Chapter 94: Moon Crystal

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue searched the hall, hoping to find some valuable treasures or clues. However, apart from a few cushions and stone statues, there was nothing in the hall, and they were a little disappointed to see no trace of treasures.

Lu Xiuyuan stood in the center of the hall, staring at the cushions and statues in front of him, and fell into deep thought for a moment. Various possibilities emerged in his mind, trying to understand the meaning and purpose behind these furnishings.

"If I were the owner of this place, the cushions and statues would definitely be used for worship." Lu Xiuyuan gently brushed the surface of the cushions with his fingers, feeling the mysterious atmosphere it exuded. "Perhaps these cushions once carried the piety of their owners, praying for strength and wisdom."

Wen Lingyue listened to Lu Xiuyuan's analysis and nodded in agreement. "Yes, these cushions and statues do look very solemn and seem to be used for sacrifices and rituals."

The two of them continued to carefully observe every detail in the hall, trying to find some clues or hints. They understood that in such a mysterious place, there might be many unknown secrets and treasures hidden, and they needed careful observation and thinking to discover the mysteries.

Wen Lingyue suddenly thought of some legends about ancient caves. She said, "It is said that in some ancient caves, there are some hidden mechanisms or secret passages that can only be found by people who are familiar with the internal structure of the cave."

After hearing what Wen Lingyue said, Lu Xiuyuan frowned slightly, thinking about the possible mechanisms and secret passages in the ancient cave. They decided to search separately, hoping to find the secret inside the cave, perhaps in these seemingly ordinary cushions and statues.

Lu Xiuyuan thought deeply and realized that in such an ancient cave, the hidden treasures might be closely related to the owner's intentions. He realized that if he were the owner, he would choose to test the visitor's character and piety, and this cushion might be a way of testing.

"I think this cushion may be a key point in the trial." Lu Xiuyuan suddenly said, "If we can practice on this cushion, we may gain something."

Wen Lingyue listened to Lu Xiuyuan's advice and walked to the futon without hesitation and sat down. Closing her eyes, she began to gather the spiritual power in her body and immersed her mind in cultivation. As time went by, she could feel that the spiritual energy around her seemed to become more dense, full of vitality and energy.

Wen Lingyue's state of mind became calmer and calmer, as if she had merged into the spiritual energy around her. With every breath, she seemed to be able to absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, improving her cultivation.

Lu Xiuyuan stood quietly by, watching Wen Lingyue's practice. He could feel the changes in the surrounding environment, and it seemed that the spiritual energy in the cave became more active because of Wen Lingyue's practice.

After a period of practice, Wen Lingyue finally slowly opened her eyes. She felt her body was full of strength and vitality, and her mood became brighter.

"This cushion is indeed different." Wen Lingyue said to Lu Xiuyuan with a smile, "Practicing on it feels so comfortable. Not only does it help me gain spiritual power, but it also makes my mind clearer."

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He carefully looked at the material of the futon and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He gently brushed the futon and felt its smooth and delicate texture. Then he noticed the faint luster in it.

"The material of this futon..." Lu Xiuyuan suddenly frowned, "It's not ordinary bamboo, but the legendary Xiangfei Yuzhu."

Wen Lingyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she showed a look of surprise. She had heard the legend of Xiang Fei Yuzhu, and knew that it was formed by bamboo in the Xiangjiang River being stained with Xiang Fei's tears. Such materials are extremely precious and have extremely high spirituality and mysterious power.

"Xiang Fei Yuzhu..." Wen Lingyue muttered softly, with a feeling of awe in her heart.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned. He guessed that the owner of this cave must be a person of extraordinary status. To be able to have such precious materials to make a cushion, he must have an extraordinary background and cultivation.

"Lingyue, you have received a favor from the owner of this place. Thank him in person." Lu Xiuyuan suddenly said.

