On the other hand, Murong Yanran's body had an instinctive desire to refine this energy. She even had the impulse to immediately refine it.

Lu Chen grabbed the Spirit Crystal with one hand and with a thought, he flew in front of Murong Yanran.

"Then I'll give you the first spirit crystal! "Let's try refining it and see how its effect is."

Murong Yanran did not expect such a result.

But after a second, Murong Yanran understood.

Thinking about this period of time, ever since Lu Chen appeared, he seemed to have given away quite a few treasures.

The spirit crystal in front of him was clearly the same.

Unfortunately, when faced with the temptation of this energy, she only felt her heart thumping, and she was unable to calm down no matter what.

After a bitter smile, Murong Yanran raised her head again. She looked gratefully at Lu Chen, then swiftly walked away. After searching for a while, she sat down on a nearby rock.

Lu Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Murong Yanran was looking for a location in the Nine Palace that was filled with spirit energy.

This was talent.

Murong Yanran sat on the ground and held the spirit crystal in her hand.

As it gradually left his palm, the crimson red Spirit Crystal floated in front of his chest, less than three inches away from his chest, and slowly rotated.

With this rotation, the red halo that lingered around her started to dissipate like mist, quickly enveloping Murong Yanran.

Lu Chen, Lin, and He both stood aside. One reason was because they were protecting Murong Yanran, while the other reason was because they were carefully observing the entire process of refining the Spirit Crystal.

For Lu Chen and the others, this was their first time seeing the refining of a spirit crystal.

Lu Chen could clearly feel that the Spirit Crystal was rotating at a rapid speed, atomizing the spirit energy. At the same time, a small part of the energy started merging with Murong Yanran's true energy and flowed into her body.

However, Lu Chen discovered that most of the energy fluctuations had leaked out. Murong Yanran had completely lost control.

From this, Lu Chen gradually came to understand that most of the energy in the Spirit Crystal was not compatible with the true qi itself.

At least a considerable amount of energy had been wasted, and the efficiency of using it could be said to be extremely low.

The reason why many artificers chose to inlay spirit crystals into their artifacts and weapons was to continuously unleash the energy contained within the spirit crystals. Naturally, this was not without reason.

It was too obvious that he couldn't fully absorb all the energy from the spirit crystal.

However, directly refining spirit crystals like this, even if one only absorbed less than a tenth of it, was still several times faster than cultivating to an individual cultivator.

At this moment, Murong Yanran had experienced it firsthand.

Even though it was just a short moment, it was more than half a year's worth of effort.

In that moment, Murong Yanran felt very lucky.

As a result, Lu Chen also felt that the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were looking for a way to break through the Earth Stage. They were most likely referring to this place — the Demon World.

In other words, the reason why his parents were able to break through the shackles of the Age of Chaos and successfully break through to the Earth Stage was probably because they used a similar method.

After all, although the other five realms had the opportunity, Lu Chen naturally believed that his parents must have had a fortuitous encounter here since they had the projection of a Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

If that was really the case, then it would be even more necessary for Lu Chen to quickly raise his strength here in order to reach the Karakorum Savant as soon as possible.

Only by greatly increasing his strength would he be able to see his parents through the formation.

Moreover, Lu Chen hoped to be able to get a clear picture of the entire matter from them.

As for the little fox, it seemed to have something hard to explain, so he naturally didn't expect it.

He Qian was also very interested in directly refining spirit crystals.

She first stared unblinkingly at Murong Yanran before turning around. Seeing Lu Chen lost in thought, she opened her mouth to ask.

"I'm wondering what time it is now. Should we all rest?"

At this moment, Lu Chen's stomach rumbled.

Now that it was time for lunch, he decided to use this Iron Headed Sika Deer to sacrifice his five viscera temple.

Furthermore, they were spirit beasts that lived in the Demon World. Aside from possessing the Spirit Crystal, their flesh and blood were similarly br.i.m.m.i.n.g with spirit energy. Therefore, they ought to be decent.

Just as he said.

Lu Chen once again raised the Blue Lotus Sword in his hand and casually slashed, easily slicing open the legs of the Iron Headed Sika Deer.

Lu Chen once again witnessed that the Blue Lotus Sword was indeed incomparably sharp. Whether it was used to kill enemies on stage, or to cut gra.s.s and cut meat, it was extremely handy and convenient.

Soon after, he skillfully cut off four deer legs. This leg was the most delicious in the whole Iron Heel Plum Blossom Deer.

Seeing Lu Chen's actions, He Qian, who was standing beside him, immediately came to a realization.

Eating venison wasn't a big deal. Not only should spirit beast venison taste delicious, it might also be of great benefit to the body.

It's fine if you don't have the complete set, but how much do you need for the most basic seasonings?

However, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

For her, she had been following her senior, Qingyun, around everywhere for all these years, eating and sleeping in the open. She was not picky about food.

However, there was no guarantee that it would taste good.
