Chapter 17: pick jade

In Huayuan Kingdom, a martial arts competition is held every year, which is subdivided into two parts.

The first is the fifteen-year-old contest that Shi Hao participated in last year, which is strictly age-limited.

Because most people start to practice martial arts at the age of fourteen, and those who are earlier are only thirteen years old, so it should not be too early. High-intensity training will seriously affect the development of young people, and it will be harmful and unhelpful.

Therefore, fifteen years old is the first year for ordinary people to practice martial arts. Geniuses will definitely emerge, but they have no shape, and there is a lot of room for training. Therefore, Imperial College will select one every year and focus on training.

In addition, it is an age-free competition. As long as students from the academy are eligible to participate, the champion can also join the Imperial Academy.

Of course, the maximum age to stay in the academy is only 20 years old, so in fact, there is an age limit, but it is more relaxed.

Shi Hao can participate in the second competition, and the first thing to do is to obtain the representative right of Starwind Academy.

The selection competition will be held one month later. Two representatives will be selected, and then they will go to the county seat to participate in the second round of selection. Only when they stand out in this selection will they be eligible to go to the imperial capital to participate in the finals.

This is not in a hurry, just participate in the selection battle when the time comes.

Shi Hao now has an astonishingly large skill library, including medical skills, alchemy skills, rune skills, casting tools, and formation methods. He only needs to open up the corresponding memory to have complete skills.

As far as Shi Hao knows, Hua Yuanguo has only three pieces of medicine, alchemy, and casting. However, Huayuanguo's alchemy is simply dispensing medicines, such as dragon and tiger ointment. From Shi Hao's point of view, Still in the primitive period of ignorance.

The same is true of casting tools. Although there are big killing weapons such as the Cloud Piercing Crossbow, Moon Slaughter Bow, and Amethyst Cannon, even if it is the most powerful amethyst cannon, a shot will at most just blast a big hole in the city wall.

But in Shi Hao's memory, a powerful magic weapon can destroy mountains and evaporate oceans with one blow, which is terrifying beyond description.

And this, Shi Hao can create.

Of course, the premise is that there are corresponding materials. Otherwise, Shi Hao's current strength is too weak, and he can't even swing a hammer.

What Shi Hao is most interested in is the formation path.

Array Road, borrowing the power of mountains, rivers and the earth, can trap people, kill people, and even kill thousands of troops.

However, to set up such a killing formation requires a lot of materials. Shi Hao can't set it up yet, and it doesn't make much sense.

What he wanted to arrange was a formation called "Samsung Gathering Array".

Once this formation is formed, it can forcibly gather the energy of heaven and earth around it. Then, cultivating in such an environment will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Arranging this formation requires a lot of jade, which is the medium through which the formation communicates with the natural world. The higher the quality of the jade, the more powerful the formation will be.

For example, if this three-star gathering spirit array is constructed with ordinary jade, it can forcefully extract the energy of heaven and earth within 10 feet nearby, but if high-quality jade is used, the range can be expanded to 20 feet or 30 feet. very big.

Early the next morning, Shi Hao went to the jade shop, planning to choose some good jade and get this three-star gathering array, so that he would not have to go to Dayun Mountain.

He still has 1,000 taels of silver on him, and Lin Yuyue can't count on it for the time being. However, if he is really short of money, Hailing Martial Arts Hall can also provide a lot of support. After all, it is Meng Yangcheng's local snake. A lot of wealth must have been accumulated over the years.

"Master, are you going to buy jade or gold and silver jewelry?" Immediately after entering the store, a girl in red came up to greet him and asked him softly, her eyes full of small stars.

Shi Hao has long been surprised by this, he is indeed good-looking.

He smiled and almost made the girl in red faint with excitement: "I'm going to buy some rough jade stones that haven't been treated."

The girl in red was a little strange, because almost no one would buy rough stones. She was clever and suddenly realized: "So the young master is still a master of jade carving!"

Shi Hao just smiled and didn't deny it, it didn't matter.

This almost caused the red-clothed girl to explode on the spot again. She got carried away, and after being stunned for a while, she said, "Young master, please wait a moment, I'll go get the original stone right away."

She went to pick up the rough stone, and several other female clerks in the store gathered around. There was no business anyway, and such a good-looking man was rare.

After a while, the girl in red brought over a lot of jade stones, all of which were unprocessed raw stones.

The girl in red was still introducing, this is Mianyu, that is Ziyu, and that is Miaoyu.

Shi Hao picked up and observed them one by one, but he was not satisfied.

Aside from the appearance, the jade used to build the formation must be pure. The purer it is, the easier it is to communicate with the energy of heaven and earth, and the better the formation is of course.

"I want the kind of jade that looks transparent, and the one without a trace of impurities is the best." He said.

This surprised several female shop assistants. What kind of selection method is this? It is completely different from the general public's aesthetic point of view.

"Then I'll look for it again." The girl in red said.

Just as she was about to leave, she smelled a gust of fragrant wind, and then saw a mature and beautiful woman approaching, twisting the waist of a water snake, she was so charming, even her little girl was a little red-faced.

"Sister Yu!" She greeted quickly, this is the owner of the jade shop.

Those female clerks also quickly greeted the beautiful woman, and then returned to their positions to avoid being scolded badly.

Shi Hao also took a look, this beautiful woman looked twenty-four or five years old, her skin was as white as jade, her almond eyes were like water, but her cherry lips were like fire. During the time, her narrow water snake waist was fully highlighted.

Bulging forward and backward, this figure is extremely hot.

"I thought I was watching something lively, it turned out to be a good-looking little brother." The beautiful woman smiled, winking and discharging her eyes, making her whole body numb.

Several female shop assistants all stuck out their tongues secretly. If such a handsome little brother was attracted by their boss, he would definitely be eaten to the bone!

"Sister Yu, this gentleman wants to buy pure and transparent rough stones." The girl in red said quickly to prove that she was actually working seriously.

"Oh?" The beautiful woman showed a look of surprise, glanced at Shi Hao, and then said, "Go to the No. 3 warehouse and bring the rough stones there."

After all, he gave the girl in red a key.

"Yes." The girl took the key and hurried out.

"Little brother, what do you want this rough stone for?" the beautiful woman asked, with a seductive thirst for knowledge on her face.

When ordinary men see it, they will definitely be unable to resist the temptation and vomit.

Shi Hao said, "Use it to practice craftsmanship."

The beautiful woman giggled, and the flowers trembled. This was really terrible. The towering chest was so surging, it was enough to make a man with a weak will jump up immediately. Even if he was more determined, he couldn't look away now.

Shi Hao didn't look sideways, only if he didn't see it.

The beautiful woman was surprised, she put away her smile and said, "If you just practice your craftsmanship, why should you care whether the jade is pure or not?"

Shi Hao smiled: "OCD."
