Chapter 96
...I sneaked in there and fed Eve three pills, but she was still dead."
"You idiot! The Snow Flower Core Crystal is for living women. It's useless for a dead person. I know you still have one left. Give it to my grandson!"
"Alas! I just had that extravagant wish in my heart. When I looked at Eve, I would always think of my tragically dead wife. I thought that if Eve were alive, I could also..."
"Stop!" Yun Zhou raised his hand to silence him. "Don't talk about wives. They're all old women, with white hair, wrinkled faces, and uneven teeth. What's there to think about? There's a beautiful girl waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. This Snow Flower Crystal is perfect for her."
"What?" Feng Lingtian was shocked! He almost broke out of his dormant state and collected the elemental power back.
"Calm down, calm down..." Yun Zhou reached out and patted his shoulder, "It seems that you, Old Feng, are not completely indifferent to women!"
Feng Lingtian finally calmed down, "Are there really still women in this world?"
Yun Zhou laughed and said, "Not only is there a woman, but she's also quite beautiful and sexy. What a pity! There's no hope for the two of us. Look at how happy I am, even getting a beautiful woman in my hand."
Cang Ran was standing there, extremely anxious. When would this end? He reached out to push Yun Zhou away, but his hand only touched the air. "Ah, aah, aah! Grandpa, stop talking. Let's get down to business."
Feng Lingtian said: "Your grandson can't wait."
Yun Zhou said, "Young people are always impatient and can't stand it at all." He then added, "Hurry up and take out the flower crystal."
"Let him get it himself! It's in a small box in the bottom drawer of the bamboo cabinet." Feng Lingtian said.
Yun Zhou repeated Feng Lingtian's words to Cang Ran, and Cang Ran quickly got a bean-sized, crystal-clear, pure white, delicate lotus-shaped crystal. The crystal had a faint fragrance of snowy flowers. Cang Ran excitedly put the crystal in his pocket and said, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, thank you, Grandpa!" After that, he ran down the mountain like a flying bird.
Yun Zhou and Feng Lingtian began a hours-long reminiscence about the beauty. After a long while, Feng Lingtian suddenly seemed to remember something: "It's over."
"What's over?" Yun Zhou asked in confusion.
"I forgot something important."
"What's up?"
"It's too late."
"Fuck! Old man Feng, stop talking like you're squeezing toothpaste. Can you finish your sentence in one go?"
"I added some ingredients to the Snow Flower Crystal Core, but time has passed and I've forgotten about it."
"What's the material?"
Feng Lingtian had just said this when he heard a roar from inside the bamboo house: "You damn Phoenix!"
…
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the pale gray moonlight filtered through the gauze window, casting spots of light.
Xia Lingjun was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, when Cang Ran came down the mountain and handed her a crystal as if it were a treasure. It was a rare snow flower core crystal in the world. Although it was rare, no one tried to get it. But even if you wanted to get it, you couldn't get it. The highest temperature in the snowy area was only one thousand degrees below zero, and most people would freeze into popsicles before they even reached there.
There were no women in this world, so who would want to die? Therefore, this crystal became a mere decoration. If a man swallowed this crystal, his evolution would cease, and he would become hermaphroditic. On the other hand, for a woman, swallowing this crystal would not only preserve her beauty but also instantly upgrade her. If this snow flower core crystal existed before the apocalypse, women would likely not have perished.
Of course, no one knows what happens if women eat snow flower crystals. Since there have never been women, there's no real research data. Authorities once cultivated snow flower crystals and tested them on men. Without exception, all the men became androgynous. Later, they tested female animals, and the females, which had never evolved, suddenly evolved into birds. This, it must be said, was a huge advancement for science.
Holy crap...females can actually evolve? That's incredible! Unfortunately, these crystals are so rare that this scientific research achievement was aborted after achieving initial progress.
Because the cost of making the Snow Crystal Flower is too high, and the results are only for females, if female animals can be mutated into female humans, the authorities will surely be willing to spend a huge amount of money to do it, but if it only helps female animals upgrade, what is the point, so the Snow Flower Core Crystal has gradually been forgotten.
In order to prevent people from seeking death again, the authorities of the Haotian Empire announced the results of scientific research: the snow flower core crystal is extremely cold and only useful for women, so men don't have to seek death.
The reason why the authorities did not mention that the Snow Flower Core Crystal can make female animals evolve is entirely to avoid disrupting the current ecological balance. Imagine if all female animals evolved into birds, and were then used by people with ulterior motives, and combined with mutant males, who knows what new special species would be created. If it threatens mutant humans, it would be even worse. Anyway, female humans are already extinct, so this result is equivalent to no result, which is the best result.
