Immortal in The Apocalypse

Zhu Lin put the crystal nucleus in her palm and asked, "Can you see the spiritual energy contained inside this crystal nucleus?"

They looked at the crystal nucleus for a long time before shaking their heads. After getting a negative answer from them, Zhu Lin nodded, then asked again: "Can you sense the spiritual energy emitting from this crystal nucleus?"

When she asked, the three of them nodded at the same time. Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "The energy you feel is spiritual energy."

Noticing their interest, she said, "I will teach you how to absorb spiritual energy. Try to feel the energy flow around the crystal nucleus while I absorb it."

Seeing them nodding, Zhu Lin drew out the spiritual energy from the crystal nucleus, and then absorbed it through her palm. Three seconds later, the crystal nucleus turned into dust.

Patting the dust off her hands, Zhu Lin asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Tan Wei raised his hand and asked, "Can you slow down the speed of absorption?"

Zhu Lin glanced at the three ordinary crystal nucleus inside her ice flower pendant and hesitantly said, "Uh... I can slow down the speed of absorption, but..."

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Xiu Wu asked, "What’s wrong?"

She scratched her cheek in embarrassment and said, "I only have three ordinary crystal nucleus left, and I need them to rent a place later."

Listening to her confession, the three of them were speechless. With her strength and knowledge about spiritual energy, collecting crystal nucleus should not be a problem.

Seeing her look away embarrassedly, Xiu Wu looked at Ji Yang and said, "Lao Yang, give Xiao Lin some crystal nucleus."

"All right."

Ji Yang took out a backpack from his space and opened it. He grabbed a handful of ordinary crystal nucleus, put them in front of Zhu Lin, and said, "Xiao Lin, you can use these. We have many ordinary crystal nucleus."

Zhu Lin fell silent when she saw the amount of crystal nucleus in the backpack. Tu Tu was very curious when the rabbit saw her expression, so it jumped off her shoulder to the bag. Tu Tu gasped when it saw the backpack was full of crystal nucleus.

[Master, there are a lot of crystals in this bag! All this is money, ah!] Tu Tu’s surprised and excited voice sounded in Zhu Lin’s mind.

"....." Tan Wei, Xiu Wu and Ji Yang were speechless when they saw the rabbit jumping into the backpack and swimming in it.

Embarrassed by her rabbit’s behavior, Zhu Lin picked the rabbit out of the bag, looked at the others and said, "I can’t use your crystal nucleus."

Xiu Wu smiled at her and said, "Just use it. Consider this as your payment for teaching us. Besides, it was Xiao Wei who asked you to show him again. It is only natural for us to provide the crystal nucleus."

Zhu Lin thought about what he said, nodded, picked up a crystal nucleus, and said, "Then I will start."

Under the condition that she deliberately slowed down the absorption speed, it took her thirty seconds to absorb all spiritual energy in the crystal nucleus. When the crystal nucleus turned into dust, she looked at Tan Wei and asked, "Do you understand the flow of energy now?"

Tan Wei nodded and said, "Yes."

Now that they already know how to absorb the spiritual energy from the crystal nucleus, Zhu Lin said, "Although absorbing the spiritual energy directly from the crystal nucleus can speed up the ability improvement, you must remember that there is also devil energy in it. If you can’t distinguish the energies, then you’d better not absorb too many crystal nucleus in a short time. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died in the future."

After listening to what she said just now, Tan Wei secretly put down ten crystal nucleus in his hand and only held one in his hand. Zhu Lin saw that they wanted to try to absorb the spiritual energy inside the crystal nucleus, so she picked up her bowl and chopsticks again.

When her gaze fell on her own bowl, she asked in surprise: [Tu Tu, did you add more noodles to my bowl?]

Tu Tu shook its small head and said, [I didn’t.]

Zhu Lin looked at the noodles in her bowl, which had doubled in size and doubled in amount, and thought: ’The food in this world is really fascinating. How can the food reproduce by itself? Should I let it grow more before eating it?’

While she was still hesitating whether to let the food grow or not, Xiu Wu had already absorbed three crystal nucleus.

He looked up, saw her staring at the noodles, and asked, "Why don’t you eat the noodles? It’s already become soggy. You have to eat it quickly or it won’t taste good anymore."

"Oh." Zhu Lin responded, took a few mouthfuls, and then gave the rest to Tu Tu.

Five minutes later, Ji Yang and Tan Wei finally completed the absorption of the crystal nucleus. Looking at their sweaty faces, Zhu Lin asked, "How is it? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Ji Yang nodded and said, "When I absorb the spiritual energy, my meridians hurt a little bit."

Hearing Ji Yang’s words, Tan Wei also nodded and said, "Me too."

Zhu Lin then looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "What about you?"

She tried not to call him Elder Brother Wu if she could, because it would be too embarrassing. But it’s also very impolite to talk to him like this.

After thinking for two seconds, she added in a low voice: "... Elder Brother Wu."

As supernatural beings, their five senses are stronger than ordinary people, so all three of them could hear her voice very clearly. Hearing her embarrassedly calling out an ’Elder Brother Wu’, Ji Yang and Tan Wei looked at Xiu Wu at the same time, only to see him smiling brightly with his eyes fixed on Zhu Lin.

They looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and thought, ’It’s over. Lao Xiu really likes Xiao Lin. The iron tree finally blossomed, but the target was a piece of wood.’
