Chapter 105: Bloodstone Jungle, Level 3 Transcendent
Private mining is illegal. Unless handed in.
Some people said that the possibility was not high: "How can you dig up a mine so easily? Are you overthinking it?"
"That's not necessarily true. We've dug up shells and conchs, so there might be some good stuff there."
Li Xiang hid at the back and peeked at the screen, thinking that this generation of fans had such a rich imagination that they actually got everything they predicted right.
But they have no evidence, so they can say whatever they want.
He looked at the searchlight. The main reason was that the light was too bright before, so it caused refraction, causing a flash of red light in the cave.
He bent down and found the stone from the pile of rocks again. He carefully observed the bright red part under the searchlight. It was indeed dazzling red, like blood. The base is still very transparent.
"This is not a ruby, it should be a bloodstone."
Li Xiang came outside, took out the white tooth dagger, and cut the stone like cutting an apple. Soon, he cut out the dazzling bloodstone. It was a palm-sized piece, about 20 cm long, 5 cm wide and 5 cm high. It had a delicate texture and was as crystal clear as jade. There were wisps of bright red floating in it, as if fresh blood was flowing.
Very beautiful.
The "blood content" of this bloodstone is at least 70%, making it a rare treasure.
Of course, the red color in the bloodstone is actually cinnabar, so the more is not necessarily better. If it is 100% "chicken blood", it will be a piece of cinnabar instead of a stone with high hardness.
The bloodstone in Li Xiang's hand is harder than ordinary stones. He can feel it when scraping off the stone skin with the "White Tooth Dagger" because it requires more strength than scraping ordinary stones.
He has perfected the control of his own "strength", reaching the state of making heavy things seem light, and light things seem heavy, with great precision and attention to detail. If one must measure it with data, he can feel a difference of about 5%.
In other words, when he weighed a pound of something in his hand, he could detect an error of about half an ounce (25 grams).
This is quite abnormal. When you go to the market to buy vegetables, you can tell whether the goods are short-changed just by picking them up.
But precisely because of this, there is still a lot of room for improvement. For example, can a pound of something be accurate to 1 gram, 0.1 gram, 0.01 gram, 0.001 gram, or 0.0001 gram? It's just like a balance.
For those who are at a high level, it is achievable.
Li Xiang placed this precious bloodstone in the system warehouse, and then continued to mine other bloodstones.
He did not use the pickaxe as he had done before. Instead, he used the White Fang dagger to mark and cut, and then used the pickaxe to assist in slowly digging out large chunks of raw stone.
These chicken blood raw stones are big and small, and of good and bad quality. The big ones weigh five or six hundred kilograms, and the small ones are about ten or several kilograms. They are all put into the system warehouse. By the time dark comes, the total harvest is more than six thousand kilograms.
Those with good quality, abundant blood volume, pure and vivid blood color will naturally remain in the system warehouse; as for those with poor quality, especially those in large pieces, colorful, and looking very beautiful, but with insufficient blood color and a darker base, he thought about either placing them in the yard for landscaping.
In fact, he had cut several of these raw stones, but no good materials were found among them. Although the remaining ones might contain good materials, he was too lazy to cut them. After all, the White Fang dagger is relatively short, and it is not very convenient to use it to cut large stones weighing hundreds of pounds.
At night, when it was late and quiet, Li Xiang came to the backyard and performed a trick of "creating things out of thin air". He took a horse stance, raised his hands forward lightly, and a large colorful stone weighing five or six hundred kilograms appeared on his arms, which he then gently placed on the ground.
Oh my god, the dog and the little fox were both stunned.
Because Li Xiang had just arrived in the backyard, they woke up, but it was too cold, so they did not come out. They just stuck their heads out of the doghouse and waited. As long as Li Xiang called, they would jump out.
As a result, Li Xiang did not call them, but instead performed a "miracle".
Erhuang knew how powerful his master was, and he was also stunned. His tongue was sticking out. The little fox was even more unbearable. His lively fox eyes were full of shock!
"Woof woof~" Erhuang barked softly and jumped out, followed by the little fox. The dog and the fox came to Li Xiang and circled around him.
When the little fox saw Erhuang rubbing against Li Xiang's leg, it followed suit and rubbed against Li Xiang's other leg.
Li Xiang didn't care. After all, these two little guys wouldn't reveal his secrets.
And showing your abilities appropriately can make the little fox more loyal.
Look, the little fox is closer to him than before.
Next, Li Xiang performed the "transforming things out of thin air" performance several more times, which completely stunned Erhuang and the little fox. The shock in the dog's eyes and the fox's eyes turned into endless admiration.
Li Xiang placed seven or eight large raw stones in the backyard. When he looked at the backyard again, he felt that it had been "enhanced" a lot.
The next day, he continued to go mining. Since I discovered the bloodstone, I will not broadcast it live to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Good bloodstone, especially those with a blood content of more than 50%, bright colors and a clear base, are relatively expensive, comparable to jadeite, and can reach prices of several million or even tens of millions.
In ancient times, many emperors' seals were made of bloodstone. Literati and poets of all dynasties also favored bloodstone, which was known as one of the "Four National Stones".
Of course, those of poor quality are not valuable and are usually sold by weight, so Li Xiang treats them as "appreciative stones" and places them in the yard to increase the scenery.
…
Village committee.
Li Jinyu, with a head full of white hair, was sitting on a chair in front of the door, listening to music and basking in the sun. While listening, he was also clapping the beat and singing along, feeling leisurely and contented.
