Chapter 351 353 Strategic Control Resources

Although she had never seen a spirit stone in her previous life, she had heard others mention that spirit stones contained spiritual energy. Practitioners could communicate with the spirit stone through their own spiritual energy and draw the spiritual energy from the spirit stone to assist in their practice. It was rumored that the research institute believed that spiritual energy was also a type of energy, and that the spiritual energy that filled the world could not be collected, so they planned to extract the spiritual energy from the spirit stone for research, in an attempt to create new energy weapons such as spiritual energy bombs and spiritual energy cannons.

Therefore, once the Lingshi was discovered, it was listed as a strategically controlled resource by the government.

The "spiritual stones" she picked up from the black hole explosion outside the small secret realm and the "spiritual stones" mixed in the strange ores in the Pingyuan Mountain mining area may not be real spiritual stones. Although those two kinds of "spiritual stones" can be used to upgrade the foggy space, they cannot be absorbed and used by practitioners at all.

But she had a hunch that these two things seemed to be more rare than spirit stones.

There are still many special ores collected in the plains and mountains, but there are only two spiritual crystals left from the black hole explosion.

At this moment, Rong Xianxian didn't know that the existence of such a heaven-defying existence as the Domain Stone was formed under extremely accidental circumstances, and its growth cycle was measured in tens of thousands of years. When the Domain Stone was discovered and targeted by the black hole in its original form, it was supposed to become the black hole's food. However, the Domain Stone was brought into the small secret realm by Rong Xianxian. When the two sides were fighting, the black hole continued to devour the spiritual energy in the secret realm, which alarmed the guardian of the small secret realm. The black hole would have exploded, and the Domain Stone would have been shattered to pieces. It happened that Rong Xianxian sprayed a mouthful of blood on the Domain Stone. At the moment of life and death, the foggy space of the Domain Stone opened and accepted the contract.

Most of the spiritual energy crystals ejected by the black hole explosion remained in the small secret realm, a small part was swallowed by the domain stone and became energy for opening the space, and only a dozen or so were picked up by Rong Xianxian.

Spirit crystals cannot be put into the foggy space, otherwise they will be swallowed by the space. Rong Xianxian put the spirit crystal in a jade bottle and put it into the foggy space for an experiment to see if the spirit crystal would disappear. As a result, when she went to see it the next day, she found that the spirit crystal had not changed, so she did not move it again, and she did not check it again later. The spirit crystal swallowed by Rong Xianxian was the one used for the experiment. Compared with when it was just put in, the spirit crystal at this time was only one-third of its original size, not much bigger than a pill, and the energy inside was only one-tenth of it. Fortunately, it was this kind of spirit crystal that had been almost drained by the domain stone foggy space, otherwise, even if it had withstood the invasion of extreme cold, it would have been difficult to escape the explosion of the spirit crystal.

"Sister Rong, Sister Rong." It seemed like someone was calling her loudly.

"Why are you talking so loudly? Sit down. Can't you see Sister Rong is thinking about something?" Cui Lie frowned and scolded.

"Uh, sorry, Alin, what were you going to say? I was distracted just now." The excitement brought by the ice soul entering the body has passed. Rong Xianxian took a bath and had a meal. Now what is rising is the feeling of mental and physical fatigue. She was just concentrating on thinking about the problems of spirit stones and spirit crystals, and did not hear Wang Lin's several calls.

"Sister Rong, Feng Xingjia is in trouble. The captain of his previous team reported to the authorities that the things Feng Xingjia was selling were stolen from him. Now Feng Xingjia's stall has been closed. The authorities asked them to provide evidence to prove that these things are theirs. If they cannot provide evidence, their items will be confiscated." Wang Lin said angrily.

"Are Feng Xingjia and the others okay?" Rong Xianxian was not angry, but asked calmly.

"The people are fine, but they have no evidence. What right do they have to seal our stall? And we need to provide evidence? This thing can't speak. It belongs to whoever has it. How can we provide evidence?" Wang Lin was still full of anger.

"How can you have no evidence? Didn't someone report it?" Rong Xianxian asked with a smile.

"How can that be considered evidence? Can you believe the despicable villain's random accusations? I think it's the official people who want to embezzle our goods." Wang Lin snorted coldly.

"Sister Rong, what Wang Lin said makes sense. If we still want to continue to set up the stall and do business, we must take back this batch of goods. We can't afford this loss." Jiang Jie said.

"Of course the goods must be taken back, and the person who reported it must also be dealt with. The staff who supervise the market order should be the ones to seal the stalls. The official people in the security zone will not take that little bit of goods seriously." Rong Xianxian said.

"How to deal with it? After this incident, that guy will definitely not dare to be alone, and if something happens to him, we will definitely be suspected." Wang Lin said hesitantly.

"This problem is easy to solve. There are marks on the goods we sell, especially the weapons made by Brother Ming. The marks are engraved before the weapons are formed, so the problem of evidence is solved, right? Alin, I have prepared some gifts. You go visit Captain Ning and tell him about this matter. Ask him to help find someone to hold a public trial in the market. Anyone who dares to make false accusations or bend the law for personal gain will naturally be punished by the relevant systems in the safe zone. Why should we bother to take action?" Rong Xianxian said slowly.

During this period, the quality of the things Feng Xingjia collected was mixed, and there weren't many good things.

The supplies that Rong Xianxian had given to Feng Xingjia before were all standard and inconspicuous goods. Even with such a small amount of things, they actually attracted the covetousness of others. But it’s okay. The people on the big army were sent from the capital. As long as they make a move, they will definitely be powerful. I believe that after this incident, she can put some good things on Feng Xingjia’s stall, such as elixirs and talismans, weapons and food. Only if the things are good enough will someone be willing to take out their best treasures.

"Sister Rong, there will definitely be more people who want to join us after this incident. Should we continue to recruit people?" During this period, many people came to recommend themselves, and they are currently observing a few of them.

"According to the original standards, those who meet the requirements can be recruited after passing the assessment." Rong Xianxian said affirmatively.

"But if there are too many people, won't our supplies be tight?" Jiang Jie asked with some concern.

"The land is frozen and we can't continue our journey. But it's not like we can't hunt or go out to look for supplies. Are you still afraid of running out of food?" Cui Lie said, taking a bite of the skewer of meat in his hand.

Although what he said is true, hunting in winter is extremely dangerous, especially now that the environment outside is unclear. It is understood that most of the teams that went out during this period returned empty-handed and did not gain anything.

According to seasonal rules, a season lasts at least three or four months. It has just begun, and they cannot help but consider the future. Moreover, those recruited people do not all have clear vassal relationships. Some people do not leave their original teams. After arriving in the capital, will they deny their obligations and become disobedient?
