Chu Yi looked on with itching curiosity; he turned his head towards Elder Xie, a multitude of "?" symbols clearly written across his face.
"Actually, this isn't anything unusual. These little mouse-mined stones are one example. There's also something used in artifact refining—have you heard of it?"
It was Tang Wan, with her wide range of knowledge, who asked, "Are you referring to Fire Pig Bone? However, as far as I know, these stones are not used for artifact refining."
Elder Xie laughed, giving Tang Wan a thumbs-up.
"That's not absolutely the case. Some living creature ores, if your mana is sufficiently strong, can be transformed into one another. However, so far, no one has been able to do this."
Chu Yi silently nodded his head.
They chatted as they walked on ahead.
When they reached a wooden hut, Elder Xie stopped.
Chu Yi caught the faint scent of medicinal herbs and couldn't help but ask, "Have you planted a lot of medicinal plants here?"
