Chapter 400: Top-Tier Mystic Crystal!!!

“Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus” Hao Ren was a bit confused.

“Yes, Gongzi. To put it more precisely, it’s the seed of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus. My sister and I have been asking around, and we finally found out that there is such a seed in the Dragon God Shrine,” Lu Lili said.

“You need the treasure…for something?” Hao Ren asked.

His sweat from running outside had already dried up, and Hao Ren drew back his nature essence as he walked back to school.

“Not for us, but for Gongzi,” Lu Linlin interrupted, “The Seven-Color Snow Lotus is one of the ten best elixir materials, and the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus has even purer essence than the Seven-Color Snow Lotus. However, the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus melts when it meets fire, so it can not be used to make elixir pills. On the other hand, the lotus seed of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus is actually the most balanced natural ingredient in the world and the most suitable for Gongzi to refine into a mystic crystal.

Mystic crystal!

Hao Ren was familiar with this word.

“A thousand-year Seven-Color Snow Lotus can be turned into mystic crystal as well, but the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus is a rarer treasure no matter what,” Lu Linlin said.

Speaking of this, Hao Ren remembered the two thousand-year Seven-Color Snow Lotuses left in the cave in Sky Mountain. Only low-level cultivators under Zhen-level or the Core Formation Realm could enter the cave, so Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to get in there anymore. However, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi might be able to get inside.

There was an abundance of spiritual herbs in the Herb King Valley, A.K.A the Ethereal Summit, on Fifth Heaven, but there were no snow lotuses. These lotuses were probably the specialty of the Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven, and they strictly kept the lotuses in their own hands.

Hao Ren had personally seen the magical use of the snow lotuses when Zhao Kuo failed the Heavenly Tribulation and was in severe danger. Even Zhen Congming said that the snow lotuses were holy materials for elixir making. If they could transplant some of them to Fifth Heaven and grow them on a large scale…

“If I can refine a mystic crystal for myself, I will be able to absorb more nature sense and break through realms easier. Is that right?” Hao Ren asked.

“Mystic crystal is like a second dragon core to a dragon cultivator, and it will be inside the cultivator for the rest of his or her life. Therefore, dragon cultivators are very careful in selecting mystic crystals. It has to be the best match for their physique and has abundant nature essence,” Lu Linlin answered.

“Gongzi cultivates all five elemental essences at the same time. Therefore, your mystic crystal has to be a natural treasure of all five elements as well. Otherwise, you need to gather different materials and connect them through external forces. Its effect will be reduced since it is not natural,” Lu Lili stuck her head over and said.

Hao Ren was a little convinced by their persuasive attitude.

He had never considered mystic crystal since he just reached Gen-level. Generally, dragon cultivators would start paying special attention to mystic crystals when they reached Dui-level. They would try to get a mystic crystal of their own before breaking through to Xun-level in order to assist them in reaching Kun-level and Qian-level.

All the Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators had their mystic crystals. In other words, there was no chance to get to Kun-level and Qian-level with just the dragon core!

The importance of a mystic crystal to a high-level cultivator was crucial.

The smaller dragon clan didn’t possess the materials or treasures to refine mystic crystals. In addition, the materials that could be used as mystic crystals were scarce and scattered around. They were either under the control of large dragon clans or in extremely dangerous places.

Therefore, there was only one place to get it for talented dragon cultivators from small forces- the Dragon God Shrine!

The Dragon God Shrine possessed abundant resources and information. The identity as an inspector could allow them to enter some restricted areas. There was hope in either getting the mystic crystal from the Dragon God Shrine by outstanding performance or finding it themselves!

“So, the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus is a treasure but can’t be used in elixir making. It is useless for most cultivators, right?” Hao Ren thought for a bit and asked.

Hao Ren didn’t have the confidence to get to rank one. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even expect himself to rank in the top three in the exams. As long as he could rank within the top ten and become an official inspector, he could potentially get his hands on this treasure.

“The Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus can’t be used in elixir making, but it can be used to make dharma treasures. So, some inspectors might use it to create dharma treasures,” Lu Linlin said.

Some of the thousand-year spiritual herbs could be used in elixir making as well as dharma treasure making. For example, thousand-year rosewood could be made into elixir pills as well as wood-elemental dharma treasures.

The seed of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus was very hard, and it combined all five elements. It would be great if someone made it into a beam-shaped dharma treasure that could help with boosting cultivation speed and offer additional protection.

“So…” Hao Ren felt the sudden pressure. The quality of the mystic crystal affected the level of his future realm. It could also potentially determine if he could become a Heavenly Dragon or not in the future.

All dragon cultivators tried their best to locate the best mystic crystal for them. Even Su Han, who dedicated herself to cultivation, spent a long time looking for the most suitable mystic crystal for herself.

Since the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus was the best mystic crystal for someone like him, Hao Ren sure wouldn’t consider the Seven-Color Snow Lotus anymore.

