Ji Hao was the fastest one, even faster than Feng Xing. He grabbed that piece of crystal in his hand before Feng Xing could do anything else.
The palm-sized, milky white crystal was only half an inch thick and had an irregular shape, like a broken leaf. However, it was incredibly heavy. Such a small piece of crystal weighed five-thousand stones. An ordinary first-level Novice Magus could only hold two pieces of crystal like this at the same time, even with all of his or her strength.
Once Ji Hao's hand touched the crystal, a dense stream of natural power flowed into his body through his palm. The natural power was rich and mellow, just like a hundred-year-old wine. After this stream of natural power flowed into his body, Ji Hao even felt a sense of pleasure.
"Top-grade magic crystal!" Ji Hao coughed embarrassedly.
In the Southern Wasteland Cold Stream Valley, Ji Hao had seen top-grade fire essence crystals, which were actually just a small category of pure fire magic crystals.
However, among all magic crystals, the most precious, rarest, and most useful ones were the ones that didn't have any special properties, but could be absorbed by any kind of magic, no matter what kind of magic one was practicing, no matter what kind of magic one was cultivating.
The so-called 'Chaos' magic crystal had no property, and could be absorbed by anyone, could be used by all kinds of magic formations, could be used by all kinds of magic puppets, all kinds of magic tools and magic treasures, and could be used freely in any place that needed magic crystals.
At the same level, a piece of 'Chaos' magic crystal was as valuable as ten pieces of other kinds of magic crystals. Usually, these kinds of 'Chaos' magic crystals couldn't be found in the market at all. All kinds of forces were trying their best to hoard 'Chaos' magic crystals, and no one would easily let this kind of precious magic crystal slip away from their hands.
"Silver tungsten, it seems that magic crystals can be produced along with silver tungsten." Yu Mu was quite knowledgeable about the miscellaneous knowledge of the Magi Palace. He murmured to himself, "But top-grade Chaos magic crystals, clicking his tongue, aren't they only found in the other few top-grade, rare mineral lodes?"
Ji Hao shook his head, weighed this piece of magic crystal in his hand, then gave a low shout to the bug, which had already been controlled by Ji Hao.
The bug, which was holding this piece of magic crystal in its mouth, screamed out, shook its body and quickly darted back into the path it had come from.
Ji Hao said to Iron Yan and tens of clansmen of the Rong Mountain Clan, all of them hurriedly rushed into the path, following behind the bug.
After running for more than three hundred miles, the tunnel in front of them gradually became shorter and narrower. Obviously, this was a new mine tunnel that had just been dug by the insects. After walking along the narrow tunnel for five to six thousand feet, an underground cave with a radius of several thousand feet appeared in front of him. The cave was filled with extremely rich natural energy, and a milky white mist gathered in the cave like milk, slowly swirling around.
A magical white light illuminated the entire cave. The white light came from human-head-sized white magic crystals, which were hung on the rock wall. These magic crystals had different colors, and obviously, they were of different quality. On the rock wall closest to the entrance of the cave, a piece of magic crystal was missing. Judging by the shape of the missing piece, it was exactly the same as the one in Ji Hao's hand.
Obviously, this crystal was bitten into pieces by the leading bug. Then, this bug heard the call of its queen and hurriedly rushed out with this crystal.
"A top-grade, chaos-attributed magic crystal mine!" Ji Hao gasped in shock, turned around, looked at Iron Yan seriously and said, "Elder, we have to discuss this carefully. This mine might bring a disaster to your Rong Mountain Clan, do you believe me? "
Elder Iron Yan's wrinkled face twitched intensely. Carrying the small hammer in his hand, he staggered into the cave and took a deep breath. In the next moment, a milky and rich stream of power, which was as thick and pure as milk, transformed into two small whirlpools, roaring and drilling into his body.
The power contained in the small piece of magic crystal in Ji Hao's hand was almost equal to the total power of an ordinary peak-level Junior Magus, who had opened a hundred meridians.
This meant that this piece of magic crystal in Ji Hao's hand was more than enough for an ordinary human warrior to smoothly reach the peak-level Junior Magus level. Also, because of the high density of power contained in this piece of magic crystal, the cultivation speed of a human warrior would be at least ten times faster than that of an ordinary human warrior.
But in this cave, only the human-head-sized pieces of magic crystal were exposed outside the cave wall, over a thousand pieces. Every piece of magic crystal could be cut into over ten pieces of the same size as the one in Ji Hao's hand.
Inside the rock wall, there were even more pieces of magic crystal like this.
Otherwise, the natural power in this cave wouldn't be so dense.
Tie Yan staggered to the center of the cave. In the center of the cave, there was a ten feet wide depression, about a foot deep. Inside the depression was a pool of white cream. Obviously, this cream was condensed from extremely dense natural power after countless years of silence. It was similar to the essence milk of the earth, a natural treasure.
If these creams were used for cultivation, it would be a real waste. These creams could only be used to make medicines, and they had to be top-grade medicines, which could bring the dead back to life, grow flesh and bones, and bring the dead back to life.
What caused one to drool even more was that in the middle of this small pit, there were actually nine completely white medicinal herbs.
It was shaped like a tender bamboo and was only as thick as a pinky finger. It was about ten feet tall, and each branch had nine segments. Each segment had three thin branches, and each of them had nine slender silvery-white leaves. These herbs swayed without being blown by any wind, and their silver-white leaves bumped against each other, letting out a jade-like tinkling sound, which was extremely pleasing to the ear.
Ji Hao had already memorized all the common medicinal herbs in the Magi Palace, but he couldn't recognize these nine herbs. Obviously, these nine herbs were either not recorded in the Magi Palace's catalog, or they were the top-grade natural treasures, and with Ji Hao's current status as an apprentice, he couldn't access the most precious and secretive books of the Magi Palace.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that the nine medicinal herbs that were able to grow in such a magnificent and strange cavern, amidst the jade paste that was condensed from the Origin Energy of Heaven and Earth, and that they had been growing underground for god knows how many years, could only be described as' Divine Herbs'.
Ji Hao coughed slightly and said, "Natural treasures can only be harvested with special methods. Even a slight mistake could cause these nine magical medicines to be destroyed completely. Let's leave this place first, and inform the Magi Palace about this. "
Elder Iron Yan abruptly raised his head and said with a weird look, "Why should we inform the Magi Palace? Why? These are the treasures of our Rong Mountain Clan! "
Before his voice faded, a dim black light flashed across Elder Iron Yan's muscular arm. Tens of thumb-thick chains darted out from his arm, looked like multi-headed poisonous snakes with their jaws wide open, and locked all the joints of Ji Hao and the others at lightning speed.
Ji Hao and the others were all hit by the chains, and their bodies sank to the ground simultaneously, unable to move anymore.
Elder Iron Yan yelled harshly, "Seal the mine! All clansmen retreat! Seal the mine! Don't let any news about this place leak out! "
