The black clouds were lingering. Seeing a small black flower blooming silently and quickly in the gap between the two opposite thick leaves of the jadeite Lithops, Qin Yazhi pulled Chen Hongtao nervously.
At this time, the black mist that covered several treasures was as thick as liquid, giving off an aura of decay.
Seeing the small black flowers blooming in the cracks of the jadeite, Chen Hongtao gave Qin Yazhi a comforting smile, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
In Chen Hongtao¡¯s past memories, the process of flowers blooming from the gaps in the emerald was only after the aura of the black mist was restrained.
But seeing the aura of the black mist that withered and corroded several treasures getting thicker and thicker, but showing no signs of shrinking, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but beat the drum secretly in his heart.
It was also the first time for Chen Hongtao to encounter the situation where the spirituality of several treasures completely disappeared.
Since discovering that jadeite Lithops can wither the spirituality of treasures, Chen Hongtao has made many attempts. Although he has certain expectations that the spirituality of some treasures will disappear sooner or later, seeing the spiritual light of several treasures on the ground extinguished one after another, Chen Hongtao still feels a little bit in his heart. Secretly horrified.
Seemingly aware of Chen Hongtao's strange look, Qin Yazhi couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Has it ever taken this long for this jade stone flower to wither and assimilate the spirituality of the treasure?"
Chen Hongtao shook his head slightly: "It usually lasts ten or twenty minutes, but it has never exceeded an hour."
¡°When I saw Chen Hongtao spreading something like an oilcloth on his knees and gently fanning it in the direction of the treasure covered in thick black liquid, the aura of the black liquid seemed to be frightened. Quickly retreating, Qin Yazhi already knew that the situation was not completely beyond Chen Hongtao's control.
Picking up the jade buckle and skull bracelet that had completely lost their spirituality on the ground through the oilcloth, Chen Hongtao carefully observed the two treasures and said at the same time: "It seems that after many erosions, they can no longer hold on. What a pity for these two items." The strange power of the treasure!¡±
"Click~~~" Under Chen Hongtao's grasp, delicate cracks appeared on the jade buckle at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like dry cracks.
"Is there anything mysterious about this thing that looks like a safe jade button?" Qin Yazhi looked at it and saw that it was also covered with bone patterns. asked the skull bracelet, which seemed to have been baptized by the torrent of vicissitudes of life.
When he thought of the young woman accomplice of the fat man Dou Qian, when he was about to die, he spat out the small round jade button from his mouth, pulling a ball of white light with difficulty, as if pulling the woman's soul out of the dead body, Chen Hongtao felt a little strange in his heart. .
"However, Chen Hongtao, who has not mastered the small jade button in the past nine years, has not rashly explored the mystery of this small jade button. After all, the soul is not a joke.
"You should know Dou Qian, right? This thing was obtained from one of his accomplices. It seems to have some strange power that attracts the soul. But it seems to have to be sacrificed. The person who owned it before was a cultivator." Chen Hongtao sighed slightly when he saw that the two ancient characters on the left and right of the jade button also had cracks.
The cracks on the jade buckle continued to increase. When the cracks became extremely fine, they finally began to collapse and turned into fine jade sand sliding down.
The situation of the skull bracelet and the jade buckle was similar. They also did not last long and gradually disappeared into ashes in the process of weathering and cracking.
¡°After seeing Chen Hongtao put away the face-changing mask and the lychee-shaped ball, there was a black liquid that smelled of withered creatures. Covering the remaining treasures secretly again, Qin Yazhi asked worriedly: "What should I do with the black flowers that bloomed?"
"As long as you don't pick it, it won't take long for this black flower to turn into a black charm and converge back into the gap. It seems that after assimilating the spiritual withering of several treasures this time, it seems to have gained a lot. It looks nutritious." Chen Hongtao sighed as he stared at the black flowers surrounded by Xia Yun.
"It must be very painful for you that these treasures have been eroded and withered by this jade stone flower, right?" Qin Yazhi also calmed down at this time. asked Chen Hongtao with a smile.
"Such mysterious things are more valuable than quantity. I hope their spirituality disappears and can bring me satisfactory returns." Chen Hongtao looked at the jade stone flower with a slight look of expectation.
Time passes quietly. Until the small stone gourd loses its brilliance, the black liquid with aura exits from the gap of the silver scroll, gradually converges and penetrates into the fist-sized emerald stone flower. Looking at the frost and dewdrops appearing on its surface, flowing towards the small stone pit on the ground below, Chen Hongtao His eyes were bright and he rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
"What you want is the dewdrops formed by these anti-frosts?" Feeling the fresh vitality revealed by those frosty dews, Qin Yazhi understood Chen Hongtao's intention.
