He had found this item at just the right time. If he had been any later, the miners would definitely have dug it up. At that point... it would have been very difficult to obtain this Profound Yang Divine Crystal.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

Chen Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart and reached out towards the Profound Yang Divine Crystal. Even from three feet away, Chen Yuan could feel the heat emanating from it.

As expected of the most yang and unyielding substance in the world.

Surrounding the Profound Yang Divine Crystal was a connected vein of Red Yang Stone. He believed that if nothing unexpected happened, these Red Yang Stone veins should be what it had transformed into.

When he was about a finger's distance away, Chen Yuan had already fully activated his Vajra Glazed Body. His right arm was covered in dark golden light. Reaching out, Chen Yuan grabbed the divine crystal.

The crimson Profound Yang Divine Crystal was extremely hot. If an ordinary Foundation Establishment martial artist touched it, their flesh would likely be burned, making it impossible to hold.

Placing it in his palm, Chen Yuan carefully examined it.

Even without a flame, this space would not be dark, as the Profound Yang Divine Crystal would emit a faint red glow.

If this thing were taken outside, it would definitely drive most Condensing Fiend martial artists crazy, and even Profound Connection experts would be tempted.

This was because this item could no longer be called a mineral, but was known as a spiritual object.

It was the essence of heaven and earth's most yang energy, each piece being a superior treasure. Besides being used to transform Qi, it could also be used to refine weapons... with countless wonderful uses.

However, Chen Yuan was not in the mood to refine any weapons now. He obtained this thing to transform his Qi.

To transform his body's Yin Fiend energy into Profound Yang Astral Qi.

Sensing the powerful energy contained within the divine crystal, Chen Yuan suppressed his joy and placed it in front of him.

Clearing out a space, Chen Yuan decided to break through before going up, without wasting any more time.

Fu City was dangerous. His killing of the Blood Demon had probably already reached the ears of Tang Qian and the others. He didn't have much time to relax.

As long as Tang Qian and the others weren't stupid, they would definitely nip this budding genius in the bud, rather than slowly waiting for him to grow. Therefore, Chen Yuan felt a strong sense of crisis.

To avoid dying and even live better, one must possess powerful strength.

When that time came, Chen Yuan would not let them go!

Sitting cross-legged, Chen Yuan calmed his mind. The Extreme Yin Blood Fiend energy within his dantian was completely full, in a saturated state. After adjusting for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Yuan reached out and covered the Profound Yang Divine Crystal.

The Supreme Profound True Scripture circulated, and Chen Yuan absorbed the surrounding heaven and earth's vital energy, continuously gathering around his body. Strands of dark red light began to rise from within the Profound Yang Divine Crystal.

Within the divine crystal, buried deep underground for who knows how many years, contained extremely powerful energy. While mobilizing it, Chen Yuan could feel the surrounding air seemingly becoming hot.

......

......

Outside the mine, Mo Donghe vigilantly surveyed the surroundings, recalling what the old miner had said when he came out earlier.

The lord had stayed inside the mine, seemingly investigating something, and had ordered him to guard the entrance, not allowing anyone to enter or exit. This situation made him involuntarily think of the scene when Chen Yuan broke through outside Clearwater County.

At that time, it seemed to have been just as solemn.

But after thinking about it, Mo Donghe abandoned the extra thoughts, thinking, how could it be possible?

He knew Chen Yuan's talent was outstanding. After all, he was someone who could reach the two hundredth place on the Hidden Dragon List. Without a certain level of talent, he wouldn't be able to get on it, but it was impossible for him to be so freakish.

How many days had passed since his last breakthrough?

Even if he was the darling of the heavens, he wouldn't be able to break through so quickly, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

This was completely impossible.

Mo Donghe took a deep breath, feeling that he was overthinking things. But he couldn't be blamed, as Chen Yuan had created quite a few miracles since he started following him.

There was one thing he had been keeping in his heart, and that was that Chen Yuan was his goal.

Of course, that was only before. Ever since he witnessed Chen Yuan killing the Blood Demon Elder a few days ago, Mo Donghe knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to catch up to such an existence. It was completely unrealistic.

In that case, he might as well set his goal of surpassing Yue Shan.

That big guy had joined the Sky Patrol Office for even less time than him, but凭借凭his own talent and strength, he had made rapid progress. Now, he had even surpassed him, stepping into the Qi Gathering realm first and was about to become a Sky Patrol Envoy.

Thinking of this, Mo Donghe clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination. He decided to start preparing for his breakthrough after returning to Fu City.

No destruction, no construction!

He had been cultivating in the Bone Forging realm for several years, but he had always felt that he was not good enough. If he rashly broke through, the probability of failure would be extremely high, so he had been suppressing himself.

But now, after spending time with Chen Yuan along the way, he had received guidance from him and knew that martial arts cultivation could not be timid. Otherwise, he would not be able to make any progress in his life.

With a 30% chance, he could gamble. With a 50% chance, he could go all out.

He even wondered if Chen Yuan's strength could improve so quickly because he possessed a fearless heart of martial arts.

In fact, Mo Donghe's guesses were far off.

