Qin Tiexin Sit cross-legged, close your eyes and adjust your breath.
The impact of the hallucination was greater than he expected. The real feeling - the severe pain of the iron juice burning in his right hand, the crisp sound of the fracture of his right leg, the darkness of blindness in his left eye, and the weakness of finally lying on the bed - were all like experiencing it personally. Even though he knew it was a hallucination, his mind was still disturbed.
He operated the "Hunyuan Jue", allowing the five-color spiritual power to slowly flow through the meridians. Wherever the spiritual power passed, the residual phantom pain was gradually dissipated.
After adjusting my breath for a while, my mind finally calmed down.
Qin Tiexin opened his eyes and looked at Liu Qing.
Liu Qing was still holding the token with the word "Dan" in his hand, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was changing. Sometimes the corners of his mouth were slightly raised as if he had seen some happy event, and sometimes his brows were deeply furrowed with a look of pain, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Obviously, he could not escape from the illusion in a short time.
Qin Tiexin didn't wait.
He stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and looked at the token with the word "Qi" in his hand.
The token is dark gold in color, with warm tentacles, and the ancient character "Qi" on the surface glows with a faint luster under the light. Qin Tiexin injects a trace of spiritual power into the token.
The token trembles slightly.
Behind him, the wall on the left side of the hall suddenly lit up. On the originally smooth black wall, the outline of a door appeared. The doorframe was outlined with crystal stones of five colors, and a large word "Qi" was engraved in the center.
The door slid open silently, revealing a passage at the back. The passage was not long, about three feet, and there was a soft light coming from the end.
Qin Tiexin Hold the token tightly and step in.
The passage was very quiet, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow space. After walking for about ten steps, my eyes suddenly opened up.
It is a standard refining room.
It is about five feet square. The ground is paved with thick bluestone slabs, and the walls are made of fire-proof red stone. On the left side is a half-person-high forge against the wall, and on the right side is a large anvil table with a flat and smooth surface.
The most eye-catching thing is that in the center of the room, there are three stone shelves standing side by side.
Each shelf is carved from a single piece of obsidian and is about four feet high.
Qin Tiexin Go to the first shelf.
On the upper shelf, five pieces of materials the size of a human head are neatly arranged in different colors.
From left to right:
The first piece of dark gold has a fine metal texture on the surface. I started with a heavy and cold fine gold nugget and refined it into the core material of metallic Law Artifact, which is of extremely high quality.
The second piece is light green, translucent, with wood fiber-like textures flowing inside, exuding a light grassy fragrance - wood pith core, Wood Element spiritual material, suitable for refining wood attribute Law Artifact.
The third piece is a dark blue crystal, which is moist to the touch. There seems to be a thin layer of water vapor condensed on the surface forever, and there are ripples like water flow inside - Shui Yuan Crystal, the most precious treasure of the water system.
The fourth piece is as red as fire, with flame-like natural lines on the surface. You can feel a faint warmth when you hold it in your hand - fire Flame Iron, Fire Element, the top grade among spiritual materials.
The fifth piece is earthy yellow, with a thick texture and a fine gravel texture on the surface, as if the essence of the earth has been condensed - the earth soul stone, an earth-based weapon refining material.
All are top-notch spiritual materials.
Qin Tiexin picked them up one by one, checked them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, carefully put them into Storage Bag. Any piece of these five materials would be worth hundreds of Spirit Stone to the outside world, and they were priceless. More importantly, they happened to correspond to the attributes of the five elements - this was obviously specially prepared by the Hunyuan Sect for the five Spirit Root monks.
He walked to the second shelf.
There is only one Shitou on the shelf.
About the size of a fist, the whole body is of five colors, but it is not simply put together - the five colors blend with each other at the center of the stone, like a rotating nebula, but as you go to the edge, the colors become more distinct. Gold, green, blue, red, and yellow are clearly distinguishable, but they are integrated.
Qin Tiexin picked up Shitou.
So heavy.
