The fifth floor of the Star Refining Tower is a spacious and bright room with hexagonal shape, which is still made of metal, and the area is only slightly smaller than the arena on the fourth floor.

The huge room was empty, only Lin Lichuan's footsteps echoed constantly, highlighting a cold and empty feeling.

After patrolling around the room, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but ponder.

"According to that artificial intelligence, there should be a place where the on-site personnel are on standby in this star refining tower. Where will it be?"

He looked around.

The room in front of me is obviously the venue for the fifth trial. From the outside, there are five floors of the Star Refining Tower. The places on duty are mostly on this floor, hidden somewhere behind this room.

Lin Lichuan came to the opposite metal wall at the entrance of the stairs, drew his sword and slashed hard towards the wall. After several consecutive swords, there were already several cracks of 20 cm deep on the metal wall, but there were still no entrance or other existence.

"From the sound, the back should not be empty." Lin Lichuan was a little helpless now. The room was so large that he could not try it out in a piece of wall. After all, the wall was made of metal material, and its hardness was comparable to that of high-strength alloys. If he tried it all, he would probably have to exhaust himself.

Suddenly, Lin Lichuan suddenly patted his forehead.

"I'm confused, I've forgotten that I still have that one."

He immediately turned his gaze to the lower right corner of his vision, staring at him while walking around the room.

The trial reward of the Star Refining Tower. Since the bottle of primary star energy reagents is issued immediately, it proves that a certain amount of reagent must be stored in the tower. As long as you find the storage location of the star energy reagent, you may find something.

The facts proved that Lin Lichuan was right. After more than two minutes, the distance prompt of the meteorite energy finally popped up in the lower right corner of the field of view.

Seeing this, he was delighted and immediately followed the prompts to correct his position. Soon after, he stopped in front of a metal wall.

"Is it here?"

Lin Lichuan did not hold back this time, and directly hit the Bankai with a crescent sky on the wall. With the sharp and harsh metal twists and tearing sound, a huge gap appeared on the wall, revealing the deep darkness behind it.

"It's done!"

After letting out a light breath, Lin Lichuan immediately stepped into the gap and looked closely and saw a dim little room inside.

The floor, wall and ceiling are spliced ​​together by metal squares the size of a washbasin. There are many precision instruments hanging on the walls that have never been seen before, which are very high-tech. There is also an extremely huge device embedded on the wall facing the gap. Judging from the dense electronic screens, buttons and instruments above, they are mostly console-like equipment.

The room in front of me looked inexplicably familiar. Lin Lichuan thought about it for a while before he remembered that the room he had seen on the second floor of the temple on the ruins of Heiyan Island was also decorated in this way.

"It seems that this is the central control room of the Star Refining Tower."

Lin Lichuan muttered, and his eyes turned to the three chairs in front of the console with his back facing him. A trace of pale could be vaguely seen at the corners.

The situation in front of him was particularly evident. He carefully came to the front of the three chairs and looked closely. This indeed looked like this flashed across his face.

Sitting motionlessly on the chair, there were three white horns with their heads, and their bones were emitting a white luster in the dim light, with a bone with an unspeakable charm.

The skeletons of evil demons outside the sky!

No, they should be called the skeletons of the Star Clan now.

He once saw a star source in the temple on the ruins of Heiyan Island. The bones were refined and the star source is still lying in his backpack.

"Are the on-duty personnel..."

After thinking about it, Lin Lichuan put three bones into his backpack.

This is a three-star source, but now the heavenly punishment is not around. He does not have the right means to refine the bones, so he can only put them away first and then deal with them later.

After putting away the bones, he continued to look for hidden star energy reagents. Soon, he found a drawer-like groove at the bottom of the console. When he opened it, he saw a row of star energy reagents lying quietly inside, with a total of eight bottles.

Seven bottles were exactly the same as the primary star energy reagent he obtained on the fourth layer. The liquid contained in the other bottle was thicker than other reagents. When it was still, it looked like a top-notch red crystal, which was particularly beautiful.

"Is this a higher-level star energy reagent?" Lin Lichuan picked up the reagent and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw that the words "intermediate star energy reagent" were marked on the surface of the reagent bottle.

