Chapter 274 The Secret of the Crystal Core

They sat in a dim, deep vein, surrounded by scattered fragments of crystal beasts, flickering with a faint fluorescent light. In Arya's hand, she tightly grasped the crystal core, which was as clear as a star. It emitted a soft and pure light, as if it contained endless secrets.

"This crystal core is truly extraordinary," Arya whispered, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and exploration. She gently spun the core in her hand, watching the spiritual energy flowing within it like a trickle, pure and powerful.

Yun Yi moved closer, his gaze drawn to the crystal core as well. "Arya, can you sense the spiritual energy fluctuations within this crystal core? It seems to have a completely different aura from the spiritual crystals we've encountered before."

Arya nodded, her brow furrowed slightly, as if trying to perceive something. "Indeed. The spiritual energy within this crystal core is not only incredibly pure, but also seems to possess a unique charm that makes one want to explore deeper."

Kevin couldn't help but interject, "So what's so special about it? Is it just that the spiritual power is purer?"

Arya shook her head, her eyes growing deeper. "No, I sense something more than that. This crystal core seems fundamentally different from the spirit crystals we've known before. It...it seems to be a living being, possessing its own consciousness and power."

"A living being?" Feng Wuhen heard this with an expression of disbelief on his face. He looked at Arya, then at the crystal core in her hand, trying to find any sign of life in it.

Arya didn't answer directly. Instead, she closed her eyes again and began to use her magic to connect with the crystal core. She took a deep breath and slowly poured her magic power into the crystal core. As the magic power flowed in, the crystal core began to emit a brighter light, as if it had been activated.

"What's going on, Arya?" Feng Wuhen asked with concern. There was a hint of worry in his tone, fearing that Arya might encounter some danger during her exploration.

Arya slowly opened her eyes, a glint of surprise and shock in them. "This is...this is amazing! Not only does this crystal core contain pure spiritual energy, but this energy can actually resonate with us, being absorbed directly by us and used to improve our cultivation!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the expedition team members revealed expressions of mixed shock and joy. They knew that if they could directly absorb the spiritual power from this crystal core, their cultivation would be unprecedentedly improved.

"Not only that," Arya continued, her voice trembling slightly, "I've also discovered that the spiritual energy within this crystal core can even repair equipment. If our equipment is damaged in battle, we can simply inject the spiritual energy from the crystal core into it, and it will be restored to its original state, or even more resilient."

"This... this is simply unbelievable!" Yun Yi exclaimed. He looked at the crystal core in Arya's hand, his eyes flashing with a fiery light. He knew that such a discovery would undoubtedly be a huge blessing for the expedition team.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's give it a try!" Kevin couldn't wait any longer. He stood up, holding the sword tightly in his hand, as if ready to face new challenges at any time.

Arya smiled faintly and began to instruct the team on how to properly absorb the spiritual power within the crystal core. She spoke softly, explaining each step clearly and concisely. The expedition members closed their eyes and, following Arya's instructions, infused their magic power into the crystal core.

As spiritual energy poured in, they felt as if their bodies were enveloped by a warm and powerful force. Their cultivation levels rose unnoticed, as if an invisible force were propelling them forward. Their faces revealed expressions of ecstasy and joy, as if they were in a beautiful dream.

"Wow! This feels amazing!" one team member couldn't help but exclaim. He opened his eyes and looked at the world around him. It seemed as if everything had changed. The other team members also opened their eyes, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.

Feng Wuhen looked at the longsword in his hand. The cracks on the blade had disappeared under the nourishment of spiritual energy, and it became brand new, even sharper than before. "It seems that this crystal core is really our lucky star!" He said with a smile, his tone full of emotion and relief.

Yun Yi also smiled. He patted Arya on the shoulder and said, "Arya, this time it's all thanks to you. Without you, we probably wouldn't have discovered the secret of this crystal core."

Arya shook her head modestly. "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Besides, I only did what I was supposed to do."

"However," Yun Yi changed the subject, "Everyone should also remember that although the spiritual power in the crystal core is tempting, we cannot absorb it blindly. Too much will lead to poor digestion, and knowing when to stop is the most important thing."

The expedition members nodded in agreement, knowing full well that Yun Yi was right. While the spiritual energy within the crystal core could bring immense benefits, excessive absorption could also be taxing on the body. They had to proceed with caution to advance further.

"Alright," Yun Yi stood up and waved his hand, signaling the team members to prepare to set off. "We still have a long way to go and can't stay here for too long. Everyone, pack up and let's continue to go deeper into the mine."
