Hearing her words, Yan Di and the others all looked towards Yuan Zhengfeng and Fu Enshu.
Yuan Zhengfeng smiled, nodding, "The stones of other mountains can be used to improve jade; it indeed has its unique points."
Fu Enshu also said, "Obtaining this treasure might be an unexpected surprise for our clan."
Whatever their personality, whatever their aptitude, all martial practitioners who were able to walk to a higher level were more passionate about the martial dao itself.
Hearing that the crimson pagoda had such a use, Yan Di and the others were all interested as they all came before it.
"One person at a time; there would instead be no reaction if there were too many," Saying so, Yan Zhaoge retreated to the side.
Yan Di first placed his palm on the crimson pagoda, infusing his essence within as the pagoda instantly shook slightly.
After a long time, Yan Di released his hand, not speaking as a look of deep thought appeared on his face as he stood where he was.
The other bigwigs of the clan came forward one after another, taking turns to touch that crimson pagoda.
After doing so, a pondering look appeared on everyone's face as they remained silent and focused.
Yan Zhaoge, Yuan Zhengfeng and Fu Enshu stood by the side, looking at each other as they all smiled. After analysing the crimson pagoda earlier, they had all been the same.
They did not rush Yan Di and the others as they all stood where they were, waiting patiently.
After a while, everyone who had been analysing the crimson pagoda regained their wits.
The Grand Elder, Elder Zhang, clicked his tongue in praise, "It indeed has its own profundities. Perhaps the direct gains are limited, but connecting it with what we have learnt in the past, some new ideas seem to have arisen."
"However, it was like a flash of inspiration. Grasping it, we still have to carefully reflect on it."
Beside him, Elder He directly said, "Enshu is right; it is indeed a pleasant surprise."
She looked around and said, "It's always extremely difficult to make any progress. At our current cultivation level, it's extremely difficult to make any progress. It's very difficult to rely on external forces, so we can only explore and work on our own."
"Now, first there was that stone pillar that Zhaoge brought back from the Great Western Desert, and now there is this Ice Fire Pagoda. Grasping these two consecutive fortuitous encounters, for our Broad Creed Mountain as a whole, they hold extraordinary significance!"
It was not possible for a group of people's cultivation bases to advance by leaps and bounds at the same time.
Just like what Elder He had said, it was always very difficult to take a step forward from the highest level of enlightenment.
Especially for Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters like Yan Di, her and Elder Zhang.
One more step and he would be a Martial Saint. Transcending mortality and entering sainthood was extremely difficult.
However, it was precisely because of this that if one could make real progress, even if it was not a breakthrough to the next realm, the results would still be very impressive.
After all, this was not a single person, but rather all of Broad Creed Mountain's higher echelon experts as a whole, possibly taking half a step forward together.
It might seem inconspicuous, but in many cases, in a battle between experts, the slightest difference could determine victory or defeat.
Originally, Broad Creed Mountain's Martial Grandmasters had already presided over the six great Sacred Grounds.
While Yuan Zhengfeng had stepped into the Martial Saint realm and Xin Dongping had been killed, causing Broad Creed Mountain to instantly lose two peak Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters,
However, Yan Di having stepped into the peak of the tenth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm, it would be sufficient for Broad Creed Mountain to continue dominating the Martial Grandmaster realm.
In the hearts of the martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World, Yan Di was treated differently.
Now that he had entered the Exceptional State, his opponents were no longer Martial Grandmasters, but Martial Sacred Experts.
After the great battle of Broad Creed Mountain, in the eyes of many, Broad Creed Mountain had the potential to regain the throne of the number one Sacred Ground.
Other than Yuan Zhengfeng having successfully stepped into the Martial Saint realm and the Sacred Sun Clan having lost the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, there were two other reasons for this.
One was that Yan Di had stepped into the ranks of Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters.
The other was that Yan Zhaoge had displayed an aura that suppressed those of his age, displaying Broad Creed Mountain's superior foundation and potential.
