"Hahaha, Brother Yi, you have to watch carefully. Although I'm not a Crystal Refinement Master, I'm an expert when it comes to being an assistant. You should learn how I do it. Once you master it, it will be a skill as well. If you catch up to my level and with a bit of luck, you might catch the eye of a great Crystal Refinement Master in Taixia. They might even take you in as an apprentice. You would be rich then. "
Tie Mu flaunted. But beside him, Taishan mercilessly exposed him. He said in a deep, muffled voice, "With your standard, do you think you can catch the eye of a great Crystal Refinement Master? In your next life! Do you think you are Senior Sister Songyue? "
As Taishan spoke, he gave Songyue a fawning look.
Songyue said indifferently, "I'm not Master Duanmu's apprentice yet. I'm only a candidate."
"Isn't that a matter of time?" Taishan chuckled.
"Alright, stop bragging. Get to work!"
Songyue did not like such meaningless flattery. Instantly, everyone fell silent. Those who needed to fill in the ores did so, while those who needed to power the array formations did so. Clearly, Songyue enjoyed a very high standing in the team.
Yi Yun also began paying attention to Songyue's ores. Although he did not have much strength left, his mental strength was still far above Songyue's. He probed the Crystal Refining Furnace with his perception. Every energy change in the furnace did not escape Yi Yun's eyes.
So this was crystal refinement …
Yi Yun saw Songyue first mix her Yuan Qi with Taishan, Tie Mu, and company's Yuan Qi. She gathered the nomological powers and condensed them into seals.
Following that, she injected the seals into the Chaos Ores. Each seal was like a miniature Yuan Qi gathering array. The energy in the Chaos Ores was constantly absorbed by the hundreds of tiny seals. At the same time, the flames in the Crystal Refining Furnace burned away the impurities in the ores.
This process lasted for several hours. During this period, Songyue was completely focused on the Crystal Refining Furnace. She did not even blink.
Only when the final seal was filled with energy did the ores burn to a tenth of their original size. The fist-sized ores were reduced to a pile of slag.
After doing all of this, Songyue retracted all the seals.
At this time, she was already drenched in sweat. The back of her clothes was almost completely soaked, and her forehead was also covered in dense beads of sweat.
With her realm, controlling more than a hundred hand seals at the same time not only consumed her Primordial Qi, but it also consumed a large amount of her mental strength. This caused her originally rosy cheeks to turn a little pale.
"Senior Sister Songyue." Tie Mu's heart ached as he watched. "It's too much to refine a furnace full of ores at the same time …"
"Don't talk about these useless things, Hexagon Crystal!"
"Here." Tie Mu hurriedly handed over a jade box. Songyue took out a crystalline crystal from the jade box.
"Go!"
Songyue injected more than a hundred seals into the crystal in one fell swoop. Following that, the seals slowly released energy in the crystal. The energy that spread out formed patterns that resembled blooming ice flowers.
When all the energy in the seal was released, the patterns on the ice flowers also became faint, but they did not completely disappear. Instead, they remained in the crystal, forming patterns that looked very beautiful.
This was the entire process of refining crystals.
Yi Yun pondered slightly. The process of refining crystals was somewhat similar to the process of Desolate Heaven Masters refining relics, but there were also many differences.
But when it came to the root of it, it was nothing more than the extraction and condensation of energy. And in this aspect, Yi Yun, who possessed the Purple Crystal, was truly at the godly level. No one could surpass him.
Of course, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to immediately become a Crystal Refinement Master without a teacher.
He had nearly memorized all of the hundred seals that Songyue had condensed. At Yi Yun's realm, the laws that Songyue used were extremely simple for him. If Yi Yun had Yuan Qi, he could even produce a set of seals based on what had just happened.
However, Yi Yun knew that Songyue was only a bottom-level Crystal Refinement Master. Her seals were actually very crude, and there were countless areas that could be improved upon.
The Chaos Heavens was held in high regard by Bai Yueyin because there were many more mighty figures there than the Sinkhole. Yi Yun would not underestimate the experts of the Chaos Heavens. If he wanted to refine Chaos Crystals, he needed to obtain the heritage of a Crystal Refinement Master.
"Brother Yi, how was it?" Tie Mu asked smugly, as though he was the one who had just refined the refined ores.
Yi Yun stroked his chin. He suddenly realized that Tie Mu was probably secretly in love with Songyue.
Indeed, with such a beauty by his side, it was normal for him to develop feelings for her. However, Tie Mu likely understood the gap between them. All he could do was hide his feelings deep in his heart and secretly look at Songyue. He was happy for Songyue's improvement, but that was all.
"I understand a little."
Yi Yun said casually.
"Haha, don't brag. I'm just saying casually. What can you see in such a short time? But you have to come along with me in a while. Your body is weak, so you can't just stand there. There are people watching, and you won't be paid later. "
As Tie Mu spoke, he shoveled out the slag from the Crystal Refining Furnace.
