Liu Xu came over, looked at the three pink prismatic crystals in Zhang Qing's hand, and couldn't help but say.
At this time, Liu Zhi took the unknown crystal and took a look at it. After pondering for a moment, he exclaimed: "It turns out to be a soul stone!"
Chen Yang also walked over and was surprised to find that these three crystals were the soul stones he had obtained from the corpse before.
After seeing it so many times, Chen Yang was also very curious about the use of this thing.
Under the confused gazes of the three people, Liu Zhi slowly opened his mouth and explained the information about the soul stone.
It turns out that this kind of pink crystal actually contains the soul of living beings. This crystal is formed because some naturally formed restrictions have the ability to imprison living souls. Monsters that accidentally enter such restrictions are unable to escape.
If it is lost, its soul will be absorbed by the restriction and enter some ores within the restriction.
Over time, the souls in this ore accumulate more and more, and the color turns pink. Even after the natural restrictions dissipate due to time, these soul stones can remain until they are discovered.
Hearing this, Chen Yang and others' eyes widened.
"The soul stone can actually imprison the soul. If the human soul is imprisoned, won't it mean that it will never be reincarnated?"
Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask.
Liu Zhi shook his head at this time and said: "This kind of soul stone can only imprison the souls of some monster animals, but human souls will not be imprisoned."
"How does Senior Brother Liu know?"
Chen Yang was also curious, what is the difference between human souls and animal souls? Aren't they both living beings?
Liu Zhi was not impatient and explained carefully.
He revealed a piece of information, that is, an expert in formations had once done a test to imitate the naturally formed restrictions and set up corresponding formations.
The formation expert threw living people into his formation until the people inside died. The crystals placed in the formation were still transparent, obviously not absorbing human souls.
After that, the formation expert checked his formation and found that there was no problem, so he sent some cattle and sheep in. This time the formation worked, and the souls of the cattle and sheep that died inside were successfully imprisoned in the soul stone.
Inside, the color of the soul stone also turned pink smoothly.
The formation experts later tried creatures such as monsters and beasts, and they all succeeded in artificially creating soul stones.
After confirming that there was no problem with the array, the array expert tried to place a living person into it, but in the end it was to no avail.
After that, many practitioners tried the same experiment and got the same result, so everyone concluded that the human soul cannot be imprisoned.
In this way, the use of soul stones has also been recognized by the orthodox sects.
As for the purpose of the soul stone, Liu Zhi didn't know that much.
He only knew that some special magic weapons could not be inspired by the spiritual power in the practitioner's body, and soul stones could only be used to charge the inside of the magic weapon.
This kind of magical weapon using soul stones is not common, but it is extremely powerful.
It is rumored that some practitioners in the outdoor realm can kill masters in the celestial realm by using magic tools such as soul stones. This is something that cannot be achieved by some regular magic tools that use spiritual power. Of course, the magic weapon level is another matter.
There are too few magic weapons. They are only in the hands of a few experts and cannot be used by ordinary practitioners.
Precisely because soul stones can provide energy for such powerful soul-like magic weapons, soul stones are extremely precious in the world of cultivation. Soul stones are almost rare to see in the outside world. Only in ruins can the existence of soul stones be found by chance.
.
Hearing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but get excited and said: "Finding soul stones in their storage bags, does it mean that there is a soul stone mine in the ruins here?"
