Fairy cage

Lingshi, the crystallization of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, contains abundant spiritual energy!

And spiritual energy is something that Taoists rely on for cultivation and breathing. It can even be said that everything in cultivation and seeking the Tao is based on spiritual energy.

Yu Lie was quite excited as he held the two spiritual stones given by the big-headed doll.

It's no wonder that he is not excited. In fact, this kind of thing is a rarity for him now, or for all Taoist boys.

Because the Taoist boys at the ninth level are not qualified to buy spiritual stones at all.

Only from the eighth-grade Taoist disciples can Taoists use spiritual stones for daily cultivation, and these are only miscellaneous spiritual stones. Even more powerful low-grade spiritual stones, and only seventh-grade Taoist officials are qualified to purchase them.

What Taoist boys rely on for their cultivation is either the thin spiritual energy that naturally escapes between heaven and earth, or just the wisps of spiritual energy in the body of the black snake fish.

The former is the only source of spiritual energy for 90% of Taoist boys. Although the latter cannot compare with the rarity of spiritual stones, it is still a rarity for Taoist boys, and it is difficult to eat half of it all year round.

Otherwise, Yu Lie would not be able to quickly save 10,000 yuan just by selling black snake fish.

In the greenhouse, Yu Lie thanked him again and again before leaving.

He walked slowly down the aisle, thinking to himself:

"I heard that in the Middle Ages, Taoists at that time called themselves monks, and their daily currency was spiritual stones. There was no talisman currency. It is really unimaginable and enviable!"

Yu Lie knew that this was not only because the Daoting Immortal Court had not yet been established, but also because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at that time was still strong, and there was a large amount of spiritual stone minerals left in the earth veins. There were enough spiritual stones, and it was completely possible to use spiritual stones. as currency.

At first, things like talisman money were just products like talisman paper. They contained spells and could be used when stimulated. They were a substitute product after the spiritual energy in the mountain and sea world began to decline and the spiritual stones began to dry up.

In recent times, talisman money has developed into an existence that can store mana and spiritual energy. It can be used as currency instead of spiritual stones, and can also assist in alchemy and weapon refining. It's just that it is a product of the day after tomorrow. After all, it is not as good as the natural crystallization of spiritual stones from heaven and earth. It is only more convenient and simple and can be prepared in large quantities.

As for Yu Lie's current situation, the Taoist court has been established to conserve the heaven and earth, the spiritual energy has been restored, and mining outside the territory can be carried out, and the talisman money has been completely weakened again.

It became just made of precious mortal metal, mixed with Tao Ting's dragon energy, and secret methods. It had no cultivation function and was only used as a pure currency. It was fully supported by the Tao Ting's credit and Yu Lie's previous life. Paper money is already the same.

As for spiritual stones, although they have begun to appear in the cultivation life of Taoists, they are no longer mainly used as currency, but are similar to coal, oil, electricity and other goods in Yu Lie's previous life, and their prices are not fixed. Very volatile.

In the aisle, Yu Lie was thinking about it, and he sighed softly:

"In today's world of mountains and seas, Taoists have to break any ray of spiritual energy in half to use it, and Taoism has been changed for it... If I was born in that era and did not seek the ancient times, but only the middle ages, what would have happened? good!"

This delusion is not the delusion of Yu Lie alone, but the delusion of all Taoists in the Shanhai Realm!

But rational people also know that if they were really born when their spiritual energy was rich and the Taoist court had not yet been established, they would most likely not even be qualified to embark on the Taoist path.

Among them, the rational and brave ones take it as their own duty to restore the world of mountains and seas to their original appearance, striving to achieve enlightenment for one person and ascend to heaven!

Yu Lie didn't have such great ambitions yet. He just clenched the two spirit stones in his sleeves, feeling very happy in his heart.

The gift of treasure from the big-headed doll of the Wa family made Yu Lie immediately feel that the other party was worthy of being a wealthy family. He would get spiritual stones as soon as he offered them, and he didn't even bother to give them talisman money. It was really great!

Especially the spirit stone, which happens to be the key medicine for Yu Lie to complete the transformation into "copper tendons and iron bones", and one of them is indispensable!

Because the spirit stone is the crystallization of heaven and earth, in addition to simply absorbing spiritual energy, it is also a raw material for medicine, and can be directly used for elixir refining, weapon refining, breeding, and animal breeding.

Although the two spiritual stones in Yu Lie's hands are just miscellaneous, with the five elements of spiritual energy inside being mixed and have no special characteristics, they are minerals themselves and are as stone-like as jade.

Yu Lie can grind and cut it and take it, supplemented by lead, mercury, copper juice, molten iron, etc., so that the physical body can completely evolve into the level of copper tendons and iron bones.

