"Elder Li, there is a letter for you."
Zhang San saw Li Baitian walking out of the cave, trotted over and handed him a letter.
"This is the new part-time job you found. Have you changed your career to delivering letters?"
Li Baitian took the letter and asked with a smile.
He glanced at the sender: Jiang Chuan.
His heart was beating violently. Jiang Chuan had said that if he checked the blood crystal and found out something about it, he would be given news. What did he find out?
Zhang San nodded: "I met Dr. Jiang at the gate of the academy, so I simply ran errands for him to get some extra income."
Li Baitian: "If you have this time, you might as well practice. As long as you improve your cultivation, money will be at your fingertips."
Zhang San smiled bitterly: "My family still has thirty-one years of housing loan to pay, and..."
Li Baitian's head was as big as a fight, and Zhang San started to complain whenever he disagreed. He found an excuse to send him away.
Opening the letter, there was only a brief sentence inside.
"Don't practice, come quickly!"
The notes were scrawled, as if they were written in a hurry, and Jiang Chuan looked anxious.
Li Baitian did not dare to neglect and quickly went down the mountain and went straight to Haoqi City.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he left the main peak, several streams of light passed by and landed in front of his cave.
"He disappeared as soon as he came out. This elder is still waiting for him to give me an explanation!"
"Made, this kid is a loach. He knows that blackmailing our direct disciple will not end well, so he ran away really fast!"
"Haha, it just so happens that we haven't settled the accounts with him about the Water Cube yet. Let's go to Sister Zha to make the decision. This time we will settle the old and new accounts together!"
…
Haoqi City.
Inside Yayale Drug Store.
Empty.
Li Baitian didn't find Jiang Chuan, but found a note on the table.
"Come to Plum Blossom Bookstore."
He didn't know where the Meihua Bookstore was, so he asked around and found a small alley that was even more remote than Yayale Drug Store. There was a small bookstore in the innermost corner.
Li Baitian didn't know what to say. He originally thought Jiang Chuan was good at doing business, but he didn't expect someone to be more powerful than him. Is the bookstore open in a place like this because he is afraid of customers coming in?
Even when choosing a location for a garbage dump, this poor place would not be chosen.
The cabin is very old, but it is clean and tidy.
He knocked on the door and walked in.
As expected, there were only two people in the room, one was Jiang Chuan, and the other was a fat man, who should be the bookstore owner.
"Hey, here you go, this is the blacksmith shop owner Li Baitian, the business wizard who has been in the limelight recently, right?"
"I have admired you for a long time. If you have the opportunity, you must come to my place for an interview and print an issue. If the sales are good, Fatty will publish a book for you!"
The fat man greeted me warmly, shaking hands and hugging him.
Li Baitian was confused: "You are..."
The fat man said happily: "I am the boss of Meihua Academy, Mei Pu has passed!"
"It turns out to be Boss Mei. I often hear Brother Jiang mention you and admire you for a long time."
Li Baitian suddenly realized that Jiang Chuan had mentioned this person. He thought he was an enemy, but now he seemed more like a pair of happy enemies.
"Brother, take a seat!"
"Fat Master will make you some tea!"
Mei Puguo's face was filled with joy, and Li Baitian felt that something was wrong with the way he looked at her.
He wanted to talk to Jiang Chuan, but he was concentrating on writing and drawing on the paper. He didn't dare to interrupt for fear of delaying the business.
Li Baitian kept chatting: "I'm wearing a mask, how does Boss Mei know it's me?"
"Brothers, you are the only one who is bald. The fat man recognized you at a glance."
"Furthermore, Fatty, this place is so quiet that most people wouldn't dare to set foot there. If Boss Jiang hadn't left a note, who would have found this place?"
Mei Puguo was very proud, as if he was very proud to have opened the bookstore in a place where no one could find it.
Li Baitian's face turned dark.
Unreliable, every inch of fat on the fat man's face says unreliable.
"It makes sense now that it's connected. Fatty, you're right, it's really the [Two Gods]!"
Jiang Chuan suddenly looked up, his face full of exhaustion.
"Brother Li, you're here. You haven't practiced in the past two days, right?"
Li Baitian shook his head: "No."
He has nothing to do with cultivation, and he has never practiced.
"Boss Jiang never gets to the point when he talks. Does cultivation have anything to do with spirit stones? Brother Li is a master of weapon refining. Wouldn't it be possible to practice just by making a spirit gathering formation?"
"You should ask him if he has used spiritual stones to practice. The explanation must be clear."
Mei Puguo corrected Jiang Chuan's words. He couldn't listen to words with incorrect language habits.
As soon as these words came out, Li Baitian's body stiffened and his heart skipped a beat.
Seeing him like this, the two people's expressions changed slightly, and they stopped laughing and joking.
Jiang Chuan: "Let's get down to business. I found out from Fatty that there is a connection between the Ershen Mountain and Rising Sun City..."
Li Baitian interrupted: "The Great God and the Second God are dancing, right? I know this. Sister Zha has already said it. Just tell me what the blood pool is for."
Jiang Chuan took out the blood crystal and put it on the table: "Brother Li, tell me first, what color does this blood crystal look like now?"
Li Baitian blurted out: "Of course it's blue."
"Very good, the purpose of the blood pool is to refine the blood crystals, and after the blood crystals are produced, they become spiritual stones."
"The Er Shen Mountain exists to make spiritual stones for Rising Sun City. They use corpses as guides to refine them. This is a way to obtain spiritual stones without digging the spiritual stone veins!"
"I told you not to practice because this kind of spiritual stone has probably flowed into Haoqi City!"
Jiang Chuan's words made Li Baitian feel cold all over.
"you sure?"
"If that's true, why didn't anyone notice?"
Li Baitian couldn't believe it. If it was true, wouldn't it mean that there was something wrong with the spiritual stone he used from the beginning?
"This is exactly the problem. If no one notices it if it flows into Haoqi City, it can only mean that this kind of spiritual stone has been widely used for a long time. Even before we were born, even when our parents and grandparents were born, they were already using it. Plant spiritual stones.”
"I chopped up part of the blood crystal and found the scent of wild boar. This blood crystal was refined from a pig demon. To be precise, the pig demon component of this blood crystal accounts for a relatively high proportion."
"This is also the key to how humans can transform into monsters. After absorbing the power of these spiritual stones for cultivation, the breath and blood of monsters will penetrate into human blood. However, the human body is weak, and when it comes to the strength of blood, it cannot compare to monsters. , once the blood in the body is activated, it will naturally transform into a monster."
After hearing this, Li Baitian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, his mind went blank. This was a situation he had never imagined.
He thought of White Mask's unbridled laughter while tempering his body, and he thought of White Mask's inexplicable excitement, and the words that made him laugh that he couldn't see through.
Could it be that Xinhuo knew there was something wrong with the spirit stone, so he laughed at it like that?
"Then are the spirit stones and blood crystals we use the same kind?"
"The spirit stones circulating in Haoqi City haven't detected anything, but there must be something wrong, otherwise you and I wouldn't turn into monsters."
"Perhaps refining the blood crystals in the blood pool is only the first step in making the spirit stone, and the subsequent production process can erase the aura of the monster in the spirit stone."
