Chapter 8: Jade in Stone

  Su Dong was about to change into a set of work clothes when he heard a loud crash from outside, followed by Su Ning's cry of surprise.

  Su Dong suddenly stopped in his tracks and rushed into the yard.

  Only to see Su Ning holding a copper basin, unable to see the road, one foot stepped on empty air, and accidentally fell to the ground, spilling water from the basin all over the place.

  Suning didn't care about himself falling down, and hurriedly went to find those two pieces of agalmatolite. This kind of stone was originally brittle, and when it fell on the bluestone ground, it immediately shattered into four or five pieces. Suning pouted his mouth, looking very wronged.

  Su Dong hastily ran over and helped Su Ning up. Su Ning pointed at the clock on the ground and said, "Brother, it's all my fault. I broke your stone."

  Su Dong didn't think much of it and helped Su Ning brush off the dirt on his body, saying: "A few broken stones don't matter, as long as you're fine."

  After comforting Su Ning, Su Dongqing swept the broken stones on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if there was a black crystal on the ground, which shone brightly under the sunlight.

  Su Dong crouched down, picked up the crystal that was only about the size of a fingernail, and as soon as his fingers came into contact with its surface, a cool sensation spread through him.

  "Jade! It's actually jade!" Su Dong was taken aback, holding the black jade stone in his hand to examine it.

  Only this jade presents a strange black color! Like gemstones, it's very small in size, but its weight is quite heavy. Holding it in your hand feels soft and smooth.

  Su Dong thought for a moment and used an axe to smash the remaining four pieces of clock stone, resulting in each piece having a black jade stone inside!

  "Black jade grows in stalactites?"

  "Six stalactites surrounded the city in a circle, and right below was a pure white concave entrance?"

  "Deep in the Wufeng Mountains, inside a mountain cave..."

  Su Dong recalled what the man had said, his face growing more and more surprised, his eyes also lighting up.

  "A gem in the rough, it was a gem in the rough all along!" Su Dong couldn't help but exclaim.

  This thing called "Jade in Stone" was also the first time Su Dong saw it, and in the past he always heard his grandfather talk about it, but never encountered it. After all, the generation of Jade in Stone needs to borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the conditions are strict.

  It is said that in the early years, there were indeed jade produced from stones. Later on, due to human destruction and worsening natural environment, jade became scarce, making it hard to find even one piece. But this time, Su Dong obtained six pieces of jade from stones all at once, which is absolutely a miracle!

  Jade in stone is a natural ritual object! The black jade conveys the spirituality of water and the heaviness of rocks, making it perfect for building feng shui arrays.

  Originally intended to use stalactite temporarily, unexpectedly gained a real treasure! Made Su Dong's heart very excited.

  Su Dong raised his head and hastily instructed Su Ning: "Quick! Go take a look if that man who sold us the stone has left or not, if he hasn't left, we must invite him to our home!"

  That's why Su Ning went to find the person who sold the Zhongruyan, because these six black jade stones are so symmetrical, they might be the legendary Jade Cavern! There may still be a mother jade hidden in the place where it grew.

  The man who sells stones said that six roots of stalactite surround a circle, and the lower part is a white depression. If there really is mother jade, it should be hidden in that depression!

  A small piece of black jade is a decent magic tool, but the mother jade can be used as a magic tool embryo! If Su Dong can find that piece of mother jade, he can create his first major magic tool!

  Su Ning listened to her brother's instructions and went to the stone street to find that man who sold stalactite.

  At dusk, Suning returned home with a head full of sweat and said to Su Dong: "Brother, I'm sorry. I've been searching for him in the city for a long time but couldn't find him."

  Su Dong was slightly disappointed and quickly had Su Ning wash her face and take a rest.

  "It's just a family member, no need to say sorry. That person is a mountain dweller from the mountains, he must have gone home already. If you can't find him, then so be it, thanks for your trouble."

  At this moment, Su Dong had already carefully collected those few pieces of black jade and was holding them in the palm of his hand to warm them up.

  Su Ning walked over curiously, tilting her head to look at the few pieces of jade the size of fingernails in Su Dong's hand, and said curiously: "It's really strange, black jade actually grew out of these stones."

  Su Dong smiled slightly and said: "This thing is called Jade in Stone, it was formed through billions of years of catalysis in some special environments. Look at this color, doesn't it seem to be translucent?"

  Yes!

  Su Ning nodded heavily and said: "It's really beautiful, I even want to take a bite, is this jade expensive?"

  Su Dong burst out laughing: "My good brother, this isn't a matter of money, but something that can't be bought with any amount of silver! With them, I can make our courtyard have even stronger spiritual power!"

