Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 561 Ancestor Jinsha!

In addition, some highly skilled cultivators are able to live indefinitely without needing to eat, simply by absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

However... in a place like Thousand Flame Island, where fire-elemental energy is abundant and explosive, especially one containing fire poison, this environment is clearly unsuitable for cultivators.

Unless one is a cultivator with profound fire-attribute supernatural powers, staying here for many years will only lead to a decline in cultivation and an unstable foundation.

Furthermore, due to the severe deficiency in the intake of the vital energy of heaven and earth, it will also deplete the true energy and magical power within the body, and even shorten lifespan.

This is one of the reasons why these miners are physically weak, look quite old, and have many blisters on their faces and bodies.

"These people are really ruthless..."

Gu Yuan shook his head inwardly and muttered, "It's obvious they're treating these miners like cattle."

"No, even cattle and horses are treated well by their owners so they can work properly. But these people treat the miners like expendable resources. They don't care whether they live or die; if they die, they die..."

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuan decided to remain in hiding.

As evening approached, he emerged from the shadows and approached a lone guard, simply pointing his finger at him.

The guard collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound.

Gu Yuan reached out and grabbed his soul directly. Gu's eyes gleamed with spiritual light as he began to probe the memories within the soul.

After reviewing his memories, Gu Yuan waved his hand, crushing his corpse into powder, which then dissipated into the world.

Then, Gu Yuan transformed into the appearance of this guard and blended in among the many guards.

Gu Yuan planned to use his position as a guard to gather information, preferably to find out which mines had abundant reserves and whether there was any possibility of obtaining Five Elements Immortal Iron.

However, this guard's status was too low, and he didn't know much useful information, so Gu Yuan simply used his Dreamy Flower Great Divine Power to steal the memories of the other guards around him in his sleep.

For several days in a row, and then, I actually made some progress.

As far as Gu Yuan knew, a powerful Yin God named Xuan Guang Zhenren was currently guarding this Thousand Flame Island. He was a disciple of the Hun Tian Elder.

The reason for coming here, besides guarding this place, is also to use some exotic fire elemental energy on Thousand Flame Island to cultivate some kind of supernatural power.

However, this dazzling real person is usually elusive and rarely shows up. Instead, he always stays in one place, so there is no need to pay too much attention to him.

Just be careful and avoid the places where these dazzling real people might appear.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that from these people's memories, Gu Yuan obtained information about the Five Elements Immortal Iron and also learned the location of the mine that produced the Five Elements Immortal Iron.

Moreover, he also learned that there was actually a powerful Yang God on this Thousand Flame Island!
Of course, this powerful Yang God was not the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​but his adversary. This person was named Ancestor Jinsha, a rogue cultivator who had offended the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​and the two fought fiercely afterward.

Later, when the Golden Sand Ancestor was defeated, the Hun Tian Elder did not kill him. Instead, he crippled his cultivation and threw him onto Thousand Flame Island, making him mine every day, which was a kind of torture.

Gu Yuan initially just treated it as a joke, but later he discovered that the place where the Golden Sand Ancestor was located was actually the mine that produced the Five Elements Immortal Iron.

After a moment's thought, he had some ideas. The next day, Gu Yuan arrived outside the mine where the Golden Sand Ancestor was located, disguised himself as an ordinary miner, and infiltrated the mine.

Ding Ding Ding!Ding Ding Ding!
Gu Yuan carried a bamboo basket and a pickaxe, walking deeper into the mine tunnel. The mine tunnel was not a winding tunnel, but rather like a termite nest, no, much more complicated than that, with many crisscrossing passages, and the sound of ore being struck could be heard from time to time.

This is why miners often get lost inside and become trapped. Over time, they often starve to death inside.

Without divine sense, and with the air filled with fire-attribute energy, which is highly toxic, one's mind and will are often affected, making one easily agitated, irritable, and disoriented.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan's cultivation was not sealed, so there was no need to worry about that at all.

After walking around the mine for more than an hour, Gu Yuan arrived at the deepest part of the mine.

Ding Ding Ding!Ding Ding Ding!
From a small mine ahead came a series of rhythmic sounds. Gu Yuan came over and took a look. He found an old man inside, wielding a pickaxe and hammering at the stone wall.

The old man was short and thin, with a head of messy, gray hair that looked like a bird's nest. His clothes were tattered, and his skin was covered in a thick layer of dust.

Her eyes, however, were cold and calm. When Gu Yuan came in, she only glanced at him a few times and did not pay much attention to him, continuing to knock and bang on her things.

The stone walls here are blackish-red or blackish-gray, appearing exceptionally hard, and indeed they are.

These stone walls have been tempered and baptized by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, especially the energy of Geng metal. Over the years, their hardness has become no less than that of ordinary black iron or copper essence.

Under these circumstances, it would be quite difficult to excavate.

For ordinary people, let alone chiseling, even leaving a scratch on these stone walls would be incredibly auspicious.

Therefore, to mine, one should at least be a cultivator at the Celestial Realm.

In some places on the stone wall, there is a faint glow, and these places may well contain some valuable minerals.

Gu Yuan walked up to a stone wall as if no one else was there and swung his pickaxe at it.

boom! ! !
After Gu Yuan infused his magic power, the pickaxe in his hand emitted a faint spiritual light and landed on the stone wall. Immediately afterward, with a muffled thud, the stone wall shattered, revealing a large hole.

The ordinary stones shattered, while two pieces of ore with a strange metallic sheen fell to the ground.

Gu Yuan bent down and picked them up, discovering that both pieces of ore were Earth Fire Copper Essence. They were glowing with a dark red light, with a deep and delicate texture. They felt heavy and hard in his hand, and they were warm to the touch, giving him a burning sensation like touching burning coals.

"Not bad, there's really something good here..."

Gu Yuan seemed completely oblivious, casually tossing the two pieces of ore into the bamboo basket behind him.

Earth Fire Copper Essence is not considered a top-tier refining material, much less comparable to the Nine Divine Metals. However, it is still a rare high-grade material that can be used as a material for refining top-tier magical artifacts or magic treasures.

For ordinary cultivators, obtaining two pieces of Earth Fire Copper Essence means they won't lack cultivation resources for a short period of time.
