Besides the mysterious mask, Li Yu also noticed some other strange objects placed in the squares on both sides.
The items here come in all shapes and sizes, but they all exude an air of vicissitude. Each item seems to bear the marks of time, and even just from their design, one can feel the rustic charm of these things.
However, in Li Yu's view, these ancient things did not contain any energy fluctuations, so these old antiques were of little value to him, and were not even as practical as crystal cores.
As Mo Xuanji returned to the forbidden area of the Mo family at the end of the corridor, a dreamlike feeling welled up inside him.
If he weren't actually holding his granddaughter's little hand in his own, he would feel like he was still dreaming.
Mo Xuanji slowly walked to the futon and squatted down, feeling around under the futon for a while.
Immediately afterwards, a slight rubbing sound was heard, and a hidden compartment was revealed under the futon.
Mo Xuanji reached inside and took out a box from the hidden compartment.
The box is entirely red, covered with intricate dark red patterns.
When Li Yu saw the box, her eyes lit up instantly.
Even without opening it, he could clearly feel that energy was continuously emanating from inside the box.
This energy fluctuation is far superior to anything those old relics on either side of the corridor could have achieved.
Mo Xuanji held the box steadily, turned around and handed it to Li Yu, saying solemnly:
"This item is a rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Mo family heads. Although it is not a supreme treasure, it is definitely a rare and precious item."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu excitedly opened the box.
In an instant, a dazzling crimson light burst forth from the box.
As the light gradually dimmed, Li Yu was able to see clearly that inside the box was a blood-red, crystal-clear core.
At first glance, this crystal core looks quite similar to the crystal core of a mythical beast, but upon closer inspection, one can find obvious differences between the two.
Even Li Linglong, who was standing to the side, sensed a strange aura and couldn't help but lean over to take a look out of curiosity.
Although she had a familiar feeling about the energy in the crystal core, she had never seen this blood-red crystal core before.
At this moment, a faint red light flashed in the depths of Mo Xuanji's eyes, disappearing in an instant, before he continued:
"This is a strange object found inside the corpse variant after the death of the fifth generation head of the Mo family. We call it the 'Blood Corpse Crystal Core'."
"Although it looks almost identical to the crystal cores of common mythical beasts in terms of appearance and the energy it contains, our Mo family has never had a corpse variant that could give birth to such a unique crystal core in all its history."
"That is why this item is extremely rare and precious. It has been preserved by successive family heads to this day and has never been used by anyone."
At this moment, Mo Xuanji, with his eyes half-open, looked at Li Yu and said very calmly:
"If Commander Li Yu likes it, he can take it. If he doesn't, he can choose from the other treasures in the forbidden area."
Li Yu didn't say anything upon hearing this. He reached out and took the red crystal core in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
The crystal core was bright red, like blood, and emitted a striking light.
As Li Yu stared at the crystal core, his eyes gradually reflected a red light and shadow, making the whole scene look rather eerie.
“Blood Corpse Crystal Core…” Li Yu murmured.
He was indeed able to clearly perceive the energy within the crystal core.
But for some reason, a sense of vigilance from the depths of his subconscious kept reminding him that using the cyclone to absorb the energy here was an extremely dangerous act.
However, it is precisely this sense of danger that proves the extraordinary nature of this crystal core.
"This is it!"
With that, Li Yu put the blood corpse crystal core back into the box and put it away.
Mo Xuanji, standing to the side, watched Li Yu accept the crystal core with deep eyes, his weathered face showing no surprise whatsoever.
He knew the value of this Blood Corpse Crystal Core, and he was also convinced that Li Yu would also be able to see its worth.
Although Mo Xuanji felt a pang of reluctance, she was filled with a strange sense of anticipation.
Blood Corpse Crystal Cores are even rarer than the foreign objects inside alien beasts, and they have a huge connection with the Mo family's special abilities, which is why successive family heads have valued them so much.
So much so that every generation of the Mo family head said that the Mo family should not reveal its existence to the world unless absolutely necessary.
But now, it's more like a key, a key that can unlock a new future for the Mohist school.
A voice seemed to be telling Mo Xuanji that now was the time.
The Mohist school has survived a great calamity, and now, under the strict control of Zhongzhou, it has almost lost the power to control the corpse variants.
The Mohists are almost forgetting about their supernatural abilities, so leaving behind the Blood Corpse Crystal Cores is pointless.
It would be better to hand over the Blood Corpse Crystal Core to Li Yu. On the one hand, it would be a way to repay Li Yu with a generous reward. On the other hand, it might bring a turning point to the Mo family in the dark.
Mo Xuanji was undoubtedly a smart man. After calming down from the excitement of finding his granddaughter, he immediately returned to the mindset of the head of the family. He began to plan every step of the Mo family's future development for Li Linglong.
He was well aware that Linglong's smooth rise to the position of the new family head, with the support of the Inspector, was entirely due to her special relationship with Li Yu.
If even the Inspector General can make a change, why can't he?
Thinking of this, Mo Xuanji couldn't help but ponder it in his heart.
Today, the Mohists are like caged birds, with numerous restrictions making their development extremely difficult.
If they can seize the opportunity, the Mohist school might actually be able to completely reverse their current predicament.
Therefore, he knew he had to leverage the close connection between Li Yu and Linglong to deeply bind the Mohist school to Li Yu, and then use Li Yu's influence in Zhongzhou to demonstrate the Mohist school's value and loyalty to the Zhongzhou government.
If everything goes smoothly, it might transform the Mohist school from a strictly monitored force into a trusted and powerful ally of the Central Plains.
In this way, the Mohist school may not only gradually regain some control over the corpse variants, but may even successfully integrate into the Central State department by leveraging its supernatural abilities, thus gaining a place in the vast system of the Central State.
At this moment, Mo Xuanji's gaze seemed to have penetrating power, piercing straight through the stone wall in front of him and looking into the unknown depths in the distance.
He knew very well that only when the Mohists truly reached that level would they have enough strength and confidence to uncover the truth behind the manipulation and extermination of the Mohists.
The key to all of this lies in how to maintain the relationship between the Mohist school and Li Yu.
When Li Yu and the other two stepped out of the forbidden area, it was already dark.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Xuanji immediately said without any delay:
"I have also prepared some supplies for Commander Li's needs on the road."
