Wang Daoyuan tested the flow of time in and out of the space – it was still 40 times faster and did not increase.
He did not know if the flow of time would increase after he repaired the crack in the spirit pearl.
If he stayed in the mine, he would not be able to find out what was happening outside.
If anyone discovered the change in the spirit vein, he would have to dig a hole and escape.
If no one discovered the change in the spirit vein, he could hand over 250 kilograms of Heaven Ferocious Metal and walk out openly.
Since he did not know anything now, he could not take the risk.
No one would be able to find him for the time being and he could just stay in Zheng Ping's cave abode for the time being.
Now that he had gathered all five elements spirit fires, it was time to prepare for refining them.
Refining spirit fires was extremely dangerous and if he did not do it properly, there was a high chance he would be devoured by the spirit fire.
If he was lucky, his dantian and meridians would be severely damaged and he would become a cripple. If he was lucky, he would be burned to ashes by the spirit fire.
There were many ways to refine spirit fires and each had its pros and cons.
The Five Elements Perfected Being also recorded the way to refine spirit fires.
His method was to first extract the essence of the spirit fire and condense the spirit energy seed.
He would then draw the entire spirit fire into his body and fuse it with the spirit energy seed.
Because the two were similar in nature, they could fuse well.
The spirit fire would not reject the spirit energy seed too much and would not cause a backlash.
The biggest flaw of the Five Elements Perfected Being's method was that cultivators who did not cultivate the Five Spirit Immortal Transformation Technique would not be able to use it.
Perfected Lord Bai Ling's Fire Controlling Records also left a method to fuse spirit fires.
Wang Daoyuan's cultivation technique was the Five Spirit Immortal Transformation Technique after all and it was more suitable to use the Five Elements Perfected Being's method.
Even though he had all five elements spirit fires, he could not start refining them now.
The five spirit fires were of different grades. The Life Spirit Fire, Dust Returning Flame, Gui Water Hell Flame and Scarlet Yang True Flame were all superior Grade 3 spirit fires.
The newly obtained Taiyi Golden Flame was a middle-grade Grade 3 spirit fire.
Due to the difference in grades, the five spirit energy seeds would not be balanced after refinement.
In his last words, the Five Elements Perfected Being repeatedly warned that he had to balance the spirit energy seeds or he would lose his life.
The four superior Grade 3 spirit fires came from different sources and grew at different speeds as well.
The Dust Returning Flame was a superior Grade 4 spirit fire in the hands of the Five Elements Perfected Being.
The Gui Water Death Flame was born from a fourth level Spirit spring and was once a fourth level Spirit Fire.
The Scarlet Yang Real Fire was even more impressive. When it was in the hands of the Hundred Spirits True Lord, it was at least a Level Five Spiritual Fire.
These spiritual fires used to be of very high grades.
After refining it, his growth would be even faster.
Even if they were of the same grade when refined, the three flames would grow faster when cultivating in the future.
He needed to constantly balance them in order to ensure that the Five Elements Spiritual Fires grew at the same speed.
If the grade was different during refinement, it would be much more difficult to maintain the balance of the Five Elements Spiritual Fire in the future. It might even affect the speed of cultivation.
To be safe, he decided to let them grow in the space of the Spirit Orb first. Once they were of the same rank, he would refine them into his body.
The growth of the Spiritual Pearl Space also required spiritual fire. After refining the spiritual fire, it would affect the growth of the Spiritual Pearl Space.
No matter how important the space in the Spiritual Orb was, it was only a resource.
His ultimate goal was to make himself stronger.
After refining the spiritual fire, even if he did not take any elixirs, he could quickly cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
His own cultivation was definitely more important than the growth of the Spiritual Pearl's space.
However, it was not impossible to balance the growth of his own cultivation and the Spiritual Pearl's space.
The Scarlet Yang True Fire was different from the other four flames. It was not naturally formed, but artificially created.
Back then, after Perfected Lord Bai Ling obtained the scarlet feathered crow, he used the scarlet feathered crow's natal true fire to condense the Scarlet Yang True Fire.
The method of condensing the spiritual fire was recorded in Perfected Lord Bai Ling's fire control records.
A small portion of the spiritual fire's origin was separated, which was the fire seed.
Then, the essence of the spiritual fire was extracted and condensed into a pseudo spiritual fire.
With sufficient spirit qi, pseudo spiritual fire could burn stably.
However, it was extremely fragile and would be extinguished easily at the slightest movement.
