"You make a valid point."
The two began to examine the pool inch by inch. This was not a real pool, but rather a large rock that had sunk into an oval-shaped depression. The rock was finely textured, appearing impermeable, with no visible seams, giving no indication that air could pass through it.
"Don't you think this thing resembles some kind of condensation device?" Lin Yao mused, stroking her chin as she observed the massive stone, increasingly convinced of its resemblance.
"So you mean that the area beneath this giant stone is where the air circulates?" Yao Beiluo remarked, demonstrating his sharp understanding as a strategist.
Lin Yao speculated that high-concentration energy was emanating from beneath the stone, condensing into liquid after passing through this peculiar rock, forming an energy liquid on its surface.
"We need to find a way to move this stone!" Yao Beiluo declared, positioning himself to help lift the giant rock alongside her.
At that moment, Lin Yao found herself missing the biological mech that Su Rui had given her. Being under twenty-two years old meant she couldn't legally pilot a mech, and it had been taken by the First Research Institute for study under the pretense of renting it.
"If I had that mech, I wouldn't be bullied by those beasts so badly!"
Lin Yao pushed Yao Beiluo aside. "I don't need your help; I can do it myself!"
Realizing she had reached Level Seven in her physical training, Yao Beiluo stepped back. A small rock like this wouldn't require his assistance anymore.
With no need for stances or deep breathing techniques, Lin Yao simply exerted a bit of strength and lifted the massive stone with ease.
After setting the stone aside, they began to inspect the ground where it had been resting. Gently tapping and feeling around, they soon heard a hollow sound in one particular spot.
Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo exchanged glances. She then used her hand like a hammer and struck that spot, producing a crisp crack followed by a surge of rich energy escaping from the newly created opening.
At that moment, a notification chimed: "Discovery of Check-in Point [Five Element Crystal Mine]. Would you like to spend a check-in point to register?"
Lin Yao silently thought about checking in.
"Check-in successful! You have obtained Five Element Crystal Mine Mother!"
For a brief moment, Lin Yao was stunned. The concept of "Mine Mother" associated with crystal mines felt surreal to her. After surviving for so many years, this was her first encounter with such a notion.
Lin Yao, this energy is so dense. When called by Yao Beiluo, Lin Yao instantly snapped back to her senses.
She carefully activated her abilities and felt the rich energy at the cave entrance.
"Is there any lighting?"
Although they were practitioners of body techniques and ability users who could see in the dark, it was still different from being in a well-lit environment.
Yao Beiluo quickly retrieved a lighting device from his space and handed it to her.
Lin Yao took it and shone the light toward the cave entrance. As the beam illuminated the area, she saw sparkling crystals inside, vibrant and beautiful.
Deciding to expand the entrance, she struck around it, widening it to a width suitable for one person.
Now, even more energy flowed out from within. Shining the light again revealed an even more dazzling sight, resembling a world of colorful crystals.
"What is this?!" Yao Beiluo had never seen anything like these colorful, crystal-like formations before.
"This should be elemental crystal ore. Come on, let’s go down and take a look."
As Lin Yao spoke, she jumped directly into the widened entrance without hesitation.
Her actions were quicker than her words; Yao Beiluo barely had time to remind her to be careful before she leaped in. Fortunately, the cave wasn’t too deep; Lin Yao only needed to use the surrounding crystals for support a couple of times before landing safely.
Once on the ground, she looked around and didn’t notice any danger before calling up to Yao Beiluo, "There’s nothing dangerous down here; hurry up and come down!"
Following her instructions, Yao Beiluo jumped down and was immediately struck by the breathtaking sight before him.
His eyes were filled with dazzling colors from countless crystals that were both beautiful and radiant; staring too long would surely dazzle anyone's vision.
While he was still in shock, Lin Yao casually pried off a piece of crystal from the side and activated her abilities to absorb it directly. "This is pure elemental crystal; it can be absorbed without any refining."
As she spoke, she broke off a golden piece and handed it to Yao Beiluo. "Give it a try!"
Yao Beiluo took it and attempted to absorb it using his golden abilities. Just as Lin Yao had said, the energy was pure and easy to absorb.
Seeing this cavern filled with seemingly endless elemental crystals, excitement spread across his face. "With so many elemental crystals here, we could cultivate a large number of advanced ability users! Our combat power level on Yunmeng Star is about to take a huge leap forward."
The way he said this was both overly serious and somewhat official, not at all like a typical young person.
Lin Yao couldn't help but glance at him sideways, teasing, "You're so young yet so worried about the country and its people. Aren't you afraid of overthinking and aging prematurely?"
Yao Beiluo rubbed his nose, giving an awkward smile but remained silent.
Lin Yao didn't press him further on his thoughts and continued deeper into the mine, following the paths that seemed to connect everywhere. However, not every passage was easy to navigate; some were narrow and small, others rough and uneven, while some were blocked by clusters of elemental crystals suspended in mid-air.
To find a way out, they had no choice but to explore each passage one by one. After determining which ones were impassable, they marked them and moved on to investigate the next.
After spending about three or four days, the two had explored all the passages without finding an exit.
When they finally stopped to rest, Lin Yao looked around at the dazzling elemental crystals and couldn't help but ask, "What do you think these elemental crystals are like in their formation?"
Most mineral-like substances are products of tectonic movements. I’ve never seen these elemental crystals before; I wonder if they can be classified as minerals.
"What about energy stones?" Lin Yao continued. "Although they are specifically used for machinery, I feel like they should be more similar to the elemental crystals that humans absorb."
Hearing her speak like this piqued Yao Beiluo's interest.
He sat down, animatedly explaining to her as if he were an expert. "Energy stones might be a type of special gaseous energy that solidifies into energy stones through an unknown process."
"Unknown process?"
Lin Yao suddenly recalled receiving the "Elemental Crystal Mine Mother" during her previous sign-in. She quickly opened her notes.
Elemental Crystal Mine Mother (can be used to condense elemental energy into crystal forms).
This elemental crystal mine is so vast and has such peculiar formations that it doesn't seem like it formed in a short time. It's very likely that there truly exists an Elemental Crystal Mine Mother here, continuously producing elemental crystals.
