Lin Ming extracted a trace of the Ye Family’s Yang Fire and fed it to his Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, then explored the Earth Eye to discover a dangerous mass of condensed fire energy blocking its depths. He left off carefully assessing the volatile obstruction, which threatened to explode if disturbed.

• Lin Ming drew a faint blood-red Earth Core Fire Seedling from the Earth Eye, and it combined with the altar’s light to form the white Yang Fire.
• Lin Ming refined the Yang Fire with his Soul Power and fed it to the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, strengthening it and confirming that it could help the flame evolve.

Lin Ming found the Earth Heart Fire Pearl at the center of the volatile blood-red liquid in the Earth Eye and risked his Soul Power to retrieve it. He escaped the pursuing energy torrent and secured the pearl in his hand.

• Lin Ming sealed the violently surging Earth Eye with the black stone stele and the altar’s beams of light, then examined the Earth Heart Fire Pearl.
• Lin Ming discovered that the pearl attracted fire energy and produced abundant Yang Fire, which he fed to the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire until it reached saturation and began transforming.
