This Pu Core Fire was too vibrant, and they were destined to be together. After missing it, Shan Heyuan wasn't sure if he could find another spirit fire as suitable as it was.

Shen Duheng stared at him, assessed for two seconds, and said, "Alright, I'll protect you. If anything unexpected happens, I'll interrupt you immediately."

Shan Heyuan nodded, took a deep breath, and turned to Pu Core Fire.

When Pu Core Fire met his gaze, it swayed in place and chirped twice, seemingly indicating that he should give it some more Spiritual Power.

Shan Heyuan stared at the Pu Core Fire and carefully released his Spiritual Power towards it.

The Pu Core Fire joyfully burned away all his Spiritual Power.

Shan Heyuan slowly withdrew his Spiritual Power, and the Pu Core Fire followed his Spiritual Power, burning all the way to his side.

Just as it was about to burn him, the Pu Core Fire suddenly stopped, tilting its pointed flames upwards in confusion. "Chirp?"

Shan Heyuan smiled nervously and communicated with Pu Core Fire: "If you want to come with me and consume my Spiritual Power every day, you must be refined by me and become a part of me until I die. Only then can you become an unowned spiritual fire again."

The Pu Core Fire hung in front of him, as if he were considering something.

Shan Heyuan didn't actually know if Pu Core Fire had enough intelligence to consider this matter.

However, it's clear that it has its own ideas.

Shan Heyuan the amount of Spiritual Power.

A powerful Spiritual Power permeated his body.

After waiting for a while, Pu Core Fire seemed to finally lose patience and pounced on him with a "squeak," instantly turning him into a large fireball.

During his search for spirit fire, Shan Heyuan had read many books on refining spirit fire, and he was familiar with the refining process.

The moment the Pu Core Fire touched his meridians, he trembled, immediately sat down cross-legged, and quickly activated his Spiritual Power to envelop the Pu Core Fire.

The Pu Core Fire burned his Spiritual Power fiercely, yet it could not burn it out.

Gradually, the Pu Core Fire was imbued with the aura of Shan Heyuan's Spiritual Power and was assimilated by him little by little.

For cultivators, spiritual fire is a truly foreign object, and being burned by it is extremely dangerous.

Faced with this situation, Shan Heyuan was extremely cautious and prudent.

Ignoring the loss of Spiritual Power, he tried his best to Spiritual Power it and envelop the Pu Core Fire.

As long as there is Spiritual Power to isolate him, the Pu Core Fire will not actually burn him.

However, the Pu Core Fire at the Middle Core Formation Stage was simply too powerful, burning his Spiritual Power extremely quickly.

At the beginning, Shan Heyuan was able to control the overall situation, keeping the Pu Core Fire under the layers of Spiritual Power.

Afterwards, the Pu Core Fire burned in his meridians. He no longer cared about carefully wrapping the Pu Core Fire and refining it. Instead, he directly pressed his Spiritual Power onto the Pu Core Fire.

The Pu Core Fire surged wildly through his meridians, then suddenly rushed into his Dantian.

His Dantian is now quite large, filled with Spiritual Power.

As soon as the Pu Core Fire fell inside, it burst into flames with a "boom".

The intense heat caused the Spirit Plant in his Dantian to curl and wither, and Spirit Plant leaves turned from emerald green to dark green—a sign that it was about to be cooked.

Shan Heyuan was startled and opened his eyes abruptly, hurriedly throwing the Spirit Plant out of his Dantian.

The other Spirit Plant were thrown away smoothly, and even the Golden Silk Dense Moss that covered his Dantian was thrown out. However, the broken sword clung tightly to his Dantian, and the four small Lightning-Struck Wood Sprout clamped onto the walls of his Dantian like clamps.

Shan Heyuan felt an indescribable soreness rising in his Dantian, especially when he moved the broken sword. The soreness from inside his body made him unable to sit still.

He tried twice, but couldn't concentrate, so he had to let the broken sword go.

At that moment, he didn't even care whether the broken sword would burn.

Perhaps there was a premonition in the Unseen that Broken Sword would be alright.

The Pu Core Fire burned in his Dantian, gradually merging with his Spiritual Power, and its color changed from platinum with a ring of orange-red to an overall orange-red.

