041. The Embryo of Divine Sword (Part 1)
This kind of stone is not only because it is specialized in the Wufuqiu area, but also because it is a treasure for refining magic weapons. When Huwa was in Baixi Village, he saw Baixi Ying's family collecting a jasper short sword. It was a magic weapon that was taken away by Beixi and used in combat. Huwa only now knows that its material is Wufu stone, but the technique of refining weapons is not very clever.
As a mineral, warrior stone usually appears with another mineral, which is a thick stone shell wrapped outside it. This stone shell is different from other rocks and is suitable for grinding into stone swords and stone axes. It is not only sharp but also has better toughness, is not so brittle, and is relatively difficult to break.
The stone shell of the wufu stone is formed during the natural incubation of the wufu stone. The impurities of the wufu stone penetrate into the surrounding rock layers, and the most essence left in the center is the beautiful stone. This kind of stone shell can be used to process various stone tools, and can be processed into stone treasures by experts using weapon refining techniques, but it is far less precious than the real wufu stone. It is just a relatively special stone.
Yanfeng is familiar with the specialties in this area, and what he said just now is all the instincts. What is really valuable about treasures is the skill of refining and building kung fu, and just the stone shell and sword embryo cannot be worth too much money.
Hanxiong held the sword embryo and asked Huwa in confusion: "Mr. Xiaolu, there are also stores in the shops we are shopping today that have not yet refined. Everyone saw it and studied and discussed for a long time. Unexpectedly, they could buy treasures that can be refined here. I believe that the owners of those shops are not proficient in refining weapons and dare not ask anyone to do anything, so they directly sold the beautiful stones.
There are also decorative daggers made of stone shells of warrior stones. Everyone has played with them and studied them. You are watching them. We have seen the stone stones and stone shells today. You cannot not know them? With your cultivation level, you cannot be too tragic. I think this sword embryo is better than all the swords in the shop just now. You must have seen that it has other mystery, tell me!"
Huwa explained patiently: "I have been visiting the market these three days, studied the beautiful stones of Wufu, and studied more objects made of stone shells, and have been sensing and exploring their physical properties. But only this object is made of neither Wufu stone nor stone shells, which is unique in this market."
Hanxiong said in surprise: "What is it? It is clearly the stone shell of the Wufu Stone! Will so many people admit their mistakes?"
Yanfeng also sneered: "Mr. Xiaolu, the people here have been dealing with Wufushi for generations. They are much more familiar with this kind of thing than you. This is not the stone shell of Wufushi. What else can it be?"
Huwa narrowed his eyes and said, "It is because I am too familiar with you and can recognize you at a glance, so I don't pay much attention. When I saw it on the first day in the market, I thought it was made of the stone shell of the Wufu stone, but I always felt something was wrong. Its physical properties are different from all the stone shell objects in the market, and it is closer to the beautiful stone of the Wufu, but it is also different."
Yanfeng interrupted again: "Your feeling is normal, what's so strange about this? The shell of the Wufu Stone is originally produced by the precipitated impurities in the process of natural creation and formation of the surrounding rocks. The more thorough the impurities are precipitated, the purer the Wufu Stone will be; and the surrounding rock layers are different, and of course there are different physical properties."
Huwa ignored his words and said: "The next day I studied the warrior stones in the shop and various stone shells on the stalls. Then I came to observe the sword embryo. I found that although it looked like a stone shell, its physical nature was very simple, both like a purest stone shell and the most impure beauty stone."
Although his voice was small, people around him could hear it. The old man who sold the goods raised his eyelids and looked at him and said, "I have an impression of this young gentleman. He will come to me every day for three days. He will touch the sword embryo for a long time every time."
Huwa smiled and continued, "The third day was yesterday, and I came again. I picked up the sword embryo and suddenly understood what it was!"
These words had aroused everyone's interest, and everyone asked in unison: "What the hell is it?"
Huwa explained slowly: "The martial arts stone was born in the long ancient times, in the depths of the underground rock layers, but who have seen it not yet formed when it was conceived? The material of this sword embryo is the real rough stone, which is the original source stone.
It did not precipitate any so-called impurities into the surrounding rock formations, and the so-called beautiful stone of warrior is contained in it. Therefore, it itself is the purest stone shell and also a whole unformed stone of warrior. An elder once told me that everything in the world has its own texture, and the texture is also changing. The texture I feel from the sword embryo is the original origin of the stone of warrior."
Hanxiong asked, "Then what kind of spiritual use does it have?"
