As long as they were processed by alchemists, the value of immortal stones would increase by several times. Although those jades were not processed by alchemists, they were still very expensive. When they were taken away by powerhouses of Golden Roc Bank, Golden Roc Bank valued them at 1.64 million gold coins.
Although Golden Roc Bank wanted to buy these immortal stones very much and showed their great sincerity, Zhang Tie didn't want to sell them.
For others, these immortal stones were just gold coins.
However, for Zhang Tie, these immortal stones had another meaning.
After a team of powerhouses of Golden Roc Bank arrived at this region, Zhang Tie had a talk with a powerhouse of Golden Roc Bank who came down from the ground.
...
"Of course, immortal stones could not make people immortal; however, they could increase one's lifespan. Actually, one of the purposes for people to cultivate and light their own surging points is to increase their lifespan. Commoners' lifespan is about 90 years. By then, they would age. As long as they could reach the standard of LV 9 fighters, with the release of their physical potentials, they could live up to 120 years. Additionally, their lifespan would be delayed correspondingly. Later on, with each level up, their lifespan would increase correspondingly!"
"How much could one's lifespan increase after reaching knight level?"
"If there's no accident, a knight could live up to 400 years!"
"400 years?" Zhang Tie's voice was full of amazement.
"Of course, besides knights' lifespan, in the Eastern Continent, a set of top-quality immortal stones made by alchemist masters could extend one's lifespan by over 200 years. It's priceless. With a set of top-quality immortal stones, knights could have a longer lifespan. These immortal stones that you've found are too small and trivial. Additionally, they are of different levels. As a result, their value is greatly reduced. Otherwise, they could be sold at a higher price! "
"The Stone of Immortality set you mentioned, does it have the same effect on ordinary people?"
"Of course, this is the embodiment of the value of immortal stones!"
"How much can I buy such a set of immortal stones?"
"Such a set of immortal stones is rarely seen even in the Eastern Continent. It would almost not appear in the market. After collecting materials, big clans would entrust alchemist masters to process them. You can't buy it even if you have money! "
"Can people really live forever?"
"According to the legend of Hua people, in far-ancient times, humans could easily live over 10,000 years. Those who died at 800-900 years old were regarded as premature death. Therefore, the human body was the most precious treasure in the world!"
…
After that, he signed a complete trust preservation business with Golden Roc Bank. After promising that Golden Roc Bank would have the preemptive right to purchase those immortal stones on the same conditions, the staff of Golden Roc Bank left with those immortal stones.
However, Zhang Tie was a bit restless because of the conversation.
Not until then did he know that he could greatly increase his lifespan after cultivating to a certain degree. Additionally, a set of top-quality immortal stones made by an alchemist master could increase one's lifespan by almost 200 years. The two pieces of information were really shocking to Zhang Tie. In the past, he only knew that cultivation could improve one's health and longevity, and that the Stone of Immortality could extend one's lifespan. However, he wasn't very clear about the exact details. He didn't expect that he would suddenly understand the mysteries behind it.
Zhang Tie knew that as a cannon fodder who grew up in Blackhot City and was trained as a screw in the city, he was born with a great limitation in knowledge structure and cognition about the world. Even though he had stayed in Hidden Dragon Island for a few days, he could only slightly make up for this limitation. Zhang Tie's conversation with the powerhouse of Golden Roc Bank didn't change fundamentally. It only confirmed this point once again.
For some people, as long as they reached a certain age and level, they would be able to touch and learn such knowledge, which would greatly expand their vision and thinking. To him, unless there was a fortuitous encounter, a lot of information in this world would be closed off to him.
The reason why Zhang Tie didn't sell those immortal stones was that he remembered his cheap master Zhao Yuan. After hearing the words of the powerhouse, Zhang Tie's parents gradually aged. At the same time, a whim flashed across Zhang Tie's mind, "No matter what price I have to pay, I have to let my parents enjoy the benefits of the Stone of Immortality and live longer and longer." Due to various reasons, his parents didn't go far on the road of cultivation. Therefore, their lifespan was limited. This was Zhang Tie's biggest regret. If he could make up for this regret, money and stones were nothing.
At this moment, Zhang Tie experienced the power of an alchemist once again. Therefore, Zhang Tie's ambition to be an alchemist grew firmer.
Of course, if he wanted his parents to live longer and realize his wish, the first step was to be powerful himself. Zhang Tie finally understood why so many people would do that in order to promote to a higher level. Because being powerful could bring them lifespan — — 5-6 times longer than commoners' lifespan besides battle strength.
Zhang Tie had never imagined that he could live for hundreds of years. But now, a thought that had never occurred to him occurred to him.
"Perhaps, I could also live 400-500 years." Zhang Tie muttered to himself as his heart was filled with passion. Zhang Tie felt that he had pushed open a gate in front of him, which contained a wonderful world that he had never imagined. Because of this, the boring process of cultivating and polishing surging points seemed to have a special meaning when he recalled it.
"Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate!"
Like a machine that had been installed with a motor, Zhang Tie became extremely fanatical about cultivation. At the same time, Zhang Tie realized that lighting surging points was the foundation of cultivation!
...
