Beautiful Star Crystal (Third Update!)

"Alright, stop looking. Let's all go our separate ways. Those of you from the Northwest Military Martial Hall who are willing to come with me, leave now."

Li Changying from the Northwest watched Liang Feng's departing figure, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and longing. He wanted to fight this man, but he knew he was no match for him. So he couldn't wait to enter the Star Fruit Tree to find Star Crystal to improve his strength. Sooner or later, he would become such a powerful martial artist.

After Li Changying left, Sui Changlong and others from the Northwest followed closely behind. Of these eighty people, more than ten were from the Northwest Military Martial Hall, meaning that nearly half of them had left.

After the people from the Northwest left, Su Mingyue also got up and left, but she took a different branch.

The main branches here are unimaginably wide, even wider than rivers, and the countless smaller branches around them are also hundreds of meters or more wide. The huge Leaf block out the sky, and the smallest ones are as flat as a building, making it a veritable Treetop Kingdom.

Su Mingyue did not take all the martial artists from the Capital City with her; only four or five female martial artists followed behind her.

Tang Yu saw Su Mingyue leave and seemed to want to follow her, but Su Mingyue didn't invite him, so he felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't until some of the people from the South and Modu had also left that he got up and left alone, heading in the same direction Su Mingyue had gone.

Many of the martial artists from Ice City also went deep into the woods. Lou Qingfeng glanced at Lin Zhen, said nothing, and left alone.

Han Fengju and Wuming traveled together, and Lin Zhen even saw that Ma Mingxing had also entered the Intermediate War General Group and left with the two Modu artists.

Even Lin Zhen's roommate, Sun Tie, the silent Tianfu Martial Artist, Xuan Ze to leave alone in the intermediate group.

In fact, most martial artists act alone. After all, few martial artists are as united and disciplined as the Northwest Military Martial Hall. It would also be difficult to distribute Star Crystal, so it would be more convenient to act alone.

As the number of people dwindled, the martial artists, guided by their instincts, dispersed in all directions, disappearing into the depths of the trees.

In the end, only Zhang Yue remained by Lin Zhen's side. Zhang Yue looked at the sky and said to Lin Zhen, "Idol, it's getting late, where should we go?"

Lin Zhen glanced at him. "Aren't you going to act alone?"

Zhang Yue chuckled, "No, I'll go wherever my idol goes."

Lin Zhen was speechless for a moment, then said, "Don't you have any plans of your own?"

"Of course! If we follow my plan, we'll find a tree pit or something nearby to stay in, not go any deeper, have a barbecue, and drink here. I brought a lot of food."

"Why don't we go deeper into the woods? Why are we having a barbecue and drinking here?" Lin Zhen asked, puzzled.

Zhang Yue said confidently, "Idol, you haven't read the book carefully. Mutated Firefly come out deep in the trees at night. If you run into them, it'll be terrible. You might as well rest here. What do you say?"

Lin Zhen slapped his forehead. "Idiot, Mutated Firefly do appear at night, but aren't you afraid of attracting a swarm of Mutated Mosquito to suck us dry if we light a fire here?"

Zhang Yue was stunned. "What do we do then?"

"What else can we do? Let's go, let's go deeper. We'll have to go in sooner or later. We can't escape it forever. We might as well get used to it sooner rather than later."

Lin Zhen walked ahead, and Zhang Yue followed closely behind. The two of them quickly disappeared among the trees.

Stepping into the canopy area, I realized that it was truly a hidden paradise.

Each branch rises and falls in height, enough not only for people to walk on, but also for cars to drive side by side in the flat sections.

The enormous Leaf are everywhere, like clouds, and walking deep into these trees gives one the illusion of being just an ant.

It wasn't even an ant; it was just a bacterium, a microorganism.

The light inside was dim, and it took the two of them quite a while to gradually adjust to the brightness. Even during the day, it felt like dusk inside, let alone now that it was truly dusk.

The two climbed onto a steep branch, Zhang Yue called out to Lin Zhen, "Idol, look what I found!"

Lin Zhen walked over and saw a huge, withered flower. The petals and leaves had folded up, and the huge flower center no longer had any nectar.

The two jumped onto the Wither petals, and Zhang Yue pointed to the center of the flower and said, "Star Crystal must have grown here, but they've already been picked."

Lin Zhen had never seen anything like this before. After looking at it for a while, he nodded. "According to the description in the Survival Manual, based on the size and shape of this flower, the Star Crystal on it should be a Star Core Stage. It was picked about two weeks ago, so it definitely wasn't done by our group."

Zhang Yue said indignantly, "If it was done by a former Old Trainee, then he must be at least Intermediate War General, or more likely Advanced War General. How effective could Star Core Stage Star Crystal be for him? Why would he bother to remove it? What are we, the Beginner War General, supposed to absorb?"

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, "Star Core Stage Star Crystal are no longer very effective for Advanced War General, but they still have some effect. Little by little, they can still be useful. This person is probably having trouble making it in the High-level Area, so he came to collect these Low-level Star Core. We should be careful when we travel and try not to encounter anyone else."

