Chapter 317: Seventy-two forbidden jade slips, recipe for the Meditation Pill
This is actually a very normal thing.
Since this gambling jade slip can become an industry, it must have gone through various tests.
We are facing many high-level monks and top-level strongmen.
In the presence of such beings, even the slightest differences can be discovered.
The reason why this industry is mature is that it has a certain degree of certainty, at least 80% certainty, and can deceive those top powerhouses.
Naturally, it also includes many magical methods.
Since they dare to sell it like this and are not worried about losing money, it is naturally because their aging techniques are sophisticated enough.
In other words, what they took out were actually ancient jade slips.
This is actually a very normal thing.
In the ancient world of immortal cultivation, there were countless cultivators. Almost every low-level cultivator and cultivator at the Qi Refining stage in the world of immortal cultivation could use jade slips.
Correspondingly, there are a great number of jade slips, almost countless.
Among these numerous jade slips, those that record skills and spells are of course very few. Most of them are daily jade slips used by ordinary cultivators. Many of them have even been damaged and are almost worthless.
Of course, there is no need to be afraid, as there are indeed skilled cultivators who can see through the newness or oldness of the jade slip itself.
Because most of the items sold at these stalls are actually ancient jade slips.
However, some ancient jade slips were obtained from certain sects or even from the caves of cultivators, and the chances of them containing magic spells are higher.
Some are piled up in certain warehouses and are like the "account books" of certain forces.
Most are of lower value.
Therefore, gambling on jade slips is really mostly a matter of luck.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no fine products among the old jade slips?
This gambling jade slip can form an industry, so it is impossible that it only records useless things.
There is a high possibility that various spells will be specially engraved inside, including some advanced spells and even top spells.
It is said that there may be some magical powers hidden there.
This is naturally because if an industry wants to thrive, it must achieve sustainable development.
If such an industry leaves a bad impression on countless monks as a money-sucking scam, then it is very likely that it will not be able to develop.
Therefore, some forces will even specifically engrave advanced skills and spells into their encounters.
The probability of this happening is even higher.
After all, the hidden dangers of the ancient jade slips are unknown.
Even a monk would find it difficult to remain calm after failing countless times in a row.
After all, gambling on jade slips, every purchase will not be cheap.
Therefore, in order to maintain balance, some forces would deliberately record more spells, mysteries and methods on the old jade slips.
Although most of them are quite ordinary, at least I got some gains and didn’t lose all my money.
Chen Yushu knew this, but he still moved his mind, and as his mental power spread, he began to carve out magic rune structures one by one.
One, two, three...
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Finally, after seven full breaths, Chen Yushu's eyes moved and opened slightly, and his mental power, at this moment, was concentrated as never before.
Then he scanned the jade slip below.
"Um?
really!
My guess is right.
This divine vision technique can indeed see through the new and the old.
Moreover, one can directly see the number of restrictions on a jade slip."
Chen Yushu was suddenly delighted.
He had already understood the special features of this Divine Vision Technique when he had obtained it from the one favored by God.
Not only can one use spiritual consciousness to spy on other people's cultivation levels, but one can also observe many unknown things in the dark.
See many things that others cannot see.
That's exactly the case at this moment.
Even though at this time, he had only just begun to practice the art of divine vision, its special features had already begun to show.
See through the old and the new!
See the number of restrictions on each jade slip.
Being able to see through the new and the old can prevent him from being deceived by jade slips that appear to be old.
Seeing the number of restrictions on each jade slip means that he can see the value of the corresponding jade slip.
After all, no matter what kind of cultivator they are, they will set more restrictions on those relatively important jade slips to ensure the safety of the contents inside the jade slips.
But if they are ordinary, unimportant jade slips, then setting three or six restrictions would be enough.
It is worth mentioning that restrictions are a variant of formations, which are a kind of sealing method used by cultivators with the help of their mental power.
It is similar to the Soul Sealing Technique he learned, except that the Soul Sealing Technique is a complete spell restriction that will naturally disappear over time.
The restrictions are set with the help of the jade slip itself and can be preserved for a long time.
