Chapter 1758: Yuan Magnetic Ore Veins and Golden Infant Fruit Trees

The cave extended deep underground, with the path winding intricately. Stalactites hung from the ceiling, and water droplets occasionally fell.

A moment later, Wang Xin abruptly stopped. He could clearly sense something unusual ahead, blocking his divine sense.

The Wood Demon moved forward, scouting the path. However, it couldn't proceed beyond a hundred feet; it seemed a powerful restriction ahead was holding it captive.

Wang Xin summoned a dazzling golden flying dagger and sent it flying forward. The golden dagger flew about a hundred feet, then abruptly fell to the ground.

"Magnetic field!"

Wang Xin frowned. The Buried Immortal Sea was a natural magnetic field where cultivators' divine senses were severely restricted. Could there also be some kind of magnetic ore here?

Numerous mysterious golden runes appeared on his body, and his entire being was enveloped in golden Buddhist light as he strode forward. After walking just a hundred feet, he felt a powerful gravitational pull. It was as if an immense weight had been placed on his shoulders; his body sank, and his feet dug into the ground. An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would certainly be helpless, but Wang Xin was a Buddhist cultivator and also a Nascent Soul stage body cultivator. The golden runes on his body immediately flared brightly, the pressure on his shoulders eased, and he strode forward.

After walking over a thousand feet, he arrived at a cavern roughly a hundred mu in area. In its upper left corner stood a pale golden fruit tree with oval, golden leaves. Seven pale golden fruits hung on the tree; their form resembled miniature infants, and from a distance, they looked like seven little golden figures hanging on the tree.

"Golden Infant Fruit! This is the primary ingredient for refining the Infant Transformation Pill!" Wang Xin exclaimed, his expression excited. The Wang family had gone through multiple upheavals, lacking many valuable items, with rare fruit trees being even scarcer. If this Golden Infant Fruit tree were moved back to Green Lotus Island, it would be much easier for the family to cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators in the future.

The stone wall on the right shimmered with a pale golden spiritual light, clearly indicating the presence of some special ore. He walked towards the stone wall on the right. The closer he got to the wall, the stronger the gravitational pull became. He took out his Grand Clarity Spirit-Slaying Blade and swung it at the stone wall.

"Clang!" Sparks flew, and the Grand Clarity Spirit-Slaying Blade stuck firmly to the stone wall.

"Primordial Magnetic Ore Vein!" Wang Xin gasped, his eyes burning with excitement.

Primordial Magnetic Stone was an extremely rare refining material. When refined into a magic treasure, it could suppress magic treasures forged with metal ores. Additionally, it could emit magnetic light to trap enemies and gravity to harm them. The Divine Weapon Palace possessed a Primordial Magnetic Orb, one of its sect-guarding treasures, capable of weakening the power of magnetic fields. It was this Primordial Magnetic Orb that allowed Wang Changsheng and others to delve deep into the Buried Immortal Sea and eliminate Zhou Sihong.

Primordial Magnetic Stone could only be used to refine magnetic artifacts. To refine a powerful treasure like the Primordial Magnetic Orb, Primordial Magnetic Crystals were required. A Primordial Magnetic Ore Vein might contain Primordial Magnetic Crystals. There was one here, but it was unknown if it contained Primordial Magnetic Crystals. Mining the Primordial Magnetic Ore Vein would be extremely difficult, and not something he could accomplish alone.

He turned and walked towards the Golden Infant Fruit tree. To his surprise, there was no magnetic force whatsoever near it, which explained why the Golden Infant Fruit tree could grow and bear fruit successfully. The Golden Infant Fruit tree was quite far from the Primordial Magnetic Ore Vein, which was why it wasn't affected by the magnetic field. From this, it seemed the Primordial Magnetic Ore Vein was not large, and the chances of finding Primordial Magnetic Crystals were low. Gold-devouring beasts feed on metal ores, and primordial magnetic ore is also a type of metal ore. This explains why a creature of that nature could move freely here.

