Yan Zhaoge first followed Yan Di's instructions, directly retrieving the Internal Crystal Furnace that Yan Di had used earlier.
Afterwards, Yan Di would imitate it himself, forging a brand new one.
Carefully analysing this Internal Crystal Furnace, Yan Zhaoge discovered that its functions were already getting closer and closer to the Internal Crystal Furnace of before the Great Calamity in his memories.
Of course, it was still lacking, but it was already gradually starting to look somewhat similar.
In the hands of Martial Grandmasters, as long as there were sufficient materials, they would already be able to mass produce mid-grade spirit artifacts.
If it could be improved further, mass production of high-grade spirit artifacts would also be something that could be looked forward to.
Of course, limited by the craftsmanship of the Internal Crystal Furnace and its materials, there were still many difficulties for it to be overcome.
However, Yan Zhaoge was already extremely satisfied with the current situation.
After all, Sacred Artifacts were hard to come by, especially when the materials they were made of were rare and expensive. It could be temporarily put aside. When high-grade spirit artifacts could be mass produced, with sufficient materials, Broad Creed Mountain's strength would skyrocket.
The invasion of the Flame Devils caused the overall situation of the Eight Extremities World to change somewhat.
To the alliance of Broad Creed Mountain, Jade Sea City and Infinite Boundless Mountain, the birth of the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword had caused their overall strength to rise, their advantage over the Thunderfire Alliance of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall becoming even more obvious.
However, Jade Sea City had met with a great calamity, its Lord, the Jade Sea Martial Saint Song Wuliang, having been heavily injured and needing to recuperate, its guardian grand formation, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation, having been completely shattered and needing to be set up anew.
During this period of time, the overall strength of the alliance of Broad Creed Mountain's three clans had temporarily fallen into a low ebb.
It was very hard to imagine that the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall would not make use of this chance to seize the initiative.
After all, after Jade Sea City had recovered, the disadvantage of their two clans would be even more obvious, even dangerous.
During this period of time when Jade Sea City was recuperating, Broad Creed Mountain and Infinite Boundless Mountain would also need to be more vigilant.
With the improvement of the Internal Crystal Furnace, combined with the assistance of the pillar of the Divine Palace and the crimson tower, Broad Creed Mountain's accumulated strength was growing more and more robust.
It was still that old adage: either weaken the opponent, or improve oneself.
Yan Zhaoge's schemes in the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains, or his super long distance Profound Boundless Mountain, was the former.
Refining the Heaven Returning Divine Pill to help Yuan Zhengfeng recover from his injuries and achieve a breakthrough, studying the Internal Crystal Furnace, and exploring the ruins of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint's old residence were all the latter.
Unceasingly accumulating, Broad Creed Mountain now truly had the momentum to return to being the number one Sacred Ground of the Eight Extremities World.
If no major accidents occurred and the current situation continued to develop, Broad Creed Mountain's advantage would only grow greater and greater until it completely left the Sacred Sun Clan and the other powers in the dust.
However, his opponent was not a dead person, nor was he a saint. He would not ignore the situation in front of him.
Therefore, what followed next was the most crucial period.
Stroking the Internal Crystal Furnace before him with his finger, Yan Zhaoge lightly patted its body, its lid opening, before placing a dark green bamboo branch that flickered with a purple light within.
Back then, he had invested many treasures and several spirit weapons in hopes of forging a unique treasure that belonged to him. Now, he had already seen the initial form.
In the Extreme North Ice Plains, at the bottom of the East Sea, he had tested his skills.
At the same time as it was being used, Yan Zhaoge was also unceasingly experimenting and receiving feedback so as to facilitate his subsequent refinement.
The bamboo branch entered the Internal Crystal Furnace. After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge threw the Radiant Sun Wheel and the Flying Thunder Sabre within.
Two streaks of light shot out from the mouth of the furnace, and the Internal Crystal Furnace began to rumble and shake.
