Chapter 35: Crystal of Magical Power

  Yue Yu only felt a wave of weakness, and this was another uncle from the clan, named Yue You Shun. He seemed to have a good relationship with his father, but in recent months, this Uncle You Shun had also joined the ranks of those who came to persuade them. Although he came every time, he was completely like a clay Bodhisattva, rarely speaking. Occasionally opening his mouth, it seemed that he was always helping them make excuses. This made Yue Zhang Shi and Yue Yu really unable to understand what this person's true attitude was.

  "Yue Ge, I heard that you left the city a few days ago and went to Hei Yun Shan?" Yue You Shun was riding a second-grade dragon blood horse, with a smile on his face and a gentle look in his eyes. However, the words he spoke made Yue Yu's heart skip a beat at that moment.

  "It's true, I was even scolded by Mother a few days ago for this matter. What's the point of you asking about it, Uncle Shun?"

  Yue Yu shook his head, looking confused. But in that instant, his mood had already calmed down. His uncle asked about this matter, either because he was genuinely concerned or because he had an ulterior motive.

  "So did you see Cheng Shu and the others on that day at Hei Yun Mountain?" Yue You Shun still had a hint of a smile, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry.

  Yue Yuxin thought that it was indeed the case, and Jin Xu might think that this little kid is easy to bully. Or maybe he had a sudden idea, planning to probe his reaction through Yue You Shun's questioning. Whatever the purpose, in short, it's not good intentions.

  However, from these words of Yue You Shun, Yue Yu also obtained a piece of information, that is, until now, the Yue family members have not yet found the exact location where Yue You Cheng and others went missing.

  The corners of her mouth were slightly raised upwards, and then Yue Yu's face was filled with a look of astonishment.

  "Was Uncle Cheng also on Black Cloud Mountain that day?"

  He said this sentence, Yue Yu deliberately said it particularly loudly. However, with his extremely surprised expression, it was also quite fitting. And as expected, not far in front of them, Yue Yunjie and Yue Yunwen both pulled the reins to stop their horses and turned around to look over. Afterwards, Yue Yunjie seemed to realize something, and between his eyes, suddenly became gloomy beyond compare.

  Yue Yu still had a naive and confused expression, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual about the atmosphere. However, in front of him, Yue You Shun's face was now completely pale. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yue Yu glanced at Jin Xu again, only to see that this clan executive also had an iron-green complexion, his head bowed in deep thought, seemingly lost in his own thoughts.

  However, it can be seen that Jin Dazhi is in a bad mood now, and there are even a few worried looks on his face.

  ※※※※

  "Heh heh! Young master, I think you're quite sinister! It seems this is enough for them to suffer—"

  As soon as he walked out of the North City Gate, he came to the back mountain where there were no human footprints. Rong Li couldn't help but let out a string of sinister laughs. While laughing, he also occasionally gave Yue Yu a thumbs up, his expression was extremely lewd.

  Yue Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling extremely displeased with the sinister tone. However, he was in a good mood at the time and didn't bother to argue with this big guy.

  Ran Li had one thing right, that is, Yue You Shun and Jin Xu were indeed a bit disheveled today.

  Yue Youcheng's whereabouts, the clan still has no news to this day. However, Yue Youshun happened to know that he had gone to Heiyun Mountain on the day of his disappearance. With Yue Yunjie's old and cunning city government, if he didn't suspect anything, that would be strange.

  It just so happens that Yue Cheng and Yue Shun, both of whom are under Jin Xu's command, were also present at Hei Yun Mountain that day, along with Yue Yu and Ruan Li. Anyone who thinks about it for a moment will be able to sense the rat in the scheme. As for Jin Da and his cohorts, they'll likely be scratching their heads in worry for a long time to come. Not to mention causing them more trouble, but whether or not they can keep their own positions is also a problem.

  This result, however, was somewhat beyond Yue Yu's expectations. In fact, he had originally just wanted to make Jin Xu suffer a bit, but he hadn't expected the other party to give him such an opportunity.

