me or not!These words lit up a spark in Jiang Yun's eyes, and as he felt the aura emanating from the sacred relic of the Barbarian Clan, it relentlessly eroded the finger within him.Ginger Yun didn't...If it were another time, Jiang Yun might not have thought anything of the firebird's words.

But just now, he learned from the mouths of Gu Lu San that the entrance to the place they wanted to go was guarded by powerful restrictions.

Combining what Huo Bird is saying now, when it first discovered this amber stone, there was also a prohibition in place.

And this prohibition, conveniently enough, was placed under the roots of a paulownia tree. This made Gingercloud really want to suspect something.

Isn't that entrance also under the paulownia tree!

Or perhaps the Paulownia tree wasn't originally there, but after they discovered that entrance, the Paulownia child moved its true body there.

The purpose, of course, is to hide the entrance so that it cannot be found by others.

Gingercloud continued, addressing the Firebird, "Have you seen such stones anywhere else"

"No!"

"Exactly because I've only seen it once, under the paulownia tree," Huo Qilin nodded emphatically. "That's why I remember it so clearly."

Jiang Yun nodded, his eyes shining even brighter. "That means this stone most likely came from the place that the ancients of Luo mentioned!"

However, just having this stone isn't enough for me to accept their invitation and go with them!

Although Gingercloud was indeed curious about the invitation from the three ancients, for his own safety he was still preparing to refuse.

Because his strength was comparatively weak against the ancient Romans, even with the soul-locking incense in hand, he could be attacked by them at any time.

After all, Soul-Locking Incense isn't omnipotent, there are ways to block it.

Moreover, his own demonic cultivation was only half-baked, unable to fully seal even a Heavenly Blessing realm demon, let alone a Profound Mind realm one.

Therefore, going to that place would be more harmful than beneficial for oneself!

Although this amber stone can absorb toxins, it is still not worth risking one's life to obtain.

He shook his head, Jiang Yun was about to get up and leave when the Firebird suddenly spoke again: "What's so good about this broken stone I've tasted it, it has a bloody taste, it's terrible!"

"The smell of blood"

Jiang Yun was startled again, sizing up the nine amber stones. He suddenly realized that the amber of these stones truly resembled the color formed by blood congealing and drying for a very long time.

Just at that moment, a word suddenly popped into Ginger Cloud's mind, and he blurted out: "Blood crystal!"

Back when he was at Mang Mountain, he and his grandfather had collected quite a lot of monster beast blood.

He remembered one time when his grandfather told him that the blood of some powerful monsters wouldn't dry up and evaporate after leaving their bodies. Instead, it would gradually solidify over time into something like stone.

This thing, is called Blood Crystal!

Blood crystals are extremely rare and can be used to refine certain special pills.

Jiang Yun had never seen a blood crystal before, so he hadn't thought about it just now. But the firebird's words suddenly reminded him of all these things.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grasped a piece of amber from mid-air, placing it before his eyes.

As the stone was taken out, a huge roar erupted instantly, and the entire formation collapsed in an instant, ceasing to function.

The middle-aged man who was still sitting on the stone outside suddenly changed his expression. He was about to stand up, but a voice from Fu Sangzi's transmission reached his ear: "Don't go!"

Fusangzi's words naturally caused the middle-aged man who had stood up to sit down again.

Meanwhile, a hint of suspicion crossed Fusangzi's face as he muttered to himself, "Could he have discovered it"

Holding the stone, because a special power still resided within it, preventing the divine consciousness from entering, Jiang Yun could only carefully examine it with his eyes.

This stone is only the size of a palm, and its shape is also irregular, appearing square.

The more he looked, the more he felt that this stone really seemed to be formed from congealed blood!

But when he sniffed it with his nose, he couldn't smell the bloody scent that the firebird had spoken of.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun suddenly tightened his grip with his palm, intending to crush a corner off the stone.

However, even though he used all his strength, the stone remained unscathed!

Jiang Yun's cultivation at the Spirit Transformation Realm was formidable, his physical strength extraordinary. Yet, with such power, he couldn't crush a stone. If not for experiencing it firsthand, Jiang Yun would have found it impossible to believe.

Although he wanted to take out the Zangdao Sword and try again, he was a little worried that this stone might also break the Zangdao Sword. Then, he would be the one who suffered a big loss!

However, this also gave him almost a 80% certainty that this amber stone was blood crystal!

And these blood crystals' origins are most likely from the Daoist demon mentioned by the three of them, Gu Luo!

If all these formations here, including the enormous vortex formation of the three major forces, were made from blood crystals, then the quantity of blood crystals would be extremely vast.

"That demonic beast of Daoist nature, having shed so much blood, and its place being covered in restrictions, was it imprisoned there or guarding it!"

"In my opinion, the former possibility is more likely, but the latter cannot be ruled out. Perhaps he once fought with monks who, like those from ancient Luo, wanted to leave their post and clashed with him, leaving him wounded and bleeding."

Suddenly, Jiang Yun looked at the firebird and asked, "Have you ever eaten this stone"

"Enjoy!"

"You can bite it to pieces!"

"Sure!"

"Bite me!"

"No, it's too awful!"

As Jiang Yun took out another Heavenly Rank Essence Gathering Pill, the Firebird reluctantly extended its beak and casually tapped it on top of the blood crystal.

Just then, there was a crisp crack. The blood crystal, which Jiang Yun had tried his hardest to crush but couldn't, was bitten off by the Firebird with a chunk missing.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was dumbfounded.

He finally knew why, despite only having the cultivation base of a Dao Spirit Realm, this Firebird possessed such immense confidence.

Its mouth, simply the sharpest weapon in the world, even Jiang Yun thought, perhaps only a Dao artifact could rival its mouth!

And this is probably only one aspect of its strength!

"Luckily, I have a way to subdue this firebird!"

After this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Yun watched as the firebird bit down on that small piece of blood crystal and crunched it between its teeth. Then, with force, it swallowed it whole.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh! So bloody. Disgusting!"

As the firebird opened its mouth, Jiang Yun finally smelled a faint metallic scent. This allowed him to confirm it completely!

Even knowing it was a blood crystal, it wouldn't be of much use. After all, the blood of a demonic beast with Dao nature wouldn't help me in any way.

Gingercloud looked again at the blood crystal in her hand, her fingers lightly tracing the chipped corner where the firebird had bitten it.

However, at that very moment, a piercingly sharp force suddenly emanated from the broken part of the blood crystal. It was like a needle, directly piercing through Jiang Yun's finger.

As a drop of blood flowed from Jiang Yun's fingertips and landed on the blood crystal, a strange sight occurred!

This piece of blood crystal, which even Ginger Cloud couldn't crush with all his might, actually began to melt in front of Ginger Cloud. And it melted along the wound on the tip of Ginger Cloud's finger and directly drilled into it!

This sudden change caused Jiang Yun's face to contort. After all, he didn't know what effect this blood crystal merging with his body would have, so instinctively, he wanted to seal his meridians.

However, before he could even begin to act, the blood surging within him, even the crimson boundary sea in his dantian, suddenly began to boil wildly!
