Astrology Card Creator: Start with Pleiades

Chapter 377 The mystery caused by the star stone

"It's interesting." Jiang Zhao sighed.

Just such a simple operation can greatly simplify the tedious training of the star soul stuck behind five stars.

He could feel that it would be very easy for the Star Soul to absorb the power from the Star Stone.

how to say?

Star stone is like finely processing wheat into white steamed buns.

And the previous cultivation method of their group of lower realm star soul masters was like eating raw wheat, not even a little bit worse.

Of course, star stone refining seems simple, but to actually refine it, it is not that simple.

Just blending all kinds of star power energy together is not something ordinary people can do.

Moreover, this is the simplest and lowest-grade star stone. For higher-level star stones, the internal star power structure will only be more complicated.

There was just one thing that Jiang Zhao couldn't understand.

The world of Star Soul has been developing for so many years, and the production of various universal cards has been passed down from the upper realm. Why has the method of refining star stones not been passed down to the lower realm?

Not to mention card makers at the level of teacher Ao Xian and grandpa.

Any card maker from the association will be able to refine star stones with a little exploration and practice.

In his opinion, even if the technology from the upper world is not passed down, the Star Soul World should be able to develop on its own.

But now, not only has it not developed, but it is still at its most primitive stage.

With this doubt in mind, Jiang Zhao directly started trying to refine it.

Relying on the power of Emperor Ziwei, Jiang Zhao could easily extract and separate the star power substances from various card-making materials.

Then, spiritual materials with the same attributes and similar properties are aggregated into a group of star energy materials.

The whole process was easy and free of any difficulties.

Unfortunately, something went wrong the moment it finally condensed into a crystal.

boom!
The star energy material in front of him collapsed like a card-making failure.

"Well, it seems that this thing is still a bit technical."

Jiang Zhao smiled awkwardly and continued to try.

Unfortunately, it still ended in failure.

A series of failures followed.

At first, Jiang Zhao thought it was something he had not done well, and kept summarizing the reasons from his failures.

But no matter how he adjusts, he will eventually fall to the point where it condenses into crystals.

This greatly aroused Jiang Zhao's competitive spirit.

So I started trying various materials and different ratios and attempts, but unfortunately they still ended in failure.

Before I knew it, most of the day had passed.

A series of failures made Jiang Zhao's mentality explode, and he even began to doubt himself.

What makes him even more incomprehensible is that even if he follows the formula of Meng Yunfei's undead star stones and makes a 100% replica, he still cannot succeed.

"Shouldn't it be?"

Jiang Zhao was puzzled and scratched his head.

After struggling for a long time, he let Qiangzi travel through space and came to teacher Ao Xian's room.

After learning about Jiang Zhao's confusion, Ao Xian couldn't help but laugh: "I asked you why you look so sad. Is it because of this?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhao was confused, "Do you know the reason? No, you have also come into contact with star stones?"

"Of course," Ao Xian said without hesitation: "This is the core resource of the major holy palaces to attract talents from the lower world. My teacher, like you, tried to refine this thing when I was young. Not only my teacher, Mr. Jiang and the others should also have tried."

Jiang Zhao was stunned: "Does it mean that even you and grandpa can't refine it?"

"Let me tell you this, it's not that we in the lower realm don't have this ability, it's that we in the lower realm simply can't build this thing."

Jiang Zhao was confused: "Why?"

"Because this thing can only be made with materials produced in the upper realm of the gods, and the materials produced in our lower realm cannot be condensed into crystals anyway." Ao Xian explained with a sigh: "Card makers of all generations have always I'm researching the reasons, but I still can't find the reason. The only thing that can be determined is that the materials produced by the upper realm are of higher quality, and the star power is stronger than that of the lower realm.

But even if we use the best quality materials from our lower realm, on the contrary, as long as the materials produced by the upper realm are of poor quality, they can be condensed into star stones. "

Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"I would like to understand it as a teacher, but unfortunately I don't have the ability." Ao Xian laughed at himself.

It is easy to see from his self-deprecating expression that he must have put in a lot of effort into this, but finally gave up.

"It means that there is some unknown difference between the materials from the upper realm and our materials from the lower realm?" Jiang Zhao asked with a frown.

"Yes." Ao Xian nodded helplessly, "But to this day, no one can find out the specific difference. Not only us in the lower realm, but also the card makers in the upper realm have not figured out the reason yet. "

The more Jiang Zhao listened, the more mysterious it became, and he was somewhat distrustful of evil.

Immediately, he took out the upper realm materials obtained by Meng Yunfei and others on the spot and started trying again.

A moment later, looking at the star stone that had successfully condensed in his hand, he was slapped in the face.

The star stone in my hand is a bit rough, but it is indeed a star stone.

Facts have proved that there is no problem with his ability and technology, it is simply a matter of materials.

But he really couldn't feel the essential difference between the materials in the upper realm and the materials in the lower realm. "It shouldn't be? How could this happen?"

Jiang Zhao, who did not believe in evil, tried again with materials from the lower realm.

One failure, two failures, three failures...

After several consecutive failures, I tried using upper-bound materials instead. Although it also failed, there was indeed a problem at the last moment of the condensation molding. It was completely different from the situation where lower-bound materials collapsed immediately.

