Chapter 121: Space Treasure Hunt (1)_1
Situ Xin looked up, carefully observing the surroundings of the cave. She saw about a dozen luminous pearls embedded in the rock walls, each the size of half a basketball, but the dazzling light that she had seen earlier was not emitted by these pearls. Instead, it came from the variously colored, crystal-like bodies stacked around, which resembled small hills. At first glance, Situ Xin thought they were crystals or diamonds, but upon closer inspection, they were evidently not. Although they looked similar, these crystal stones were far more brilliant than diamonds or crystals. Moreover, they emitted a sparkling light even without any illumination.
Situ Xin walked over and crouched down to pick up a red crystal stone. The moment she picked it up, she felt an intense spiritual energy within it—richer even than the spiritual energy outside, and surprisingly, it gave her a warm sensation. "Fire Spirit Stone?" Situ Xin thought to herself as she felt the red crystal, and information about it automatically came to mind. The Fire Spirit Stone, as the name suggests, contained spiritual energy of the fire element. It was the dream of cultivators who absorbed the fire element in the Cultivation World. Moreover, the Fire Spirit Stones in this cave were of the finest quality. Absorbing just one or two pieces of these stones could significantly enhance one’s own strength.
The information popping into Situ Xin’s mind confused her. What were fire elements? She had been cultivating for quite some time and had never seen any mention of fire elements in the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles" which only spoke of spiritual energy. From the excitement in her mind, she could guess that fire elements must also be considered spiritual energy.
As Situ Xin fiddled with the Fire Spirit Stone, the so-called fire elements within it escaped out, like joyful red sparks converging around her, eagerly burrowing into Situ Xin’s body. "What is this?" Situ Xin was so astonished that she was at a loss for words as she felt the red sparks entering her body, bringing a warm and comfortable sensation that made her involuntarily close her eyes in pleasure.
When she opened her eyes again, the Fire Spirit Stone in her hand, which had glowed red, had now lost its luminance, looking like the red crystals or garnet diamonds sold outside.
At this point, Situ Xin was no longer calm. She hastily centered herself and then checked the Jade Token in her mind for knowledge about the Cultivation World, and any information on fire elements and Fire Spirit Stones.
In a short while, Situ Xin found the information in the Jade Token. The knowledge on cultivation was conspicuously placed, and since she had been practicing the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles" that intrinsically belonged to her space, she had not checked the cultivation content in the Jade Token earlier, except for sections on Alchemy, Talisman Making, and Qi Cultivation. She had not looked over the basic knowledge that a typical cultivator should know.
