What surprised Qu Wuming was that there was a hexagonal prism-shaped black crystal lying quietly in the storage that was more than one foot long and four feet square!
No breath escapes from the black crystal, just like an ordinary black crystal. However, the inside of the crystal is extremely pure, so clean that there is no impurity at all. Although it is completely black, it can still pass through the thick crystal. The crystal sees light coming from the opposite side.
In the center of the crystal, there was a black mass about the size of a washbasin.
The mass was dark in color and completely immersed in some almost transparent liquid. As Qu Wuming moved the crystal with the power of his spiritual consciousness, the mass began to sway back and forth in the liquid, like a Like a very elastic black dough.
Perhaps Qu Wuming's movement disturbed the dough. A stream of ink-like liquid suddenly spurted out from the black dough, instantly dyeing all the surrounding transparent liquids black. Then, Qu Wuming could clearly see There seemed to be a loud crashing sound in the liquid. It seemed that something hard, like a small ball, was rolling back and forth and hitting the mass of liquid in the middle of the crystal. sound.
Qu Wuming couldn't help but froze when he heard the sound. A look of joy soon appeared on his face. After thinking for a moment, he sent the storage ring containing the black crystal directly into his Zi Mansion space and placed it properly for preservation. stand up.
Qu Wuming didn't expect that Mu Yanqing, who had just mentioned it occasionally in casual chats before, actually put the black crystal in the storage ring and threw it to him before parting, without leaving anything behind for him. What a chance to shirk rejection, my feelings towards this family of saber-toothed electric beasts couldn't help but improve a lot.
The black crystal, called "Nether Crystal", seems to have no energy fluctuations, but it is actually a special crystal of extremely high grade and extremely powerful energy - the Nether Crystal has great influence on the cultivators of the ten directions. For daily practice, it seems to be of no use, because the energy contained in it is not something that cultivators in the ten directions have the ability to directly absorb and utilize.
However, if this kind of underworld crystal is activated with a special formation, it can stimulate huge energy, whether it is used to provide driving energy for some puppets, mechanisms, or large formations, or it can be released all at once to produce extremely powerful energy. The effect of the explosion far exceeds that of high-level spiritual stones and some ordinary energy crystals! It can be called a priceless rare treasure in the world of ten directions!
You know, just a piece of Nether Crystal the size of your thumb can maintain the normal operation of a sect's sect-protecting formation for more than a hundred years! The dark crystal in Qu Wuming's hand is over a foot long, and the thickest part is over four feet!
And this priceless piece of underworld crystal is far inferior to the black "dough"-like thing in the transparent liquid in the middle.
The thing that looks soft and bouncy and seems to be squirming in the liquid is called "Black Tai Sui". It is a strange creature unique to the underworld.
It is said that it is a living thing, but that is not entirely true. It is said that more than 10,000 years ago, someone got a piece of "Black Tai Sui" the size of a fist. After cutting it open, they found that there were no facial features, organs, or blood vessels or tendons inside. From the perspective of the ten directions world, there was no trace of it at all. It bears no resemblance to any ordinary creature.
However, Black Tai Sui can move on its own in the liquid in which it lives, expanding and contracting as if it is alive, as if breathing, which is enough to prove that it should be something alive, but it is beyond the realm of ten directions to practice Taoism. It’s just their understanding.
And when later, the piece of "Black Tai Sui" was studied carefully, and finally they chose to refine and devour it, the first person who took the risk to take it actually gained more than a hundred years of life for nothing - —The sparse white hair on his head turned black and thick overnight, and his wrinkled face became smooth and moist as if he had rejuvenated his youth. Only then did the ascetics in the Shifang Realm realize that this "Black Tai Sui" actually had The magical effect of prolonging life and rejuvenating youth!
In the following thousands of years, "Black Tai Sui" became the first thing people wanted to look for in the underworld - extending their lifespan. That was the dream of many ascetics who were approaching the end of their lifespan!
However, underworld crystals are difficult to find, and the "Black Tai Sui" that specifically grows in underworld crystals and seems to feed on underworld crystals is even rarer. For thousands of years, countless ascetics in the Void Refining Period have ventured to the underworld to look for it, but in the end found nothing. There are only two people who are lucky enough to find "Black Tai Sui" in thousands of years.
However, what one of them got was not just an ordinary piece of Black Tai Sui - but a piece of Black Tai Sui that could transform into a black crystal!
Subsequent research proved that the black Tai Sui that turned into crystals did not have the miraculous effect of prolonging life and rejuvenating people.
But its effect seems to be far more heaven-defying than ordinary Black Tai Sui.
Because it can actually make the dead body come back to life.
You only need a piece the size of your fingertip, grind it into powder, and use magic power to penetrate it into the body. Even if it is a thousand-year-old mummy, as long as the body is intact and has not been damaged, the body will recover after absorbing enough water and spiritual energy. Like a living person.