Wen Lingyue's heart was moved when she heard this. She knew that this was a rare opportunity to express her respect and gratitude to this ancient master. She knelt on the mat without hesitation and bowed deeply to the statue in the center of the hall.

"Thank you for your kindness in giving me the opportunity to practice here." Wen Lingyue's voice was clear and pleasant, full of sincerity and gratitude.

Lu Xiuyuan watched quietly, and after seeing Wen Lingyue bowing devoutly to the statue to express his gratitude, he was stunned by the scene before him. The stone statues seemed to have life, emitting a soft light, right where Wen Lingyue was.

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light shot out from one of the stone statues, pointing directly at the cushion where Wen Lingyue was kneeling. Lu Xiuyuan's heart moved, and he immediately realized that there must be something fishy going on.

The light penetrated the futon, and in an instant, the seemingly ordinary futon was instantly transformed into a ball of smoke. In the midst of the smoke, the true form of the futon was revealed.

In the center of the futon, a dazzling substance appeared, emitting a dazzling white light. Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue's eyes lit up, and an indescribable feeling of amazement surged in their hearts.

This material has a strange shape, like a crystal clear gem, flashing white light, as if it contains endless power. Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue's eyes were attracted, they stared at the gem, as if they saw an unknown world, their hearts surged with endless curiosity and expectation.

"This is..." Lu Xiuyuan's voice trembled a little. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, with an irrepressible excitement welling up in his heart.

Wen Lingyue was also pleasantly surprised. She stared at the gem, feeling the power contained in it, her heart filled with joy and anticipation. The energy emanating from the gem made her feel unprecedentedly uplifted and excited.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue reached out their hands in tacit understanding and gently touched the gem, as if they wanted to establish a wonderful connection with it. At this moment, their hearts seemed to be touched by the gem, and they were deeply immersed in the exploration of the unknown world.

When the dazzling white light gradually faded, the gem showed its original appearance. It was a crystal clear white crystal with a surface as smooth as a mirror, as if the whole crystal was filled with sunlight, emitting amazing brilliance.

In the center of the crystal, there is a round, crystal clear moonstone, which emits a soft moonlight, just like a bright moon. The light emitted by this moonstone not only illuminates the surrounding space, but also gives people a mysterious and peaceful feeling.

Wen Lingyue opened her mouth in surprise, staring at the scene in front of her in amazement. She could hardly believe her eyes, because the crystal in front of her was none other than the legendary Moon Crystal!

"Could it be... could it be that this is really the Moon Crystal?" Wen Lingyue's voice was trembling, her eyes were full of surprise and excitement. The Moon Crystal was known as a top-grade gemstone in legends, a treasure that practitioners dreamed of, which could improve their cultivation and increase their spiritual power. Some even said that it could be used to refine top-grade magic weapons.

Lu Xiuyuan was also shocked by the scene before him, and his heart was filled with endless amazement and excitement. He had never thought that he would find such a precious treasure in this ancient cave. The appearance of the Moon Crystal was undoubtedly a huge surprise and a supreme honor.

They stared at the Moon Crystal in front of them, their hearts full of expectations and visions for the future. The appearance of this gem will change their fate and start a new journey. In the secret realm of this ancient cave, they will face more challenges and tests, but they will also gain more opportunities and gains.

"We actually found the Moon Crystal!" Lu Xiuyuan said excitedly, his voice full of joy and excitement. "This is an amazing thing, we must cherish this opportunity."

Wen Lingyue also nodded excitedly, her eyes full of longing and expectation. "Yes, the Moon Crystal is a legendary treasure. We must make good use of it to improve our cultivation and reach a higher level."

The Moon Crystal, with its infinite Moon Power, is like a legendary artifact in the Mingyue Palace, and is known as a precious treasure. For cultivators like Wen Lingyue who practice the Moon Power, it is a vital auxiliary equipment. This crystal clear gem can not only enhance the Moon Power of cultivators, but also help them absorb spiritual energy faster and improve their cultivation. It is a treasure that cultivators dream of.

