"It's exactly the same."

Zhao Guoguo repeatedly compared for several minutes, and finally came to this conclusion.

The word fire attribute, like the word human, is a general term for a category.

In different types of fire sources, there will be some big or small differences in the structure of the internal energy of the fire attribute, just like a human fingerprint, it is almost impossible to find exactly the same.

For example, the fire attribute on the Aether Crystal and the fire attribute displayed when Xana released her skills are completely different things - the latter is undoubtedly much more violent.

However, the spirit crystal inlaid on Xana's staff is exactly the same as the fire attribute of the ether crystal.

If we follow the logic, there is only one possibility.

- This Fire Spirit Crystal, which itself is an Aether Crystal from the world of Heidlin.

But there's a strange thing about that......

"President Xana's Fire Spirit Crystal doesn't have the fluctuation of the ether?" Heyvin asked his question, "Did I feel wrong?" ”

"You're not wrong." Zhao Guoguo said, "There is indeed no ether on it." ”

"Could it be that it was consumed when you cast the skill?" Guo Yang asked.

Xana thought about it for a while, and simply took a new fire spirit crystal out of the ring.

She had never paid attention to the aether before, and she couldn't tell if it was consumed or not.

Zhao Guoguo took the new Fire Spirit Crystal in his hand and felt it, and shook his head: "Still not." ”

"How could this be?" Huyvin's eyes widened.

"Maybe someone took it away." Su Mu said.

"Impossible, impossible." Heywen shook his head several times before continuing, "The power of the ether and the power of the attributes are naturally symbiotic, and it is impossible to separate them, otherwise, wouldn't we be able to directly use the ether crystal to cultivate?" ”

Su Mu was stunned.

That's right, the realm of a cultivator depends on the strength of the ether in the body, if you can find a way to absorb the energy of the ether crystal, then wouldn't your cultivation rise slowly?

"So why can't you use the Aether Crystal to cultivate now?" Su Mu asked.

"It's because the power of the ether and the power of attributes are inseparable." "There are six types of attribute power in the human body, just like nature, but they are in a state of complete equilibrium, and if you forcibly ingest the energy in the ether crystal, it will cause the attributes in the body to be out of balance, and your life will be in danger. ”

"Are you sure you can't be separated?" Zhao Guoguo asked.

"I'm sure!" Huyven said seriously, "This is the conclusion that our ancestors of Heidlin have studied the Aether Crystal for thousands of years, if it weren't for that, we would have been able to cultivate more sages with the help of the Aether Crystal, and we wouldn't have lost to Baha at that time......"

Speaking of Baja, the girl's mood was a little low, Guo Yang held her little hand with some distress, and the girl shook her head and smiled at him.

"President, do you have any other gems?" Zhao Guoguo suddenly asked.

"How many more, either?" Xana asked.

"Both."

"I have that too."

As she spoke, Violet took out a beautiful gift box containing more than twenty ice-blue crystals.

It was the one she used to replace her greatsword.

Su Mu pondered whether his next weapon should also be inlaid with a few fire spirit crystals on the sword.

Although this thing does not add damage, it can increase the efficiency of the stat, that is, accelerate the cast, but only those with the corresponding talent can use it.

Belch... He doesn't seem to need to say that.

Nightflame... There don't seem to be any dark spirit crystals on the market.

It seems that the eldest lady's talent still has to be brought over, so it's better to find a reason to kiss her......

In Su Mu's thoughts, Zhao Guoguo had already come to a conclusion.

"Exactly." The girl frowned and said, "There can't be such a coincidence in the world, someone must have forcibly sucked away the power of the ether inside, and it was pumped cleanly, there was nothing left." ”

"But how could they do something that even the sages couldn't do?" Huyvin couldn't believe it.

Xia Na asked, "Evan what kind of realm is the sage you are talking about on the Blue Star?" ”

"They're certainly much better than the Pope! I remember that the strongest senior in history can summon a meteorite from outside the sky, and he can directly destroy an entire continent......" Huywen was fascinated, but when he saw the strange eyes of several people, he immediately reacted, and quickly bowed and apologized: "Ah I'm sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you!" ”

"Evan, you don't have to be so careful with us." Xana helped her up and said with a smile, "What's more, what you said is not wrong, your senior is indeed stronger than the Pope." ”

- and much stronger!

Even the three popes combined are not necessarily his opponents.

I'm afraid that this level of power can only be mastered by advancing to the sixth order that has never been seen before, right?

"You're ignoring a problem." Zhao Guoguo reminded.

Su Mu was stunned: "What's the problem?" ”

"In addition to strengthening the occult of the human body, there is also technology in this universe." Zhao Guoguo said softly, "There are so many types of other worlds that appear on the Blue Star, who can guarantee that there is no technological civilization among them that is good at ingesting ether?" ”

Shana and Violie looked at each other and immediately smiled, "We seem to have discovered something terrible." ”

"What's the big deal?" Guo Yang's appetite was raised.

Su Mu also looked at the two girls very curiously.

"You don't usually have to buy spirit crystals, of course you don't know." Xana said, "Since a year ago, spirit crystals of any attribute have only been bought in shops under the umbrella of the church. ”

"Isn't that normal?" Su Mu said, "Most of the mineral resources have always been in the hands of the church, so it's not surprising that the Aether Crystal is monopolized by them, right?" ”

"It's the strange timing." Shana sighed and said, "The time of Pope Mara's retreat was also a year ago. ”

A year ago?

Monopoly crystals, aether extraction, retreat......

“…… This means that Pope Mara has mastered the method of extracting the aether from the crystal, and has taken all the resources to help him break through the sixth order by himself?! Su Mu was shocked by his own reasoning.

But on the contrary, Zhao Guoguo nodded and told him that this might be the truth.

"How can he be so selfish!" Guo Yang said indignantly, "This kind of good thing that can improve the strength of all cultivators, but he hides it alone and enjoys it for himself, isn't he afraid of causing public anger!" ”

"As long as he doesn't say it, who will know?" Su Mu spread his hands, but quickly accepted this matter.

Isn't it just corruption and concealment, it's been commonplace for a long time, but things are different, so there's no need to be too surprised.

"We can report it!" Guo Yang said loudly.

"You're being, aren't you?" Xia Na laughed, "Let's not talk about whether anyone believes this kind of thing, if it attracts the attention of the church, even if the Pope himself is in retreat, his Knights of Daybreak can kill you." ”

"Oh no, it's our life." She added.

"Uh... I'll just say it, president, don't take it seriously. Guo Yang shrunk his neck stupidly.

"So what now? Will the Aether Crystal be returned to the school? Su Mu asked, "In the end, it will definitely run into the hands of the church again." ”

"What if you don't pay it?" Xana shook her shoulder, "The agreement has been signed... Besides, it's useless for us to keep it. ”

"Why don't I buy all these crystals?" Violie hesitated.

"Nope." Zhao Guoguo shook his head, "Such a large batch of crystal vein schools will definitely be reported to the church, and when the time comes, we will not be able to explain it to you, so we must hand it over." ”

"To tell you the truth, I don't want any of these aether crystals to give them." Su Mu said bluntly, "This is tantamount to helping the church improve its strength in disguise, which is harmful to us." ”

"Who said it was going to be given to them?" Zhao Guoguo asked.

Su Mu was stunned: "Didn't you say that you had to hand it in?" ”

"Handing it in is handing it over to the school, which is fulfilling the obligations and responsibilities that we should fulfill, but it does not mean that the church will definitely get it, because in the process of transporting the crystal, it ......"

Zhao Guoguo tilted his head and said, "We can grab it." ”
