"Brother Yi Yun, are you saying that … that's it?"
Tie Mu was taken aback. The terrifying explosion that had nearly left him in despair had been resolved by Yi Yun in a few moments? The entire process did not even take more than three seconds. Was that true?
But when he looked at Songyue, he knew that Yi Yun had truly resolved the problem. This was because he saw Songyue clearly heave a sigh of relief.
If not for Songyue still needing to control the Crystal Refining Furnace, she would probably have slumped to the ground.
"Brother Yi Yun, how did you do it?" Tie Mu's shock could not be any greater. He had originally thought that Yi Yun would come to the mining spirit cruiser in a half-dead state. He thought that he was destined to be cannon fodder, but he never expected Yi Yun to have such capabilities.
"Does the universe you come from also have Crystal Refinement Masters?" asked Tie Mu out of curiosity.
Yi Yun shook his head. Back in the lower realm, he had Desolate Heaven Masters. The 12 Empyrean Heavens and the Sinkhole had alchemists. The two were of the same lineage, but due to the Tian Yuan world's different materials, there was such a difference.
As for Crystal Refinement Masters, this was the first time Yi Yun had heard of them. He had never even imagined that ore refinement could be a profession.
"I don't think so either. Only in the multiverse rift would there be Chaos Crystal ores …"
"But that's impossible. You don't even know Crystal Refinement Arts, so how …" Tie Mu looked puzzled.
"Alright, stop asking." Songyue interrupted Tie Mu. She could tell that Yi Yun did not wish to delve into the topic.
But without a doubt, Yi Yun had something extraordinary about him. It was very likely a mystic art that came from the universe he came from. It might even be a domain that the Chaos Heavens had never dabbled in.
"Oh!?"
At that moment, Yi Yun's heart tightened. At that instant, he sensed a powerful perception sweep past him!
Although the perception was concealed, it contained a massive suppressive might. It made him instantly feel like his soul sea had been seen through.
Godly Monarch!
Yi Yun knew that it was the perception of the Godly Monarch Crystal Refinement Master above the immortal palace. Although he did not pay much attention to the juniors' alchemy, he had still sensed something amiss.
"Concentrate!"
Bai Yueyin's voice resounded in Yi Yun's mind. In fact, even without Bai Yueyin's instruction, Yi Yun had already done so. Ever since he stepped into the pocket world that was used for refining ores, he had constantly converged his dantian, carefully hiding all his Yuan Qi and mental strength.
At that moment, Yi Yun sensed that Bai Yueyin's soul force was spreading out like a spider web as it fused with his soul sea.
At this critical moment, Yi Yun did not resist Bai Yueyin. They were all in the same boat. If anything happened to Yi Yun, Bai Yueyin would not survive either.
"Phew —"
The Godly Monarch scanned Yi Yun with his perception but did not discover anything abnormal about him. Even Yi Yun's cultivation level was concealed.
Yi Yun's soul was powerful to begin with. Together with an ancient Godly Monarch like Bai Yueyin, even the Godly Monarch Crystal Refinement Masters of the immortal palace were unable to sense anything amiss when the duo joined forces.
"This little fellow is rather interesting …"
In the Immortal Palace of the pocket world, an old man in purple, shrouded in a layer of black mist, opened his eyes, but then he closed them again.
He had lived for a long period of time, and there were few things in the world that could interest him.
He did not pay attention to Songyue's crystal refinement process. All he knew was that something had happened to her Crystal Refining Furnace. He thought nothing of it to begin with, for such trivial matters like a furnace explosion was not something he cared about. However, he never expected that the expected explosion did not happen. The Crystal Refining Furnace miraculously calmed down, and the person who resolved the explosion was apparently the frail Yi Yun.
This surprised the purple-dressed elder, but it was only a surprise. In his long lifespan, there were countless juniors with abilities and secrets. To gain his attention, one had to reach a certain level.
Over the past hundred million years, only a handful of juniors had garnered his attention. These people had all been taken in as disciples by him. As for Yi Yun, he was still quite a distance away from that level.
"Yi Yun, thank you. I'm sorry for mocking you previously." Songyue was a person who could afford to let go. Although Yi Yun had taken advantage of her misfortune, taking away all the savings she had accumulated over the past three years, the savings that she had scrimped and saved for her breakthrough to the Supremacy realm, Songyue felt that it was better than paying a huge price.
Even though the price was immense, Songyue felt that it was better than a cauldron explosion. She did not wish to implicate Tie Mu and Taishan, much less lose the opportunity to become Master Duanmu's apprentice.
"Did you just say that I offended someone and was set up?" asked Songyue as she recalled Yi Yun's words.
"That should be the case. The ores you used were tampered with."
"Then, I roughly know who it is …" Songyue took a deep breath as a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
She never expected the other party to choose this critical juncture to attack her. It was truly sinister when she had a high chance of becoming Master Duanmu's disciple.
"In that case, be careful. I wish to return and cultivate in seclusion. I won't be accompanying you for the time being."
Yi Yun did not really intend to refine the ores. He only wanted to fish in troubled waters and use the Purple Crystal to absorb some energy to restore his strength. Later, his plans fell through. It was all thanks to Songyue that he was able to resolve his desperate situation.
