In order to exchange for the ancient sword, Ruyi, seal, jade tablet and stone ball, Mrs. Liang ordered her son Liang Chuan to retrieve the rare treasures that the Liang family had collected for many years. The treasures were brilliant and dazzling for a while.
With continuous inheritance over the years, the Qiangu Family indeed has a rich heritage that can make anyone pay attention to it, even a loose immortal like Jiang Chen who has survived the Thunder Tribulation is no exception.
Ancient swords and divine weapons, wishful treasures, majestic seals, and magical jade tablets. Each of them is a rare treasure. Whether in the secular world or the spiritual world, they have great value, but really What moved Jiang Chen the most was the most inconspicuous looking colorful stone ball.
Although the stone ball itself can be regarded as a rare treasure on the market, on the surface, its value is far less than the other four, especially the jade tablet that is likely to contain the inheritance of immortal magic. However, there is something hidden inside the stone ball. There is a huge secret that is enough to make people astonished, because it clearly contains:
A stone fetus!
Jiang Chen opened his eyes in the cave and could see clearly that there was a stone fetus in the mysterious colorful stone ball, a human-shaped stone fetus that looked as pretty as a human baby.
Colorful stone balls are rare treasures created by heaven and earth. Millions of years have passed since they were naturally formed. Over the years, they feel the essence of the sun and the moon, receive the spirit of heaven and earth, mix the black and yellow, and blend the yin and yang. , and finally endowed the stone ball with spirituality, causing a spiritual fetus to be conceived within it, with all four limbs and all seven orifices.
Originally, it seemed that once such a spiritual fetus of heaven and earth was conceived and completed, and was born with the vision of heaven and earth, it would be able to possess huge power comparable to the gods of heaven. However, it is a pity that this colorful stone ball was discovered somehow and ended up in the world. The spiritual fetus also lost its original opportunity to be born!
Fortunately, the colorful stone balls themselves have the function of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, although the spiritual fetus has withered, it still retains a trace of vitality and is not completely cut off. It was precisely because of this that Jiang Chen was moved by desire, because this natural stone embryo gave him hope of true rebirth.
Although the physical body he is using now is not bad, after all, it is limited by reincarnation and does not belong to him. He can always feel that the fit between himself and this body is a bit far-fetched. This, along with his cultivation For continuous improvement, it gradually becomes more and more obvious.
But even though he had the intention, he has been unable to change this result, because although he can use the Sanxian Yuanshen to forcibly seize other people's bodies, most of his abilities are in this body. If he can't find it, To find a suitable method and give up the physical body is to give up the fruits of his long efforts. Moreover, the most important thing is that the body obtained by taking away the body may not be more suitable than the current body.
Strength, compatibility, potential, many innate conditions, each of them is a restriction for Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen never gives up, because he still wants to return to his original world; because , there are family members he still cares about; because, this is his obsession... No matter how many reasons there are, when summed up in one place, it actually boils down to three words:
Can't let go!
It is precisely because he cannot let go that he will persist in practicing hard; and it is precisely because he cannot let go that he will persevere in searching for true rebirth. Huangtian paid off, and his efforts seemed to have been in vain, because his pursuit seemed to have yielded results.
Born with a stone fetus, the potential is unlimited!
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he can use his own life source, supplemented by the spirit of heaven and earth elves, to nurture this stone fetus, so that the stone fetus can not only achieve perfect fit with his soul, but also be able to perfectly The abilities inherited from his body include the immortal demon body, dragon-elephant divine power, etc.
Of course, these are prerequisites, that is, he must have this natural stone body. In other words, he must have the colorful stone ball that carries this natural stone body.
Seeing the change in Jiang Chen's eyes, Mrs. Liang couldn't help but have a smug smile on her face, and then she asked with a smile: "How is it, Taoist Master Zhiqiu, I wonder if you are satisfied with these things, I am not boasting, These are treasures accumulated by the Liang family for thousands of years. Even though they cannot be compared with the four treasures of Prince Liang's Mansion, each one is a rare treasure."
Yes, to ordinary people, these are just rare treasures, far less magical and mysterious than the Eight Diagrams Furnace of Time and the Music Picture of God Juntian. But for a master of cultivation like Jiang Chen, it is just the opposite. time, in fact, the value is not surprising, or even higher.
