Chapter 305: The Fire Phosphorus Stone Vein

Although it was not the first time he had heard about Qin Heng’s story, Gu Dayong was still filled with anger. He slammed his wine cup heavily onto the table. That bastard Wei Ming is truly hateful!

Qin Heng’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a bone-chilling aura emanated from his body, causing the sweltering mine to instantly become much cooler. One day, I will definitely avenge myself on that villain!

After consoling Qin Heng with a few words, Gu Dayong looked at Xiao Fan again and said, Oh right, we’ve only been talking about ourselves. Junior Brother Xiao, it’s your turn to tell us your story.

Xiao Fan shook his head and smiled. There was nothing for him to hide anyway, as it had already become common knowledge within the Heavenly Star Sect. However, the moment he began speaking, his words were like a clap of thunder to Gu Dayong and Qin Heng.

I don’t know if I’ve offended the Mission Elder, but I have definitely offended another person. Xiao Fan’s expression turned cold as he met Gu Dayong and Qin Heng’s astonished gazes. Dragon Sword Star!

Pfft...

Qin Heng, who had just taken a fierce gulp of wine, almost choked when he heard the name Dragon Sword Star. The wine he had yet to swallow ended up spraying all over Gu Dayong’s face.

However, Gu Dayong did not seem to notice. He widened his tiny eyes and stared blankly at Xiao Fan.

Who was Dragon Sword Star? He was the true inheritor of the Heavenly Star Sect, the personal disciple of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Star Sect, and the future Sect Master. His talent was unmatched throughout history, and his strength was invincible.

Aside from legendary figures like the Sect Master of the Heavenly Star Sect, who wouldn’t tremble with fear when they saw him? Even the Mission Elder, despite his high position and authority, would have to lower his head in front of Dragon Sword Star.

For someone of Xiao Fan’s status, it was difficult for them to even meet such a figure, yet Xiao Fan had already offended Dragon Sword Star before he had even become an outer sect disciple.

Gu Dayong slowly stood up, wiped the wine off his face, and bowed deeply to Xiao Fan. Senior Brother Xiao... Big Brother Xiao... I’m very curious. How have you managed to stay alive until now?

Qin Heng also looked at Xiao Fan in shock. Dragon Sword Star was the idol of countless disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect. With a single call, he could command over half of the Heavenly Star Sect.

Offending Dragon Sword Star was equivalent to offending over half of the Heavenly Star Sect. This was much more serious than offending the Mission Elder. Perhaps from the moment Xiao Fan joined the Heavenly Star Sect, there had been countless people who wished for nothing more than to kill him.

Haha, if soldiers come, I’ll face them; if water comes, I’ll dam it! Xiao Fan smiled proudly, his face brimming with confidence.

However, killing intent was boiling within him. Even if Dragon Sword Star did not deal with him, he would not let Dragon Sword Star off. This was a grudge from his previous life and a fate in this life!

Fortunately, from the actions of Elder Yang, the First Elder of the inner sect, it seemed that Dragon Sword Star was not yet able to cover the sky with one hand. Otherwise, Xiao Fan would have long since lost his life.

This gave him a lot of time. Once he became a true inheritor disciple, it would be hard to say who would emerge victorious.

Just as Gu Dayong and Qin Heng were about to ask some more details, the door to the left of the hall opened, and a cold-faced youth walked out. He wore a blood-red robe and gave off a rather chilling aura.

Senior Brother Lu.

Gu Dayong and Qin Heng greeted him at the same time. Xiao Fan also cupped his hands in salute.

Lu Li had arrived at the mine the earliest, and his cultivation base was also the highest at the seventh level of the Spirit King Realm. However, he had an eccentric personality, was cold and arrogant, and looked down on Gu Dayong and Qin Heng.

After emerging from seclusion this time, he did not even look at the two of them. Instead, he fixed his cold gaze on Xiao Fan, snorted, and took to the skies, heading in the direction of the Heavenly Star Sect.

Now that Xiao Fan had arrived, it was time for him to return to the Heavenly Star Sect to hand in his mission.

Xiao Fan was slightly surprised as he watched Lu Li quickly disappear from sight.

This was his first time meeting Lu Li, and they had no previous grievances or hatred. However, the moment they met, the other party had developed killing intent toward him. Although this killing intent was very faint, Xiao Fan’s Soul Power was extremely powerful, so he had instantly and accurately sensed it.

