There was nothing in the Mirror Lake that could attract cultivators, so there would not be many cultivators willing to come here.
From this point of view, it was indeed a good place to break the core and form the nascent soul.
However, it also had a fatal weakness. There was only a water-attribute spirit vein here.
Breaking the core and forming the nascent soul required spirit qi of the five elements, which was obviously not enough here.
If he could find a spirit item that could assist in forming the nascent soul, it would be a good place to transcend the tribulation.
If he could not find one, he would have to find a place with a grade-5 spirit vein.
According to the records in the beast book, there was a grade-5 wood-attribute spirit vein more than ten thousand miles south of the Mirror Lake.
It was also a peripheral area, and there had been no records of grade-5 spirit items for many years.
Yuanying cultivators would definitely disdain to come to such a place.
Even if they did not dare to go to the Seven Stars Heavenly Palace to compete for opportunities, their goal would be a grade-6 spirit vein.
There would not be too much of a threat near the grade-5 spirit vein.
Riding the grade-4 flying boat, he soon arrived near the wood-attribute spirit vein.
There was a large forest with a radius of 500 miles, and there were all kinds of plants.
Unfortunately, there were no more grade-4 spirit plants or above.
There were also traces of a large number of cultivators in the forest. It seemed that other cultivators had beaten them to it.
Wang Daoyuan found a place with dense vegetation and used the Flying Sand Escape to enter the ground and arrived beside the spirit vein.
A grade-5 spirit vein was indeed extraordinary. The spirit vein crystal was jade-like in color and was transparent, emitting rich wood-attribute spirit qi.
He used the Dust Returning Flame to burn a ten-foot square stone room next to the spirit vein crystal. He set up a spirit gathering array and led a large amount of wood-attribute spirit qi into the stone room. He then used the Life Spirit Fire to ignite the spirit qi.
The more laws one comprehended, the better the reference effect, and the shorter the time needed to comprehend new elemental laws.
This time, he only used three days to comprehend the wood-attribute law.
He did not pay attention to the spirit vein. Cutting off a section of the spirit vein crystal alone was not very useful.
If he wanted to obtain the entire spirit vein, he would have to dig out the entire spirit vein crystal, which was too time-consuming.
Wang Daoyuan did not have time to waste on it. After comprehending the wood-attribute law, he left the forest.
There was only one metal-attribute law left. His Returning Origin Sword Intent focused on killing. By deepening his understanding of the metal-attribute law, it could greatly increase his strength.
According to the records in the book, the nearest metal-type spirit vein was about thirty thousand miles to the southwest.
It was a small mountain range called the Golden Sun Mountain. In the mountain range, there was a Rank 5 Spirit Vein and a Rank 6 Spirit Vein.
Back when the Imperial Regency was still around, a large number of puppets would be brought over to mine ores every time the secret realm opened.
Now, it was almost empty. However, there were still many Golden Core cultivators who went there every year to try their luck.
After all, it was a sixth tier refining material. If he could pick up a piece, it would be a huge profit.
Every time the Seven Star Secret Realm opened, there would be cultivators who would pick up scraps of Tier 6 crafting materials.
As a result, it was always quite lively over there.
Wang Daoyuan was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, so he would not be too conspicuous there.
It took them more than four hours to arrive at Gold Sun Mountain on the flying boat.
After using the Spirit Seeking Compass to find the general direction of the spirit vein, he entered the mine.
Since he had been concealing his aura, he had not been discovered by the Golden Core cultivators.
Wang Daoyuan was not interested in the Rank 6 ores. After reaching the Soul Formation Realm, he could get as many ores as he wanted.
The most important thing now was to break through the realm as soon as possible. After reaching the Yuanying Realm, he would go to the Seven Stars Heavenly Palace to try his luck.
If he was lucky, he might be able to collect enough spirit herbs to return to Beiyuan Xiuxian.
He found a crack in the rock layer and used the Sand Escape to enter it.
He followed the crack to a depth of more than ten thousand feet.
It was still the same old method. He found the location of the metal-type spirit vein crystal, opened up a stone room, and set up a Spirit Gathering Array to attract the metal-type spirit energy.
After igniting the Taiyi Golden Flame, he extracted the spirit energy from it and comprehended the laws.
This time, the speed of comprehension was faster. It only took him two days.
His comprehension of the Five Elements had reached the point where it was enough to break through. It was time to look for spiritual items to form his Nascent Soul.