With the power of his seventh level of body tempering, he actually felt his wrists sinking. The density of this Shitou was far higher than that of ordinary metal. He tried to input a trace of spiritual power, and fluctuations of five attributes came from the palm of his hand at the same time - the sharpness of gold, the vitality of wood, the softness of water, the blazing fire, and the thickness of earth. The five feelings emerged alternately, but were delicately balanced.
"Treasure material."
Qin Tiexin This word flashed in his mind. He had seen it in Zhuxintang's classics - above the spiritual materials, there are treasure materials. The treasure materials already possess some innate spirituality and can automatically fit in with the world Principle, and are the core materials for refining Spirit Artifact and even Law Treasure.
But he hasn't learned how to identify treasure materials, so he can't confirm what it is. He can only judge by feeling. The value of this thing is probably higher than the five top spiritual materials combined.
He carefully put away Shitou and turned to the third shelf.
There is a jade box on this shelf.
The jade box is about one foot long and half a foot wide. The entire body is carved from blue and white jade, with a smooth surface without any decoration. There is a groove in the center of the lid, the shape and size of which exactly matches the token with the word "qi".
Qin Tiexin Take out the token and put it into the groove.
Perfect fit.
"Click."
With a soft sound, the mechanism of the jade box popped open.
Qin Tiexin Lift the lid of the box.
The box is covered with a layer of soft white velvet, and a bead is placed on the velvet.
It is the size of a dragon eye and is completely transparent. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary crystal bead. But if you look closely, there are five colors of light flowing inside the bead - golden light, green, blue halo, red, and yellowish brown. The five colors slowly rotate, blend, and separate like life, constantly switching between colorless and five colors. The light is not dazzling, but it gives people a deep and vast feeling, as if there is a miniature universe hidden inside the bead.
Next to the beads, there is a dark yellow parchment roll.
Qin Tiexin First pick up the parchment roll and unfold it.
The handwriting above is in ancient style, but Qin Tiexin has studied it in Liuyun Sect and can recognize it:
"Five Elements Transformation Bead: can automatically transform 'Spiritual Qi without attributes' into Five Phases Spiritual Qi for the holder to absorb and practice. Transformation efficiency: 80%."
Just such a simple introduction.
But Qin Tiexin's hand holding the parchment trembled slightly.
He stared at the line of words and read it three times.
Then I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, and read them again.
It's true.
It's not a fantasy, it's not an illusion.
This is the treasure that can solve the biggest problem of the five Spirit Root monks.
Qin Tiexin The basic principles of cultivation quickly flashed through his mind:
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth is complex and contains various attributes. The monks of Early Qi Refining can directly absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for practice, because the cultivation level is low at that time and the demand is less. But in the middle stage of Qi refining, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi alone is no longer enough, and Spirit Stone must be used to assist.
Spiritual Qi in Spirit Stone is "Spiritual Qi without attributes". After the monk absorbs it, he needs to convert it into spiritual power with corresponding attributes according to his own Cultivation Method.
For example, Li Yun is water Spirit Root. After she absorbs Spirit Stone, she runs Cultivation Method to convert the non-attribute Spiritual Qi into water-attribute spiritual power, which is highly efficient and fast.
And what about the five Spirit Root monks?
Take Qin Tiexin as an example. He practices "Hunyuan Jue" and can absorb Spiritual Qi with five attributes, but in essence, he still needs to transform Spiritual Qi without attributes one by one - first into gold, then into wood., then to water, then to fire, and then to earth. Because the strength of Spirit Root is only about 20% of that of single Spirit Root, the efficiency of converting each attribute is extremely low, and the total time consumption is more than five times that of single Spirit Root.
What's even more fatal is that the utilization rate of Spirit Stone is also low. A single Spirit Root monk absorbs a piece of Spirit Stone and can convert more than 80% of the corresponding spiritual power; five Spirit Root monks also absorb a piece of Spirit Stone, but due to the loss during the conversion process, they can only get 20 to 30% in the end.
