The items placed in the jade box should represent the rewards for passing the road to heaven. The master of the Reading Pavilion took out such a jade box on his own initiative, which presumably means that he affirmed Kong Ming's achievements and recognized that Kong Ming had passed this level. close.
Moreover, judging from the degree of appreciation of the Master of the Reading Pavilion, what he handed to Kong Ming was probably the highest level reward for passing this level.
Sure enough, as Kong Ming opened the jade box, a large fist ore flashing with five colors of energy appeared in front of Kong Ming's eyes.
"Five Elements Stone??! This kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure that only exists in legends really exists in this world??"
Even Kong Ming, who always had a calm expression, couldn't help showing an expression of surprise at this time!
Because the "Five Elements Stone" only exists in legends on Tianyuan Continent, it is said to be the only strange stone in the world that can simultaneously carry the infusion of five elements of elemental power. It is also at the forefront among all heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
For the people of the Confucius family, this "Five Elements Stone" has a special meaning, because the ancestor of the Confucius family, Kong Xiu, spent his whole life looking for the "Five Elements Stone" and wanted to use the "Five Elements Stone" as the main material. He wanted to create a natal weapon that was most suitable for him, but in the end he failed to do so!
Therefore, the "Five Elements Stone" has become a legend for the disciples of the Confucius family. Just imagine that even with the great magical power of our ancestor Kong Xiu, he could not find the "Five Elements Stone". So does this kind of strange stone really exist in Tianyuan Continent
Moreover, for Kong Ming, this "Five Elements Stone" is also extremely important!
Kong Ming used his master-forging method and various precious materials to upgrade his natal Yuan Weapon, the Star Fire Sword, into a top-level Yuan Weapon with all five series. However, when the Star Fire Sword reaches this level, it is considered to be at its peak. Even if Kong Ming reaches the level of a master forger in the future, the quality of the Star Fire Sword cannot be improved.
But with the "Five Elements Stone", the results can be said to be completely different. As long as Kong Ming has a way to integrate the "Five Elements Stone" into the Star Fire Sword in the future, it is not impossible to upgrade it to a Yuan Weapon. of!
Being able to get the "Five Elements Stone" when he was on the Road to Heaven was definitely an unexpected surprise for Kong Ming. However, although there are many opportunities on the Road to Heaven, it is really possible to get all the treasures of heaven and earth like the "Five Elements Stone". Is it reasonable to give rewards
You must know that this is a treasure that only exists in legends!
After a burst of ecstasy, Kong Ming gradually calmed down, so he took the initiative to ask the master of the Reading Pavilion: "Senior, what kind of treasure is this 'Five Elements Stone'? Can it really be used as a reward?"
The master of the Reading Pavilion laughed loudly and said: "This 'Five Elements Stone' is a personal gift from me. As for the income from passing the level, there is another reward!"
Kong Ming was shocked after hearing this, and quickly waved his hands and said: "How can this be done? The 'Five Elements Stone' is such a treasure of heaven and earth, it is too precious, and the younger generation really can't afford it!"
The master of the Reading Pavilion continued to laugh and said: "Little brother, if even you can't afford it, then who else in the world can afford it? Yes, this 'Five Elements Stone' is a legendary thing, and it is really not easy to get. But the special physique of a fellow practitioner of the Five Elements can also be regarded as a legend! In today's world, besides you, little brother, who can be a practitioner of the Five Elements, who else can do it? If this 'Five Elements Stone' is not given to you, how can it be done? Who can bear it?"
Having said this, the Master of the Reading Pavilion said seriously: "Little brother, your extraordinary talent is something I have never seen before. I believe you will be able to grow to a level that I can only look up to in the future! And to be able to compete with you It is also a blessing for me to meet each other and have the opportunity to help you. A treasure like the 'Five Elements Stone', rather than gathering dust in my hands, would be better to shine in the hands of you, little brother! I believe that it will shine in the history books of the future. Above all, it will surely be something to write home about!"
"In the past, in order to complete a nautical chart in "Mountain and River Geography", I once went to the outer sea and experienced nine deaths. As a result, I accidentally found this 'Five Elements Stone' in the belly of a giant whale. I have treasured it to this day and have never seen it before. Show it in front of others. Although this 'Five Elements Stone' is precious, it can only be considered a perfect match when paired with a practitioner who practices all five elements! I can say that I have been waiting for you for a long time! More importantly, your intelligence I am impressed by your intelligence, so naturally I will give this 'Five Elements Stone' to you!"
Having said this, the master of the Reading Pavilion waved his hand, as if he could not tolerate Kong Ming's refusal.
Kong Ming was moved in his heart, and he bowed respectfully to the master of the reading pavilion and said: "Senior, I have given you a generous gift today, and I, the junior, will never forget it for the rest of my life!"
