Moonlight Cold Crystal and the Cave Entrance
Outside, Yang Haoyu looked at Yang Tianyou, who stood motionless with his eyes closed, his face filled with deep worry.
She now understood what had happened: possession!
Unexpectedly, this scene, which was only recorded in the scriptures of the Scripture Repository, would one day happen before my eyes.
The target is still the Yang Household's future Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar.
Yang Haoyu dared not think any further. If Yang Tianyou made a mistake, it would be a devastating blow to the Yang Household.
Fifteen minutes passed in anxious waiting.
Finally, Yang Tianyou's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them.
Seeing those familiar and warm eyes, Yang Haoyu felt a great weight lifted from his heart.
However, being cautious, she still asked a few questions that only Yang Tianyou knew the answers to.
The latter was slightly taken aback, then understood, smiled faintly, and answered the questions one by one.
Call--
Seeing Yang Tianyou answer fluently and calmly, Yang Haoyu was completely relieved.
Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly asked, "Where is the Golden Core Cultivator who possessed you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou's expression turned strange. After a moment of silence, he said, "I wiped them out!"
Obliterated?
Yang Haoyu looked slightly taken aback, gave him a deep look, but didn't say anything more.
Yang Tianshi, standing beside him, maintained his unyielding icy expression, seemingly uninterested in anything other than the Dao of Formation Dao.
However, Yang Tianyou knew that it was just that his Tenth Brother was not good at expressing himself.
The instant he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of relief in his Tenth Brother's eyes—it couldn't be fake.
With the matter resolved, neither Yang Haoyu nor Yang Tianshi were talkative people. Following Yang Tianyou's suggestion, they flew upwards and soon arrived at the top of the mountain.
The mountaintop is not large, and is an irregular oval shape, roughly the size of half of Yang Tianyou's yard.
At the very center of the mountaintop, at the head of the Yin Vein, there is a pool of blue-white spiritual water. The dense, cold Spiritual Qi turns into mist and swirls above the pool.
In the pool, the blue-white water rippled, creating a beautiful sight under the soft light.
This spiritual water is called Cold Yin Water, and its grade is Second-Tier Upper-Grade. Each kilogram can sell for a high price of 2,000 Spirit Stones.
And this pool of spiritual water weighs far more than a hundred pounds.
However, compared to the thing at the very center of the pool, this pool of Cold Yin Water was completely overshadowed.
In the center of the pool, a silvery-white crystal the size of a human head was slowly floating.
The crystal seemed so light that even the mist on the water's surface could lift it up.
Strangely, it remained suspended in the center of the pool, completely still, as if drawn by some force.
"This is... Moonlight Cold Crystal!"
Yang Haoyu's eyes widened, and he exchanged a glance with Yang Tianyou, both seeing the intense ecstasy in each other's eyes.
Moonlight Cold Crystal, Fourth-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Material, is produced in the Nine Heavens.
It is formed by the interweaving and condensation of the mist, frost, and Moonlight.
It was only after being continuously tempered by the Nine Heavens Gangwind Layer that it was finally formed, making it a rare treasure.
It can be used for Artifact Refining and setting up formations, or for comprehending the Spirit Mark when cultivating ice and yin attribute Divine Ability, or for directly refining to increase the power of Divine Ability powers.
On the market, a fist-sized piece of Moonlight Cold Crystal can fetch a high price of about 10,000 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
Note that this is 10,000 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones; converted to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, it would probably cost over a million.
Right now, the Moonlight Cold Crystal placed in front of Yang Tianyou and his two companions is the size of a human head. How many Spirit Stones could it be worth?
"This matter is classified as top secret and must not be disclosed to anyone other than the three of us."
After the initial shock, Yang Haoyu quickly recovered and immediately warned the two in a stern tone.
"Yes!" Yang Tianyou and Yang Tianshi hurriedly replied.
