The stalagmite's head was so strong that the stone cone could not break it open.

"Ju Yang, why don't I go get an electric drill?" The soldier hesitated to suggest.

Yang Tao shook his head and said, "No, the stone cone will do." ”

Hearing him insist, the soldier could only stop talking.

Although Yang Tao didn't know what the stalagmite in front of him was, he at least had insight and knew that many things in the universe, especially those conceived by substances such as stone or jade, would deteriorate once they touched metal.

After discovering that his head could not be chiseled, he took the stone cone and chiseled it towards the stalagmite's waist.

I only heard the sound of "poof", and due to excessive force, I directly dug a big hole in the waist of the stalagmite, and the milky white liquid in it instantly flowed to the ground.

Yang Tao hurriedly lifted the stalagmite up, but it was too late, and there were only a few drops of liquid left in the stalagmite.

The soldier who was holding the stalagmite was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the stalagmite to be chiseled open at once, and a milky white liquid with a certain aromatic fragrance flowed out.

When the liquid dripped to the ground, it immediately turned reddish-brown, like blood flowing from a human body.

The soldier subconsciously planned to touch the liquid on the ground, but was immediately grabbed by Yang Tao's wrist.

"Don't touch it!" Yang Tao said loudly.

There was a hint of confusion in the soldier's eyes, but he honestly withdrew his right hand.

"It's probably poisonous, you put the liquid on the ground in a cup and take it to the lab for testing." Yang Tao commanded.

"Yes, Yang Ju." The soldier nodded, thought for a moment, took a saber from his waist, shoveled down the red liquid on the ground and put it into a glass, and then turned to leave.

After the soldier left, Yang Tao put down the stone cone in his hand, and then poked out his index finger and dipped a drop of milky white liquid in the stalagmite hole, put it in his mouth and sucked it.

With his current physique, he naturally didn't have to worry about ordinary poisons, otherwise he wouldn't dare to try so boldly.

After discovering that this milky white liquid could not increase the vitality in his body, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He also thought that the liquid in this stalagmite would help improve his cultivation!

Putting the broken stalagmites down, he continued to inspect the wooden boxes that had been opened.

At this time, the wooden box had almost half been opened, but most of the wooden boxes contained spirit crystals.

Just as he was feeling extremely disappointed, he was suddenly attracted by one of the wooden boxes.

The wooden box contained a large amount of jade, and it was not of very good quality.

He couldn't help but wonder why this box contained such a worthless thing.

Intrigued, he walked quickly to the chest containing a large amount of jade.

After walking in, he suddenly realized that these jade stones seemed to contain something.

Yang Tao casually picked up a jade box from the box, this jade box was very large, and a leaf-like item was faintly visible inside, he guessed that it should be some kind of elixir.

Looking at the things in his hand, he was quite excited in his heart.

Now that his cultivation has been stuck in the half-step innate realm for almost a year, this makes him a little anxious.

It's a pity that the resources on the earth are too scarce, and in his memory, except for the Jade Spirit Emperor, he doesn't know where there are other elixirs on the earth that can improve his cultivation.

Now seeing that the wooden box in front of him contained a substance that was suspected to be an elixir, how could he not be excited.

He took a deep breath and opened the jade box with trembling hands.

A fragrance unique to the elixir instantly penetrated into his lungs, making him feel refreshed.

However, Yang Tao's expression did not show any joy, but was a little frustrated.

Through the gap in the jade box, he clearly saw that the jade box contained a palm-sized red leaf, which was indeed an elixir, but unfortunately the effect of the medicine was limited, and it did not help his cultivation much.

He shook his head and closed the jade box again.

After putting the jade box back in the wooden box, he picked up the smaller jade box on the side.

There was a fruit faintly stored in this jade box, and to be honest, after seeing the shape of the medicinal herbs inside, Yang Tao was already a little disappointed.

Judging from his experience, elixirs like fruits were often not very powerful, and there were few elixirs like fruits among the high-grade elixirs he knew.

Although he felt that there was little hope, he would naturally not be willing to take a look if he didn't open it and take a look.

He didn't think much about it, and directly uncovered the lid of the jade box.

The moment the jade box was opened, a strong medicinal fragrance instantly spread.

After Yang Tao inhaled a little medicinal incense, he actually felt that the vitality in his body began to fluctuate, which surprised him!

He looked at the egg-sized red fruit in front of him with excitement, but he didn't expect that accidents were really everywhere.

In order to avoid the loss of the medicinal effect, he quickly closed the jade box again.

"This, this is the Holy Lin Fruit?" He muttered to himself with a suspicious expression.

"No, although it is very similar, it shouldn't be, once the Holy Lin Fruit is ripe, it will produce a majestic momentum, and it can't be approached at all until it is innate, this should be other elixirs."

Although he had already determined that the elixir in the jade box in front of him was not the Holy Lin Fruit, the excitement in his heart did not weaken in the slightest, on the contrary, it became more and more intense.

The Holy Lin Fruit was not edible for him at the moment, but the unknown elixir in front of him was exactly what he needed.

He was confident that if he could take this spirit fruit, he would definitely be able to break through to the innate realm this time.

