Chapter 99: A-Chun's Secret
Half an hour later.
The accompanying cook outside the woods had already prepared lunch, and Wei Changtian and Liang Qin walked out of the woods one after another.
Wei Changtian has already taught Liang Qin the most basic methods of practicing the Guichen Sword. After she practices on her own for a few days, she can formally start learning the moves.
But that's not the point.
The key point is why Liang Qin's attitude towards him suddenly changed so much?
What does "at least you still have me" mean? This sentence sounds so ambiguous! Wei Changtian never thought that this was the result of Liang Qin's imagination. He pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he was too lazy to think about it anymore.
never mind.
The worst that can happen is just to have one more bed at home, no big problem.
…
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and then prepared to continue their journey.
This place is still two days' journey from Shuzhou City, but since they have already entered Shuzhou, Liang Zhen is unwilling to stop and go as before, and hopes to return to his old nest as soon as possible.
However, while everyone was busy making preparations before setting off, Wei Changtian sneakily stood in front of the boundary stone again, holding the hilt of the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand.
Tsk tsk tsk, the Immortal-Locking Stone.
This is a good thing!
I don't know about its other uses, but at least it's good for armor! It can block the true qi of heaven and earth, which means that all internal force attacks are ineffective against it.
Isn't this the magic immunity effect! I already have the inner armor I got from Zhang's house. If I add this armor... Wow, wouldn't it be both physical and magic resistance!
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. He looked over the large boundary stone several times before he finally found a place that was relatively easy to cut.
It's a small protrusion, quite thin, and you should be able to cut it off with a few more cuts.
Having made up his mind, he did not hesitate. He looked up at the busy crowd not far away, then drew his sword and slashed at the bulge with all his strength.
“Crack!”
“Ka-ka-ka!”
Without taking the time to study how deep he had cut this time, Wei Changtian swung out seven or eight more times in a row, each of which landed on the same crack.
“Plop!”
Finally, a stone about the size of a fist fell off the boundary stone, and the cut surface reflected green light like metal.
Wei Changtian picked up the stone happily, wondering if it was big enough to make a set of inner armor.
If it is ground into powder and combined with other ingredients, it should be enough.
But the effect may be compromised...wait a minute!
That's not right! Wei Changtian looked at the stone in his hand and suddenly froze.
It was hard enough to cut the Immortal Locking Stone by itself, how could it be ground into powder?!
Damn! Isn't this all in vain? If I can't grind it into powder, it's hard to make a breastplate with this little thing in my hand! Unless... I cut a bigger piece.
But this would be too much noise...
Wei Changtian frowned and looked a little confused, and didn't even notice Liang Zhen walking behind him.
"Changtian...what are you doing?"
"!!!"
"Uncle Liang..."
Wei Changtian forced a smile, turned back and said awkwardly: "Well, I wanted to try how deep I could cut, but I accidentally cut off a small piece of stone..."
"Um?"
Liang Zhen glanced at the stone in Wei Changtian's hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is not an accident..."
"this……"
Wei Changtian saw that he was exposed, so he stopped making excuses and said directly, "Uncle Liang, I actually wanted to get a piece of stone to make an inner armor or something."
Liang Zhen was stunned: "Making armor? Using this Immortal Locking Stone?"
"yes!"
Wei Changtian said as a matter of course: "It is both hard and not afraid of internal forces. This kind of stone is simply the best material for making protective gear."
"hiss……"
Liang Zhen gasped and was stunned for a long while, then suddenly clapped his hands fiercely: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it before!"
"Changtian, your piece is too small!"
"Come! Let me help you!"
???
Wei Changtian stared in amazement at Liang Zhen who had already drawn his sword, and swallowed subconsciously.
"Changtian, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get started!"
"Come, come..."
…
“Da da da da…”
It was already dusk when the sound of dense horse hooves rang out again.
As the sun set, more than a hundred riders and seven or eight heavy carriages quickly disappeared, leaving behind only a few burnt-out bonfires and a boundary stone.
The boundary stone is about ten feet high, with an uneven surface and a single word "Shu" engraved on it.
In fact, if Wei Changtian and Liang Zhen hadn’t been so exhausted at the end, the word “Shu” would have disappeared…
But one should not be too greedy. Taking half of it is enough.
"...This is the Immortal Locking Stone. Think about whether it has any other uses."
In the carriage, Wei Changtian casually threw a small stone to Zhang San. Although he was very tired, his face was filled with joy.
"Sir."
Zhang San carefully examined the Immortal Locking Stone for a while, and then tried it with his inner strength. Then he said thoughtfully: "In addition to being used as a protective gear, this stone may also be used as a poison."
"poison?"
Wei Changtian was puzzled: "Is this thing poisonous?"
"I don't know if it's poisonous or not, but since it can block internal energy..."
Zhang San narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If we grind it into powder and give it to a cultivator to take, at the very least, their breathing will be disordered, and at the worst, their meridians will be blocked."
"That makes sense..."
Wei Changtian nodded slightly and praised: "Zhang San, I don't know if the Immortal Locking Stone can be used as poison, but you are indeed poisonous enough!"
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Zhang San remained calm and handed the Immortal Locking Stone to Yang Liushi.
Yang Liushi did not have such a sinister suggestion. She just thought that this thing could be used for storage to block some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emitted by the treasure itself.
Well, this is a good idea. It turns out that there is strength in numbers.
Wei Changtian nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to take the Immortal Locking Stone back, he suddenly noticed that Achun, who was sitting next to Yang Liushi, had a strange look on his face.
It's the kind of paleness caused by lack of oxygen.
What's going on? It was normal just now.
"Ah Chun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wei Changtian asked immediately after taking the Immortal Locking Stone, and Ah Chun seemed to have finally caught her breath at this time, and hurriedly waved her little hand and said: "Master, I'm fine, I just felt a little short of breath just now, but I'm fine now."
"Is that so..."
Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi looked at each other, while Yuan'er had already poured a cup of hot tea for Achun and considerately added a piece of candy in it.
"Thank you, Sister Yuan'er..."
Perhaps feeling that he had caused trouble for everyone, Ah Chun lowered his head in embarrassment, and it took him a long while to pick up the teacup and start sipping tea.
Seeing the little girl's complexion gradually returning to normal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Wei Changtian, who suddenly frowned, slowly took out the Immortal Locking Stone and placed it directly in front of Achun.
“Hmm…”
As if some strange chemical reaction had occurred, Ah Chun's little face began to turn pale again almost instantly.
