I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Being slighted?

Li Jizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no need to care.

After all, the other party's vision is too low and cannot see the things above.

No longer asking for trouble, Li Jizhou took Hongluan out of Qishixuan.

We then walked around Yunzhou City and picked out a popular inn, where we drank wine and listened to music with Hong Luan in the lobby, listening to all the conversations we had.

"Master, this Han Zhen deserves to be said to be selfless!"

Within half a day, Li Jizhou had already understood what the lower-level monks thought of Han Zhen.

There were a lot of scoldings, accusing him of being unkind, accusing him of subcontracting the entire mining industry to merchants, accusing him of competing with the people for profit.

There are also some who praise it, praising that the number of monks in Yunzhou City has increased tenfold since he took office, and that the entire Yunzhou City has expanded three times and has become more prosperous, with more shops and services.

In general, it is consistent with what we have learned before. From Li Jizhou's standpoint, Han Zhen is a capable and loyal minister.

As for Prince Yun's Mansion... Li Jizhou was a little unhappy.

Not only does it occupy the Black Stone Mine, one of the five major mining areas, it also supports multiple forces to plunder other mining areas.

Of course, when it comes to supporting power, most of it is speculation from the bottom, but there is no real evidence.

But there is one thing. King Yun has been in seclusion for thirty years now, and he is probably impacting his spiritual transformation.

The first generation of King Yun's high-grade spiritual roots did not transform into an infant, but the current eighth generation grandson seems to be extraordinary.

The most important point is that it was recorded in the imperial court that the talent reported by King Yun was only earth spirit root.

And his age is only about five hundred years old.

Based on the level of spiritual energy here, it is already a miracle to be able to transform into infant feces.

The spiritual energy is thin, so one can only use spiritual stones to support the spiritual gathering circle for practice.

In his previous life, Li Jizhou practiced this method, which caused a lot of damage to the spiritual stones.

During the pill formation stage, only about 50% of the medium-grade spiritual stones can be effectively utilized, and the rest are consumed.

He also practiced all the way to the late stage of Nascent Soul, and even impacted the transformation of gods. One can imagine how many spiritual stones he spent.

In the Nascent Soul stage, if you want to use spiritual stones to satisfy your spiritual energy needs, you need to maintain at least a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual vein.

I'm afraid hundreds of thousands are wasted every year.

And every time you advance to a small realm, the number of spiritual stones consumed will directly double.

Now in the late Nascent Soul stage, he consumes nearly one million middle-grade spiritual stones every year.

After being in seclusion for thirty years, I can’t imagine the amount of spiritual stone resources I have consumed.

All the spiritual stones in the world belong to the Holy Emperor, at least in name.

After Li Jizhou succeeded to the throne, it would be his.

He himself is not willing to be so luxurious now, but it is very uncomfortable to be consumed by his great-great-grandson.

"Does my father really care about brotherhood? Or is he just protecting his reputation and not finding an opportunity?" This question has been swirling in Li Jizhou's mind. At this moment, he felt that he had the answer.

"I want to go to Blackstone City to have a good look!" Li Jizhou was determined.

"Sir, please take a look at your rough stone and see how lucky you are?" Hong Luan was bored and randomly untied the spirit stone presented by Fang Qingwei.

It's not sure whether the spirit stone mine given by Fang Qingwei was substandard material or whether Hongluan was just unlucky.

Her rough stone was like a shell inside, all its spiritual energy had been lost, and it was a piece of waste stone.

Li Jizhou took out his own piece and threw it directly to Hong Luan.

"Sir, this is yours. You have to solve it yourself. This is called your own control." Hong Luan pushed the original stone back.

Li Jizhou smiled and said nothing. His fingertips condensed the sword energy cultivated from the "Grass Pheasant Geng Golden Sword Technique" taught by General Gongsundang.

"Stab it~" It didn't open.

"Pfft~ Young Master, you have to follow these lines to solve the problem." Hong Luan explained with a smile. "Boo~" Sure enough, Li Jizhou's sword energy randomly found a path, and following a stroke, the rough stone as big as a human head split instantly.

