It's the blooming spirit crystal stone, a unique crystal stone in the blooming god continent," Xie Xinyue replied.
Blossom Spirit Crystal? Ding Huan furrowed his brow. If he wanted to leave Earth with this spacecraft, where would he get a Blossom Spirit Crystal?
"The crystal is stored in the Seeksoul ship and there's quite a bit of it," Xie Xinyue hurriedly said.
Ding Huan was overjoyed, "Hurry up and open the hatch, let me take a look."
Xie Xinyue shook her head, "I can open the hatch, but I cannot take out the crystal. I'm just the lowest authority on the Seeksoul ship."
As she spoke, Xie Xinyue was already leaping up lightly as a sparrow and then reaching out to press on the hatch.
The hatch emitted a flash of light, and then it automatically opened.
Xie Xinyue followed her into the cabin.
Ding Huan and Zhong Chi also leaped into the air and landed inside the cabin.
Inside the cabin, it was still relatively spacious, with a height of over two meters. Ding Huan stood inside and didn't feel oppressed at all.
Zhong Chi had been here once before and didn't think there was anything to see. Xie Xinyue had been living here for several months and didn't find it remarkable either.
Ding Huan had scanned the layout with his spiritual awareness just now, and he already knew it well.
"Ding brother, this is where the Blossom Spirit Crystal is stored, but there is a destructive program inside."
"Breaking it open forcefully will only result in the complete consumption of the energy in the Blossom Spirit Crystal, and it may even cause an explosion of the Seeksoul ship."
Xie Xinyue reminded Ding Huan, her greatest worry was that he would directly break open the energy storage compartment of the Seeksoul ship.
Ding Huan's spiritual awareness penetrated into this energy storage compartment. Although the program had locked it, it could still be opened inside.
Just like a locked gate.
However, the energy compartment is sealed, making it impossible for anyone to enter, let alone open it from inside.
Ding Huan had no intention of opening it from inside. His spiritual awareness had already scanned that there was no Blossom Spirit Crystal inside the energy compartment.
"Ding brother, you are certain that there are many Blossom Spirit Crystals inside?" Ding Huan looked at Xie Xinyue with suspicion and asked again.
Xie Xinyue nodded, "I'm sure."
Ding Huan shook his head, "There are no Blossom Spirit Crystals inside, although I don't know what they look like. However, since it's an energy source, there must be energy fluctuations... Hmm..."
Ding Huan's words abruptly paused, he felt energy fluctuations in another location.
This location was not within the locked energy compartment, but rather in a section of the living space.
Ding Huan directly arrived at this location, and two wind blades sliced down.
He wanted to cut this floor open, but he found it was extremely tough. His slash only left a white mark.
Ding Huan simply took out the Starry Sky Sword, gathered his vital energy, and struck it down with a powerful blow.
No matter how hard the floor of the Seeksoul ship is, it still appeared a gap after Ding Huan's one strike.
Ding Huan sliced out several more times to tear an opening, from which he took out a wooden box.
Opening the box revealed five transparent and crystalline stones inside.
"This must be the Blossom Spirit Crystal," Ding Huan asked.
"That's right, this is the Blossom Spirit Crystal. How did you know it was here?" Xie Xinyue asked in surprise.
Ding Huan held a piece in his palm, and a surge of celestial and earthy Qi came in, far more concentrated than that from spiritual stones. Ding Huan felt that as long as he wanted to, he could step into the level of a Grade Six Gene Practitioner at any time.
"I sensed it, I can definitely tell you that there are no other Blossom Spirit Crystals inside this energy compartment," Ding Huan said.
"How is that possible? There are 10,000 Blossom Spirit Crystals stored as spare energy here. The Seeksoul ship's energy crystals were scavenged over a long period of time." Xie Xinyue immediately replied.
Then she realized that Ding Huan must not be lying to her.
Ding Huan can sense the Blossom Spirit Crystals, and he said there are none, so there definitely aren't any.
"This seems to have more celestial and earthly Qi than the spiritual stones," even though Zhong Chi hasn't touched the Blossom Spirit Crystals, he can still sense it.
Ding Huan had no intention of giving the Blossom Spirit Crystals to Zhong Chi. Zhong Chi's innate cultivation level is too low, and even if he gave him the crystals, it wouldn't significantly improve his strength.
But he himself needed it. He must quickly cultivate to the ninth level of gene practitioner, preferably to refine his genes here.
Putting the five Blossom Spirit Crystals into his bag, Ding Huan suddenly asked, "Xinyue Miss, how many people were originally on the Seeksoul ship?"
"Including me, there are five of us. There's the First and Second Steering Master, the Seeksoul Guardian, the Seeksoul Lifestyle Manager, and myself," Xie Xinyue said.
Ding Huan turned to Zhong Chi and said, "Xinyue Miss said that there were originally five people on the ship. How many of them have you encountered?"
"Not right..." Zhong Chi suddenly spoke.
Ding Huan asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Chi explained, "There were only four people on the ship. We killed three and captured one. Where were there five people?"
"Besides Miss Xinyue, Old Zhong, describe the other three people who were killed," Ding Huan said.
After the ship was taken control of, Zhong Chi, as the first-class cultivator of China, was naturally invited here.
