The existence of Wondrous Objects was not a secret. In this world, there was a book called the Book of Wondrous Objects. The Book of Wondrous Objects recorded all kinds of Wondrous Objects that had appeared in the world and their functions. There were even some legendary Wondrous Objects that people had only heard of but had never seen before. The Book of Wondrous Objects was also recorded.
In Qingyang Market, it could be said that Junior Leopard was well-read. Naturally, he had seen this "Records of Mysterious Objects" before. Moreover, he had read it many times, and he yearned for the Mysterious Objects described in it.
However, the biggest reason why Mysterious Objects could be called Mysterious Objects was that they were too few in number. Most people in this world, even in their entire lives, did not know what a Mysterious Object was.
Among the Mysterious Objects of Heaven and Earth, the most numerous and most common was probably the Spiritual Stone. The so-called Spiritual Stone was actually a piece of stone. At first glance, there was not much difference between it and an ordinary stone. However, this kind of stone contained pure Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Even if it was the lowest grade Spiritual Stone, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth contained within it was equivalent to an ordinary person's ten years of bitter cultivation. In a sense, this Spiritual Stone was similar to the Ten Thousand Year Red Fruit that Junior Leopard had read in martial arts novels. Eating one could increase one's cultivation by many years. In reality, this world did not lack things like the Red Fruit. These things were also called Mysterious Objects.
It was just that the cultivation system in this world was not the same as in martial arts novels. What was important was the combination of internal and external cultivation, internal and external cultivation, mutual reliance, and mutual support. Even if you held such a Mysterious Object in your hand, you would not dare to swallow it in one gulp. Otherwise, you would explode from the Spiritual Qi in your body. So to speak, Mysterious Objects like the Spiritual Stone that could increase one's cultivation seemed to be useless!
In fact, the Spiritual Stone contained pure Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was very easy to absorb. For example, a person who practiced Qi day and night practiced and inhaled and exhaled in order to build up his strength and swallow and exhale the essence of heaven and earth. From the incomparably vast heaven and earth, he absorbed strand after strand of the essence of the pneuma into his body and refined it into Internal Qi. Although this method was good, the efficiency was too low. It should be known that in meditation and inhaling and exhaling, 90% of the time was spent on purifying the Spiritual Qi. With the Spiritual Stone, it was different. If you had a suitable Spiritual Stone in your hand, you would not need to meditate and exhale for more than ten years. You only needed to directly absorb the Spiritual Qi from the stone and transform it into Internal Qi. Something that could be done in one night could be done in half a day. Who would not want such a good thing?
However, Mysterious Objects were Mysterious Objects. They were really too rare. Although the Spiritual Stone was known as the most common Mysterious Object in this world, there were not many of them. Once a piece appeared, it would inevitably be fought for. For a person like Junior Leopard who appeared at the bottom of Jianghu, naturally he had only heard of its name but had never seen it.
In addition to the Spiritual Stone, there was another kind of Mysterious Object in this world. It was the so-called Special Pearl!
Some of the Special Pearls were as big as a fist and some were as small as a soybean. Most of them came from various kinds of Strange Beasts and Evil Beasts. In the bodies of these Strange Beasts and Evil Beasts, there would often be a Special Pearl.
The most famous Special Pearls were the Dust Repelling Pearl, Fire Repelling Pearl, Water Repelling Pearl and so on. Although these kinds of pearls were not seen by many people, they were often mentioned in unofficial history novels.
Compared to the Spiritual Stone, the quantity of the Special Pearls was even rarer. Although the Spiritual Stone was rare, it was often traceable. In some deep mountains and swamps where the essence of the world was abundant, it could still be found. Occasionally, it could still appear in the world. This Special Pearl was different. The Special Pearl had nothing to do with the region, the Spiritual Qi, and the type of Strange Beasts and Evil Beasts. The only thing that was related to it was one's character.
This was a matter of character!