This is the root cause of Wu Spirit Root's slow cultivation - it's not a lack of effort, it's the innate mechanism that determines low efficiency.
But now, this Five Elements Transformation Bead directly breaks this mechanism.
It will automatically and simultaneously convert "Spiritual Qi without attributes" into Five Phases Spiritual Qi, with a conversion efficiency of 80%. This means that if Qin Tiexin absorbs a piece of Spirit Stone, it can directly obtain spiritual power of five attributes, and the total amount is equivalent to 80% of the effect of a single Spirit Root monk absorbing a piece of Spirit Stone.
In other words, with this bead, the cultivation speed of five Spirit Root will be increased to a level close to that of a single Spirit Root.
Although it is only 80%, what is the concept?
From crawling from a snail to running like a horse.
Qin Tiexin Put down the parchment and pick up the Five Elements Transformation Bead.
It was warm to the touch and felt like warm jade. The light inside the bead slowly flowed with his heartbeat, as if it was alive. He tried to inject a bit of spiritual power, and the bead immediately glowed with a soft halo, and the flow of five-color light accelerated, but it soon returned to calm.
He took out a piece of low-grade Spirit Stone from Storage Bag, held it in his left hand, and held the Transformation Bead in his right hand while running the "Hunyuan Jue" at the same time.
Under normal circumstances, he needs to first absorb the non-attribute Spiritual Qi in Spirit Stone, and then convert it into five attribute spiritual powers through Cultivation Method. The process is slow and involves losses.
But this time, it's different.
The Spiritual Qi in Spirit Stone had just been inhaled into the body, and before Cultivation Method could operate, the transformation beads in the hand started to heat up slightly. The moment the Spiritual Qi flowed through the right hand, it automatically divided into five strands - gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They were pure and balanced, and directly merged into the cyclone of Dantian.
The speed of cyclone rotation is accelerated visibly to the naked eye.
Qin Tiexin Close your eyes and feel carefully.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Ten breaths later, he opened his eyes, filled with uncontrollable surprise.
The speed of cultivation has increased by at least four times.
Moreover, Spiritual Qi is more pure and balanced, and the five attributes are perfectly integrated without any conflict. Originally, when practicing "Hunyuan Jue", you need to carefully balance the five elements, but now you don't have to worry at all - the transformation beads will automatically handle it.
If it weren't for the wrong environment here, Qin Tiexin would really like to retreat immediately and experience this refreshing feeling of cultivation.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully put the Five Elements Transformation Bead close to his body - placed it in the small pocket lining the innermost layer of clothing and tied it with a string to ensure that it would not fall.
Then he looked around the refining room.
The three shelves were empty, and although the forge was nice, it couldn't be taken away. He checked around to make sure nothing valuable was missing, and then turned and left.
Walk out of the instrument room and return to the core hall.
Liu Qing was still struggling in the illusion, but her face had calmed down a lot, her brows were relaxed, and there was even a faint smile on her lips. She must have broken through the illusion soon.
Qin Tiexin did not disturb him, walked aside and sat down cross-legged.
He touched the Five Elements Transformation Pearl on his chest and felt the warm touch, feeling an unprecedented sense of security in his heart.
This trip to the ruins is worth it.
Gold ore, agarwood, black ice flowers, fire ganoderma, earth crystals, heavy rock fragments, as well as the five top spiritual materials, the five-color stone that is suspected to be a treasure, and the most important thing - the Five Elements Transformation Bead.
These gains were enough to change his cultivation trajectory.
As for the "treasure that enhances the five elements magic" that Liu Qing said... Qin Tiexin doesn't know what it is, but for him, the five elements transformation beads are the most precious. Magic is not his main practice, body refining and weapon refining are the fundamentals.
He closed his eyes and continued to adjust his breath, waiting for Liu Qing to wake up.
The hall was quiet, with only the slowly rotating dim light of the five-color light ball reflecting the figures of two young people. One had just walked out of the illusion, holding the hope of changing his destiny; the other was still struggling in the illusion, pursuing his own path.
