He suddenly thought of a question, would there be any high-quality spiritual stones on the deserted island? One high-quality spiritual stone was equivalent to his salary for hundreds of years. If there were ten high-quality spiritual stones, Grandpa Han Daohe would not have to travel around at such an old age.
He now wished he could rush to the deserted island and continue searching for top-grade spirit stones.
After a while, Han Changming calmed down. Top-grade spirit stones are not cabbages and cannot be found everywhere. Top-grade spirit stones can only be found in a medium-sized spirit stone mine. It is impossible for a small or micro spirit stone mine to produce top-grade spirit stones.
The Han family had already searched the surrounding islands several times. If there was a medium-sized spirit stone mine on the deserted island, it would have been discovered by the Han family long ago.
In addition, the size of this top-grade spirit stone is the same as the spirit stones circulating on the market. It has obviously been cut. You know, spirit stone ore must be processed and cut into a certain size before it can be circulated on the market.
In other words, this top-grade spirit stone was washed onto a deserted island by the waves, and a python swallowed the top-grade spirit stone and slowly evolved into a monster.
Han Changming thought about it carefully and shook his head again. This reason didn't make sense! Wild beasts don't inhale and exhale spiritual energy. Even if they swallow the top-grade spiritual stones, they won't absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones! How could it advance to a demon beast
There are no spiritual veins or spiritual objects on the deserted island. How can an ordinary python advance into a demon beast
It seems that the problem still lies with this top-grade spirit stone!
Han Changming suddenly thought of a possibility, to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone.
After a while, his expression became very excited.
"It can't be a Spirit Gathering Stone! Ten thousand high-quality Spirit Stones are not as good as one Spirit Gathering Stone."
He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his excitement, and put the green spirit stone aside.
After a quarter of an hour, he picked up the green spirit stone and carefully examined it.
"Yes, it is really a spirit-gathering stone. No wonder the python evolved into a demon beast."
The Spirit Gathering Stone is an extremely special spirit stone in the world of immortal cultivation. The Spirit Gathering Stone can continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store it. The stored spiritual energy is equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone and can be used to replenish mana. After the spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Stone is exhausted, it will continue to absorb spiritual energy and store it, and can be reused. Unlike ordinary spirit stones, once the spiritual energy is exhausted, it will be scrapped.
Owning a spirit gathering stone is equivalent to owning an inexhaustible high-quality spirit stone. Although the spirit gathering stone absorbs spiritual energy very slowly, it is still a treasure that cultivators dream of. However, the greatest use of the spirit gathering stone is to set up formations.
Han Changming guessed that the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering stone was exhausted and it was thrown into the sea. The sea water rolled the spirit gathering stone to the deserted island, and the python accidentally swallowed the spirit gathering stone. The spirit gathering stone slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After being nourished by the spiritual energy for a long time, the python's body slowly evolved into a monster.
"With this Spirit Gathering Stone, I don't have to spend a lot of time meditating to recover my mana."
This spirit-gathering stone contains the five elements of spiritual energy. It is not suitable for cultivation, but it is suitable for restoring magic power.
Normally, Han Changming would have to spend two hours meditating to recover his magic power for every hour he spent refining talismans. With this spirit gathering stone, he would not have to spend a lot of time recovering his magic power in the future.
It just so happened that Grandpa Han Daohe sent over a hundred dozen first-grade blank talisman papers and two boxes of cinnabar, so Han Changming could freely refine talismans.
The Soul Gathering Stone is too valuable. Even if he is innocent, he will be guilty of possessing the treasure. He will not reveal the existence of the Soul Gathering Stone to anyone, not even his grandfather.
Everyone has their own secrets, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he did.
He put away the spirit-gathering stone, sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, and meditated to regulate his breathing.
After half a quarter of an hour, he adjusted to the best state. He came to the wooden table, took out the talisman paper, talisman pen and cinnabar, and refined the water shield talisman. One by one, blue runes appeared on the talisman paper...
Two months passed quickly.