Wang Xin walked out, taking the Double-eyed Rat and the Wood Demon with him, and had them transplant the Golden Infant Fruit tree. The Wood Demon rooted itself underground, while the Double-eyed Rat burrowed into the earth. Soon, the ground shook violently, and the Golden Infant Fruit tree slowly emerged from the earth, its roots intact. With the Wood Demon and Double-eyed Rat working together, transplanting spiritual herbs and trees was very convenient.

Wang Xin picked the seven Golden Infant Fruits and carefully placed them into seven golden jade boxes.

Exiting the cave, Wang Xin left markings near the valley. He also drew the topography of the valley's vicinity on a piece of beast hide, marking the valley with a golden symbol.

"Let's go! We still have many spiritual herbs to find and much more to do!" Wang Xin instructed. The Double-eyed Rat burrowed into the ground and moved quickly, with the Wood Demon following closely.

Outside the secret realm, on an island, was a spacious and brightly lit hall. Murong Yuyao was speaking to Wang Changsheng, and Wang Ruyan and others were also present.

"Our ancestors set up a control hub in the secret realm," Murong Yuyao slowly began. "Once it's found and activated with spirit stones, it will resume operation, and we'll be able to leave the secret realm. If there are any fifth-tier demon beasts, they will also be teleported out by the formation." She continued, "Generally, secret realms are divided into natural and artificial ones. This supreme-grade secret realm was artificial, set up with various restrictions primarily to prevent the emergence of fifth-tier demon beasts. With regular openings, the chance of fifth-tier demon beasts appearing was very low. However, this particular secret realm has been sealed for ten thousand years, so there might well be fifth-tier demon beasts."

"So many years have passed," Wang Changsheng frowned and said. "If a fifth-tier demon beast appeared, wouldn't the control hub be useless? Surely, a fifth-tier demon beast would have destroyed it by now!"

Murong Yuyao shook her head, saying confidently, "No. The control hub is built on a Primordial Magnetic Mountain. Unless the demon beast can ignore magnetic fields, it won't be able to destroy that Primordial Magnetic Mountain."

"Primordial Magnetic Mountain! Why didn't your ancestors refine it into a treasure? Leaving it in the secret realm seems like such a waste!"

"Not exactly," Murong Yuyao replied. "This secret realm was actually a natural one. It was later transformed by our Murong family with vast resources into a supreme-grade secret realm. That Primordial Magnetic Mountain is too small; refining it into a magic treasure would be too wasteful. Our ancestors set up a formation, hoping it would give birth to Primordial Magnetic Crystals, which is why it was left in the secret realm. However, the Primordial Magnetic Crystals hadn't yet been nurtured before our Murong family began to decline."

"Primordial Magnetic Crystals!" Wang Changsheng was momentarily stunned, his eyes immediately burning with excitement. Primordial Magnetic Ore was completely different from Primordial Magnetic Crystals. Primordial Magnetic Ore could only be used to refine ordinary magic treasures, at best a single spirit treasure, whereas Primordial Magnetic Crystals could refine at least one spirit treasure. The Divine Weapon Palace possessed a Primordial Magnetic Orb, one of its six great sect-guarding treasures.

"So many years have passed," Fairy Ziyue said with a smile. "Perhaps Primordial Magnetic Crystals, such a rare refining material, have already been nurtured." As a refiner, she naturally understood the value of Primordial Magnetic Crystals. If there truly were Primordial Magnetic Crystals in the secret realm, at least one spirit treasure could be refined, enhancing Wang Changsheng's strength.

"If we could obtain several more Primordial Magnetic Mountains," Wang Qingqing said somewhat excitedly, "and refine a set of Primordial Magnetic magic treasures, Father's strength would be even greater." A complete set of Primordial Magnetic magic treasures would be no less powerful than a spirit treasure.

"Primordial Magnetic Mountains are not that easy to obtain," Wang Ruyan chuckled softly. "Throughout the Eastern Barren Realm, the Buried Immortal Sea has the richest mineral resources. However, with the outbreak of Spirit-Severing Qi in the Buried Immortal Sea, finding Primordial Magnetic Mountains there would be difficult."

"Let's just wait for good news!" Wang Changsheng said calmly. "I hope Wang Xin can give us a surprise."