Zhang Yue nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"It's almost time. It's getting dark, visibility is too low, and the trees are even more dangerous at night. Let's rest here tonight," Lin Zhen said, pointing to the Stamen.

"You're staying here?" Zhang Yue was taken aback.

"That's right, the Stamen have Wither, so no insects like Mutated Bee will come. And with those huge petals as a blanket, let's get a good night's sleep."

"Hehe! Great idea! Let's rest here for the night like Flower Fairy, haha, what a beautiful and touching scene!"

Hearing the term "Flower Fairy," even the worldly-wise Lin Zhen felt a wave of disgust. Looking at Zhang Yue's chubby figure, he couldn't help but think of her as a fly.

The two of them each plucked a huge petal, which covered the blankets and mattresses, and lay down in the middle of the Stamen.

Zhang Yue was excited for a while, but as the night deepened, he gradually fell asleep.

Lin Zhen, however, couldn't sleep. Lying in the Stamen, looking at the blurry tree shadows around him and feeling the extremely strong spiritual Vital Essence of heaven and earth, he simply got up and sat down to meditate and cultivate.

For Mind Power Master, there is no need for much rest time; cultivation is rest. After about two hours, Lin Zhen stopped.

His Mental Power has now reached the Mid-Stage Golden Realm. Originally, the golden aura accounted for about 40%, and the silver aura was less than 60%. This cultivation has increased the golden aura by about 1%.

That is to say, it used to be 42%, now it is 43%.

"Indeed powerful. Cultivating among these trees is twice as effective. Although the first time is the most effective, if I can stay here for a long time, I might be able to advance to the Dark Gold-level of Mind Power Master before becoming War God."

"As for my current level, I am at the peak of the Level Three War General. One more step and I will be able to enter the Level Four War General. However, if I cultivate step by step, it will probably take at least another month. I need to find some Star Crystal to improve as soon as possible."

As Lin Zhen was pondering, he suddenly felt a strong floral fragrance wafting over.

Having already memorized the Survival Manual, Lin Zhen immediately realized that Bloom!

The Star Fruit Tree collects cosmic energy to form flower buds on its flower stems. At this time, there are no Star Crystal Star Crystal; they only appear when the Bloom.

The newly formed Star Crystal are all in the star Star Core Stage Star Core Stage, which lasts for about a month before entering the Meteor Stage.

Three months after the Meteor Stage, there is the Comet Stage, Comet Stage for six months, followed by the Satellite Stage.

The first week of the Satellite Stage begins the Planet Stage, and the third week of the orbital Planet Stage begins the Star Stage.

Star Stage requires ten years to fully mature. If no one harvests it in the tenth year, it will gradually decay and enter the White Dwarf Stage in the eleventh year. Its energy will gradually dissipate, and it will eventually disappear as Supernova. This process only takes half a month.

Although the newly formed Star Core Stage Star Crystal doesn't have much energy, it's still a Star Crystal, and absorbing it will greatly benefit your Dantian Qi. Besides, many martial artists are entering the tree now, and any Star Crystal that is born will be picked. Lin Zhen doesn't want to miss out.

Lin Zhen nudged Zhang Yue: "Zhang Yue, it seems like Star Crystal has appeared."

But Zhang Yue, this fat guy, was snoring loudly. Lin Zhen tried to wake him up several times but couldn't. She figured it was fine, he was just a newly born Star Core Stage Star Crystal, it didn't matter if he wasn't called Zhang Yue.

Lin Zhen lifted the petals off her legs, leaped out of the Stamen's center, and ran down the branch.

In the darkness, visibility in the forest was very low, especially with the huge Leaf blocking the way. Lin Zhen could only follow the direction of the flower fragrance. After walking for about a few hundred meters, Lin Zhen finally found his target after pushing aside a huge Leaf blocking his way.

Thirty meters ahead, a giant flower had just opened, and in the darkness, a dazzling Star Crystal floated above its Stamen.

The Star Crystal was only about the size of an egg, and its shape was rhomboid. It emitted a faint white starlight and floated above the Stamen, looking almost unreal in the night.

"What beautiful Star Crystal!"

Lin Zhen held her breath and slowly walked towards the Star Crystal.

Beside the flower, there is a thin branch extending out. The term "thin" is relative, because even the thinnest branch here is 20 centimeters in diameter, which is considered a large branch to a person.

Lin Zhen jumped onto the branch and came to the top of the petals.

Looking down and observing carefully, Lin Zhen felt the beauty of the Star Crystal even more.

The hexagonal rhombuses shone like Diamond, and the starlight was as soft as real starlight. Moreover, it was a complete crystallization of energy. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Zhen would not have been able to imagine that such a wonderful thing existed in the world.

The newly born Star Core contains five times less energy than a mature one. Although Lin Zhen was reluctant, he couldn't stay here and wait for it to mature, which would take a month. Even if he waited a month, wouldn't he have to wait even longer for it to become Meteor Stage?

Lin Zhen reached out, intending to pluck the Star Crystal from the Star Core Stage.

This thing is suspended above the Stamen, and there is some kind of mysterious connection between it and the Stamen. You can just reach out and take it off.

Just as Lin Zhen reached out her hand, a dark shadow suddenly attacked from above!
