Benefits Keep Coming! Yun Yun's Lost Item?

"Crystal marrow?"

Gu Han lifted his foot and found that he had stepped on a purple crystal. Some kind of energy emanated from it, accelerating the rotation of his Qi Vortex and causing the Dou Qi in his body to go out of control.

However, once he circulated the Mysterious Ice Force, the Dou Qi returned completely under his control, and the purple crystal could no longer affect him.

This showed that the purple crystal was some precious Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure, though its grade had not surpassed a certain level.

"Collect!"

Gu Han placed his hand on the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree and stored it in the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Then he picked up a shovel and began digging around the purple crystal.

Before long, the purple crystal's full appearance was revealed.

It was an oval purple crystal roughly half a zhang in diameter.

"I remember the Record of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures mentioning that Primal Spirit Fruit Trees gather Heaven and Earth Energy, and their roots have a certain chance of producing Primal Crystal Marrow, a Fifth-Tier Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure."

"Primal Crystal Marrow can be used to set up arrays and Barriers. When naturally placed, it absorbs Heaven and Earth Energy and can provide a certain boost to the cultivation of Dou Wang and even Dou Emperor experts."

"It can also be used in artifact forging, puppet refinement, cultivating certain secret arts, and refining some special Sixth-Grade Pills."

Gu Han felt that the Mo Family might be bringing him good fortune.

Since recovering his memories from his previous life, he had gained far too many good things from the Mo Family in less than a month.

The Primal Spirit Fruit, Jade Spirit Fruit Tree, nearly a hundred thousand Gold Coins, Xuan Grade martial arts and secret techniques, even the Flying Fighting Skill—all of them were related to the Mo Family. And now, he had obtained a piece of Primal Crystal Marrow.

"I'll let you die quickly when the time comes."

Gu Han raised his hand and placed it on the Primal Crystal Marrow, storing it in the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

He had originally intended to bring in some soil to plant the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree, but with the Primal Crystal Marrow, there was no longer any need.

Placing the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree's roots atop the Primal Crystal Marrow would provide more than enough Heaven and Earth Energy for its growth.

After taking everything away, Gu Han calculated the time and circulated the Mysterious Ice Force as he used the Six Wild Geese Flight Skill.

Cyan-Blue Wings formed behind his back. With a thought, he flapped them and soared into the sky, controlling them as easily as his own limbs.

Several dozen breaths later, he reached the location indicated by the Opportunity and began cultivating the Purple Qi Heavy Pupils while facing east.

Not long after he left, a figure appeared outside the Spirit Gathering Land, yawning.

"Hmm?"

The moment this person returned to his hiding place, he noticed that the boulder blocking the path had been moved aside.

"The thief has come!"

He instantly snapped awake, all sleepiness gone. He mobilized his Dou Qi into a gauzy garment that covered his body, then swiftly darted down the path.

At the same time, he took out a Signal Firework from his Storage Ring and held it in his hand, ready to use it at any time.

He was thrilled, feeling that he would finally render a great service to the family.

But after passing through the path and arriving at the Spirit Gathering Land, his pupils abruptly shrank, and the blood throughout his body seemed to freeze.

"Something, something terrible happened!"

The Mo Family Dou Master swayed and nearly dropped to his knees. Once he recovered his senses, he immediately turned around.

Half an hour later, Mo Yu arrived with a Nine-star Dou Grandmaster from the Mo Family, his expression extremely grim.

He had devised this plan to wait for the rabbit by the tree stump, yet instead of catching anything, they had suffered a double loss.

"Elder Xuantong, what did you find?"

After the old man finished investigating the scene, Mo Yu could not help asking, hope in his voice.

"There are no footprints and no lingering aura. The Jade Spirit Fruit Tree seemed to have vanished into thin air." Mo Xuantong gently shook his head, indicating that he had found nothing.

"Vanished into thin air!?"

Mo Yu's gaze sharpened as he suddenly thought of his younger brother, Mo Qing, who had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

According to the information Mo Feng's men had uncovered, Mo Qing had vanished into thin air.

Could the two incidents be connected somehow?

"The Jade Spirit Fruit Tree was not stolen earlier or later—it was stolen after Mo Qing disappeared." Mo Yu became certain of his guess.

The theft of the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree was likely related to the Golden Goose Sect, but they did not dare report it to the sect.

