The improved Spirit Seeking Compass would emit two beams of spiritual light when activated.
One of them was silver in color and was used to detect metal-type spiritual energy.
The other was blue-black, used to detect baneful Qi.
The two beams of light couldn't penetrate the rock very well. They could only penetrate three thousand feet into the rock stratum, which wasn't as good as the undisturbed Grade Two Spirit Seeking Compass.
The only advantage was that it wouldn't be disturbed by metal-type Spirit Qi and baneful Qi. It was very suitable to be used here.
After all, it was just a rough improvement. It was enough to detect metal-type Spirit Qi and baneful Qi.
Wang Daoyuan activated the Spirit Seeking Compass in his hand. Two beams of light, one white and one black, flew out.
Without using his Divine Sense to control the direction, the two beams of light would automatically search for the place with the densest metal-type Spirit Qi and baneful Qi.
The two beams of light entered the stone wall north of the cave abode. This made Wang Daoyuan relieved. He didn't have to choose between finding the Grade Four Heaven Fiend Gold or the Metal Spirit Vein or Spirit Core first.
He still had to worry about being discovered when he dug outside the cave abode.
It just so happened that Zheng Ping's cave abode was hidden by an array formation.
It was safer to dig here.
Moreover, the place where Zheng Ping dug out the Grade Four Heaven Fiend Gold was a few hundred feet north of the cave abode.
Next was Wang Daoyuan's best skill, digging holes. He drew out a wisp of Dust Returning Flame from the space and ignited the stone wall.
This place wasn't like Mingsha Plain. Although there was a lot of earth-type Spirit Qi in the rocks, there was more metal-type Spirit Qi.
The earth-type Spirit Qi obtained from burning the rocks could barely keep the Dust Returning Flame burning.
Sometimes, it wasn't enough and Wang Daoyuan had to use some extra Spirit Qi to replenish it.
They didn't move very fast. The tunnel was five feet in diameter, so they could only move thirty to forty feet forward in two hours.
Half a month later, they reached the place where Zheng Ping dug out the Grade Four Heaven Fiend Gold.
The baneful Qi and metal-type Spirit Qi were indeed denser here, and there were more Heaven Fiend Gold ores.
Every few feet, they could dig out one or two pieces of Grade Three superior-grade Heaven Fiend Gold the size of a fist.
After a few days, the Spirit Seeking Compass detected a piece of ore with strong baneful Qi and metal-type Spirit Qi more than three hundred feet ahead.
Since it appeared in a Heaven Fiend Gold vein, it could only be a piece of Grade Four Heaven Fiend Gold.
Wang Daoyuan increased the output of his spirit energy and quickly pushed forward.
Seven or eight days later, an irregular spherical piece of Heaven Hellish Gold with a diameter of about three feet appeared.
The baleful aura here was extremely strong, and Wang Daoyuan had no choice but to cast a level three spell that he basically didn't need — Flaming Divine Armor Spell, relying on his fire spiritual energy to resist the corrosion of the baleful aura.
Judging from the Baleful Qi, it was also a Fourth Tier Lower Grade.
Controlling the Returning Dust Flame, Xiao Chen burned all the rocks around this Rank 4 Inferior Grade Heaven Demon Gold. Then, he put it into a Universe Ring.
This piece of fourth-tier inferior-grade Heaven Murderous Gold weighed at least three hundred pounds. It was enough to make a group of early-stage Golden Core cultivators drool.
Wang Daoyuan continued to drive the Spirit Seeking Compass after digging out this large piece of Heaven Hellish Gold.
Two streaks of light flew out. This time, they didn't head north, but rather diagonally downwards.
Wang Daoyuan was overjoyed. He was looking for the place with the densest metal element spiritual Qi and evil Qi. He was looking for the source of the ore vein.
Generally speaking, metal veins came from lava, and the source of the veins was relatively deep underground.
The veins turned downwards, which meant that he was about to find the source.
As he continued downward, the evil Qi became stronger and stronger. The Flaming Divine Armor Technique couldn't withstand it at all.
He ordered the clone in the space to use the Blood Fire Fusang branch to refine an armor for himself.
Half an hour later, the middle-grade Tier-3 armor was completed.
It was complete with armor, greaves, and a helmet.
The armor was not even as strong as a Third Tier Lower Grade Dharma Artifact.
However, the armor was engraved with dense flaming patterns. Under the activation of his spiritual power, his entire body seemed to be wrapped in flames. Most of the evil Qi was isolated outside.
This way, he could stay in this dense evil Qi for a long time.
He controlled the Returning Dust Flame and continued downward.
After half a month, the evil Qi became denser and denser.