Chen Hongtao seemed a little restless at this time: "The effect of these frosts and dews on making tea is very good."?It is nourishing and gentle at the same time, and will not cause any burden on the body. After the black flowers turn into aura and return to the jade, I will collect the frost and dew and make tea for my family. There was obviously a lot more frost and dew this time than before. "
Looking at Chen Hongtao's unconcealable joy, Qin Yazhi felt a little sad in her heart. In her opinion, Chen Hongtao has lived in Campelos Island for these nine years without leaving home, and he has really shouldered too much for this family!
After the liquid with a black aura completely seeped into the jadeite Lithops and there was no danger, Chen Hongtao used oilcloth to separate them and retrieved the three treasures on the ground.
Unlike the small stone gourd that has lost its luster and is constantly showing cracks, the palm-length silver scroll that seals the evil curse has not turned into fly ash even though its aura is gone, and it looks very delicate.
The remaining black knife has a simple pattern, and the blade no longer has a sharp aura. Even the faint sound of the knife and the sense of killing brought by the mountains of corpses and seas of blood have also dissipated.
However, to Qin Yazhi's surprise, the black knife seemed to be made of more durable material than a small stone gourd. Even if its spirituality disappeared, the small blade was still round and smooth, without any cracks. Even after it was withered and corroded, it became Not a single trace was left, and the entire blade seemed to be completely natural.
"This pocket knife as a waist accessory seems to be a treasure with great heritage!" Qin Yazhi reminded Chen Hongtao strangely, feeling the simple and heavy atmosphere of the black pocket knife.
After trying to hold the black knife in his hand and finding no danger, Chen Hongtao pointed at the blade and flicked it.
¡°Buzz~~~¡± The thick sound of the sword sounded melodiously, shaking the aura of the entire underground training room.
The round and thick hegemony came out from the blade, breaking the small stone gourd into powder.
Chen Hongtao observed the jade stone flower and found that it was not affected by the sound and intention of the knife, so he put away the black knife.
"It's true. Without the black aura that seems to have been acquired, this knife is more primitive and natural!" Chen Hongtao took a deep breath and praised it.
Qin Yazhi nodded: "Although I don't know enough about these treasures, with this strange jade stone flower, I have unlocked a lot of secrets. Although the method is a bit crude, it is very effective!"
Chen Hongtao grinned and said: "The wealth I have accumulated over the years has basically been spent in exchange for spiritual essences and elixirs. These strange treasures are also the survival of the fittest, but fortunately they have provided me with a lot of help. With I believe the situation of this Jade Lithops will not be much different in the future."
"It seems that you have great expectations for it" Before Qin Yazhi finished speaking, her and Chen Hongtao's expressions changed.
I saw that the emerald Lithops placed on the ground, dots of green and white spherical leaves, began to turn black, and the small black flowers growing out of the gap between the two leaves, instead of converging, accelerated their growth in the lingering black clouds. The branches bear a shiny black fruit.
The fruits with dots of mysterious textures flowing through them exude a very charming and heart-warming fragrance. This sweet and strange fragrance not only smells good for a long time, but also quickly fills the underground training ground, making people feel much clearer and clearer. .
After a long time, Qin Yazhi, who was breathing slowly, couldn't help but be cautious: "Has this kind of thing happened before? "
Chen Hongtao looked at the changes in the jade stone flower, but did not dare to move forward rashly: "This is the first time this has happened. Although this thing has bloomed before, it has not produced any fruit. Looking at the green stone body, it seems to be black. It does not seem to be a good thing." Phenomenon!"
"Pa~~~" Just when Chen Hongtao was worried, his guess seemed to be confirmed. The black jadeite stone flower about the size of a fist had already developed a trace of cracks.
Qin Yazhi, who was quickly pulled up by Chen Hongtao, nervously reminded: "Hurry up and stop the condensed fruit. It seems to be extracting the life breath from the jade. If you continue like this, until the essence of Lithops is exhausted, It¡¯s impossible to say anything will happen.¡±
Chen Hongtao, who was dragging the oilcloth with one hand, didn't care about the changes that occurred when the jade stone flower bore fruit. He quickly pulled Qin Yazhi up the stone steps leading to the outside of the training ground: "Aunt Qin, please leave first, don't do anything to others. Let¡¯s talk about what happened here so as not to make people worry. If nothing happens, I will go out immediately after handling the situation here.¡±
Feeling that the jade stone flower was cracked, it aroused Chen Hongtao's nervousness. Although Qin Yazhi was extremely worried, she did not get in the way of the underground training ground. While walking quickly outside the training ground, she anxiously reminded Chen Hongtao: ??Hongtao, be careful yourself. If you must go against the law, come out immediately. I'll be waiting for you outside. "
Until Qin Yazhi left, in the quiet underground training ground, only the jade stone flowers occasionally made cracking sounds.
