After retrieving a batch of ore from the Treasury, Shen Can returned to his residence.

He planned to let his division body cultivate for a while, then head to the valley region to oversee and establish the core area of the Blazing Flame Bo Division.

Pieces of ore glimmering with spiritual light were placed around the division body.

High-tier ore is rarely found isolated; most are produced within the veins, with uncertain yields.

Even a vein several dozen meters long might produce only one or two pieces of varying size of high-quality ore in its core region.

The ores surrounding the division body varied in size, and the luster of the glow differed as well.

Shen Can focused his consciousness on the division body, sensing its affinity for the ores.

The division body raised its hand to grasp a piece of Purple Copper Ore, easily employing the Gold Attribute Technique for his cultivation.

The purple glow emitted from the copper ore exuded an aura of sharpness.

Previously, to sense the sharpness of metal, one needed to use divine sense to probe it.

But now, with the help of the division body, the sharpness within the ore was felt as soon as it approached.

Even the intensity of the spiritual mechanism within the ore could be sensed clearly.

Purple Copper Ore, Mica Ore, Profound Cold Ore...

Among dozens of ores, in addition to the presence of the gold attribute breath, other attributes were also present.

As the cultivation technique circulated, the spiritual mechanism from the Purple Copper Ore transformed into faint strands of purple flow, entering the division body.

Beside him, Shen Can also picked up another piece of Purple Copper Ore, attempting to extract the spiritual mechanism within.

As a Divine Treasure Martial Artist, he could naturally extract the spiritual mechanism for cultivation, but the ore was not suitable as a cultivation resource, making the process feel obscure and uncomfortable.

In contrast, the division body thoroughly enjoyed it.

The star-like shimmering ore powder fused in the flesh lit up instantly within the division body, putting the entire body in a state of bliss. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The spiritual mechanism in the ore was continuously absorbed, being integrated into the Celestial Vein as it circulated.

Once drained of its spiritual mechanism, the ore easily cracked into several dull pieces of stone.

Upon grasping a pitch-black ore, suddenly, it felt as if a sea of stars emerged within the division body.

The flesh, bones, five viscera, and four limbs all lit up with brilliant star lights.

...

"Meteoric Iron."

Shen Can immediately recognized the ore that had just been refined.

Meteoric iron was common in the Great Wilderness. Records in the clan mention seeing blazing fire streak across the night sky in past generations.

Gazing into the night sky often revealed solitary Red Fire falling.

Why did meteoric stone evoke such a strong response from the division body?

Shen Can patted the Witch Pouch, retrieving a tiny speck of ore dust from it.

This was extracted from the division body previously; due to its relevance, Shen Can didn’t discard it.

After being stored in the Witch Pouch for months, it still shimmered with dots of radiant light when taken out.

Shen Can placed this speck of starry dust alongside another piece of meteoric stone to examine it closely.

Then he discovered something very unexpected.

What lay within the division body was actually a meteoric stone.

How were humans and meteoric stones connected? Shen Can found it somewhat mystical.

Previously, he merely thought it was ore without specifically linking it to meteoric stones.

The shattered meteoric stone turned into tiny specks, merging within the division body.

Within the division body, a mystical energy maintained the vitality of the flesh and the integrity of the dispersed soul power.

It was unclear whether there was a connection between the two.

Soon, a decree from the Ancestral Temple called for the collection of meteoric iron by the tribesmen.

This could potentially exist anywhere across the vast mountains and fields.

In the following months, a steady stream of meteoric iron was sent from various settlements within the tribe to the Ancestral Temple.

However, finding meteoric stones was challenging and their quality varied; the division body still primarily relied on absorbing the spiritual mechanism from ores for cultivation.

With no warfare in these days, Shen Can was comfortably and leisurely engaged in cultivation, the Inference Technique, and worshipping the Sacrificial Spirit.

On the Guimu River, large ships with Blazing Flame Division flags sailed downstream to central and southern Ji Land for trade with some tribes.

Beast hides and witch medicine from the mountains were popular in the central and southern Ji Land tribes, exchanged for necessary ores, rice seeds, etc., for the tribe.

Along the riverbanks, where arable lands were found, small Human Race tribes began to appear.

Where these people hid previously, even though tribes like Blazing Flame and Jishan searched, could not be discovered.

Now, with regional stability, they appeared as if emerging from burrows underground.

Three months passed by.

Inside the Ancestral Temple, the division body continued to persistently absorb the spiritual mechanism from ores, its aura swiftly rising from Celestial Vein First Layer to Celestial Vein Sixth Layer.

This was all because the Celestial Vein within the division body had long been unblocked, requiring only to continuously absorb spiritual mechanism and transform it into blood energy.

While consuming and refining the spiritual mechanism of ores, Shen Can simultaneously aided in repairing fractures within the Celestial Vein of the division body.

On the bones within the division body, faint Beast Patterns had emerged, but with inadequate cultivation resources, they weren’t prominent yet.

At this rate, it’s not a matter of advancing to Divine Treasure; the Blazing Flame Division simply couldn’t supply enough high-quality ore for the division body’s cultivation.

As for meteoric stones, tribesmen needed to rely on luck to find them.