Many of the supreme treasures of the Earth Domain that he had obtained from Xin Dongping, as well as many treasures that he had obtained from the old residence of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint this time, were also thrown within.
Streams of mist rose within the Internal Crystal Furnace, the light of treasures flickering unceasingly, shocking people's hearts.
Yan Zhaoge's hands pressed down on the two halves of the furnace, his fist-intent and true essence stabilising the Internal Crystal Furnace together as he controlled it to circulate according to his will.
After a long time, Yan Zhaoge patted the furnace, its lid closing.
The Internal Crystal Furnace's circulation seemed to have stabilised, but it still emitted rumbling sounds from time to time as it shook unceasingly.
Yan Zhaoge smiled. Following this, it would be time for the tempering and tempering of the furnace.
Keeping the Internal Crystal Furnace, Yan Zhaoge left his room, walking amongst the mountains.
Next, he did not first visit Feng Yunsheng, Ying Longtu and the others, instead going somewhere else.
That had originally been the residence of his eldest apprentice-uncle, Shi Tie.
Arriving at the door, Yan Zhaoge focused his attention and listened carefully, vaguely hearing a human voice resound, "The Great Heaven Earth Sword forms the extreme complexity within the extreme simplicity, while the Big Dipper Sword conceals the extreme simplicity within the extreme complexity. While the two seem to walk different extremes, there are actually similarities between them."
"The great daos of this world, when reached a profound level, all have the profundities of different paths leading to the same destination. Think about it carefully."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly. That was Xue Fei's voice.
Xue Fei did not live here, having come here to impart lessons to another person.
Logically speaking, it should be the disciple going to the Master's place, and not the Master coming to the disciple's residence. However, Xue Fei was clearly more than happy to come here himself.
Yan Zhaoge did not conceal his movements. As he neared, Xue Fei immediately sensed him, halting his lesson as he asked loudly, "Is it junior apprentice-brother Yan?"
"It's me. I'm not disturbing you, am I?" Yan Zhaoge smiled as he asked.
The great door before him moved on its own, opening for Yan Zhaoge. Looking within, Yan Zhaoge saw Xue Fei currently standing on the empty ground in the middle of the courtyard, a youth standing beside him.
That youth was around ten years of age, his features somewhat similar to Shi Tie and Shi Songtao, just that the shape of his face was different as it was not squarish, his chin appearing slightly pointier.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, he instantly smiled, "Little senior apprentice-uncle Yan."
The youth was precisely Shi Tie's grandson, Shi Songtao's son, Shi Jun. His features resembled his father's greatly, while the shape of his face was that of his mother, Ying Yuzhen.
"How do you feel? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Yan Zhaoge walked in, appraising Shi Jun all over as he felt extremely emotional.
In his conversation with his father Yan Di just now, Yan Di had specifically mentioned Shi Jun.
Yan Di was extremely satisfied with Yan Zhaoge's trip to the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains, of which he was the most satisfied with Shi Jun and his mother, having regained hope of living.
Regarding this, Yan Zhaoge also felt rather gratified.
Shi Jun shook his head, "I'm very good, just that mother still hasn't woken up."
Yan Zhaoge patted Shi Jun's shoulder lightly, "Rest easy, the heavens help the worthy."
Shi Jun nodded silently.
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Xu Fei, extending his right hand and clenching it into a fist. Xu Fei did the same, their fists clashing lightly in mid-air, everything unspoken.
Without needing Yan Zhaoge to ask, Xu Fei sent over via sound transmission, "Jun 'er is precocious. After waking up, the speed at which his mind matured was even faster than expected, resembling a little adult."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "I can see that."
Xu Fei said, "I've already told him all that I can."
Yan Zhaoge glanced at Shi Jun from the corner of his eye, "He still looks pretty good."
"He just looks pretty good." Xu Fei pressed his lips together, "Right now, he is actually very sensitive. Precocious is not a bad thing, but the fate of Master's family is too deeply entangled, causing him to easily overthink things."
"Right now, it is because he has always been thinking about one thing in his heart, and that is his mother."
