Chapter 2386 - 2385: Spirit Crystals Spanning Over 50,000 Miles... (Fourth Update!)
At their speed, even the slowest in the Fusion Realm shouldn’t take more than two hours to move close to eight million miles.
The reason it’s so slow, of course, is because they are constantly observing their surroundings, exploring all the resources they can find.
"There’s another medicinal ingredient!"
Someone spoke, their figure flickered, and moments later, they retrieved the medicinal ingredient.
"A sixth grade medicinal material, not bad." Ling Xiao glanced at the ingredient.
Throughout their journey, Su Han and the others had come across at least over eight hundred of these ingredients, and even the lowest grade was Fourth Grade.

If placed in the outside world, the value of these medicinal ingredients would naturally be immense.
But the key is, what they need at this moment is not medicinal ingredients!
Even if they acquired thousands, tens of thousands, how many pills could be refined from them? How many people could they be distributed to?
At this moment, the Phoenix Sect has fifty million people eagerly waiting.
The most direct and straightforward item is the Spirit Crystal, or even Demon Crystal Stone!
"And it’s called Fortune-bringing Pavilion, what a joke, they’d better call it Medicinal Pavilion!"
Ling Xiao muttered, "Two hours, eight million miles, yet not a single Spirit Crystal in sight. We only have ten years here!"
"Don’t rush."
Ye Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Ling Xiao, "It’s just been two hours, look at your impatience, as if Three Emperor Mountain owes you something."
"But this place is dirt poor, it truly doesn’t live up to the name ’Fortune-bringing Pavilion’!"
Ling Xiao grumbled, "I wonder if the Destruction Empress and Lord Holy Emperor have made any gains. Hopefully, they’ve already obtained a trillion Spirit Crystals, then we can just sit back and relax."
Everyone: "..."
...
The exploration continued.
One day, two days, three days, four days...
Time passed, the medicinal ingredients increased, but not a single Spirit Crystal or Demon Crystal Stone was found.
The Spirit Crystal Mountain mentioned by the Yin-Yang Blade Saint remains hidden, and the river formed by Magic Elements seems like it was just a fanciful tale.
On the tenth day, Ling Xiao finally lost all patience.
Not just him, many others were also growing restless.
And it was at this moment of eagerness when a bright Spirit Crystal finally appeared.
There was only one, nestled among the lush green grass, and if it weren’t for everyone’s Divine Sense probing, it might have gone unnoticed.
"Just one?"
Looking at the Spirit Crystal in his hand, Ling Xiao was half-smiling, half-crying.
"It’s not bad."
Ye Xiaofei bit back her anger, "They said ’Fortune-Bringing’, not ’how much’. Even the smallest amount counts, don’t be ungrateful."
"I..."
Ling Xiao almost couldn’t help but crush the Spirit Crystal.
Seeing his expression, many people’s faces turned red from holding back, their shoulders trembling, clearly trying not to burst into laughter.
"Sect Master, come here!"
Right at this moment, in Su Han’s storage ring, a Sound Transmission Crystal suddenly lit up.
With seventy thousand people, it was naturally impossible for all of them to gather in one place; they were generally dispersed but at most a million miles apart, not too far.
"There’s been a discovery!"
Su Han’s gaze flickered, and he immediately headed towards the location mentioned by the voice.
Before long, a vast lake appeared before their eyes.
Around the lake stood many people from the Phoenix Sect, all staring at it, excitement on their faces.
Su Han looked down and saw that the lake wasn’t very deep, resembling a beach, filled with sand.
And among this sand, there were specks of light reflecting off the water’s surface.
Everyone saw clearly that those specks of light were Spirit Crystals!
However, most of the Spirit Crystals were buried beneath the sand, with only a small part exposed, which is why they looked like stars.
"Are these all Spirit Crystals?!"
Ling Xiao’s eyes sparkled as he rushed over.
"That greedy one."
Ye Xiaofei pursed her lips but wasn’t any slower, even moving a bit faster than Ling Xiao.
"Be careful, there’s something suspicious about this situation. There might be something terrifying beneath the lake," Su Han warned.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei immediately became cautious.
They loved Spirit Crystals, but that didn’t mean they were greedy enough to risk their lives.
"This lake is indeed strange."
Ling Xiao’s figure flickered as he circled above the lake, "This lake is circular, with a diameter of at least fifty thousand miles, nearly an entire sea. But strangely, whether at the edge or the center, the water is uniformly shallow, no deeper than a meter, and below, it’s all sand."
Others also noticed this, frowning.
A lake with a diameter of over fifty thousand miles, yet only half a meter deep?
It’s clearly unusual just at first thought.
After a long observation, someone finally couldn’t resist, "Sect Master, should we attempt to see if there’s any danger after retrieving these Spirit Crystals?"
"Alright."
Su Han nodded, "Be careful, always keep your Divine Sense active and stay alert."
"Yes."
The person nodded, and then his figure darted forward, power of cultivation sweeping over, turning into a giant hand, diving into the water and grabbing a large handful of Spirit Crystals from the sand.
In that handful, there were thousands!
After acquiring the Spirit Crystals, the person wasted no time and ascended into the Void, quietly observing the area below.
However, even after a stick of incense’s time passed, no threat emerged, only the rippling water surface gradually calming down.
"No danger?"
The person hesitated a bit before grabbing another handful of Spirit Crystals.
As expected, like before, no danger arose.
"Fortune-bringing Pavilion, Fortune-bringing Pavilion..."
The person murmured, "Could it be that this Fortune-bringing Pavilion indeed brings us wealth? If so, we’re going to strike it rich!"
As the words fell, the person reached out a third time.
This time, the hand enlarged, grabbing tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals.
Through the lake’s surface, through the scattered sand, a vast pile of Spirit Crystals emerged.
Even though this person had reached down over a meter deep, they still couldn’t see any soil beneath the Spirit Crystals.
As if the entire lake, from top to bottom, was all Spirit Crystals.
"So many?"
Many people took a deep breath, hearts pounding.
If the entire lake was like this, the quantity of Spirit Crystals contained within it would be unimaginably massive!
"You go try it." Su Han looked at Ling Xiao.
The latter didn’t hesitate, conjuring a thousand-zhang long hand, and fiercely grasped towards the lake!
