"Follow me," said the Old Qilin, waving his hand. The Stone Jar floated into the air, and the Old Qilin held it up with one hand as he walked back. Seeing this, Mo Wen hurriedly followed.
"I will teach you the method of refining it now. Once refined, you will be able to control this Yin Yang Stone at will." Upon returning to the edge of the Lava Lake, the Old Qilin set down the Stone Jar and imparted the refining technique to Mo Wen.
"Refine it here, but do not make any noise," the Old Qilin instructed before disappearing.
Mo Wen did not start refining immediately; instead, he observed Xiao Hei in the center of the lake. Xiao Hei was still glowing and emanating heat, showing no signs of danger. In fact, it seemed to have grown stronger, with spiritual energy fluctuations beginning to emanate from it as it was undergoing a transformation towards the Demon Beast level. Previously, he had been stunned by the sights within the cave, but now he noticed that the layout resembled some sort of Magic Circle, with the platform in the center of the lake appearing to be its core. It was no wonder that the Old Qilin had chosen to place his remains there and instructed Mo Wen not to disturb anything in the cave; it was all part of preparing for Bloodline Inheritance. Confirming that Xiao Hei was fine, Mo Wen began studying the Yin Yang Stone Cauldron before him.
...
Seven days later, Mo Wen focused his mind and commanded, "Collect!" The Stone Jar began to shrink and landed in his hand. The fatigue on his face vanished as he looked at the bowl-sized Stone Jar in his palm. The lava and ice water inside remained, but its original curve had transformed into a straight line. After removing the Shuang Sheng Lian, the Yin Yang Fish pattern inside had disappeared, leaving a simple black on one side and white on the other; this change was not due to the refining process.
The refining had been highly successful. The method taught by the Old Qilin was quite unique; had Mo Wen relied on what he had learned previously, he would not have been able to refine this Stone Jar without reaching Ning Shen Realm. The Old Qilin's refining technique was called Law Refinement Technique, which utilized the Law of Power for refinement. This technique was not found in any of the artifact crafting texts given by Old Lu; it must have been either created by the Old Qilin or derived from some ancient ruins.
After playing with the Stone Jar for a while, he stored it in his belt. He thought about the Shuang Sheng Lian he had obtained earlier and wished he had a Spatial Artifact capable of holding living things. That way, he could place this Stone Jar inside and plant the Shuang Sheng Lian, allowing him to cultivate any rare herbs he might find later. He quickly dismissed this thought; acquiring a Spatial Artifact that could store living beings was not something easily achieved—even Old Lu might not possess one.
Observing Xiao Hei again, he found its condition unchanged from seven days ago. Gathering his thoughts, he found a corner to eat some food before sitting down to meditate. After seven continuous days of refining the Yin Yang Stone Cauldron, Mo Wen felt extremely fatigued; what he needed most now was rest before continuing his cultivation.
He sat like this for over a month. During this time, Mo Wen woke up several times and crafted some tools. After confirming that Xiao Hei was unharmed, he resumed his cultivation.
One day, he sensed that his Kung Fu training had reached a bottleneck; if he continued practicing, it would likely lead to instability in his foundation. Thus, he decided to stop practicing Kung Fu altogether and focus on comprehending Law instead. His Shen Su Jing had already reached great mastery; although there was still room for improvement, he had grasped its essence well enough that further practice would be meaningless. With an abundance of Fire Spirit Power in this place, it would be better to take this opportunity to deeply understand Law.