At first, Jiang Zhao thought it was a matter of probability, but after several attempts, he had no choice but to accept the reality.

Ao Xian saw everything in his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Thinking back to those days, he, like Jiang Zhao, did not believe in this evil, but it was of no use.

"If you are interested, you can continue to delve deeper. Maybe you can crack the mystery." Ao Xian said with emotion: "I have completely given up on being a teacher anyway."

Now, he just wants to study the astrology of his Dragon Clan God Realm in peace.

As for this unsolved mystery, let it be left to young people to explore.

Jiang Zhao scratched his head in disbelief, and then found his grandfather and cheap uncles, asking them to use various black technology instruments to analyze the difference between the materials of the upper world and the materials of the lower world.

Knowing Jiang Zhao's purpose, Jiang Lingtong and Zhang Daniu looked at each other and laughed dumbly.

In their words, they have been studying this matter for many years and have found nothing.

Seeing that Jiang Zhao did not believe in evil, several people demonstrated it to him on the spot using various instruments. The test results showed no special difference except for differences in quality and star power.

Facing the results on the instrument screen, Jiang Zhao couldn't help but doubt his life.

"By the way, Grandpa, have you ever tried to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to make star stones?" Jiang Zhao asked abruptly.

"Of course I have tried it. Same thing. Unless it is combined with materials produced in the upper world, it cannot be made at all." Jiang Lingtong shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "However, if it is combined with the star stone made from heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the quality and effect will be much better. "

"Huh?" Jiang Zhao's eyes brightened slightly, and he instantly caught Hua Dian, "Does this mean that the treasures of heaven and earth will not affect the final result, but will actually make the refining result better?"

"That's what happened."

Jiang Lingtong nodded slightly, not sure what Jiang Zhao was excited about.

But Jiang Zhao looked excited and said, "What if we completely abandon the materials from the upper realm and completely use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine star stones?"

You know, heavenly materials and earthly treasures are all made of materials from the lower realm.

If this idea is feasible, can it circumvent the limitations of upper bound materials?

Jiang Lingtong, Zhang Daniu and others were silent for a moment, then took a breath of air and their expressions gradually became excited.

Afterwards, a group of people quietly obtained various natural materials and treasures and began to try them.

Unfortunately, the final result left them smiling and helpless.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures + upper realm materials can indeed make star stones, but simply using heavenly materials and earthly treasures cannot condense them into star stones.

Although the result was disappointing to everyone, it was not completely without gain.

As long as a small amount of upper realm materials are added to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, star stones can be successfully condensed. However, as the proportion of upper realm materials decreases, the success rate of star stone condensation will become lower and lower.

"Tsk, tsk, young people's brains are so useful~!" Zhang Daniu and others sighed with emotion: "If this is the case, we can try to produce some star stones."

"Indeed," Jiang Lingtong's eyes moved slightly, "Let's go back and talk to Senior Wang Teng to see if we can exchange a batch of upper realm materials."

Although materials from the upper realm are very scarce in the lower realm, they can continue to produce heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

In other words, with the right mix, they can already try to produce star stones.

But in terms of cost, it is definitely much higher than the star stones produced in the upper world.

After all, the cost of heavenly materials and earthly treasures is not low. Each heavenly material and earthly treasure is synthesized from many lower realm materials, and soul power is required to condense the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Although Jiang Zhao was a little disappointed, he could understand everyone's happiness.

"Instead of doing this, it is better to purchase materials directly from the upper world."

In his opinion, the cost of doing so was too high.

But I saw my grandfather and cheap uncles shaking their heads and smiling bitterly: "If it were that simple, star stones would have been popular in our lower world."

"What do you mean? Is it difficult to trade between the upper and lower realms?" Jiang Zhao was puzzled: "Anyone who comes down can have a bunch of them in his storage card, so it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"As you said, it is not difficult to deliver materials from the upper realm. The key is that the amount of goods that can be delivered each time is limited." Jiang Lingtong explained.

"Why is this?" Jiang Zhao was puzzled.

Zhang Daniu and others explained helplessly: "The star stone is the core resource for the forces of the upper realm to control the lower realm, so the upper realm has clear review and regulations in this regard.

Just like the upper realm materials you have in your hand, it's okay for senior Wang Teng and his gang to bring them down by the way, but if you want to bring them down in large quantities, you have to go through layers of approval.

So even if we reach a cooperation with senior Wang Teng, the amount they can send each time is limited. "

Jiang Zhao frowned, "If we really want to reach a cooperation, it's not up to them to give more or less?"

"No, no, no, you have to know that the Star Soul World is not just one of the forces of Beiye Kingdom. If it is noticed by other forces in the divine domain, Senior Wang Teng will have to bear a lot of responsibility and pressure."

"What if we trade star stones directly?" Jiang Zhao asked with a frown.

"Same," Jiang Ling said: "Even from their own subordinate Holy Palace, there is a quota for the star stones sent out every time. Especially for high-quality star stones, you must apply in advance."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao understood completely.

In the final analysis, it is actually the forces in the upper realm that monopolize and control resources to control the lower realm.

And what they said before about talking to senior Wang Teng was just to do business with Wang Teng personally. Beiye Kingdom would most likely disdain to trade with them.