He remembered it very clearly, "A bearded man who claimed to be the captain. This guy was quite strong, and he was killed on the spot by Lao Qiu of the Martial Alliance."
There was also a woman who looked very beautiful but seemed to have no real power. She looked like she wanted to resist, and was shot dead by a federal officer.
The third person was a tall man with high cultivation, and at the time, it was me and Shi Changyi who dealt with him together. I was slightly injured in the process of capturing him and later executed by the federal military tribunal."
Ding Huan relayed Zhong Chi's words to Xie Xinyue, who frowned and said, "There is one more person missing. His name is Heichongqiu."
"Heichongqiu?" Ding Huan looked confused while looking at Xie Xinyue, is there such a name?
Xie Xinyue nodded confidently and said, "Yes, even though on the surface, his status is slightly higher than mine. In reality, he is the lowest-ranked person on the Seeksoul ship."
Because he is the lifestyle manager, responsible for our meals. And every time, he could only eat what was left over, making him the most humble on the Seeksoul ship.
Except for me, everyone had bullied him. He himself had no name, and the steering master found him to be dark-skinned, like a kind of eating feces worm, so he called him Heichongqiu.
He had a very good personality, and whenever someone called him Heichongqiu, he would smile cheerfully, looking quite willing. No matter who he met, he would call them brother or sister."
Ding Huan nodded, which he could understand. Xie Xinyue still had a mission to fulfill, which was to find the habitat of the divine race.
He was just responsible for cooking, and he should have no real skills, so he was looked down upon and lived a very humble life.
What Heichongqiu, actually it should be a dung beetle.
"Does he also have the ability to hide and teleport?" Ding Huan asked again.
Xie Xinyue shook her head, "I don't know."
Ding Huan said, "I have a question that confuses me. Even if you knew the Earth's distress signal, it's not as if you would come to Earth directly, without any precautions, right?"
This is the most confusing question for Ding Huan. According to reason, an exploration ship searching for life planets in the universe should not be so impulsive.
Xie Xinyue also frowned, as she was not involved in the decision of where the ship would go. However, it was indeed strange that the ship came directly to Earth and was shot down by someone.
She hadn't thought about it before, but now that Ding Huan mentioned it, she gradually understood.
"Tell me about the situation at that time," Ding Huan said.
Xie Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "Heichongqiu..."
"Let's call him dung beetle, as the name Heichongqiu is awkward." Ding Huan waved his hand, feeling that the problem might very well be with the dung beetle.
Xie Xinyue didn't pay much attention and continued, "Although Heichongqiu is just the lifestyle manager, he is responsible for receiving some non-ordinary signals."
"One day, he suddenly said that he had found a distress signal and quickly told the First Steering Master of the Seeksoul ship..."
Xie Xinyue paused and felt something was amiss. She seemed to recall that at the time, the First Steering Master Wu had mentioned turning the ship around and leaving.
She didn't pay much attention and never really cared about it.
Until the ship was forced to land on Earth by weapons, she still believed that the First Steering Master Wu meant to turn around and provide support.
Now that everyone is safe and there is time to think, she realized that it seemed unlikely. How could the First Steering Master Wu possibly support a distress signal that was out of the blue?
The problem is that the First Steering Master Wu wouldn't have supported it, so how did the Seeksoul ship end up on Earth?
Ding Huan did not interrupt Xie Xinyue's train of thought. After she had sorted everything out, she told Ding Huan everything without any concealment.
Ding Hwan was silent for a while before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that dung beetle is probably involved in some serious trouble. Not only is he adept at concealment, but he's also skilled in modifying ship programs."
He might have modified the ship's positioning and driving programs, causing the Seeksoul ship to take a detour instead of leaving, resulting in it being shot down on Earth.
"That's..." Xie Xinyue couldn't believe it.
It's just that Heichongqiu was too unobtrusive; not only was he short, but he also had no initiative, always needing to ask others for opinions.
Since she knew Heichongqiu, he had always been bowing and speaking to everyone with a lowered head.
As for his cultivation, that's definitely zero. He was just brought up to serve others by force.
"If it's really like that, then the person who fled must be Heichongqiu. He started his plan as soon as he received the Earth signal."
"Then the Blossom Spirit Crystals in the energy compartment should also have been taken by him. He's quite a character, not only eliminating four of you but also taking away a thousand crystals..."
Ding Huan paused here and seemed to have remembered something, immediately returning to the place where he had previously slashed with his star knife, penetrating his divine sense to carefully examine it.
After a while, he sighed, "This guy is truly talented. These five crystals were also planted by him; they are the control mechanism for him to modify the Seeksoul ship's program."
"It seems that he's been planning this from the beginning. What a calculating little thing you are."
After speaking, Ding Huan walked to the cockpit and directly slashed with his star knife.
In a short time, the cockpit was slashed to pieces by Ding Huan, with everything inside destroyed, including various chips, programs, and wires.
"Ding Laodi, what are you doing?" Zhong Chi looked at Ding Huan with some confusion.
Ding Huan said, "This ship is beyond repair, and even if we can fix it, I don't have the Blossom Spirit Crystals to leave in it."
I'm sure that dung beetle can fix it, and he'll definitely come back. So, I'll destroy it first."
