Copper Source Essence

Inside the courtyard, Lin Ming sat down on a stone bench.

Looking up at the crescent moon and the starry sky, Lin Ming felt an extraordinary sense of peace. At this moment, Lin Ming emptied his mind, thinking of nothing, simply gazing at the scene, allowing himself to blend into this tranquil and peaceful environment.

As Lin Ming emptied his mind and enjoyed this peaceful moment, his Spiritual Strength was slowly changing. The changes in Lin Ming 'Consciousness Sea were mainly reflected in two aspects.

One is that it adds a slight increase to Spirituality Spiritual Strength that already possesses a bit of Spirituality. Don't underestimate this slight increase in Spirituality; it is indeed very crucial. Having Spirituality Spiritual Strength is like suddenly having an officer to guide you in a chaotic army.

If we only consider this officer, his actual combat ability is probably not as good as that of a soldier with combat experience, so his presence or absence would have little impact.

However, the ability of an officer lies not in fighting personally, but in commanding his troops. Especially in chaotic armies, the fighting power of an army under the unified command of an officer is many times greater than that of a chaotic army.

With the increase in his Soul Power and Spirituality, Lin Ming will suddenly find it much easier to Pill Refining.

Secondly, Lin Ming's soul Spiritual Strength were purified. Lin Ming had absorbed the Remnant Soul of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion some time ago, which increased his soul and improved his Spiritual Strength.

Although the Remnant Soul of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion was considered a pure Soul Origin at the time, which could be absorbed by people to strengthen their own soul and Spiritual Strength, it was still an external Soul Origin, and moreover, it was the Soul Origin of Magical Beasts, which was somewhat incompatible with Lin Ming's Soul Origin.

This is an inappropriate point, although it's not immediately apparent, it is indeed true.

This is similar to the tap water used in your home in your previous life. To the naked eye, it looks very clear and pure. But once you filter the tap water or boil and cool it, you can find impurities and limescale in it.

Drinking tap water with impurities and limescale occasionally won't cause any problems. However, if you drink tap water directly without treatment for a long time, these impurities and limescale will accumulate in your body. The mildest consequence is kidney stones, and in severe cases, it can lead to infections of certain organs.

Lin Ming 'Consciousness Sea Soul Origin is currently undergoing Purified, much like filtering tap water or boiling and cooling it.

This change, while not bringing Lin Ming any significant improvement at this stage, can prevent various problems from arising when he tries to enhance his Soul Power in the future.

Of course, Lin Ming can also sense some of the purity of the Soul Origin at this stage. Just like how tap water tastes better after being filtered or boiled and cooled before drinking.

Lin Ming's Soul Origin became pure, and he felt more relaxed. He was able to mobilize his soul and use his Spiritual Strength more smoothly and quickly.

Lin Ming sat there until late at night before waking up.

When Lin Ming woke up, he felt completely relaxed. The fatigue from refining pills all day had disappeared, and he was full of energy.

"It seems that relaxing once in a while and looking at the stars is a pretty good thing!" Lin Ming couldn't help but say after feeling the lightness in his body.

Lin Ming is unaware of the changes in his soul within his Consciousness Sea, so he simply believes that he achieved this relaxed feeling by emptying his mind and relaxing himself.

Although the change in my soul only occurred when I cleared my mind and relaxed, I will not feel this sense of ease every time I clear my mind and relax in the future.

While simply clearing your mind and relaxing can make you feel better, I don't think it would be as intense as this.

Now full of energy, Lin Ming didn't plan to go back to his room and immediately began cultivating Cross-legged. As dawn approached, another drop of liquid energy was added to Lin Ming's dantian.

During this cultivation session, Lin Ming felt that his cultivation speed had increased by another 10%. Although he didn't know the specific reason, Lin Ming guessed that the increase in cultivation speed was related to the fact that he had emptied his mind earlier.

However, this is a good thing; if you don't understand it, you don't have to understand it. At his current cultivation speed, he should be able to break through to the Seven-Star Dou Master in at most half a month. With these thoughts in mind, Lin Ming once again immersed himself in cultivation.

A few days later, when Lin Ming arrived at the Alchemy Department, Steward Yang called out to Lin Ming. After a conversation with Steward Yang, Lin Ming learned that the final result of their Mine incident had been announced.

After Lin Ming and his group returned and reported the discovery to the academy, Lin Ming, based on his conjecture, and with Elder Huo's casual remark, the academy ultimately sent a Dou King Expert to conduct a final verification.

Upon arriving at the Mine, this Dou Wang did not immediately reveal himself but instead conducted a covert investigation. After several days of investigation, the Dou Wang indeed discovered Steward Song's secret. Later, after a series of interrogations, Steward Song confessed everything.

It turned out that after arriving at the Mine, Steward Song had been diligently supervising the work for the first six months. However, one day, six months later, an accidental discovery disrupted this peaceful situation.

