"Every ten years, the phantom of the Statue of Lihen will come and harvest the resources stored in this incense burner."

"The edible part is eaten on the spot and has an immediate effect on it."

"The inedible parts were put into its arms...Looking at it, it must have been taken away, right?"

Based on Meng Zhou's familiarity with the Lihen Cult, he could basically determine that those "gems" that had an immediate positive effect on the phantom of the Lihen Statue were most likely the "manifestation of hatred".

"Maybe it can be called the crystal of hatred, or the gem of hatred?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

While sorting out these thoughts, Meng Zhou, who had always been cautious and keen, also had some related doubts in his mind.

First, is the arrival of the phantom of the God of Lihen, or the harvest, really a standard ten-year cycle?

Existing rules show that the arrival of the phantom of the God of Lihen is a standard cycle every ten years.

But is this rule really 100% reliable?

Meng Zhou was very suspicious.

In recent years, from the Qingxuan Domain to the other four domains, the entire structure of the Lihen Sect in the Five Domains has undergone tremendous changes.

Meng Zhou was not surprised at all by the adjusted arrival time of the phantom statue of Lihen, which was closely related to it.

Because of this understanding in his heart, Meng Zhou, who was returning to Aurora Cave at this moment, knew very well that it was time to consider "building another cave."

It was okay to live in this Aurora Cave for the time being, but he didn't want to be a long-term neighbor with such a dangerous thing.

But if we leave Aurora Cave, where should we stay next?

Go to Wumenghai or Kurosawahara to find a suitable third-level spiritual land to settle down?

But this led to the second doubt in Meng Zhou's mind.

"Does this special resource collection place only exist in Tianqi Mountain, or does it also exist in other third-level evil veins?"

If it's the former, then your luck seems to be a little too good.

Among the three random choices, the one with the biggest problem was chosen.

Rather than believing that this was luck, Meng Zhou was more inclined to another possibility.

"Perhaps, this kind of resource collection altar does not only exist in Tianqi Mountain... It is not even limited to the three third-level evil veins in Qingxuan Domain."

Meng Zhou thought about the full coverage impact of this new information on the five domains, and he naturally thought of another possibility.

"This kind of resource collection altar is likely to exist widely within the five regions."

From this, the third doubt arose in Meng Zhou's mind.

He is confident that in terms of understanding of the Lihen Sect, there are few people in the Five Realms who are better than him.

It is not modest to say that for more than a hundred years, even if all the five sects including Qingxuan Sect were tied together, he alone would not cause as much damage to the Lihen Sect.

Using the Soul-pulling Technique that he had practiced to perfection, he reviewed the memories of many Lihen Sect monks in the Qingxuan Domain who had reached the level of forming pills.

I don’t know how many other inheritances, notes, and secrets related to the Lihen Sect have been stuffed in my heart.

He even saw the true appearance of the statue of Lihen from the memories of those pill-forming monks.

But even under such circumstances, he did not find any information related to today's altar.

If it weren't for Yaya's special induction, he would have been kept in the dark till now.

Meng Zhou therefore had a third doubt:

"Do those monks from the Lihen Sect, including those who form pills, and even those high-ranking people lurking within the five sects, know?"

Although there is no clear evidence, Meng Zhou feels that they most likely don't know.

So, who decorated this altar?

There are obvious traces of monks' activities in those stone chambers. Who are those people?

"Two teams? Two systems?"

"The Lihen cult members who have been operating very covertly throughout the five regions are actually still just a cover-up?"

If all these doubts have the key to "the Statue of Lihen", then the last doubt in Meng Zhou's heart has little to do with the Statue of Lihen, but it makes him extremely concerned.

The source of this doubt lies in a detail.

Every time, after the phantom of the Statue of Lihen salvaged the "gems" from the incense burner, he would immediately absorb some of the "gems" to give himself an immediate improvement.

However, it didn't suck most of the gems out of them, but carried them into its arms.

Is it because your digestion capacity is limited, you have already eaten enough, and you want to save the rest for later?

Still can’t digest it?

Through seven consecutive observations and comparisons, Meng Zhou believed that it was the second reason.

“As long as it can be absorbed and digested and is good for it, it will suck it up immediately.

Those left behind are all that it cannot digest."

So, what is the nature of those "gems" that are not beneficial to it and that it cannot digest?

Is it something similar to a "crystal of hate"?

There are already statues of Lihen that feed on "crystals of hate", and there are also "jewels" similar to "crystals of hate"——
