Moreover, because this place was a volcano a long time ago, there are many fissures and channels in the mountain. There are so many fissures and channels that even the old workers here cannot count them all.
Led by the foreman, the group quickly ventured deep into the mine, walking along the winding, branching tunnels for more than ten minutes before finally stopping.
At this moment, at the end of this mine tunnel, there is a crack that can only be entered by one person at a time. Judging from the excavation marks around the crack, it was obviously dug out not long ago.
"One of our workers accidentally dug a hole in here and was burned by an extremely hot gas inside," the foreman said cautiously.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and slowly inserted his palm into the crack.
As Lin Yi extended his arm into the crack, he immediately felt his entire arm become scalding hot.
An exceptionally hot and violent gas entered his body through the pores of his skin, eventually flowing into his dantian.
Instantly, an unusual heat surged from his dantian.
That's it!
Lin Yi's eyes lit up; this was the high-level Yang Gang Qi he had been waiting for!
"You all stay here, I'm going in to take a look. No one else is allowed to come in without my permission," Lin Yi instructed the guards behind him before stepping into the crevice first.
Behind Lin Yi, Xiao Yan followed, and judging from her appearance, she showed no aversion to the scorching heat inside.
Two or three minutes later, the narrow crack suddenly widened, and then a crimson red filled the eye.
What appeared before Lin Yi was a patch of crimson, broken rocks.
From a distance, it looked like flowing magma, with a scorching heat rising from the ground, distorting the air.
Lin Yi's gaze swept across the area of rubble before finally settling on the central part of the rubble.
There stood a massive, pale white beast skeleton, several tens of feet long!
Although this enormous creature was now nothing but bones, Lin Yi could still sense a unique pressure emanating from its skeleton.
It's easy to imagine that this was no ordinary monster, but it's unknown why it perished here.
Meanwhile, Little Flame, standing beside Lin Yi, bristled with crimson fur. It then transformed into a red shadow and charged forward, its target the stark white beast skeleton.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, wrapped his legs with Yuan energy, and quickly followed. The man and the beast soon arrived at the beast bone.
Xiao Yan looked up at the mysterious beast skeleton, then suddenly leaped up and quickly climbed up the skeleton. In a few breaths, it appeared at the head of the beast skeleton.
Immediately, Xiao Yan raised its sharp tiger claws and stomped down, crushing the beast's skull without any mercy.
The enormous head fell and smashed into a pile of broken bones on the rubble. Little Flame leaped down and tumbled among them for a while, then suddenly used its gaping maw to bite down on something fiery red.
That thing was actually a fist-sized, perfectly round, fiery red bead, which was the demon crystal left behind by that mysterious monster.
"Gulu!"
With a flick of its blood-red tongue, Xiao Yan swallowed the fiery red bead whole.
"Roar!"
As the fiery red bead entered his body, almost instantly, a raging flame erupted directly from Xiao Yan's body.
Its body slowly swelled up at that moment, and its deep roar shook the huge cave.
Lin Yi stared at the changes happening to Xiao Yan's body, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Chapter 29 The Mysterious Flower, Successfully Advancement!
This expansion lasted only a moment before abruptly stopping. Then, Xiao Yan's enormous body, which was almost the size of a small building, shrank again, returning to its original form.
However, Xiao Yan's original fur became even more fiery red and dazzling, looking as if it were burning with flames. Its tiger claws also exuded a sharp luster, and the sharp claw blades were deeply embedded in the ground, leaving no doubt about its killing power.
At the tip of its distinctive python tail, there appears to be a small bulge, as if something is about to burst out of the bulge.
"You little rascal, you really know how to smell a foodie," Lin Yi walked over to Xiao Yan, patted its head, and chuckled.
Xiao Yan nuzzled against Lin Yi with its head, then suddenly let out a low growl towards a certain spot.
Lin Yi shifted his gaze and saw that behind the beast's remains, there seemed to be a rock formation formed from solidified magma that had welled up from the ground.
At this moment, atop that rock, bloomed a crimson flower, almost bewitchingly beautiful, surrounded by wisps of smoke…
The crimson flowers, growing alone from the rocks, sway with vibrant life, appearing particularly strange in this arid world.
Xiao Yan walked slowly under the pile of rocks, occasionally letting out a low growl at the strange flower, but never daring to rush up.
Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly climbed up the pile of giant rocks. Only then did he realize that there was a black hole about the size of a head at the top of the rocks.
The black hole seemed to lead straight to the earth's depths, from which bursts of extremely hot gas erupted.
Those scorching gases were none other than the violent, yang energy!
Lin Yi glanced at the black hole, then shifted his gaze to the alluring flower.
As if sensing someone watching, the alluring flower suddenly swayed gently, and the faint mist surrounding it drifted out and quietly wrapped around Lin Yi's body.
Suddenly, Lin Yi's mind became somewhat dazed, and an extreme feeling of exhaustion and weakness welled up, as if the vitality in his body was being forcibly sucked away.
Lin Yi bit his tongue hard, and taking advantage of the brief moment of clarity, grabbed the alluring flower with his right hand.