The master of the Reading Pavilion smiled and nodded, and said: "I have loved reading all my life. For hundreds of years, I have said that there is no book that I have not read, and I claim to be the most knowledgeable in the world! But because reading consumes too much time, practicing Until now, this realm has stopped. After seeing your reading ability, little brother, today, I can say that it is really an eye-opener! If I had such ability as you, little brother, I am afraid that before I am thirty, I’ve already read all the books in the world!”
Seeing the envious look on the reading pavilion master's face, Kong Ming did not hide it from him, so he explained: "This junior is born with strong soul power. Occasionally, he found that reading with soul power can directly imprint the contents of the book into his mind, which is very efficient. It is so high that others find it incredible. Unfortunately, the juniors usually spend too much time on the path of cultivation and have too few opportunities to really study, thus wasting this ability."
After hearing this, the master of the Reading Pavilion nodded repeatedly and said: "It turns out that soul power can have such wonderful uses. It really opened my eyes. Unfortunately, the strength of my soul power is limited and cannot be released to the outside. For such a magical power, I'm afraid I can't even try the reading method. Alas, there are really all kinds of wonders in the world, and even soul power has such special uses. I thought it could only be used to stabilize the mind during cultivation!"
The master of the Reading Pavilion sighed and moved the desk in front of him. Suddenly, a khaki light came through. It turned out that the way out of this floor was under the desk.
At the same time, the master of the Reading Pavilion once again took out a jade box and placed it on the desk, then winked at Kong Ming and said: "The contents of this jade box are your reward for passing the level of the Reading Pavilion. Don’t worry, this thing is funded by the public, so there’s no need to feel sorry for me!”
Although the Master of the Reading Pavilion reads a lot, he is obviously not a bookworm who only knows how to study. It can be seen from his attitude towards Kong Ming that he is definitely a very adaptable person. At that moment, Kong Ming stopped being polite and put away the jade box on the desk.
The reward in the jade box is also a rare ore. Although it is far from the "Five Elements Stone", it is similar to the "Water Spirit Blue Ice Stone" that Kong Ming got previously. It is a piece of gold called "Geng Jin Dead Wood Stone" special ore.
"Gengjin Dead Wood Stone" can fuse the elemental power of metal and wood. It can also be regarded as a strange stone. If it can be used together with "Water Spirit Blue Ice Stone", its uses will be even wider.
It seems that the arrangements on the road to heaven are not just decided so casually. There are still some connections between them. It is true that the further you go, the more benefits you will get!
Since this "Geng Gold Dead Wood Stone" is the reward Kong Ming deserves, there is no need for Kong Ming to be polite. He directly put away the "Geng Gold Dead Wood Stone", then bowed to the Master of the Reading Pavilion and said: " The juniors will remember today’s generous gift from the seniors! Seniors, please rest assured that the juniors will definitely make great achievements and will not let the seniors down!”
The Master of the Reading Pavilion smiled and nodded, and said: "If you can go all the way to the end of the road to the sky, you will find that there are more severe tests waiting for you! However, if you can really make it to that step If so, how could you possibly disappoint me?"
The master of the Reading Pavilion said as he waved goodbye to Kong Ming. Although Kong Ming was a little puzzled by the words of the Master of the Reading Pavilion, he couldn't ask more questions at this time. After bowing and saluting, he disappeared from the restraint of the earthy yellow light.
After Kong Ming's figure disappeared, the smile of the master of the reading pavilion did not diminish at all. Instead, he nodded repeatedly and said: "What a young talent! The Kong family is really full of talents. Senior Kong Xiu was at the front, and now there is Kong Ming. What a peerless talent! If I really have the chance to write a history book in the future, I will definitely have the opportunity to write a rich and colorful chapter!"
After saying this sigh, the master of the Reading Pavilion continued to hold an ancient book in his hand and read it with gusto, as if reading was the only thing he was most interested in!
Kong Ming spent more than five days in total when he broke through the reading pavilion. It seemed to take a long time, but Shi Zhongyu, who was chasing after Kong Ming, had only passed one-third of the Five Elements Trap Formation at this time. !
Based on Shi Zhongyu's progress, if it hadn't been for ten days and a half, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get out of the Five Elements Trap Formation, and the distance from Kong Ming would only get farther and farther...
Let's talk about Kong Ming. After teleporting out of the reading pavilion, he found that he was actually in a farmland that looked like a countryside. He was surrounded by endless fields and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland!
Kong Ming is not a layman on farming matters. He just looked around and realized that although there were many fertile fields in front of him, they obviously lacked water sources. Most of the early seedlings planted in the fields looked helpless. If they could not solve the problem, Due to the water source problem, I am afraid that in four or five days, all these ten thousand hectares of fertile land will be ruined!
Of course, it is impossible for such a large area to be taken care of by no one. I saw an old man with a short stature dressed as a farmer, squatting beside an acre of rice fields, puffing away the dry cigarette in his hand, and his face was definitely a look. With a sad look on his face, he was obviously worried about the lack of water in the fertile fields in front of him!
