Chapter 50

These Spirit Stone powders are extremely fine, much finer than flour.

Shan Heyuan held his breath and gently swept with the broom, but the resulting dust still scattered everywhere.

This situation is quite infuriating.

Shan Heyuan didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. He subconsciously inhaled the powder from his Dantian, just like inhaling Spirit Plant.

Unexpectedly, the Dantian, which was originally not meant for clutter, easily accepted the dust.

With just a thought, the dust on the ground vanished without a trace.

Shan Heyuan then put the broom inside.

Dantian accepted the broom effortlessly.

The small, exquisite broom lay beneath the Illusionless Tree, as if it had remained there since time immemorial.

Shan Heyuan was shocked. He picked up a piece of ore from the side and stuffed it back in.

Similarly, everything went very smoothly this time.

Shan Heyuan: "Brother Shen, it seems my Dantian has turned into a storage Law Artifact; I can put anything inside."

Shen Duheng had been watching the whole time, and seeing this, he handed over the ordinary spirit sword in his hand. "Try releasing the spirit sword, see if it works?"

Without saying a word, Shan Heyuan stuffed the spirit sword in as well.

This time, there were no obstacles as well.

Shen Duheng: "I'll ask you to channel some Spiritual Power me. See if you can absorb mine as well?"

Shan Heyuan nodded seriously. "Okay."

A cultivator's Spiritual Power originates from their Dantian, essentially being controlled by the cultivator at one end. Unless the cultivator actively cuts off the flow, this Spiritual Power is relatively easy to retract.

It is truly rare that Shan Heyuan can now simply use his inner cultivation technique to open his Dantian and devour the Spiritual Power of Nascent Soul Cultivator.

After swallowing it, he was still eager to try. "Brother Shen, why don't you send me a Little Sword, and I'll see if I can swallow your sword move?"

Shen Duheng refused. "This won't do. Don't rashly accept a sword cultivator's sword moves."

Shan Heyuan: "Then forget it."

Shan Heyuan collected all the Spirit Stone spirit stones into his Dantian. Looking around, he saw that the mine tunnel was empty; there was nothing left.

It's estimated that even if another powerful figure came, they wouldn't be able to find any trace of them in the mine tunnels.

Shan Heyuan was satisfied and said to Shen Duheng, "Shall we go?"

"Walk."

They left the Sand Terrace Mine and went up to the surface, where the sun shone down from above.

Shan Heyuan squinted, staring directly at the sun.

The sun in the sky was far more powerful than the Golden Core in his Dantian, yet his Golden Core possessed some of the sun's aura.

If the Pu Core Fire had burned even brighter, the aura of the sun would have been even stronger.

Shan Heyuan stood still and immediately adjusted the Golden Core in his Dantian.

He channeled his Spiritual Power, making the Golden Core burn even brighter.

The firelight illuminated the Dantian, and the leaves of the Illusionless Tree and other Spirit Plant unfurled, facing the direction of the Golden Core.

Tiny water vapors were evaporated by the firelight, rising into the air and turning into thin, snow-white clouds. Perhaps one day, they will become real clouds.

They left the Sand Terrace Mine and went to find Yang Ji.

Yang Ji's little courtyard has changed dramatically.

He no longer drinks in bed, but instead built a stove in the yard.

Something was clearly burning inside the furnace, with wisps of black smoke rising from the vents on top.

The terrifying heat caused any monks passing by to give way.

This time, it was Shan Heyuan who knocked on the door.

Yang Ji shouted from inside, "The door isn't protected; just come in!"

Shan Heyuan pushed open the door and saw Yang Ji, shirtless and wearing only a pair of trousers, channeling Spiritual Power into the Conflagration Talisman, making the furnace glow red-hot.

Hearing the knock, he turned around and saw Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng: "Senior Shen, Young Friend Shan, you're back?"

Shan Heyuan nodded. "Senior Yang Ji."

Yang Ji: "So fast? Have you found the spirit fire you wanted?"

Shan Heyuan nodded again, and seeing him multitasking like this, she asked somewhat nervously, "What are you practicing? Will talking disturb you?"

