Yan Zhaoge's expression was firm as he was neither flustered nor flustered.
Whether a young man was confident or just bluffing, it was not hard for Infinite Boundless Mountain's Martial Grandmasters to discern.
Elder Zuo didn't say anything. The Mystic Stone Elder frowned again.
As for Infinite Boundless Mountain's longtime Elder Shan Shiweng, the one with the highest cultivation base of the three who had accompanied Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu over from Infinite Boundless Mountain, his expression eased slightly.
Shan Shiweng looked at Yan Zhaoge, "What did you just say?"
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands, "This place is close to the source of the Yin Yang Cloud Spring. If a great fire were to be lit, the fire qi would affect the balance of yin and yang within the spring."
"The water vein of the Yin Yang Cloud goes straight to the foot of the Cloud Portent Mountain and connects with the earth vein. During this period of time, the balance of the energy vein will change, and it will affect the Spiritual Qi of the earth vein surrounding the entire Cloud Portent Mountain."
"To martial artists of my generation, the effects in this area are not obvious. But to the Giant Spirit Magnetite, which has already been damaged, the slightest change in the surrounding environment will have an effect."
Yan Zhaoge paused for a moment before continuing, "Coincidentally, as the fire qi entered the ground, the spiritual qi of the earth veins automatically adjusted itself, originally tending to become more yin cold, neutralizing the external fire qi."
"And the earth veins lean towards the cold, which will further damage the marrow of the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein."
The crowd of Infinite Boundless Mountain martial practitioners, whether at a loss or unconvinced, wanted to rebuke Yan Zhaoge, but due to the presence of their clan's Seniors, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Ji Hanru knit his brows tightly as he gazed at Yan Zhaoge.
Shan Shiweng and Elder Zuo didn't say anything, but the Magnetite Elder opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "The earth veins lean towards Yin and cold. Will it harm the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein?"
To Infinite Boundless Mountain, Giant Spirit Magnetite was one of the most important resources, virtually accompanying the entire history of Infinite Boundless Mountain's development and rise to prominence.
Infinite Boundless Mountain naturally had an in-depth understanding of Giant Spirit Magnetite.
As the First Seat Elder, the Magnetite Elder was specifically responsible for keeping watch over the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein in Cloud Portent Mountain. His knowledge of Giant Spirit Magnetite was one of the top few in the entire Infinite Boundless Mountain.
Yan Zhaoge's words surpassed what he knew, but combined with what he knew of the situation, he vaguely felt that it made sense.
With the matter at stake, the Magnetite Elder did not directly and arbitrarily reprimand Yan Zhaoge. However, the doubt in his tone could not be any more obvious.
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "The Giant Spirit Magnetite stoutly stores essence, its spiritual qi vigorous as one, not seeming to be involved in the separation of yin and yang."
"However, in the process of the birth of such spirit stones, there is a process of Yin and Yang merging."
"The reason why your clan's two mines in Infinite Boundless Mountain and here have successively dried up is because your method of mining Giant Spirit Magnetite is to violently excavate with the power of masculinity."
"In order to deal with this external Yang heat, the vein where the mine is located produces its own Yin cold to neutralize it."
"In the long run, as time passes, the cold Yin energy will damage the marrow of the mine, so the Giant Spirit Magnetite produced by the mine will become less and less, until it finally dried up."
Yan Zhaoge spoke frankly with assurance, smooth and organized, "You might have discovered the changes in yin and yang in the surrounding spiritual qi of the ore vein, but not understanding the principles behind Giant Spirit Magnetite, you did not connect it to this aspect."
At this point, not only the Mystic Stone Elder, but Shan Shiweng and Elder Zuo also fell into deep thought.
After a while, Elder Zuo asked, "But, how do you know about these things?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I have let Senior see a joke. Ever since young, I have been fond of miscellaneous studies, liking to consult ancient texts and study ancient characters, especially being fascinated by the legacies of before the Great Calamity. In the past, because of this, I even somewhat delayed my cultivation in the martial dao, causing the Seniors of my clan to be rather dissatisfied."
"Saying this might be a little offensive, but Seniors should all know that the Giant Spirit Profound Art was not created by your clan's founder."
One of the foundations of Infinite Boundless Mountain, its core martial art, the Giant Spirit Profound Art, was a martial scripture that had existed before the Great Calamity.
