Chapter 93 Plan Failure
With Xie Mingzhu's guidance, the spirit crystal that was buried deep was soon found.
This is a piece of attributeless spiritual crystal, which is considered to be of extremely high quality among spiritual crystals.
Si Yu tried twice and successfully carved a timed trap on the spirit crystal.
He set the trap to be triggered after one hour, and then led his subordinates and Xie Mingzhu to activate the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal, and found a cave where a monster was hiding, pretending to search for treasure inside.
They pretended very well and acted as if they had killed the monster with great difficulty, and then Si Yu "extremely excitedly" dug out the spirit crystal on the spot, and everyone's faces immediately showed their joy of finding a treasure.
After confirming that the spiritual energy of the spirit crystal had dissipated without any mercy, Si Yu and his companions instantly tensed their bodies, waiting for those masked monks to come and snatch the treasure.
Just one second, two seconds...more than ten breaths of time passed, and the cave was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Si Yu felt strange, but was afraid that Xie Liuyin was lurking nearby, so he held up the spirit crystal and exclaimed loudly: "What a great five-element spirit crystal! We actually found such a pure five-element spirit crystal, this is simply a great thing."
After saying this, Si Yu did not forget to wink at several of his subordinates.
These demon cultivators were not stupid either. They immediately understood what the young sect leader meant and began to praise the spirit crystal for its uniqueness and magic.
Even Xie Mingzhu interrupted and praised them when she saw this, hoping to quickly attract Xie Liuyin and the others to snatch the spirit crystal away.
But no matter how loudly they spoke or how exaggerated their expressions of surprise were, no one came into the cave, and no immobilization formation fell on them.
After waiting for a long time, Si Yu was finally disappointed.
He guessed that the group of masked monks might not dare to come again, and immediately threw the spirit crystal aside in boredom and anger.
"Young Master, it seems that group of people will not show up today." Yi Xing looked at Si Yu's face and stood up to ask, "Then do we still have to continue this drama?"
"What are we performing for? No one is here, who are we performing for?" Si Yu said unhappily.
He originally thought that his plan was foolproof, but he never expected that this group of people would simply not come.
The Juelan Secret Realm is so big that he doesn’t even know the other party’s appearance and identity. He may not be able to meet them in the secret realm. After leaving the secret realm, it will be even more difficult to find their trace again!
Thinking of this, Si Yu felt his stomach bloating - it was all because of anger!
"Then Young Sect Master, what should we do next?" another demon cultivator asked from the left.
Seeing Si Yu in a low mood, Xie Mingzhu was not happy that the plan had failed, but she still stepped forward to play the role of Jie Yuhua at the right time:
"It doesn't matter if the plan fails. Wouldn't it be better if they don't follow us? In this way, we can search for treasures in the secret realm and take away all the good things inside!"
"What those masked thieves got were only two of the most insignificant resources in the secret realm. We will look for other ones later. The previous losses will surely be made up soon."
Xie Mingzhu was really good at saying nice things, and with her gentle coaxing, Si Yu's face went from being ashen at the beginning to gradually turning rosy.
He raised his head and looked at Xie Mingzhu lovingly, and said softly: "Fortunately, Mingzhu, you are here, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Xie Mingzhu wrinkled her nose slightly at Si Yu, and her playful and cute look made Si Yu smile knowingly.
Finally regaining some spirit, Si Yu was no longer depressed: "Mingzhu, can you still sense any treasures nearby?"
"I just heard you talk about the Five Elements Spirit Crystal. I know there is a place where there is really a piece of Fire Spirit Crystal hidden." Xie Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she remembered something.
Fire spirit crystal is different from this kind of attributeless spirit crystal. The latter is just a spirit stone condensed from the spirit stone mine and is slightly better than the top-grade spirit stone.
But the former was born from an entire fire-attributed mineral vein, and is a crystal stone that condenses huge spiritual energy.
There are few spirit stone mines with pure properties in the world of cultivation, and this kind of spirit crystal can only be produced in high-quality pure-attribute ore veins.
This makes the Five Elements Spirit Crystal even more rare, making it a treasure sought after by everyone in the world of cultivation.
The fire spirit crystal that Xie Mingzhu mentioned is hidden under a lava spring in the west of the secret realm.
Originally there was a top-grade spirit stone vein hidden there, but over time it slowly produced extremely high-quality fire spirit crystals, and the spiritual energy of the entire vein was eventually sucked dry.
After the Fire Spirit Crystal was born, that area gradually turned into the lava spring it is today.
However, such a dangerous place is nothing to a foundation-building cultivator.
What's more, with the quality of the robes Si Yu was wearing, even if he didn't use spiritual energy to protect his body, he wouldn't suffer any damage if he jumped directly into the lava spring.
Xie Mingzhu knew this, so she took the initiative to tell him about the Fire Spirit Crystal.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Si Yu and the others' eyes lit up. It was obvious that they also became interested in this extremely rare Fire Spirit Crystal.
After finding out that the lava spring was not far from here, the group immediately took action and ran towards their desired destination.
However, before leaving, Yi Xing asked Si Yu whether he wanted to take the spirit crystal engraved with the trap array with him.
But when Si Yu saw the spirit crystal, he would remember that he had prepared for so long but got nothing.
He was so angry that he didn't even want to look at the spirit crystal again, let alone take it with him.
"Just leave it here. I have plenty of spiritual crystals in my treasure house." Si Yu said disdainfully.
After saying this, the few of them simply walked out of the cave.
About a quarter of an hour after they left, when they were sure that the group would not return temporarily to make a surprise attack, Xie Liuyin and his companions finally appeared near the cave.
Xie Liuyin had long since set her eyes on the spiritual crystal that Si Yu was holding. Although the distance was a bit far and she couldn't sense what it was, the Mo Que sword she had hidden in her space treasure was not stupid.
This man had once followed their founder and had seen many good things.
The sword spirit could tell at a glance whether what Si Yu was holding was the Five Elements Spirit Crystal.
In addition, Si Yu and his group's performance was too deliberate. How could Xie Liuyin, who had been on guard against them, be fooled?
However, she also hid in the dark and saw Si Yu throwing away the spirit crystal. Now she was curious about what was on the spirit crystal. That's why Xie Liuyin came to pick up the trash.
After taking this look, Xie Liuyin immediately found the timed trap array on the spirit crystal!
I have to say that this Si Yu is quite capable, at least he is really good at carving formations.
Holding this unique spirit crystal, Xie Liuyin immediately had other ideas in his mind.
"Let's go, let's catch up with them now! I think Xie Mingzhu will definitely take them to dig for big treasures this time to boost morale!"
Xie Liuyin silently put away the spirit crystal, turned around and led people to chase Si Yu.
