who came down from the ground.
…
"Of course the Stone of Immortality will not make a person immortal, but it will increase the upper limit of a person's lifespan. In fact, one of the purposes of people practicing hard and igniting their own bright spots is to increase their lifespan and make themselves live longer.
Some, the life span of ordinary people is about 90 years old. By that time, their bodies will age. As long as they reach the standard of a level 9 warrior, with the release of their body's potential, a person's life span can reach about 120 years old.
The aging process is also delayed accordingly, and with each level up in the future, a person’s lifespan will increase accordingly!”
"How much will the lifespan of a knight-level person increase?"
"If there are no accidents, a knight-level person can live to be over 400 years old!"
"400 years old?" Zhang Tie's voice at that time was full of surprise.
"Of course, in addition to the longevity of knights, in the Eastern Continent, a set of top-quality Stones of Immortality from the hands of master alchemists can extend a person's life span by more than 200 years, which is priceless. The lifespan of a knight who owns a set of top-grade Stones of Immortality
Longer, the stones of immortality you found are cut too small and trivial, and of different grades. This greatly reduces their value, otherwise they could be sold at a higher price!"
"Does the ultimate set of the Stone of Immortality you mentioned have the same effect on an ordinary person?"
"Of course, this is the embodiment of the value of the Stone of Eternal Life!"
“How much does it cost to buy a set like that?”
"Things of this level are rare even in the Eastern Continent. They almost never appear on the market. They are all made by big families who collect materials and try their best to entrust alchemist masters to process them. They can't be seen easily, and even if you have money, you can't buy them.
arrive!"
“Can people really live forever?”
"In Chinese legends, in ancient times, humans could easily live for tens of thousands of years. People who died at eight or nine hundred years old were considered to have died young. The human body is the most precious treasure in the world!"
…
After signing a complete trust preservation business with Jinpeng Bank and promising that if those stones of eternal life were to be sold, Jinpeng Bank would have the right of first refusal under the same conditions, the people from Jinpeng Bank took the stones of eternal life discovered by Zhang Tie.
Shi left.
Zhang Tie, on the other hand, was made a little uneasy by the conversation above.
It was only at this time that he realized that if you practice to a certain level, you can greatly increase your lifespan. Moreover, the top-quality Stone of Immortality set from the hands of the alchemist master can actually increase a person's lifespan to an incredible extent.
Adding almost 200 years to his life. These two pieces of information were indeed a shock to Zhang Tie. In the past, he only knew that cultivation can make people healthy and live longer, and that the Stone of Immortality can extend people's lifespan, but what exactly is involved, he has no idea.
Very clear. Unexpectedly, this time he completely understood the mystery.
Zhang Tie knows that a cannon fodder-level person like himself, who grew up in Black Flame City and was trained as a cog in the city since he was a child, has huge limitations in his natural knowledge structure and understanding of the world, even in Qianlong.
After staying on the island for a while, this limitation of mine was only slightly compensated, and no fundamental changes were made. The conversation with the master of Jinpeng Bank only confirmed this point again.
For some people, they can naturally come into contact with and learn this kind of knowledge when they reach a certain age and level, which greatly expands their horizons and thinking. But for me, unless I have the opportunity to come into contact with it,
and encounter, otherwise a lot of information in this world would be closed to you.
The reason why Zhang Tie was not in a hurry to sell those stones of eternal life was because he thought of his cheap master Zhao Yuan. After hearing the above words, the aging faces of his parents appeared in Zhang Tie's mind.
, a thought in Zhang Tie's heart could not be suppressed. No matter what the price, he must let his parents enjoy the benefits of the Stone of Eternal Life and live longer and longer. For various reasons, Dad
My mother has not gone too far on the road of cultivation, and her lifespan is limited. This is her biggest regret. If she can make up for this regret, a little money or a little stone is nothing.
At this time, Zhang Tie realized the power of the alchemist once again, and Zhang Tie's ambition to become an alchemist became even more determined.
Of course, if you want your parents to live a long life and want to realize your own wishes, the first step is to become stronger. Zhang Tie now finally understands why so many people are so unscrupulous in order to advance, because being strong not only brings
In addition to strength, what is more important is lifespan—the ever-increasing lifespan may exceed five or six times the lifespan of ordinary people.
Zhang Tie had never imagined what it would be like to live for hundreds of years before, but now, an idea that had never occurred before appeared in his mind.
Maybe, I can live to be four or five hundred years old, Zhang Tie said to himself, his heart burning. Zhang Tie felt as if a door had been opened in front of his eyes, and there was a wonderful world inside that he had never imagined, because of this
The reason is that in the past, the seemingly boring process of practicing and polishing the bright points seemed to have a special meaning when I think about it now.
Practice, practice, practice!
Zhang Tie was suddenly like a machine equipped with a motor, and he became extremely enthusiastic about cultivation. At the same time, a clear realization also appeared in Zhang Tie's heart - igniting the bright spot is the foundation of cultivation!
…
Because of the stimulation that Zhang Tie obtained from the Stone of Immortality, the more than 200 guys with green eyes in Zhang Tie's team gathered around the building where Zhang Tie found the Stone of Immortality in the next two days.
The small building buried under the rubble was spinning. I began to make great efforts to clean up the ruins of the small building.
Under the powerful organization and force of these people, the pioneers who originally wanted to make a fortune in Xiaolou were naturally driven away ruthlessly. At the beginning, many pioneers were somewhat resistant, but after knowing these
After people became "one with" Zhang Tie, the pioneers left obediently and did not dare to disturb him again.