Legend has it that there was once a fisherman who fished up a turtle the size of a bowl from the river. On the shell, there was a bulge. When it was cut open, it turned out to be a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg. It was bright and could repel water and fire. It was a rare treasure. Looking at that turtle, it was just an ordinary turtle that could not be any more ordinary. It was no different from the turtles that were usually fished up. There was also once a peerless expert who killed a Dragon Turtle in the East Sea. This Dragon Turtle was very strong. Its Inner Dan was as big as a washbasin and it had an oppressive Spiritual Qi. The turtle shell was even harder than iron and stone. That expert spent a lot of effort to dismember it and cut open the turtle shell. Other than the flesh and blood and the Inner Dan, there was nothing else. There was also a farmer who was killing cows at the end of the year. He found a Special Pearl on the body of his family's old yellow cow. It was as big as a fist and it could actually accelerate the growth of plants. That yellow cow could not live more than ten years and there was nothing special about it.
This was character.
"Looks like my character has really exploded today!" Junior Leopard bent down to pick up this green pearl. A cool and refreshing feeling passed through his palm and spread along his arm to his whole body. His head that was emitting waves of pain just now was washed away by this cool feeling. He actually felt much better and his tiredness also eased up a lot. Junior Leopard was stunned for a moment.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, suddenly a beast's roar came from afar. He quivered and stuffed the pearl into the black lined bag. He then crouched down and rummaged through the Monster Toad's corpse for a while. Finally, from a pile of internal organs, he found an Inner Dan. He conveniently pulled up a piece of scarlet red cloth beside him and wiped the Inner Dan. Similarly, he placed it into the black cloth and golden lined bag. He turned around and left the steep valley. He came to the cliff cave that he usually rested in and threw the black lined bag to the side. He fell asleep.
This sleep lasted for one day and two nights. When he woke up, the sun was already high up in the sky.
"Hu — —!" After a long stretch, Junior Leopard only felt refreshed. He stood up and suddenly heard a chaotic noise outside the cave. Junior Leopard was startled and hurriedly walked to the entrance of the cave. He crouched down at the edge of the cliff and lowered his head to look down. He saw that under the bright sunlight, some were running, some were flying, some were jumping, some were running, some were flying, some were jumping. There were flower deer, rabbits, wild boars, monkeys and even a few fierce tigers and leopards. All of them gathered at the side of the small river under the waterfall and drank water. It was a harmonious scene.
"Strange, what's going on? A few days ago they all ran far away. But today, there are dozens of them. Could it be that they all know that the Evil Toad in the valley is finished?!"
Junior Leopard was secretly amazed. He stretched his body and checked his own body. "En, not bad. My internal strength has already recovered by 70-80%. My head doesn't hurt anymore. The effect of this sleep is not bad!"
In fact, he didn't suffer any serious injuries. He just used too much strength, which led to exhaustion. It was like a person who had done a day's work and was tired. He went back to eat a big meal and then had a good sleep. All of his fatigue disappeared.
"Gu gu gu — —!" While he was happy, a strange sound came from his stomach.
"I'm so f * cking hungry!" Junior Leopard just remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time. He rubbed his belly helplessly and laughed, "Well, don't scream, there will be food soon!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and two Kunai shot down. One shot the carotid artery of a wild boar that was drinking water, and the other nailed a small rabbit to the ground.
"Okay, the problem of lunch is solved!" Junior Leopard jumped down. The surrounding wild beasts that came to drink water dispersed, even the tiger and other fierce beasts were no exception.
He set up a few branches and made a fire. He skinned the rabbit and the wild boar and put them on the rack to roast. After a while, a rich fragrance came to his nose. The fat dripped on the burning charcoal below, making a crackling sound. The fire jumped from time to time, splashing a few faint sparks.
"It would be good if there was some salt!" Junior Leopard gnawed on the meat in his hand. It was very fragrant, but tasteless. But for Junior Leopard who was hungry now, it was enough.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Junior Leopard wiped his mouth and looked around. In the surroundings, except for him, there was not a single bird.
He shook his head helplessly. He jumped up again and returned to the cave halfway up the cliff. At a glance, he saw the black bag with golden patterns in the corner.
He brought this bag into the cave and didn't have time to look at it. Now that he had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, he naturally couldn't wait to open the bag.
Other than the green pearl and the Inner Elixir of the Evil Toad, there were only three things in the bag. A stone, a book and a sheepskin book.
"Could it be that this is the legendary Spiritual Stone?!"
Junior Leopard picked up the stone in the bag and held it in his palm. With a slight movement, a wave of extremely cold Spiritual Qi went through the Laogong point in his palm and went straight to his Dantian.