Seeing this, Yang Haoyu nodded in satisfaction.
Then, she flipped her hand and took out a long ribbon.
With a gentle roll, the Moonlight Cold Crystals were collected.
Only then, sensing the treasures within his Storage Ring, did Yang Haoyu feel at ease.
Then, as if remembering something, she asked with some confusion, "Isn't Moonlight Cold Crystal produced in the heavens? How could it appear in the Fierce Ghost Cave?"
Yang Tianyou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then speculated, "Could it be that the Cold Tide brought it here? After all, the Moonlight Cold Crystal is as light as a feather and can be easily swept away by Storm."
At this moment, Yang Tianshi suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the two, "I think the Moonlight Cold Crystal was attracted here by the Yin Vein."
"They are all Yin-attribute Spirit Items, and the Soul-Gathering Land itself has a certain suction force. The combination of the two... I speculate that the Moonlight Cold Crystal was first pulled down from the heavens by the Cold Tide, and then dragged into the Fierce Ghost Cave by the special feng shui of the Soul-Gathering Land and the same-origin attraction of the Yin Veins."
This hypothesis was quickly accepted by Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou.
However, their expressions immediately changed.
The same question came to mind almost simultaneously!
The Moonlight Cold Crystal cannot burrow underground, so how could it have been dragged hundreds of feet deep into the ground?
Thinking of this, the two men raised their heads with grim expressions, their eyes darting around, searching for something.
Half an hour later, Yang Tianyou's Great White Gold Eyes proved to be more reliable, and soon discovered a small to medium-sized dark hole on the faintly visible stone wall above.
"This cave entrance should lead to the outside, what should we do?"
"Let's go up to the cave entrance first and see if there's any danger. If not, we'll use Formation to seal off the outer entrance. The Fierce Ghost Cave is about to evolve into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm; we absolutely cannot give up this treasure."
"It's a pity this cave is affected by the Spatial Power evolved from the Secret Realm; otherwise, we could have simply sealed it off with Earth Attribute Law Technique."
"For now, we can only try to cover it up. However, since this cave entrance has existed for so long without being discovered, it must be quite well hidden, so there's no need to worry too much."
"That makes sense. Let's go up and check it out first, get a clear picture of the situation, and then discuss the next steps."
After reaching an agreement, Yang Tianyou affixed two Concealment Talisman to his body and flew into the sky.
Soon, his figure disappeared into the cave entrance.
After entering the cave, Yang Tianyou soon discovered that the passage was not straight up and down, but rather sloping.
He frowned, then continued flying diagonally upwards along the cave passage.
The passage was very long, and it was unclear where it led.
The Ice Crystal Pool is ruled by the Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan.
Similar to the Yin Vein of the Fierce Ghost Cave, there is a Third-Tier Upper-Grade Ice Vein below the Ice Crystal Pool.
This Ice Vein was originally just an ordinary Spirit Vein, but after the Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan occupied this place, they spent hundreds of years using their Innate Divine Abilities to continuously modify the surrounding environment.
By taking advantage of the Cold Tide that occurs every sixty years, and absorbing a large amount of mysterious ice energy, it was finally transformed into an Ice Vein.
The so-called Ice Veins, along with Fire Veins, Wood Veins, and Yin Veins, are all special Spirit Veins.
If a normal Spirit Vein contains Five Elements and operates in a balanced manner...
This kind of Spirit Vein with only one characteristic is a serious case of "uneven development".
One type of Spiritual Qi holds absolute dominance and can transform other Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into that single type of Spiritual Qi through the transformation function of Spirit Veins.
This type of Spirit Vein is also known as a "special Spirit Vein".
Special Spirit Veins often produce a large amount of special resources, which is what makes them superior to ordinary Spirit Veins.
For example, the Ice Vein in the Ice Crystal Pool can produce Third Tier ice-attribute Spirit Items called [Thousand-Year Black Jade], which is a specialty of the Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan.