  Of course, Yue Yu also knew that this matter would at most only give Jin Xu a headache for a while and temporarily shake his foundation. And next time the opponent takes action, the power used will probably be even stronger and more deadly.

  After arriving at the spiritual land, the two of them didn't put this matter in their hearts again and did their own things. It's unknown whether they were affected by the image of Yue Yu's battle a few days ago, but Rong Li, who was originally good at axe techniques with an attitude that could surpass ordinary people, began to crazily pursue strengthening his skills. The simple "Great Fury Demon King Axe" almost became a masterpiece in his hands, but Rong Li still wasn't satisfied and tried to create another variation based on this foundation.

  This situation made Yue Yu laugh inwardly. For someone like Rang Li, he shouldn't be pursuing techniques, but rather focus on how to utilize the legacy of his predecessors to its fullest extent. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as only when Rang Li hits rock bottom will he remember it more deeply and find a suitable path for himself. Therefore, Yue Yu didn't plan on stopping him or offering any help.

  In fact, he is also very busy now. In the past seven days, Yue Yu has made some gains in both 'Wind Speed Technique' and Youli Jingyu.

  The results of the analysis of Feng Yixuan Hu's body were mainly focused on the meridians. Yue Yu first inferred that when this demon beast used 'Dì Fēng Shù', its demonic energy flowed through the meridians in a certain way. Then, from his own body, he found more than a dozen branch meridians and combined them into one with roughly the same route as the demon beast's.

  Then, during the simulation test, when Yue Yu controlled the wind spirit power within the Great Primordial True Energy in his body and ran it along this "path", he was surprised to find that the wind spirit power around him was frantically gathering towards himself. It was almost identical to the scene when Feng Yi Xuan Hu used the "Gust Technique" on that day. The only difference lay in the scale of the spiritual energy gathered. The scale of the wind spirit power around him was far from comparable to the nearly substantialized cyan spiritual energy of Feng Yi Xuan Hu at that time.

  Yue Yu is now confident that in just a few more days, he will be able to recreate the 'Gust Technique' on his human body, even if he doesn't fully grasp the secrets of this divine ability. However, only on the second day, Yue Yu temporarily gave up on this research and shifted all his attention to those demonic crystal formations. Yue Yu vaguely guessed that even if he could thoroughly study the 'Gust Technique', with his current strength, he might not be able to use it. The latter, at least for now, would have a greater impact on enhancing his internal energy cultivation.

  In the Eastern Continent, apart from those divine beasts and spiritual beasts with innate talents, ordinary demonic beasts generally need to reach the second stage before they can possibly produce a demonic crystal. However, after death, their elemental energy and spiritual energy usually dissipate by half, and very few actually condense into crystals. Therefore, basically, the demonic crystals left behind by demonic beasts below the third stage are not particularly valuable. As for those above the third stage, if assisted with suitable medicine and compatible properties, they can help people increase their internal true energy. This type of medicine, primarily made from demonic crystals, is generally called a spiritual pill, with the attribute added before that.

  It must be mentioned that this kind of medicine, which can enhance good things and is scarce in raw materials, should be the most precious one. However, its current value, although better than Peiyuan Pill, is only about twice as expensive as the latter. In Yuejia City, it's considered a common item

  The reason lies in the fact that people, while using them, also discovered their drawbacks. These spiritual pills can indeed greatly enhance one's cultivation, but often after the internal energy is raised by one or two levels, there is no possibility of further progress. As for this bottleneck, even the most talented alchemists over the past few thousand years have found it difficult to make any improvements.

  So typically, those who take them to increase their strength are usually old people whose internal breath training has reached its limit and cannot be further improved. Through this method, they greatly boost their strength in the final stage of life.

  Due to the difficulty of hunting third-level demon beasts, the price of demonic power crystals has remained high, so even the Yue family's pharmacy has given up on including it in their monopoly business scope. The profit is simply too low.