That day, for some reason, Steward Song decided to visit the mine. During his exploration, everything was normal from morning to afternoon until evening when a Tier One Magical Beasts, a Red-tailed Fox, appeared not far from Steward Song, carrying a rabbit in its mouth.

Seeing this, Steward Song became interested. Relying on his Steward Song as a Da Dou Shi, he followed the Red-tailed Fox. After a while, the Red-tailed Fox disappeared into a patch of vines.

With the cultivation of Da Dou Shi, Steward Song was naturally not afraid of such a Tier One Magical Beasts. So, after arriving at the vines where the Crimson-tailed Fox had disappeared, he began to pull away the vines to investigate and see where the Red-tailed Fox had gone.

With the vines pulled aside, a hole large enough for one person to walk through was revealed in front of Steward Song.

Upon seeing the smooth walls of the opening, Steward Song knew that the cave was definitely not naturally formed. So, after Steward Song for a moment, he decided to go in and take a look.

Since the entrance to the cave is covered by vines, and even Tier One Red-tailed Fox can enter, there shouldn't be much danger. If I'm careful, I should be fine.

And so, Steward Song entered the cave. Before long, he saw the Red-tailed Fox that had entered the cave earlier, and next to it were two smaller Red-tailed Fox eating a rabbit.

Upon seeing humans enter their den, the Red-tailed Fox immediately launched an attack on Steward Song. However, the attack of a Tier One Magical Beasts was utterly useless against Steward Song, a Da Dou Shi. Steward Song easily dispatched the entire den of Red-tailed Fox.

After dealing with the Red-tailed Fox, Steward Song realized the cave wasn't over yet, so he continued deeper inside. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a Stone Door blocked his way.

Seeing the door, Steward Song became even more certain that the cave had been dug out by man. And the appearance of a cave within these mountains—wasn't that precisely where Treasure Hoard might lie?

At this moment, Steward Song felt that his opportunity had come, so after searching for a while, Steward Song found the mechanism to open the door in a stone wall.

After the Stone Door opened, Steward Song entered. Behind the Stone Door a slightly larger cave. There was no Treasure Hoard here as he had imagined, only a skeleton and a small opening in the middle of the cave, just big enough for one person to pass through. There was nothing else.

As Steward Song approached the skeleton, it turned to ashes before he could even touch it, scattering across the ground. However, after the skeleton turned to ashes, a necklace and a roll of Animal Skin were revealed.

After examining the necklace, Steward Song discovered that it could conceal one's cultivation level, so he accepted it. Then, Steward Song picked up the Animal Skin, opened it, and looked at the Animal Skin recorded inside.

After reading the description on the Animal Skin, Steward Song understood the purpose of the hole in the middle.

The Animal Skin hide recorded that the vein that Steward Song and his group were currently mining was discovered by the man who had passed away here long ago. Furthermore, after his investigation, he discovered that the copper vein might have nurtured Copper Source Essence at its source.

Copper Source Essence can be considered one of the top-tier materials in the world.

In the Dou Qi Continent, not only Heavenly Flames exist and there Heavenly Flame Ranking, which is also introduced in the original work, but there is also a ranking of Medicinal Cauldron by Alchemist, which is called the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.

The Heavenly Cauldron Ranking thirteen Medicinal Cauldron. These include Old Yao's Black Demon Cauldron and the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which is currently in Han Feng's possession and was obtained by Xiao Yan after killing Han Feng in the original novel.

In the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, there is a Medicinal Cauldron ranked fifth, called the Copper Source Cauldron. As you can tell from the name, the material used to forge it is Copper Source Essence.

The requirements for forming Copper Source Essence are extremely stringent. The "source" in the name Copper Source Essence does not mean origin, but rather Source Qi. It is the origin that can help people become emperors.

In ancient times, things were alright. Back then, the Dou Qi Continent was still connected to the Main World, and there was a large amount of Source Qi. However, since the passage between the Dou Qi Continent and the Main World was closed, the Source Qi has gradually been used up and depleted.

The last two complete Source Qi on the Dou Qi Continent were collected by the Tou She Ancient God. One was used for his own breakthrough to become an Emperor, and the other was used to refine the Emperor Pill Prototype. Therefore, there is no other Source Qi left on the Dou Qi Continent.

The Copper Source Essence here was formed before the Tou She Ancient God emperor, when it absorbed a trace of sparse Source Qi. Under this trace of sparse Source Qi, after countless years of accumulation and sedimentation, a piece of Copper Source Essence was born in modern times.

The person who passed away in the cave had calculated and found the place where the Copper Source Essence was born. He spent a lot of effort and finally opened a tunnel that led directly underground to the Copper Source Essence.

However, after he opened the tunnel, he discovered that the Copper Source Essence had not yet been fully formed. If he took it at that time, it would not be much better than ordinary copper ore, and it would also completely ruin the Copper Source Essence. So he waited for the Copper Source Essence to be fully formed.

However, he did not live to see the Copper Source Essence fully formed before his death.
