Chapter 441
The items that were delivered were very heavy, and Yang Tian had to open the door to collect them personally.
This was a stone tablet that was about five meters long, two meters wide, and one foot thick. The stone tablet was green in color, and its material was fine and dense. With the dragon pattern as the base, it was filled with tens of thousands of tiny runes.
Yang Tian only took a glance at it before storing it into his storage bracelet. Then, he kept the other rune books that he had exchanged for, some material fragments that had runes engraved on them, and beast cores.
“Zhi Zhi Zhi...”as soon as the door closed, the little azure dragon cried out.
This fellow was also very interested in this stone tablet because there were dragon patterns on it.
On the first floor, Yang Tian released the stone tablet and let it lie flat on the ground.
Previously, he had only taken a cursory glance at it. Yang Tian had yet to discover anything special about the stone tablet. Now that he took a closer look, he felt extremely surprised.
This was because the lines that formed dragon patterns among thousands of runes were actually the lines that connected and transmitted energy between the runes.
Yang Tian realized that the rune cultivator who designed this tablet must be a talisman master!
However, it was a pity that this monument was incomplete. On the edge of the monument, there were obvious traces of grinding. Some of the runes had been worn away by half.
It was truly a waste of heavenly objects!
Yang Tian looked at the incomplete runes and sighed in his heart. He shook his head.
Although Yang Tian did not have enough understanding of runes and relied on the strange procedures, after experiencing so many things, he also attached great importance to runes and loved them.
The Little Azure Dragon also didn’t know about runes. After Yang Tian released this tablet, it jumped onto the tablet and looked at these runes curiously.
To see the dragon patterns, it needed to be some distance away from the tablet. After the little azure dragon lay on the tablet and looked at it, it flew into the air and lowered its head to look at it.
“What are these runes?”Yang Tian asked the strange program in his mind.
The strange program didn’t answer Yang Tian immediately. Instead, it calculated for a moment before saying to Yang Tian, “This is a kind of shape-imitating rune.”
“Shape-imitating rune?”
“Yes, it is the ability to make the bottom lines appear under the stimulation of energy. “This kind of rune is like... a slide. It can project images of people, Exotic Beasts, and so on, forming a scene that conveys the message the designer wants to convey.”
The strange program was described in a language that Yang Tian could easily understand.
Although the explanation of the strange program was extremely simple, Yang Tian also understood that the shape-mimicry might not be purely visual. It might even contain offensive or defensive energy, or even energy that could affect the human spirit.
If it was just a shape-mimicry rune, it probably wouldn’t be worth this price, right?
Yang Tian felt that he had used two million credits to exchange for this tablet. It was a bit of a loss.
There were only runes on one side of this tablet, but there were no runes on the other side.
After flipping through it, Yang Tian put down the tablet and asked the strange program, “Can you restore this tablet?”
Yang Tian’s meaning was to restore the function of this tablet and let it project a shape-mimicry.
The strange program calculated for a while, then it said to Yang Tian, “Yes, the picture on it is preserved completely. As long as you add some missing runes, it will be able to appear. However, you need some time to calculate. At the same time, you also need to prepare a material of the same material.”
“The same material, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find. Can’t you shrink it a little? We can carve on the back of it!”Yang Tian said.
However, the strange program replied, “The arrangement of the runes on the monument has gone through precise calculations. If the size of the monument is changed, the runes will need to be rewritten. If these runes are complete, it can be done.”
“Alright! Let’s see if we can buy such a stone material.”Yang Tian said somewhat helplessly.
The design of runes was an extremely complicated process. There were many factors to consider, especially the material used to carve the monument and the surrounding environment. All of these factors had to be considered. If there were big changes, the runes would need to be changed.
“Ding Dang.”Yang Tian called out.
Xiu ~
The auxiliary tool Ding Dang immediately flew over.
“Master, what instructions do you have?”Ding Dang asked.
Yang Tian looked at the stone tablet in front of him and said, “Analyze its material and find out where it came from. If you can find it and buy it, order one. The money will be deducted from my account.”
“Yes, Master.”
Ding Dang answered. A red light beam shot out from it and scanned the stone tablet.
The material data of this stone tablet was quickly calculated by Ding Dang. She began to search online.
A moment later, ding dang answered, “Master, I have found out. The source of this stone came from the Nine Barbarians Star Field.”
“Nine barbarians star field...”Yang Tian muttered and asked, “Can I order this stone?”
Ding Dang said, “A hundred years ago, it might have been possible. The stone produced by the Nine Barbarians Star Field was widely used by rune cultivators. But now, the nine barbarians star field has cut off contact with the outside world and can not be ordered.”
Cut off contact with the outside world, which meant that the entire star field had cut off the connection with the universe network.
At the same time, it also meant that the superstar shrine had lost control.