It's strange that it is obviously a different civilization, but the star tribe is exactly the same as the ones used by the mainland human race in terms of writing and language. I don't know if there was a certain origin between the two a long time ago.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lichuan shook his head and calmed his thoughts, put away the star energy reagent, and was about to continue looking for any other hidden objects. His ears suddenly moved and he heard extremely slight footsteps coming from outside.

"Achuan?"

Before he could react, Lu Qiu's unique gentle voice rang out.

Lin Lichuan relaxed his tense body and replied loudly: "It's me."

After the words came to an end, a figure flashed in front of him, and Lu Qiu instantly appeared in front of him.

The instant movement of the space system!

Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that Lu Qiu's space-based superpowers were not single.

"Sure enough, I just thought that you should come to the fifth floor than I did in the morning. The trials on the first four floors were a bit unfriendly to those who were non-physical reinforcement systems like me." Lu Qiu chuckled. After saying this, she looked around her eyes and a hint of surprise flashed across her delicate face, "Is this the central control room of the Star Refining Tower?"

"It should be true." Lin Lichuan said.

"Then we are lucky!" Lu Qiu's eyes lit up and his eyes looked at the console with bright eyes. "There should be a control hub on it, and the things inside may be the biggest gain of our trip to ruins."

Lin Lichuan became interested and asked curiously: "What is it?"

"I have seen a high-level concentrated energy called a star core. In some extremely dense information, the energy-driven core of any large building built by the star family is usually a star core, which contains a large amount of meteorite energy. Only this high-level energy core can support the survival of star disaster ruins and many star beasts for thousands of years." Lu Qiu explained.

After hearing this, Lin Lichuan suddenly showed a strange look: "The star core you are talking about is not a dark gold color, the size of a basketball, like a stone, right?"

"Although I have never seen a star core with my own eyes, it is indeed described in the information." Lu Qiu replied in a daze, looking at Lin Lichuan in surprise, and then suddenly reacted, "There are star cores in the temples on the ruins of Heiyan Island?"

“It does.”

Lin Lichuan said as he took out the star core from his backpack. Because the meteorite energy contained inside was sucked dry, the dark gold color on the surface of the star core became extremely dim, as if it was covered with a layer of gray.

Lu Qiu's eyes shinyly took over the star core and looked at it curiously.

At this moment, her exploratory spirit as a researcher and her curiosity about unknown strange things were completely aroused. She just hugged the star core and observed it for a while. During this period, she kept taking out various small instruments from the storage space for observation.

Lin Lichuan, who had never seen a girl look like this, stood by and watched with interest without making any noise to disturb her.

After five or six minutes, Lu Qiu temporarily finished the observation. He raised his head and apologized to Lin Lichuan: "Sorry, I'm a little fascinated."

"It's okay." Lin Lichuan shook his head, "If you are interested in star cores, you can give it to you. Anyway, this thing is useless to put in my hands."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiu thought about it, but did not politely, nodded and chuckled, "Thank you."

After happily putting away the star core, Lu Qiu turned to look at the console, and a deep thought appeared in his eyes, and slowly said: "I am not familiar with the Star Clan's console and don't know the specific location of the control hub. If you use violent means to disassemble the entire console, it may cause damage to the things inside the control hub."

"No need to disassemble the entire thing, I know the specific location." Lin Lichuan glanced at the tip in the lower right corner of his vision, and strode to the left side of the console. With a thought, the blade in his hand instantly turned into countless cherry blossoms, rushing to the wall close to the console, and a metal square plate about thirty centimeters away from the table, drilling into the gap between the square plates.

As Lu Qiu looked at him in surprise, a large number of dazzling Mars burst out from the gap. As countless cherry blossoms were continuously split, the metal square plate finally snuggled and fell off the wall, revealing the hollow dark grid inside.

There is a circle inside the dark grid, and a dark golden square the size of a basketball is placed on the top of the ring, exactly the same as the star core given by Lin Lichuan to Lu Qiu, but the color is brighter, and it is obvious that the energy inside has not been exhausted.

Seeing this, Lin Lichuan was immediately delighted and stepped forward to take down the star core from the secret grid. With the slightest movement of his mind, he immediately felt a warm current flowing into his palm that was in contact with the star core.