However, before Li Jizhou could take a closer look, a sharp aura instantly burst out of the crack.

Then there was a metallic trill of "Zheng~".

"Sigh~"

"Is this... a peerless treasure?"

"Oh, this is incredible, this rough stone is definitely not a spiritual stone, it must be a treasure!"

……

Almost instantly, all the guests in the inn lobby gathered around. Many people's eyes were filled with excitement and greed, and even more were filled with envy and jealousy.

Most of the spiritual mines are spiritual stones condensed from the liquid spiritual energy in the ancestral spiritual sea.

But there are also treasures of heaven and earth that have been washed out of the spiritual sea.

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures are wrapped in spiritual liquid, and the outer spiritual liquid vaporizes into a hard spiritual shell that isolates the soul, while the heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside are completely preserved.

Even if it has been wrapped in spiritual liquid, its spirituality has been growing. As the spiritual mine sleeps longer, the spirituality of the heavenly material and earthly treasure becomes better and better.

In the history of spirit stone mining, elixirs of immortality have even been prescribed from raw stones!

"..." Li Jizhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

The first rough stone in my life, and it was given as a gift, so I am so lucky?

Could it be that my previous life not only accumulated spiritual roots for me, but also accumulated blessings?

He smiled, but his mood didn't fluctuate much.

But at this moment, only a small gap peeled off, and the thing inside was still wrapped in layers, not sure what it was.

Li Jizhou was preparing to strike again.

"Oh, Master, you don't know how to decode stones. Don't do it randomly. You can't do it randomly. Otherwise, you may cut through the condensation point of the spiritual mineral with one knife. One touch will directly release all the spiritual energy inside, and the treasures inside will also be destruction!"

"Stop it, don't waste it."

"Young master, you can't mess around. Why don't you go to the Stone Gambling Workshop and ask the master to solve it? All Stone Gambling Workshops will definitely welcome this kind of spiritual mine that is destined to contain treasures. They can solve it for free, and they may even sell it directly on the spot at a high price!"

……

People around him spoke out to stop him.

"Sir, wait a minute. I am the owner of this shop. Do you want to sell it? In this situation, although there is a high probability of a treasure, it is difficult to know what kind of treasure it is. I am willing to sell it for a fourth-level treasure. At this price, how about three thousand mid-grade spiritual stones?"

A spiritual mine with only a crack like this is the favorite way of gambling on stones by some conservative people.

"Bah! A fourth-level treasure? You have such a big face. That sharp aura just now, I think it is at least a fifth-level treasure, and it is also a gold-type treasure!" Someone immediately stood up to refute.

"Does Shopkeeper Chen think this young man is a foreigner and wants to pick him up? I'll offer you 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones!"

Before Li Jizhou could speak, a group of people had already started arguing.

"Who said I'm going to sell it?" Li Jizhou shook his head with a smile and put the spirit mine directly into the storage ring.

The moment he saw Li Jizhou's storage ring, everyone around him became quiet.

The cheapest storage ring costs tens of thousands of mid-grade spiritual stones, and the top-grade one costs at least 100,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.

The backgrounds of monks who can use storage rings, especially those who seem to have just established a foundation, are so terrifying that monks like them who hang out in public inns cannot covet them.

Hong Luan took out a middle-grade spiritual stone to settle the bill and then followed Li Jizhou out.

"Young master, where are we going?" Hong Luan asked, while releasing the power of the soul that was comparable to the transformation of a god, in order to frighten Xiao Xiao who was watching in the inn.

"After all, it was a gift from Qishixuan, so let's go find them to explain it!" Li Jizhou said casually, but did not say that he mainly wanted to find a guide to find out the details of Black Stone City.

Blackstone City has been run by generations of Cloud Kings for five thousand years. It has been built like an iron barrel. Anyone entering or leaving must verify their identity in detail and have a guide, otherwise they will not be able to enter.

Furthermore, he still needs to learn more about Prince Yun's Mansion from others. Compared with strangers, Qishixuan, a force that is in conflict with Prince Yun's Mansion, is more worthy of trust. (End of chapter)
