Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

"My friend, didn't you say this isn't a spiritual stone? Why do we still need to go to the mine?"

Master Wen Dou was very confused.

Chen Xian withdrew his hand, saying that he was too excited just now.

This is indeed not a spirit stone, but a formation stone.

A kind of mineral that is very similar to spirit stone, its function is to make formations.

Whether it is the killing formation of Tai Chi or the defensive maze of Zhuge Bagua, this kind of ore is needed.

The most important thing is that there must be spirit stone mines in the core of this formation stone vein.

The grade of the spirit stone ore depends on the scale of the array stone vein.

According to the experience of the previous life, the size of the spirit stone mine should be about one percent of the entire formation stone vein.

"Master Wen Dou, you don't know that although this is not a spirit stone mine, there must be a spirit stone mine where there is this kind of formation stone vein."

"Please also let me know my address so that our transaction can still stand."

After saying that, Chen Xian took out the 7th-level wind magic crystal and handed it to Master Wen Dou.

Although Master Wen Dou looked at the 7th-order wind magic crystal with burning eyes, he did not take it.

Seeing his complicated expression, Chen Xian thought about what he had said before about the function of this ore and realized that it must be an important resource for the empire and could not be traded easily.

"Is it because this mineral vein is too valuable and involves the interests of the empire?"

"Master Wen Dou, you can say whatever you want. As the only disciple of the Saint of Light, I have enough resources to exchange with the Empire."

Chen Xian had no choice but to bring up the old dean and hint to Master Wen Dou that the Saint of Light had left him a lot of resources.

Master Wen Dou sighed.

"This mineral vein is indeed an imperial resource, but it is not valuable. I am getting a great bargain by exchanging it for your 7th-level magic crystal. I am afraid that the Saint of Light will blame me after knowing it."

So he was worried about this. The old man didn't know that these magic crystals were the relics of his parents in this world.

It has nothing to do with the Saint of Light.

"Master, don't worry about this. My master is very understanding. I have the right to deal with this magic crystal. Besides, these spirit stones were also ordered by my master to be collected..."

Chen Xian once again borrowed the title of the old dean. After all, he is the Saint of Light, so awesome.

"So it's the Saint of Light who needs it. In fact, as long as he asks, the Emperor of the Empire will definitely offer it to him with both hands."

"That won't work. My teacher will never ask for such an important resource as the Formation Stone."

Wen Dou looked at Chen Xian strangely.

"Don't you know that although this formation stone is rare, it is actually worthless."

Chen Xian was puzzled. If it was rare, why was it not valuable?

Seeing that Chen Xian was indeed unaware of the situation, Wen Dou patiently explained that he wanted to make things clear before the transaction to avoid being troubled by the Saint of Light in the future.

"Although this formation stone is a necessary material for the construction of protective formations in various capitals, and its defense is stable and powerful, its driving power requires at least a 7th-level magic crystal."

"As for the 7th-level magic crystal, it is currently in short supply on the continent, and each kingdom only has a few of them."

"So even if you have a lot of formation stones, it's useless without a power source."

"The empire's defensive formation was set up thousands of years ago. It has only been activated once so far, and the formation base is intact and does not need to be replaced."

"This array stone mine is a mine that looks very powerful, but is actually of little value. The empire is also guarding it as a reserve."

Chen Xian thought for a moment and decided that he still needed the emperor's approval.

"Okay, this magic crystal is the deal we agreed on before, I'll give it to you. As for the mineral vein, I still need to go see His Majesty the Emperor."

Wen Dou carefully caught the 7th-order wind magic crystal thrown by Chen Xian.

With a gleam in his eyes, he packed up the magic crystal and said apologetically.

"I didn't find the spiritual stone you wanted, so I feel a little guilty about it. I need to go into seclusion now. I'll give you a letter. When the time comes, give it to His Majesty the Emperor. He will give you the mining rights to the mineral vein."

……

After leaving Master Wen Dou's residence, Chen Xian'an returned the same way.

Holding Master Wen Dou's letter in his arms.

This old guy is actually in seclusion now. It seems that he is worried that he will regret it later, so he uses the magic crystal first.

I met the previous examiner Gang Huo in the back hall.

He was sitting in a rocking chair, drinking tea leisurely, and looking at the magic timer in his hand from time to time.