Of course, the internal organs of the Taoist boys are still fragile and they must not be taken orally. Only Taoist disciples who have completed the transformation of "swallowing gold and wearing jade" and have been promoted to the eighth level can directly take spiritual stones orally without causing intestinal perforation. Belly rotten.

If Yu Lie wanted to complete the transformation of "copper tendons and iron bones", he had to use external application and soaking methods. First, he made the spiritual stone into an ointment and applied it all over his body. Then he steamed and sun-dried it three times to absorb the medicinal power from the outside in.

As for this step, Yu Lie originally thought that he would have to wait a few more months, save up money and try his luck in the black market before he could meet someone selling spiritual stones.

Or maybe you have to wait until the end of the year to go to the Daolu Courtyard to receive the spirit stones before you can officially start your transformation.

This is because although Taoist boys are not qualified to purchase spiritual stones through government channels, Taoist boys in Blackwater Town have another opportunity besides the black market.

That is the Taoist boys who landed in Heishui Town. In the first three years, they actually received a ray of spiritual energy as a subsidy every month. This ray of spiritual energy will be sealed in a special talisman, which can be digested and absorbed by the Taoist boy.

It's just that a patient Taoist boy like Yu Lie will not use it every month, but will accumulate it.

After one year, the Taoist boy can directly exchange it for a miscellaneous spiritual stone.

A complete spiritual stone contains not only more than twelve strands of spiritual energy, but it is also very useful. It can also be used in the transformation of "copper tendons and iron bones".

Yu Lie had secretly thought about it. He thought that such an arrangement was not only a reward for the Taoist boys' patience, but also intended to provide the necessary medicine for transformation.

Otherwise, it would be a joke for the Taoist boys in Blackwater Town to be promoted to Taoist disciples within three years, and no one would be willing to come to such a place.

But well, Yu Lie no longer needs to think about it so much. He met a wealthy family, and the other party gave him two coins at once, which was enough for him to use, and he was even richer with one!

This made Yu Lie feel quite emotional, and he secretly wrote down the kindness of the big-headed doll and the old servant of the Wa family.

At the same time, the opponent's attack was so heroic, and it hit him right in the heart, which also made Yu Lie wonder whether the big-headed doll was really as childish and ignorant as it seemed...

"And that old servant, if what he said is true, then he is probably not just a Taoist disciple, but a Taoist official, or even a Taoist priest..."

Yu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly and thought.

Suddenly, he immediately raised his head and squinted at a figure in front of him.

An old lady with a bright smile and a wrinkled face was waiting at the entrance of the aisle. The other party saw Yu Lie looking towards her and hurriedly greeted her:

"Guest Yu, you have to leave. I will take you downstairs!"

Yu Lie suppressed his thoughts, put the spirit stone in his pocket, and tried his best to wrap it with his hands to prevent the other party from noticing. There was no abnormality on his face, and he nodded.

The old lady of the casino said attentively: "Please come this way! You look so happy, have you met something good?"

While the other party was sending Yu Lie off, he also secretly questioned him.

Yu Lie pretended not to realize it and said a little proudly:

"Nothing, nothing! It's just that the guest gave me some reward money, and said that after I pass the eighth-level Taoist apprenticeship, I will go directly to the city to find them, and I can become a Qingke disciple."

As soon as Yu Lie said these words, Lao Dan's face suddenly changed slightly, and the smile on the other party's face became even bigger: "Hey! I don't know which family in the city the distinguished guest is from, but does Yu Guest Officer's ancestor have friendship with the distinguished guest? "

Faced with these questions from Lao Dan, Yu Lie looked at the other party and just smiled without saying a word.

Just because of this conversation, Lao Dan not only sent Yu Lie downstairs, but also sent him to the door himself.

This made the guys at the bank see it, and they all tried to take a look at Yu Lie's face, and quickly remembered Yu Lie's face in their hearts.

At the end of the day, Yu Lie handed over his hands and wanted to say goodbye.

The old man's face suddenly showed a look of hesitation. He took half a step closer, covered his mouth, and whispered to Yu Lie: "Brother Yu, I'm sorry, so I'm going to call you brother. Originally, the identity of the guest of the gambling house is unknown. It’s confidential, but today… I really offended you, little brother, so I’ll give you a breather.”

Hearing this, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shopkeeper, please tell me."

Lao Dan's voice was even lower: "Your venomous boss, the one named Du, came with my incompetent subordinate today. Before he started gambling, he placed a heavy bet on the high-profit winning streak. Two games…”

When Yu Lie heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened.

However, he pondered for a moment, then smiled and held his hands towards the gambling house old lady, indicating that he heard:

"Understood, thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

When Lao Dan saw Yu Lie thanking him, he smiled from ear to ear again: "What, what's the point?"

The two of them were chatting again...