Cultivators with five spirit veins could attempt to break their core and form their Nascent Soul without the help of external items.
Whether they succeeded or not was another matter. There was no guarantee that they could break their core and form their Nascent Soul.
The later Heavenly Tribulations would be even more dangerous. With an inferior-grade Tier 5 defensive Dharma artifact, the first five Heavenly Tribulations would not be much of a problem. At most, he would be slightly injured.
The later Divine Power Tribulations would not be easy.
He would need to use his own Divine Power to fight against the Heavenly Tribulations.
Wang Daoyuan's comprehension of lesser Divine Power was not strong enough. The threat of the Divine Power Tribulations was too great.
Just as he was about to leave this place and look for spiritual items to help him form his Nascent Soul, he suddenly felt an unusual metal-type spirit energy fluctuation coming from the spirit vein.
This fluctuation was very weak. If not for his recent improvement in metal-type laws and the increase in his ability to sense metal-type spiritual items, he would not have been able to detect this fluctuation.
It was like a spirit vein crystal, but there were obvious differences.
It did not exceed Tier 5, so it should not be the leftovers of ores.
It was not strange for a superior-grade Tier 5 spirit vein to give birth to treasures. It was a good opportunity to investigate.
It had been ten days since he entered the Seven Stars Secret Realm. There were still twenty days before the secret realm closed. He had plenty of time.
He released the Returning Dust Flame and Grand Unity Golden Flames to burn a tunnel in the rock stratum. Then, he groped his way to the place where the spiritual fluctuation came from.
The distance was not far. After a few minutes, Wang Daoyuan dug his way over.
When he reached the place, he saw a one-foot-long silver crystal growing out of the spirit vein crystal.
This crystal looked familiar. It was very similar to the Earth Essence in the space of the Spiritual Pearl. It was just that their attributes were different.
This thing was most likely Hepta Gold Essence. It was a treasure that could only be nurtured by a metal-type spirit vein of Tier 4 and above.
This was nurtured by a superior-grade Tier 5 spirit vein. If he took out a small piece and merged it with a small metal-type spirit vein, he would be able to nurture it.
After a thousand years, the spirit vein might rise to Tier 5.
Apart from that, he could also forge some high-grade Dharma artifacts, especially offensive ones. Adding Hepta Gold Essence would increase their power.
When he reforged the White Tiger Blade in the future, he could add it in.
Wang Daoyuan took out the White Tiger Blade and slashed the Hepta Gold Essence.
It was similar to the Earth Essence. Although it contained extremely pure spiritual energy, it was not very strong.
He kept it in the space of the Spiritual Pearl and placed it on the metal-type spirit vein.
After the two grew together, the Hepta Gold Essence could promote the advancement of the spirit vein. The spirit vein could also promote the growth of the Hepta Gold Essence.
After obtaining the benefits, Wang Daoyuan went back the way he came and returned to the mine.
He planned to leave the Golden Sun Mountain to look for spiritual items that could help him form his Nascent Soul.
He walked out of the mine and found a secluded place. He took out a Tier 4 flying boat and flew towards the west.
After flying for a few dozen miles, a golden light as thick as a water bucket shot over.
This golden light was extremely fast and contained metal-type laws.
Wang Daoyuan did not care about the flying boat. He hurriedly used the Sky Splitting Sword Teleportation to dodge the attack.
Under the golden light, the flying boat was split into two.
A surprised voice sounded, "What a powerful junior. You can actually dodge my attack. Moreover, you're a sword cultivator.
Junior, you've only been in the Golden Sun Mountain for two days and left in a hurry.
You must have obtained something good. Give it to me and I'll spare your life.
If you don't hand it over, I'll take your life as well. "
Wang Daoyuan was still in shock. From the power of laws contained in the golden light and the words of the attacker, he knew that this person was a Yuanying cultivator.
Just as he was hesitating, another golden light suddenly appeared and attacked him.
Wang Daoyuan did not take the attack. He only took out a low-grade Tier 5 sword and used the Sky Splitting Sword Teleportation to escape again. However, this golden light chased after him relentlessly.
Helpless, he could only use the Sword Shadow Divine Light Technique to block the golden light.
Ten sword shadows slashed at the golden light.
The sword shadows directly melted when they met the golden light.
It took eight sword shadows to exhaust the power of the golden light.
This time, Wang Daoyuan was relieved. The opponent was an early-stage Yuanying cultivator. He still had the strength to fight.