Except for one thing - that is the soul.
Only after the recently deceased person is resurrected by this crystal stone can he live a normal life as before and have a lifespan of no less than a hundred years. Once the forty-nine days have passed, the resurrected person will only have the physical body alive, but he can only lie there like a living dead, without any awareness or reaction to anything in the outside world.
Since those experiments, the name "Taisui Crystal Core" has completely resounded throughout the ten directions.
This is simply a divine thing that steals heaven and life!
Which ascetic in the ten directions wouldn't want to own such a "Tai Sui crystal core"? After his death, he was resurrected and his life was extended for another hundred years. Perhaps with the extra hundred years, he could further improve his cultivation and live a long life. In the future, he would be able to become a true immortal and live as long as heaven and earth?
Or you have to have a dream, otherwise what's the difference with salted fish?
Even if the hope is slim, there is always a dream. What if it really comes true?
But this time, among the rewards announced by the Alchemist Sect, there was an item - a piece of Tai Sui Crystal Core.
Originally, Qu Wuming initially planned to use the Wutu Orb to sneak into the ground and try his luck by looking for a needle in a haystack. He might be able to search for some underground places where underworld crystals are prone to occur. If he is lucky, he can find a patch of black crystals growing there. Tai Sui's Ming Jing's trip was well worth it. Unexpectedly, before he even bothered to look for it, Mu Yanqing gave him such a great gift.
If this piece of black Tai Sui the size of a washbasin can be separated into a small part and continue to be cultivated in the underworld crystal, wouldn't there be endless Black Tai Sui to use in the future? I just don’t know if the method of artificial cultivation is suitable for this kind of divine creature that dominates the world...
Qu Wuming once again used the "Falling Star" orb and moved forward quickly underground. He was thinking a little excitedly in his mind, and then gradually left the dense forest area and continued to move towards the direction of Guimingyuan.
The next target is the soul nourishing crystal!
If he collects another soul-nurturing crystal that is at least the size of a fist, then among all the items offered as a reward by the Alchemist Sect, there will be only three items left that Qu Wuming has not collected. As for the Tai Sui Crystal Core and Ghost Servant Holy Blood that had been collected, Qu Wuming felt that the quantity and quality of what he had in his hands were enough to surpass many people.

After a few hours, Qu Wuming had become accustomed to sneaking underground and no longer wanted to go above ground.
Although the underground sneaking speed is slower, it is quiet, safe and direct. Unless you have to escape for a while when you encounter the underground water system or the earth and fire veins, fleeing underground can avoid conflicts with more than 90% of the creatures in the underworld. It is really a must-have method for traveling and focusing on your journey.
You must know that above the ground, there are all kinds of strange creatures in the underworld. Who knows if they are flying and suddenly rush out and want to fight with you.
Two hours ago, Qu Wuming "saw" with his own eyes through the "Falling Star" orb a human race cultivator in the Void Refining Stage who he seemed to have seen somewhere. He was chased by a large group of bloodthirsty magic bats and fled in a hurry. In the end, he was drowned in the cave. Among a group of bloodthirsty magic bats.
You must know that among the bloodthirsty magic bats, the most powerful individual is only comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. However, such a group of strange creatures with low cultivation levels are immune to many magical attacks. Even the magic weapons sacrificed by the monks in the Void Refining Stage will be filled with cracks in a short period of time under some special sonic attack released by their group!
The ants kill the elephant, is this the case, right?
At that time, Qu Wuming was lurking underground, chasing the group of bloodthirsty magic bats and the human Void Refining Stage monk for a while, and soon saw dozens of bloodthirsty magic bats huddled in the air. White bones whose flesh had been eaten away kept falling down, and there seemed to be two storage rings and some bloody rags mixed in among them.
After a moment, the group of bloodthirsty magic bats suddenly dispersed and turned into a dark cloud, flying towards the cave at the foot of a certain mountain peak in the distance. The place where the human race cultivator in the Void Refining Stage was originally located was already empty. Nothing.
When the surroundings were already quiet, an earthy yellow light suddenly flashed on the ground, and the two storage rings that had fallen into the grass disappeared.
However, the valuables of cultivators in the Void Refining Stage are generally stored in the Zifu space. Among the bones that fell at that time, the monk's skull was not found. It must have been taken away or devoured by the group of bloodthirsty magic bats. As for the Zifu space inside the skull, perhaps we can only wait for it to collapse on its own. It will be revealed then.
Qu Wuming still doesn't have the courage to follow the group of bloodthirsty magic bats and sneak into the cave to wait for the skull to collapse and explode. Maybe a lot of good things will be revealed, but he still has to fight for it with the bloodthirsty magic bats... …
In the underworld, there are not a few strange creatures like bloodthirsty magic bats that can crush the quality of cultivation with their quantity. It’s not like there are no people living underground...