"As long as I break through the innate realm, I will be able to take this opportunity to condense my divine sense, then hehe, Baiyang, you wait, I will let you try the pain of the blood killing curse!" There was a hint of murder in his eyes.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to leave with the jade box, but he knew he couldn't do it.

In desperation, he could only reluctantly put the jade box back into the wooden box.

A quarter of an hour later, the departed soldier returned again.

Seeing the other party coming back, Yang Tao pointed to the wooden box that had already been opened in the warehouse and said: "After these materials are sorted out, they will be stored in the secret material warehouse." ”

After a pause, he pointed to the wooden box containing the elixir and the wooden box containing the stalagmites and said, "By the way, let the two boxes of materials be sent to the laboratory first." ”

"Yes, Yang Ju!" The soldier straightened his chest and immediately turned to leave.

After the explanation, Yang Tao did not stay any longer, and left the No. 1 warehouse directly and returned to his office.

After about half an hour, the phone on his desk rang.

Glancing at the number shown on it, he knew that the elixir had most likely been sent to the lab.

He didn't hesitate and immediately picked up the phone.

"Well, yes, you first test the efficacy and use of the liquid in those stalagmites, remember not to use metal to excavate, it is better to use stone cones, the waist of the stalagmites is easy to chisel through."

"And a box? Oh, you can keep that box first, and I'll report to the director before making a decision. ”

After Yang Tao hung up the phone, he immediately dialed another number.

It didn't take long for the phone to be connected, and a loud voice came from the phone: "Yang Ju, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, I'm going to be in retreat for a while, and then you're going to do your duty on my behalf." Yang Tao said.

"Okay, I don't know how long you plan to retreat?"

"It's tentatively a month, maybe a little later, I'll let you know when I'm out of customs."

"Okay, Yang Ju, don't worry, I will make good work arrangements!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes left before the end of the afternoon, so he sat down again and continued to flip through the papers.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Yang Tao quietly walked out of the office, and there was no one in the corridor at this time.

The lab was located not far from his office, and it was possible to see through the glass partition wall whether there was anyone inside.

The reason why he asked people to send the elixir to the laboratory was precisely because the vigilance of the laboratory personnel was relatively weak, and it was more convenient for him to start.

That's right, he's going to steal the elixir that looks like the Holy Lin Fruit!

Although he can't take it out of the base if he steals it, it doesn't prevent him from taking it.

Of course, this is not entirely risk-free, and the safest way is to apply.

But he knew that even with his current status, the possibility of applying for this elixir that could improve his cultivation was not high.

Moreover, he couldn't wait that long.

Seeing that there was no one in the laboratory, he immediately dodged into the laboratory.

The lab wasn't particularly important, so he didn't have any surveillance cameras installed, or he wouldn't have had things moved here.

Once in the lab, he quickly found the two large wooden boxes that had been placed on the edge of the test bench.

One of the large wooden boxes has been opened, and even a stalagmite has been placed on the test bench, and the abdominal cavity has been hollowed out.

Yang Tao immediately walked to another large wooden box, opened the lid of the box, and quickly took out the jade box containing a similar Shenglin Fruit from it.

After getting the jade box in his hand, he didn't delay any longer, quickly left the laboratory, and walked towards the No. 5 cultivation room.

······

On August 16, it was a Monday, and the sky was cloudless and the weather was sunny in Hangzhou.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng was secretly texting with his girlfriend Luo Xiaoai in the classroom.

"What are you doing?" Luo Xiaoai asked.

"In class, boring class." Lu Feng said.

"What class, so boring?" Luo Xiaoai asked.

"Calculus, the professor is old and can't speak clearly." Lu Feng said.

"You don't understand, do you? (with a snickering emoji)" Luo Xiaoai asked.

"How is it possible, your man is so smart, he understands even if he doesn't listen!" Lu Feng said.

"Bragging! (with a tongue-sticking expression)," Luo Xiaoai said.

"What about you, what are you doing?" Lu Feng asked.

But what made him depressed was that the mobile phone signal suddenly disappeared, causing him to be unable to send text messages.

This situation had never been encountered before, which made him very annoyed.

He kept pressing the send button, as if trying to keep up with the signal.

Suddenly, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, and he was surprised to find that the old man next to him was also doing the same action with a look of chagrin.

"Skinny Monkey, what are you doing?" He asked softly, surprised.

The thin monkey with black-rimmed glasses raised his head and whispered with an annoyed face: "I don't know what's going on with my newly bought mobile phone, and suddenly there is no signal, and I have to play the game halfway, and I'm going to die!" ”

Lu Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't have a mobile phone signal alone, and the two of them had no mobile phone signal, which was obviously abnormal!

He hurriedly leaned over and gently patted the back of the classmate sitting in the front row, and shouted softly: "Zongzi, Zongzi!" ”

Zongzi was listening intently, and when he heard Lu Feng's voice, he couldn't help but turn his head slightly in surprise and asked softly, "What's wrong, madman?" ”

"Do you have a cell phone signal?" Lu Feng asked softly.

"Signal? Yes! Zongzi subconsciously replied, and by the way, he took out his mobile phone and secretly looked at it, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Huh! There really is no signal! He added, somewhat surprised.
