That was why no one had discovered the Yangyuan Stone vein hidden below.
In the original timeline, these leopards had been killed by the Lin Clan, after Lin Dong discovered the mine. But Lin Xuan had a better plan.
Channeling his spiritual power, he communicated directly with them.
"You don't want to be separated from your mate, do you?"
Under his overwhelming aura, both leopards submitted.
The Beast-Taming Imprint etched itself onto their spirits.
"From now on, your names will be Bao Zhen and Bao Qiang," Lin Xuan declared, noting their bond and feeling envious.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The pair obediently bowed.
Lin Xuan fed them Rejuvenation Pills, healing their wounds, and then gave Hu Ying's family Blood Qi Pills and Beast Cores as rewards.
Once they had recovered, he issued the next command.
"Alright, now get to work. Hu Ying, take the cubs, and along with Bao Zhen and Bao Qiang....dig! Dig where the ground feels hottest."
"Roar!"
Six beasts, full of vigor, started clawing furiously at the earth.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan calmly collected his task rewards: two bottles of Fifth-Grade Qi Pills and two bottles of Fourth-Grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills. Swallowing one, he restored his drained spiritual power.
"Roar!"
Not long after, Xiao Yan cried out excitedly, holding a reddish crystal in its jaws.
Lin Xuan's eyes brightened as he took it.
"So this is Yangyuan Stone…"
It was a faint red crystal, its edges blurred, semi-transparent like glass. A soft warmth radiated from it, as if holding a fragment of the sun itself.
Yangyuan Stones were rare, birthed only in volcanic depths. Infused with both heaven and earth essence and tempered by molten lava, they contained traces of Yang Gang Qi.
For those about to break through....or who had already reached.....the Sky Origin Realm, they were the perfect cultivation resource.
And where one piece appeared, a whole vein would follow.
[Task: Find a Yangyuan Stone Vein. Reward: A pouch of Yangyuan Pills. Completed. Claim now?]
As expected, the moment Lin Xuan held the stone, the system notification appeared.
With the first Yangyuan Stone in hand, hope had been ignited.
Hu Ying and the other beasts now had even greater motivation to keep digging.
Lin Xuan rewarded Xiao Yan with a Blood Qi Pill, urging it to continue mining.
The other beasts, seeing this, grew even more eager.
They clawed furiously at the ground, wishing they could dig out another Yangyuan Stone right away to please Lin Xuan and earn a pill in return.
They had all experienced Lin Xuan's pills before....powerful beyond imagination.
Lin Xuan, however, no longer paid attention to the digging.
"Claim!"
A flash of white light descended, and a pouch appeared in Lin Xuan's hand.
Opening it, he found a hundred fiery-red pills neatly packed inside.
He took one out and examined it closely.
The pill was round and glossy, brimming with vigorous energy, radiating a faint warmth.
Gulp!
Lin Xuan swallowed the pill and began refining it.
Activating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, the medicinal power dissolved instantly.
His ears rang, and then.....like a rushing tide.....warmth spread rapidly through his body. The energy was dense but not violent, easily absorbed.
His body felt as if submerged in a hot spring immensely comfortable.
The warmth coursed through his meridians, seeping into his bones, blood, and flesh, before finally pouring into his dantian.
Not long after, the medicinal power was fully refined.
The Yuan Power in his dantian grew denser, infused with a trace of a strange new force....one completely opposite to Yin Fiend Qi.
"This should be Yang Gang Qi," Lin Xuan murmured.
At the Earth Origin Realm, one absorbed Yin Fiend Qi to strengthen Yuan Power.
At the Sky Origin Realm, it was Yang Gang Qi.
When Yin and Yang reached balance, one could merge them into a Yuan Dan....the dream of countless cultivators.
"If I absorb all one hundred of these Yangyuan Pills, I should be able to break through to the Sky Origin Realm."
Clutching the pouch, Lin Xuan's blood surged with
excitement.
