After leaving that land, He Buxian, the Fallen Black Phoenix, and Feng Changge began a short period of recuperation.

Although many things that happened in that land were hard to explain, it's all in the past now, and Lin Yu has recovered the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

Rhine originally thought that the Stone of Mending the Sky should be a whole, and the fragments of the Stone of Mending the Sky were the products after the Stone of Mending the Sky shattered, and should have similar power to the Stone of Mending the Sky.

However, as Lin Yu learned more about the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, he found it increasingly difficult to imagine what kind of power was contained within the alcohol in the real Heaven-Mending Stone.

Needless to say, this power must be extremely strong, otherwise it would not have been able to spread from the Dao Qi era to the Three Thousand Immortal Realms era.

Such a famous magical artifact, with its immense power, is actually just the most basic thing.

Lin Yu felt that everything he was experiencing was shrouded in an even bigger fog.

However, even after inquiring with the Hongmeng System, no further information could be obtained. Helpless, Lin Yu had no choice but to turn his attention back to the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment.

"Perhaps when the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone separated from it, they each took away the overall power of the Heaven-Mending Stone, which is why the power of the fragments is not the same," Lin Yu made another guess.

The reason why the fragment that the water droplet person brought with him did not fuse with the fragment of the sky-mending material in the jujube tree was probably because of the powerful adsorption capacity of the jujube tree.

The Water Drop Man may have refrained from making a move because he was worried that the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Slab within the Jujube Tree would drain all his power.

Of course, having one of the other fragments of the sky-mending technique absorbed was actually a good thing. Perhaps even the newly formed consciousness within the jujube tree would be inexplicably absorbed by the fragment.

If it's anything else, it's fine, but if it involves endangering their own consciousness, the Water Drop people become extremely cautious.

After all, based on their previous encounters, Lin Yu could see just how much the Heaven-Mending Fragment cared about his own consciousness.

If the jujube tree truly absorbs all the power of the sky-mending fragments possessed by the Water Drop Man, then his intelligence and consciousness will naturally be taken over by the sky-mending fragments within the jujube tree.

At that time, even the Water Droplets will find it difficult to continue controlling this intelligent consciousness and to preserve their spiritual intelligence.

This explains why the Water Droplings would let a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone remain right in front of them without absorbing its power, instead going to great lengths to snatch the fragment from Lin Yu.

The reason for this is likely largely due to the fact that the consciousness of the Heaven-Mending Fragment in Lin Yu's hand has been completely cleared away.

The Heaven-Mending Fragment in Lin Yu's hand came from the Phoenix Ancestral Sea. When Lin Yu obtained this Heaven-Mending Fragment, the spiritual power contained within it was still in its nascent stage, so erasing its consciousness was not complicated.

A single, mindless fragment of the sky-mending artifact holds immense appeal for beings like the Water Droplets.

Once the Water Droplet absorbs this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment from the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, it will impose its own intelligence and consciousness onto the fragment, thereby forming the power that dominates the two fragments.

However, because of its extremely special power, the jujube tree, despite lacking consciousness, was actually more difficult for the Water Droplets to deal with.

The Waterdrop Man was worried that if he rashly dealt with the fragments of sky-mending within the jujube tree, it might affect his consciousness!

The existence of both primary and secondary forces is not obvious, but in reality, it proves which force is more powerful.

Moreover, as time goes by, needless to say, the fragments of sky-mending within the jujube tree will eventually develop their own consciousness. At that time, it will only be a matter of time before the consciousness of the water droplet people disappears.

"I never imagined that the water droplet person could understand this." Lin Yu sighed inwardly. Being able to think to this extent was enough to prove that the water droplet person's consciousness had also developed to a certain level.

And all of this is undoubtedly the real purpose behind Waterdrop's decision to go the long way around.

After resting for a few days at the residence of Daoist Shouyang, Lin Yu and the others put the matter of purifying the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment with the primordial fire of Fengchang Pavilion on their agenda.

Feng Changge had already agreed to Lin Yu's request, so naturally he wouldn't refuse. The next day, he brought the gifts and arrived at Lin Yu's residence.

This time, Feng Changge brought out a very special furnace.

The furnace is entirely golden, with four exquisitely carved phoenixes on it, looking so lifelike that they seem ready to take flight at any moment under the blazing fire.

The flames in the furnace naturally came from the primordial fire of Fengchang Pavilion. Before arriving at Lin Yu's residence, Fengchang Pavilion had already put its primordial fire into the furnace.

This furnace is a treasure of their ancient Phoenix clan, specifically used to refine mutated magical artifacts.

In fact, long before Lin Yu discovered it, the ancient Phoenix clan had already discovered the special uses of their own flames, which is why such a treasure exists.

However, Feng Changge had never used his own primordial fire to refine any magical treasures before, so he was quite unfamiliar with this matter.

After explaining to Lin Yu, Lin Yu nodded without saying anything more. He took the water droplet figure out of his storage space and threw it into the furnace without any hesitation.

"I will absolutely not let you get away with this! You bitch..."

Faintly, Lin Yu seemed to hear the curses of the Water Drop Man. He didn't know where he had learned these vulgarities, but they were all extremely crude.

No matter how much the water droplet people cursed him, Lin Yu didn't care. He knew that no matter how eloquent the water droplet people were, they couldn't resist or stop the fate of his wisdom and consciousness being erased and purified.

The existence of the Water Droplet's intelligent consciousness has now replaced the attributes and consciousness of the Sky-Mending Fragment itself. Unless this intelligent consciousness, which does not belong to the Sky-Mending Stone, is expelled or refined, the Sky-Mending Fragment cannot be restored to its original form.

What Lin Yu wanted was a complete Heaven-Mending Stone, not a magical artifact with some inexplicable consciousness like this.

After completing the initial steps, Feng Changge did not immediately take action. Instead, it went through some formalities, which should be the unique sacrificial rituals of the ancient Phoenix Clan, the gist of which was to ask for the blessings of the ancestors.

He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix were also standing aside at the time. Seeing that Fengchang Pavilion had been busy for half a day without taking any action, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