Perhaps after Kalon took Mo Qing away, he had hidden here and pulled off a deception right under their noses.

"Damn it!" Killing intent overflowed from Mo Yu's eyes. "Kalon, the Mo Family will not rest until one of us is dead!"

For the next stretch of time, Gu Han resumed his exceptionally disciplined and fixed cultivation routine.

Starting at Mao Hour and ending at Chen Hour, he cultivated the Purple Qi Heavy Pupils for two hours and gained entry into the Ancient Qi Gazing Technique.

After that, he carried out regular seated meditation. Following lunch, he went to the mountain path on Fifth Peak to cultivate the Nine Snake Steps and master the movement-type Dou Technique.

After dinner, he meditated to restore his Dou Qi. Once more than half of Midnight Hour had passed, he checked the Opportunities, then visualized the Black Tortoise Shell to strengthen his soul power.

Day One

[Primal Crystal Marrow can be refined with any Heavenly Flames into Primal Essence Spirit Liquid. Consuming it can raise one's Soul Realm.]

Gu Han: When the time is right, I should use it. Things that improve soul power were precious even in ancient times.

[After Zhang Chuchen consumed the Clear Bright Pill, he successfully lifted his Bloodline seal. His accumulated foundation erupted, allowing him to break through to the peak of One Star Dou Ling. He now firmly believed everything you said and told Punishment Elder Yun Shang this good news, causing Yun Shang to develop a highly favorable impression of you. She decided to reward you with a Mystic Low-Grade Ice Attribute Dou Technique, Snowy Sword Shadow.]

Gu Han: Punishment Elder is generous. Senior Brother Zhang Chuchen is generous too.

Day Two

[On the mountainside of Fourth Peak, a Second-Order Snake-shaped Grass will mature at Chou Hour. Half a quarter-hour later, it will be consumed by a First Order Late Stage Magical Beast, the Purple Void Snake. If you obtain and consume it, it will improve your cultivation of the Nine Snake Steps.]

Gu Han: Thanks for nature's gift.

[The Outer Disciple Competition will be held in three months. Information on the current top ten Outer Disciples: First place, Yun Lange (22 years old, Eight-Star Late Stage Dou Practitioner, Mystic Intermediate Wind Attribute Sword Art at major mastery, biological son of Second Elder Yun Sheng); second place, Han Qing'er (19 years old, Eight-Star Early Stage Dou Practitioner)...]

Gu Han: So it wants me to take first place among the outer disciples.

Day Three

[The pet Magical Beast, Earth Nether Golden Rat, raised by Inner Sect Disciple Wu Zihan, Kongfu Barbie, sneaked into the back mountain to eat fruit and was captured and devoured by a First Order Late Stage Magical Beast, the Azure Cloud Sparrow.]

[Inner Sect Disciple Qian Hao secretly loves Wu Zihan. He possesses a bottle of Cold Spring Spirit Water (a Third-Order Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure; those with Yin Attribute or Ice Attribute can consume it to increase their cultivation and strengthen the cold power of their attribute).]

Gu Han: Looks like I can play matchmaker for once.

Day Four

[After four days of investigation yielded no results, the Mo Family issued a public reward. Anyone who can provide information on Mo Qing will receive a Silver Token from the Alchemist Guild (which can request a Fourth-Grade Alchemist's services once).]

Gu Han: Looks like I need to find an opportunity to make use of Kalon and Mo Qing's corpses.

[At Stall No. 77 in the East Street Market of Yunlan Town, an elderly man in black robes and a hood is selling First-Order and Second-Order Moonlight Grass. Mixed among them is a Moonlight Spirit Grass.]

[Moonlight Spirit Grass: A Moonlight Grass that has advanced to Third-Order can independently store Heaven and Earth Energy. Every morning, it forms into dew. One drop is comparable in effect to a Second-Grade Low-Level Qi Replenishing Pill. It looks no different from Second-Order Moonlight Grass, but under a full moon, it emits Moonlight Radiance.]

Day Five

[Mo Yu reported the matter of the Spirit Gathering Land to the Great Elder and earned the opportunity to ask the guest Elder Gu He to refine a Fifth-Grade Pill.]

[At Hai Hour today, Yun Yun will go to the Cliff Hot Spring of Third Peak for a two-quarter-hour bath. Because she left in a hurry after receiving an Elder's Message Transmission, she will lose her Personal Hairpin there.]
