After seeing this, Lin Haoming suddenly thought of something, and immediately took out a red gauze scarf, wrapped it around himself, and the original scorching feeling disappeared instantly. Then, Lin Haoming opened his storage bag again, and a crimson umbrella was summoned.

Fa Yuan and Wang Chen, seeing Lin Haoming take out two treasures that could resist fire at once, also had expectations for him.

Lin Haoming then directly cast a spell on the Heavenly Umbrella, and the Heavenly Umbrella immediately emitted a burst of red light, opening up the umbrella.

Lin Haoming turned the umbrella upside down and used it to propel himself into the cave entrance.

The cave entrance was about thirty zhang above the lava below.

Once he reached the bottom, Lin Haoming realized that Fa Yuan was right; the earth fire was incredibly intense.

Being far from the lava lake was manageable, but as he approached the surface, Lin Haoming felt that without his two treasures, he would have been unable to withstand it.

Fortunately, he could still hold on, but maintaining the two magical artifacts was draining his mana. Lin Haoming swallowed two Qi-restoring pills and quickly reached the location of the fire crystal, then swiftly took out his shovel and began to dig.

The fire crystal was much easier to mine than spirit stones. In just a few strokes, he had removed a fire crystal the size of an adult's head. He then looked around to see if there were any other treasures.

Lin Haoming was surprised to find that the underground area was a treasure trove. Right above him, scattered like stars, were fire-attribute spirit stones.

Lin Haoming quickly flew to the top and examined them closely. He discovered that many of the spirit stones were mid-grade, and some were even high-grade.

A single high-grade spirit stone was worth ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!

The top was high enough to withstand the lava lake's heat, and with two magical artifacts providing protection, Lin Haoming continued chiseling.

Lin Haoming selectively chiseled the best stones, ignoring those below mid-grade. He immediately tossed the chiseled stones into his merit bead, clearly intending to keep them for himself.

"Junior Brother Lin, how are things down there?"

Wang Chen's voice called from beside him.

Lin Haoming replied loudly, "There are quite a few mid-grade spirit stones here. I'll take some and come back up!"

Hearing this, Wang Chen didn't say anything more.

He wanted to come down too, but lacking any magical artifact to resist the subterranean fire, he figured he couldn't last even half a quarter of an hour, so he simply gave up.

Fa Yuan, seeing Lin Haoming obtain the Fire-Melting Crystal, ignored him and began meditating to rest; he had been badly burned earlier.

Lin Haoming chiseled for a full half hour, removing some of the better spirit stones nearby. Although there were still many spirit stones left, Lin Haoming's magical power was too depleted, and he couldn't continue, so he had to retreat.

Upon seeing Lin Haoming return, Fayuan smiled and asked, "Benefactor Lin, you obtained this Fire Fusion Crystal, so I won't steal it. I just wonder if you could share some with me? I'd like to exchange some things with you!"

Having cooperated with Fayuan for so long, Lin Haoming felt it was worthwhile to establish a good relationship with the young monk. He didn't need the Fire Fusion Crystal for the time being, and he would have enough spirit stones later, so he directly took out two Fire Fusion Crystals, each about the size of an adult's fist, and tossed them to him, saying, "Take these. Consider it revenge for the Soul-Soothing Curse you gave me before. Besides, those storage bags are mine now!"

"Hehe, Brother Lin, you're indeed straightforward. I like people like you. A little bit of benefit is nothing to haggle over." Fayuan, seeing Lin Haoming give him these, found him increasingly agreeable and stopped calling him "benefactor," directly addressing him as "brother."

"Are there many fire-attribute spirit stones down there?" Wang Chen asked, noticing Lin Haoming had almost exhausted his mana upon returning.

Lin Haoming nodded and said, "Indeed, quite a lot. It's a pity we need to constantly use magical artifacts to resist the earth fire; otherwise, we could easily chisel down over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones a day."

Upon hearing that Lin Haoming could actually chisel down so many spirit stones, Wang Chen was also somewhat surprised.

Fa Yuan also asked curiously, "Benefactor Lin, do you mean there are many mid-grade spirit stones down there?"

Lin Haoming nodded upon hearing this.

Fa Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "That's true! You know, where there are top-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones become extremely concentrated!"

"Really? Top-grade spirit stones are occasionally found, and their spiritual power is equivalent to a hundred high-grade spirit stones, but their intrinsic value is far too great; it's not something a hundred high-grade spirit stones can buy." Lin Haoming said, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course I know that, but if there's a chance, we can't miss it. If we really found such a top-grade spirit stone, do you know what that means?" "If a Golden Core cultivator uses a top-grade spirit stone to help them break through to the Nascent Soul stage, their chances can increase by at least 50%. Add to that other methods, and it's practically like one top-grade spirit stone can create a Nascent Soul cultivator!" Fa Yuan said earnestly.

"That powerful?" Wang Chen was also somewhat surprised.

Fa Yuan continued with a half-smile, "That's not the most important thing. Do you know? My master herself is also searching for top-grade spirit stones. If she could gather five different elemental top-grade spirit stones, she wouldn't be without a chance to break through to the legendary Divine Transformation stage!"

Hearing Fa Yuan's words, Lin Haoming finally understood what top-grade spirit stones truly meant. These things had a value several times, even dozens of times, greater than a million spirit stones.

"Once I recover my mana, let's go down and look for them together!" Lin Haoming decided.

"I don't have a magic weapon for protection, and I'm not a body-refining cultivator. I'm afraid I can't last long!" "Wang Chen worried about himself.

Lin Haoming thought for a moment, then immediately took out his storage bag specifically for storing magical artifacts. After searching for a while, he found a cloak and tossed it to him, saying, "Take a look, see if this can protect against flames!"

Taking the cloak, Wang Chen quickly exclaimed with delight, "That's right, this thing is indeed useful!" "

Seeing Wang Chen's words, Lin Haoming felt relieved.

As for Fa Yuan's strength, he was powerful enough that as long as he didn't get close to the lava lake's surface, there shouldn't be any problems.

After resting for about half an hour, the three of them went down again.

Stuck to the top of the lava lake, this place was farther from the surface, and the threat of the earth fire was less.

Upon coming down, Wang Chen was genuinely surprised to see the fire spirit stones here. A spirit stone mine with an annual output of 30 million spirit stones was indeed extraordinary.

Deducing the spirit stone mine's spirit eyes based on the distribution of spirit stones was a very troublesome task, especially since this place had many small spirit eyes. Although one could find a high-grade spirit stone, it also interfered with the chance of finding a top-grade spirit stone.

Fa Yuan was concerned about how to find spirit stones..." They weren't particularly skilled at searching for the Spirit Eye in the mine, so they spent half a day without finding one. Twice, they spent too much time down there, greatly depleting their mana and forcing them to return to the cave entrance to recover.

This time, due to severe mana depletion, they returned to the cave entrance. But as soon as the three of them flew out, they suddenly discovered three figures dressed as inner disciples of the Blood Refining Sect, also standing at the cave entrance, peering down below.