The next instant, a strange suction force burst forth from Lin Yi's right palm!
Under this powerful suction, the alluring flower burst forth from the soil and landed squarely in Lin Yi's palm.
"Chichi!"
Immediately afterwards, beams of light shot out from the flesh and blood in Lin Yi's palm, and in a short moment, the enchanting flower turned into a ball of extremely viscous crimson liquid.
When that viscous, crimson liquid appeared, Lin Yi's mental energy suddenly fluctuated violently, causing his temples to throb continuously.
Under Lin Yi's watchful eye, the viscous liquid suddenly seeped into his palm.
"boom!"
As the viscous liquid entered Lin Yi's palm, his head began to ring, and he could no longer hear any sounds from the outside world.
At this moment, he could only feel a powerful and special energy rapidly coursing through his body, finally rushing into his mind like a prehistoric beast.
"what!"
Even with some mental preparation, Lin Yi still couldn't help but let out a painful scream.
"Gather divine light, reach the heart of heaven, calm the mind and find peace of spirit, and find tranquility in the mind and peace of spirit..."
Lin Yi endured the pain and began chanting the incantation of the Refining Spirit Technique, focusing all his energy on cultivation.
Within Lin Yi's Niwan Palace, the funnel-shaped rune seemed to sense the influx of immense spiritual energy and suddenly began to rotate, spinning faster and faster until it formed a deep black hole.
From that black hole emerged a terrifying suction force, continuously absorbing the mental energy that had violently rushed into Lin Yi's mind...
As the immense spiritual energy was frantically absorbed by the black hole, Lin Yi felt his pain lessen many times over, and his funnel-shaped natal talisman continued to condense and grow stronger.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi sensed that the natal talisman within his Niwan Palace had actually broken free from the wisps of spiritual energy binding it and began to split in two!
Inside the Niwan Palace, the original natal talisman slowly cracked open, and in its place were two talismans of the same size and shape!
They floated quietly in the Niwan Palace, with powerful spiritual energy emanating from the two talismans.
This also indicates that Lin Yi's spiritual power cultivation has made a breakthrough, and he has successfully advanced to the realm of a second-level talisman master!
As the last trace of spiritual energy was absorbed by the natal talisman in his Niwan Palace, Lin Yi felt refreshed and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
"boom!"
An invisible spiritual force burst forth from his eyes, piercing through the stone wall on one side of the cave, causing sand and gravel to tumble inside!
"call……"
Lin Yi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up, and his face was full of joy.
This time the harvest was truly significant, saving him at least several months of mental energy cultivation!
"Father, Uncle, Grandfather, why are you all here?"
Lin Yi had just finished his breakthrough when he noticed three familiar figures standing not far from him.
"You brat, you're too reckless, daring to trespass anywhere," Lin Zhentian said, his gaze fixed on Lin Yi. He then asked with concern, "How are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong?"
Lin Xiao and Lincoln also stared intently at Lin Yi, their faces filled with concern.
Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, "I'm not only fine now, but I feel great, completely relaxed!"
"It's good that you're alright," Lin Zhentian said after carefully looking Lin Yi over.
"By the way, I sensed a strong mental energy fluctuation earlier. That fluctuation made me feel somewhat dangerous. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just took a spiritual herb from the cave, and my mental strength has improved slightly," Lin Yi nodded and said.
"It's good that he's alright." After confirming that Lin Yi was unharmed, Lin Zhentian and the others were relieved and then had the leisure to look around the cave. Immediately afterwards, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of the three of them.
"Such a rich aura of Yang energy!"
Lin Zhentian and the other two took a deep breath of the scorching air. They were initially delighted, but then their brows furrowed.
"It's a pity it's too violent to be absorbed into the body; otherwise, it would be an excellent cultivation ground!"
As they spoke, disappointment was evident on the faces of Lin Zhentian and the other two.
“Perhaps I have a way to deal with these berserk factors,” Lin Yi said with a smile, looking at the three people’s disappointed faces.
"What method?" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian and the other two were overjoyed and asked anxiously.
Chapter 30 Refining Yang Qi, Little Marten Appears!
Lin Yi silently extended his right hand, and with a slight twist of his palm, a suction force emanated from his palm, instantly drawing in the surrounding Yang Qi.
Lin Yi did not directly inhale these Yang Qi into his body, but instead poured them into the stone talisman first.
"Yi'er, what are you doing?" The surge of Yang energy around him immediately caught Lin Xiao's attention. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly.
Lin Zhentian and Lincoln's expressions changed drastically when they saw Lin Yi absorbing the violent Yang Qi.
"Father, Grandfather, what you want is this kind of Yang energy, isn't it?"
Amidst the palloring faces of the three, Lin Yi smiled slightly, raised his right palm, and a wisp of slightly reddish gas swirled above it.
Lin Zhentian and the other two were stunned as they stared at the pale red gas in Lin Yi's palm.
They could sense that the gas in Lin Yi's palm was the same special Yang energy that filled the cave.