Two days later, after clearing out the ruins that buried the small building, those guys found a lot of things in the ruins, including dozens of intact or broken fragments of the Stone of Immortality and jewelry.
, worth seventy or eighty thousand gold coins.
Everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and they felt that this trip to the ruins was the right time. It would not be so easy for them to earn the money on the ground.
In the past two days, Zhang Tieye, Sam and Gerry were wandering around the ruins. On the surface, the three of them were looking for another opportunity to make a fortune, but in fact they were just doing things to hide their lies.
, familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment and terrain in order to prepare for finding the real super ruins.
However, although the three of them were just showing off, Zhang Tie's good luck seemed to have run out all of a sudden, and he no longer had such heaven-defying luck. Although Zhang Tie sometimes participated in excavations in the past two days, there was no such thing.
A decent harvest, but all the things found were junk.
The place where Sam and Gerry found the strange wrapping paper of ham sausage from before the Cataclysm. The three of them also "passed by" once in the past two days. It was in a deep place that extended infinitely into the distance.
In the cave, I don’t know where the cave leads. I don’t know how deep it is. In order to avoid alerting others and letting people see the flaw, the three of them did not go deep inside.
It was during these two days of "wandering" that Zhang Tie discovered that in addition to the people from the tribal alliance and the pioneers, there were also many people from other unknown forces and unknown identities in the ruins and underground. Those people had already arrived
When the army of the tribal alliance blocked the ruins valley, they had already entered this underground area. There were still a lot of them, and their equipment and strength were superior to ordinary pioneers and the vast majority of warriors of the tribal alliance.
Zhang Tie knows that, except for the masters of the Xingyue Sword Master level, not everyone in this world is self-aware and can restrain their greed for the Star of God. There will always be people who want to come here with the idea of luck.
First hand, or the news that there is a super ruin underground here has spread through a certain channel. In addition to the tribal alliance and Jinpeng Bank, other people also know the news.
While wandering around the ruins in the past two days, Zhang Tie found more than once the corpses of killed pioneers and some people whose identities could not be identified. Some of the corpses were in a very miserable state of death, and their belongings had obviously been disturbed.
This situation pours cold water on those who only want to make a fortune underground.
The situation underground was much more complicated than Zhang Tie expected. Not only did Zhang Tie not expect such a situation, but even the advance team of the tribal alliance who formed a team to enter the underground did not expect that facing the unknown danger,
The advance team of the tribal alliance that was originally scattered has gradually begun to gather together to act together in the past few days. The wealth cake of this underground ruins exposed in front of everyone is indeed bigger than everyone imagined.
.
…
In the evening three days after Zhang Tie discovered the stones of eternal life, Zhang Tie stood on the top of a 30-story building with only half of its steel and cement skeleton left among the ruins, watching the buildings below slowly dissipate.
The light spots of the fluorite lamps were on his face, his expression was calm, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
The so-called evening at this time is only relative to surface time. Underground, except for darkness and a small amount of fluorescent substances and heat sources in underground rocks that can emit weak light, there is no distinction between day and night. A person's biological clock can easily
He was disrupted.
"These dog-skin plasters finally didn't catch up!" Sam, standing next to Zhang Tie, said angrily.
"Anyway, these guys also want to save face, and this building has been rummaged through by countless pioneers, and there is nothing valuable at all. If they follow them, apart from being ugly, they are unlikely to find anything.
Something!" Compared to Sam, Gerry's tone was relatively calm, "Didn't you notice, in fact, these dog-skin plasters that were still following Peter today, after finding nothing for two consecutive days, there are fewer of them compared to yesterday.
A lot of people were attracted!”
"Indeed, there seems to be a lot less today than yesterday!" Sam nodded.
Listening to these words, Zhang Tie smiled slightly, just like the gamblers in the casino who like to bet behind those lucky gamblers. Ever since he discovered the Stone of Eternal Life and made a fortune, the news came to the tribe.
After word spread among the alliance's advance team, the next day, when I came out with Sam and Gerry, I was followed by a lot of tails.
In the past few days, whenever I paid a little attention to any place, as soon as I took action or even stayed a little longer, a bunch of guys would immediately run out around me and start digging through the ruins.
After getting nothing for three consecutive days, Zhang Tie knew that the patience of the guys below must have been exhausted. If he was the lucky gambler, he would have gained nothing for three consecutive days, which would have already made those who followed him place bets.
The guy started to shift his gaze, which was a good sign for Zhang Tie.
The ones following him were just some ordinary tribal alliance warriors who were looking forward to making a fortune. Zhang Tie didn't have any bad feelings towards these warriors, but he was stared at by these guys all day long. In the past three days, Zhang Tie even looked for
I didn't even have the chance to eat fruit in the Black Iron Castle, not to mention how depressed I was.
Therefore, three days have passed, and even though he knows that there are already a bunch of fruits hanging in the Black Iron Castle and that new fruits are being generated, he can only stare outside.
"I don't know why, but I feel that this search for super ruins will be very dangerous!" After careful consideration, Zhang Tie said to Gerry and Sam, "You have also seen the situation underground in the past few days.
It's very complicated and dangerous. In addition to the pioneers and tribal alliances, there are also many people with unknown identities and forces who came here. Some people have died for no apparent reason. I hope you two will think about it again and return.
Do you want to insist on searching for the super ruins immediately..."
Hearing what Zhang Tie said, both Sam and Gerry hesitated...