"Yes, these are rare treasures." Jiang Chen instantly restrained his expression and asked indifferently: "Tell me, Madam, how do you want to exchange them?"
Madam Liang asked tentatively: "I want to exchange these five treasures for the four treasures of Prince Liang's mansion. I wonder what Qiu Daochang wants?"
"Not at all." Jiang Chen snorted, looked at Madam Liang with a half-smile and said, "Madam, are you kidding me?"
"How can I dare?" Mrs. Liang said quickly: "If I made a mistake in what I said just now, please know that Master Qiu will speak clearly and explain the reason."
"Do you want me to tell the truth?" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I don't deny the preciousness of these five treasures in your family, but to me, not everything is useful, so if If you are willing, I can exchange the Shen Juntian Music Picture and the Hour Bagua Furnace with you for jade tablets and stone balls, what do you think, Madam?"
"This..." Mrs. Liang said with some hope: "Can't we exchange them all? I just hope to exchange for the four treasures of Prince Liang's house. After all, these are the things of my husband-in-law's eldest brother's family. He I kindly borrowed it to treat my husband's illness, but we can't keep it and don't return it, please ask the Taoist priest to make it happen."
"I'm still saying the same thing. You can either exchange the jade tablets and stone balls with me for the God Juntian's Musical Pictures and the Hourly Bagua Furnace, or we can break up." Jiang Chen said calmly: "Madam, you can think about it. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. of."
"Oh, that's all, that's all." Mrs. Liang thought that she would take back something if she could get it back. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help sighing, and then responded: "Then I know that Qiu Daochang As she said, I will first exchange the jade tablets and stone balls with the Taoist priest for the Shen Juntian Music Picture and the Hourly Bagua Furnace." After a slight pause, she continued: "But can the Taoist agree, if our Liang family finds Hedao? It is a cherished treasure, please allow us to exchange it for the remaining two treasures."
"Yes, but I have to give you a time limit, one year. Within one year, if you find a treasure that can touch my heart, I don't mind returning the Fire God Bead and the Mutton Fat Jade Purity Bottle to you." Jiang Chen only said After a moment's hesitation, he agreed to Mrs. Liang's request. After all, he also knew that although Liang Siyuan and Prince Liang were brothers, they had separated. Therefore, the four treasures of Prince Liang's house were considered to be someone else's property, and were now secretly kept by Liang Chuan. Use it to make a deal with yourself. Once King Liang blames it, it will definitely be a big trouble.
However, Jiang Chen agreed to this condition just to make both parties look better. After all, the Liang family's millennium treasures, apart from the family heirlooms, only have a jade tablet and colorful stone balls that can match his discernment. It is almost impossible to find treasures from heaven and earth that are comparable to the Four Treasures of Prince Liang's Mansion in just one year.
"Let's trade." Jiang Chen said calmly, turned over his hands and took out the Shen Juntian Music Picture and the Hourly Bagua Furnace, exchanged the jade tablet and stone ball with Madam Liang, and took the opportunity to say goodbye: "The matter here is over, and so is the poor Taoist. It’s time to go back.”
Mrs. Liang hurriedly tried to persuade her: "Why should Taoist Master rush back? You cured my husband's strange cold and saved his life. I also thought of hosting a banquet to entertain Taoist Master."
"No need." Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "I treated Magistrate Liang, and you have already paid me enough medical fees. As the saying goes, the money and goods will be settled. If you say thank you or something, you can waive it."
"Taoist Master, go slowly." Seeing that it was useless to persuade him to stay, Mrs. Liang quickly called to Liang Chuan and said, "Chuan'er, why don't you hurry up and see Taoist Master Zhiqiu off?"
"Yes." He reluctantly responded, and Liang Chuan immediately extended his hand to Jiang Chen with a calm face, and said in a gloomy voice with a bit of resentment: "Master Zhiqiu, aren't you going to leave? Please do it now. "
"The poor fellow will first thank Mr. Liang for taking the trouble to accompany me." Regarding Liang Chuan's performance, Jiang Chen didn't care at all. He immediately responded with a half-smile, and then accompanied Liang Chuan, he went there one after another. After leaving the inner room, he went straight to the outer hall...
