After visiting more than a dozen stalls specializing in jade slips, Lin Feng found nothing. But at an inconspicuous small grocery stall, Lin Feng was attracted by one of the items. There were quite a few items on the grocery stall, but they were all very interesting.
It was small and disorganized, but Lin Feng still saw the item at a glance.
It was a bamboo slip, and the top was very worn. The reason why Lin Feng saw it at a glance was because it was the largest item on the grocery stall. It was more than a foot long and about two inches wide.
, it looks like a wooden board from a distance.
Lin Feng curiously wanted to pick up the bamboo slip, but the stall owner reached out in time to stop him. Lin Feng looked at the stall owner doubtfully: "Isn't this bamboo slip for sale?"
The stall owner seemed to be a very shrewd and skinny old man. He looked at Lin Feng and said: "Since it is displayed, of course it is for sale! However, bamboo slips are not as good as jade slips. They are not very wear-resistant. If you are not careful,
It will be damaged. If you sincerely want to buy it, let’s talk about the price first.”
Lin Feng had no choice but to stretch his hand back, secretly thinking that this old man was too stingy, thinking that Lin Feng was the kind of owner who just didn't want to buy it, because once the bamboo slips were in Lin Feng's hands, even if he could remember a little bit, the stall owner would not pay him if he really didn't.
Method.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Other people usually use jade slips to record things. If you use bamboo slips to record things, isn't it easy to damage?"
The stall owner said: "Hey, there are some things that are difficult to describe accurately using jade slips, so we use bamboo slips!"
Lin Feng was stunned: "What can't be expressed on jade slips, can it be expressed on bamboo slips? I have never heard of this."
The stall owner smiled: "You are still young and your knowledge of the world of cultivation still needs to be improved. I will tell you today that some things must be recorded with bamboo slips instead of jade slips."
Lin Feng simply sat down and said, "I am all ears."
The stall owner continued: "Most things can indeed be recorded on jade slips, but there is one thing that cannot be recorded. This thing is spiritual breath!"
Lin Feng became even more confused: "Spiritual breath? What does this mean?"
The stall owner shook his head: "It seems that you need to learn a lot, and you don't even know about spiritual breath. Spiritual breath is the unique breath of a certain material itself, which is the fundamental sign that it is different from other materials!
Jade slips can only record static text or dynamic images, and even sounds and colors can be displayed, but they are powerless against spiritual information."
Lin Feng: "You said it, I kind of understand it, but recording the spirit breath seems to be of no use? The color and shape are not enough to tell which material it is?"
The stall owner lowered his head and smiled: "What if there are some materials you have never seen before? Especially some spiritual herbs, or the essence and blood of monsters, skin and bones, etc., the colors or shapes are different in different growth stages and storage environments.
subject to change,
There are thousands of materials in the world of cultivation, and if the shape or color changes slightly, it may be confused with other materials, but its inner spiritual energy is permanent and cannot be changed!"
Lin Feng suddenly realized at this time: "It makes sense! Then using bamboo slips, you can record the spiritual information that cannot be recorded on jade slips? But why doesn't the world of cultivation use bamboo slips to record things? All the jade slips we use are jade slips?"
The stall owner still said patiently: "Not all bamboo slips can record spiritual breath. Only Bailing bamboo growing beside the spiritual spring can have this effect.
Spiritual springs are generally underground, so it is very difficult to find them, but there are many Bailing bamboos. No one knows which Bailing bamboo has a spiritual spring hidden near it. In addition, Bailing bamboos themselves grow very slowly, and hundreds of them must be grown.
Only those aged 10 and above can make bamboo slips.
Moreover, only the roots that are more than a foot long can be used, and the remaining parts can only be discarded. Because Bailing bamboo has no other major uses except for making bamboo slips, bamboo slips cannot be as popular in the world of cultivation like jade slips, but
The capacity of bamboo slips is much larger than that of jade slips."
Lin Feng nodded: "Oh, what is recorded in this bamboo slip of yours?"
The stall owner became more energetic: "Haha, what is recorded here is simply all-encompassing! It not only contains common knowledge about various common materials, but also records the properties and functions of a large number of remote and rare spiritual herbs, spiritual minerals, monster beasts and other materials.
, a monk like you who lacks knowledge of cultivation materials will be much more convenient in the future with this bamboo slip in hand!"
Lin Feng was overjoyed and thought to himself, wasn't he just looking for such a jade slip? Now that it is in front of him, of course he can't miss it easily. So he immediately asked: "How do you plan to sell it?"
The stall owner became more interested: "I won't hide it from you. Bamboo slips are generally rare in the world of cultivation. It doesn't mean that it is rare or precious, but most monks think that it is not as durable as jade slips, and ordinary cultivation
Material,
Basically, it can be identified from the appearance and color, and there is no need to identify the spiritual breath in most cases. However, my bamboo slip contains a lot of information, some of which may not even be recognized by the great monks in the Nascent Soul Stage.
.
Therefore, since a long time ago, I have been selling this bamboo slip at many markets and fairs for 300 spiritual stones, but no monk is willing to buy it."
Lin Feng was also a little surprised: "300 spirit stones, isn't that too expensive? Some mid-to-high-end auxiliary skills only sell for 200 spirit stones at most, and your bamboo slips only introduce some materials. No wonder no one knows about it.
Buy it."
The stall owner looked stubborn: "There is always someone who knows the goods, and this jade slip of mine is said to be accidentally obtained by a master in the Nascent Soul stage from an ancient ruins. It is probably from someone in ancient times."
A great monk casually recorded it in his spare time, because it also contains some travel notes and the ancient monk’s personal experiences.”
It's not that Lin Feng can't get the 300 spirit stones, but he has taken over the property of several monks. Whether it's Yu Tao or the four great beasts, they are all very rich.
Moreover, there are also the storage bags of several low-level monks such as Sun Liang, which were all taken by Lin Feng as his own. It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Feng’s current belongings are relatively rich among the foundation-building monks.
of!
However, spending 300 spirit stones to buy a bamboo slip introducing materials is indeed a bit too expensive. This was something that Lin Feng would not have dared to think about in the previous Lin family. The Lin family was short of spiritual stones, and the number of people in the family
The number of spiritual stones that disciples in the Xuanzhao period receive every year is only a few!