Under such circumstances, if all of Broad Creed Mountain's higher echelon experts could improve, even if it was just by half a step, the effects would be extremely obvious.
As a Martial Saint, Yuan Zhengfeng had also benefited from this, raising everyone's spirits even more.
Meanwhile, the three Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters were the ones worth looking forward to the most.
Everyone regained their wits, with only Yan Di and Fang Zhun still remaining in deep thought.
Seeing this, not only were they not worried, looks of joy instead appeared on their faces.
After a while, Fang Zhun, who had his eyes closed in deep thought, was the first to let out a long breath, opening his eyes.
Yuan Zhengfeng smiled, asking, "How is it?"
Fang Zhun said, "Just the distance of a piece of paper."
Everyone laughed loudly, "Good!"
After another moment, Yan Di finally opened his eyes, meeting their focused gazes as he said quietly, "I still have to think carefully."
The expressions of Yuan Zhengfeng and the others turned solemn, but they were not worried, instead carrying some anticipation.
"Right, this kind of thing depends on one's comprehension." Yuan Zhengfeng nodded slowly before saying to the others, "Because this pagoda cannot be comprehended by many at the same time, it can only be used one at a time. Therefore, within a short period of time, there must be a sequence of uses."
"This old man means to first hand it over to Yan Di, junior apprentice-brother Zhang and junior apprentice-sister He to take turns in safekeeping. Of course, Zhaoge can also use it as he pleases."
Fang Zhun and the others nodded in unison. Fang Zhun only needed that one time just now, and that would be enough for the time being. Next, he would have to enter secluded cultivation.
Yan Di said, "There should also be you, Master."
This was not out of courtesy. As a Martial Saint, if Yuan Zhengfeng could continue to improve, he would definitely be of immediate use.
As they concluded their discussions, Yuan Zhengfeng looked at Yan Zhaoge, smiling, "In order to resolve the great tribulation of Jade Sea City this time and assist in the birth of the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, Zhaoge sacrificed his Internal Crystal Furnace. Returning to the Mountain this time, hurry up and make up for it."
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "I was just waiting for you to say this."
Everyone laughed. Looking at his mischievous look, Yan Di shook his head exasperatedly, "You, you …"
After laughing, Yan Di's gaze was filled with gratification and pride, "It's almost time for the harvest."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up slightly, "What stage are you at?"
Yan Di said, "Mid-grade spirit artifacts are already no longer a problem. Our current target is high-grade spirit artifacts. Of course, high-grade spirit artifacts have a very high requirement on the materials used."
The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth arched slightly.
Broad Creed Mountain had never slacked off in improving and perfecting the Internal Crystal Furnace, especially after having cleared away the hidden dangers of the Decimating Abyss, having developed it even more vigorously.
After the battle of Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Di had taken over the position of Chief, often residing within Broad Creed Mountain, no longer leaving. Other than handling clan affairs, his attention was mainly focused on the Internal Crystal Furnace.
As Yan Zhaoge walked outside, he did not relax in his analysis of the Internal Crystal Furnace, summarizing a large amount of experience and information before unceasingly sending it back to his father.
Currently, Yan Zhaoge himself already possessed the ability to forge a large number of low-grade spirit artifacts. As long as he had sufficient materials, he could open the furnace infinitely.
Meanwhile, the problem of mid-grade spirit artifacts had also been overcome.
Yan Zhaoge had joked with his junior apprentice-brothers and sisters that when he left the clan in the future, he would be able to overwhelm his enemies with spirit artifacts.
Leaving the clan's great hall together with Yan Di, father and son walked together on the mountain path. Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di's gaze that was usually sharp and arrogant now contained a rare warmth.
"Another ten year period is about to arrive," Yan Di said softly. "As the Chief, I am currently preoccupied with matters, and it would not be good for me to leave the Mountain because of personal matters. Now that your cultivation base has gradually matured, you should make a trip to the Marsh of Illusory Sea this time."
Saying thus, he handed over an object.
Yan Zhaoge received it. It was a jade hairpin, a snow crane embroidered on it, simple, elegant, and leisurely. (To be continued.)
