After listening to Zhang Xiaosheng's words, Kong Cai's eyes suddenly brightened and he said:
"Is this... is this possible?"
Zhang Xiaosheng patted Kong Cai on the shoulder and said:
"Absolutely doable."
[Kong Cai’s reputation +400, friendliness 700/3000]
At this time, the two became more familiar with each other, and Kong Cai said a little embarrassedly:
"I don't know whether I should hope that my Taoist friends will win more games or win less games..."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it will happen sooner or later, brother Dao, don't worry!"
"This... well, Kong understands the brotherly bond. From now on, Brother Yu will take more care of you within the scope of his responsibilities!"
"Then thank you very much, Brother Dao!"
"You practice first, and I will take you to the gathering in three days." Kong Cai said a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
"Brother Dao, walk slowly."
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at Kong Cai's leaving figure and nodded slightly. He was pretty good, much better than that short man.
However, money and silk attract people's hearts, and this is also based on interests. If I am useless, I am afraid that in his eyes I should be as disgusted by him as other miners.
Now that he has reached the realm of fake elixirs, the absorbed spiritual energy will automatically attach to the fake elixirs and help solidify the elixir form, so there is no need to worry about too much spiritual energy in the body and it cannot be accommodated. Zhang Xiaosheng dug out another high-grade spiritual stone and chuckled. , prepare to operate the technique, try to absorb it first, and see the effect.
[Inferior quality high-grade spiritual stone is identified. Do you want to spend 1 reputation to repair it? Yes/No]
Um?
Is this still inferior quality?
However, when I think back on the first time I collected the high-grade spiritual stones here, compared with what I drew in the lottery system, they were indeed inferior.
It only costs 1 reputation point. Just fix it and see the effect. Click "Yes".
[Repair successful]
Um?
Where is my spirit stone?
Zhang Xiaosheng was shocked, where had the spirit stone gone?
Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and opened the system space with some disbelief, only to see lying quietly in the corner... two high-grade spiritual stones!
He reached out and grabbed it, and two high-grade spiritual stones flew into his hand. Zhang Xiaosheng looked at them carefully, but there was no difference between them.
This is the piece that was just repaired!
Can the system space be collected after repair?
Zhang Xiaosheng had tried to collect high-grade spiritual stones dug out of the mine before, but was unsuccessful. This time, he automatically returned to the system space. Could it be that the system was broken?
Quickly digging out another piece, Zhang Xiaosheng grabbed the spirit stone in his hand and thought about collecting it, when the system prompt appeared:
[Non-system items cannot be collected]
The prompt is correct, so what’s going on?
correct!
Previously, the system showed that it had identified a low-quality, high-grade spiritual stone, but just now it showed that it could not be collected. Why is this?
Could it be that it is only recognized when it is used?
With a slight movement in his heart, Zhang Xiaosheng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, activated his skills, and prepared to absorb the high-grade spiritual stone in his hand.
[Inferior quality high-grade spiritual stone is identified. Do you want to spend 1 reputation to repair it? Yes/No]
really! ! !
It will only be recognized after use, and after repair, it will be something produced by the system, so it can be stored in the system space!
My dear mother, this is about to happen! ! !
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng directly condensed a huge hammer, rolled up his sleeves, and hit the cave wall with a "bang", scattering countless rubble.
There was another "bang" sound, and high-grade spiritual stones began to be exposed. Zhang Xiaosheng smashed more than eighty times along the cave wall inside, taking out a total of 32 high-grade spiritual stones, and then smashed all the rocks that had absorbed the light before.
Keep running the technique, then click Repair.
[Repair successful]
[Repair successful]
…
[If the reputation is insufficient, should the reputation of the Five Elements Sect be reduced to Reverence? whether】
whether!
Zhang Xiaosheng almost chose yes!
Gan!
I forgot that I had a total of 13 reputation points left.
He quickly took out a reputation pill and clicked to use it without hesitation, repairing the spiritual stone in his hand again.
[Repair successful]
At this moment, Zhang Xiaosheng felt that the most beautiful words in the world were none other than these!
continue!
…
Placing his hands on the cave wall, Zhang Xiaosheng began to absorb the five elements of spiritual energy in the rocks. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the spiritual energy being saturated at this time. The more spiritual energy absorbed, the more conducive to the condensation of the fake elixir, and the sooner he can break through the golden elixir.
