Chapter 240 The strange energy in the stone

Because of the black stone.

So Lu Fan was full of expectations for the stalls here, hoping to encounter another treasure that could trigger a system reminder.

Unfortunately, he took Xiahou Dun and Pang De to wander around the east of the city for an hour or two, but did not encounter any treasure that triggered a system reminder.

Helplessly, the three of them could only return to the inn with great disappointment.

When the three of them returned to the inn, An Lan and Lu Wushuang and the other four had returned for a while and were sitting in the lobby of the inn chatting.

Seeing this, Lu Fan and the other two also sat over, and the group chatted casually.

However, because they had to travel tomorrow, and there were other monks around, the group did not talk about anything important.

They just chatted casually for a few words, and then returned to their rooms.

Although the room was not very luxurious, the space was large enough and it was also clean.

After returning to the room, Lu Fan sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it by himself, and also took out the black stone he had just bought at the stall in the east of the city and put it on the table.

Looking at this fist-sized black stone, Lu Fan's face showed curiosity.

Although the system gave a prompt just now, it did not say what this black stone was and what kind of function it had.

However, there is no doubt that this stone is definitely not simple.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan put down the teacup and picked up the fist-sized black stone to study it carefully.

There are many pits and bumps on the surface of this fist-sized black stone, which looks like a hardened hornet's nest.

There is a faint coolness in the hand, which is not very obvious, just like holding a piece of iron.

After observing with the naked eye for a while, Lu Fan directly urged his spiritual consciousness to explore into this black stone.

However, when his spiritual consciousness touched the surface of this black stone, it was blocked.

No matter how he urged his spiritual consciousness, he could not explore into this black stone.

He tried seven or eight times in a row, but it was useless. The spiritual consciousness could not explore inside.

This immediately surprised Lu Fan.

After all, ordinary objects cannot block the exploration of spiritual consciousness, but this black stone blocks spiritual consciousness.

Since spiritual consciousness cannot explore it, Lu Fan urged spiritual power to explore into this black stone.

This time there was no obstacle, and the spiritual power successfully focused on the black stone.

However, after he injected spiritual power into it, the connection was immediately cut off, and he could not explore the situation inside through spiritual power at all.

This made Lu Fan more interested.

So he directly urged spiritual consciousness to explore into this black stone again.

But it was different from before.

This time he urged spiritual consciousness to explore while urging his own spiritual power to explore into the black stone.

He didn't believe that he couldn't find the secret hidden in this black stone.

Of course, he could also ask the system directly to get the answer.

But at this moment he wanted to try to explore it himself first, and he didn't rush to ask the system if it didn't work.

Anyway, he still had a lot of time at this moment, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't want to practice, so it was best to use this thing to kill time.

As the spiritual consciousness and spiritual power simultaneously probed into the black stone, the exploring spiritual consciousness and spiritual power were simultaneously sucked into the black stone.

Just like before, the spiritual power was directly cut off after being injected into the black stone, and the spiritual consciousness was exactly the same.

Fortunately, the spiritual consciousness that Lu Fan separated to explore was only a tiny trace, and even if it was lost, it would not be injured.

However, when the spiritual consciousness and spiritual power were injected at the same time, the spiritual consciousness would also be sucked into the stone, which was a new discovery.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan began to urge the spiritual consciousness and spiritual power to be injected into the black stone again.

However, this time he immediately stopped the injection of spiritual power when he was halfway through the injection, but did not stop the injection of spiritual consciousness.

Just as he urged the spiritual consciousness to continuously explore and inject it inside, he clearly felt that there was a trace of strange power in the black stone that merged into his spiritual consciousness.

Although this trace of strange power was very weak and almost negligible.

But it was still detected by Lu Fan who felt it carefully.

Moreover, as this insignificant strange power merged into his spiritual consciousness, Lu Fan clearly felt that his spiritual consciousness had actually improved a lot.

After feeling this, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

For cultivators, spiritual consciousness is absolutely of extremely important use, even indispensable.

It can be used to explore the surrounding environment, to explore the other party's cultivation, and to explore various treasures, etc.

Any cultivator above the Condensation Realm can condense spiritual consciousness.

It is very simple to condense spiritual consciousness, but it is very difficult to increase the strength of spiritual consciousness.

Only when the cultivation level is improved can you get the opportunity to improve and condense spiritual consciousness. As for using external forces, it is basically very difficult, mainly because there is no such treasure to improve and condense spiritual consciousness.

Moreover, spiritual consciousness is related to soul power. When spiritual consciousness is improved, it can also assist the improvement of soul power.

For cultivators, soul power is more important.

After all, the reason why a cultivator survives is entirely because of the existence of the soul body. The cultivators in the Condensation Realm and above can condense the Yuanshen, which is equivalent to the second soul body.

But before the Condensation Realm, the soul body is the life of the cultivator. Once it is lost, it is a fatal injury.

And soul power determines the strength of the soul body, just like the spiritual power in the body of a cultivator.

The strength of soul power is closely related to the cultivation speed and perception ability of the cultivator.

This shows the benefits of improving spiritual awareness and soul power.

The reason why Lu Fan knew this was also related to his catching up on a lot of cultivation information.

After all, he knew very little about cultivation in his previous life, and Lu Fan had no choice but to rely on himself.

Fortunately, there were various ancient books in the treasure houses he looted and in the storage rings of some strong men.

These ancient books recorded various news, which were all read and recorded by Lu Fan.

It gave him a deep understanding of cultivation, so that he could know about the news about soul body and spiritual awareness.

If not, he would be in the dark at this moment and know nothing.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, Lu Fan suppressed his excitement and continued to try.

He was afraid that the strange power he felt just now was an illusion.

So this time he tried to feel it more seriously, and soon felt that strange power again.

At this moment, he clearly confirmed that this trace of strange power came from this black stone.

To put it simply, this black stone contains this strange power that can enhance spiritual consciousness and soul.

After confirming this, Lu Fan suddenly became excited...
