I fly with a sword in the magic academy
Chapter 167 The Essence of Tao
"Everyone, His Highness the Third Prince has spoken. He wants to gamble with others here. Is there any fellow Taoist who is willing to accompany me?" Suddenly, there was a noise from the front.
"I'll come." Jiang Yue walked over.
"Come on." The third prince glanced at Jiang Yue, and then took the lead in walking forward.
Lanyun Temple is divided into nine areas. The further you go in, the more expensive the stones will be, and the probability of cutting out rare items will also increase.
"How about just choosing the ingredients here?"
The third prince stopped in the seventh level area and looked back at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue pinched her chin, thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to go directly to the ninth level area. Wouldn't it be easier to decide the outcome in one go?"
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar around him. In the ninth level area, the stones there were extremely expensive, and few people would go there to choose stones.
Of course, for those who come from the Xuanmen Holy Land and aristocratic families, they can't afford it, they just don't think it's necessary.
After all, it's not possible to ship the goods every time. It's really not worth spending so many spiritual stones only to have them go down the drain.
"In the ninth level area, a pebble-sized stone there can be sold for a sky-high price of 30,000 kilograms of mid-grade spiritual stone. Most people can't afford it."
"After spending such a huge amount of money, even if something is actually cut out, it may not be possible to get back the money. Many people try to get lucky, but in the end they lose all their money."
People around them are discussing that although they are of extraordinary origin, they cannot compare with those transcendent powers. The ninth level area of Lanyun Temple is still too high for them.
The third prince pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, then let's go to the ninth level area to select materials."
At this time, a young man in purple came over. This man's facial features were extremely handsome, his figure was tall and straight, he was majestic and noble, he was the young master of the Liyue Temple——[Dan Tai Jing].
He seemed to be the reincarnation of a demon god, which was extremely valuable. He said that if Jiang Yue and the third prince cut out any rare treasures later, they Liyue Temple could help auction them.
Liyue Temple is the largest auction house in Tai'an City and has a great reputation. Although it is a demon clan force, its reputation has always been very good.
The ninth level area of Lanyun Temple is very deserted. Occasionally, some ancestor-level figures will come to pick stones, hoping to cut out the magic medicine that can extend life, but the monks among the younger generation basically have no Several people will gather here.
There are experts here, and only two or three people are allowed to enter at a time. After all, the stones in this heavy area are not simple, so we have to pay attention to them.
An old woman with loose hair sat cross-legged under a tall banyan tree. The third prince and the ninth princess paid the entrance fee and walked in first.
Jiang Yue also reluctantly paid three thousand middle-grade spiritual stones as the entrance fee. As for the others who came to join in the fun, they gathered around the courtyard wall and watched, not daring to go beyond the rules set by the Jade Holy Land.
As soon as she walked into this heavy area, Jiang Yue felt an aura that she couldn't tell whether it was strange or mysterious, coming towards her face. It was so strong that it gave her the illusion that she had returned to the ancient realm of fairies.
Obviously, all the stones in this heavy area were mined closest to the ancient fairyland, otherwise there would be no such strong aura.
The Third Prince and the Ninth Princess were obviously not here for the first time, and they looked familiar.
"What bet do you want?" The third prince looked back at Jiang Yue.
"You and I each choose a stone, and whoever cuts out the most valuable thing will win. The losing party not only has to pay the other party the total amount of the stone chosen and the items cut out, but also needs to pay an additional 300,000 middle-grade spirits. Shi, how about it? Do you dare to bet?"
"I can afford to lose and compensate, but you don't leave any escape route for yourself. What if you lose and can't afford to compensate?" The third prince had a faint smile on his face.
"If I really lose, I will just leave it to His Highness to deal with it, and I don't think I will lose."
After making the bet, the third prince and the ninth princess walked forward and began to select suitable stones.
Jiang Yue walked to another direction, while carefully observing the stones along the way, she secretly sent a voice message to Xiaozhu who was hiding in the secret territory of Zi Mansion and asked: "Little boy, how much do you know about the ancient fairyland?"
"That place is very evil. It is said that there is a great terror sleeping in it."
"The Great Terror? Do you mean those taboo existences that can compete with the ancient saints?" Jiang Yue was frightened.