Lu Xiuyuan deeply regretted not coming to the Moon Crystal Stone first. He realized that this was a mistake. He rushed to another cushion and knelt down devoutly, hoping to get the recognition and blessing of the Moon Crystal Stone.

Just as he was kneeling, the stone statue in front of him suddenly made a strange movement. A deep red light emanated from around the stone statue, like an angry flame, condensing into a powerful energy.

"Your mind and motives are not pure. You are not out of piety, but you are after my treasure!" A deep and majestic voice resounded through the hall and reached the ears of Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue. The voice revealed a strong anger and dissatisfaction, as if accusing the two of disrespect and greed.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue both felt a strong pressure, as if the entire hall was shaking. They were terrified, realizing that their actions had caused the anger of the Moon Crystal Stone and brought about unpredictable consequences.

Suddenly, a red light burst out, and a huge energy shock rushed towards Lu Xiuyuan. He was instantly knocked away, and his body streaked across the hall like a meteor, finally hitting the wall hard and falling to the ground in pain.

Lu Xiuyuan rubbed his sore back and muttered, "Why are you so bad-tempered? If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. What's the matter with you yelling at me?" He looked at his miserable appearance, shook his head helplessly, and then took great effort to tidy up his torn clothes.

Wen Lingyue, who was standing next to him, looked at Lu Xiuyuan's embarrassed look and couldn't help laughing so hard that her waist almost bent. She held her stomach and laughed until tears came out.

"The attempt to steal a chicken ends up with a loss of the rice!" Wen Lingyue said while laughing, "Hahahahahaha, it's so funny." She found this scene so funny that she could hardly suppress the joy in her heart.

After laughing, Wen Lingyue restrained her smile and regained her solemn expression. She bowed reverently to the stone statue in front of the hall to express her gratitude: "Thank you for giving me the treasure." Her voice was solemn and awed. She was grateful for this unexpected gain, and she also realized that she should be more cautious and respectful of these ancient heritages.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head, saying with a wry smile: "You are a kind-hearted person, but I am not. I deserve to be kicked out." He felt a little regretful about his behavior, but he was also grateful for Wen Lingyue's kindness.

After hearing what Lu Xiuyuan said, Wen Lingyue walked up to him, smiling and comforting him: "What are you talking about? I can get such a treasure thanks to your help. There are so many treasures here, there must be an opportunity for you." Her voice was gentle and sincere, and her eyes revealed gratitude to Lu Xiuyuan.

After hearing what Wen Lingyue said, Lu Xiuyuan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, then we have to hurry, or I will be kicked out again." He deliberately pretended to be panicked, trying to make Wen Lingyue laugh and make the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.

Lu Xiuyuan sorted out his clothes and repaired the clothes that were damaged when the red light blasted out. His mood gradually calmed down and he was ready to re-enter the exploration. He walked into the hall with Wen Lingyue. They bowed respectfully to the stone statue to express their gratitude and respect, and then turned to the side door of the hall.

They thought the side door was the exit to the outside, but when they opened it, they saw a long secret passage. The secret passage was dark and ancient, exuding a cold atmosphere, and seemed to lead to the unknown depths.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue looked at each other, feeling somewhat hesitant. Where did this secret passage lead to? What secrets were hidden in it? They couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but at the same time they were full of curiosity and the desire to explore.

Wen Lingyue held Lu Xiuyuan's hand tightly, indicating that they wanted to move forward together. Her eyes revealed determination and courage, as if telling Lu Xiuyuan that no matter how big the challenges and unknowns were ahead, they would face them bravely.

Lu Xiuyuan also felt Wen Lingyue's determination, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of determination and courage. He held Wen Lingyue's hand tightly and nodded silently, indicating that he agreed to move forward.

The two encouraged each other and set foot on the secret passage. It was pitch black inside the secret passage, and they could only move forward relying on the weak light. They walked carefully, always keeping alert and ready to face possible dangers at any time.