It is a classic poem "The Case of the Chopping of a Beauty": "The prince consort came closer to take a closer look. It said that Qin Xianglian was 32 years old. She sued the prince consort of the current dynasty for deceiving the king and the emperor, and breaking off the engagement and marrying another man..."
When Li Jinyu was young, he also played the role of "Zhengsheng" in a local opera troupe in the countryside. He performed both Peking opera and Sichuan opera. However, there were not many people listening to opera later, so the troupe was disbanded. His family also had a complete set of "gongs and drums", which were relatively old, but still usable. It was just difficult to get the old ones together.
Those old guys were all from Lijia Village and surrounding villages. They were mainly old, and the surrounding villages were far away. Some of them even passed away early.
"Oh, I miss it so much." Everyone has their youthful years.
"The complaint was left in the lobby of my house~~~"
Li Jinyu continued singing. As she was old, she could not reach some high notes and it was a bit strenuous. Just as she sang the word "上~", her cell phone rang.
"Oh, leader, hello, hello, what's the matter that requires you to call me personally?" Li Jinyu was surprised. This was a big leader in the town. He had met him several times before, but he rarely contacted him personally.
"It's like this. We received a report saying that there is a man named Li Xiang in your village who was mining minerals illegally..." The other party then told him what happened.
Li Jinyu was stunned. Although he was old, he was still clear-headed. He immediately laughed and said, "That's not the case. He just dug a small cellar on the mountain to store sweet potatoes, cabbages and the like, for fear that they would freeze in the winter... How big could it be? It's just a small pit to store vegetables... He wouldn't open a mine privately. Our Lijia Village is poor, so where can we find mines? You know that too."
"That's good. Keep an eye on him and don't let him continue with any live broadcasts, especially this kind. It has a bad influence." The town leader warned.
"Of course, of course. I'll call him over right away and give him a severe reprimand!" After Li Jinyu hung up the phone, she immediately called Li Xiang and told him about this.
Li Xiang: “…” Was he really reported? Fortunately, the broadcast was downloaded quickly yesterday.
In fact, it was not his fans who reported it, but some colleagues who were jealous of his traffic and reported it without thinking.
"I'm no longer doing live broadcasts. I'll be more careful next time." Li Xiang hung up the phone, but he wasn't angry, because there are all kinds of birds in the world, and he had seen more disgusting and despicable ones during the end of the world.
And he has killed many.
These little tricks in this peaceful time are not worth mentioning.
Li Xiang continued to mine. After a week, not only was a cave 100 meters deep completed, but he also dug out a space of about three bedrooms and a living room underneath. The raw bloodstone in the backyard had formed a jungle.
At the same time, he also drank the entire gourd of medicinal wine. Through this period of "mining" and hard training, his strength leaped to a higher level, and he condensed a third vortex of spiritual power in his left calf.
A third-order transcendent.
System: "Congratulations to the host for breaking through the realm. You will be awarded 1000 achievement points and a surprise reward: the side length of the system's alternate dimension warehouse x 2."
Previously, Li Xiang’s warehouse had expanded to a side length of 4 meters and a volume of 64 cubic meters. Now the side length × 2, is 8 meters, and the volume has suddenly reached 8 meters × 8 meters × 8 meters, which is 512 cubic meters.
In less than half a year, he had reached the third level and owned such an awesome warehouse. This was simply unimaginable in his previous life.
At this rate, Li Xiang felt that he would most likely reach the Saint Stage before the end of the world.
After reaching the Saint level, one can fly into the sky and hide underground, and enter and exit the underworld on his own.
He carefully felt himself and realized that after breaking through the third level, a rune was also born in the vortex of spiritual energy in his left calf, floating up and down.
"Godspeed x2".
With a slight push, his figure left a shadow and quickly rushed out, his speed was two or three times faster than before.
Before, his short burst speed could reach about 30 meters per second, which was similar to the fastest cheetah. Now it is 60 to 70 meters per second, and he can easily capture a cheetah. If he runs long distances, without resting in the middle, he should be able to run a constant speed of 400 to 500 kilometers at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour.
If you take a short break and replenish supplies during the journey, the range can be longer, and you can definitely travel a thousand miles a day.
"Don't be complacent. Keep up the good work." Li Xiang calculated and found that even if he exerted all his strength, he still couldn't catch up with the high-speed rail. After all, the high-speed rail can reach about 350 kilometers per hour at its fastest speed, while his maximum speed is only about 250 kilometers per hour, which is a long way behind.
As for missiles, the Hongqi 19, which just made its debut at the Zhuhai Air Show, can reach a terminal speed of Mach 17 (about 6,000 meters per second).
When Li Xiang thought of this terrifying speed, he suddenly felt that he should keep a low profile. After all, at the end of the world, these powerful missiles are unable to deal with powerful monsters.
At the end of the world, some powerful monster kings will swoop down from outer space at a speed of over 60 Mach. Not only are they fast, it only takes a moment for them to get from outer space to the ground, but they will also generate a powerful "shield" in front of them. The "air wall" alone is harder than steel, and due to the extremely fast friction, the air molecules of this "air wall" are decomposed to form a fireworks-like plasma. The most powerful weapons of mankind, even laser weapons, cannot intercept them. They have no time to lock onto them, and even if they do, they cannot destroy them.
Of course, there are also relatively weak creatures among those monster tribes. If they were all so powerful, humans would have been destroyed long ago.
The monster tribe regarded humans as "delicious snacks", not staple food, but to spice up the taste. They planned to keep a steady diet, so they did not kill them all.