"I don't know. Anyway, it is a very terrifying existence. It cannot be suppressed by a saint." Xiaozhuo said.
"The great sleeping terror? Do you think they will wake up one day?"
"It is indeed a possibility."
"This..." Hearing this, Jiang Yue took in a breath of cold air unconsciously. If all the taboo existences that can compete with saints wake up one day, in this era when saints do not appear, who will Can it compete head-on?
"If that day comes, it will definitely be an unimaginable disaster..." Jiang Yue felt shuddering and shook her head, not daring to think about it any more.
The ninth level area covers a large area. The stones here are counted every day and have specific placements.
"It is indeed a stone gambling venue opened in the Holy Land. If you don't have a little background, you really can't afford it." Jiang Yue muttered in her heart. The stones here are ridiculously expensive. A rough stone the size of a pebble can be sold. There are tens of thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones.
"Have any good things been cut out here before?" Jiang Yue turned to look at an old man following behind who was responsible for unraveling the stone.
"The Holy Spirit Stone is the most common. Occasionally, one or two lucky people will prescribe a very rare magic medicine. It mainly depends on the person's luck. If you are lucky, it is possible to prescribe anything." The old man Jie Shi said with a smile.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue paused and her eyes fell on a stone the size of a washbasin. The outline of this stone resembled a human's facial features, with matching eyes, ears, mouth and nose. At first glance, it looked like a human head. .
"Is this natural?" Jiang Yue pointed at the stone and asked in surprise.
"Of course." The old man Jie Shi nodded.
Jiang Yue stepped forward to check carefully, and indeed found no trace of artificial carving.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Jade Holy Land has superb methods and can make it impossible for people to see any traces.
"Little boy, what do you think of this stone?" Jiang Yue secretly sent a voice message to Xiaozhu.
"This stone... is a bit evil. It actually makes me feel a little anxious." Xiao Yingzhu said in surprise.
"My friend, have you chosen the stone?" At this moment, the third prince came over from not far away, and he had already chosen the stone.
That stone was only the size of a wine jar, but the price was as high as 60,000 mid-grade spiritual stones. If it had been anyone else, like Jiang Yue, they would have been so angry that they would vomit blood on the spot if they didn't cut out some rare substances.
"I want to bet with you too." The Ninth Princess also held a rough stone weighing two kilograms in her arms, and looked at Jiang Yue with a pair of big watery eyes.
"Okay, I'll bet with you, just don't cry if you lose later~" Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
The Ninth Princess wrinkled her nose, turned her head to one side, and muttered in a low voice: "I won't cry, no! I won't lose to you!"
"Which one should I choose?" Jiang Yue held her chin and thought carefully. She secretly used the double-pupil eyeballs that were warmed in the secret of Zifu, but unfortunately it couldn't provide much help.
Because these stones were mined too close to the Ancient Fairy Realm, they were tainted with too much of a strange aura, making it impossible for the double-eyed man's eyeballs to directly discern reality.
Moreover, the stones here are often priced at tens of thousands of spirit stones. Her family only has a small amount of money and cannot afford to lose, so she has to treat it with caution.
"Just pick a piece based on your feeling. You are an innate Taoist fetus. All spiritual substances in the world will be in harmony with you, and there will be guidance from somewhere." Xiaoyingzhu used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice.
"Does the innate Tao fetus have such perverted abilities?" Jiang Yue was surprised.
Innate Tao Fetus, this kind of physique was the first time she heard Chu Ruozhao mention it last time at Yunhai Fengxie. The reason why the main body Shi Daohan cultivated so fast was precisely because of this kind of physique.
She didn't expect that the constitution of the innate Tao fetus could be used in stone gambling.
"Do you think it's a joke to be born close to the Tao? There are only two or three people with this kind of physique since ancient times. However, because you are a spiritual body, the innate Tao embryo is not perfect, and there are still defects. Wait for you in the future. Once you fuse it with the main body, you will know how incredible this physique is."
After listening to Xiao Yuzhu's words, Jiang Yue walked straight to a stone looking for the feeling in her heart.
This stone is two to three meters high and weighs more than several thousand kilograms, but the price is very cheap. It only costs 6,500 medium-grade spiritual stones, which is still within Jiang Yue's acceptable range.
She put her palm against the stone, closed her eyes and carefully felt it for a long time before she said, "I want this stone."
