A 00-year-old man meets online love in person. I am really a post-XNUMXs

Everyone listened intently. Although this knowledge wasn't the most crucial element in the world of cultivators, it proved quite fascinating while exploring this mysterious place.

Su Qingluan continued, "As for metamorphic rocks, they are existing rocks that have undergone metamorphism under high temperature, high pressure, or chemical action. For example, marble may have originally been limestone. After being affected by high temperature and high pressure inside the earth's crust, its internal structure changed, and it became the marble we see now, with its beautiful texture and feel."

Yun Feifei nodded. "Therefore, the formation of rocks and the formation of plants are two different things. It's impossible for a rock to have wood properties!"

After listening attentively to Su Qingluan's explanation, Yu Jiaoying said, "But when we tested it, we did find that it contained components of rock. Rocks are mainly composed of minerals, including silicates, oxides, carbonates, sulfides, etc. The most common rock component is silicate, which makes up most of the Earth's crust. And it also contains hydrochlorides, oxides, and so on. Do you think something like this can't be considered a rock?"

Su Qingluan nodded. As a top student, she knew very well, "Yes, that's indeed how rocks are composed!"

Yun Feifei pondered, "Could this thing be similar to amber? Is it some kind of plant material embedded in a stone?"

Yu Jiaoying shook her head again. "Although we don't understand science, we have spiritual power! I can use my spiritual power to explore its internal structure. I can tell you definitively that the rock and wood components of this stone are naturally formed and are definitely not artificially created or accidentally combined!"

Everyone, listen to this.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

What exactly is going on.

Are there stones in the world that grow out of the earth?
Yu Jiaoying continued, "This thing is extremely hard. We even had to use a Celestial-level weapon to successfully cut off a small piece, which took a lot of effort! When we tried to burn it with flames, we found that it really was like stone, it wouldn't burn! But when we used a kind of subterranean fire with a temperature of several thousand degrees, we found that it finally couldn't withstand it! Afterwards, we started to examine the ash. It not only contained rock components, but also wood components, but the wood component was very small, only about 20%! The majority was stone!"

Everyone was confused.

What the hell is this thing?
It's simply incomprehensible.

"The far north is truly wondrous! Not only is there the biting cold that requires constant use of internal energy to withstand, but there are also the formidable fighting power of the ice crystal bees, and now there are these strange ice crystal stones blocking the way—of course, I don't even know if they're stones or some kind of wood!" Yun Feifei complained. She shook her head helplessly, her heart filled with awe and frustration at this mysterious far north.

Xiao Qi said, "Since we can cut them, let's use immortal-level weapons to cut them all down, okay?" Xiao Qi's idea was simple and direct. In his opinion, as long as there were powerful enough weapons, the current obstacles could be overcome.

Lei Sha said, "Yes, Fei Fei has a lot of magical artifacts, and she should also have some immortal-level weapons. When the time comes, we'll get them and chop them all down!" Lei Sha agreed with Xiao Qi's idea, since powerful weapons often played a crucial role in their past adventures.

Yu Jiaoying shook her head and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said? Even if this black stone wood is a celestial-level weapon, it took us a lot of effort to cut it, and we only managed to cut off a small piece. But these ice crystal stones in front of us, it would take us hundreds of years to cut them!"

Yu Jiaoying frowned, knowing full well that the hardness of these ice crystals was extraordinary. A hint of worry crossed her eyes. In this dangerous place, every decision was crucial. Blindly using a Celestial-grade weapon to cut the ice crystals would not only waste a great deal of time and energy but could also trigger other unknown dangers.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tianchou said, "We can't act rashly. Since even immortal-level weapons are difficult to cut, we need to find other methods. Perhaps we can start with the patterns of these ice crystal stones or their energy properties, just like we used black stone wood to control the opening and closing of the ice crystal gaps before."

Su Qingluan nodded: "Senior Lin Tianchou is right. Let's take a closer look at these ice crystal stones and see if we can find any clues."

"How about I set them on fire and burn them?" Xiao Qi said with a hum.

Lei Sha said helplessly, "Is your flame more powerful than the Earth's core fire? Even your Qilin Ice Fire is far inferior to the Earth's core fire. It is a strange flame that exists only a few thousand meters underground in the Earth's core. Naturally, if we want to extract the flame from the Earth's core, human technology is completely incapable of doing so. But even for cultivators, it is extremely difficult to drill underground and obtain the Earth's core fire!"

Lin Tianchou nodded and said, "The fire from the Earth's core is indeed something difficult to obtain. To obtain it, one cannot blindly choose a place, drill underground, and try to get fire. One needs to use immense spiritual power to survey the underground, to see if the place is close to the Earth's core! If it's too far, then it won't be chosen! Moreover, as one gets closer to the Earth's core, the flesh and blood of ordinary cultivators cannot withstand that temperature! The Earth's core is an extremely dangerous world!"

Lin Tianchou continued, "Even I have never obtained the Earth's Core Fire!"

Yu Jiaoying nodded and said, "Yes, I know how precious the Earth Core Fire is, but I think that stone is just too strange. I was willing to use the Earth Core Fire to refine it, but do you know? Even with the Earth Core Fire, it took more than three months to refine this thing before it was reduced to ashes! For the first week, it didn't react at all when the Earth Core Fire was used to refine it! I thought it wouldn't work, but thankfully, we waited until the eighth day, and then the outer shell of this thing started to give way!"

