After an hour, and several repeated adjustments to the depth of his probing, Chen Yang finally sensed a piece of information that delighted him at the edge of his consciousness.
That scorching, blazing aura was undoubtedly the Blazing Spirit Mine!
"Excellent, excellent! Just as Old Yang said, this spirit mine really is extending outward."