The piles of slag had turned black and gray, like coal ash.
Yi Yun looked at the slag and fell into a trance. He could clearly sense that there was about ten to twenty percent of the energy left in the slag.
The seals that Songyue condensed were not of a high nomological level. The energy extraction was not thorough, so she was unable to extract the remaining energy.
"What do we do with the slag?"
"The slag isn't of much use, but it can be sold for some money. Some herbalists use the slag to fertilize their fields, planting spirit herbs and spirit food. Taixia isn't greedy for such profits. It's customary to hand the slag to Crystal Refinement Masters to handle. It's also a way to win over some people," explained Tie Mu languidly. "Why are you asking?"
Is that so … Yi Yun felt somewhat regretful.
He originally guessed that the high-level Crystal Refinement Masters would not lower themselves to handle the slag. After all, just refining high-quality ores was too much for them.
As such, the slag that low-level Crystal Refinement Masters could not handle and high-level Crystal Refinement Masters found it beneath them to be thrown away.
However, he never expected that the Chaos Heavens could develop a method like fertilizing the fields. The resources here were truly used to their fullest potential.
Unfortunately, Yi Yun knew very well that the Godly Monarch presiding over the pocket world would not pay attention to the slag. He could have secretly extracted the energy from the slag to recover his strength.
But now, he could see that the slag had been put away by Songyue.
Songyue had been refining crystals all these years, so she must have accumulated quite a bit of slag …
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He never expected that he would be in such dire straits the moment he arrived in the Chaos Heavens. Now, he did not even mind the slag. He was even thinking about the stock that a girl had stored in her interspatial ring …
"Your name is Yi Yun, right? You can stand over here. Follow Tie Mu's method and inject your energy into the array. You can put in less effort, but you cannot just stand here. "
Songyue had just absorbed a crude ore and recovered some of her Yuan Qi. Her voice remained cold. In the Chaos Heavens where the strong preyed on the weak, there were just too many tragic people. It was impossible to sympathize with all of them. All one could do was constantly become stronger or be eliminated.
In fact, Songyue already knew that not only was Yi Yun injured, he had also offended Cang Gu. It was unlikely that he would survive, but she could not help Yi Yun either. Too many people had died in the Taixia Ancient Mining over the years.
Yi Yun stood in the array, but he did not inject his energy into the array like Tie Mu had done. Instead, he looked at Taishan, who was filling the Crystal Refining Furnace with ores. A look of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
Why are these ores …
"Yi Yun, what are you thinking about? Aren't you going to begin working? "asked Tie Mu.
Yi Yun remained silent. He discovered that one of the ores was clearly problematic. There was a tiny array hidden in it. It was not naturally formed, but seemed to have been tampered with by someone …
Could it be …
Yi Yun looked at Songyue, but she clearly did not notice anything. She was looking at Yi Yun in displeasure. "What are you waiting for? Do you want me to wait for you?"
Said Songyue unhappily. Her mission today was very important, and the new laborer was slow in everything he did.
"Your temper sure is terrible. It's no wonder you offended someone …" Yi Yun said out of the blue.
"What did you say?" Songyue knitted her brows, clearly about to flare up.
"Brother Yi, what are you talking about!?" Tie Mu jumped in fright. Yi Yun had said something out of the blue. It was unknown what would happen if he were to infuriate Senior Sister Songyue.
Yi Yun had just joined their team. Ignoring the fact that he had offended Captain Cang Gu, was he going to offend Songyue as well?
"If you continue refining like this, the furnace will explode," said Yi Yun indifferently.
What?
The moment Yi Yun said that, Tie Mu and Taishan were dumbfounded. Once a Crystal Refinement Master's furnace exploded, the losses would be immense. Even Songyue would be in trouble. The word was taboo to them, but Yi Yun had said it so casually.
"Interesting! I've refined crystals for so many years, but I never expected to be mocked by a rookie who doesn't know anything about refinement, "said Songyue with a sneer.
Songyue said with a sneer. From her point of view, Yi Yun was only playing to the gallery.
In fact, Songyue was not an obstinate person. On the contrary, she knew her place very well. However, Yi Yun had just asked Tie Mu what a Crystal Refinement Master was. How could she believe the alarmist talk of such a person?
"If you do not wish to do any work, you can back out. Of course, I won't be paying you for today's crystal refinement. I've already done my best by letting you watch from the sidelines for a few hours. I never expected you to not appreciate my kindness and even curse me to explode my furnace," said Songyue coldly.
She wanted to become Master Duanmu's apprentice. Over the past few days, she had been constantly forcing herself to make a breakthrough in Crystal Refinement. She was already feeling extremely vexed due to the immense pressure she was under. Now, she had encountered a person like Yi Yun who said that she would explode her furnace the moment he opened his mouth. It was obvious how furious she was.
