If everyone is asked to choose a few of the most precious things in their lives, there is no doubt that life itself is one of the most precious things. This is also what makes the Stone of Eternal Life precious.
As long as it passes through the hands of an alchemist, the value of the stone of immortality can be doubled. The jadeite Zhang Tie obtained is a bare stone that has not been processed by an alchemist, but it is also expensive. When it comes to being taken away by the masters of Jinpeng Bank, , Jinpeng Bank offered a value-preserving valuation price of 1.64 million gold coins for those jadeite.
Although Jinpeng Bank really wanted to acquire these stones of eternal life, and they showed great sincerity for this, Zhang Tie did not want to sell them.
To others, these stones of eternal life are just naked gold coins, but to Zhang Tie, these stones of eternal life have another meaning.
After a group of experts from Jinpeng Bank quickly came to the area where the ruins were located, Zhang Tie had a conversation with an expert from Jinpeng Bank who came down from the ground.
…
"Of course the Stone of Immortality will not make a person immortal, but it will increase the upper limit of a person's lifespan. In fact, one of the purposes of people practicing hard and igniting their own bright spots is to increase their lifespan and make themselves live longer. Some, the life span of ordinary people is about 90 years old. By that time, their bodies will age. As long as they reach the standard of a level 9 warrior, as the body's potential is released, a person's life span can reach about 120 years old. The aging process is also delayed accordingly, and with each level up in the future, a person’s lifespan will increase accordingly!”
"How much will the lifespan of a knight-level person increase?"
"If there are no accidents, a knight-level person can live to be over 400 years old!"
"400 years old?" Zhang Tie's voice was full of surprise at that time.
"Of course, apart from the fact that knights can live longer. In the Eastern Continent, a set of top-quality stones of immortality made by master alchemists can extend a person's life span by more than 200 years, which is priceless. The lifespan of a knight who owns a set of top-quality stones of eternal life Longer. The stones of immortality you found are cut too small and trivial, and of different grades, which greatly reduces their value, otherwise they could be sold at a higher price!"
"The ultimate set of the Stone of Immortality that you mentioned. Does it have the same effect on ordinary people?"
"Of course, this is the embodiment of the value of the Stone of Eternal Life!"
“How much does it cost to buy a set like that?”
"Things of this level are rare even in the Eastern Continent and almost never appear on the market. They are all made by big families who collect materials and try their best to entrust alchemist masters to process them. They are easily invisible and cannot be bought even if you have money. arrive!"
“Can people really live forever?”
"In Chinese legends, in ancient times, humans could easily live for tens of thousands of years. People who died at eight or nine hundred years old were considered to have died young. The human body is the most precious treasure in the world!"
…
Signed a complete entrusted preservation business with Jinpeng Bank. After promising that if those Stones of Immortality were to be sold, Jinpeng Bank would have the right of first refusal under the same conditions, the people from Jinpeng Bank left with the Stones of Immortality discovered by Zhang Tie.
And Zhang Tie. But he was a little uneasy by the conversation above.
He didn't know until this moment. It turns out that if you practice to a certain level, you can greatly increase your lifespan. Moreover, the top-quality Stone of Immortality set from the master of alchemy can actually increase a person's lifespan by almost 200 years. These two pieces of information , it was indeed a shock to Zhang Tie. In the past, he only knew that cultivation can make people healthy and live longer, and that the Stone of Immortality can extend people's lifespan, but he was not very clear about what exactly it was. Unexpectedly, this time he would completely understand the mystery.
Zhang Tie knows that a cannon fodder-level person like himself, who grew up in Black Flame City and was trained as a cog in the city since he was a child, has huge limitations in his natural knowledge structure and understanding of the world, even in Qianlong. After staying on the island for a while, this limitation of mine was only slightly compensated, and no fundamental changes were made. The conversation with the master of Jinpeng Bank only confirmed this point again.