Yang Tian would not give up any information related to the little azure dragon. He said to ding dang, “Look up information about the nine barbarians star area.”
Ding Dang replied and immediately began to look up information for Yang Tian.
A few minutes later, the information about the nine barbarians star area was found out by Ding Dang.
Ding Dang controlled the window to close the curtains. The light in the room dimmed, and she opened the projection for Yang Tian.
The projection displayed information about the nine barbarian star area.
First, it displayed the star map of the nine barbarian star area.
The nine barbarian star area had more than a hundred stars, more than twenty habitable stars, and countless other planets with rich resources.
This could be considered a relatively large star area.
...
In a universe with such advanced communications, no news could be hidden. The information about the nine barbarian star field explained that the nine barbarian star field had been ruled by the superstar shrine for thousands of years.
In order to obtain the resources of the nine barbarian star field, during these thousands of years, the divine general guarding the superstar shrine had reduced the local population of the entire star field by at least one-third.
Wherever there was oppression, there was resistance! This sentence was also applicable to the entire universe. During these thousands of years, the Super Star Godly General had sent more than a hundred godly generals to the nine barbarians star field, and more than a hundred of them had died.
As for the dozens of godly generals of the Super Star Godly general who had served in the nine barbarians star field and eventually retired, they were all extremely rich. Two of them had even successfully advanced to the Great Star Lord Realm and became the sacrifices of the super star godly general.
Yang Tian was curious about what resources the nine barbarians star field produced.
The conflicts between the various countries and forces in the universe were mostly caused by resources. Outsiders wanted to plunder, while the local forces wanted to protect, and there was also a competition between several forces.
After a final check, it turned out to be something called a ‘refined fruit’.
Yang Tian was also curious about this ‘fruit refinement’. He asked Ding Dang to check the information regarding the fruit refinement. To his surprise, he discovered that this fruit was similar to a beast core. It was an item that could provide a large amount of energy to cultivators, its function was similar to a beast core.
The difference was that the fruit refinement did not contain as much energy as a beast core. However, it could be easily absorbed by the cells of cultivators.
After taking this refined fruit for a long time, the cultivator’s cells could expand their energy capacity. It was worth mentioning that the transparent shell outside the beast core was made of a kind of colloid substance in the skin of the refined fruit.
Yang Tian thought that he was already very rich and had a lot of knowledge, but he had never heard of the refined fruit.
...
After spending so much time with solly, he had never heard Solly mention it.
After reading the information about the refined fruit, Yang Tian finally understood the reason.
It turned out that the production of this thing in the entire nine barbarians star field was very small. If one were to use the time on the Ketra Star to calculate, the annual production would be about several hundred thousand kilograms.
The universe was very big. There were countless experts and many people who used money. Once these things came out, the people who obtained them were all the top experts and people with wealth and power in the universe.
In other words, this kind of refined fruit wasn’t a common consumer product, but a top-grade luxury product. Plus, the superstar shrine deliberately controlled it, so it didn’t catch on.
Yang Tian hadn’t left Earth for long, so he didn’t come into contact with many things, so he naturally didn’t know about refined fruits.
Other than refined fruits... Yang Tian believed that as his range of activities grew larger and larger, the number of cultivators he came into contact with increased, and many novel things would appear in front of his eyes.
Other than refining fruits, the nine barbarians star area also produced stone materials for carving runes.
Just like the stone tablet that Yang Tian exchanged two million credits for, its material was fine and dense, and it could withstand the impact of runes, corrosion resistance, and other characteristics. Many people even used it to build beautiful palaces.
Other than refining fruits and stone materials, the nine barbarians star area also produced many precious items.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that the local cultivators of the nine berserkers star area had an irreconcilable conflict with the Superstar Shrine.
“If I have time, I can go there...”Yang Tian thought after he finished reading the information about the nine berserkers star area and asked Ding Dang to close it.
It was too boring to just cultivate and raise one’s realm to survive in this vast and boundless world. He should go to some mysterious places.
After keeping the stone tablet, Yang Tian returned to the living room on the second floor. He took out the other twelve books that recorded runes and some material fragments and began to flip through them.
Yang Tian couldn’t understand the runes on them, but the strange program required it. When Yang Tian flipped through them, the strange program memorized all the runes through Yang Tian’s vision.
“Master, Professor Shen Wu is outside the door.”Yang Tian was flipping through a rune book out of boredom when Ding Dang suddenly reminded Yang Tian.
Yang Tian somewhat guessed the reason for professor Shen Wu’s visit. It was probably because he had finished drinking!
At the same time, it could also be related to the assessment. The last time Yang Tian advanced, it was professor Shen Wu who assessed him.
Yang Tian immediately went downstairs and opened the door.
Professor Shen Wu was dressed in a red robe. When the door opened and saw Yang Tian, a bright smile appeared on his face.
