"Senior Xuanyuan, did those four pieces of Spirit Crystal Marrow shatter because the formation exhausted their spiritual energy?" Huang Xiao asked.
If that was the case, he had little reason to feel heartache. They could be said to have died of old age.
"It had something to do with it, but that wasn't the main reason," Xuan Yuanjun replied. "Dismantling these things always entails losses. Those four were essentially lost in the process."
"In other words, if those four were still within the formation, they would still be intact?" Huang Xiao asked, his eyes widening.
"Not entirely intact. They had been used, after all, but there would have been no problem continuing to use them. All these pieces of Spirit Crystal Marrow are much the same, really. It was just that those four couldn't be preserved." Xuan Yuanjun pointed at the five pieces of Spirit Crystal Marrow in his hand.
"What a terrible waste," Huang Xiao murmured.
"There will be losses when Xuan Yuanxiang dismantles the formation over there, too. Let's hope not too much Spirit Crystal Marrow gets damaged. Otherwise, finding marrow like this will be far too difficult. The other losses won't be hard to make up for," Xuan Yuanjun sighed.
"Be content with what you have," Ji Xuanying said. "Before this, you were hoping Huo Lian's help would reduce the losses somewhat, but the Spirit Crystal Marrow was always your concern. Now you've obtained five pieces here, and you're still not satisfied?"
"Hahaha!" Xuan Yuanjun could not help laughing aloud. "I'm being precious about it."
"Senior Xuanyuan, how many of these spirit crystals can be preserved when Xuan Yuanxiang dismantles the formation over there? After all, you won't be doing it yourself. If too many are damaged, finding suitable Spirit Crystal Marrow in a short time won't
