"Can I collect these Stellar Crystals now, High Priest?"
After deciphering the rune mechanisms, Yang Tian asked after inspecting them a few more times and confirming that he had deciphered all of them.
The High Priest glanced at Yang Tian before closing his eyes and ignoring Yang Tian.
It was obvious that the old man didn't want to give Yang Tian a definite answer.
Since High Priest Feiyun had agreed, it meant that all the rune mechanisms here had been cracked.
If the High Priest didn't agree, there might be other rune mechanisms.
The rune energy lines Yang Tian saw had been simulated by a strange program. If the program hadn't detected them, they wouldn't have appeared in Yang Tian's vision.
Since the High Priest wasn't fooled, Yang Tian wasn't afraid either. He started collecting the Stellar Crystals.
The space in his black storage bracelet was very spacious. It wouldn't be a problem to store all the Stellar Crystals here.
After spending an entire day, all the Stellar Crystals, some green crystal boxes, and some materials that Yang Tian didn't recognize had been stored in Yang Tian's storage bracelet.
No rune mechanisms had appeared during this process.
After everything was taken away, the space within the meteorite became empty all of a sudden.
It was a good place to cultivate.
Next, he would have to reach the Superstar Grade before he could leave.
There was a huge gap between the Star Grade and the Superstar Grade.
Without a large amount of energy, it would be impossible to reach the Superstar Grade in a short time.
At the same time, it would take time.
After all the Stellar Crystals had been collected, a teleportation formation disk appeared on the left side of the stone wall.
Suo Er and Qu Yan Guying had used this teleportation formation disk to leave.
At the moment, the disk wasn't operating. It was closed.
Yang Tian only glanced at it before looking away.
Next, Yang Tian took out all the green crystal boxes in one go and piled them into a huge pile.
Yang Tian counted, there were a total of 1215 green crystal boxes.
When he saw Yang Tian take out these boxes, he knew that he was going to count the beast cores in them. The High Priest opened his eyes and glanced at Yang Tian before closing them again.
During this process, one could see that the High Priest's eyes weren't as bright as they had been before.
At this moment, Yang Tian was in a state of extreme excitement and did not notice the change in High Priest Fei Yun.
"High Priest, how did you obtain these beast cores?
There are so many! "
There were more than 1,000 beast cores in these boxes. The more Yang Tian looked at them, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but ask this question.
Now, these things belonged to him. This was the first time Yang Tian had so many cultivation resources.
At the same time, this was also a huge fortune.
If he sold so many beast cores, he would be able to buy a prosperous and habitable planet.
Or to build a mobile fortress …
However, the High Priest didn't answer Yang Tian's question.
When Yang Tian opened a box and found a purple beast core inside, Yang Tian turned his head again and looked at the High Priest.
Yang Tian wanted to ask what grade this beast core was.
At this moment, Yang Tian was shocked to find that the High Priest seemed to have lost all strength. His head was drooping down.
The life force coming from the High Priest was also much weaker than before.
Yang Tian immediately threw down the box in his hand and jumped onto the stone platform to help the High Priest up.
"High Priest, what's wrong?" Yang Tian shook the High Priest and asked worriedly.
At this moment, Yang Tian had already guessed that the High Priest's life force had weakened because he had collected those stellar crystals.
"Heh heh …" After a long while, the High Priest opened his eyes and laughed.
He looked at Yang Tian with gratification in his eyes.
"Great Shaman, how did you …" Yang Tian was unable to continue when he spoke until here.
The Little Blue Dragon was lying on Yang Tian's shoulder. Although it wasn't happy with the High Priest before, it was also a little sad at this moment.
The Little Blue Dragon also knew that the old man in front of it was going to lose his life very soon.
The High Priest's laughter was hoarse, like the sound of metal scraping against each other. After his laughter stopped, he raised his hand and pushed Yang Tian away.
He was also a stubborn old man. He didn't want to be supported by Yang Tian at this moment.
Then, High Priest Feiyun took out a yellow beast core from his storage bracelet and put it in his mouth.
After swallowing the beast core, the Flying Cloud Great Priest finally recovered his mental state after a long while.
However, this situation couldn't be maintained for long.
This was because Yang Tian could clearly feel that the High Priest's body was emitting waves of energy after he swallowed the beast core.
It was obvious that the High Priest's body could no longer store energy. His body was like a leaky net. No matter how much energy he replenished, it would dissipate very quickly.
"My life has always been maintained by these talisman arrays. Since you've broken them, I naturally won't be able to live for long.
In fact, I should have died many years ago. "The High Priest said with a smile after he recovered his energy.
"Then let's restore it!" Yang Tian hurriedly said when he thought that this was indeed the case.
However, the High Priest waved his hand. "There's no point in living like this. After so many years, this old man is also tired.
While this old man still has time, I'll tell you what I should tell you! "
With that, the High Priest extended a hand to Yang Tian. "Help this old man up."
Yang Tian immediately got up and helped the High Priest up.
During this process, Yang Tian felt as if the High Priest's body was weightless.
With Yang Tian's help, the High Priest stood up and slowly pushed Yang Tian away.
The High Priest, who was standing alone, was swaying unsteadily. He looked like a paper figurine blown by the wind.
After he steadied himself, the High Priest slowly bent down and lifted a corner of his black robe.
At this moment, Yang Tian saw that the High Priest's legs were very thin. There was only a thin layer of dried skin on his leg bones.
After letting Yang Tian take a look, the High Priest put down the hem of his black robe and straightened up. He smiled at Yang Tian. "This is the result of my greed."
Yang Tian didn't understand what he meant.
Seeing Yang Tian blinking his eyes with a puzzled expression, Flying Cloud Great Priest slowly walked forward.
His lower limbs were already very stiff. When he walked, it was as if he was walking on stilts.
Flying Cloud Great Priest walked a few meters away from where he had been sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, Yang Tian saw that there were nine triangular buttons where the High Priest had been sitting.
This was clearly the activation button for a mechanism.
"From here to there, one to nine. The order of activation is seven, six, three, one …"
Then, the Flying Cloud Great Priest explained the sequence of activating the mechanism.