"Hiss!" Junior Leopard's body fiercely trembled. He swung his hand and threw the stone far away to the entrance of the cave. The stone left his hand, but his body was still trembling non-stop.
"Spiritual Stone, it really is a Spiritual Stone. Moreover, it contains the Spiritual Qi of the extreme Yin attribute. I practice the Fire Way Cultivation Method, it doesn't match at all!"
He sat cross-legged on the ground. After a full hour, he completely refined the wisp of cold Qi that he had just absorbed into his Dantian. He let out a long breath.
In theory, the Spiritual Qi contained within the Spiritual Stone could increase one's power. It could eliminate the process of absorbing and meditating. However, if the Spiritual Qi contained within the Spiritual Stone was not of the right attribute, the effort needed was not necessarily less than the steady breathing. Most of the time, the effect was twice the effort for half the result. Just like just now, refining that wisp of cold Qi took Junior Leopard a full hour's time. However, it didn't allow his Internal Strength to have any growth. The gains did not make up for the losses.
"Sigh, I thought I picked up a treasure. This thing can't be used and it's a pity to throw it away. Carrying it on my body will also bring me trouble. It's simply the legendary golden chicken ribs!" Junior Leopard's face was bitter. He ran to the bottom of the cave and picked up the Spiritual Stone. He threw it into the bag and took out the two books and the old sheepskin book.
"Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist?! This is a punching skill for forging bones?! "
Junior Leopard first opened a book, and was surprised. This book was not thick, and what was recorded on it was actually a punching skill for forging bones. Looking at the name of this punching skill, it should be a punching skill for forging bones in the Dark Sect. Junior Leopard flipped through it twice, and then put the book back into the bag.
This was a punching skill for forging bones that was hard to find. However, with his current body condition, he would need at least three years to practice it. It was better to keep it first.
He then opened another book. This book was slightly thinner than the Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist. There were a total of a dozen or so pages. On it was a sword technique.
"Silver Moon Sword Technique?!" Seeing the name of this sword technique, Junior Leopard's eyebrows jumped. He continued to flip until he reached the third last page. "Burning the Galaxy?"
This move "Burning the Galaxy" was the sword technique that Xue Wuya had passed on to him. It was one of the three killing moves of the Silver Moon Sword Technique.
"Hehe, it seems that Xue Wuya didn't fully understand this set of swordsmanship and only imparted it to me. Otherwise, with this set of swordsmanship and the Coal Dagger, it would be easy to kill the Evil Toad. He wouldn't need me!"
But on the other hand, Junior Leopard only saw that the Silver Moon Sword Technique was incomparably swift and sharp, but he didn't pay attention to how abnormal the Body Movements needed to be in order to use it. He forgot that Xue Wuya was seriously injured. When he was fighting with the Blood Toad, he relied on the Bloodfire Gang, but he couldn't display his body movements. Even if he used this Sword Technique, he couldn't display the full power of the Sword Technique. Against the Evil Toad, it was still a bit difficult. But Junior Leopard didn't pay attention to how abnormal the Body Movements were. He forgot that Xue Wuya was seriously injured. When he was fighting with the Blood Toad, he relied on the Bloodfire Gang, but he couldn't display his body movements. Even if he used this Sword Technique, he couldn't display its full power.
"This sword technique can be practiced. Although my Internal Strength is not enough, it is good to familiarize myself with the moves!" Junior Leopard was secretly happy. He carefully read through the sword technique again. That focused look was as if he wanted to firmly engrave everything in the book into his mind.
After reading for an entire hour, Junior Leopard finally recovered. "Now is not the time to study this!"
He hurriedly stuffed the sword manual into the bag and opened the sheepskin scroll.
In fact, Junior Leopard could not be sure whether this piece of skin was sheepskin or not. It only looked like it. He did not know how many years this scroll had existed and how many times it had been flipped through. It was covered with dust.
Taking a closer look, he found that there was a portrait of a naked person on the parchment. The portrait was painted with red lines and black dots. Junior Leopard naturally recognized that the red lines and black dots were the meridians and acupoints of the human body. Beside the portrait, there were many small characters, which seemed to be some kind of martial arts secret book. However, Junior Leopard did not know any of the characters.