In other words, Feng Lingtian was unwilling to give up. He got four of them back and was hoping for a miracle to happen and bring Eve back to life. However, the result was predictable. She was dead, and especially a woman who had been dead for so long could not be revived no matter how hard he tried.
Even if he is at level nine and eighth stage, he still can't save the dead.
Xia Lingjun sat upright, feeling the various elemental forces between heaven and earth. She could even clearly feel that various elemental forces that she had never experienced before were slowly entering her body. The powerful mental power and the elemental force interacted with each other, and the two were tightly intertwined and blended. Her mind was white, like a piece of pure white paper, on which the most magnificent blueprint was about to be drawn.
Gradually, a streak of red appeared on the white. It was the fire element, followed by the blue water element, then gold, earth, and wood, and then extending to wind, thunder, light, and darkness. The first five elements were very common. As a seventh-level mind controller, she already possessed them. As for the last four elements, she also possessed two of them, wind and thunder, and only the light and darkness elements, which she had never experienced. It was a powerful elemental force, and this elemental force was like the rolling waves, slowly fluctuating along with her mental power. Suddenly, a colorful barrier enveloped her whole body, and the barrier merged into the air, and then turned gray, and the gray gradually turned white. Xia Lingjun could feel that her mental power and elemental power had reached a resonance, and the two complemented each other, and the air currents converged.
Xia Lingjun closed her eyes tightly, and slowly the barrier around her body turned pure white like snow. She looked like a fairy in the mist, white and transparent, clean and bright.
Just as she felt the elemental and spiritual energies flowing freely and harmoniously within her, a flame suddenly erupted from her abdomen, burning her to a crisp. Just as she was about to use the water element to cool herself down, she was devastated! The burning sensation in her abdomen was gone. Not only that, but she felt a chill rising from her abdomen, radiating to her heart and lungs, nearly turning her into a sizzling beauty.
She opened her lips slightly, exhaling wisps of white smoke. Her heart tightened, numb! What was going on? Gently turning her wrist, she entered the portable space. Perhaps the spiritual energy in the portable space could allow her to complete her evolution.
"Ah, wu..." Tuanzi rolled in when he saw Xia Lingjun rolling around. "Master sister, why are you doing this?" Tuanzi stretched out his little furry claws and looked around. "Oh my god! You're freezing to death!"
"Aa ...
"Ah! I'm dying of heat." Xia Lingjun was covered in huge beads of sweat. The alternation of cold and heat made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She got up and jumped into the lake. "Puff... so cool!"
She stopped activating all elemental powers, and immediately felt much better. Not too hot, not too cold. Damn! What the hell was that Snow Flower Crystal? It had made it so she couldn't even use her elemental powers. Unwilling to give up, she slowly began to activate them. Puff... It was cold again.
After such repeated torture, Xia Lingjun gave up on using all elemental powers. She lay in the lake, looking up at the sky. It was blue and white, clear! But her heart was not at all clear.
Raising her eyebrows, she looked at Lan Huoer. Perhaps since she couldn't use elemental power, she could try her mental power. As expected, Lan Huoer was under her control. It seemed that her mental power was not lost. She was feeling proud, but "Ah--" she screamed, holding her head with both hands and pounding it. Her head hurt so much, and Lan Huoer rolled on the ground in pain.
"Aiya——" Lan Huo'er cried hoarsely, "Master, what are you doing? It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
Xia Lingjun quickly drew out her mental power. Her headache went away. Pfft… She wanted to yell, “Alright! Alpaca next door! Woohoo…” Both her elemental and mental powers were useless. It hurt when she moved. Even though she was a Level 7 Mind Control Master, was there any other mind control master this miserable? Using them would torture her to death. Pfft…
"Ah, wu..." Tuanzi wrinkled his snow-white furry face, rolled into the lake with his little beard bared, and swam to Xia Lingjun's side. "Master sister, what's wrong with you? Look at your little face, it's so pale."
Lan Huo'er quickly stood up from the ground. Damn! The pain was finally gone. He flapped his wings and flew over Xia Lingjun's head. "Aiya—" "Master, what just happened? Why does my head hurt so much?"
Xia Lingjun's face was pale and she looked very dejected. She reached out and touched Tuanzi's head, and didn't say anything for a long time, which made Tuanzi and Lan Huoer's hearts break.
After a long while, Xia Lingjun finally spoke, "Tuanzi, Lan Huoer, I'm done for."
"What's wrong?" the bird and the beast asked at the same time
