The little beast slapped Zhu Jiuyin away. Regardless of the reason, the fact that Zhu Jiuyin did not resist meant that it had given up on this place, and the Thousand Mile Spirit Crystal Mine would have benefited Ning Xiaoxi.
When her feet touched the spirit crystal, the dense spiritual energy almost made Ning Xiaoxi lose her footing.
First, select red, yellow, blue, green, and purple crystals of various colors from the crystal cluster. They are all fist-sized and top-quality crystals. Place them next to the small nest in the cave as decoration.
The black bead turned away, looking down on her.
The little beast rolled over, its cloak completely covering the black bead, and continued to sleep.
"Hahahaha!" Ning Xiaoxi laughed silently, and then began to collect spirit crystals.
Those spirit crystals, each bearing its own runes, were formed by absorbing the aura of Zhu Jiuyin, creating a unique landscape in themselves. They were placed in the empty space behind the main hall. As soon as they were placed there, projections of the sun, moon, and stars were reflected into the sky above the cave, gradually forming illusory images of the sun and moon, and then a sky full of stars.
The grove of trees in front of the main hall stretched out in the wind, its trunks thickening, its branches becoming lush, and its leaves rustling vigorously. The various plants in the two fields behind the main hall, though not yet grown large, stretched out their branches and leaves, their already lush green leaves becoming large and glossy, as if they had eaten and drunk their fill.
The mulberry tree branches swayed, but nothing changed.
After clearing away the area in front of her, she was greeted by a forest of spirit crystal trees. This forest was much larger than the one she had cultivated in her cave. That one could only be considered a small grove, while this one was a complete forest, covering an area of a hundred miles.
Towering trees rose from the ground, their trunks formed from pure brown spirit crystals, radiating a soft and enchanting glow. These glows intertwined, creating a dreamlike web of light and shadow that enveloped the entire forest.
The branches extending from the trunk of the Spirit Crystal Tree shimmered with a crystalline luster, and the leaves resembled exquisite green crystal flakes, swaying gently in the breeze and emitting a crisp, melodious sound, like celestial music. On each leaf, the veins displayed extraordinary patterns, shimmering with various colors of light, reflecting off the halo of light in the air, seemingly recording the ancient history of this forest.
The forest floor was covered with a thick layer of spirit crystal fragments, like twinkling stars, each step sending up tiny sparks of light. Amidst the green spirit crystal grass, spirit crystal flowers of various colors bloomed freely, their petals translucent, their interiors flowing with dazzling spiritual energy like a flowing galaxy, and even emitting a captivating fragrance.
The little mermaid excitedly began to glow again, its entire body radiating light like a small sun, and started to traverse the forest.
When sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves of the spirit crystal tree, it forms golden beams of light. Within these beams, countless tiny spirit crystal particles dance and intertwine with the spiritual energy of the forest, creating suspended energy vortexes that appear like a dream.
Breathing in the dense, almost condensed spiritual energy in the air, Ning Xiaoxi felt as if her whole body was immersed in a pool of spiritual energy. Every cell was breathing freely. The condensed spiritual veins began to soften and pulsate. Finally, it was as if another meridian had formed in her body. The figure of the meridian slowly appeared and then slowly overlapped and merged with her.
Ning Xiaoxi stood quietly at the edge of the Spirit Crystal Forest. The instant her meridians and form completely overlapped with her original body, the light of the entire Spirit Crystal Forest seemed to be drawn to her, casting a brilliant light and shadow on her body. The spiritual energy in the veins of each leaf flowed along the strange patterns, gathering into drops of spiritual liquid, which then converged with the light onto Ning Xiaoxi's body.
Another meridian appeared, automatically merging into Ning Xiaoxi's meridian as the raindrops entered her body, merging with her once more. The spiritual meridians within her body were no longer visible; she was the spiritual meridian, and the spiritual meridian was her.
Ning Xiaoxi opened her eyes and saw a head of fiery red short hair and a pair of crimson eyes. She reached out and hugged the little light bulb, and it seemed... She looked down and was a little puzzled. Had it grown taller? She put the little mermaid on the ground and gestured to it. It had indeed grown. It was no longer 1.3 meters tall, but at least 1.35 meters.
His eyes gleamed as he gazed at the Spirit Crystal Forest ahead, then he picked up the little mermaid again and waved to receive her.
As they entered the Spirit Crystal Forest, the illusory images of the sun and moon within the cave rose higher and higher. The stars began to twinkle, and the forest automatically expanded into the void, surrounding the main hall and connecting with the dragon mine, completely enclosing the main hall.
After harvesting the last spirit crystal tree, Ning Xiaoxi was blinded by the golden light before her. After adjusting for a while, she squinted and looked ahead at the golden desert.
Ning Xiaoxi squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand. Well, that wasn't sand, it was spirit crystal sand.
Squinting at the boundless sea of sand, I thought, "This is worth more than gold!"
This golden, shimmering sea of sand, just used as a cushion by that giant serpent? So many spirit crystals just given away like that? Wasn't it said that its spiritual source was damaged and its spiritual power depleted? Without the support of spirit crystal veins, how will it maintain its strength?
[Tuanzi, what do you think happened? Zhu Jiuyin just gave up this mine like that?]
[With its suppression, this place can only be a pure spirit crystal mine; once it's used up, it's useless. It only looks like a lot to you; if it were to actually cultivate, this place would be completely desolate in the blink of an eye.]
That's amazing!
[Information I just looked up.]
Uh, you have a database now?
Tuanzi, wearing frameless glasses over her small eyes, stood in front of Ning Xiaoxi. [The pressure is a bit much; if I don't study, I'll fall behind. I was thinking too simply before. When I saw Black Dragon and Frost Soul, I knew I was far behind. When I saw Chaos, I realized I was just a frog in a well. Now, I feel like I'm not even as good as a toad.]
Ning Xiaoxi wanted to laugh but held it in. [Then you should study hard!]
[Hmph, it's all because that guy Tianji told me I'm the most powerful, that I'm his guiding light, that's why I never thought about leveling up or learning.]
Ning Xiaoxi stopped laughing. [Did Heaven tell you that?]
[I had just awakened and was on a mission when I brought him to this world and gave him his awakened abilities. He idolized me ever since! He praised me in all sorts of ways every day. In that life, we didn't encounter any powerful demons, so dealing with them wasn't difficult for him. Later, he met the Celestial Fox and took it as his demon pet. I was even happy for him, that he'd gained a powerful henchman. By the time I discovered his collusion with the Celestial Fox, it was too late.]
Ning Xiaoxi was a little dumbfounded. [Tuanzi, why are you suddenly so open? You never used to be able to say this!]
Because I upgraded.