“Don’t you worry, Gongzi. I have discussed with Lili, and we decided to sneak into the Dragon God Shrine to take the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus for you in case you don’t get rank one!” Lu Linlin bit her lip and said.

“No; that’s too risky!” Hao Ren immediately rejected this idea.

The Dragon God Shrine was the highest administration institution which governed the Dragon Tribe. It was also the united force of the dragon cultivators against the human cultivators who were on and above Fifth Heaven.

Even a top-tier Qian-level master wouldn’t be able to get in and out of there freely! Not to mention that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were only on the low-tier Qian-level at the moment.

The twins were surprised at Hao Ren’s intense reaction. Then, they smiled at each other happily.

Their Gongzi rarely contacted them, but his rejection showed how much he cared about them!

“You two are more important than the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus,” Hao Ren said slowly.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other again and felt the warmth in their hearts.

One of them had a ponytail, and the other had pigtails. Their hairs were so long that they reached their waists. They hugged Hao Ren from both sides and said, “You are important to us too, Gongzi!”

Hao Ren looked at them and laughed helplessly.

The scene of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili entering the school gate with their arms on Hao Ren’s arms almost killed all the male students in the area!

Hao Ren had just arrived at school side by side with Su Han, and now he was making another entry with the twins! He had won the wrath of God and the resentment of men!

Not to mention that his actual girlfriend, Xie Yujia, was also a beautiful girl!

“Alright, I’m going to class.” Hao Ren realized that it was almost time for class. He lighted waved off Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s arms.

“Ok, Gongzi!” the twins stood straight and said pleasantly as their hairs swayed behind them.

Their voices caused so many guys to be jealous!

Although they couldn’t get near ice-cold Su Han, they wished to get close to the beautiful twin sisters who were so energetic and cute! However, the sisters didn’t seem to be interested in any other guys!

Hao Ren jogged into an academic building, knowing that he had now become the public enemy of all guys in the entire school.

Morning class was about to start.

Xie Yujia slighted waved at Hao Ren from the front row.

Hao Ren waved back. He thought for a bit before he walked over to her. He bent over and asked her quietly, “Did Zhao Yanzi cause you any trouble?”

“No, she was good.” Xie Yujia laughed.

“Oh… that’s a relief,” Hao Ren looked up at Zhao Jiayi and the guys at the back. He straightened up and whispered, “I’ll sit with them today.”

“Um! Sit in the back.” Xie Yujia nodded understandingly.

Hao Ren ran to the back, and Zhao Jiayi softly knocked Hao Ren’s shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” Hao Ren asked.

“Did you jog to school with Su Han today? I saw you guys when I was jogging by the south gate.” Zhao Jiayi glimpsed at Xie Yujia up front and said, “Are you not worried about Xie Yujia getting mad at you now that you are so close with Su Han?”

“It’s ok!” Hao Ren squeezed behind the desk, but he felt an acute pain on his butt the second he sat down.

“Hiss,” he breathed in deeply through his teeth and stood up immediately, covering up his bum.

“Hemorrhoids?” Zhou Liren shouted toward Hao Ren.

“Get lost!” Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Zhao Liren. Then, he took Zhou Liren’s empty bag from his desk and put it on his chair. Then, he slowly sat himself down.

Su Han showed him tough love and didn’t spare him any mercy. Amongst the 12 kilometers Hao Ren covered from her place to school, Su Han had beaten him for almost eight kilometers. His butt was the primary target. It was ok for him to walk but sitting down caused him a lot of pain.

Also, as soon as he relaxed, the Five Mountains Bracelets would start functioning. It blocked Hao Ren’s meridians tightly and paralyzed his body.

Xie Yujia turned her head toward Hao Ren right before class started and gave him a sweet smile.

She had a light blue hairpin on the side of her hair, and it made her looked very relaxing and refreshing.

“It worked out?” Zhao Jiayi looked at Hao Ren in admiration. He couldn’t help but show Hao Ren his big thumb.

He believed that Xie Yujia must have heard about Hao Ren jogging to school with Su Han. However, she didn’t appear to be upset at all. That was why Zhao Jiayi admired Hao Ren.

Beep, beep… Hao Ren’s phone rang, and he immediately picked it up.

“Ren, you are going to attend the Dragon God Shrine’s general examinations?” It was Zhao Guang’s calm voice.

“Yes, Uncle.” Hao Ren didn’t expect Zhao Guang to call, but he lowered his voice and answered.

“Um…” Zhao Guang was silent for a few seconds. “This is the first time for our East Ocean Dragon Clan to attend the Dragon God Shrine’s general examinations.”

“Is there anything I should know, Uncle?” Hao Ren hesitated before he asked.

“I just got the news; my third brother will be in the exams as well,” Zhao Guang said calmly after a few seconds of silence.
