So he nodded to Fang Yuxin and said, "If that’s the case, this matter indeed isn’t Miss Fang’s fault. I will take this person away."
Fang Yuxin politely expressed her thanks, then thanked the people around her before getting back into her vehicle to hit the road once more.
This time they didn’t encounter any more trouble and directly returned home. The lock on the front gate had been newly replaced and seemed undisturbed. Satisfied, Fang Yuxin nodded her approval and beckoned everyone inside.
The Fang Family’s living room was large, and once everyone was seated, she went to the kitchen, washed a basin of fresh fruit to bring out—strawberries, apples, grapes, cherries—several kinds. The food was extremely fresh, and because it had just been washed, the skins glistened with a layer of crystal-clear water, making them look even more tempting.
In the apocalypse, fresh fruits and vegetables were rare delicacies, seldom enjoyed by everyone. Upon seeing the fruit served, everyone uncontrollably swallowed their saliva, and their eyes lit up.
Fang Yuxin gave a shout, and without any hesitation, they all grabbed their favorite fruit to eat.
While they were enjoying the fruit, Fang Yuxin spoke up, "After you finish the fruit, bring out all the Elemental Stones you’ve found. These need spiritual power to cut open, and the matter of Elemental Crystals must be kept a secret, so it’s best to absorb Elemental Crystals here."
No one had objections to this request. They all understood that once the news of Elemental Crystals leaked, they wouldn’t be able to gain an advantage anymore, so secrecy was of utmost importance.
The villa had many rooms, and after finishing the fruit, Fang Yuxin asked them to try cutting the Elemental Stones. Cutting Elemental Stones was a very good form of Qi Refinement, so she did not plan to do the work for them.
While they were cutting the stones, she went to the kitchen to prepare meals. Not only for dinner but also for tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch, everything had to be ready.
By the time she had nearly finished preparing, Chen Qiao and the rest had managed to cut open an Elemental Stone. Some contained Elemental Crystals, while the unlucky ones found nothing inside.
Fang Yuxin had already accumulated a fair number of Elemental Crystals and exchanged them for what the others could use. Even for those who were unlucky and came across an empty stone, she advanced them some. It was just too bad that Spatial System Elemental Crystals were extremely rare; she only had one and gave it to Shang Jinxiu.
After that, Chen Qiao and the others decided to start absorbing Elemental Crystals.
The rooms were already prepared. Fang Yuxin took everyone to their respective rooms, explained the precautions, and then imbued each person with Wood Energy to stimulate their vitality. Afterward, she let them absorb on their own.
These people were resolute in will, and with her explanation and the help of the Wood Energy, they felt reassured, making the whole absorption process very smooth.