Huwa glanced at the old man selling goods and pondered: "If I said that, I wonder if this old man would raise the price?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I have said a long time ago that this is a sword embryo made by the essence of the martial arts stone. You masters with supernatural powers can use it to refine magic weapons, so you fight this price! You can buy it if you think it is worth it. It is also your own blessing. I am a man who is doing business without any mercy. Since I have already quoted the price, how can I repent? But if you come again next time, I may have to raise the price!"
Huwa had to smile bitterly. He already knew how the old man did business. He came three days ago, and the old man took the initiative to quote him three times, which was higher than the other time. It seemed that the more hesitant the buyer, the more expensive he would sell. So today he simply didn't come forward to ask the price. Hanxiong went over to ask first. The old man reported to Hanxiong, but it was the first time that Huwa gave the first price.
At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, took the sword embryo and said, "Let me see!... Old man, I bought this sword."
Everyone looked back and found that they were the owner of the shop just now. The boss was also a monk, and his cultivation seemed to be quite low. He kept following everyone to watch the fun. He also heard what Huwa said just now, and sensed it with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, he found that there was something special about this sword embryo, so he started first.
Hanxiong shouted dissatisfiedly: "It was clearly what I like first, and I want to buy it too. How can you grab it?"
The shop owner said, "I didn't snatch it from you! The sword embryo is in my hands at this moment, and you haven't paid yet. If I want to buy it, I will buy it first."
Hanxiong took a step forward, picked up his sleeves and wanted to "discuss" with the boss. However, Huwa calmly grabbed Hanxiong and asked the boss with a smile: "Sir, have you brought the money?"
The boss's face changed slightly, as he walked out of the store just now, so of course he didn't bring any money. In fact, Huwa had known for a long time that he had not had time to get the money. The old man offered a price not a small amount, and no one would have put so much money on his body. Apart from Huwa, there was only Han Xiong who could take it out.
Hanxiong reacted quickly, and then took out a handful of yellow and orange ingots from his arms. His burly figure and big hands, he put a full handful of gold in front of the old man and said, "Old man, pay you money, I'll buy that sword."
He didn't look at the amount of gold, anyway, it was enough. But the old man took out several pieces and said to him: "Sir, you have given too much, take them back... All the mountain goods and linen on the ground are given to you, and you can just wrap them and take them away."
The shop owner quickly shouted, "Old man, don't worry! Wait a moment, I'll go back to get the money now, I can give you double the price!"
He shook his head and said, "If I speak untrustfully like this, do I still want to do business? Who is willing to deal with me in the future!...I have already collected the money, and the sword belongs to this gentleman. If you want to buy it at a double price, then discuss it with him."
Hanxiong didn't expect that after listening to Huwa's advice today, there was such a great benefit! Even if he didn't keep the sword embryo himself, he could make a lot of money by taking action in a blink of an eye. He snatched the sword embryo from the boss and said, "Take my things! I keep this sword embryo myself. No matter how much you pay, I won't sell it!" Then he turned around and said to Huwa, "Mr. Xiaolu, what kind of spiritual and wonderful use does this thing have? You can tell it all?"
Huwa nodded with a smile, and explained in detail-
If this object is deep in the underground rock layer, in a suitable environment, after a long natural creation, it may form a stone shell in the surrounding rock layer. The most central part is the beautiful stone. Whether it is pure depends on whether this process is completed. This may be equivalent to the "refining" process of nature in heaven and earth.
But this rough stone that only appears deep in the underground rock layer, and somehow appears unexpectedly on the surface. This kind of thing is rare and has a unique and wonderful function. It is a thing that can be created. Natural creation is just one way, turning it into a beautiful stone and a thick stone shell wrapped outside.
If the magic power is used to sacrifice and refine the warm and nourishing stone, the magic power exerted will replace the natural creation, and it will undergo different changes as the realm of the sacrificer becomes higher and higher. In other words, this object can not only be refined into a magic weapon, but also a magic weapon that can grow with the sacrificer's own realm. According to its natural weapon shape, of course, it is most suitable to refine into a sword.
What's even more rare is that this rough stone has not yet undergone any natural process of creation, and no one has ever sacrificed it with magic power. If anyone sacrificed and refined this sword embryo from the beginning, the process is uninterrupted and his cultivation is getting higher and higher, it will continuously grow into a low-grade treasure, medium-grade treasure, high-grade treasure, low-grade magic weapon, medium-grade magic weapon, and high-grade magic weapon.
