Lu Zhong shook his head,
"It's difficult. I asked the old man who grew the medicine. The special inspiration in this medicine field has disappeared.
Nowadays, not only is it not suitable for growing medicinal materials, but even ordinary crops are difficult to grow on it. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a few children's crying sounds suddenly came from the burned medicine field, which was vague and unreal.
If you were an ordinary farmer, you might just ignore it.
However, Meng Zhao and Lu Le were both accomplished masters of internal strength, with sharp ears and eyes and excellent hearing.
Not to mention Lu Zhong Xiucheng's innate innocence, he immediately pinpointed where the child was crying.
Lu Zhong gave an order, and Lu Le used Qing Kung Fu and swept towards the depths of the burned medicine field, disappearing from Meng Zhao's eyes in a short time.
After about a minute or so, Lu Le ran back dumbfounded, but he was still holding a dirty child in his hand. His face was black and white, like a tabby cat. He must have been crying before. The noise was caused by him.
Lu Le put the child down, patted his head gently, and said to Meng Zhao and Lu Zhong,
"This child was naughty and got into trouble with his playmates. He ran out to play by himself and accidentally fell into a small hole in the medicine field. It's nothing serious."
Lu Le acted very relaxed. The child must have been frightened at this time and stayed there obediently, not daring to speak.
Meng Zhao just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
When you get back, leave the child to his family and take good care of him from now on.
However, Lu Zhong kept staring at the stone in the child's dark hand. He was confused at first, then shocked, and finally his face changed wildly. He grabbed Lu Le and said with a tremor in his old voice,
"Where did you find this child just now? Take me there quickly."
Lu Le was a little surprised, but since it was his adoptive father's request, he could just comply.
Meng Zhao also didn't understand why Lu Zhong had such a big reaction to a small stone, but he knew that things might be changing, so he followed him.
When they arrived at the place, which was roughly located in the center of the medicine field, the three of them finally saw a quicksand-like pit at the bottom. It was not deep. The so-called children were trapped in it, and the fear outweighed the danger.
The soil is scorched black all around, but for some reason, compared to the strong burnt smell nearby, there is a faint refreshing atmosphere here, as if you are in the middle of flowers and woods.
Lu Zhong's expression has not been very good since he came to this area. He looked first and then smelled, then he bent down and inserted his hand into the depths of the hole, feeling something, and finally said angrily,
"It's true. The thief is so hateful. He actually stole the important treasure of my Meng family. He deserves to be killed!"
This was the first time Meng Zhao saw Lu Zhong like this, and Lu Le was even more shocked.
In his memory, it was rare that Lu Zhong was so angry.
And whenever someone offends Lu Zhong, the outcome will not be good.
"Uncle Zhong, what are you doing?"
When Lu Zhong heard Meng Zhao's voice, he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly suppressed his strange emotions and said,
"I just discovered some new situations, so I became angry and lost my manners. Master, please forgive me."
Then he changed his voice and said to Meng Zhao,
"Master, can you see something strange about the stone in this old slave's hand?"
As he spoke, he spread his hand, and in his palm lay a very ordinary stone, oval shape, and brown texture.
It was no different from the one in the child's hand before. Lu Le looked at it again and again and didn't feel anything was wrong.
In fact, Meng Zhao didn't have that kind of outstanding eyesight or rich experience, but he couldn't resist the magic of the sky mirror, so he felt it slightly with the help of the mirror, and hesitated,
"The surface of this stone seems to have more brilliance than usual?"
In fact, Meng Zhao sensed that there was some essence in the stones, which was the kind of essence that warriors extracted when cultivating their internal strength, and it was even more pure and vast.
Just to avoid arousing Lu Zhong's suspicion, he deliberately said that he only saw the brilliance on the surface of the stone.
Lu Zhong originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that Meng Zhao could really see the clues and said with approval,
"The young master really has good eyesight. In fact, it is not a light, but a kind of fluctuation of vitality, which was sensed by you.
Therefore, I feel that the brilliance above is flowing and dazzling.
It was precisely because of the appearance of this stone that the old slave discovered that there was something behind the burning of the medicine field. "
"This kind of stone is called the Earth Spirit Stone in ancient books. It is a product that can only be nourished and conceived by a geomantic treasure land. Although the body is a stone, it contains vitality and is mostly used for forging weapons."
Meng Zhao looked at Lu Zhong in confusion. If that was the case, Lu Zhong wouldn't be so angry, right?
Sure enough, Lu Zhong went on to say,
"And this kind of earth spirit stone is actually just a companion product, and it's hard to say how precious it is.
The real essence spawned by this Feng Shui treasure land should be a treasure called the Earth Spirit Pearl. "
Seeing that Meng Zhao still looked ignorant and ill-informed, Lu Zhong patiently explained to him what the Earth Spirit Pearl was.
The Earth Spirit Pearl is a kind of bead made by highly condensed vitality and combined with earth and stone. It is an extremely mysterious and precious treasure. In terms of grade, it is ranked among the three grades of Heavenly Treasure, Earth Treasure, and Mortal Treasure, and it is located in the same column as Earth Treasure.
For example, the jasper beads that Meng Zhao is playing with have the functions of meditating, improving physical fitness, and assisting in the cultivation of internal energy. However, in terms of comparison, they are just ordinary objects and are very different from earthly treasures.
The most common and intuitive effect of this kind of earth spirit bead is to enhance people's internal strength without any side effects.
Using Meng Zhao's thinking to understand, there is endless and countless vitality power in the world, which is the original power of martial arts.
Generally speaking, only innate warriors can absorb and utilize this vitality.
This is also the reason why Lu Zhong can sense the fluctuation of vitality in the earth spirit stone.
If it weren't for the mysterious power of the Sky Mirror, Meng Zhao would not have been able to detect the abnormality of this stone.
The essence of flesh and blood, the essence of herbs, and the essence contained in grains and grains are all secondary powers after the transformation and loss of the vitality of heaven and earth. They are softer and fairer, and are more suitable for absorption by acquired warriors.
But this does not mean that acquired warriors cannot improve their internal strength by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. There will always be some exceptions.
For example, possessing a certain special physique, using a certain treasure, or being located in a place where the vitality of heaven and earth is so strong that it can be embodied, can break this barrier.
The Earth Spirit Pearl is a treasure that allows acquired warriors to directly use the vitality of heaven and earth to cultivate their internal strength.
It is equivalent to adding a buff to the body that runs all the time and provides energy. It can be said to be a top-notch cultivation resource.
In addition, Earth Spirit Beads can also be used to cast magical weapons, create inheritance items, remove toxins and heal injuries, set up some kind of grand formation, etc.
However, for Meng Zhao, the importance of the Earth Spirit Pearl in inner strength cultivation is far higher than other uses.
In terms of martial arts practice, as long as Meng Zhao has enough energy points, he can use the sky mirror to improve his martial arts practice, or even integrate and optimize martial arts. The future is bright.
However, the cultivation of internal strength is not as good as practicing martial arts and improving one's realm. It requires actual energy transformation.
For the time being, this Earth Spirit Pearl is a match made in heaven for Meng Zhao.
