Chapter 609: 609 I found your secret
And in fact, the minerals contained in the useless stone and the Meteorite Gold are the same; it is only because the texture is too mixed that the stone cannot be refined into Meteorite Gold. However, the requirements for Alchemy Techniques remain the same.
Suddenly, inspired, Mu Hanyan considered whether her Heavenly Heart Technique, which has the remarkable ability to harness the power of all things for her own use, could be applied to Meteorite Gold.
The moment she thought of it, Mu Hanyan activated her Heavenly Heart Technique discreetly, channeling her Qi into a raw stone. Unfortunately, there was not the slightest change in the stone. Clearly, her Heavenly Heart Technique was not applicable to Meteorite Gold.
However, Mu Hanyan wasn’t disappointed. The Heavenly Heart Technique is said to harness the power of all things for personal use; of course, there would be some limitations. Otherwise, she wouldn’t need to cultivate anymore. She could just find a master every day to spar with and simply stand there taking hits.
According to her experience, the Heavenly Heart Technique could absorb either uncontrollable, unusable Qi like that within Yan Yuchu, or poisons—strictly speaking, both were unclaimed entities. If the Qi was being freely controlled within someone else, she couldn’t absorb it.
As for the energy within the Meteorite Gold, though it was also an unclaimed entity, its existence differed from that of unclaimed Qi and poisons. Perhaps one day, when her Heavenly Heart Technique was cultivated to a certain realm, she could assimilate and make use of it, but right now, she was not able to do so.
"Come on, let’s continue. I remember that there are only a few hundred types of Meteorite Gold in this Cultivation Space, and even fewer that are actually useful. Some are quite similar to each other, so it shouldn’t take long for me to comprehend all the hand gestures," Ling Baobao said eagerly, urging Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan’s thoughts were interrupted and she didn’t notice that he referred to the Cultivation Space, not the commonly mentioned Holy Court Continent.
Picking up another raw stone, Ling Baobao made the hand gestures again.
Mu Hanyan continued to watch the Star Plate out of the corner of her eye, occasionally interrupting Ling Baobao.
Ling Baobao also patiently adjusted the hand gestures. From time to time, a burst of flames would explosively erupt from the raw stone, casting fantastical lights and shadows.
Before they knew it, several hours had passed, and the crowing of a rooster came from outside.
After a night of cultivation, Ling Baobao had mastered hundreds of different methods of deploying hand gestures, each targeted at a different type of Meteorite Gold.
Mu Hanyan was genuinely impressed by him. Despite his limited strength, at best the level of a Second-tier or third-tier Knight, his Qi was incredibly constant, as if there was a never-ending spring hidden within him. Moreover, his spiritual power was surprisingly strong, tirelessly performing the hand gestures without a trace of fatigue and instead looking as energetic as if he had taken a Ten-Complete Replenishing Pill.
Mu Hanyan asked herself, if it were her relentlessly performing hand gestures for a moment, she would probably be worn out and dizzy by now.
"Ha ha, I’ve discovered your secret. So you keep your treasure here, eh?" While Mu Hanyan was silently pondering, she heard Ling Baobao’s cheer, and then saw him coming closer, his gaze directed at her neckline.
Although Mu Hanyan had dressed as a man since childhood, she never considered herself a true man. Seeing him looking towards her neckline, her scalp tingled, and she was about to slap him, but just as she raised her hand, Ling Baobao ducked his head back.
"I’ve been observing you all night and just realized that you hang your treasure around your neck. Come on, show me what it is; let’s see what kind of treasure it is," Ling Baobao said enthusiastically.