"Alright, there's indeed no need for you to do such a thing. However … you still have to be careful of Cang Gu …" warned Songyue.
"Thank you." Yi Yun bade Songyue farewell and returned to his residence.
The moment he entered his room, Yi Yun immediately set up restrictions to prevent himself from being monitored. At the same time, Bai Yueyin released her perception from Yi Yun's soul sea to help him probe his surroundings.
With Bai Yueyin's perception at the Godly Monarch level, there was basically nothing that could escape her eyes.
"Continue cultivating. It's unlikely anyone will notice you on this mining ship. Quickly replenish Xintong's lifeblood powers."
"Got it."
Yi Yun entered the God Advent Tower's space and took out Songyue's interspatial ring. With a swipe of his hand, a huge pile of ore slag appeared in front of Yi Yun.
There were more than fifty thousand kilograms!
To other warriors, although more than fifty thousand kilograms of ore slag was valuable, it could only be used to fertilize the fields. It was just too slow to absorb the energy in the ore slag for cultivation. The losses outweighed the gains.
However, Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal, so such problems naturally did not exist.
His thoughts sank into the Purple Crystal as a purple energy vortex appeared in Yi Yun's dantian. Immediately, the pocket world in the God Advent Tower seemed to stir a storm.
More than fifty thousand kilograms of ore slag was pulverized by the storm. The energy contained within was forcefully sucked out by the Purple Crystal.
Wu Wu Wu!
As the storm spun, Yi Yun felt his weak dantian suddenly receive a precious spring rain like a riverbed that had been dry for more than a decade.
His Primordial Qi was constantly rising!
His strength had returned!
After being weak for so long, the feeling of suddenly regaining strength left Yi Yun intoxicated.
However, this was still not enough!
Yi Yun's dantian was as deep as the sea. Although the spring rain had allowed him to recover some of his strength, he was still far from his peak.
"That's it …"
Yi Yun felt a sense of longing as he watched the ore slag that had piled up into a small mountain turn to ash.
It was too little. He had been starving for more than a decade. The few kilograms of ore from before felt like he had eaten a grain of rice. But now, more than fifty thousand kilograms of ore slag was at most equivalent to eating a mouthful of rice.
His dantian was still very empty.
"The energy contained in the ore slag is ultimately inferior to the ore's purity. I feel that it's a little lacking, but I wonder how effective these ores are …"
Yi Yun took out an exquisite wooden chest from Songyue's interspatial ring. After opening it, he saw neatly stacked hexagonal crystals.
Every hexagonal crystal was left with energy patterns that made it look extremely beautiful.
"Oh? There are markings on these ores? "
Yi Yun noticed that every hexagonal crystal had a label. On it were the days, months, and years of the Chaos calendar. Yi Yun guessed that it was likely the time Songyue obtained each hexagonal crystal.
Upon seeing this scene, Yi Yun felt his heart ache for Songyue. She had such a special habit, probably because refined ores were so rare that she cherished every piece.
"It's not easy living in the Chaos Heavens for Songyue. I took away all her savings in one go. She must be feeling the pinch. Once I recover my strength, I'll return these things to her … "
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun summoned the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm.
The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was originally sleeping. The little fellow was already extremely weak. Its plump and plump body was now dry and shriveled, like a tiny sea cucumber that had been exposed to the sun.
The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was extremely unwilling to be awakened from its slumber, but before it could express its displeasure, its tiny nose suddenly twitched.
Oh!?
The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm widened its eyes as it stared unblinkingly at the chest of refined ores in Yi Yun's hand.
Yi Yun's psyche was connected to the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm, so he could sense its intense desire to devour the refined ores. In fact, there was no need for him to feel it. The little fellow's saliva was already three inches long. He could even see it.
"Don't even think of eating it all. I'll take half, you take half."
Yi Yun knew that the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was a super glutton. This bit of refined ores was not even enough for its pre-meal snacks.
"Wu Wu …"
The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm felt aggrieved upon learning that there was not much to eat.
"Eat it. In a while, I'll get you some spirit herbs that can replenish your lifeblood."
Refined ores could only replenish one's energy. The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm and Lin Xintong needed to replenish their lifeblood. This required Yi Yun to find some natural treasures.
As for the natural treasures in the Chaos Heavens, they were definitely of great value. To obtain them, Yi Yun naturally needed to earn large amounts of wealth.
All of this needed to be considered at length.
Yi Yun temporarily ignored these matters. He sat cross-legged in the God Advent Tower's space and casually patted it. The remaining refined ores in the wooden chest shattered, transforming into wisps of pure energy that flew towards Yi Yun.
In just thirty seconds, the refined ores had been reduced to white powder. Yi Yun absorbed the energy within the ores, nourishing his dantian further as his strength increased.
"The effects of refined ores are indeed much better than crude ores."
Yi Yun's eyes lit up. He discovered that the energy in the Chaos Ores had been purified to a much better quality. It was just like those natural treasures. Although eating them directly was beneficial to warriors, the effects would be better if they were refined into pills before being consumed.
