Chapter 17 Picking Jade

In Huayuan Kingdom, there is a martial arts competition held every year, which is subdivided into two parts.

One is the 15-year-old competition that Shi Hao participated in last year, which strictly limits the age.

Because most people start practicing martial arts at the age of fourteen, and the earlier ones are at the age of thirteen. It should not be too early. High-intensity training will seriously affect the development of young people, which is harmful and not beneficial.

Therefore, the age of fifteen is the first year for ordinary people to practice martial arts. Talents will definitely emerge, but they have no shape, so there is a lot of room for cultivation. Therefore, the Imperial Capital Academy will select one every year and focus on training.

In addition, there is no age competition, as long as they are students of the academy, they are eligible to participate, and the champion can also join the Imperial Capital Academy.

Of course, the maximum age to stay in the academy is only twenty years old, so, in fact, there is also an age limit, but it is set wider.

Shi Hao can participate in the second type of competition, and the first thing to do is to obtain the representative right of Starwind Academy.

The selection contest will be held a month later. Two representatives will be selected, and then they will go to the county town to participate in the second round of selection. Only those who stand out in this selection will be eligible to go to the imperial capital to participate in the final.

There is no rush, just take part in the selection battle when the time comes.

Shi Hao now has an astonishingly large skill pool, including medical skills, alchemy skills, talisman skills, casting tools, and formation methods. He only needs to open the corresponding memory to have complete skills.

As far as Shi Hao knows, there are only three pieces of medicine, alchemy, and casting in Huayuan Kingdom. However, the alchemy of Huayuan Kingdom is simply dispensing medicine, such as dragon and tiger ointment. From Shi Hao's point of view, Still in the primitive period of ignorance.

The same is true for castings. Although there are big killers such as the cloud piercing crossbow, moon killing bow, and amethyst cannon, even the most powerful amethyst cannon will blast a big hole in the city wall at most.

But in Shi Hao's memory, the powerful magic weapon can destroy mountains and evaporate oceans with one blow, which is beyond description.

And this, Shi Hao can create.

Of course, the premise is that there are corresponding materials. In addition, Shi Hao's current strength is too weak, and he can't even swing a hammer at all.

What Shi Hao is most interested in is the array.

Formation, with the power of mountains, rivers and earth, can trap people, kill people, and even kill thousands of troops.

However, if you want to arrange such a killing formation, you need a lot of materials. Shi Hao is currently unable to arrange it, and it is meaningless.

What he wanted to arrange was a formation called "Three Star Gathering Spirit Formation".

Once this formation is completed, it can forcibly gather the energy of the surrounding world. Then, practicing in such an environment will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

To arrange this formation requires a lot of jade stones, which are the medium through which the formation communicates with the heavens and the earth. The higher the quality of the jade, the more powerful the formation will be.

For example, if the three-star spirit gathering array is built with ordinary jade, it can forcibly extract the energy of the heaven and earth within ten feet nearby, but if high-quality jade is used, then the range can be expanded to twenty or thirty feet. The difference is still very big.

Early the next morning, Shi Hao went to the jade shop, intending to choose some good jade and get out this three-star gathering spirit array, so that he would not have to go to Dayun Mountain.

He still has one thousand taels of silver with him, so Lin Yuyue can't count on it for the time being, but if he is really short of money, Hailing Martial Arts can provide a lot of support, after all, he is the local snake in Mengyang City, so Definitely amassed a lot of wealth over the years.

"My lord, are you going to buy jade or gold and silver jewelry?" Immediately after entering the store, a girl in red greeted him and asked in a sweet voice, her eyes were full of little stars.

Shi Hao has long been accustomed to this, he is indeed good-looking.

When he smiled, the girl in red almost fainted from excitement: "I'm going to buy some raw jade stones that haven't been processed."

The girl in red was a little strange, because almost no one would buy rough stones, she pretended to be smart, and suddenly realized: "So the young master is still a master of jade carving!"

Shi Hao just smiled and didn't deny it, it's not important.

This almost caused the red-clothed girl to explode on the spot again. She got carried away and said after a moment of stupefaction: "My lord, please wait a moment, I'll go get the rough stone right away."

When she went to fetch the rough stone, several other female shop assistants surrounded her. There was no business anyway, and such a good-looking man was really rare.

After a while, the girl in red brought a lot of jade stones, all of which were unprocessed rough stones.

The girl in red was still introducing, this is Mianyu, that is Ziyu, and that is Miaoyu.

Shi Hao picked them up one by one to observe, but none of them were satisfied.

Aside from appearance, the jade used to construct the formation must be pure, the purer it is, the easier it is to communicate with the energy of heaven and earth, and of course the better the formation.

"I want the kind of jade that looks transparent, and the one without a trace of impurities is the best." He said.

This surprised several female shop assistants. What kind of selection method is this? It is completely different from the general public's aesthetic point of view.

"Then I'll look for it again." The girl in red said.

Just as she was about to leave, she smelled a scent of fragrance, and then she saw a well-known beautiful woman walking over, twisting her water snake waist, she was so charming, even this little girl was a little red-faced.

"Sister Yu!" She hurriedly greeted, this is the owner of the jade shop.

Those female shop assistants also hurriedly greeted the beautiful woman, and then returned to their seats, so as not to be scolded severely.

Shi Hao also took a look. This beautiful woman looked twenty-four or five years old, her skin was as white as jade, her almond eyes were like water, her lips were like fire, her black hair hung unruly behind her, and the end just reached her waist During this time, her narrow water snake waist was completely highlighted.

Protruding forward and backward, this figure is so hot.

"I thought I was watching something lively, so he is a good-looking little brother." The beautiful woman smiled, her winking eyes sparked, making people feel numb all over.

Several female shop assistants stuck out their tongues secretly. If such a handsome little brother is taken by their boss, he will definitely be eaten to the bone!

"Sister Yu, this young master wants to buy a pure and transparent rough stone." The girl in red said quickly to prove that she was actually working hard.

"Oh?" The beautiful woman showed a look of surprise, glanced at Shi Hao, and then said, "Go to warehouse No. 3 and move the rough stone there."

After all, he gave the girl in red a key.

"Yes." The girl took the key and ran out quickly.

"Little brother, I don't know what you want this rough stone for?" the beautiful woman asked with an alluring curiosity on her face.

When ordinary men see it, they will definitely be unable to resist the temptation and spit out all kinds of things.

Shi Hao said, "Use it to practice your skills."

The beautiful woman giggled coquettishly, her flowers trembling wildly, this was really terrible, the towering chest was so surging that it was enough for a man with a weak will to pounce on it immediately, and even a man with a strong will could not look away at all now.

But Shi Hao didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see it.

The beautiful woman was surprised, put away her smile, and said: "If it's just for practicing craftsmanship, why care about whether the jade is pure or not?"

Shi Hao smiled: "Obsessive-compulsive disorder."
