After doing a quick survey around the area. They immediately regroup, sharing their discovery to each other.
This palace is divided into three rings. Outer rings seem to be consistent of reception hall, living quarters.
It had crystal plaza, crystal gardens (east), crystal bamboo garden (west), crystal beast garden (south) and crystal moon garden (North).
Only crystal garden and crystal beast garden is consist of herbs and beast still growing freely.
They first went to crystal garden and start gathering herbs. Even normal spirit grass is atleast 10,000 year old.
They didn't take everyone but few stalk of each variety, leaving the remaining herbs for anyone else who had fortune of stumbling here in future.
The beast in crystal beast garden all were free spirit. Shi mingxi look around but didn't find any pure blood beast.
So, neither she or other take any of the beast as these species can be found even outside in small price.
Then they head toward the inner ring. Once, again they spread around and regroup sharing their discoveries.
East wing have alchemist hall containing herbs, ancient pill refinement techniques. Shi Yixue took everything with her.
West wing, have formation hall consists of formation manuals, inscription workshop, they didn't took anything from here.
North wing, hall of records. Inside this place the history of the palace, the records of civilization and the language was recorded.
When they filp through it they get to know this place is Crystal Mirror Lake. And this palace is called Ancient Crystal Palace.
The last ruler of this palace foresee the end of this kingdom. So, he seal the palace beneath the lake, inside the crystal mirror Lake.
South wing consists of beast sanctuary. The palace had an array capable of purifying and awakening dormant bloodline in beast.
It also have some pills which can be used to treat beast injuries. Shi mingxi happily swipe away everything from the shelfs.
Crystal forge hall situated between alchemy hall and formation hall consists of workshop capable of producing weapon and armour.
Crystal training ground. A place to train and it also trail formation, which mean a person can create ideal battle situation to train in.
The central rings consists of the main palace where the royal family used to live. On the left side of the palace stood a lone Pavillion.
This nine story pavillion is connected by the crystal bridge from the royal palace if they want to see this place they had to enter the palace through the crystal door.
Ruo senling "as expected this door is closed using some kind of formation" she removed her hand from the door.
Shi Yixue "then again the formation master hate space cultivator's for a reason" she once again use the spatial rift.
Shi mingxi "though this time we have to careful. I'm afraid the inside is going to be fully of danger"
Shi Yixue pause then she spoke confidently "then you better stick close to me" with that she lightly touch the floor.
When the other two step on the ground they realise they had step on entirely different things then the floor.
This is not them covering their feet with the spiritual energy. But rather shi Yixue covering the 10 meters radius of area with spatial law letting the area beneath their feet touch something else then the floor.
But Ruo senling and shi mingxi were taken back with the fine control over elements by shi Yixue.
Shi mingxi "honestly speaking, even if I had space element I'm afraid, I could never reach the fine control she have"
Ruo senling nodded her head. They both stare at the young girl who's younger then both of them.
But is capable of outperforming them always, it's like when they thought they had reach her height she's already far ahead.
They couldn't help but sign emotionally at the gap between them. Suddenly, shi Yixue call them to hurry up.
They reach the throne room. Behind the throne room lay ancestral hall and crystal observatory.
On the right side is spirit hall, where the palace spirit lay dormant. They definitely don't want to wake her up.
Another door lead them to the cultivation hall, which all three of them are interested in paying a visit.
On the left side two crystal bridge connect to two different buildings. One bridge took one to the mysterious Pavillion.
While, the second one took them to simple looking shrine like structure with ancient ruins covering the wall of shrine.
They had found no words or records about this place in the hall of records. So, they decide to check them first.
Ruo senling "why does I feel like these crystal knight statue are staring at us."Her words immediately catch others attention.
Shi mingxi "these statue indeed are weird" she want to move closer for inspection but the shi Yixue can't maintain the circle larger.
Shi Yixue "I think they are the guarding of the palace. Thers must be somekind of condition or restrictions to awake them"
Ruo senling "well I prefer them to be continue being statue" she really don't want any fight, when she had no idea about these statue strength.
Shi mingxi "we should be more careful. From the start Yixue space manipulation have us from lot of trouble"
Ruo senling nodded her head agreeing with her. This young women really had save them from lot of trouble.
Soon, they reach the shrine. From outside the wall of shrine look simple with some ancient ruins covering the surface.
But when they enter the shrine. There breath hiss in shock and realisation.
Blood Awakening Shrine....
There's a pool filled with red liquid at just few step away. Then an alter lay beyond the pool covered in ruin which make one feel awe just by taking a glance at it.
On the left side wall, a single shelf made of crystal support a book. When they open it, the ancient language written in it make them baffled.
Shi mingxi "what should we do now. We have no idea about how to use this place at all" she frown.
Ruo senling "give me few minutes. I might able to translate it" shi mingxi look at her eyes filled with hope.
Ruo senling ".....might" shi mingxi face fall.