When he first came here, Zhang Xiaosheng was still at the eighth level of foundation building, and it took him more than five hours to absorb the spiritual energy contained in the surrounding rocks of a high-grade spiritual stone. At this time, he was already in the fake elixir realm, and his speed had increased by more than one degree. times.
After an hour, a high-grade spiritual stone appeared in Zhang Xiaosheng's hand.
Zhang Xiaosheng laughed, first running the technique to absorb, and then clicking on repair, so that there was another extremely pure high-grade spiritual stone in the system space.
It’s 34 yuan, let’s continue!
…
Sensing the passage of time, Zhang Xiaosheng felt like his days were like years. Why didn't Kong Cai come yet? If I had known this would happen, I might have been able to dig out another piece!
Today is the day to collect the spirit stones, and it is also the day Kong Cai promised to take him out. Looking at the high-grade spiritual stone that he had just collected in his hand, Zhang Xiaosheng really wanted to use his skills to repair it for a while. But Kong Cai would come at any time, so it was naturally impossible for Zhang Xiaosheng to let Kong Cai catch him absorbing the spiritual energy from the cave wall.
Moreover, after these few days of absorption, Zhang Xiaosheng now has a total of 103 high-grade spiritual stones in the system space, one of which was drawn in the original lottery, and the other 102 were all dug... in the past three days!
However, he also chipped away a layer of the entire cave wall. Fortunately, it only lasted three days. If Zhang Xiaosheng had been given a month, Kong Cai would have doubted whether he had gone to the wrong mine.
Restraint, restraint!
Although Zhang Xiaosheng kept telling himself to exercise restraint during the past three days, his hands were still reluctant to leave the cave wall and stop absorbing. Once upon a time, Zhang Xiaosheng found that he had fallen deeply in love with the glorious and promising profession of a miner!
The harvest of the next three days was not only the digging out of the 102 high-grade spiritual stones. At this time, the five fake pills of different colors in Zhang Xiaosheng's Dantian were still spinning in circles, but their appearance was already three points smaller than before. , the color has also become much more crystal clear. If I continue at this rate, I am afraid that if I continue to smoke for ten more days, I will reach the critical point of breaking through the golden elixir.
The first difficulty in breaking through the realm of fake elixirs and breaking through to the golden elixir lies in the accumulation of quantity. It takes a massive amount of spiritual energy to refine the fake elixirs to a completely crystal clear state. Only after the accumulation reaches a critical point is the first qualitative improvement, and the qualitative change brings It is the filling of the body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the second quantitative accumulation. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is filled into the body, the remaining traction force is the second qualitative leap.
Only two quantitative and qualitative changes can create a breakthrough from fake elixir to golden elixir. Who can say it is easy?
Although Zhang Xiaosheng has absorbed countless spiritual energy in the past three days, he has only achieved about 30% of his first quantitative transformation.
Fortunately, this was beyond Zhang Xiaosheng's expectations. He was only one day away from leaving the sect and one month later. He had already broken through to the fake elixir realm and his speed was no longer slow.
You can't live without being satisfied.
It's a pity that the spirit stone can no longer be dug, otherwise it would be too obvious, alas!
Just as he was thinking about it, Kong Cai's aura appeared in the sensing range. Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly sat cross-legged and pretended that he was practicing.
"Brother, I'm here." Kong Cai's voice was filled with the joy of not seeing each other for three days.
Zhang Xiaosheng opened his eyes slightly, and after seeing that it was Kong Cai, he quickly stood up and said:
"Brother Kong Dao, you're polite." He said as he habitually handed the high-grade spiritual stone that he had prepared to Kong Cai.
Kong Cai took it with one hand, put away the spirit stone, and nodded with satisfaction. The most reassuring thing about Zhang Xiaosheng is that every task is completed in a very timely manner, and there is never any delay in collection due to cultivation.
This situation was not uncommon in the past. There were always people who were immersed in cultivation and delayed the collection, but they usually made up for it as soon as possible, so Kong Cai and the others didn't care too much. The reason for their strict attitude was to prevent these miners from delaying the collection. It's just a matter of routine.
Kong Cai smiled and said to Zhang Xiaosheng:
"Brother, the qualifying round officially starts at noon. There are still about two hours left. I will tell you the rules so you can prepare in advance."
Zhang Xiaosheng cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you so much, Brother Kong Dao."
I sighed to myself, this friendly attitude is different from neutrality.