Junior Brother Xiao, did you notice? That person is also one of Eldest Senior Brother’s men. Most of the Heavenly Star Sect belongs to Eldest Senior Brother. Gu Dayong pointed at Lu Li, who was flying away in the distance, and gave Xiao Fan a meaningful look.

Xiao Fan understood, but he still looked at the two of them in surprise. When others see me, they either avoid me like the plague or bear hostility toward me. But the two senior brothers are willing to get close to me. Aren’t you afraid?

Upon hearing this, Gu Dayong burst into laughter, and the fat on his stomach trembled non-stop.

My name may be Dayong, but I’m actually useless. Sooner or later, I’ll be leaving the Heavenly Star Sect anyway. What am I afraid of him for?

Qin Heng’s response was even more straightforward: Wei Ming is also one of Dragon Sword Star’s men!

Xiao Fan’s gaze was sharp. He could tell that the two before him were not merely paying lip service or trying to placate him, which couldn’t help but earn his respect.

Among the tens of thousands of disciples in the Heavenly Star Sect, those who weren’t afraid of Dragon Sword Star were indeed rare.

Why talk about this? Gu Dayong shook his head with a smile and then pulled Xiao Fan towards the mine. Come, Junior Brother Xiao, since you’ve just arrived, let me show you what the vein looks like, haha.

Xiao Fan didn’t refuse. As an alchemist, he was well aware of the value of Fire Phosphorus Stone and was eager to see it for himself.

Rock Star Mountain was vast, spanning dozens of miles, with the mine shaft starting from halfway up the mountain and extending downwards, almost piercing through the entire mountain.

Both being strong practitioners in the Spirit King Realm, they moved quickly. It was hard to say just how far they had gone when suddenly a series of hot air waves met them head-on in the deep part of the mine. Despite the absence of any lighting, the cave was illuminated with a fiery red glow.

Upon reaching the end, the space suddenly opened up into a huge cavern that stretched from the bottom to the top, piercing through Rock Star Mountain.

Beneath was a churning sea of magma, vast and seemingly endless, a terrifying red ocean. The fearsome temperature made even Xiao Fan shiver. Though his physical body was tougher than the finest precious artifacts, if he were to fall into it, he probably wouldn’t last long before burning to ashes.

Around the magma cavern, hundreds of cultivators were tirelessly mining, nearly hollowing out the massive volcano.

Most of these people were gathered from surrounding countries, possessing cultivation bases ranging from the True Martial Realm to the Heavenly Martial Realm. Those in the Qi Martial Realm probably couldn’t even reach the foot of Rock Star Mountain without being baked into mummies by the terrifying heat.

Even those cultivators in the True Martial Realm or Heavenly Martial Realm had to constantly maintain a protective shield of True Essence.

Despite the harsh environment, the Heavenly Star Sect offered generous rewards, mainly high-quality Precious Pills, which attracted many to mine here.

How about it, Brother Xiao, magnificent, isn’t it?

Gu Dayong looked at Xiao Fan with a teasing smile. He too had been taken aback by the vast magma and the terrifying heat when he first arrived.

Incredible. Such a massive volcano, I wonder how many tens of thousands of years it has existed! Xiao Fan was somewhat astonished. For a practitioner who had comprehended the mysteries of fire, cultivating here would yield twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, using this lava and earth fire for alchemy and artifact refining would also be greatly beneficial.

Chapter 306: Fire Phosphorus Stone

At this point, Xiao Fan suddenly remembered that he still had a core of a star. He had always wanted to forge it into a treasured sword, but due to the limitations of his cultivation level, he had been unable to refine it. Perhaps, with the help of the molten lava fire here, he could give it a try.

Following Gu Dayong’s lead, the two of them made their way down along the footpath repaired along the edge of the cavern. The mountain walls below were dotted with caves of various sizes—some large enough to span tens to hundreds of feet, and others just big enough to accommodate one person.

The formation of Fire Phosphorus Stone is somewhat different from Sky Star Stone; it doesn’t condense into individual entities, but is hidden within the thick mountain walls, mixed with ordinary rocks. It reveals itself only after being mined and refined.

Consequently, the speed of mining Fire Phosphorus Stone is naturally very slow. The Heavenly Star Sect has occupied this area for decades, but has only mined more than half so far.

In a huge cavern, there stood a massive bronze cauldron about a zhang high, requiring seven or eight people to encircle it. It resembled a dormant beast, quite magnificent.

