160: The grumpy crystal refiner, Ye Zhian!

“Mm.”

Mo Yan withdrew his hand, his expression calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

He walked through the messy battlefield, his gaze sweeping over the charred pits left by the explosions.

The ground was scorched black, and broken red crystals were everywhere.

He walked to the nearest pit, squatted down, and picked up a dark red crystal the size of a fingernail from inside.

It was warm to the touch and hard in texture.

A thought stirred.

Value Insight.

Name: Crimson Radiance Remnant Core

Quality: Rare

Type: Semi-finished Materials

Effect: Contains the power of fire elements, can be synthesized into Crimson Radiance Crystal, an excellent Material for making fire-attribute equipment or enchantments, and can also be used as an energy supplement for certain special buildings.

Overall Value: Medium

“It needs to be synthesized before it can be used…” Mo Yan’s eyes flickered.

However, it was not a big problem; he could take it to the Crystal Essence Workshop for synthesis.

With the quantity on the ground, lighting up the illustration was definitely not an issue.

He swept his gaze across the ground full of remnants and activated his talent again.

[Value Insight]

Name: Scarlet Sun Slimes Corpse (Tier 1, LV2)

Common Materials: Scarlet Sun Slimes Liquid, Crimson Radiance Gel

Overall Value: Low

As expected, these Slime corpses had no value.

Mo Yan stood up and said to the Soldiers.

“You all recover your Physique in place, then collect the scattered corpses and those Crimson Radiance Remnant Cores.”

“I’ll be back soon.”

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the depths of the valley, towards the bubbling lava lake.

“My Lord!” A Shield Soldier couldn’t help but shout, “There’s a lava lake ahead, you can’t get across!”

Bai Lingyue merely frowned and did not speak.

She knew Mo Yan wanted to use the same trick as last time to get to the other side.

The next second, the star ring on Mo Yan’s hand suddenly lit up with a faint starlight.

“Star Shift.”

As his voice fell, his figure was instantly enveloped by countless points of starlight, becoming ethereal, and then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, he suddenly vanished from his original spot.

“Where is he?!”

“My… My Lord… he’s gone!”

The newly arrived Shield Soldier exclaimed in shock, unable to believe their eyes.

Mo Yan paid no attention to the astonishment on the other side; his entire mind was drawn to the mysterious little grass before him.

They were only 0.3 meters tall, entirely golden, with leaves like burning flames, and at the top, a flower disc shaped like the sun, continuously emitting soft golden light.

Just by getting close, one could feel the supreme Yang power rushing over, making one feel warm all over.

[Value Insight]

Name: sun wheel grass (Mature Stage)

Quality: Epic

Type: Heaven And Earth Treasure / Spirit Plant

Effect: Contains a trace of the essence of Sun True Fire, possessing supreme Yang attribute. Can be used to refine Medicinal Pill or Magic Treasure that resist extreme cold.

Direct consumption can temper the Physique and expel cold poison from the body, but the process is painful and unbearable for non-strong individuals.

Introduction: Grows towards the sun, absorbing light, a natural nemesis of darkness and cold.

“It’s actually an Epic-grade Material!”

With it, the warm sun jade pendant could be made immediately.

In the coming frozen apocalypse, the value of this item was immeasurable.

He didn't delay, carefully bending down and reaching out to grasp the root of the sun wheel grass.

A scorching energy instantly surged into his body through his fingers; an ordinary person would probably be burned to ashes on the spot by this energy.

But Mo Yan only frowned slightly, and the spiritual Qi in his body circulated on its own, easily resolving this burning sensation.

He did not roughly pull it out directly but used his fingers to carefully dig away the scorching black reef soil.

To ensure the integrity of the root, his movements were gentle, as if he were handling a peerless treasure.

Time passed bit by bit in this tedious and focused excavation.

The Soldiers on the other side had long since recovered and, under Bai Lingyue’s command, had cleaned up the battlefield thoroughly.

The Crimson Radiance Remnant Cores and Slime corpses were sorted and piled into two small mountains.

Finally, after several hours.

Mo Yan carefully extracted the last sun wheel grass, along with its complete roots, from the scorching reef soil.

He stood up, looked at the neatly stacked five hundred-plus golden little grasses in his talent space, and let out a satisfied sigh.

Just then, the long-awaited voice sounded in his mind.

[Prompt: You have successfully hoarded Epic - sun wheel grass x500, the illustration has been lit up, activating Level 8 automatic production!]

[Epic Resource (sun wheel grass): +2 every 4 hours]

It’s done!

With this continuous supply of sun wheel grass, the warm sun jade pendant would no longer be a luxury item.

He could completely equip every member of his territory with one.

After completing all of this, he looked towards Bai Lingyue on the other side, and with a thought.

“Star Shift.”

Light flickered.

The next second, he appeared silently beside Bai Lingyue.

Bai Lingyue had almost instantly turned around the moment Mo Yan appeared, a golden glint flashing in her eyes, her spiritual Qi ready to be unleashed.

But after recognizing him, she reined in her Killing Intent and looked at him with a half-smile: “My Lord, next time, could you give a heads-up before appearing?”

“I’ll pay attention next time,” Mo Yan replied casually, his gaze falling on the two piles of spoils.

The Soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield and were lined up, waiting for orders.

Mo Yan walked to the two mountain-like piles of Materials and waved his hand.

Swish!

The piled-up Crimson Radiance Remnant Cores and Slime corpses vanished into thin air, all collected into his talent space.

[Prompt: You have successfully hoarded Tier 1 Alien Beast Corpse - Scarlet Sun Slimes x100, the illustration has been lit up, activating Level 8 automatic production!]

[Tier 1 Alien Beast Corpse (Scarlet Sun Slimes): +3 every 50 minutes]

[Prompt: You have successfully hoarded Rare - Crimson Radiance Remnant Core x500, the illustration has been lit up, activating Level 8 automatic production!]

[Rare Resource (Crimson Radiance Remnant Core): +3 every 50 minutes]

Today, four new automatic productions were added!

Mo Yan was in a great mood.

All the goals for this trip had been over-fulfilled.

He turned around and ordered the crowd.

“Everything is in hand; let’s go back.”

...

Passing by Mining Area No. 1, Mo Yan also picked up Gun Gun.

The little guy was gnawing on the obsidian he had dug out with great relish, but upon seeing Mo Yan, he immediately dropped the Ore and scurried over on his short legs, “Gulu Gulu,” affectionately hugging his calf.

By the time the group returned to the territory, dusk was approaching.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm golden hue over the entire territory, and the newly built Stargazing Platform and Enforcement Hall appeared particularly magnificent in the twilight.

The territory was brightly lit, not quieted by the arrival of night; instead, it exuded vibrant vitality everywhere.

Mo Yan did not rest; he walked directly to the production area, heading straight for the Crystal Essence Workshop.

Inside the workshop, heat waves rolled, and the air was filled with the unique smell of smelted Ore.

A thin figure in gray cloth, with messy hair, was pacing back and forth around a high-speed operating crystal furnace, muttering to himself.

“Slow! Too slow! Haven’t you eaten? Control the fire with more precision! Idiots, didn’t you see that crystal’s Impurities line was off by 0.3 degrees?!”

Epic Crystal Refiner Ye Zhian was shouting at two trembling low-level crystal refiners, his face smeared with dust, but his eyes showed persistence.

Mo Yan’s arrival did not distract him.

“Great Master Ye,” Mo Yan said.
