No, I have to see with my own eyes how the miscellaneous spirit stones are purified!
Yuanxiao also felt that there was another important thing that needed to be done, as if he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for the moment! This feeling made him a little anxious, but he could only wait for the opportunity when inspiration would come!
So I suppressed this thought for the time being, and looked at how the miscellaneous spirit stones were purified, and then thought about where I had been negligent.
Yuanxiao placed the few miscellaneous spirit stones and apocalypse beads that had not been purified yet on the edge in front of him and put them close together.
After a few breaths, one could vaguely see a few wisps of light mist floating out from the Apocalypse Pearl. These mists were similar to the mist that rises when drinking hot water, but thinner and less noticeable.
Yuanxiao reached out and touched the Apocalypse Pearl, and with the tip of his finger he felt the slightly concave area he had discovered before. He vaguely discovered that the clouds and mist were floating out from this concave area.
Yuan Xiao didn't dare stare at this depression for too long. The last time he stared at it for too long, his head felt like it was about to explode. He felt a pull from the Apocalypse Pearl, as if his soul was being sucked in. Yuan Xiao hadn't yet officially entered cultivation, so he didn't have the strength to explore these strange places.
These clouds and mists were similar to the aura contained in the spirit stone, but they were purer and made people feel more comfortable. Yuan Xiao judged that these clouds and mists were spiritual energy, and it was only because of the special mystery of the Apocalypse Pearl that they were visible to the naked eye.
The spiritual energy of the immortal realm can normally be felt by cultivators within a certain distance through their bodies and spiritual consciousness, but it is not easily visible to the naked eye. Only in special circumstances, such as encountering a spiritual spring, can the gaseous or liquid spiritual energy be seen with the naked eye.
After about ten breaths, a fine layer of gray gradually appeared on the mixed spirit stone, and it gradually increased. Some black impurities also emerged and mixed with the gray, forming a black-gray mixture that continued to grow. It was like an old household object that had not been used for years and was gradually covered with dust.
After about half an incense stick of time, the mixed spirit stone stopped changing, and no new impurities were expelled. Yuan Xiao picked it up and blew away the dust on it. In his hand, it suddenly turned into a pure white low-grade spirit stone.
The purification speed only takes half an incense stick!
Therefore, as long as Yuanxiao can find a steady supply of miscellaneous spirit stones, he will be a wealthy man in the world of immortal cultivation and will never lack low-grade spirit stones.
Yuanxiao didn't know where else to find miscellaneous spirit stones. But the mine at the old site of Yunhai Gate definitely had miscellaneous spirit stones. As long as he could think of a way to come to the mine in the back mountain more often, it would be fine.
I have been tentatively accepted as an inner sect disciple, but I also have to serve as an outer sect disciple for a year first. Can I stay at the old site during this year of outer sect training? I must strive for it later, Yuanxiao made up his mind.
Yuan Xiao suddenly had another bold idea: since the Apocalypse Pearl could purify miscellaneous spirit stones into low-grade spirit stones in just half an incense stick of time, if he used the Apocalypse Pearl to further purify these already purified low-grade spirit stones, could he obtain mid-grade spirit stones?
As soon as he thought of it, he put it to the test! Yuan Xiao piled the pile of low-grade spirit stones he had purified in front of him tightly together with the Apocalypse Pearl. He stared at it intently, observing it carefully.
Half an incense stick has passed...
A stick of incense passed...
Two sticks of incense have passed...
…
An hour passed...
This pile of low-grade spirit stones did not change at all.
Could it be that the Apocalypse Pearl could only purify mixed spirit stones into low-grade spirit stones, but not low-grade spirit stones into medium-grade spirit stones? Yuan Xiao fell into deep thought.
If that were the case, then after the Lantern Festival, all that could be obtained were low-grade spirit stones. As for mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, top-grade spirit stones, and ultimate spirit stones, they would no longer be obtainable with the Apocalypse Pearl.
wrong!
Yuan Xiao suddenly realized an oversight. These low-grade spirit stones had already been purified once, purified from miscellaneous spirit stones. They weren't inherently low-grade spirit stones!
If it is a low-grade spirit stone, can it be purified into a medium-grade spirit stone?
Low-grade Spiritual Stones, where can I find ready-made low-grade Spiritual Stones?!
Yuan Xiao's head suddenly buzzed. Yes! Aren't the low-grade spirit stone samples sent by Yunhaimen just ready-made low-grade spirit stones?
Yuan Xiao excitedly placed the low-grade spirit stone sample given by the sect together with the Apocalypse Pearl. Although this sample was cut and very small, it was undoubtedly a genuine low-grade spirit stone.
Yuanxiao stared at the low-grade spirit stone sample nervously.
After about half an incense stick of time, the low-grade spirit stone sample began to change. A layer of white powder oozed out of it, and the amount of white powder increased.
After about an incense stick of time, the low-grade spirit stone sample stopped changing, and no more white powder seeped out. However, a pleasant spiritual aura had already appeared in the air.
Yuanxiao picked up the low-grade spirit stone sample and blew gently. The white powder dispersed, revealing a lustrous green spirit stone!
Green Spirit Stone! Medium-grade Spirit Stone!
Zhang Dahai had previously explained to them that low-grade spirit stones were white, mid-grade spirit stones were green, high-grade spirit stones were blue, top-grade spirit stones were purple, and the legendary ultimate spirit stones were dark orange! This purified green spirit stone was surprisingly a mid-grade spirit stone!
It turns out that it's not that the Apocalypse Pearl can't purify low-grade spirit stones into medium-grade spirit stones, but that miscellaneous spirit stones can't be purified and upgraded twice in a row! If it's already a low-grade spirit stone, then it can evolve into a medium-grade spirit stone!
Yuan Xiao held the green mid-grade spirit stone in his hand, feeling the rich spiritual energy. He continued to think: Could the Apocalypse Pearl also purify mid-grade spirit stones into high-grade spirit stones?
I don't have any mid-grade spirit stones on hand right now, so I can't complete this experiment.
Let's take this mid-grade Spirit Stone, obtained from the sample purification, and test it out! However, based on the test just now, it's unlikely to be able to be upgraded further. We'll conduct this complete experiment when we have a ready-made mid-grade Spirit Stone.
Yuanxiao placed the purified green mid-grade spirit stone next to the Apocalypse Pearl, letting the two lean against each other, and continued to observe.
A stick of incense passed...
An hour passed...
Three hours passed...
The green mid-grade spirit stone did not change at all, just as expected.
The current conclusion is: The Apocalypse Pearl can purify existing Spirit Stones once, upgrading them to higher-quality Spirit Stones of the next level. However, it cannot purify twice in a row, and Spirit Stones that have been purified once cannot be purified or upgraded again.
Of course, this conclusion may not be completely correct. It can only be said to be a temporary conclusion. Yuan Xiao deeply feels that the Apocalypse Pearl has many mysteries. What he knows now may only be the tip of the iceberg. Even his current understanding may be wrong!
For example, the small depression on the Apocalypse Pearl can make one feel their souls being pulled and suffer from splitting headaches if they stare at it for too long. What is this small depression? What is hidden inside?
Yuan Xiao's current strength was too weak to even reach the level of exploration. If he hadn't perished in the future, perhaps by reaching a certain level of cultivation, these problems would have been easily resolved. Fortunately, these problems weren't urgent.
There are a few things to do during the Lantern Festival that need to be prioritized!