For some people, such knowledge can be exposed and learned naturally when they reach a certain age and level, which greatly expands their horizons and thinking. However, for myself, unless I have the opportunity to contact and encounter, otherwise a lot of information in this world would be closed to oneself.
The reason why Zhang Tie was not in a hurry to sell those stones of eternal life was because he thought of his cheap master Zhao Yuan. After hearing the above words, the aging faces of his parents appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. , a thought in Zhang Tie's heart could not be suppressed. No matter what the price, parents must be able to enjoy the benefits of the Stone of Eternal Life and live longer and longer. Due to various reasons, my parents did not go very far on the road of cultivation, and their lifespan was limited. This was my biggest regret. If I could make up for this regret, a little money or a little stone would be nothing.
At this time, Zhang Tie realized the power of the alchemist once again, and Zhang Tie's ambition to become an alchemist became even more determined.
Of course, if you want your parents to live a long life and want to realize your own wishes, the first step is to become stronger. Zhang Tie now finally understands why so many people are so unscrupulous in order to advance, because being strong not only brings In addition to strength, what is more important is lifespan—the ever-increasing lifespan may exceed five or six times the lifespan of ordinary people.
Zhang Tie had never imagined what it would be like to live for hundreds of years before, but now, an idea that had never appeared in his mind appeared in his mind.
Maybe, I can live to be four or five hundred years old, Zhang Tie said to himself, his heart burning. Zhang Tie felt as if a door had been opened in front of his eyes, and there was a wonderful world inside that he had never imagined. For this reason, the seemingly boring process of practicing and polishing his bright points in the past, now that he thinks about it, he also It seems to have a special meaning.
Practice, practice. Practice!
Zhang Tie suddenly became like a machine equipped with a motor and became extremely enthusiastic about cultivation. At the same time, a clear realization also appeared in Zhang Tie's heart - igniting the bright spot is the foundation of cultivation!
…
Because of the stimulation of the Stone of Immortality obtained by Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie and his team have more than 200 eyeballs glowing green.
In the next two days, the guy spent most of his time wandering around the small building buried in ruins where Zhang Tie found the Stone of Eternal Life, and began to make great efforts to clean up the ruins of the small building.
With the powerful organization and force of these people, the pioneers who originally wanted to make a fortune in Xiaolou were naturally driven away ruthlessly. At the beginning, there were still many pioneers who were somewhat resistant. However, after knowing that these people were "in the same group" as Zhang Tie, the pioneers left honestly and did not dare to disturb him again.
Two days later, after clearing out the ruins that buried the small building, those guys found a lot of things in the ruins, including dozens of intact or broken fragments of the Stone of Immortality and jewelry. , worth seventy or eighty thousand gold coins.
Everyone's morale was boosted. I deeply felt that this trip to the ruins was the right one. The money. It wouldn't be so easy for them to earn it on the ground.
In the past two days, Zhang Tieye, Sam and Gerry were wandering around the ruins. On the surface, the three people are looking for another opportunity to make a fortune, but in fact they are just doing it to hide their identity. Be familiar with the surrounding environment and terrain in order to prepare for finding the real super ruins.
However, although the three of them were just showing off, Zhang Tie's good luck seemed to have run out all of a sudden, and he no longer had such incredible luck. Although Zhang Tie sometimes participated in excavations in the past two days, there was no such thing. A decent harvest, but the things found were all junk.
The place where Sam and Gerry found the strange wrapping paper of ham sausage from before the Cataclysm. The three of them also "passed by" once in the past two days. It was in a deep place that extended infinitely into the distance. In the cave, they didn’t know where it led, and they didn’t know how deep it was. In order to avoid alerting others and letting people see the flaws, the three of them didn’t go deep inside.
It was during these two days of "wandering around" that Zhang Tie discovered that in addition to the people from the tribal alliance and the pioneers, there were also many people from other unknown forces and unknown identities in this ruins and underground. When the tribal alliance's army blocked the ruins valley, they had already entered this underground area. There were still a lot of them, and their equipment and strength were superior to ordinary pioneers and the vast majority of warriors from the tribal alliance.
