"Will she be alright?"
Inside the room, Ning Yanlan was asking Jiang Yuan a question, her expression full of worry.
"Such a grown man, not a child, how could anything happen to him!" Jiang Yuan said dismissively, as he took out several crystal cores.
Killing the savage beast Shi Jie and the holy beast So Xia was his personal action, and the spoils of war naturally belonged to him personally, so he did not generously share them.
Ultimately, both he and Ning Yanlan needed a large number of core members, and there was no need for them to be so selfless as to hand over all their own things.
Ning Yanlan said thoughtfully, "Do you think Leng Yue's mood is off? I often saw her looking scared when I was with her before."
"It's nothing!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand and began to integrate the remaining Holy Spirit Stones and cores on his body.
Two ninth-order crystal diamond cores, one eighth-order crystal diamond core, and one eighth-order radiant gold core.
As for the Holy Spirit Stones, the previous Holy Spirit gave a lot of them, but there aren't many ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones left. Two ninth-tier crystal cores require eight ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, and if you add the treasure hunting location, the required Holy Spirit Stones will only be more.
The only redeeming feature is that treasure hunting locations can be replaced with low-level Holy Spirit Stones or replenished with divine energy from within the body.
Even so, Jiang Yuan only had enough ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones to open this one core. After opening these two crystal cores, he would be out of ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones.
As for the eighth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, he had enough for his needs.
"The only problem now is what to do with the mined ore?" Jiang Yuan looked helpless. "After giving some of the raw ore to Xiao Pang, there are still 7,000 pieces left. Extracting the Holy Spirit Stone from these 7,000 pieces is no small task!"
Ning Yanlan's lips twitched slightly after hearing this, and then she glanced at the two little ones in the corner.
"Is that okay?" Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully.
Ning Yanlan chuckled and said, "How will we know if it's possible if we don't try!"
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then took out a few pieces of raw mineral stone and handed them to the two children, saying, "Do you know how to extract Holy Spirit Stones? You can get a reward of one stone for every hundred you extract!"
"Hmph!"
The two little ones hummed excitedly upon seeing the raw mineral.
"Let me teach you first!"
Jiang Yuan casually picked up a piece of raw stone. As divine energy surged, cracks appeared on the outer skin of the raw stone. Then, he methodically peeled off the outer skin. A minute later, the raw stone, the size of a human head, was reduced to a shining Holy Spirit Stone.
“Just peel it like that, it’s very simple!” Jiang Yuan held the Holy Spirit Stone in his palm, and when he finished peeling the Holy Spirit Stone, he noticed the stone skin on the ground.
Identified by Tianyan!
"Huh, this stuff can actually be used as fertilizer! That's killing two birds with one stone!" Jiang Yuan said in disbelief.
The stone skin encasing the Holy Spirit Stone was not found to be waste under the Heavenly Eye's examination; instead, it could be used as fertilizer to cultivate spiritual herbs.
"Hmph!"
The two little ones showed interest in trying, and Jiang Yuan didn't stop them. One of the pigs gave him a piece of raw stone and then watched from the side.
The same operation was used: first, energy was injected to shatter the outer skin of the raw stone, and then the stone skin was peeled off with their noses and forelimbs. The whole process was clean and efficient. Although it took five minutes, which was far less fast than Jiang Yuan's one minute, the speed was still beyond Jiang Yuan's expectations.
"It seems like it will work!" Ning Yanlan's eyes lit up. Seeing her little darling help with housework was a sense of accomplishment that would make any mother happy.
Click!
Before they could finish speaking, the two little ones each swallowed the freshly peeled Holy Spirit Stone in one gulp.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"Uh!" Ning Yanlan also looked embarrassed.
"Big brother and sister, we told you to peel the Holy Spirit Stones, not to eat them!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly. "Besides, don't you even look at your own ranks? Two fourth-rank individuals directly swallowed seventh-rank Holy Spirit Stones. Are you looking for trouble?"
“vivivi”
"Alright, two in five minutes. Your task tonight is two hundred yuan!" Jiang Yuan was relieved to see the two little ones like this. Their biological instincts wouldn't allow them to eat until they were stuffed, so he let them eat as much as they wanted.
"Jiang Yuan, why don't we try to put them into our personal space?" Ning Yanlan suddenly suggested.
"Will this work?" Jiang Yuan frowned. "I tried it before, but the portable space can't hold living things!"
After thinking for a moment, Ning Yanlan suggested, "Try leaving your mark on them and see if you can put them into your storage ring!"
“I’ve never actually tried that before!” Jiang Yuan said, raising an eyebrow.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan entered his personal space, intending to activate its control center.
The control center of his personal space only recorded the imprints of him and Ning Yanlan. When he tried to add another one, the control center emitted a saturation feedback. Jiang Yuan sensed this feedback and knew what was going on.
"No, I still can't capture any living creatures!" Jiang Yuan shook his head.
Ning Yanlan nodded slightly as she listened, and said, "It seems that the personal space cannot accommodate other life forms!"
This was to be expected, since even Jiang Yuan himself couldn't enter his personal space right now, and Ning Yanlan was in the same boat. To take in other life forms, they would have to upgrade their personal space to a certain level.
"Forget it, let them stay outside. I can clean them up every hour anyway!" Jiang Yuan didn't plan to sleep. The energy inside the demon pearl was limited, so he usually chose to use Holy Spirit Protection on his own.
"Then are you still going to activate the cores?" Ning Yanlan asked, looking at the few cores on the ground.
“Of course we should open it. One of them might contain the original vein you need!” Jiang Yuan casually picked up an eighth-order crystal core from the ground.