Furthermore, if it was provided with sufficient spirit qi, its growth would be extremely slow.
When the spiritual fire's origin was sufficient, the quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change and it would become a real spiritual fire.
The original spiritual fire would be severely injured after losing a portion of its origin.
However, as long as there was sufficient spirit qi, it could still recover.
In the process of condensing the pseudo spiritual fire, if there was not enough spirit qi, it was likely to fail.
Even if it succeeded, the pseudo spiritual fire would need to be nurtured for a long time.
Back then, Perfected Lord Bai Ling used more than 200 years to nurture the pseudo spiritual fire into the Scarlet Yang True Fire.
During the nurturing process, the pseudo spiritual fire could be extinguished easily and had to be paid attention at all times.
Wang Daoyuan could also use this method to condense five pseudo spiritual fires and nurture them in the space of the spiritual pearl.
Even if the pseudo spiritual fire was nurtured into a real spiritual fire, its grade would not be comparable to the original spiritual fire for a long time.
However, it should be enough to maintain the growth of the spiritual pearl's space.
With the flow of time 40 times faster, there was no need to worry about long nurturing and slow growth.
The original spiritual fire was stronger, so naturally, it would be refined into the body to assist in cultivation.
In this Divine Ferocious Gold Mine, the most suitable pseudo spiritual fire to condense the Taiyi Golden Flame was the Taiyi Golden Flame.
However, the Taiyi Golden Flame's grade was the lowest, and Wang Daoyuan did not have the experience of condensing a pseudo spiritual fire, so he might fail.
If he failed a few times, too much of the spiritual fire's origin would be consumed, and it would take a long time to raise its grade.
Naturally, the Taiyi Golden Flame could not be used for such a destructive experiment.
The one that was least afraid of damaging its origin was the Life Spiritual Fire.
When Wang Daoyuan first obtained the Life Spiritual Fire, it was still hidden in the top bud of the peach tree sapling. Now, the flame was more than ten inches tall.
With the support of the peach tree sapling, its growth speed was far from what other spiritual fires could compare to.
Even if the origin of the spiritual fire was damaged, it could recover quickly.
The surroundings were filled with metal-element spirit qi and malevolent aura. Condensing a pseudo spiritual fire could only be done in the space of the spiritual pearl.
His spirit entered the space of the spiritual pearl, extracted a wisp of the Life Spiritual Fire, and injected spirit energy to strengthen it.
Finally, it formed a fist-sized ball of green flame.
Then, his spirit consciousness probed the boundary between the Life Spiritual Fire and the top bud of the peach tree sapling.
Half of the Life Spiritual Fire's origin was in the top bud, and the other half was in the flame.
Condensing a pseudo spiritual fire required about one-tenth of the spiritual fire's origin.
The Life Spiritual Fire was gentler and could be directly probed with spirit consciousness to retrieve the origin of the spiritual fire.
Soon, his spirit consciousness separated a sesame-sized green flame from the Life Spiritual Fire.
After the flame was separated, the height of the Life Spiritual Fire, which was originally more than ten inches tall, instantly decreased by an inch.
Even though the flame was small, it possessed an extremely rich life force.
If he refined this thing directly, there was even a possibility of reviving the dead.
The origin of the spiritual fire was also considered a natural treasure. No one knew how it was formed and no one could create it casually.
Even some high-grade cultivation methods required the use of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in order to cultivate spiritual fire.
He had truly never heard of any ancient mighty being who could use spirit qi to create the origin of the spiritual fire directly.
Injecting a sesame-sized flame into a fist-sized flame was the embryonic form of the pseudo spiritual fire.
Next, Wang Daoyuan converted all the spirit energy in his body into wood element and channeled it into the space of the spiritual pearl.
His spirit controlled all the wood element spirit energy and injected it into the embryonic form of the pseudo spiritual fire.
After receiving a large amount of wood element spirit qi, the fist-sized green spirit fire did not grow. Instead, it shrunk continuously.
The spirit energy within was absorbed by the sesame-sized origin of the spiritual fire, and the origin of the spiritual fire was also gradually growing.
Before long, all the spirit energy in Wang Daoyuan's body was exhausted.
As the pseudo spiritual fire was not formed, it could not rely on the spirit qi in the space to burn on its own.
The moment he stopped injecting spirit energy, the ball of spiritual fire would be extinguished instantly.
It was useless even if he drank wine to recover his spirit energy. At this moment, he could not circulate his cultivation technique. The spirit energy that he replenished was also not the wood element spirit energy with vitality and was useless.
