New Type of Flesh Crystal
The energy-generating crystal at the center of the silver earring, whose cultivation level was only slightly lower than Xue Jiuyao's, was at the Third Realm of the Profound Realm.
Coincidence? There can't be that many coincidences!
"No wonder Bo Xiwan recruited me into the Caravan."
Bo Xiwan was at the early stage of the Second Realm Profound Realm, while the person who went to recruit him was at the early stage of the First Realm of the Profound Realm.
For Bo Xiwan, using his Coagulated Blood Crystals was barely enough.
Shisui recalled the brief information about Coagulated Blood Crystals. According to the information, the final product of Coagulated Blood Crystals is greatly affected by the materials used.
If the material's cultivation level is higher than the user's, the user cannot fully absorb or control the finished product, which may result in waste or backlash.
At the same time, if the material grade is too low, the effectiveness of crystallization will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, customers who purchase Coagulated Blood Crystals usually specify the quality requirements for the crystallizing material.
Shisui opened his Kakugan, revealing the flow of Psychic Energy within the earring.
He casually peeled off the pale yellow Coagulated Blood Crystal, and the Psychic Energy circuit of the earring slowly stopped operating due to insufficient energy.
Next, Shisui took out a Flesh Crystals brimming with Psychic Energy, but he did not immediately place it in the socket.
He then took out some pure silver powder containing Psychic Energy that he had retrieved from the mine.
Then, he raised his hand to "melt" the Flesh Crystals, mixed the silver powder into the flowing crimson, and then condensed and compressed them.
And so, the new special Flesh Crystals was successfully completed.
"Click!"
A bright red, translucent crystal was perfectly set into the silver earring.
Within that translucent red interior, specks of silver flowed, making the gemstone resemble a pool of shimmering blood.
The Psychic Energy circuit inside the earring fluctuated abnormally for a while, then returned to a stable state after a short time.
Shisui watched this scene with satisfaction. In his Alternate Space, hundreds of Flesh Crystals floated suspended in the air.
These Flesh Crystals, like the ones embedded in the earrings, were refined and compressed from a large number of people at lower cultivation levels.
In other words, the Flesh Crystals are not bound by realm restrictions and can efficiently and directly supply energy to the earrings.
Shisui inserted the single-sided earring, inlaid with a "ruby," into her earlobe, and her Rc Cells immediately surrounded the small earring.
After doing all this, Shisui had Koukaku completely envelop Xue Jiuyao's body, properly storing him in the Alternate Space.
The room was still surrounded by Feather Powder that shimmered with a metallic sheen. Shisui didn't go out again. He flopped onto the bed, and the Kagune instantly swarmed around him.
Numerous Flesh Crystals emerged from the Alternate Space, their Kagune knotting, twisting, and writhing.
The Shengtian Public School he was about to attend was one of the strongholds of the Academic Clique, so he needed to further accelerate his cultivation.
Thinking of the internal library of Shengtian Public School and the "Developer: Xu Xing" label on the Coagulated Blood Crystal equipment, Shisui once again entered the [Metamorphosis] process.
He had no intention of wasting too much time on role-playing.
He has always been a man of quick action and dislikes dragging things out.
On the other side, near the middle section of the central avenue of Moonwhite Shoal, the small building housing the Public Security Management Brigade was unusually noisy at the moment.
Numerous investigators and officers came and went, and the passing wind even made the long-hanging wanted posters sway precariously.
A tall, slender investigator swiftly caught a wanted poster that had been blown away.
The investigator flipped open the wanted poster, intending to check it before putting it back.
The next moment, he was so shocked he almost jumped three feet high.
The photo on the wanted poster was surprisingly a frontal shot, making it impossible to discern the person's true appearance.
The rich, vibrant paints blend together in the painting, creating a distorted and eerie smile, much like a mask.
[Most Wanted: White Owl]
The investigator quickly affixed the wanted poster, then fled as if possessed by some evil spirit.
There were only a handful of posters placed alongside that one, one of which was clearly the most wanted: [Top Wanted Poster: Eight-Tailed Owl].
The investigators' frantic, startled run went unnoticed by anyone else.
The lobby on the first floor of the entire brigade is now as noisy as a market.
After all, certain forces have deliberately maintained the peace and tranquility of this place so as not to affect the mine and crystallization research.
Therefore, the two consecutive serious incidents have put this small town under considerable strain.
The noise spread along the walls, through the cracks in the doors, and down the stairs, only subsiding considerably when it reached the third floor.
The search team leader strode quickly down the third-floor corridor, then pushed open the door of a well-decorated special interrogation room with a clear objective.
At this moment, behind the one-way mirror in the interrogation room sat an investigator asking questions in a soft voice, and Bo Xiwan, the owner of the Wealth-Bringing Caravan.
The search team leader walked straight up and asked, "How is it?"
Someone turned their head and answered softly, "Judging from the situation, he probably wasn't lying. Xue Jiuyao did indeed go to the mine yesterday."
"Furthermore, his retelling of the employee's whistleblowing was logically coherent and didn't seem like something he made up on the spot."
What about your end? Any leads?
The team leader nodded. "Yes, Xue Jiuyao's Psychic Energy fluctuations were found at the dock."
"As for yesterday, Xue Jiuyao did indeed enter the mine; many searchers, including myself, saw him."
"Hmm," the person moved closer and whispered, "Then these two cases should have results soon."
"Phew! The case is finally closing. I don't want to stay up all night again."
The two were separated by a one-way mirror, their eyes filled with longing for the end of the workday.
Inside the one-way glass, Bo Xiwan calmly answered questions, and while sipping his coffee, he poured a cup for the investigator opposite him.
It would be easy to mislead these investigation teams who are better at just getting by and going home.
Just consider it a way to relax.
Bo Xiwan took another sip of his iced coffee.
After all, we still have to deal with the questions from above.
The interrogation continued, and on the Wunu River, many merchant ships that had not set off in advance were intercepted on different sections of the river.
On the Fortune-Bringing Merchant Ship, the Beastfolk were enforcing martial law on a section of the river.
However, just one day later, Chen City also implemented comprehensive control over the nearby river area and closed the Wunu Embankment.
The Human Race also joined in sealing off the Wunu River.
The upstream Qiongfang City was in complete chaos, and as a result, even the repair team that wanted to fix the pass could not get close to it.
Meanwhile, large numbers of refugees fled south along the river.
On a small boat, dozens of Demon Race were crammed together, some sitting and some standing.
The oldest among them is nearly a hundred years old, while the youngest has just been born.
Miao Xingyu nestled in the corner of the boat, his entire body covered by a large, tattered robe.
Only a thin, long, yellow-black striped cat tail occasionally peeked out from under the hem of her clothes.
His small stature made him appear even younger than his already young age.
However, if someone were to get closer and observe him, they would notice that his hands were faintly gleaming with a chilling light.
"The mountain pass is now closed; the only way to get to the Huaihuang Continent is by sea."
He murmured softly, his golden cat-like eyes burning with a complex mix of emotions in the shadows.
There is resentment towards the Demon Race's high-ranking officials, disappointment with Red Crane Orchid, disdain for other races, and uncertainty about one's own future.
The small boat continued its journey, leaving the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range and entering the continuous red maple forest, where it was swallowed up and disappeared by the swaying shadows of the trees.