However, in just 1 second, the value of the crystal column on the personal interface jumped up five times, adding 5 crystals.

"From the speed of the increase in crystal stone, the meteorite energy contained in this star core is undoubtedly far greater than the previous one." Looking at the scene where the increase in crystal stone, Lin Lichuan suddenly felt ecstasy in his heart.

The last time the star core brought him more than 3,000 crystals, and now the one in his hand obviously has more meteorite energy left. If it can be absorbed, the crystals he brought him will definitely be far more than the value of 3,000.

Restraining the surging emotions in his heart, Lin Lichuan turned to look at Lu Qiu, thinking about what conditions to trade with the girl so that she could give the star core to herself, but heard the girl whisper: "Then let this star core be for you Achuan."

Lin Lichuan was stunned.

"This star verification is very important to you." Lu Qiu looked at him with a smile.

Judging from her expression, it was obvious that Lin Lichuan had some way to absorb the energy of meteorites in the star core.

Lin Lichuan didn't hide it, and nodded and admitted it directly, saying a little hesitantly: "But you..."

"I can't use the energy in the star core, so this thing is useless to me." Lu Qiu smiled, "Besides, I'm not without gains."

After saying that, she took a step forward, reached out to explore the secret space, and soon she retracted her palm, and a small and exquisite chip was added to the palm of her palm.

"This control chip is a real treasure to me." Lu Qiu looked at the chip, and his eyes flashed with a light of surprise and joy. "This control chip of the Star Refining Tower stores a large amount of precious information about the Star Clan. If it can be interpreted, our understanding of the Star Clan will be greatly deepened, and it is even possible to obtain some of the technology of the Star Clan to create biochemical beasts!"

Lu Qiu's tone was filled with unconcealed surprises. This was a loss of composure for her who was usually extremely calm and steady. However, Lin Lichuan could understand that, not to mention anything else, the technology of the Star Clan to create biochemical beasts is so precious and rare, even if it is only part of it, it is a priceless treasure for a researcher.

What's more, if she could crack and master the technology of using meteorite stones to create biochemical beasts, it would be an unquestionable huge wealth for her family. No wonder she had such a performance.

However, just as the meteorite energy in the star core is useless to Lu Qiu, the information in the control chip is also like a waste to Lin Lichuan, and even if he is given it, it cannot be used. The two of them just take their own needs.

When Lu Qiu came back from his surprise, Lin Lichuan told her about the skeletons of the star clan and the star energy reagent.

According to the agreement, the two men got harvests in the ruins, and according to the proportion of Lin Lichuansi and Lu Qiuliu, he naturally would not hide it from this point.

Lu Qiu didn't care. After hearing this, he just nodded, showing his complete trust in Lin Lichuan.

Afterwards, the two searched the control room again, and after confirming that there were no other hidden treasures, they decided to leave.

"Speaking of this, isn't the average combat power of the Star Clan people very strong?"

On the way down the tower floor, Lin Lichuan suddenly spoke.

Whether it is the many strange beasts and star beasts outside the Star Refining Tower or the trials inside the tower, it is not something that people below the knight level can handle. Even if the Morning Star Knight with a biological energy level of only level 21 is not likely to pass the trial. At least you must have a level 22 to be able to pass the level 80% sure.

In other words, most of the bioenergy levels of those who can participate in the trial will not be lower than level 22.

If this is nothing, then coupled with the age limit that this ruin cannot be accessed by the age of over twenty years, it is terrifying to think about it carefully.

If this is the general norm of the Star Clan, wouldn’t that mean that all the adult warriors of the Star Clan have at least the strength of the Morning Star Knight?

"Although I don't want to admit this, according to the information I have received in the past, this is very likely to be true. Adult Star Clan warriors are likely to have generally knight-level combat power, and in their power system division, they are only the lowest-level star." Lu Qiu replied with a serious expression, and then smiled again, "But luckily, the Star Clan population seems to be small, far less than our human race. Their reproduction rate is extremely low. Perhaps this is the price of high individual strength."

Lin Lichuan's expression slightly relaxed. Yes, if the Star Clan really had no weaknesses, it would have conquered the entire continent a thousand years ago.

"No wonder the Star Clan created so many star beasts and strange beasts, it turned out to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient manpower."