Of course, the power is relatively weak.
Ordinary cultivators can easily break it.
Of course, if one does not know how to break the ban, it is possible that the jade slip will be damaged, thereby destroying and erasing the contents inside.
Therefore, if one can master the skill of breaking the ban, he will be highly respected among the cultivators.
Let’s get back to the topic.
At this time, Chen Yushu used the technique of divine vision.
It was soon discovered that among these hundreds of jade slips, nearly a hundred of them had obvious signs of aging.
There are also some differences in the degree of newness, some are only five years old, while others are ten or even twenty years old.
But there is no doubt about it.
These jade slips must not be of high value.
So, Chen Yushu turned his attention to the remaining pile of more than two hundred old jade slips.
"Sure enough, it's a bet on jade slips.
It's the word "gamble" that matters.
If you are lucky, you can get good things and powerful inheritance from the jade slips.
If you are unlucky, it will just be a waste.
This wave of nearly thirty jade slips were all sealed with the three most basic prohibitions.
Although it does not mean that the fewer the prohibitions, the more ordinary the content recorded in them.
However, if the cultivator who crafted the jade slip didn't put in the effort to create more advanced restrictions, then the contents recorded within the jade slip would naturally be difficult to gain the other party's attention."
Chen Yushu thought to himself.
He quickly looked at the next pile of jade slips.
“This time, there are two restrictions with quite a large number.
One is fifteen, and the other is eighteen.
Obviously, these two jade slips should be more precious than ordinary jade slips."
Suddenly, Chen Yushu's eyes lit up when he saw that among the pile of jade slips, there were obviously two jade slips with more restrictions, and he was delighted.
Then he looked at the stall owner calmly and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask you earlier, how much is this gambling jade slip worth?"
“Thirty taels of silver!
Alternatively, if you are willing to trade with Spirit Stones, then one low-grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for five."
A low-grade spirit stone is generally worth one hundred taels of silver. Of course, the price is even higher on the black market. A low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred and twenty or even one hundred and thirty taels of silver.
After all, spirit stones are scarce, and one less is one less when one is used.
According to the stall owner, the purchasing power of this low-grade spirit stone is as high as one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Of course, the wool comes from the sheep.
From this we can also see how huge the profits are from gambling on jade slips.
"good.
Then I’ll pick a few first.”
Chen Yushu nodded.
First pick out the two with more restrictions.
Just about to look away.
His eyes suddenly moved.
He found a jade slip.
This jade slip looks similar to other jade slips in appearance, but when viewed with the divine vision technique, it appears to be very new. In fact, its surface is obviously smoother and rounder than other jade slips. In essence, it is also a new jade slip that has been "aged".
If that were the case, Chen Yushu would naturally not care and would just skip it without choosing.
However, when he used his divine vision to sweep over it, he found that there were a large number of restrictions on it.
Seventy-two prohibitions?
What kind of jade slip requires so many restrictions to be engraved on it?
You know, ordinary cultivators cannot restrain seventy-two restrictions continuously. If you calculate the strength of the cultivator, you must be a cultivator at least at the Entry-level Realm to be able to engrave more than seventy-two restrictions.
Moreover, even if ordinary cultivators can do this, they rarely have the energy to engrave so many restrictions on an ordinary jade slip.
“Therefore, this jade slip most likely records a powerful inheritance.
Even if it's just a scrap jade slip, it's worth buying just for the seventy-two restrictions."
Thinking of this, Chen Yushu picked up the jade slip again.
"Fifteen restrictions, eighteen restrictions, twenty-four restrictions..."
Next, Chen Yushu began to check these jade slips one by one, and soon saw several with more than ten restrictions.
As for those within the top ten, although there were many, Chen Yushu did not pick them out.
In the end, a total of twenty jade slips were selected.
"A total of six hundred taels of silver, or four low-grade spirit stones."
The stall owner glanced at the jade slips selected by Chen Yushu and spoke quickly.
"good!"
Nodding, Chen Yushu took out six hundred taels of silver directly from the storage bag.
The stall owner was not disappointed about this.