Even with the Blood Fire Fusang Armor, it was difficult to withstand.
In this half a month, he didn't find any large pieces of Heaven Hellish Gold. He only dug up a few pieces that were not even the size of a fist.
At this moment, the two streaks of light of the Spirit Seeking Compass separated.
The greenish-black light headed towards the southwest, while the silver light continued to head downwards towards the north.
His goal was to find the Metal Spiritual Fire. Naturally, he wasn't interested in the evil Qi.
The direction of the blue-black light should be the Earth Vein Evil Qi that formed the Heaven Hellish Gold.
Wang Daoyuan followed the direction of the silver light and continued forward.
Next, there was only the pure and extremely violent metal element spiritual energy.
With the Metal Spiritual Qi supporting it, the evil Qi couldn't go any deeper. Wang Daoyuan didn't need to wear the Blood Fire Fusang Armor anymore.
Without the evil Qi, there was naturally no Heaven Hellish Gold below.
Wang Daoyuan dug up a few pieces of Black Iron Crystals. These were originally ordinary Black Iron.
After being cleansed by the Metal Spiritual Qi for many years, the impurities were removed and they became completely transparent.
The Black Iron Crystals weren't very strong, but they contained extremely pure Metal Spiritual Qi. They were excellent supplementary materials for refining Metal Spiritual Artifacts and nurturing Metal Spiritual Artifacts.
The Heaven Hellish Gold above should be formed by the Black Iron Crystals being corroded by the evil Qi.
The deeper he dug, the denser the Metal Spiritual Qi became.
At this moment, the density of the Metal Spiritual Qi was very close to Fourth Tier mid-grade.
The distance between this place and the Metal Spiritual Vein of Blood Demon Ridge was also getting closer and closer.
Wang Daoyuan continued forward. Five days later, the Spirit Seeking Compass found a hole three hundred feet diagonally below.
The hole was filled with pure Metal Spiritual Qi, and the density had reached the limit of a Fourth Tier mid-grade Spiritual Vein.
Wang Daoyuan was overjoyed. He had dug up the Metal Spiritual Vein's Spiritual Eye.
Whether Blood Demon Mountain had a Metal Spiritual Fire or not depended on this.
Whether there was a Spiritual Fire or not, this trip was about to end. Wang Daoyuan was full of energy. He urged the Dust Returning Flame to burn the rock layer.
At this rate, he would be able to reach the Spiritual Eye in eight or nine days at most.
Controlling the Dust Returning Flame didn't take much effort.
He urged the Spirit Seeking Compass to explore in other directions.
Since this place could produce many Black Iron Crystals, it might also produce other precious Metal Spiritual Qi.
Before entering the Heaven Hellish Gold Mine, he had heard that Blood Demon City had Taiyi Pure Gold Ore.
And Taiyi Pure Gold Ore must have a large amount of Metal Spiritual Qi.
His goal was the Spiritual Eye, which was the place most likely to produce Taiyi Pure Gold Ore.
If he could find a Taiyi Pure Gold Ore, he might be able to pick up a few pieces of Fourth Tier Taiyi Pure Gold.
The Spirit Seeking Compass really did find a Metal Spiritual Material, but it was more than three hundred feet to the east.
Because his Spirit Seeking Compass was too crude, it could only detect pure Metal Spiritual Qi. From this, he deduced that there might be a Metal Spiritual Material.
As for what kind of material it was, it was hard to say whether it was Taiyi Pure Gold or not.
The most important thing now was the Metal Spiritual Fire. Even Fourth Tier Taiyi Pure Gold was far less important than the Spiritual Fire.
He continued to push toward the Spiritual Eye. After more than twenty days, he finally reached the location of the Spiritual Eye.
The Dust Returning Flame burned through the rock wall where the Spiritual Eye was, and a pure Metal Spiritual Qi gushed out.
This concentration was only a hair away from Fourth Tier Spiritual Qi.
The Metal Spiritual Qi dissipated, and Wang Daoyuan walked into the hole.
The hole wasn't big, only two or three feet in diameter.
At the bottom of the hole, there were dense cracks in the rock. The Metal Spiritual Qi seeped out from these cracks.
In the center of the hole, there was an irregular round silver metal ball more than a foot in diameter.
Wang Daoyuan was no stranger to this thing. It was Taiyi Pure Gold.
Inside the Taiyi Pure Gold, there were violent Metal Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
This piece of Taiyi Pure Gold wasn't perfect. There was a crack at the bottom that went deep inside.
Wang Daoyuan's Divine Sense penetrated the crack and probed inside the Taiyi Pure Gold.
He saw a silver flame inside. The flame was only as thick as a chopstick and less than an inch tall.
