607 The True Use of Mystical Stones

Mystical stones were extremely special. It contained more than just the spiritual energy around them.

If one was lucky, one would find mystical stones of a higher grade. These stones were extremely rare and extraordinary.

It was also Jiang Ming’s first time seeing mystical stones. After a short while, his expression suddenly changed a few times and he said in surprise, “I seem to be able to feel mystic Qi.”

Gongye Jiu had once said that even if ordinary cultivators obtained mystical stones, they might not be able to sense the mystic Qi within, let alone absorb it.

As time passed, Jiang Ming’s eyebrows twitched again.

“Absorbing spiritual energy is not a problem, but I can’t refine it with my own methods.”

Mystic Qi was different from spiritual energy. It was a source of cultivation power of a higher level.

Those who could refine spiritual energy could certainly refine mystic Qi because the cultivation technique they mastered was very powerful. However, without a sufficiently powerful cultivation technique, even if one could absorb spiritual energy from their surroundings, it would be useless because they could not refine it, let alone transform it into mystic Qi.

“Master Jiu, shouldn’t you reward me with a few mystic cultivation techniques?” Jiang Ming blinked and asked curiously.

In fact, the cultivation technique they were using now could not be called a mystic technique at all. At most, it was just a higher-level cultivation technique.

If he wanted to refine this mystic Qi, he would need mystic techniques as the foundation.

Jiang Ming’s question confused the other party.

“I don’t have such things.” Gongye Jiu shook his head. “Besides, I can’t give them to you even if I have them, because these things can only be understood and can’t be taught in words. It requires a foundation. ”

The corners of Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched.

If they did not have any mystic cultivation experience as a foundation for refining mystic Qi, then what was the use of obtaining these mystical stones?

On the other hand, Zhu An’an was as happy as a lark the moment she obtained the mystic stones. She absorbed and refined it with all her might, and soon, her cultivation soared, causing Jiang Ming to burn with jealousy.

As time passed, Jiang Ming finally could not take it anymore and fell to the ground.

“I can’t take it anymore. Although my cultivation technique can refine this mystic Qi bit by bit, it’s not as fast as refining spiritual energy! Master Jiu, aren’t you scamming me? If I can’t refine it, I’ll have to take so many mystical stones along with me! If I’m targeted by someone with ill intentions, I’ll definitely die miserably.”

Jiang Ming’s words gave Gongye Jiu a headache.

“I’ve not thought about this point before. I didn’t expect there to be so many mystical stones here. It’s not easy for you to take them back even if you’ve taken them out. Moreover, the seal here has been broken. Soon, a large number of people will come here. Once they discover these mystical stones, they’ll rob you as well. It’ll be futile.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming took a few deep breaths. He wanted to smack Gongye Jiu. However, it was obvious that Gongye Jiu was not in a physical form at the moment. He most likely could not be hurt. Otherwise, if he used his mana, Gongye Jiu’s current form might disappear.

The more he thought about this, the more annoyed Jiang Ming grew. Then, he suddenly looked up and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

“I know what to do.”

He suddenly stood up and walked backward. Clearly, he wanted to avoid Gongye Jiu. The latter could not help but frown when he saw this. Why was this brat still thinking of avoiding him?

Never mind!

Everyone had their secrets, and being nosy would only backfire.

Jiang Ming quickly found a remote place and asked the black sword for its thoughts. action

“Friend, what do you think I should do now?”

“I think you should use spiritual energy to cultivate. Mystic Qi can be used as a supplement. After all, spiritual energy is the most authentic,” the black sword said without hesitation, causing Jiang Ming to be stunned.

“You mean to say that mystic Qi is not authentic?”

“Do you mean? Anyway, it’s nothing more than a term used in your era. In our era, we only had vitality and spiritual energy. Cultivating vitality was the most authentic, followed by spiritual energy. As for mystic Qi, it’s just for those who want to take shortcuts. Anyone who cultivates mystic Qi will not have a good ending. It’s not as simple as dying. It’s because the speed of improvement in the early stages of mystic Qi cultivation is extremely fast. However, when they keep going, they fall into despair!”

The black sword finished its sentence in one breath, and a strange look flashed across its eyes. He had never thought that there would still be people cultivating mystic Qi in this era. This was completely a disgrace!

As Jiang Ming’s friend, the black sword naturally would not allow Jiang Ming to ruin his future.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming let out a long sigh. Fortunately, he did not cultivate his mystic Qi immediately. Otherwise, the consequences would be worrying.

“However, Gongye Jiu’s words are enough to show that in this era, the people of the vast world of immortal cultivation and the Upper Realm are all cultivating mystic Qi. What are these people thinking? Who taught them to do this?”

The black sword really could not understand. Could there be a hidden expert behind all of this who bewitched everyone to cultivate the wrong path of cultivation?

If that was the case, the black sword wished that it could charge up and let those cultivators understand what a ridiculous mistake they had made!

Unfortunately, Jiang Ming could only hide in the Lower Realm. He instinctively asked, “How should I use mystic Qi to assist spiritual energy cultivation?”

“Actually, the true effect of mystic Qi refinement isn’t reflected in the improvement of one’s cultivation realm, but in the improvement of their cultivation technique’s grade,” the black sword continued, which stunned Jiang Ming a little.

It seemed that the black sword’s era was truly prosperous. It was definitely not something that could be compared to the present. At least in the Lower Realm, most of the immortal cultivators regarded mystic Qi as a necessary item to increase their cultivation.

But now, it seemed that it was not the case!

“How do I increase the grade of my cultivation technique?”

Jiang Ming asked subconsciously. In response, the black sword said very seriously, “By using mystical stones to circulate a cultivation technique and extrapolating a higher-level cultivation technique. Simply put, it’s a peerless treasure that belongs to the path of divination… In the end, Gongye Jiu, a genius on the path of divination, misunderstood this treasure. I suspect that he did it on purpose, but it doesn’t seem like it now. Perhaps Gongye Jiu’s memories were jumbled after he left his immortal body, or perhaps there’s something wrong with the Upper Realm. Bro, I advise you not to blindly join any cultivation force. They might have embarked on the wrong path of cultivation! Perhaps this is the reason why only the Heavenly Saint has been able to ascend to the Upper Realm for so many years…”

Jiang Ming was stunned. He suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Could it be because of Qing Tianzi?”