Surrounding the cauldron was a powerful formation constantly generating scorching flames, burning the cauldron. Although the temperature was somewhat lower than that of the magma below, it was still enough to terrify practitioners of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

In front of the cauldron, two Heavenly Martial Realm practitioners were throwing huge rocks, mined by the workers, into it.

Under the fierce fire, the outer layer of ordinary rock quickly fell off, turning into ash, leaving only the stones emitting a reddish glow behind. Even in the face of the fierce fire, they showed no reaction, as if fish swimming into the sea, quite at ease, with the reddish glow on their surface becoming even more vibrant.

Xiao Fan raised his hand, and immediately, a fist-sized Fire Phosphorus Stone flew to him.

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Fan carefully felt the violent energy within the Fire Phosphorus Stone. A thought crossed his mind. The fire attribute energy within the Fire Phosphorus Stone was indeed very powerful. If used in alchemy, it could more quickly and deeply extract impurities from the ingredients, not only increasing the efficiency of alchemy but also enhancing the quality of the pills.

For an alchemist, Fire Phosphorus Stone is indeed an indispensable treasure.

However, Xiao Fan had already refined a True Fire Seal, which in terms of alchemy efficiency and quality, was much stronger than the Fire Phosphorus Stone.

What interested Xiao Fan was that the violent energy within the Fire Phosphorus Stone could not only be used in alchemy and artifact refining, enhancing the comprehension of fire-based mysteries of heaven and earth, but also in tempering the physical body.

However, Xiao Fan frowned because the strength of his physical body was much stronger than even the finest precious artifacts, making the effects of the Fire Phosphorus Stone on him not very noticeable.

Seeing Xiao Fan staring at the Fire Phosphorus Stone in a daze, Gu Dayong, understandingly smiling, said: If Junior Brother Xiao finds it useful, feel free to take some. It’s not a big deal.

In this godforsaken place, this is about the only thing of use.

The Fire Phosphorus Stone Vein produces about a thousand Fire Phosphorus Stones each month, which are handed over every three months, amounting to three or four thousand pieces. If a few dozen pieces were deducted from this, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Unfortunately, neither Gu Dayong nor Qin Heng were alchemists, nor did they comprehend the mysteries of the fire attribute, so they didn’t value the Fire Phosphorus Stones that much.

Gu Dayong was very generous, but Xiao Fan shook his head with a faint smile. It wasn’t that he was particularly honest and upright, but rather that he estimated that if he wanted to use the Fire Phosphorus Stones to cultivate the fifth level of the Nine Tribulations Indestructible Sword Body, he would need at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of them.

Deducting tens of thousands of Fire Phosphorus Stones, not to mention whether the Heavenly Star Sect would be furious, just extracting and refining them would take half a year’s time.

Therefore, Xiao Fan decisively gave up on the idea.

Seeing that Xiao Fan had politely refused, Gu Dayong didn’t take it to heart. Wiping the sweat from his face, he frowned and said: Let’s go, Junior Brother Xiao. This place is really hot and uncomfortable.

Gu Dayong was very fat, resembling a big grizzly bear. Normally, he would sweat at the slightest movement, let alone after walking for such a long time in the sweltering mine cave. He was already drenched in sweat.

Senior Brother Gu, you go back first. I’ll look around, Xiao Fan said considerately.

Seeing that Xiao Fan was not uncomfortable staying here, Gu Dayong went back. He really couldn’t stand the heat here.

Xiao Fan shook his head and smiled, continuing to walk downwards. He wanted to find a suitable place to refine the precious sword.

The further down he went, the more intense the heat became, and the temperature also rose.

After descending over a thousand zhang in a row, even with Xiao Fan’s strong physical body, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Sir, you can’t go any further, a miner kindly advised.

The temperature below was extremely high. Even for these Heavenly Martial Realm practitioners, even if they activated their protective True Essence, they wouldn’t dare to stay for long.

However, Xiao Fan remained unmoved, saying with a faint smile: It’s okay.

After saying that, Xiao Fan descended another thousand zhang, almost reaching the bottom of the mountain. There was no more footpath below. The temperature here suddenly rose, and Xiao Fan was instantly drenched in sweat.

The other miners also looked over, somewhat surprised.

The white-clothed youth in front of them was much younger than they were, but he was already a Spirit King Realm practitioner, which was truly enviable.

