Liu Xiyue's Secret

"Really?! Yay!!!" Lu Miaomiao ran over and jumped onto Lu Qing'an's shoulders.

"Hehe! Daddy! Let's go!"

Lu Qing'an smiled, then turned to Xue Tianfei: "Together?"

Xue Tianfei had already walked over to Lu Qing'an and decisively took Lu Qing'an hand.

"Of course we'll go together!"

"Wait! Me too!!" Xiao Qingyi, having learned his lesson, quickly followed.

Wang Duanshan and He Hong will probably go to forge weapons again later, and then he will be the only lonely old man here again.

Wang Duanshan and He Hong watched the group walk towards the teleportation array, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads with a smile.

They continued flying towards the weapon-refining room, deciding not to join the fun.

The two continued their research on weapon crafting.

After arriving at the academy via teleportation, Lu Qing'an and the others went about their own business.

The children went to school, while Lu Qing'an and his two companions headed to the dean's residence.

When they arrived at Liu Xiyue's residence, Liu Xiyue was already waiting for them outside the door.

"What happened to this old man? How come his aura is so strong?!" As soon as Xiao Qingyi saw Liu Xiyue, he narrowed his eyes and sent a telepathic message to Lu Qing'an.

Xue Tianfei's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything and her behavior remained perfectly normal.

She knew that things were different in the Demon Domain now than before. It seemed that if they wanted to remain at the top of the Demon Domain, they would need to cultivate even harder!

Lu Qing'an merely glanced at Liu Xiyue and didn't pay him much attention, noting that he was only about the same strength as Dao of Alchemy Master.

That means he has the same strength as before.

There must really be Divine Crystal inside that iron ball.

Not long after the Divine Crystal was activated at the Heavenfall Demon Cavern, it was able to rapidly improve Liu Xiyue, demonstrating just how extraordinary this Divine Crystal was.

If possible, he would also get some for Xue Tianfei and Xiao Qingyi later, so that they could also improve their skills.

Therefore, he came here this time to find out exactly where Liu Xiyue obtained the Divine Crystal.

"Please have a seat, all three of you."

Liu Xiyue smiled at Lu Qing'an and the other two, offering them a warm welcome.

Lu Qing'an and the other two nodded and sat down, like visiting guests.

"Old Liu, this aura you exude is not simple." Xiao Qingyi spoke first, a half-smile on his face, as he probed.

"It's alright, I've only gotten a little stronger," Liu Xiyue said with a smile.

As he said this, he glanced at Lu Qing'an, now fully aware that he was still no match for Lu Qing'an.

They might be able to reach the same level of strength as Lu Qing'an back then, but judging from the strength of that special energy body last time, and Lu Qing'an's ability to refine the Demon God Mother Tree, there is still a gap between them!

"I won't beat around the bush, I just want to talk to you about one thing: bring me that iron ball from last time so I can take a look," Lu Qing'an said directly.

Liu Xiyue shook his head. "The iron ball is still there, but I've absorbed everything inside."

He took out the iron ball from last time and handed it to Lu Qing'an.

At this moment, the iron ball no longer emitted golden light.

"It seems you know very well what's hidden inside the iron ball? Then tell me in detail."

Lu Qing'an casually tossed the iron ball, now devoid of the Divine Crystal, aside.

Xiao Qingyi then controlled the iron ball to fly in front of him, picked it up, and began to examine it carefully.

Is it really this thing that made Liu Xiyue so powerful?!

"I suppose you already know something. Actually, there's nothing I can't say. It's a special kind of crystal that has existed in the Demon Domain for many years. I only learned of its existence ten thousand years ago..."

Liu Xiyue recounted in detail how he became acquainted with this crystal.

He began studying the crystal after discovering the bean-sized green crystal within the Time-Reversing Demon Willow.

One day, he noticed a sudden change in the Time-Reversing Demon Willow. After a careful examination, he discovered that a small crystal, about the size of a mung bean, had been embedded in the main branch of the Time-Reversing Demon Willow. The crystal emitted a faint green light and had already established a special connection with the Time-Reversing Demon Willow.

As time passed, the Time-Reversing Demon Willow underwent some changes, and its ability to distort time became stronger.

This is why the time-traveling artifact placed on it has a time flow rate of 1 to 300!

"I began a thorough investigation into these crystals, searching through ancient texts and using various channels and methods to find the treasure that had been crafted into a metal sphere by someone else. It cost me a considerable sum to acquire it. Later, I discovered through other channels that approaching the Heavenfall Demon Cavern had a chance to alter these crystals. The larger the crystal and the deeper it was located within the Heavenfall Demon Cavern, the more likely it was to undergo a change... In any case, it took me a long time to truly understand the function of these crystals and achieve an upgrade!"

After listening, Lu Qing'an nodded.

This perfectly matches what the soul described.

There are three ways to activate Divine Crystal. One is that the Divine Crystal will activate itself over time, but this depends on the size of the Divine Crystal.

Secondly, it is activated using special Secret Method.

Third, get close to the regulator, that is, the energy entity.

"What I'm more curious about is, where did you get that iron ball from?"

He had already used his Devil Cultivation Method to examine Liu Xiyue's soul condition.

He was not possessed.

At most, it means that Liu Xiyue has colluded with that mysterious organization.

However, based on an analysis of what Liu Xiyue said, it still holds up to scrutiny.

It is highly likely that Liu Xiyue himself found the method of using the Divine Crystal through various means.

After all, this thing has indeed existed in the Demon Domain for some time.

Furthermore, many Divine Crystal have reached the point where they can be activated.

Unless the crystal is relatively large, it will take some time for it to activate on its own.

Liu Xiyue said, "I used the academy's resources and made inquiries from various sources before I finally found it through a powerful organization."

"Which faction?" Lu Qing'an pressed.

Liu Xiyue said, "Blood Phoenix Sect."

"Oh? They don't know the purpose of this crystal?"

"Of course they don't know. Not many people in the entire Demon Domain know about it. I was one of the first to try it. And now I'm still trying to find it using my own resources, but unfortunately, it's too difficult to obtain."

Liu Xiyue shook his head and sighed.

If he had more of these things, he could become even stronger!

Through Lu Qing'an's visit, he had become certain that Lu Qing'an must have used this treasure to become so powerful!

Lu Qing'an said, "You're not lying to me?"

"I know how strong you are, so I wouldn't dare lie to you," Liu Xiyue said earnestly.

Lu Qing'an stared at Liu Xiyue the whole time, but did not see any subtle changes in Liu Xiyue's facial expression.

"Okay, if you find anything like this next time, let me know immediately. I can share it with you once I get it," Lu Qing'an said.

He wants to get a piece and study it carefully.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiyue pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I actually already know the whereabouts of the next piece. I can't get it, but you might be able to."

"Oh? Tell me more about it." Lu Qing'an raised an eyebrow slightly.