"The fire from the earth's core has been burning for more than three months? My God, what kind of substance is this?!" Yun Feifei was truly speechless.

Although Yun Feifei is unaware of this yet.

Just how powerful is the Earth's Core Fire? But from Lei Sha's words, we know that the Earth's Core Fire is actually far, far more powerful than Xiao Qi's Qilin Ice and Fire.

This is enough to demonstrate just how incredibly powerful such flames are.

But even with such incredible flames, it still had little effect when facing this piece of black stone wood.
Such a composition of matter is truly intriguing; it is truly mysterious.

It's so mysterious it's frightening.

Su Qingluan, realizing something, asked Yu Jiaoying, "By the way, Senior Yu Jiaoying, since you've used your spiritual power to examine the inside of this stone and know many of its constituent materials, have you figured out its specific structure? Why is it so hard, impervious to fire and cutting! Even a celestial artifact is having trouble with it? Why is that?"

Su Qingluan's eyes were filled with doubt; there were simply too many perplexing aspects to this mysterious black stone wood.

Yu Jiaoying shook her head. "Although I have determined its specific material composition, when I examined its structure, I couldn't understand it at all. The structure is extremely complex, yet perfectly orderly! I have never seen anything with such a complex structure before!"

Yu Jiaoying frowned, recalling the scene when she surveyed the Black Stone Wood. She had tried every method to figure out the structure of the Black Stone Wood, but its intricate internal structure was like a meticulously designed maze. Her spiritual power traversed within it, but she could never fully comprehend the mysteries of its construction.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchou stepped forward and looked at the black stone wood, saying, "This situation is very rare. Generally speaking, the things we see, whether they are magical treasures or rare natural materials, although their structures are complex, are not so incomprehensible as to leave us completely baffled. This black stone wood is so peculiar that perhaps its origin is very special."

"Let's forget about that stone for now!" Lin Tianchou said. "Right now, all we need to know is that, most likely, the stone Yu Jiaoying obtained is the same type of thing as the ice crystal stone in front of us! That's enough! We'll split into two groups. One group will carefully study the ice crystal stone in front of us, while the other group will study the black stone wood that Yu Jiaoying took out!" Lin Tianchou's eyes showed decisiveness. In this situation full of unknowns, this arrangement was undoubtedly the most reasonable and could improve the efficiency of exploration.

Lin Tianchou continued, "Of course, Yu Jiaoying, Old White Bear, and Old Ice Bird, you all have a foundation in researching Black Stone Wood, so it would be best if you studied it now, as it would be twice as effective! As for me, I will be leading Feifei, Miss Su, Xiao Qi, Lei Sha, Seventh Elder, and others to study this Ice Crystal Stone! Once we make any discoveries, we will combine the information and analyze it together!"

Upon hearing Lin Tianchou's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

So, the group quickly split into two groups. Yu Jiaoying, the old white bear, and the old ice bird went to the side and found a relatively quiet place to begin studying the black stone wood. Yu Jiaoying placed the black stone wood on the ground, and the three of them sat together, each using their spiritual power to probe it.

Yu Jiaoying closed her eyes and slowly channeled her spiritual energy into the Black Stone Wood, attempting to delve deeper into its internal structure. Her spiritual energy acted like a sensitive probe, carefully navigating the complex structure of the Black Stone Wood, leaving no detail overlooked. The old polar bear, on the other hand, approached the problem from a different angle. Using his unique perception, he tried to capture the special aura emanating from the Black Stone Wood, an aura that might hold its secrets. The old ice bird spread its wings, releasing a surge of icy spiritual energy that mingled with the energy of the Black Stone Wood. The old ice bird hoped to find the connection between the Black Stone Wood and the ice crystals through this method.

On the other side, Lin Tianchou led Yun Feifei, Su Qingluan, Xiao Qi, Lei Sha, and the Seventh Elder to the ice crystal stone. Lin Tianchou first reached out and touched the ice crystal stone. He felt a bone-chilling coldness instantly spread throughout his body. At the same time, he also sensed a powerful and mysterious energy flowing inside the stone.

"Everyone be careful, this ice crystal stone has very powerful energy. Let's start by examining its patterns," Lin Tianchou said.

Everyone nodded and began to carefully observe the patterns on the ice crystal stone. Xiao Qi stared intently at the patterns, muttering to herself, "These patterns seem to follow a pattern, but they are also very complex, like a huge puzzle."

Su Qingluan frowned as she tried to probe along the patterns with her spiritual power. She discovered that the patterns seemed to be arranged according to some kind of specific formation. "I think these patterns resemble a formation, but I've never seen this type of formation before," Su Qingluan said.

Lei Sha walked around the ice crystal stone, observing it from different angles, trying to find some overlooked details. "This stone looks like a single piece, but I always feel like something's not right," Lei Sha said, stroking his chin.

Yun Feifei formed a hand seal and released a soft beam of spiritual energy. She projected the light onto the ice crystal stone, hoping to see the internal structure of the stone more clearly through the reflection of the spiritual energy.

"Let me try to see if I can see what's inside," Yun Feifei said.

The Seventh Elder stood silently to the side, closing his eyes and drawing upon his years of cultivation experience and knowledge to try and find something similar to the ice crystal stone in his memory.

Both groups were completely absorbed in their research. This mysterious place was full of unknowns, and whether they could solve the puzzles before them and find the secrets about this place, as well as the Black Stone Wood and Ice Crystal Stone, remained to be seen.
