The first time he refined the Twenty-Four Pearls, his hands were inevitably unfamiliar with the process. Fortunately, the Yama Devouring Supernatural Ability allowed him to devour the experience gained from refining the Twenty-Four Pearls.
He failed several times along the way, but after promptly learning from those mistakes, things soon progressed smoothly.
In the end, it took him six days to refine all twenty-four bright pearls.
At the summit of Weizhi Peak, before the thatched wooden cabin.
Twenty-four silver spheres floated beneath the eaves, radiating a gentle pearly-white glow like twenty-four fluorescent bath lamps. Strands of Heavenly Star Vital Qi seeped out from within the pearls.
"The Twenty-Four Pearls can indeed draw in Heavenly Star Vital Qi, but there's just too little of it." Chen Mu frowned slightly.
The pearls had come from the Lesser Cosmic Stars Formation and could draw in the stellar vital qi within Tianhe Grotto-Heaven.
But now that they were outside the grotto-heaven, the pearls were separated from the starry sky overhead by who knew how many billions upon billions of miles. They could not resonate with the Celestial Stars above and could only gather the scattered Heavenly Star Vital Qi nearby.
"If I can find a way to connect these pearls to the stars in the sky, perhaps they can draw in even more Heavenly Star Vital Qi." Chen Mu fell into thought.
As for something that could connect with the stars in the sky, there happened to be a ready-made option right before him.
He turned to look at the small stream west of the thatched cottage.
The stream originated from the underground water beneath Weizhi Peak and contained traces of Earth Spirit Vital Qi.
That vital qi had been formed when the Earth Vein of Weizhi Peak transformed Heavenly Star Vital Qi.
