Chapter 132: The Treasure that Restrains the Clan Members
After another half hour, no matter how Yi Chen used his divine consciousness, he could not grasp the characteristics of the spirit mine.
The main reason was that the grade of the spirit mine was too high, causing too much resistance for his divine consciousness, making it difficult for him to fully penetrate it.
“Is it because the grade is too high that you can’t test it?”
Seeing Yi Chen stop, Bai Ruo Xin asked.
After testing so many spirit mines, she clearly understood that the higher the grade, the more time it consumed.
“It might be a fifth-grade!”
Yi Chen explained casually.
The fifty spirit mines he tested earlier all ranged from first to third grade.
Even for a third-grade spirit mine, he could usually finish testing it in about fifteen or sixteen minutes.
But unlike this spirit mine, it took over ten minutes just for his divine consciousness to enter it.
After more than half an hour, he still hadn’t grasped any characteristics of the spirit mine.
“Maybe we should leave it for later; after all, this spirit mine is rare and doesn’t serve much purpose. It’s likely that the high grade means it requires an absurdly high temperature to melt.”
Bai Ruo Xin suggested.
“With my current level, this spirit mine is indeed not very useful, but it’s great for practicing divine consciousness,”
Yi Chen shook his head and said, “Even though I didn’t test out the characteristics of this spirit mine after more than half an hour, my divine consciousness strength has improved quite a bit.”
“Since you’re not doing anything, you could find a first-grade spirit stone and try to penetrate it with your divine consciousness. It would help improve your divine consciousness strength significantly.”
“When you were testing the spirit mines, I secretly tried it too. After half an hour, my divine consciousness couldn’t even enter a first-grade spirit stone…”
Bai Ruo Xin said honestly.
“The strength of your divine consciousness in the second stage of spirit consciousness isn’t enough to enter a first-grade spirit stone?”
Yi Chen was somewhat surprised.
But then he thought about it and understood.
In the second stage of spirit consciousness, he could enter first- and second-grade spirit mines and even test their characteristics.
But clearly, Bai Ruo Xin’s divine consciousness strength at the second stage couldn’t be compared to his.
Bai Ruo Xin looked at Yi Chen with a hint of disappointment.
“If the spirit mine won’t work, we can only look for iron ores or stones that don’t contain spirit energy to try,”
Yi Chen reminded her, “As your strength increases, the importance of divine consciousness will become greater. Even if you’re limited by your talent and can’t reach your full potential, you should still take some time to improve your divine consciousness strength as much as possible.”
“I think you look cooler when you’re not talking!”
Bai Ruo Xin’s gaze grew even more mournful.
“I just unconsciously overestimated your talent. Was I supposed to deliberately insult my own image to get back at you?”
Yi Chen replied irritably.
On the exile planet, being robust and rugged was the true definition of cool.
As his strength grew and he became accustomed to his influential position in the Flame Mountain Tribe, the aura and pressure of a high-ranking individual around him became stronger.
He could sense this from the attitudes of the high priest and the tribe members.
However, this only indicated his outstanding temperament and had nothing to do with being handsome.
“So, in the future, please consider my self-esteem and appearance when you speak.”
Bai Ruo Xin knew that her unintentional complaint had been misunderstood by Yi Chen, so she decided to let him keep the misunderstanding.
“I don’t have time!”
Yi Chen’s reply was straight to the point.
“…”
Bai Ruo Xin was speechless.
As expected, the chief looked cooler when he didn’t talk.
“I remember that the Political Council provided information stating that someone had cultivated a type of spirit material that is edible and can be grown on a large scale. How is the promotion of that going?”
Yi Chen planned to take a break and relax before continuing to test the spirit mine, so he initiated a conversation with Bai Ruo Xin while he was at it.
…
“Being looked down upon, Bai Ruo Xin, this venomous beauty, being disrespected is truly satisfying.”
“Indeed, being unintentionally disrespected is even more delightful.”
In the live room, many viewers felt a great sense of pleasure seeing Bai Ruo Xin unintentionally disrespected by Yi Chen regarding her talent.
Because last time, having deliberately not asked Yi Chen when he would teach the new skills, despite it being a month and a half since, Bai Ruo Xin still held the top position on the Humanity’s Most Hated List.
“Come on! I don’t know why you’re so excited.”
However, soon someone began to cool down the enthusiasm.
“Being looked down upon by Yi Chen isn’t a shameful thing. You have to realize that although Bai Ruo Xin has a venomous heart, we must admit her talent is among the best in humanity.”
“And didn’t you notice that Bai Ruo Xin seems to be getting more favored? Yi Chen misunderstood her statement as retaliation and didn’t hold it against her. He even went so far as to guide her on how to improve her divine consciousness strength.”