Infinite Boundless Mountain's founder had obtained a remnant portion of it, researching and cultivating in it, perfecting and deriving it, finally forming the current Giant Spirit Profound Art.
A considerable number of martial scriptures of the current Eight Extremities World had come from this way, just that the Giant Spirit Profound Art that Infinite Boundless Mountain's founder had obtained back then was comparatively more complete.
Therefore, the current Giant Spirit Profound Art was also more similar to the ancient chapters of before the Great Calamity.
Infinite Boundless Mountain had never denied this point. Shan Shiweng directly nodded, "That's right."
He looked at Yan Zhaoge, "The meaning of your words is that you have obtained the complete Giant Spirit Profound Art of before the Great Calamity?"
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "Naturally not. Sorting through the ancient texts, what I obtained was some information regarding the Giant Spirit Clan of before the Great Calamity."
Before the Great Calamity, there had been a powerful power known as the Giant Spirit Clan. The Giant Spirit Profound Art had once been a martial art of the Giant Spirit Clan.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Before the Great Calamity, those of the Giant Spirit Clan who cultivated in the Giant Spirit Profound Art had already begun to make use of Giant Spirit Magnetite. Amongst them, they also naturally had their own research regarding the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein."
"Daring to recommend myself to come to this Cloud Portent Mountain, I naturally wouldn't speak without thinking, speaking without thinking."
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "The damage caused by the cold yin qi to the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein is accumulated over a long period of time. Normally, it would not be obvious, but now that the pith of the vein has already been damaged, even a slight change would actually be very obvious."
"Your clan's people didn't realise this problem before, or perhaps didn't pay attention to it. However, now that they are already aware of it, entering the pith of the vein and carefully inspecting it, I believe that they will discover that what I said is not false."
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge smiled and kept his mouth shut, his hands behind his back as he stood silently where he was.
The Magnetite Elder was silent for a moment, before he said in a heavy tone, "I'll go down and take a look."
Shan Shiweng nodded lightly.
Ji Hanru and the other Infinite Boundless Mountain disciples all felt a little awkward for a moment.
They hoped that the truth would prove that Yan Zhaoge was speaking nonsense. Otherwise, they would really lose a lot of face this time.
The person who had set the fire to the point of endangering the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein was related to their clan.
Broad Creed Mountain's people had instead become the ones who had helped to put out the fire. Their own clan having been beaten up earlier, not only had they suffered it for nothing, they instead had to thank and apologise to the other party.
Being slapped and still having to smile apologetically, this was already not something that could be described with just the word 'aggrieved'.
Elder Zuo stared at Yan Zhaoge, "If it is really as you say, our clan will first thank your clan for your great kindness. However, with such a secret, no one knows of it. The person who set the fire was also in a situation where they were unaware."
"Rules cannot be broken lightly. Matters that occur within the territory of my Infinite Boundless Mountain naturally have our clan's rules to deal with them. When have we ever needed others to interfere and do it for us?"
Yan Zhaoge said calmly, "If there was enough time, I would also like to wait for Infinite Boundless Mountain's senior apprentice-brothers to rush over to deal with it. Time is pressing, and we have been presumptuous."
Elder Zuo's eyes narrowed, as Fu Enshu glanced at him from the side, "Zuo Cheng, are you looking for trouble?"
"If you want to shed all pretenses of cordiality, then let's have a proper talk."
"Just having arrived here, there's already someone causing trouble; is all this really just a coincidence?" Fu Enshu's brows gradually rose, "Do you take me for a fool, or do you think that my Broad Creed Mountain is easy to bully?"
Infinite Boundless Mountain's Elder Zuo's expression was heavy, "Fu Enshu …"
Not waiting for him to finish, Shan Shiweng raised his palm, saying slowly, "Everything, shall wait for the Magnetite to return before we speak."
Elder Zuo glanced at Shan Shiweng, who met his gaze calmly.
The seemingly old Shan Shiweng who rarely expressed his opinions was the one with the highest cultivation base and seniority amongst the three bigwigs of Infinite Boundless Mountain.
Elder Zuo retracted his gaze, falling silent.
But a moment later, the Magnetite Elder had already returned, his expression grave as he nodded towards Shan Shiweng and Elder Zuo.
Without needing to speak, just looking at his expression, the other Infinite Boundless Mountain martial practitioners all felt the world before their eyes go dark.