"It's been almost half an hour, and no one has passed yet. That's terrible. Fortunately, I set up a sound barrier, so I can't hear any more quacking."

Seeing Chen Xian coming out of the backyard, Gang Huo immediately stood up and went to greet him.

"Sir, have you seen the Palace Master?"

Chen Xian nodded and responded to him.

Gang was extremely excited when he received a positive answer.

"Is the old Palace Master in good health?"

"He has been in seclusion for a long time. I haven't seen him for several years."

"Has the Palace Master come out of seclusion?"

……

A series of questions made Chen Xian's ears buzz.

"After seeing me, the Palace Master has gone into seclusion. He asked me to discuss something with His Majesty the Emperor."

Chen Xian was afraid that Gang Huo would ask more questions, so he asked cleverly.

"Examiner, shouldn't you be presiding over the alchemist examination? Master Wen Dou is very concerned about the examination. Why are you drinking tea here alone?"

Ganghuo waved his hands quickly.

"You misunderstood, young master. I have already given the first test question, identifying the magic potion, and the second test question is to refine high-purity metal."

"They haven't finished the first test question yet. They are turning into frogs in the hall. When you go out, watch your step. Those frogs are students taking the test."

"Only if you find the antidote within the transformation time can you pass the first level. The second level is to refine high-purity metals in the furnaces in the inner courtyard."

Chen Xian looked at the dozens of furnaces in the inner courtyard, with dark red ore placed next to them.

It looks like a test of iron smelting. I wonder if these students who have not received nine years of compulsory education know how to strip off the oxygen atoms from iron oxide.

"Yes, that's interesting. I will speak well of you in front of the Palace Master."

"Okay, I still have important things for the Palace Master to do, so you should focus on completing the assessment."

Gang Huo was delighted to hear that Chen Xian was going to speak well of him in front of the palace master.

"Thank you, sir. I will definitely conduct a strict screening process so that only the best students can enter my Alchemy Guild."

Gang Huo nodded and bowed, and wanted to send Chen Xian out.

Chen Xianbai waved his hand, saying that assessment was more important and asked him to stick to his post.

He went into the front hall and prepared to go out.

The door to the front hall was closed, but fortunately there was skylight from the top of the hall and magic lights were lit on the surrounding walls.

The hall was unusually bright.

Piles of robes were neatly spread out on the ground.

On the ground in front of the robe, there were more than a hundred bottles of potions in the same standard bottles.

Dozens of frogs were moving among the array of medicine bottles.

Some frogs sit on the ground, cross-legged on their hind legs, with their chins resting on their forelimbs (well, frogs don't have chins), as if they are thinking.

Some held the medicine bottle, put their heads into the bottle mouth and sniffed the smell.

Some seemed to have given up, revealing their white bellies and lying on the ground with their arms and legs spread out.

……

Not a single frog tried to drink the potion.

Chen Xian lamented the weirdness of the alchemist assessment and walked forward to take a look at the potion.

"Qua~"

A frog's scream was heard.

Why was it a scream? Because Chen Xian accidentally stepped on one of the frog's legs.

Chen Xian picked up the frog under his feet.

This frog is small and slender, and its skin feels very smooth.

He looked at the frog's legs and fortunately he didn't step on them hard, they were just slightly red.

Chen Xian felt bad when he thought that this was caused by one of the students taking the assessment.

He patted the frog's back, which felt very good. It actually reminded him of Lan'er's butt.

He actually had thoughts about a frog.

Shake your head and forget that horrible thought.

After all, this frog could be a male.

"Little guy, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. You can choose this potion and change back. It will be my apology."

The frog struggled desperately in Chen Xian's hands and jumped to the ground.

Watching Chen Xian take out the potion from the potion array and place it in front of her.

After thinking for a while, he finally drank the whole potion in one gulp.

Then jump to the robe position.

Before it reached the robe, the slender frog's body began to swell and become slender.

"bump"

It's like a frog growing bigger like a balloon being blown up, and then returning to its original shape.

A flawless, graceful figure appeared.

Chen Xian’s eyes widened. It turned out to be the Frog Princess.

And he was not wearing any clothes.

Fairy tales are indeed lies.

"Ah~"

A sharp voice echoed through the hall.