However, in their opinion, Xiao Fan had descended over two thousand zhang without activating his protective True Essence, which was really a bit too arrogant.

But the next moment, they were shocked to find that Xiao Fan jumped straight down towards the bottom of the cavern. There was no footpath below, and Xiao Fan’s figure quickly disappeared from their sight.

This... what do we do?

The miners were all startled. The temperature at the bottom of the cavern was terrifyingly high. Even if a Spirit King Realm practitioner jumped down, they would probably be doomed.

If a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect died here, they would probably be implicated as well.

Should we go and report to the other two adults?

Everyone looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other’s eyes. They nodded at the same time.

Xiao Fan descended through the air, landing at the bottom of the cavern. In front of him was surging magma, and terrifying heat waves surged like a tide, causing Xiao Fan to show signs of dehydration, as if he were about to be roasted into a human jerky at any moment.

His heart skipped a beat, and Xiao Fan hurriedly activated his protective True Essence, which made him feel a little better.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong and his True Essence was abundant, otherwise it would have been quite dangerous just now.

Although it was dangerous, a smile appeared on Xiao Fan’s face. The higher the temperature here, the better the effect of melting the star core and forging the precious sword.

Looking around, he saw a sea of fire-like magma in front of him and a thick mountain wall behind him. Only the place beneath his feet could be used as a foothold.

Looking at the mountain wall behind him, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Xiao Fan’s eyes.

His Soul Power was extremely powerful, and he sensed an extremely strong fire attribute aura within the mountain wall, much stronger than that of the Fire Phosphorus Stone.

Chapter 307: Fire Phosphorus Crystal

Feeling something unusual within the mountain wall, Xiao Fan slightly furrowed his brow: Could it be that this place contains a large amount of Fire Phosphorus Stone?

The temperature at the bottom of the cavern was even higher, and the fire attribute energy it contained was also more violent, indeed making it easier for Fire Phosphorus Stones to form.

Xiao Fan’s Soul Power fully penetrated it, sensing the extremely strong fire attribute energy within, comparable to thousands of Fire Phosphorus Stones. This brought a hint of joy to his eyes.

If he could excavate a large amount of Fire Phosphorus Stones here, then he could start cultivating the fifth level of the Nine Tribulations Indestructible Sword Body.

Thinking this, Xiao Fan immediately drew his precious sword, infused it with vast True Essence, and violently thrust it into the mountain wall. The fierce sword energy was incredibly sharp, easily tearing through the mountain wall and carving out a huge cavern.

Stepping into it, Xiao Fan swung his sword, chopping and slicing continuously. The hard mountain wall was as fragile as tofu under his sword, breaking apart one after another.

After digging for several tens of zhang, a sizzling sound was heard as the fierce sword energy was extinguished.

Xiao Fan’s face lit up with joy, knowing he had found the right place. The mountain wall in front of him must contain a large amount of Fire Phosphorus Stones, otherwise ordinary rocks would not be able to withstand his sword energy.

Surprised and delighted, Xiao Fan quickly activated the True Fire Seal, using his spirit as a guide, releasing crimson flames that blazed vigorously within the cavern.

The True Spirit Fire formed by the True Fire Seal was truly terrifying, quickly burning a vast amount of rocks in the cavern to nothing. However, this also consumed a great deal of Xiao Fan’s spirit.

Yet, this efficiency was more than a hundred times faster than the miners.

The fierce fire continued for over a minute, and in front of Xiao Fan, a large hole was burnt open. However, to his surprise, only a millstone-sized rock remained being calcined in front of him.

Such a small rock could not contain thousands of Fire Phosphorus Stones.

However, the rock indeed contained vast fire attribute energy, something Xiao Fan’s Soul Power would not mistake.

Could it be that this is not Fire Phosphorus Stone?

Xiao Fan looked at the rock in front of him in surprise, continuing to calcine it with True Spirit Fire.

Sizzle, sizzle...

This rock was obviously much harder, and under the calcination of the True Spirit Fire, layers of stone skin slowly peeled off.

After almost a quarter of an hour of calcination, the original millstone-sized rock had become about the size of a soccer ball. However, Xiao Fan’s face was already turning slightly pale because of the intense consumption of his spirit.

In just this short period of time, it felt to him like he had experienced a life-or-death battle, his inner energy weak and his body trembling slightly.

Just when Xiao Fan was about to reach his limit, with a loud boom, the rock suddenly exploded, revealing a soccer ball-sized crystal.

