After Wang Daoyuan recovered his spirit power and consciousness, he was not in a hurry to dig for the Heaven Hellish Gold.
After all, the experts in the mine all had their own territories.
Other cultivators would not come to Zheng Ping's territory.
His main goal was to find the metal-attribute spirit fire.
Although Zheng Ping did not find any traces of the spirit fire, he could not give up. He still had to work hard.
Using the Spirit Seeking Compass to explore the surroundings, even if he could not find the spirit fire, he could dig up more fourth-grade Heaven Hellish Gold.
The Spirit Seeking Compass in the past was a second-grade Dharma artifact and had a closer detection range.
Moreover, it was severely affected by the evil aura in the mine and could not be used.
He was now a third-grade weapon refiner and had two weapon refiner clones. He could refine a third-grade mid-grade Spirit Seeking Compass.
Of course, this Spirit Seeking Compass could not be compared to the one Xuan Jiuxiao of the Archaic Arcanum Sect took out when exploring the Hidden Cloud Continent.
In terms of using compasses, the Archaic Arcanum Sect was the best.
Even Xuan Jiuxiao's natal dharma artifact was the mysterious Yin Yang Compass.
The functions of compasses and other things would be affected in this kind of mineral vein.
Especially spiritual items with strong evil aura like the Heaven Hellish Gold, which interfered greatly with the compass.
In order to accurately detect the mines and find the metal-attribute spirit fire, he had to make some improvements to the Spirit Seeking Compass.
An ordinary Spirit Seeking Compass could search for the five-element spirit qi, but his target was only metal-attribute spirit qi and evil aura.
It was not important to him whether or not he could search for spirit qi of other attributes. He just needed to determine the concentration of metal-attribute spirit qi and evil aura.
This meant that he had to modify a compass specifically to detect metal-attribute spirit qi and evil aura.
When Daoist Lei Yan was copying the legacy of the ancestors, Wang Daoyuan had copied down all of the tool runes.
Among the copied patterns, some could determine the concentration of spirit qi and automatically search for the place with the highest concentration of spirit qi.
To refine such a compass, there was no need to start from scratch.
He only needed to use an ordinary third-grade Spirit Seeking Compass as a base and modify it with such patterns.
In the space of the Spirit Pearl, Tu Youming and Zheng Ping, the two third-grade weapon refiners, worked together and had forty times the time. It was not difficult to modify a compass.
He didn't need to improve the compass to perfection, as long as it could be used.
Before the improvement of the Spirit Seeking Compass was completed, Wang Daoyuan had nothing to do but cultivate, so he paid more attention to the situation in the space of the Spirit Bead.
The Purple Cloud Dragon Patterned Ginseng that he had planted before exploring True Monarch Hundred Spirits' abode was already over a thousand years old. It had been harvested by his clone and stored in a jade box.
A new batch had been planted, but it would take more than ten years to harvest.
These few years, Wang Daoyuan had always been busy and did not have time to refine the Purple Rhyme Pill either.
Now, staying in this broken mine, not to mention the violent spiritual energy, there was also an extremely dense baleful aura.
The baleful aura would affect one's soul. If one were to refine pills in a state where one's mind was not completely clear, an explosion would definitely be unavoidable.
Since he still had some Purple Rhythm Pills on hand, it wouldn't be a problem even if he didn't refine any pills for now.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the space of the Spiritual Orb had already reached the level of Upper Grade Third Stage.
The peach tree sapling that nurtured the Spiritual Fire of Life was also beginning to grow slowly.
Its height had already reached five to six inches, and the Spiritual Fire of Life was also becoming more vigorous.
There were many spiritual objects around the Spiritual Fire of Life. For example, the Hidden Cloud Tea tender branch that he obtained from True Monarch Hundred Spirits' small medicine garden last time was also planted here.
The tender shoot back then had already become a tea tree more than three feet tall, and its grade had also already reached Lower Grade Third Stage.
The Gui Water Death Flame did not have much activity, but the surrounding Yellow Springs Willow grew a little.
Wang Daoyuan had no use for the Yellow Springs Willow for the time being, so he had never cared about it.
The changes around the Dust Returning Flame were not small. The earth-attribute spirit vein continuously produced soil, forming a circular mound with a diameter of one foot and a height of more than two feet below the Dust Returning Flame.
The Dust Returning Flame burned quietly above the mound, but it did not affect the surrounding spiritual plants either.