Stimulated by the immortal stones that Zhang Tie had gained, the 200-odd guys in Zhang Tie's team with green eyes almost all circled around the small building where Zhang Tie found the immortal stones in the following two days. He began to put in a lot of effort to clean up the ruins of the small building.
Facing the powerful organization and fighting force of these people, of course, those pioneers who wanted to make a fortune in the small building were driven away mercilessly. In the beginning, many pioneers were a bit resistant; however, after knowing that these people were on the same side as Zhang Tie, all the pioneers left and dared not disturb Zhang Tie anymore.
Two days later, the ruins that buried the small building were cleared out. Those guys really did find a lot of things in the ruins, among which there were dozens of pieces of the Stone of Immortality and jewelry that were either intact or broken. They were worth 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins.
Everyone's morale was greatly boosted. They felt that coming to the relic this time was the right decision. How could it be so easy for them to fight on the ground?
These days, Zhang Tie, Sam and Gerri also wandered in and around this relics. Superficially, they were looking for another chance to make a fortune; actually, they were just trying to be familiar with the surrounding environment and topography so as to prepare for the real super relics.
Although they were just pretending, Zhang Tie's good luck seemed to have run out at once. However, it seemed that Zhang Tie's good luck had been used up at once. Although Zhang Tie participated in the excavation these days, he didn't make any decent achievements. All he found were scrap metals.
During the past two days, Sam and Gerri "passed by" the place where they found the wrapper of the bizarre ham sausage before the Catastrophe. It was in a gloomy cave which extended to infinity in the distance. Nobody knew where the cave led to. They didn't know how deep it was. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the three of them didn't venture too deep.
In the past two days, Zhang Tie found that besides the allied forces and those pioneers, there were also many unidentified people from other forces and unknown identities in this relics and underground space. Those people had long entered this underground space when the allied forces blocked the relic valley. Their equipment and battle strength were all above that of common pioneers and most of the fighters of the allied forces.
Zhang Tie knew that besides experts like the Star and Moon Sword Sage. In this world, not everyone could control their greed for the piece of god's star. Someone would always come here with a fluke thought. Perhaps, the news that there was a super relics underground here had been spread out through a certain channel. Besides the allied forces and Golden Roc Bank, the others had also known this news.
Over the past couple of days, Zhang Tie had found some dead pioneers and some unidentified people's corpses more than once. Some of the corpses looked very miserable while their belongings had been rummaged. Such a situation made those who wanted to make a fortune in the underground world feel like pouring a basin of cold water on them.
The situation in the underground space was much more complex than Zhang Tie had imagined. Not only Zhang Tie, even the other vanguard teams of the allied forces had not imagined that. Facing the unknown danger, the vanguard teams of the allied forces gradually gathered together and acted together these days. The cake of wealth that was exposed in front of everyone was indeed bigger than what they had imagined.
...
In the evening 3 days after Zhang Tie discovered those immortal stones, Zhang Tie was standing on the top of a 30-storey skyscraper which only had half of its steel and cement framework left. Watching the light spots of fluorite lamps dispersing down there, Zhang Tie looked calm. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
The so-called evening was relative to the time on the earth's surface. In the underground space, besides the faint light from some fluorescent substances and heat energy in the rocks, there was no day or night. Therefore, one's biological clock could be easily disrupted.
"Those dogskin plasters finally didn't follow us!" Sam on Zhang Tie's side said indignantly.
"No matter what, these guys also care about their face. Additionally, this skyscraper has been rummaged by so many pioneers. There's nothing valuable here at all. If they followed us, they would not find anything except their faces!" Compared to Sam, Gerri's tone was relatively calm, "Haven't you found that those dogskin plasters behind Peter have been much fewer than yesterday after getting nothing for 2 consecutive days!"
"Indeed, it's much less than yesterday!" Sam nodded.
Hearing this, Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile. Like how gamblers liked to follow those lucky gamblers in the casino, since the news that Zhang Tie had discovered immortal stones and made a fortune spread among the vanguard of the allied forces, he had been followed by a lot of people the moment he came out with Sam and Gerri on the second day.
In the past few days, whenever he paid attention to a place, as long as he made a move or stayed a little longer, a bunch of guys would immediately run around him and start digging through the ruins.
After three consecutive days without any harvest, Zhang Tie knew that the patience of those guys downstairs had almost run out. If Zhang Tie was that lucky gambler, after gaining nothing for 3 days, those guys who followed him had already started to shift their attention to him. It was a good omen for Zhang Tie.
Those who followed him were just some common fighters of the allied forces who expected to make a fortune. Zhang Tie didn't feel bad about these fighters; however, being gazed at by these guys all day long, Zhang Tie didn't even have time to eat fruits in Castle of Black Iron. Therefore, he felt very depressed.
Therefore, after 3 days, even though he knew that there were a lot of fruits hanging in Castle of Black Iron and new fruits were still growing, he could only watch them outside.
"I don't know why, but I feel that it would be very dangerous to seek for the super relics!" After considering it carefully, Zhang Tie told Gerri and Sam, "As you've seen these days, the situation in the underground space is very complex and dangerous. Besides pioneers and allied forces, many people with unknown identities and forces have come here. Some people have already died. I hope you two can consider whether to seek for the super relics right away or not..."
