Xu Qianghua was the only one who touched the egg, and just like last ti, he felt the faint connection between himself and the mysterious object.
This ti, however, the bond felt much stronger, as though the egg were reacting to his presence more intentionally.
The mont his hand rested on the smooth surface, the Chaos Qi within his body began to flow toward the egg again like last ti, but this ti, the process was much smoother.
He observed the process with a mix of curiosity and doubt. This egg clearly had so connection to chaos energy, and whatever was inside it seed to respond to his presence.
But why?
The thought stayed in his mind as the process continued, the Chaos Qi flowing from his body into the egg.
The others watched in great fanfare, their eyes fixed on the shimring golden aura surrounding the egg.
Similarly, the egg didn't show any signs of rejection; instead, its glow intensified, pulsing rhythmically as though it was trying to tell him that it was still alive and kicking.
Liu iying, standing nearby, watched intently. "Qiangqiang, does it hurt you when it draws your Chaos Qi?"
"No," he replied, shaking his head. "It feels… surprisingly calm and easy, almost like it's ant to happen."
She humd, her gaze shifting between him and the egg. A thoughtful expression crossed her face.
"This is truly intriguing," she murmured.
Bai Lingyun leaned closer, her sharp eyes studying the egg's faint glow. "There are many spirit beasts cubs that feed on the Qi of their parents or siblings. Maybe this is sothing similar."
"It's not uncommon for beasts to do so, but how is it possible for a beast to do this while still in its egg state? Could it be a type of spirit beast I'm not aware of?"
"But even if that was the case, what are the chances that a beast with a connection to Chaos cos right here where Brother Qiang has a physique related to it?" Liu Anwei asked, stepping forward.
Yan Yuehua sighed, shaking her head. "This is getting more complicated. We should just leave the egg alone for now and wait for it to hatch before we can think more about it, but we need to study the teorite's functions."
The rest of the ladies all nodded but their eyes never left the egg, their curiosity growing with each passing mont.
Xu Qianghua, however, remained silent, his hand still resting on the egg. The energy transfer slowed, and the egg wriggled slightly before settling again. He pulled his hand back, letting out a slow breath.
"And just like Yue'er said we'll figure out the egg later," he said. "For now, let's organize everything else. There's a lot here, and we need to make sure nothing goes to waste."
Liu iying and Bai Lingyun imdiately took charge, each summoning their storage artifacts and setting up a system to categorize the items.
"Start with the spirit stones," Bai Lingyun instructed. "There's a small mountain of them near the entrance."
"I'll handle the herbs," Liu iying added. "They need to be sorted by grade and type."
The other won joined in, and their movents were efficient as they worked together to catalog the teorite's contents.
Yan Yuehua focused on the glowing pill bottles, carefully inspecting each one for its potential uses. Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei organized the rare tals and crystals, while Huang Xinyi took inventory of the high-grade spiritual artifacts.
Xu Qianghua watched them work, a faint smile on his lips. Their coordination was flawless, a testant to their dedication and capabilities.
He then also went to help them as he focused more on rare and unknown items that no one could identify.
And if you are wondering how all of these items stayed like this without any of them losing their Spiritual Qi, it is mainly because of the formations set up which preserve these items from any harm from the laws of ti.
As the hours passed, the won brought him updates on their progress. Liu iying approached first, holding a detailed list of the herbs she had sorted.
"There are over a hundred types of herbs here," she reported. "Most of them are extrely rare, and so are even extinct in this part of the void. Whoever left this behind knew what they were doing."
Bai Lingyun followed with a similar report on the spirit stones. "There are thousands of Holy Spirit Stones, as well as a few other types I've never seen before. This alone could sustain the Xu family's cultivation needs for decades."
Yan Yuehua chid in from across the chamber. "The pills are equally impressive. Many of them are for advanced cultivation stages, and so are specifically tailored for breaking through bottlenecks. This is a treasure trove."
Xu Qianghua nodded, his mind already calculating how to distribute the resources efficiently. "Good work. Once everything is sorted, we'll call the elders to take inventory and decide how best to use these items."
The won exchanged glances; all of them had a happy smile, but they had a slight competitive look in their eyes. It was clear that each of them wanted to impress him with their efforts.
Before long, the treasures were fully organized, and Xu Qianghua activated his family token to summon the elders. As they waited, the won gathered around him near the pedestal holding the egg.
"So, what will you do with it?" Liu Anwei asked, her voice soft.
Xu Qianghua looked at the egg, his expression thoughtful. "I'll keep it for now. Whatever's inside, it's connected to . I'll let it hatch and then let nature take its course."
The won nodded in agreent, though their curiosity about the egg remained.
When the elders arrived, their reactions to the teorite's contents were similar to the won's—surprise and disbelief.
But they quickly got back to doing their jobs as they began assessing the resources, their experienced eyes scanning the treasures quickly and then sorting them into four different parts.
Two are useful and two are unuseful, and then the section is further subdivided into the present and the future.
