Chapter 9 Spirit Stone
"I broke through by luck."
Zhou Changwang smiled and said.
"Mastered it?"
Old Xu asked.
Zhou Changwang nodded.
Seeing this, Old Xu said sourly: "I didn't expect that you are so talented in Gengjin Finger. It's just that you haven't broken through to the fourth level of Qi training and don't have spiritual awareness. Otherwise, none of the spiritual insects in this spiritual field can escape your finger."
"Not entirely, it's just that Gengjin Finger is a spell, it can't eliminate all spiritual insects."
Zhou Changwang shook his head.
He has been an apprentice in Lingzhitang for several years, and he has learned a lot. Naturally, he knows that there are tens of thousands of spiritual insects in the world, and some of them are so difficult that even the foundation-building true cultivators are helpless.
His Gengjin Finger is only suitable for removing spiritual insects attached to spiritual crops. If it is to plant spiritual medicine or even other more precious spiritual materials, it is far from enough.
"Changwang, look at me, Old Xu. I'm usually pretty good to you, right?" Old Xu rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a smile.
"Normally."
Zhou Changwang quickly stopped talking.
He had heard this a lot in his previous life. If he agreed, there would be countless traps waiting for him.
Some were even serial traps, which were hard to guard against.
"That..."
Old Xu's expression froze, and he laughed dryly and said to himself: "It's actually not a big deal.
Look, aren't there more and more spiritual insects in the spiritual field?
Your three acres of spiritual field are easy to take care of.
But I have ten acres of spiritual field, and there are three spiritual insects hiding in one acre, but there are thirty of them.
With my old arms and legs, how can I handle it?
So, if you have time, can you help me a little?"
"I can't help."
Zhou Changwang didn't hesitate at all.
Want to work for nothing?
This old man is just daydreaming.
"One low-grade spiritual stone."
Old Xu gritted his teeth and said with a painful look on his face.
"One day?"
Zhou Changwang looked at him with a slanting eye.
"Ten days."
Old Xu blurted out.
He had a good idea. After ten days, the spiritual rice would be almost ripe and ready for harvest, and of course there would be no need to remove insects.
"Then I won't do it."
Zhou Changwang simply shook his head.
"Three days."
Old Xu thought about it and gritted his teeth.
It was true that he had already felt the strain. Ten acres of spiritual fields, with one or two spiritual insects hiding in each acre, were enough to give him a headache, not to mention that the number of spiritual insects would increase after the fruit-bearing period.
Add to that the spiritual insects that migrated from Xu Zhong's spiritual fields from time to time... He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Instead of asking the people from the Spiritual Planting Hall to come over, spending three low-grade spiritual stones at a time, and only being able to take care of it for one day, it would be better to hand it over to Zhou Changwang, which would save him a lot of money.
"The spirit insects I killed belong to me."
Zhou Changwang said immediately.
"Okay."
Old Xu nodded and said with emotion: "Changwang, in fact, I saw that you are not an ordinary person at the beginning. Now it seems that it is just as I expected..."
"It's useless to say nice things.
The spirit stones must be given first.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you will default on the debt."
Zhou Changwang looked at him expressionlessly and said.
What do you mean by seeing that he is not an ordinary person? He didn't believe it.
Before crossing, the original body was very ordinary. The qualifications of the five elements spirit roots were considered poor among the spirit farmers, and it was not noticeable at all.
On the contrary, this old Xu, with a miserly character, was really afraid that he would finish the work and the other party would not give him the promised spirit stones.
After all, he had never seen what spirit stones looked like since he was reborn.
"Really? Can I, Xu Fugui, still rely on your spiritual stones?"
Old Xu's face flushed immediately, and he said indignantly. After hesitating for a while, he threw out a slightly crystal block and said, "It just so happens that I still have three acres of spiritual insects left to get rid of. Can you help me deal with them?"
As he said that, he smiled complacently, as if he had taken advantage of something, and quickly pointed to the three acres of spiritual fields not far away.
"No problem."
Zhou Changwang did not refuse, and he should work after getting paid.
Not to mention, he had just cleaned up the spiritual insects in his spiritual field before, but there was still some spiritual power left in his body. He wanted to kill more spiritual insects, so he naturally didn't want to waste it.
After all, this spiritual insect meat is not only delicious, but also contains spiritual energy, which can actually improve his cultivation progress.
And most importantly, the extra spiritual insects can be exchanged for spiritual stones...
Thinking of spiritual stones, he couldn't help but look at the slightly crystal block in his hand again.
"Is this the spirit stone?"
Zhou Changwang compared the shape of the spirit stone in his memory, and a sense of satisfaction suddenly arose in his heart.
Obviously, this is the spirit stone.
Low-grade spirit stone.
Some of it looks like some kind of jade, but it is more gray, rectangular, not heavy, only about 100 grams, but just holding it in his hand, he can still feel the abundant spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone.
He knew that this was a standard low-grade spiritual stone.
The standard of measurement is weight.
One hundred grams is one piece.
Two hundred grams is two pieces.
After all, spiritual stones are consumables to some extent.
Cultivators can directly absorb the spiritual energy inside the spiritual stone to practice or restore the spiritual power in their bodies.
The consumption of spiritual energy inside the spiritual stone will cause the spiritual stone body to shrink naturally and its weight will also decrease.
Therefore, the outside world calls spiritual stones less than one hundred grams broken spiritual stones. They can also be bought and sold in the market, which is equivalent to small change in reality.
Afterwards, he carefully collected this low-grade spiritual stone, and then went directly to Lao Xu's spiritual field and began to explore it carefully.
As if he was familiar with the road, he soon found the first spiritual insect.
Spirit locust.
He didn't expect that he didn't find the ferocious spiritual locust in his own spiritual field, but found one in Lao Xu's spiritual field.
But looking at its wings as thin as cicada wings, he thought it was normal.
Spirit locusts can fly after all.
Who it lands on depends on the other party's preferences.
Without hesitation, he held his breath and stood two feet away from the spirit locust. Then he circulated his spiritual power, controlled it with his mind, and condensed it into complex rune structures.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Five breaths later.
He adjusted the angle of his finger and pointed forward.
Silently, a golden light flashed.
Gengjin Finger +1
The head of the spirit locust, which was only the size of an ordinary person's thumb, was instantly smashed to pieces, but its entire body instinctively tightened at this time, and with its two front claws like sickles, it made a strong cut and directly cut a large hole in the spiritual grass stem it was attached to.
Soon, the upper half of the spiritual grass tilted slightly and fell down, as if it was about to be broken.
This is the most troublesome thing about the spiritual locust.
Even if it dies, it will instinctively swing its front claws and tear apart all obstacles in front of it.
In addition, it is also very vigilant and will jump and fly away if something goes wrong... So no matter which spiritual farmer, the spiritual insect that he least wants to see in his spiritual field is this one.
