"A total of thirteen pieces of earth soul crystals."
"In other words, the last time anyone came to this 'Bingliu Earth Meridian Node' was 4,680 years ago."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but have doubts in his heart when he thought of this.
There must be a huge secret hidden behind these earth vein nodes and earth soul crystals.
How did the little Liu family, which didn't even have a foundation-building monk, know all this and acquire the 'Earth Meridian Spirit Pearl'?
"It's a pity that Yu Wenhua was killed too quickly..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought of this.
This kind of top-secret information is most likely passed down from generation to generation and kept secret. In the entire Yuwen family, Yu Wenhua is probably the only one who knows it.
He didn't expect at the time that the Yuwen family was hiding such a big secret, so he was killed conveniently.
"Forget it, just kill him."
"After thousands of years, they probably only know a few scale claws."
Zhang Yao quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts, stretched out his hand, took a piece of Earth Soul Crystal into his hand, and observed it carefully.
Earth Soul Crystals are all light yellow irregular crystals, about the size of a palm, with uneven surfaces and faint turbid airflow inside.
"Um?"
Zhang Yao's heart moved and he noticed a familiar aura.
"Is this... vitality?"
He was surprised to come to this conclusion.
He has practiced martial arts and immortality for more than two hundred years, and this is the first time he has seen something containing the original energy.
"Containing vitality...means it can be used to extend life."
"This is a good baby!"
"Even if I don't use it, I can exchange it for you when I become stronger in the future."
A trace of joy emerged in Zhang Yao's heart as he carefully sensed the vitality in the Earth Soul Crystal.
"Such abundant vitality can prolong life for hundreds of years... more than three hundred years to be precise!"
Something that can prolong life for more than three hundred years is definitely a real treasure. If it were to be lost, even the ancestors at the level of Jindan and Nascent Soul would have to fight to their death.
Zhang Yao thought of this and suddenly felt that the earth soul crystal in his hand became heavy.
His expression moved slightly, thinking to himself:
"If my prediction is correct, one earth soul crystal should be able to extend your life by exactly 360 years."
"However, most of the high-level elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures used to extend life have their limits and cannot be reused indefinitely. Presumably this earthly soul crystal is no exception..."
"I don't know what the limit of this earth soul crystal is. Can I use several of them? Or can I only use one?"
"But even if you can only use one, its effectiveness is incredible."
"The harvest this time is really amazing!"
Zhang Yao showed a knowing smile, put away all thirteen earth soul crystals, turned around and left the palace.
After a moment, he held the Earth Meridian Spirit Bead and left the Bingliu Earth Meridian Node.
When Zhang Yao came out of the gap in the cliff, he turned around and found that the cliff behind him had turned into a complete cliff again, with no flaws visible.
He stretched out his hand and fumbled around a few times, but it still felt like an ordinary rock.
The earth vein spirit bead in his hand no longer vibrated.
If you want to enter this leyline node again, you have to wait another 360 years.
…………
An hour later.
In the Hidden Mist Island, Zhang Yao played with the Earth Soul Crystal and was silent.
"The way to use this thing is very simple, even a mortal can use it."
"It's just a product of this leyline node. Maybe it has more than just a life-extending effect?"
He was very sensitive to vitality and found that as long as he brought the earth soul crystal with him, the vitality would slowly seep out and integrate into his body.
It is not only effective on immortal cultivators and mortals, but also on some small animals such as cats and dogs, and even flowers, plants and trees. It can be said to be very miraculous.
But for him, it has no effect at the moment.
The vitality in the earth soul crystal tried to penetrate into his body, but his vitality remained in a perfect state at all times, and there was no room for it to penetrate.
"This thing should be composed of two parts."
"The crystal is the outer shell, which is filled with ownerless innate vitality..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
"Since this shell can carry and seal vitality, what will happen if I inject vitality into it?"
He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this operation was really feasible.
Due to the existence of these two major talents, he has strong control over his own vitality and essence. It should be possible to manipulate his own vitality and inject it into the earth soul crystal in reverse.
"Let's give it a try..."
"This earth soul crystal is no small matter. If we can really dig out some secrets through it, it might be a great benefit."
"If this shell collapses, at worst, I will lose one earth soul crystal. Anyway, the vitality will not explode, so I can't afford the loss."
With Zhang Yao thinking like this, he still cautiously activated the thick soil and cloud flag to protect himself.
Immediately afterwards, he broke off a branch, and from a distance of one foot, slowly drew his own energy and injected it into the earth soul crystal.
Wherever the vitality passed, the branches suddenly bloomed with buds, and some even had flower buds, as if it was warm spring.
This is the magic of vitality.
It's just that Zhang Yao's vitality belongs to something with an owner and cannot be transferred to living creatures. The wonderful scene like a dead tree blooming into spring is ultimately just a flash in the pan.
"Huh? There's a show!"
Zhang Yao observed carefully for a moment and suddenly became energetic.
He found that after the vitality entered the inside of the earth soul crystal, the turbid air flow seemed to be stimulated by something and kept stirring.
A dozen breaths later:
"No more!"
Zhang Yao discovered that the Earth Soul Crystal no longer received vitality and seemed to be in a closed state.
He estimated that the vitality he had absorbed was roughly equivalent to about a year's lifespan consumption, and he had already "fed" the Earth Soul Crystal.
"Put it away first and come back to see it tomorrow."
Zhang Yao put away the earth soul crystal and continued to practice meditation and improve his cultivation.
the next day.
Zhang Yao took out the Earth Soul Crystal again and found that after twelve hours, he could continue to transfer vitality to it.
After doing this for more than ten days, he concluded that the shell of the earth soul crystal was extremely strong and could carry a huge amount of vitality, which was far from the upper limit.
At this time, he tried to take out the second Earth Soul Crystal and repeated the operation, but found that he couldn't do it.
The second earth soul crystal obviously has the same material and effect as the first one, but no matter what, it cannot transfer the vitality inward.
This result made Zhang Yao not surprised but happy.
"There are various restrictions on spiritual objects and treasures in the world. The more powerful the effects are, the greater the restrictions."
"Looking at it now, the earth soul crystals that I transferred into Yuan Qi also have this kind of restriction."
What does this mean?
This shows that Zhang Yao is on the right path!
His operation of transferring the vitality in reverse caused some wonderful changes to the earth soul crystal, so that there were certain restrictions on its kind.
"I hope it can give me a surprise..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.
It’s the fourth update, and I feel a little more confident to ask for votes. Dear readers, Qingyun is urgently asking for monthly support.
