The Mystic Water Crocodile's Strength

Inside the cave dwelling.

After dismissing the three demons, Qin Ming immediately took out the Tai Jin Ore and began studying it carefully.

According to Old Demon Qingyang, this stone's true purpose was not for artifact refinement, but for tempering the body.

He casually cast a spell and clenched it in his hand. Even with a body-tempering cultivation comparable to Perfected Void Refinement, he could not easily crush it. Its hardness was self-evident.

Moreover, according to the three demons, this stone was produced only in certain areas under the Golden Scale Clan's jurisdiction. Only demon races with special bloodlines, such as the Liao Mountain Demon Boar Clan and the Sword Tiger Clan, could excavate and mine it, and even then, finding traces of it was possible only by chance.

Qin Ming had not expected that such an opportunity was hidden in the region where he currently resided.

He immediately summoned the Devouring Sky Rat and had it dig and search beneath Nameless Island, but it found no trace of Tai Jin Ore.

"Looks like this rare spirit mine is only found in small quantities on Ox Demon Mountain."

Qin Ming pondered for a moment, then had the Devouring Sky Rat return to the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Immediately afterward.

Following the purification secret method taught by Old Demon Qingyang, he summoned the Primordial Poison Flame and began attempting to purify the spirit ore.

Under the smelting of the Mid-Grade Seventh Rank Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, more than ten incomparably hard pieces of Tai Jin Ore melted in an instant.

Qin Ming formed hand seals, sending one rune after another into the molten golden slurry.

He then took out a specially made jade bottle and began collecting the legendary Tai Jin Profound Essence.

In an instant.
