During fire-mining, one's cultivation level and personal strength had a significant influence on the amount of fire mined. However, the greatest influence was the Earth Fire Hall disciple's understanding of fire-elemental laws.
The deeper one's understanding of fire-elemental laws, the easier it was to mine fire.
And the easier it was to mine fire, the more powerful the fire-elemental energy mined would be. Then, the person's understanding of fire-elemental laws would become more profound, and their cultivation level would also steadily increase!
Hence, it was extremely important for Earth Fire Hall disciples to mine fire in the Fire Spirit Palace. The stronger one was, the stronger they were, while the weaker one was, the weaker they were.
In fact, not only would Earth Fire Hall disciples come, even Heaven Fire Hall disciples would occasionally come here to mine fire.
At this moment, amongst the fire-mining disciples, Yang Zishan's understanding of fire-elemental laws was the most profound. The spark he mined was the largest, but his absorption speed was also the fastest.
That tiny spark had already entered his Dantian, and more than half of it had been absorbed.
At this moment, Yang Zishan suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er. At this moment, Man Dao was still at a critical stage of fire-mining. He was sweating profusely as he persisted bitterly.
Although he was barely holding on, Man Dao was still steadily refining the Earth fire. He eliminated the Earth fire's tyrannical aura, making it easier for him to absorb it.
If this went on, Man Dao's fire-mining would be completed in another fifteen minutes.
Beside Man Dao, Yun Qiao'er's speed was slightly slower. The girl's cultivation level was lower than Man Dao's, so it was even more difficult for her to hold on. Her face was covered in sweat.
Seeing Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er struggling to hold on, a teasing smile suffused across Yang Zishan's lips. He seemed to be waiting for something.
At this moment, a few Earth Fire Hall disciples beside Yang Zishan had also completed their fire-mining. They had been Earth Fire Hall disciples for a very long period of time. Although they were usually considered Yang Zishan's lackeys, in terms of strength, they were not necessarily weaker than Man Dao. Those who could enter the Earth Fire Hall were no ordinary people.
"Senior Brother Zishan, why did you stop? With Senior Brother Zishan's strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to mine another eight to ten times! Hahaha! "An Earth Fire Hall disciple that followed Yang Zishan said with a laugh.
The number of fire-mining attempts was a good indicator of a person's strength. For someone of Man Dao's strength, he could only do it three to four times. Yun Qiao'er could do it slightly less. Two to three times was already her limit.
As for Yang Zishan, it was not a problem to pluck it seven or eight times.
"Ha, I'll continue plucking for you all to see. Speaking of which, I've learned a new technique in the past few days. I've made some progress in my fire-elemental laws. Let me show you all."
"Alright, let's broaden the horizons of our junior brothers!"
The Fire Hall disciples began discussing. Many of them were Elder Heaven Scorpio's disciples. Elder Heaven Scorpio had been in the Earth Fire Hall for too long, so he had the most disciples.
Yang Zishan chuckled and suddenly looked at Man Dao. He saw the spark in front of Man Dao and shouted, "I'll show you my new Dharmic formulation. Fire, come!"
Yang Zishan grabbed at the sparks in front of Man Dao!
The erratic little spark in front of Man Dao's eyes trembled violently when Yang Zishan grabbed it from afar!
The sparks were erratic and attracted by a great force. They began flying towards Yang Zishan.
"What?"
Man Dao, who was bitterly refining the Earth fire, suddenly opened his eyes. His forehead was covered in bean-sized beads of sweat. He watched as the Earth fire he had refined more than half was about to be taken away by Yang Zishan.
"Yang Zishan, you!"
Man Dao stared angrily. He had expended a great deal of Yuan Qi to refine the spark, but just as he was about to finish refining it, it had been snatched away by Yang Zishan! How could Man Dao not be furious?
Each time he mined for fire, he could at most extract three or four sparks. Any more and he could not afford the expenditure of Yuan Qi. Now, he had already expended the Yuan Qi needed to mine the fire once, but it had been snatched away by Yang Zishan. It was equivalent to wasting an opportunity, so how could he accept it!?
But amidst his anger, Man Dao was also shocked. He had refined more than half the Earth fire, which was equivalent to leaving his mark on it. In terms of control over the Earth fire, Man Dao had a much easier time than Yang Zishan. But even so, the Earth fire had been snatched away by Yang Zishan.
This meant that Yang Zishan's control over the Earth fire far exceeded his own.
"Snatch my Earth fire, dream on!"
Man Dao had a fiery temper and could not tolerate it at all. He grabbed at the Earth Fire that had yet to drift far away. The Earth Fire was closer to Man Dao, and in addition, it had been refined by Man Dao previously. Logically speaking, it should have been easy for him to grab the Earth Fire back.
But at this moment, a blurry red mist emitted from Yang Zishan's palm. It was like billowing red smoke that enveloped the spark, blocking Man Dao's nomological powers outside the Earth fire.
Following that, the spark in Man Dao's hand seemed to produce a hint of spirituality. It took the initiative to fly towards Yang Zishan, as though it had its own consciousness and knew how to choose.
"Fire-Spirit Transmutation!"
Not far from Yang Zishan, the eyes of the Earth Fire Hall disciples lit up when they saw this scene.
The disciples who were planning on continuing their fire-mining also stopped at this moment to watch the battle.
Fire-Spirit Transmutation was to bestow a trace of spirituality to the flame, allowing the flame to possess life. This was an extremely difficult fire-elemental law to cultivate. From the looks of it, the little improvement in fire-elemental laws that Yang Zishan mentioned previously was referring to Fire-Spirit Transmutation!
This was no 'little improvement', it was a qualitative change in one's fire-control ability!
Once a flame gained spirituality, be it controlling the attack of the flame or the control of the flame, it was completely different!
Fire-Spirit Transmutation … this Yang fellow had the ability!
Man Dao clenched his teeth. This fire-control law far exceeded his own, so it was no wonder Yang Zishan dared to snatch his flame.
Man Dao felt extremely aggrieved that the flame he had mostly refined had been snatched away, but what else could he do? In the Fire Spirit Palace, refining Earth fire depended on one's own ability. Snatching another's flame was not against the sect's rules. If one's Earth fire was snatched away, one could only blame themselves for being weak.
However, under normal circumstances, no one would deliberately snatch another's flame. It was a matter of harming others without benefiting oneself. However, Yang Zishan and Man Dao were at odds. To be precise, it was Elder Heaven Scorpio and Fairy Black Bamboo who were at odds with each other. As the factional struggles continued, it became a struggle between the disciples of the various Elders!
"Haha, Man Dao, consider yourself unlucky to have met me today. Don't even think of plucking a single spark. If you're unconvinced, make a bet with me!"
While fighting for control of the flame with Man Dao, Yang Zishan was still able to divert his attention to speak. In contrast, Man Dao's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. Immediately, it was clear who was superior.
At this moment, Yang Zishan suddenly looked at Yun Qiao 'er. The Earth fire in front of Yun Qiao' er had already been refined by 60-70%. The young lady was finding it extremely difficult to persist.
Yang Zishan laughed sinisterly and shouted, "Fire, come!"
He brandished his other hand and grabbed the void. The Earth fire in front of Yun Qiao 'er was immediately grabbed by Yang Zishan. A second Earth fire also floated towards Yang Zishan.