Zhang Tie knows that, except for masters at the level of Xingyue Sword Master, not everyone in this world is self-aware and can restrain their greed for the Star of God. There will always be people who want to come here with the idea of luck. First hand, or the news that there is a super ruin underground here has spread through a certain channel. In addition to the tribal alliance and Jinpeng Bank, other people also know the news.
While wandering around the ruins in the past two days, Zhang Tie found more than once the corpses of killed pioneers and some people whose identities could not be identified. Some of the corpses were in a very miserable state of death, and their belongings had obviously been disturbed. This situation pours cold water on those who only want to make a fortune underground.
The situation underground was much more complicated than Zhang Tie expected. Not only did Zhang Tie not expect this situation, but also the advance team of the tribal alliance who formed a team to enter the underground did not expect that, facing the unknown danger, The advance team of the tribal alliance, which was originally scattered, has gradually begun to gather together to act together in the past few days. The wealth cake of this underground ruins exposed in front of everyone is indeed bigger than everyone imagined.
…
In the evening three days after Zhang Tie discovered the Stones of Immortality, Zhang Tie stood on the top of a 30-story building with only half of its steel and cement skeleton left among the ruins, watching the buildings below slowly dissipate. The light spots of the fluorite lamps were on his face, his expression was calm, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
The so-called evening at this time is only relative to surface time. Underground, except for darkness and a small amount of fluorescent substances and heat sources in underground rocks that can emit weak light, there is no distinction between day and night. A person's biological clock can easily Just got disrupted.
"These dog-skin plasters finally didn't catch up!" Sam, standing next to Zhang Tie, said angrily.
"Anyway, these guys also want to save face, and this building has been rummaged through by countless pioneers. There is nothing valuable at all. If they follow them, they will not find anything besides being ugly. Something!" Compared to Sam, Gerry's tone was relatively calm, "Didn't you notice, in fact, these dog-skin plasters that were still following Peter today, after finding nothing for two consecutive days, there are fewer of them compared to yesterday. A lot of people have been attracted!”
"Indeed, there seems to be a lot less today than yesterday!" Sam nodded.
Listening to these words, Zhang Tie smiled slightly, just like the gamblers in the casino who like to bet behind those lucky gamblers. Ever since he discovered the Stone of Eternal Life and made a fortune, the news came to the tribe. After word spread among the alliance's advance team, the next day, when I came out with Sam and Gerry, I was followed by a lot of tails.
In the past few days, wherever I paid a little attention, as soon as I took action or even stayed a little longer, a bunch of guys would immediately run out around me and start digging through the ruins.
After three consecutive days without any results, Zhang Tie knew that the patience of the guys below should be almost exhausted. If he is the lucky gambler and gets nothing for three consecutive days, the guys who followed him in betting will start to shift their attention. For Zhang Tie, this is a good sign.
The ones following him were just some ordinary tribal alliance warriors who were looking forward to making a fortune. Zhang Tie didn't have any bad feelings towards these warriors, but he was stared at by these guys all day long. In the past three days, Zhang Tie even looked for I didn’t even have the chance to eat fruit in the Black Iron Castle, not to mention how depressed I was.
So, three days have passed, and even though he knows that there are a bunch of fruits hanging in the Black Iron Castle and new fruits are being generated, he can only stare outside.
"I don't know why, but I feel that this search for super ruins will be very dangerous!" After careful consideration, Zhang Tie said to Gerry and Sam, "You have also seen the situation underground in the past few days. It's very complicated and dangerous. In addition to the pioneers and tribal alliances, there are also many people with unknown identities and forces who came here. Some people have died for unknown reasons. I hope you two will think about it again and return it. Do you want to insist on searching for the super ruins right away..."
Hearing what Zhang Tie said, both Sam and Gerry hesitated...