Shan Heyuan felt that he was gaining more and more control over the Pu Core Fire in his Dantian.

Perhaps because the Pu Core Fire did not confront him throughout the process, even when it burned his Spiritual Power, it was only due to the nature of the flames, rather than actively attacking him, so the refining process went particularly smoothly.

At a certain moment, Shan Heyuan suddenly felt that the Pu Core Fire had been completely refined by him.

He could control the Pu Core Fire as if it were Spiritual Power.

Shan Heyuan was filled with joy.

Realizing this, before he could even try to circulate the newly refined spiritual fire, the Spiritual Power in his Dantian suddenly "jumped," like a flame being stirred by the wind.

Immediately afterwards, the Spiritual Power burned brighter and brighter.

It directly turned his Dantian into a sea of fire.

As the Spiritual Power burned, the base at the bottom of the Dantian began to melt, turning into some kind of liquid.

This "liquid" flowed quietly at the bottom of the Dantian, and then gradually gathered up again.

Shan Heyuan sat cross-legged on the ground, his face covered in sweat.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the horrifying sensation of the base melting away.

Gradually, not only the base, but also the Spiritual Power began to burn away.

The Spiritual Power that had been surging through his meridians day and night finally disappeared, relieving him of the discomfort.

All the Spiritual Power energy flowed along the meridians and eventually converged in the Dantian.

The Spiritual Power liquid gradually accumulated in his Dantian.

The Pu Core Fire continued to burn, turning the Spiritual Power liquid a golden hue and burning away all the impurities.

The liquid formed from the melting of the base was encased at the innermost layer, while the Spiritual Power fluid wrapped around the outer layer, forming a shell.

Pu Core Fire burned, the liquid in his Dantian grew smaller and more concentrated.

Finally, after the Spiritual Power liquid burned to a certain degree, Shan Heyuan could see through his inner vision that it had turned into a sphere, a golden Golden Core!

He's Core Formation!

Shan Heyuan gritted his teeth, as if they were about to shatter.

The instant the Golden Core was formed, the Pu Core Fire flowing through the meridians was suddenly absorbed into the Golden Core.

Shan Heyuan's meridians suddenly became completely empty, as if nothing had ever existed there.

The next moment, the empty meridians suddenly began to draw Spiritual Power from all directions.

Countless Spiritual Power from heaven and earth roared in, almost crashing into his meridians.

Shen Duheng, who was protecting him from the side, noticed that the Spiritual Power around him had been absorbed into a vacuum, and his expression changed slightly.

Shen Duheng reacted quickly, taking out three Top-Grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring and gently tossing them around Shan Heyuan, forming a Shan Heyuan that surrounded him.

At the same time, Shen Duheng channeled his Spiritual Power into the Spirit Stone, activating the Spiritual Power inherent in the Spirit Stone itself.

The Spiritual Power contained in the Top-Grade Spirit Stone was extremely high. Once activated, it immediately filled the entire mine shaft and dissipated along the mine tunnel.

Before the Spiritual Power could dissipate into the mine tunnels, the suction force emanating from Shan Heyuan completely absorbed the Spiritual Power emitted by the Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

A large amount of Spiritual Power was absorbed into Shan Heyuan's body and stored in his Dantian.

His Dantian expanded rapidly, like an inflated balloon.

Shan Heyuan carefully stabilized his fragile Dantian to prevent Dantian from collapsing.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he paid no attention to what was happening outside.

Fortunately, there was Shen Duheng.

At a certain moment, the three Top-Grade Spirit Stones were sucked away and shattered simultaneously with a "crack".

Seeing this, Shen Duheng flicked his wrist and threw out three more top- Top-Grade Spirit Stone to replace the three that had been shattered into dust.

Unlike the three top-grade earth-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stone from last time, these three top- Top-Grade Spirit Stone are water-attribute.

Soon, the three Top-Grade Spirit Stone also shattered.

Shen Duheng threw out three top-grade wood-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Next are the fire and metal attributes.

After all fifteen Top-Grade Spirit Stone were absorbed, Shan Heyuan's meridians continued to frantically absorb Spiritual Power.

Shen Duheng threw out three more white, Top-Grade Spirit Stone, this time Top-Grade Spirit Stone with spatial attributes.
