In fact, spiritual dissipation is only a small part of the reason. The spirituality of the stone monsters is hard to gather and disappear.
The real reason is that all the essence of the largest jade has been absorbed because of the condensed stone clothes, and it is impossible to refine the soft fragrant jade. Remove this largest piece, and the rest is small, which is refined by itself. The loss is more, so the number of nephrite will inevitably decrease.
"That's not bad. One party is five thousand dollars, and the four parties are twenty thousand." Wei Tianchong rubbed his hands and said, "Now my puppet is invincible!"
He laughed and said, he had begun to fantasize about the scene where he swept all over with the puppet.
Tang Jie said in a huff: "Do you still want to use it all? This one is five thousand! You have made a third-rank puppet in total, and half of it is too much. I keep the rest, I have another use."
Wei Tian rushed: "Why give me half a piece, or give me a whole square. The big deal is that I will count the money for you."
Tang Jie said: "It's not that I can't bear to give it to you. It's just that the soft fragrant jade is a high-grade spiritual material. The soft fragrant jade itself is soft, and too much use will only reduce the puppet’s own firmness."
"Well then." Hearing Tang Jie's words, Wei Tianchong could only agree.
Shi Meng came up and said, "Where else is I?"
Seeing his stern face, Tang Jie also smiled: "How are you doing with the secret method of turning three corpses that Luo Yue taught you?"
"That secret method is too difficult to practice, and it hurts the body, it is not effective, I don't like it."
"Also give you half, but you have to practice the Three Corpse Secret Technique, and I need you to do me a favor in a few days."
"How can I help?"
"At that time you will know."
As long as they spoke, the three of them had put away all the jade stones, and then left Xiema Lake and returned to the Ayi people.
Because of the previous reasons, the Ai people are now respectful to the Tang Jie trio, and some Ai people take the initiative to offer gifts to show their friendship. Tang Jie and the others are not polite, they don't snatch themselves, but they don't push outside if it's good. Relying on the worship, everyone made a small fortune before arriving in Shouwangchuan, and they had a lot of money.
Then everyone set off for Shouwangchuan together.
The convoy went all the way to the west, and soon after crossing Xiema Lake, we saw a small town, here is Wangchuan Town.
Passing Wangchuan Town and further ahead is Mount Lump, which is the origin of the purple gold veins.
Knot Mountain was originally a barren area, so barren that it didn't even grow trees, only the mountain was covered with soil, which gave it its name. It was not until the discovery of a purple gold vein that the Liaoshan Mountain became lively. With the arrival of a large number of miners, Wangchuan Village, which was originally an ordinary village, developed and became Wangchuan Town.
The discovery of the purple gold veins brought wealth to this land, but also brought bloodshed and fighting.
The area around the mountain was originally the land of Xiao Yuanzong, a small sect in the country of Lebanon, and it did not belong to Qijiemen. After all, although the six major factions dominate the world remotely, they can’t even let those little sects have no place to stand. In fact, they only occupy the best resource producing areas. School management, pay tribute every year.
Because of the abundant production of jealous purple gold veins, and due to the rules set by the six major factions, Qi Juemen secretly encouraged other schools to attack Xiao Yuanzong and looting wealth, which staged a series of human killings here. In the end, Xiao Yuanzong couldn't resist this huge pressure, and was forced to make a petition to Qijiemen, willing to hand over the veins to Qijiemen, and only get half of the income every year.
For this half of the income, Xiao Yuanzong has to send someone to supervise it every year. Perhaps because of this, Xiao Yuanzong is not strictly supervised, and there will be a certain amount of Zijin outflow every year.
This is also a common practice for the big faction. For many unseen things that are inconvenient for you to do, let others do it.
Such as Tian Miezong played this kind of role, otherwise how could the Moon Clerk tolerate them till now.
When the convoy came to town, it was quite busy because it was the time of the big market. However, Tang Jie and the others didn't care about it. There would not be what Tang Jie they wanted on the open market. Only the secret city could get Zijin.
But if you want to visit the secret city, you still have to fall on the caravan in the end.
When he arrived, Tang Jie had already greeted several caravan stewards of the Ayi tribe, and learned that the secret market was about to open at night. So don't worry, I just wander around the town during the day, and find a place to refine jade stone by the way.
According to Tang Jie, directly selling rough stones is actually better than refining. However, considering that he borrowed the identity of the Ayi tribe to participate in the secret market, such cheating would only bring trouble to the Ayi tribe, so it was all right after all.
Refining rough stones is not complicated. It belongs to the refining of materials in the Taoist Tao. Tang Jie spent three years at the Jintai forging platform. He did not do anything else before extracting the materials. Therefore, this rough refining was a piece of cake for him.
Two hours later, all the jade stones were refined, and dozens of soft fragrant jade pieces of varying sizes were obtained. Tang Jie estimated that it was about 4.2 square meters.
Soft fragrant jade is still white in color and looks soft, unlike jade to more like white clay, unlike other materials that need to be refined by fire, just put it together and it can be fused by itself.
