Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Yellow Qi, Xu Zhangqing was still very familiar with it, having seen it more than once.

A single thread of Yellow Qi weighs ten thousand catties; it is a rare material that can be used to refine magic tools.

Yang Zhenyue had reminded him before that this kind of thing occasionally happens underground; there is no way to stop it, one can only let it drift about.

Seeing that he had encountered it, Xu Zhangqing was thoughtful: "With my current ability, subduing a thread of Yellow Qi is absolutely no problem.

It just so happens I can use it to refine my first magic tool, and see what the effect will be."

Thinking of this, he immediately soared into the air and flew toward the Yellow Qi.

As he continuously drew closer, he immediately felt a pressure a hundred times heavier than Earth Qi.

As if what he faced was not a thread of Qi, but a mountain.

No wonder the rumors say that a Formal Disciple only needs to obtain a thread of Yellow Qi to be promoted to a Core Disciple.

In fact, Foundation Establishment Earth Spirit Roots have almost no ability to withstand this terrifying pressure.

Anyone who can withstand it, even without Yellow Qi, would stand out; they would absolutely not remain behind digging mines day after day, making themselves gray-headed and dusty-faced.

Yellow Qi is the essence of Earth Qi, even thicker, even heavier.

Xu Zhangqing decisively circulated the Thick Earth Inherits Heaven Technique; facing this thread of Yellow Qi before him, he immediately waved his hand.

The Golden Core in his Qi Sea immediately spun "whirringly."

Surging magical power released, instantly trapping the Yellow Qi before him.

Click!

Crack!

Sounds like twisting metal rang out one after another, grating on the teeth.

However, facing the magical power released by the Heaven-grade Golden Core, it was fundamentally unable to break free.

Xu Zhangqing would not waste time here with "it"; he swiftly mobilized his magical power, then began rotating continuously clockwise, forcibly stirring it.

Initially, the Yellow Qi did not cooperate; after all, it was used to rampaging underground.

But as time passed, it ultimately had to give up struggling, honestly following the rotation.

Seeing it become increasingly smooth, Xu Zhangqing circulated his magical power again, beginning to compress the space bit by bit.

Before long, the roughly one-meter-long Yellow Qi quickly turned into a yellow sphere the size of an infant's fist, though its weight was even heavier than before.

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "It seems, for Golden Core stage, subduing Yellow Qi is not difficult."

Afterward, with a thought, he absorbed the yellow sphere before him into the Fangcun Ring, storing it temporarily.

When he goes back later, he'll properly think about which kind of magic tool to refine.

It can be confirmed: with the addition of Yellow Qi, the quality is absolutely no problem.

Seeing this trip's harvest was abundant, Xu Zhangqing had no thought of continuing to stay.

Therefore, he decisively headed back the way he came.

With the map Yang Zhenyue gave, there was no need to worry about losing direction.

Just one hour later, when he was just about to exit.

Suddenly, the Treasure-Seeking Chisel in his hand vibrated again, as if sensing something.

Xu Zhangqing blanked for a moment, saying with great surprise: "We're almost out; could there still be some rare mineral others haven't discovered?"

Because he was nearly back at the Earth Pulse Entrance, Array Masters and Earth Spirit Root Disciples began to be active here.

Although the number was not many, they could occasionally be seen.

Just that they were spaced quite far apart, and there was no thought of greeting each other.

"Forget it, let's go take a look!"

"Whatever it is, it's not a loss anyway."

"Although this time I didn't find any bugs, rare ores and minerals are really a huge profit!"

Xu Zhangqing believed that even a shred of hesitation was disrespect to the Treasure-Seeking Chisel.

Therefore he decisively let go, then let it fly up alone.

The chisel swayed in the air, seemingly perceiving direction; after two breaths, it suddenly darted left, extremely fast.

Xu Zhangqing immediately followed, while his curiosity grew ever stronger.

After a while, the chisel arrived at a rock wall with a crack, from inside which wind faintly blew out.

Accompanied by a series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds, a hole was quickly chiseled out; inside was a rather narrow space.

However, when he saw clearly the things inside, Xu Zhangqing was quite surprised: "Good fellow, I originally thought it was some rare mineral or ore; never expected it to be a skeleton."

However, this skeleton looked a bit different.

Others are all gray-white.

But its whole body, as if plated with a layer of gold.

But not that kind of shiny bright gold, rather dark gold.

From the cracks in the ground, it could be seen the skeleton was quite heavy.

The Treasure-Seeking Chisel circled this skeleton, flying back and forth non-stop, seemingly searching for something, but unable to approach.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "It's not here for this skeleton?"

Thinking of this, he glanced behind him.

Although there was no one, at this depth there indeed appeared Array Masters and powerful Earth Spirit Roots.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he manipulated the surrounding Earth Qi, gathering mud and gravel to directly form a thick wall, temporarily blocking this entrance.

Immediately after, he walked to the front of the skeleton, extended his right hand to grasp from a distance, and lifted it up.

Sure enough, the chisel immediately followed along the position beneath the skeleton, continuing to dig frantically.

Soon a pit was dug out; inside, a cluster of golden mist first emerged, and after it dispersed, a golden flower appeared.

Xu Zhangqing exclaimed in shock: "It's actually a Golden Son Flower."

In an instant, he understood everything that had occurred here.

The function of the Golden Son Flower is to perform gold tempering on things it comes into contact with.

During its life, the skeleton had most likely discovered it here by accident, then secretly cultivated it.

Wanting to take this opportunity to turn his own bones into golden bones; in this way defense, strength, and especially pressure resistance would obtain a qualitative improvement.

At that time, seizing a wisp of Yellow Qi, he would immediately be able to become a Core Disciple.

Judging from the current situation, although he ultimately succeeded, the person died.

Without surprise, his own flesh and blood instead became the nourishment for this Golden Son Flower.

Xu Zhangqing sighed: "In the end, it came cheap to me."

The current market price of the Golden Son Flower seems to be around 3000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, only mature ones possess such a high price.

Its cultivation time is very long; without ten years it cannot take root and sprout.

And the most critical point: this thing can only be planted in metal minerals; the rarer the better, the higher the Spirit Tool Grade.

It is said that if placed in a Gold Mountain or Silver Mountain, it can absorb all the essence and become the extremely rare Zhenyue Golden Son Flower; right now this thing has a market but no price.

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing naturally would not be polite; regardless of the Golden Body Skeleton or the Golden Son Flower that had already grown below, he took all of them away, not leaving a single one.

No matter how it was previously, anyway now they all belong to himself.

After everything was put away, all placed into the Fangcun Ring, he turned and left, simultaneously rapidly dissolving the wall that had blocked sight and sound.

And the Treasure-Seeking Chisel also quieted down, having neither light nor vibration.

Half an hour later, Xu Zhangqing finally walked out from the depths of the Spiritual Vein, but soon the Lightly Vitality Gourd transmitted a slight vibration.

He took it out to look, and it was actually Eldest Senior Sister's Communication Talisman!