The crystal was irregular, oval-shaped, extremely crimson, even slightly purple, translucent and as crystal clear as jade.

Although it looked very beautiful, the fire attribute energy it contained was extremely vast and violent, and the light emitted was very dazzling, like a small sun.

Staring at the crystal before him, Xiao Fan’s pale face suddenly showed a trace of rosy, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

It’s actually Fire Phosphorus Crystal!

Fire Phosphorus Crystals were also fire attribute treasures, but they were much more advanced than Fire Phosphorus Stones.

If a Fire Phosphorus Stone was a drop of water, then a Fire Phosphorus Crystal was an ice cube formed by the condensation of countless drops of water. Not only was the energy it contained stronger, but its quality was also higher.

If Fire Phosphorus Crystals were used to refine Spirit Pills, the impurities of the medicinal ingredients could be completely removed to refine perfect Spirit Pills. It was even very effective for refining the legendary ninth-rank Spirit Pill.

This soccer ball-sized Fire Phosphorus Crystal was actually worth much more than ten thousand Fire Phosphorus Stones.

I really stumbled upon a treasure this time.

Looking at the crystal clear Fire Phosphorus Crystal, Xiao Fan’s face was full of smiles.

Originally, the task of guarding the Fire Phosphorus Stone Vein was tantamount to exile, but fortune follows misfortune. Obtaining this piece of Fire Phosphorus Crystal was worth even guarding for one or two more years, from an inner court disciple’s perspective.

However, this was Xiao Fan we’re talking about. Had it been any other inner disciple, not to mention whether they could discover the existence of Fire Phosphorus Crystals, even if they did, in such harsh conditions, where one needs to continuously uphold protective True Essence and keep igniting True Fire for calcination and refinement, it would be overwhelming.

Without the True Fire Seal, even for powerhouses at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit King Realm, it would likely be unsustainable.

Sometimes, having good luck also requires corresponding strength, otherwise, guarding a treasure mountain without the means to exploit it is extremely frustrating.

Just as Xiao Fan was basking in joy, suddenly, shouts came from above.

After receiving the miners’ reports, Gu Dayong and Qin Heng hurried over. Given the terrifying temperature at the bottom of the cavern, even though both of them were powerful individuals in the fifth and sixth levels of the Spirit King Realm respectively, they dared not venture too deep, let alone Xiao Fan, who was only at the first level of the Spirit King Realm.

Although the two had only met Xiao Fan the day before, being fellow inner disciples and having compatible personalities, they had a good relationship and were worried something might have happened to him.

Junior Brother Xiao, Junior Brother Xiao...

As a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Spirit King Realm, Gu Dayong was exceptionally burly and his voice was powerful. Even though they were thousands of zhang away and separated by the scorching airwaves, his voice still reached Xiao Fan.

Hearing Gu Dayong’s anxious call, Xiao Fan snapped out of his joy and hurriedly responded: Don’t worry, senior brothers, I’m not in danger.

Gu Dayong and Qin Heng were about to search for him with their protective True Essence ready when they heard Xiao Fan’s voice, which relieved them.

Wiping the sweat from his face, Gu Dayong looked at Qin Heng, whose face was filled with surprise, and said: Junior Brother Xiao is really something. Being just at the first level of the Spirit King Realm, he dared to venture into the bottom of the cavern. Just for that courage, I admire him.

Qin Heng also nodded: Not just courage, Junior Brother Xiao must have been down there for about a quarter of an hour and is still unharmed. It seems he has some tricks up his sleeve.

Recalling when Xiao Fan had just arrived, despite their higher cultivation levels, they hadn’t noticed him, which made them curious about Xiao Fan’s strength.

Ha ha, Gu Dayong laughed heartily: It’s said that the boldness comes from the mastery of one’s art, and that’s exactly it. Otherwise, how would he dare to offend the eldest senior brother?

At that time, at the bottom of the cavern, Xiao Fan, after putting away the Fire Phosphorus Crystal, surveyed the surroundings once more. Finding no more traces of Fire Phosphorus Crystals, he rose into the air and flew upwards.

It wasn’t that Xiao Fan was greedy, but Fire Phosphorus Crystals were too rare and precious. If he could find a few more, perhaps he could fully cultivate the fifth level of the Nine Tribulations Indestructible Sword Body to perfection.

