If you add a little Phoenix Stone powder to a Fire Element Spiritual Artifact, suppose the artifact suffers minor damage, it can use the master’s nurturing to repair itself.

Others nodded in agreement, and Ji An echoed with interest, having heard a bit of Phoenix Stone’s fame.

Zhuu Xiangrong turned his head to Li Haoran, "Junior Brother, is the Flying Sword sharp?"

"It cuts gold and breaks jade silently."

"Good, watch the position of my finger as it slices close to them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver gleam flickered away, splitting the Li Fire Crystal into two halves, but the stone table remained flawless.

The cut surface of the Li Fire Crystal was smooth as a mirror, and everyone gathered around the stone table to observe closely, without finding anything.

Jia Yu muttered, "I can’t see anything else here."

His words echoed everyone’s thoughts, and Ji An did not find any sign of the Phoenix Stone.

Zhuu Xiangrong smiled without saying anything, and lightly tapped the center of the smaller half of the Li Fire Crystal’s cut.

"Be patient. Soon you will see a difference."

As he spoke, he pressed down with his palm, channeling magical power to transform into flames.

An astonishing scene unfolded, within the Li Fire Crystal appeared a giant mouth, swallowing all the flames.

Everyone could clearly see the truth, a gold-patterned area the size of a fingernail was revealed, which was absorbing the flames.

Jia Yu grinned and said, "A pleasant surprise indeed, I will report the findings here to the ancestor!"

Just these gains of Dragon Blood Essence Gold and Phoenix Stone are worth hundreds of top-grade spirit stones, priceless in the market.

He recorded various spiritual objects, and everyone exchanged for what they needed and then left one by one.

...

Looking up at the last person disappearing from sight, Ji An restrained his excitement and flew on golden auspicious clouds to the grotto mansion.

He closed the grotto mansion’s Dharma Prohibition to ensure he wouldn’t be disturbed, then hurriedly came to the Quiet Chamber, sitting cross-legged on the pudun, sinking his mind into his dantian, linking with the Upper Stone Turtle, lines of characters appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Ji An silently laughed. This time he gained a large amount of Dao Rhyme, he’s going all in!

He took down the Gourd Stone Pendant and held it in his hand, sincerely issuing the command.

’Refine all Dao Rhyme and Spiritual Mechanism to cultivate the Gourd World!’

The Gourd Stone suddenly heated up, various patterns on its surface seemed to come alive, constantly twisting.

In the Quiet Chamber, light began to be absorbed by the stone, as if it had become a black hole.

Ji An could clearly see the distortion of light, similar to the spatial distortion felt during teleportation.

Time seemed to stop, he could hear the sound of blood flowing, feel the drum-like beating of his heart.

Gradually, he lost sense of the external world, with everything becoming blurry.

When Ji An’s consciousness regained clarity, he found himself in the same position without any change.

He stretched deeply, rubbing the pale gray Gourd Stone, feeling its texture becoming more delicate.

The upper part of the Gourd Stone now displayed brighter sun, moon, and stars, while the lower part showed more vibrant flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

The leaf and vine patterns amidst the complex base color gained a verdant sheen, the rugged mountain stones showed more ancient charm.

Ji An took a deep breath, feeling a bit apprehensive, having gone all in without knowing what outcome awaited.

He once again sank his mind into his dantian, linking with the Upper Stone Turtle, "Enter the Gourd World!"

The next moment, he vanished from his original location, the Gourd Stone Pendant floating in the air, emitting a faint light.

...

The space measured thirty zhang in circumference, nearly fifty acres, the gray mist surrounding the edges had turned white, marking the world’s boundary.

Here was no longer barren; it transformed into a colorful world.

If you consider the space as a large circle, the land he tread was a small yellow circle, with soil fine and damp.

Around the outer side of the small circle were regions of black, green, red, and white soil.

Ji An closed his eyes, feeling the concentration of spiritual qi, finding it only at Tier One Upper Grade level, inducing a bit of disappointment.

The disappointment only lasted a moment before being tossed aside. This was a newly born little world, the path ahead still long, he would attempt to improve the soil to cultivate a spiritual vein.

The soil improvement methods are all in the planting inheritance of Middle Continent cultivators.

However, this matter was a lengthy process, not urgent at the moment, what he needed to do was patrol this territory which belonged only to him!

The red area housed a large human-shaped stone sculpture, magma flowed from its mouth, cascading downwards.

Ji An flew over on a cloud; upon leaving the yellow area, he felt as if passing through an invisible membrane, immediately experiencing intense heat.

"Truly magical!"

Suppressing his inner excitement, he flew to the stone sculpture and couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

The stone sculpture’s face was somewhat indistinct but resembled him by seven to eight parts.

He saw the magma flow into a deep chasm over ten zhang deep, finding a hidden grotto heaven below, a subterranean magma lake, with several platforms five feet wide rising from the magma.

Ji An left the red area and entered the region of white soil, immediately sensing another difference.

A gentle breeze blew here, its source unknown, yet the wind felt like blades, possessing a sharp quality.

"A place to plant Gold Spirit Plants!"

Ji An passed through this region to the black soil area, finding a pond at its center, spanning three acres.

He took out the Water-Resistant Bead and dived into the pond, feeling tendrils of chill spreading into the space upheld by the magical artifact.

The pond was ten zhang deep, with a spring like a small arm at its base.

"Great, there’s a place to nurture Spirit Fish, I’ll catch and place some in here in a few days."

Ji An emerged from the water surface and flew to the green soil area on a cloud.

After patrolling around, he returned to the very center of the small world, taking out a black "stone" intersected with yellow lines.