Han Changming sat at the wooden table, concentrating on looking at a piece of blue talisman paper in front of him.
There were eighteen blue runes on the talisman paper, forming a water drop pattern. The spiritual light flowed unsteadily, and the spiritual energy was stable. It was obviously a water shield talisman.
Han Changming let out a sigh of relief and looked happy.
With the Spirit Gathering Stone in hand, the number of talismans he refines every day has more than doubled. Coupled with the large supply of blank talisman paper, his talisman-making skills have improved rapidly.
The success rate of the Water Shield Talisman has increased from less than 10% to 20%. When the success rate of the Water Shield Talisman reaches 30%, he will be a first-grade lower-grade talisman maker.
The Spirit Gathering Stone absorbs spiritual energy at a relatively slow speed. As long as Han Changming doesn't say anything, no one will know that he has a Spirit Gathering Stone in his hand.
Han Changming put away his talisman-making tools and walked out.
When we got outside, a middle-aged man in his thirties was walking back and forth on the cobblestone path, holding an ancient scroll in his hand.
The middle-aged man had delicate features, red lips and white teeth, and was dressed like a scholar.
He was Han Changming’s eighteenth uncle, Han Deyun.
The martial arts he practiced was a relatively rare Confucian martial arts method, which required reciting a large number of Confucian classics in order to cultivate a sense of righteousness. The stronger the sense of righteousness, the faster he could practice the Confucian martial arts method.
"Congratulations to Uncle Eighteen for advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining." Han Changming showed joy on his face and congratulated Han Deyun.
Han Deyun secluded himself for a year and successfully advanced from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Han Deyun looked away from the book, smiled at Han Changming and said, "It's all thanks to you for guarding Red Shrimp Island and taking care of the spiritual valley and spiritual medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my retreat and practice. By the way, have you been busy recently?"
"It's nothing. If you can't solve it, tell Uncle Eighteen. Now that I've grown up, I can help the family. By the way, Uncle Eighteen, we're running out of spiritual grain."
Han Changming's words were very vague. Even if the matter of the demon python was exposed in the future, Han Deyun would at most think that Han Changming wanted to keep the demon python's body for himself. This was not surprising, after all, the demon python was killed by Han Changming himself.
Han Changming and Han Deyun's staple food is usually spiritual grains. As for the fasting pills, they will only take them when they are in seclusion.
They have to return to the clan to collect the spiritual grains they eat. The amount of spiritual grains they receive varies depending on their cultivation level, and they can only collect one year's worth of spiritual grains at a time.
Han Changming is at the fourth level of Qi Refining and can receive two spirit stones and twenty kilograms of first-grade lower-grade spirit grains every month. Han Deyun is at the seventh level of Qi Refining and can receive eight spirit stones and eighty kilograms of first-grade lower-grade spirit grains every month. The higher the level of cultivation, the more immortal cultivation resources the family will give out.
"I just have to go back to my tribe. Changming, if you need anything, I can get it for you."
Han Deyun was at the sixth level of Qi Refining before, and now he has advanced to the seventh level. He has to return to the clan. Only after the clan elders have verified that everything is correct will they increase his treatment. He must be the one to go back and receive the supplies.
"Uncle Eighteen, you can exchange my spirit stones for first-level blank talisman paper and get two boxes of cinnabar."
"Okay, I'll leave after lunch. Changming, you have to practice diligently and advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. You can't slack off. Do you understand?" Han Deyun's face was serious and his tone was heavy.
Han Changming nodded seriously and said, "I understand, Uncle Eighteen. I won't slack off."
Han Deyun nodded and asked about Han Changming's daily life. Han Changming answered truthfully, but he did not explain the existence of the spirit gathering stone.
"It is important to learn a skill, but you must allocate your time properly and not affect your own practice. I will bring back some more blank talisman paper for you."
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Eighteen. It's getting late. I'm going to cook. Please continue reading the classics!"
After lunch, Han Deyun gave a few instructions and drove Qingfeng Hulu away from Hongxia Island.