The old man who had been following her and was responsible for unraveling the stone came over, took out a special knife and started to unravel the stone, but was stopped by Jiang Yue.
"Let me do it myself." Jiang Yue's palms showed sword energy, and she wanted to open the stone by herself.
"Chichichi..."
Under the cutting of sword energy, layers of stone skin quickly fell off.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a crack opened in the stone, and a bright and dazzling brilliance burst out, as if a shadow rushed out of the crack.
"What it is?!"
"It seems like...a figure?"
"It does look a bit like a human figure. What on earth was fired!?"
The crowd gathered outside the courtyard wall immediately became excited after seeing this scene.
Xiaozhao also rushed out of the secret realm of Zifu with a "swipe" sound, soared into the air, and pounced towards the colorful shadow trail.
At the same time, the old woman sitting cross-legged under the ancient banyan tree suddenly opened her eyes. Two piercing sword-like beams of light shot out of her pupils, and then she stretched out a large handprint and grabbed it high into the sky.
"puff"
With a soft sound, the colorful shadow suddenly exploded, and then quickly annihilated and disappeared. Xiao Yuzhu threw himself into the air and caught nothing.
The old woman's big hand gently touched the air, and a dome made of the Divine Chain of Order, like an upside-down pot lid, sealed off the four-dimensional space of the ninth level area.
"How dare you blame this king for his good deeds, you old man!" Little Yaozhu landed next to Jiang Yue unwillingly, cursing the old woman under the ancient banyan tree in her heart.
"What's going on? What was that thing just now?" Jiang Yue hurriedly asked Xiao Yingzhu.
"The essence of the Tao that has been accumulated for endless years." The little Tao gnashed its teeth. It originally wanted to devour it in one gulp, but who knew that the old woman under the ancient banyan tree had a hand in it, causing the essence of the Tao to be contaminated by the tacky world of mortals? , self-annihilated and dissipated.
"Hurry up and seal this stone, don't let all the essence inside be lost!" Xiaozhuo shouted anxiously, and quickly laid down dozens of layers of forbidden seals, completely suppressing the stone.
"That was... the essence of Tao just now?!"
"To be able to produce something like this, there must be a rare treasure in that stone!"
Everyone gathered outside the courtyard wall was talking a lot, and everyone was so excited that they wanted to rush forward and take a closer look.
Several elders who were sitting in this important area also gathered around and stared at the half-cut stone in front of Jiang Yue for a closer look.
The Third Prince and the Ninth Princess couldn't help but walked over out of curiosity. Even the old woman sitting cross-legged under the ancient banyan tree silently came closer and stared at them for observation.
"Little friend, please continue to unravel the stone."
An elder from Lanyunguan spoke up, wanting to see what kind of treasures this stone contained.
But Jiang Yue shook her head and said: "No, if I continue to unpack the stone, I'm worried that the contents inside will be obliterated by the tackiness of the world like just now."
Some things in the original stone are naturally cultivated and involve the secrets of heaven and earth. They cannot be seen in the light and cannot be contaminated by the tackiness of the world.
The essence of Tao just now was wiped out by heaven and earth because it was contaminated by the tacky world of this world.
The ancients and sages compared the world of mortals to a sea of suffering, a world of filth, and a place of uneasy calamity. The monks were like a small boat struggling to cross the sea of suffering.
The most holy and pure things like the essence of Tao should not appear in this world, and will naturally be rejected and erased by the power of heaven and earth.
"It doesn't matter. There is something here, old man, that can block the detection of heaven and earth. I will give it to you, little friend. You can use this thing to seal it later." An elder of Lanyunguan generously handed over a crystal clear jade box. Leave it to Jiang Yue.
"I have managed to isolate this area of heaven and earth, so feel free to unblock the stone." The old woman also spoke, also wanting to witness what kind of treasures this stone contained.
"Okay." Jiang Yue nodded, and asked Xiao Yuzhu to unlock the forbidden seal, and began to carefully continue to remove the stone. The layers of stone skin quickly fell off, and an unusually cold breath filled the surrounding area. All covered with a layer of frost.
Not long after, a piece of jade that was crystal clear and as smooth as a mirror appeared in front of everyone. It was about the size of a fist and emitted bursts of chill, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly drop by dozens of degrees.