Around the Scarlet Yang True Fire, several transplanted Blood Fire Hibiscus had also grown a lot.
The largest one was originally an old branch. Now, it was already twenty to thirty feet tall, and the trunk's diameter was also more than a foot.
The other Blood Fire Hibiscus were all young shoots on the old branches, and now they were only seven to eight feet tall.
The red-feathered crow, who had been staying beside the Scarlet Yang True Fire, gave Wang Daoyuan a headache.
It had been eight or nine years since it hatched, and it had been more than three hundred years in the space of the spirit bead.
After more than three hundred years, the fledgling was still only the size of an adult's fist.
The fluff on the body was black, and the fluff on both wings was red. There was no sign of growing feathers at all, and it still looked like a fledgling.
Its cultivation was only a little higher than when it first came out of the shell. It was now Middle Grade Rank Two, which was equivalent to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even if it was a real divine beast, it should not grow so slowly.
These years, the red-feathered crow's life had been good.
Every day, it ate the pine nuts of the Red Scaled Pine. The pine nuts it ate added up to dozens of middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Needless to say, it soaked in the Scarlet Yang True Fire every day, and there were a few Blood Fire Hibiscus next to it.
This was the most suitable environment for the red-feathered crow to live in. Even the Hundred Spirits Lord could not provide such a good environment for the red-feathered crow.
The Hundred Spirits Lord's Beast Taming Inheritance was not in his hands, and there was no way to know the reason why the red-feathered crow was not growing.
He could only ask his clone Cui Ming to check the Ten Thousand Spirits Atlas and the Beiyuan Records.
He wanted to see if other spiritual beasts with the bloodline of divine beasts had similar situations.
In the end, there was no such record in the Beiyuan Records.
In the Ten Thousand Spirits Atlas, he found some ways to raise other demon birds.
The inheritance of the Thousand Spirits Sect might have come from the top force of the Valley of Beasts.
In terms of demon beasts, the Thousand Spirits Sect was quite authoritative.
According to the Ten Thousand Spirits Atlas, most demon birds were proud and unwilling to obey their masters easily.
To completely tame them, one must start with the eggs of demon birds.
It also emphasized that demon birds with extraordinary bloodlines, after the fledgling hatched, must not throw away the eggshell.
This was because there might be something on the eggshell related to its bloodline.
When the demon bird grew up and could swallow the eggshell, the eggshell could be fed to it.
This would help the demon bird awaken its bloodline and grow quickly.
Without the eggshell, ordinary demon birds might be fine.
However, demon birds with extraordinary bloodlines were prone to slow growth and difficult to awaken their bloodline.
This time, Wang Daoyuan could be sure that the reason why the scarlet-feathered black chick could not grow was because of the lack of eggshell.
Fortunately, he felt that the scarlet-feathered black chick's eggshell was quite extraordinary and might have some use, so he kept it properly.
Now, it really came in handy.
He ordered his clone Cui Ming to take out the storage bag with the eggshell.
He took out the eggshell and put it next to the scarlet-feathered black chick's mouth.
When the little guy saw the eggshell, its eyes widened and it pounced on it, desperately pecking at the eggshell.
The scarlet-feathered black chick's egg itself was the size of a goose egg, and there was not much in the eggshell, so it was quickly pecked clean by the chick.
After eating the eggshell, the chick walked to the side of the Red Sun Primordial Fire, clung to the flame, and fell asleep.
As time passed, the scarlet-feathered black chick's body did not change much, but short reddish-gold feathers grew on its wings and tail.
Two years later, the scarlet-feathered black chick finally woke up.
Its feathers were already more than an inch long, and the fluff had not completely faded.
As soon as it woke up, it desperately ate the pine nuts of the Red Scale Pine.
Wang Daoyuan used his Divine Sense to explore the scarlet-feathered black chick's body. Although the little guy looked like a reincarnated hungry ghost, there was no problem with its body.
Seeing that its new feathers were reddish-gold, Wang Daoyuan named it Red Feather.
These two years were equivalent to eighty years in the space of the Spirit Pearl.
Zheng Ping and Tu Youming's clones were not idle, and they also had some results in improving the Spirit Seeking Compass.
Using the Heaven Ferocious Gold as the raw material, they refined a Spirit Seeking Compass that could search for metal-type spiritual power and evil aura.