Chen Yuan's cultivation was all done after careful consideration. He basically only started breaking through when he felt that nothing unexpected would happen. When it came to it, Chen Yuan was the 'cautious' type.

Without a 70-80% certainty, Chen Yuan rarely gambled.

While Mo Donghe was lost in thought, Chen Yuan's breakthrough within the mine continued...

The mine within a few zhang radius had already been enveloped by strands of red aura. The Profound Yang Divine Crystal in front of Chen Yuan had unknowingly shrunk by a quarter.

The dispersed aura was the essence within the divine crystal.

Profound Yang Qi!

Suddenly, Chen Yuan, who had been concentrating, abruptly opened his eyes. Beams of light flashed in his eyes, and his entire aura was adjusted to its strongest state.

The Blood Fiend Saber was silent, as if asleep. The Vajra Glazed Body refining technique circulated, and dark golden light continuously flowed over his body.

Chen Yuan focused his attention, placing his mind on the nearest strand of Profound Yang Qi. Using the Supreme Profound Scripture to mobilize it, he slowly made contact with his body's acupoints.

The hot aura caused Chen Yuan's pores to open. Gradually...

That strand of Profound Yang Qi was successfully incorporated into his body. Under the traction of the cultivation method, that stream of energy traveled throughout his body, widening Chen Yuan's meridians and even cleansing Chen Yuan's internal organs once.

Faintly, they became even more powerful.

The Qi and blood within his body seemed to be successfully ignited, constantly surging and galloping within Chen Yuan's body, washing over his flesh.

Finally, after traveling throughout his body, that strand of Profound Yang Qi seemed to have been worn away its wildness and began to enter his dantian. As soon as it entered, the Fiend energy within Chen Yuan's body suddenly boiled.

It was incompatible with that strand of Profound Yang Qi, seemingly somewhat distinct.

The emphasis of Yin Fiend energy was on the words Yin and Fiend, belonging to Yin, while the emphasis of Profound Yang Qi was on the word Yang, belonging to Yang.

The conversion of Yin and Yang was not so simple.

This was the most orthodox method of converting Yin Fiend into Astral Qi, which was to convert Yin energy into Yang Astral Qi. However, this process was not so easy.

Moreover, both the top-grade Yin Fiend energy in Chen Yuan's body and the Profound Yang Astral Qi were close to the extreme points of the two attributes, and the difficulty of their fusion and conversion was much more difficult than ordinary conversion.

However, Chen Yuan was also mentally prepared for this.

He patiently mobilized that strand of Profound Yang Qi to transform the Fiend energy.

Astral Qi and Fiend Qi seemingly were aided by external forces, but they could not be accomplished overnight. They had to be step-by-step, first Fiend Qi and then Astral Qi.

This was the most suitable path that the sages of martial arts had taken for thousands of years.

If someone were to absorb something like Profound Yang Qi without Fiend Qi to transform and cleanse the whole body, they would probably explode and die as soon as they were incorporated into the body.

The attributes of Yin and Yang were inherently natural.

Taking and giving were in accordance with the heavenly Dao.

After about a quarter of an hour, that strand of Profound Yang Qi in Chen Yuan's dantian had completely adapted. Under the traction of the Supreme Profound Scripture, it began to fuse and transform with a strand of Yin Fiend energy.

The two fused together, the Fiend energy dissipated, and the Profound Yang Qi condensed, making it stronger. There also seemed to be a trace of Yin in that strand of Profound Yang Qi.

Realizing this, Chen Yuan immediately stopped the fusion, frowning slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why there was a trace of Yin in that strand of Profound Yang Qi.

Logically speaking, the Profound Yang Qi should be the most Yang and unyielding, completely transforming the Fiend energy...

'Could it be because the grade of the Yin Fiend energy is too high?'

In an instant, Chen Yuan thought of this possibility.

Thinking carefully, this possibility seemed very high.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan didn't know if this was good or bad. But since it had already started, it was naturally impossible to give up halfway. He then continued to control that strand of Profound Yang Qi to fuse with the Fiend energy.

At the same time, Chen Yuan was still incorporating the second strand of Profound Yang Qi into his body...

After another quarter of an hour, Chen Yuan had incorporated all the Profound Yang Qi in the mine into his dantian. The Profound Yang Divine Crystal in front of him had shrunk by almost half, leaving only the size of a fist.

In Chen Yuan's body, all the Fiend energy had dissipated, and only a Astral Qi like a swimming dragon was constantly roaming in his dantian. The Blood Fiend Saber on his left arm was constantly moving. Without Chen Yuan's mind traction, it began to send out an endless stream of pure Fiend energy.

The aura produced by that Astral Qi would be extremely Yang for a while and then extremely Yin for a while. Chen Yuan could feel that the two forces were both intertwined and distinctly different.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and then, with a thought, that Astral Qi like a swimming dragon actually began to separate directly, turning into two completely different Astral Qi existing in Chen Yuan's body.

With another thought, the two actually began to fuse again.

Sensing this strange change, Chen Yuan didn't know if it was good or bad, and... what should he call it, Profound Yang Astral Qi, or Profound Yin Astral Qi?

Both had been transformed into Astral Qi, but it was somewhat beyond Chen Yuan's expectations!