Silver is also circulated among the monks. After all, although the monks who walk in the underworld are considered to be cultivators, they are not separated from the human race.
Therefore, silver is a well-deserved hard currency.
Even if converted into spirit stones, six hundred taels of silver would be enough for him to exchange for five low-grade spirit stones.
The transaction was completed. Chen Yushu refused the stall owner's request to introduce him to a cultivator who had mastered the method of breaking the ban, and turned around and left.
Of course, Chen Yushu didn't go far, because he soon stopped at a stall selling spiritual materials and precious medicines.
of course.
The medicinal materials used by Chen Yushu to refine Yuanqi Dan, Zhuanggu Dan, Jushen Dan and other elixirs were all supplied by the Liu family pharmacy.
But in addition to these elixirs, he also has many elixir recipes, and some of the spiritual materials needed for these elixir recipes are not something that the Liu family pharmacy can supply.
And they are all relatively precious, so he needs to enter such monk exchange meetings to search for them.
After some selection, a look of satisfaction appeared on Chen Yushu's face.
Although most of the materials on the stall are relatively common, there are also two or three relatively precious and rare materials that he has collected.
"It's really worth the trip."
Chen Yushu put all the materials into the storage bag, and then entered the room with Jiuhulu and the God's Favored One.
This room was very spacious, and a small auction was being held there.
In fact, the model is very simple. A monk comes forward, takes out his treasure, introduces it, and then quotes a reserve price, allowing people to bid freely.
The items auctioned were also varied, including magical instruments, spells, techniques, ghost instruments, spiritual materials, elixir recipes, and talisman making methods...
It's just a pity.
Most of them are used by low-level monks and are suitable for monks below three incense sticks.
For cultivators like Chen Yushu who are at the Dao Entry Realm or above, it has little effect.
It was not until a cultivator came forward and took out an oval-shaped elixir that he showed a hint of interest.
“The Meditation Pill.
As the name suggests, this is an elixir that can enhance the cultivator's state of meditation.
If you are in shallow concentration, you can use this elixir to enter the level of small concentration or even great concentration.
Over time, if you have so many insights into the levels of minor concentration or even major concentration, it will be naturally easy for you to elevate your concentration state to the level of minor concentration or even major concentration.
If you are already at the great concentration level.
With this elixir, there is a certain chance that you can enter a state of constant concentration... In short, the effectiveness of this elixir is unquestionable.
Starting now, ten low-grade spirit stones.
If you want it, please bid!"
The man made the final decision, and then a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
But the scene was silent.
One elixir costs ten low-grade spirit stones. Although it has extraordinary effects, everyone is not a fool. Not to mention the time it takes for the elixir to take effect after taking it.
The key point is that this kind of elixir obviously needs to be taken multiple times before it can really work.
It's just a meditation pill, it's completely meaningless.
Besides, the one in his hand was obviously an 'ancient pill', which was probably something he had obtained from breaking into some ruins.
As the name suggests, the spiritual energy inside the ancient pill is very likely to be consumed as time goes by.
There will also be countless poisons left inside.
If taken, it may not only fail to work, but may even cause erysipelas and destroy all meridians.
Therefore, most people were wary of Gu Dan.
There is no other reason, there are too many people who have been infected, and even many cultivators have people around them who "take ancient pills regardless of their life or death".
Of course, I will be wary.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
No one made an offer for more than ten seconds. According to the rules, this meant that no one was interested in his stuff, so those who knew what was good would naturally leave.
But he seemed a little unwilling to give up. After thinking for a while, he reached out and patted the storage bag, saying, "What if I add this Meditation Pill recipe?"
"Recipe for the Meditation Pill?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.
It was just a simple elixir, and an ancient one at that, so they were not very interested.
But if it is a pill recipe, it’s different.
If the effects described by the other party are accurate, then they can play a huge role for any force.
It is extremely beneficial for the growth and cultivation of disciples.
"Fifteen low-grade spirit stones!"
Soon, someone made a bid.
"Twenty low-grade spirit stones."
"I'll give you twenty-eight!"
"Thirty low-grade spirit stones!"
…
The sound of bidding followed one after another.