However, the fire attribute energy contained in Fire Phosphorus Crystals was too vast, and the conditions for their formation were extremely harsh. Rock Star Mountain, having existed for tens of thousands of years, nurturing even one crystal was remarkable.

Chapter 308: Fiery Body Refinement

When Xiao Fan flew up, the walkway above was already crowded with people. Seeing Xiao Fan’s figure, they all showed a look of awe.

Even Gu Dayong and Qin Heng, proud as they were, couldn’t stay below for a quarter of an hour given the extremely high temperature, which required continuous support of protective True Essence and resulted in great consumption.

Yet, Xiao Fan, with just the cultivation of the first level of the Spirit King Realm, had stayed down there for such a long time. Upon his return, he seemed alright except for a somewhat pale complexion.

Junior Brother Xiao, what were you doing down there? You had us worried sick. Seeing Xiao Fan return safely, Gu Dayong finally let out the breath he had been holding.

Seeing the nervous expressions of Gu Dayong and others, Xiao Fan gave an awkward smile: It was nothing, just curiosity. I went down to take a look.

As for the matter of the Fire Phosphorus Crystal, Xiao Fan did not mention it. With so many people around, if the news leaked, he might have to surrender the Fire Phosphorus Crystal, and Xiao Fan was not foolish.

Gu Dayong and the others did not suspect anything else. Seeing that Xiao Fan was alright, they dispersed the gathered miners.

Back in the hall at the entrance of the cave, after exchanging pleasantries with the two for a while, Xiao Fan said: I plan to go into seclusion for a while. I’ll have to trouble you two brothers to look after this place.

Hearing this, Gu Dayong and Qin Heng smiled at each other and readily said: Junior Brother Xiao, rest assured and focus on your cultivation. There’s nothing major here. I’ll keep an eye on things and ensure that no problems arise.

Indeed, the duty of the inner disciples here was essentially to establish Heavenly Star Sect’s presence, signaling that this place was occupied by the Heavenly Star Sect. Adventurers coming to the Chilian Mountain Range for exploration and training would not dare to intrude recklessly.

Besides, their job was to monitor the miners to prevent them from hiding Fire Phosphorus Stones. The work couldn’t be simpler.

Nevertheless, Xiao Fan still felt somewhat apologetic, so he offered two hundred Sky Star Stones.

The Sky Star Stone was the common currency of the Heavenly Star Sect, which could be exchanged for many cultivation resources or various treasures. Giving out two hundred at once was quite generous among the inner disciples.

Seeing this, Gu Dayong and Qin Heng initially wanted to decline, but ultimately couldn’t resist Xiao Fan’s insistence and accepted them.

Junior Brother Xiao has such an impressive cultivation base at such a young age, and yet he’s still so dedicated to his practice. As a senior brother, I’m truly ashamed.

Watching Xiao Fan’s departing figure, Gu Dayong sighed inwardly.

Perhaps it’s out of pressure, after all, he’s offended Long Jianxing. Qin Heng also sighed inwardly.

Long Jianxing had great influence within the Heavenly Star Sect. If one offended this man and didn’t put in the effort to improve their strength, it was likely that they would be killed by one of his many followers, even without Long Jianxing having to personally act.

Qin Heng knew this all too well. After all, Wei Ming was just an inconspicuous figure among Long Jianxing’s many followers, and yet he already felt suffocated under his pressure.

Thinking of this, Qin Heng’s gaze became filled with strong determination: Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Gu. I’m also going to cultivate.

Go, go, I’ll sleep for a while.

With a hint of envy towards Qin Heng, Gu Dayong lay down on a grand chair and narrowed his eyes, enjoying the sun.

Gu Dayong had a strong desire for cultivation, but his talent was limited. After reaching the fifth level peak of the Spirit King Realm, he had reached a bottleneck. Even if he spent every day cultivating, it would be futile.

Meanwhile, after Xiao Fan entered the room on the left side of the hall, he looked around briefly. The furnishings were simple, consisting of only a bed and a set of tables and chairs.

Xiao Fan did not mind this. He casually set up a barrier inside the door before sitting down cross-legged and calming his mind in preparation for his cultivation.

After breaking through to the Spirit King Realm, he still had much room for improvement, but he had never had the time to cultivate peacefully. Now that he had been assigned to the Fire Phosphorus Stone Vein, he could finally focus on his cultivation for a period of time.

Although the Chilian Mountain Range was a desolate place with thin spiritual energy, it was also very quiet, making it suitable for secluded cultivation.

Taking out the
