Chapter 19 Gold Devouring Stone (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)
Faced with this situation, Sun Mingsheng no longer cared about the idea of taming the gold-eating rat, and the power contained in the Flame Sword was also subconsciously enhanced.
Two hot fire walls rose up in response, but the defensive effect they could play was limited. In addition to consuming some of the power of the rat hair needles, the first fire wall burned one rat hair needle into ashes, and the second fire wall burned three rat hair needles.
At least seven rat hair needles penetrated the fire wall and went straight to his face and abdomen. For most cultivators, the attacks of various flying needles are the most difficult to defend and unwilling to face.
Sun Mingsheng retreated quickly, and in the process of retreating, he kept dodging left and right, rubbing his hands constantly, and fireballs the size of a human head fell on the rat hair needles one by one, destroying them as much as possible.
Under his control, the Flame Sword fell hard on the back of the gold-eating rat, splitting it directly into two, and a large amount of fishy blood soaked in the surrounding rock mine tunnels, and waves of fishy smell filled the surroundings.
Even though he had done his best, there were still three rat hair needles that fell on his left and right arms, shoulders, and left ribs. The last one was not too far from his dantian.
"Fortunately, the gold-eating rat itself is not good at defense. If its fur was harder, it would be a question of who would win or lose in this battle." Under the painful attack, Sun Mingsheng couldn't help but take a breath.
The location of the three rat hair needles had swollen, and a feeling of numbness kept coming. Obviously, there were some toxins in it.
Sun Mingsheng had no elixir for detoxification, only some detoxification powder prepared by secular doctors, which was not very effective and could only be better than nothing.
The gold-eating rat had died early under the flame sword, split in two, and all the blood had been drained. Except for the two intact front teeth, the functions of other parts had been halved.
This gold-eating rat also reached the first-level middle grade. Because of the long-term gnaw on the spiritual ore vein, the pair of front teeth were extremely hard and could be used as the main material for refining magic tools.
"It's a pity. If I could tame this gold-eating rat, I would have another way to earn spiritual stones in the future." He sighed as he looked at the corpse of the gold-eating rat on the ground.
Of course, the corpse of the gold-eating rat was not left here casually. Although it was cut in half, it could still be exchanged for three or two spiritual stones in the market.
Sun Mingsheng did not leave, but searched around the place where the gold-eating rat appeared, hoping to gain something. Judging from the traces left in the mine, the gold-eating rat had obviously stayed in the green jade spiritual mine for a long time.
"Since it has swallowed such a large amount of green jade spiritual mine, there must be some excrement," Sun Mingsheng muttered to himself.
After swallowing various spiritual mines, the gold-eating rats are transformed in the digestive tract, and what they excrete are thumb-sized metal balls.
These spherical metals are not formed by a single spiritual mine, but are formed by the residues of multiple spiritual mines after being digested by the gold-eating rats. They are also a first-level medium-quality spiritual material called gold-eating stone.
Gold Devouring Stone has the effects of hardness and resistance to magic. Adding some when refining magic tools can greatly improve the hardness and toughness.
A first-level medium-quality gold devouring stone can be exchanged for three spiritual stones. If you meet some cultivators who are in urgent need, the price can be even higher.
In addition, as a cultivator, the demand for magic tools always exists. Just a flame sword is obviously far from enough.
He has begun to subconsciously collect some high-quality spiritual materials and prepare to seek the help of a refiner to refine a suitable magic tool again.
The Sun family is not good at refining magic tools. There is no refiner in Shenquan Mountain where the family is located. Therefore, they can only accumulate a batch of cultivation resources in exchange for the refiners in Lanshan Market.
Refining tools is an important part of the six arts of cultivation, and it is also one of the choices of many cultivators. Although most cultivators will fail, the huge base can be used as a guarantee, and there are also many first-level refiners.
These first-level refiners refine magic tools for sale, and can also be customized with spiritual materials provided by monks. They earn cultivation resources by refining magic tools and feed back to the improvement of their own cultivation.
According to the rules of the refiners, three materials are required to refine a magic tool. If it succeeds once, the remaining two will not be returned, and the monks need to prepare an additional fee as the cost of the refiner.
On the contrary, if it fails three times, the refiner does not have to compensate for the spiritual materials. The monks can only consider themselves unlucky and are only exempted from the extra spiritual stones.
Sun Mingsheng has been planning to refine magic tools since he was promoted to the fourth level of Qi training, and the spiritual materials he needs have been collected.
He has even searched for a suitable refiner in Lanshan Market several times. After repeated comparisons, he finally selected a refiner named Ning with outstanding skills.
This refiner was born as a casual cultivator and has a first-level superior fire-breathing toad as a spiritual beast. He can refine magic tools with the fire-breathing toad.
In fact, the appearance of the gold-eating rat is very appropriate. If we can get some gold-eating stones, the quality of the magic weapon will obviously be significantly improved.
The magic weapon chosen by Sun Mingsheng is called the Fire Gathering Bottle, which is also the magic weapon recorded in the "Fire Art" he practiced. It is the first choice for fire-attributed cultivators.
The first-grade top-grade fire-gathering bottle is made of the first-grade top-grade fire-gathering stone as the main material, and is refined with more than 20 kinds of first-grade medium and low-grade spiritual materials.
If the gold-eating stone is added as one of the raw materials, the quality and power of the fire-gathering bottle after it is formed will be significantly improved.
"To make a feint to the east and attack the west, to do the opposite, to actually arrange the nest in this abandoned mine, the gold-eating rat is really painstaking" After two hours, Sun Mingsheng just found something in a long-abandoned mine.
The abandoned mines in the Qingyu Spirit Mine are generally mined by miners for more than three consecutive days, and no spiritual ore has been produced.
The gold-eating rat is naturally fond of various spiritual ores, and generally arranges the spiritual ores in rich mining areas to facilitate its swallowing of spiritual ores.
After Sun Mingsheng searched the three relatively rich mines around him one by one, he still had no harvest, so he appeared in this abandoned mine.
"One, two, three, five" Five bright golden gold-eating stones sparkled in the nest of the gold-eating rat, which was very eye-catching.
Five gold-eating stones were enough to meet the needs of refining the fire-gathering bottle. The other two were handed over to the family in exchange for another first-grade low-grade spiritual material that had not yet been obtained.
With the character of the gold-eating rat, it is obvious that it will not place its nest in a random place, especially in this barren abandoned mine.
Although the first-grade middle-grade gold-eating rat has embarked on the path of cultivation and opened up a certain amount of spiritual wisdom, its grade is too low after all, and it still relies on instinct in most cases.
This means that there must be a reason in this abandoned mine that attracts the gold-eating rat to place its nest here. Maybe this is the real reason why it appeared in the Qingyu Spirit Mine.
The Qingyu Spirit Mine is only a first-grade low-grade spiritual material, and this is an extremely barren spiritual mine.