"No need to disturb you, it's just the Heaven-Resembling Stone you gave me, all I need to do is refine it..." Yang Ji only belatedly realized after saying this that Shan Heyuan was already Core Formation Cultivator, and immediately exclaimed, "Young Friend Shan, you've successfully Core Formation?"

Shan Heyuan: "Yes, we came out this time to find an opportunity to Core Formation."

"Don't try to fool me. Didn't you come out here to find the Spirit Fire?" Yang Ji incredulously. "How come you Core Formation so easily?"

Shan Heyuan: "The purpose of searching for the spiritual fire is to Core Formation."

Shan Heyuan's mood had been fluctuating wildly these past few days, with highs and lows. It was rare for him to have such a casual conversation with Yang Ji, so he smiled and asked, "Senior Yang Ji, do you need me to help you refine it?"

Having suffered such a severe shock, Yang Ji had lost all patience for refining the Heaven-Resembling Stone: "Do you have any experience?"

"If it's just refining materials, then I have some experience." Seeing that Shen Duheng Shan Heyuan to Yang Ji's side. "I've refined Fertilizer Pill before, and I have a good grasp of the heat."

Yang Ji immediately stepped aside. "Then you come here, let me see how your spirit fire is. You subdued the Pu Core Fire, right?"

Shan Heyuan nodded. "Yes, the Core Formation grade Pu Core Fire should be enough to refine the Core Formation grade Heaven-Resembling Stone."

This was also the first time Shan Heyuan had tried using Pu Core Fire to refine anything.

The Pu Core Fire was still burning fiercely within his Golden Core. He carefully extracted a wisp of flame and catalyzed it with Spiritual Qi.

When he moved the flame to his fingertips, the flame immediately shot up half a meter high.

Both he and Yang Ji were startled.

Fortunately, Shan Heyuan had already completely refined the Pu Core Fire, so the Pu Core Fire wouldn't burn anything on his body, while Yang Ji was already bald and had nothing to burn.

Therefore, this minor loss of control did not cause any damage.

Shan Heyuan suddenly understood why Yang Ji was bald.

He glanced at the shiny bald head, and before Yang Ji protest, he quickly moved the Pu Core Fire to the bottom of the furnace.

The Pu Core Fire licked at the bottom of the furnace and blazed fiercely.

The even more terrifying temperature caused the three people present to change their expressions slightly. Before the furnace could even react, the mud and sand beneath it melted first, turning into translucent crystals.

Immediately afterwards, the furnace turned bright red, and a subtle aroma emanated from it.

Yang Ji glanced at the internal inspection hole on the side of the furnace and said, "The Heaven-Resembling Stone has begun to melt!"

Shan Heyuan immediately asked, "Do you need me to increase the firepower?"

"No, no need," Yang Ji quickly stopped him. "If you increase the heat any further, my furnace will melt. Your Pu Core Fire is really effective; I've been burning it for over two days, and the Heaven-Resembling Stone hasn't shown any signs of life, but it's about to melt as soon as you arrive."

Shan Heyuan smiled modestly.

Yang Ji couldn't help but ask, "You've been in the mine for so long, do you have any other Pu Core Fire?" He wanted to get one too.

Shen Duheng: "You have Fire Spirit Root?"

Yang Ji shook his head.

Shen Duheng: "You have Fire Spirit Root within you?"

Yang Ji shook his head again and touched his nose. "I am a pure Single Spirit Root cultivator, with Metal Spirit Root."

Shen Duheng sneered slightly, "Then why don't you start a fire, hoping to burn yourself to death?"

Chapter 50

Yang Ji appeared somewhat afraid of Shen Duheng, or more accurately, he felt awe.

Even with his mischievous personality, he couldn't be mischievous in front of Shen Duheng.

It was only at this moment that Shan Heyuan realized that Shen Duheng only showed his approachable side in front of him.

Shan Heyuan glanced at Yang Ji, who was behaving obediently and Yang Ji as aggrieved as a child, and continued to carefully refine the Heaven-Resembling Stone.

As he said, he has some experience in refining materials.

Heaven-Resembling Stone, he carefully utilized the property that different impurities have different melting points to separate them.
