Chapter 226: Magic Core! (1/2)
What happened next proved that Bai Xiaofei’s choice of raising Huskie with the free range method was correct. If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t have been able to discover such a hidden escape route. The new escape route was right at the edge of the Furnace of Agarwood. Although there wasn’t a hole at the defensive barrier here like their previous escape route, the barrier here was too thin to prevent their passage.
After wrapping their bodies with origin energy, the two left. And the moment they entered the Infinite Mountain Range, they were akin to fish released to the sea. In the blink of an eye, they had completely left the secured zone around the academy.
They were running madly along when Hu Xian’er suddenly stopped at an area with lush trees.
“This place will do.”
She looked at Bai Xiaofei, her blushing face was filled with emotions while her eyes were also filled with desire.
“Are you sure this place is safe?” Bai Xiaofei scanned his surroundings cautiously like a thief about to steal something. He wasn’t even that cautious when he had previously snuck into the women’s dormitory.
“Don’t worry, I checked. In the region spanning several kilometers around us, there are no powerful magical beasts. As for magical beasts even farther away, we will have the time to react when they start coming at us.” Hu Xian’er dispelled any doubts Bai Xiaofei had, and she paused before speaking again, “Take it out!”
Hearing Hu Xian’er’s request, a solemn look surfaced on Bai Xiaofei’s face. With a flash of his storage ring, something appeared in his palm. It was the unique crystal Zhuang Ming had cheaply sold him. Although Zhuang Ming and Feng Wuhen did not know what this item was, Hu Xian’er knew.
Earlier when Hu Xian’er had muttered into Bai Xiaofei’s ears, she was telling him he had to get this item no matter what because it was a priceless treasure. Otherwise, why would he have become so generous toward the end? That was because this crystal alone was already a crazy profit for him. Everything after that was mere extra earnings.
After taking the crystal from Bai Xiaofei, Hu Xian’er placed her complete focus on it. After sinking her senses into the crystal at such close distance, her suspicions from earlier were completely confirmed.
This was no top-tier forging material. This was the magic core of a Saint Rank magical beast. All magical beasts at King Rank and above would form a magic core containing all their power. Similar to the origin core within Bai Xiaofei and all other humans, the magic core was the source of power for magical beasts.
Because of that, magic cores were the most valuable material one could obtain from a magical beast. There were many things one could do with a magic core. The most basic usage involved turning it into an energy source. The energy within a magic core was much purer than a Starnet Stone.
But if the magical beast the magic core came from was partial to a certain attribute, the energy within the magic core could no longer be absorbed by a human. After all, the origin energy of humans was without attribute. If one recklessly absorbed an energy source, it could throw the person’s origin energy into chaos, causing that person to die of bodily implosion.
However, puppet masters with puppets sharing the same elemental attribute as the magic core could use it as a battery. The puppet master could directly extract the energy within the magic core to fuel the puppet’s abilities.