“Yeah! I wonder when Bai Ruo Xin might lose her favor…”
“She’s likely sent by some ambitious individuals, trying to control Yi Chen. Having her around him poses a significant threat to his safety.”
“It’s hard to say; this woman is too scheming. While attracting Yi Chen’s interest with her uniqueness, she perfectly executes her tasks.”
“The fake heavy criminals are now busy vying for power and trying to attract Yi Chen’s attention through their achievements. It will be hard to pull her down in the short term.”
In the live room, the initial excitement vanished, replaced by a sigh.
Among the many heavy criminals, Bai Ruo Xin now stood out exceptionally.
With Yi Chen rarely showing up, it was nearly impossible for anyone else to catch up with Bai Ruo Xin.
Let alone try to set up a scheme to bring her down.
After all, Bai Ruo Xin wasn’t foolish either, and she had the Intelligence Organization at her disposal.
The fake heavy criminals would need to reach a high position and gain Yi Chen’s trust before they dared to target Bai Ruo Xin.
Moreover, they might even need to join forces to have any chance of pulling down this greatest rival.
In the stone house…
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Yi Chen began to use his divine consciousness to test the last type of spirit mine again.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…
The resistance created by the spirit mine served as the best sharpening stone for Yi Chen’s divine consciousness.
With his extraordinary talent, his divine consciousness continuously strengthened under the refinement of this resistance.
Finally, after more than two hours, Yi Chen’s divine consciousness became accustomed to the resistance and could slowly sense the characteristics of the spirit stone inside the mine through various powerful functions.
To his astonishment, he discovered that the most powerful and obvious characteristic of this spirit mine was the various clearer and more intuitive laws and power of the laws.
It is a material that can be refined into treasures for casting various powerful spells?
No, wait!
The main material needed for casting powerful spells should contain a strong power of the laws within it.
Moreover, the power of the laws inside had an easy-to-guide characteristic.
Only in this way could it be suitable for refining treasures that unleash powerful spells.
The main feature of this spirit mine is not how powerful the laws and the power of the laws are inside, but rather that they are clearer and more intuitive than those outside.
Yi Chen’s eyes widened a bit.
This is a material that can be refined into treasures, making it easier to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth?
It seems like he has encountered a treasure!
With Yi Chen’s talent, and the ability to continuously improve, he certainly didn’t need this treasure to speed up his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
But the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe needed it!
For ordinary tribe members, the ninth level of Spirit Law was their limit.
The main reason was that their comprehension couldn’t reach the more profound laws and powers of the laws.
This spirit mine couldn’t enhance others’ comprehension, but it could make it easier for them to grasp the laws and powers of the laws.
It essentially reduced the difficulty of understanding the laws and powers of the laws.
Currently, the number of spirit mines is too low, and he doesn’t have the level of strength to refine such treasures, but the emergence of this spirit mine has completely shown him a way to enhance the limits of his tribe members.
His earliest idea was to wait until he had a larger territory and more manpower, then start to collect various spirit materials on a large scale.
He believed there must be some materials that could enhance talent or comprehension after consumption.
At that time, he could refine spirit pills to boost the talent or comprehension of the tribe members.
However, these spirit pills had a significant flaw: a lack of materials.
Materials that enhance talent and comprehension, according to the balance of the laws of heaven and earth, must be extremely rare.
They not only had very strict environmental requirements, but their growth speed would indeed be as slow as a turtle.
No matter how much he relied on auxiliary materials to reduce consumption and improve quality, or tried to increase the production of spirit materials, it would certainly not keep pace with the population growth of the tribe.
On the other hand, the treasures refined from the spirit mine that made it easier to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth were completely different.
Even if there was a limit to how many people it could accommodate, it could be reused.
The more spirit mines, the more people could be accommodated.
Another important advantage was that he gained another means to balance the tribe members.
He viewed humanity as the foundation for expansion and development.
Naturally, he had to have absolute control over it to prevent large-scale rebellions from occurring.
He could hold absolute prestige and power in the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Apart from having the strongest power, another important point was that he possessed the "Chaos Technique."
Only he could improve the "Chaos Technique," allowing the pathways for the talented individuals’ strength to continue to extend.
This was almost equivalent to saying that if the talented individuals wanted to elevate their levels, they must obediently submit to him.
However, ordinary tribe members, due to their low levels of strength, faced fewer constraints than those talented individuals despite knowing about the higher-level "Chaos Technique" in advance.
A treasure that could make it easier for people to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, improve the upper limits of everyone’s levels, and could be recalled at any time was a perfect addition.
He only needed to keep finding ways to enhance the quality of this treasure, expand the capacity, and ensure that even if someone collected the same materials, no one would be able to refine the same kind of treasure.
Then, even if he closed himself off for dozens or hundreds of years, there could never be a large-scale rebellion in the entire Flame Mountain Tribe.