This kind of thing is absorbent to jade, so it cannot be packed in a jade box, but can only be placed in a metal box. This is also its biggest shortcoming, that is, it only absorbs stones, which is why although it has a strong recovery ability, its defensive ability is relatively low, and it is only suitable for stone-based puppets.
Of course, if it is not so, its value is more than five thousand.
Wei Tianchong's puppets this time are mainly made of obsidian. Obsidian is a tougher stone than Zisha. Its hardness is comparable to that of gold and iron, but it is lighter in weight. This means stronger defense and less consumption, which means that it is less psychic than Zisha.
The result of poor psychic ability is that it is difficult to exert the power of refining formations, and at the same time it has higher requirements for the rider.
But these two shortcomings are not a problem for Tang Jie and Wei Tianchong. The former has Tang Tribulation, and the Tang Tribulation that has reached the fourth rank formation, it can be said that there is no problem in making a third rank battle puppet. The latter has the black water soul-sending technique, and Wei Tianchong has enough ability to control it.
After the refining was completed, Tang Jie took out a half and gave it to Wei Tianchong. Wei Tianchong was overjoyed. As long as he had Zijin again, this third-grade puppet would be stronger than ever.
As night fell, Tang Jiewei's secret market that Tianchong had been waiting for finally arrived.
What surprised Tang Jie and them was that the secret city was not in the town, but in a manor outside the town. This is the industry of the evil flood gang, and the entire secret market is actually secretly controlled by the evil flood gang.
Tang Jie and the others followed several stewards of the Ayi tribe to the village. It was already brightly lit. Two sturdy men stood at the entrance of the manor. Although they looked mighty, they were actually mortals.
However, behind the ordinary appearance, Tang Jie still felt the aura of fluctuating and peeping inside.
This is also normal. The secret market is a place where prohibited items are sold, and most of the prohibited items are actually related to cultivation resources. Poison|Dragon Gang can open the secret city here, if there is no cultivator, Tang Jie will absolutely not believe it.
After entering the village, Tang Jie and others discovered that there was a cave inside. The area of the manor is huge, with stalls everywhere. Those things that are not visible on weekdays are blatantly displayed at this moment, clearly marked with prices, and more people are cruising around looking for items that they like.
The Ayi people had something they wanted to buy, and the three of Tang Jie separated from them, wandering around the market by themselves, and saw a lot of new and interesting things along the way.
"Look at Tang Jie." Shi Meng pointed to a person not far away.
The cultivator had a yin and yang face, centered on the bridge of his nose, the left half of his face was indigo blue, and the right half of his face was purplish red, which looked quite oozing.
Tang Jie whispered: "Don't mean it, it's impolite. That's a casual cultivator."
In this secret city, apart from caravans, the most are scattered repairs.
Casual cultivators have no school or school, usually relying on the cultivation methods they don’t know where to get, and they will get into trouble with the slightest carelessness, and they will often leave various deficiencies if they are lucky enough to survive. There are all kinds of weirdos.
There are those who have just entered Lingquan after more than half a hundred years; there are more than a monk with a big waist and a round elephant; there are some deformities in practice that lead to a strange and terrible image; of course there are also gorgeous clothes, and the big belly is both a businessman and a monk...
Shi Meng and the others had been in the academy for four years, and they had almost no chance to deal with casual cultivators. This was the first time that they saw so many casual cultivators. Many things completely subverted their previous concepts, and they became unlucky for a while.
Wei Tian rushed to see and saw a cultivator from a distance, pointing and saying: "Look at Tang Jie, a toad is here!"
Looking along Wei Tianchong's hands, I saw a person walking from a distance. His figure was short and fat, and his face was covered with poisonous sores. He looked extremely disgusting. No wonder Wei Tianchong called a toad.
However, Wei Tianchong's voice was obviously a little louder, and the short fat man actually heard it.
At this moment, he raised his head and rushed towards Wei Tian, and shouted in a low voice: "I'm looking for death!"
Speaking with a finger, a green liquid rushed towards Wei Tian.
Wei Tianchong was about to resist, Tang Jie had pulled him and flashed to the side suddenly, the green liquid hit the ground and only heard the sound of "Bang La", it actually eroded the hard floor into pits and pits.
"Poisonous?" Wei Tianchong's expression changed.
Tang Jie already said: "This fellow Taoist, my young master just said that it was wrong. This is his fault, but it is a bit too much to poison this matter, right? For the sake of my young master's first cause of trouble, I If you don't care about it, let's just expose this matter. After all, this is the territory of the evil gang, and it's not good for anyone to fight."
The short fat man obviously also cared about the power of the evil flood gang, gave Tang Jie and Wei Tian a sharp look, and then flung his sleeves and left.
Wei Tian cursed his lips: "What is the air!"
"Shut up." Tang Jie shouted out of anger, "I just got in trouble!"
Wei Tianchong knew that he had done something wrong, so he could only mutter: "Hey, I am your young master anyway, do you have such a talk to young master?"
Tang Jie ignored him and went to the stall to find what he needed.