  Su Ning was stunned, after Su Dong changed the Feng Shui of this yard, Su Ning had been immersed in excitement, worshiping his brother with all his might, but he didn't know that this was far from the end, and Su Dong could actually make the spiritual power even stronger!

  "Remember, this is a secret between us brothers, no one else can know except for you and me." Su Dong said solemnly to Su Ning.

  Traveling through Jianghu, Su Dongtao is well aware of the evil nature of human hearts. To live longer, one must learn to hide, especially this wind and water array that can gather spiritual energy!

  There are countless people in this world who want spiritual power but can't get it. If people knew that Su Dong had such a heaven-defying method, he would definitely be coveted by many.

  Su Dong took the Jade from Shi Zhong and continued to nourish it in his hand with the Dragon Armor Eight Gates technique.

  Although the Jade in the Stone is a natural law enforcement officer, to make it play its strongest role, some preparatory work still needs to be done. In Qimen, this is called preheating.

  Natural artifacts and man-made artifacts are very different, they do not know the user's breath, natural artifacts have the power of nature, Su Dong still needs to let the artifact recognize its master, knowing who is the controller of the formation.

  Su Ning was still regretting not being able to find the man who sold him the jade, but Su Dong comforted him saying: "One must always think on the bright side, we only spent five taels of silver and got six such fine pieces of jade, we've already made a huge profit! One should be content and happy."

  Su Ning stared foolishly at Su Dong and said, "Brother, what you say is very philosophical, but I still won't give up. Since that person said he lives in Wufeng Mountain, I'll go to Wufeng Mountain next time and definitely find him!"

  Su Dong smiled, "Foolish kid, the Five Peaks Mountain is composed of five mountains with heights exceeding 3,000 meters, covering an area of more than a million. Where are you going to find it? As far as I know, within a radius of 200 miles, Hansheng City is the only big city."

  "Even if he lives in Wufeng Mountain, he still needs to come to the city frequently to buy things. Besides, this time he made money by selling agate, and now that he knows the benefits, he will come to Hanshing City again to sell rare stones. We just need to visit Stone Material Street more often, and we'll meet him again."

  Su Ning was taken aback and exclaimed in admiration: "Brother, you're really amazing! You can condense spiritual energy and are so clever! How come I didn't think of that!"

  Su Dong smiled slightly and didn't say anything. In his previous life, he wandered the jianghu without using his brain or resorting to tricks, fearing that if someone sold him out, he wouldn't even know it.

  The jade and stone were extremely spiritual, by nightfall, Su Dong felt that he had already cultivated these six magical instruments to a certain extent, and they could listen to his arrangements. So at midnight, he buried four of the magical instruments in the formation gate.

  Returning to the center of the courtyard, Su Dong looked up at the sky and saw that it was exactly midnight, with a bright moon hanging high, just right for activating the Feng Shui array!

  Snap!

  Suddenly, the first gate of Longjia Ba Men opened!

  Only under the moonlight can it be vaguely seen that Su Dong's right arm seems to be covered with a layer of scales!

  This is the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor! The Qimen people control the formation method, all relying on the power of this dragon scale treasure armor!

  Wait until Su Dong's eight doors are fully open, and he can even obtain a suit of extraordinary dragon scale armor!

  Unfortunately, even the honest old man only opened seven of the Longjia gates, and it was still one level away from fully opening all eight gates. Su Dong had never seen what it would be like when all eight gates of the Longjia were fully open.

  Whoosh!

  Su Dong's palm pressed against the bluestone ground, and the four pieces of jade buried in the array gate emitted a faint glow from under the ground, before immediately returning to silence.

  Formation of Feng Shui Array is complete!

  The spiritual energy was drawn into the jade in the stone, coming endlessly and flowing slowly in the Su family's courtyard, forming a stable energy field.

  Feng Shui Bureau upgraded to Feng Shui Formation, the effect is astonishing!

  Sitting in the courtyard, it's as if one is in a paradise on earth. Whether looking at the curved moon or seeing the sparrows dozing off on the wall, everything feels lovely and warm.

  This is the Qimen Dunjia!

  Not only gathering the spiritual energy of the world, but also making people feel happy and relaxed, from physical to mental, silently changing the person in the formation!

  Living in such a place, it's hard not to feel invigorated and full of energy!

  Su Dong climbed onto the rooftop and looked down with a satisfied smile at his masterpiece.

  By chance, Su Dong saw again the house separated from the Su family by two walls. The place was a more sinister and deadly spot than the original Su family home, where anyone living there would be miserable, with lighter cases suffering from illness and heavier cases resulting in family ruin.

  "Seems like there's something unclean?" Su Dong raised an eyebrow, pondering in his heart.
