While the members of the 115 Commando Team were practicing hard, near a sub-base dozens of kilometers away, a group of 5 geographers and 2 mineralogists, as well as 4 scouts, were searching the nearby woods, as if they were looking for something.

In other words, the nearby woods and even the area have been completely controlled by the action group and troops of the 125 Division, and it is listed as a military area subordinate to the nearby group army, and there are a large number of drone formations patrolling the sky at all times, in case someone accidentally breaks in, or there are wild beasts who want to attack the soldiers.

According to Zhou Xinming's careful testing in multiple sub-bases before, the spiritual power strength of this sub-base is the highest, which means that if there is really any heaven and earth treasure on the earth, then the probability of appearing here is the highest compared to other control areas.

Therefore, among the multiple military districts controlled by the 125 Division, this military zone has the highest level, and the density of personnel in the action group is also the largest, and every corner is filled with teams of different action groups, who carefully look at the ground, eager to inspect every inch of land.

The tasks of the members of the action group are actually similar to those of the ancient medicine pickers, they are responsible for finding their "targets" in the deep mountains and old forests, but the medicine pickers are only looking for medicine, while the tasks of the action group are more chaotic, they are responsible for site exploration, collecting specimens of elixirs and spirit plants, and looking for spirit crystals.

The members of this action group belong to the geographical type according to the classification, and the main task is to conduct geological exploration of the surrounding area, as well as to sample and analyze the soil and spiritual materials, of course, if they see the elixir, they will naturally collect points by the way.

"Wait a minute, there's a smear at 4 o'clock, what's that?" At this time, a soldier suddenly pointed to the vicinity and wondered, following the direction of his finger, everyone saw a small stone that was half covered by the dirt, even if it was buried, the stone still had a faint glimmer of light.

"Let's go over and see." The leader of the team commanded, and after the scout made sure that there was no problem in the vicinity, everyone cautiously approached the small glittering stone, or rather, it was a lilac crystal about 1 cubic centimeter.

I don't know if it's everyone's illusion, but after they got close to this crystal, everyone felt an inexplicable comfort, as if their whole body was soaked in a hot spring, and the whole person seemed to be sublimated.

"Yikes! Isn't this a spirit crystal?! Just as the 11 members of the action team were all gathered around the glowing crystal, a geologist suddenly exclaimed, he had a deep impression of this small fragment after a short training course on the identification of spiritual substances, and he recognized it at once.

"What, we actually found the spirit crystal?!" The leader of the action group was surprised, although he was not a scientific research worker, but the value of the spirit crystal was known to every member of the action group, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the material that the Kunlun Realm Immortal Gate just needs, and every cultivator cannot do without it.

"That's right, I dare to guarantee that this is definitely the spirit crystal, this was the key point when I took the training class before, the color and luster of the spirit crystal and other data are engraved in my mind, it is not an exaggeration to say that I know more about the spirit crystal than I know about my wife, although this is not the common ones, but it is definitely a serious spirit crystal." The geologist swore an oath.

"Okay old Lu, let's first follow the guidance of the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Substances" and carry out the standard inspection procedures." After the captain finished speaking, he took out a small bottle of reagent from his backpack, dripped a few drops of acid on it, and then took out a caliper and measured it for a long time, using various tools in turn.

Several addressologists also took out various geological hammers and other tools, carefully examined the crystal and wiped the dirt away, to confirm that it was a serious spirit crystal, and not some kind of impostor that looked very similar, or that the knowledge was slightly affected by psionic energy.

"It has been confirmed that this is the goal, according to the No. 6 agreement, Xiao Wang, you immediately report this matter to your superiors!" After the inspection, the captain immediately said with a serious expression, and then opened the safety bolt of the automatic rifle and began to be on guard, and the other two soldiers who were not in charge of communication were also on alert, protecting the scientific researchers in the middle.

According to the standards specified by the Oriental Union official for the action group, the discovery of spirit crystals is a major event, and the relevant alert level is also the highest, which is to prevent the possibility of demon beasts or wild beasts in a high spiritual power environment, after all, with the current spiritual power strength, it is rare to see a place where spirit crystals appear, and demon beasts are very likely to be entrenched in this area.

"Report to Bailu, this is the rabbit and grass group 1, we encountered an eagle during the implementation process, and we need the support of your hunting dogs, please collect the eagle according to the No. 6 agreement." The communication soldier known as Xiao Wang immediately took out the equipment and began to report.

"We have received it, please wait where you are, and we will soon send hounds to collect the eagles and open the grassland." After the command finished giving the order, soon a few small black dots flew in the sky, which were the helicopter formation that came to escort them.

…….

Five hours later. 125 Command

As a dignified minister, Zhou Xinming naturally couldn't accompany the people of the 115 commando team to train all the time, so after participating in a few times, he mainly focused on the overall arrangement of the department, and by the way, he launched several lectures on cultivation knowledge.

Like the training of the 115 commando, Zhou Xinming's lecture this time is also one of the pilots of the 396 high-end talent cultivation project, that is, to try to introduce the knowledge of cultivation into the academic world in the mode of education.

"First of all, the essence of the rune is to speed up the transmission of spiritual power through a specific model, so as to produce a spiritual energy cycle......"

"Minister of Reporting, a report from Base No. 117 said that a small number of spirit crystals were found by members of the action team at 9 o'clock this morning, and the spirit crystals have been sent to Academician Liang Jianguo's scientific research group for preservation, please instruct." At the moment when Zhou Xinming announced the end of class, an officer came to report.

"Okay, take me to see the spirit crystal sample." He didn't be polite to the other party, and after receiving the order, the officer led Zhou Xinming to a laboratory, which was already full of people at the moment, and many scientific researchers were concentrating on their work, and did not pay attention to the people who came in.

"Hello Minister Zhou, welcome to us, I am Liang Jianguo, the person in charge of the Lingjing scientific research project." The academician who had shot Zhou Xinming before came out to greet him, and after a few casual chats between the two of them, he got to the point.
