The Eternal Saint of Alchemy

After she took over, she focused most of her energy on finding the Silverfrost Sword, rather than the main network.

She said that the first generation of starlight spiritual power stored in the Silver Frost Sword is closely related to the structure of the bottom layer of Starfall Plain. If the parameters can be analyzed, it may be able to make up for a small deviation when connecting to Aurora Plain.

Xiao Fan listened attentively, then took out the map covered in bone fragments from his spatial ring and placed it on the stone table. He traced the connection point of the Aurora Plain with his finger: "The deviation you mentioned, is it the end of the third route northwest of the Aurora Plain?"

Bai Ye glanced at the map and nodded. "In the long run, the spiritual energy flow in the northwest direction of Aurora Plain will be about 10% lower than the design value."

She took a dark purple chip from her sleeve and placed it on the edge of the map.

Xiao Fan took the chip and examined it carefully. He found that it was exactly the same as the residual spiritual power of the separatist faction that he had found in the Gray Domain, only it had been purified.

Bai Ye nodded: "As long as it's applied to the copper plates connecting the nodes, the calibration can be performed. Your spiritual energy frequency is complementary to ours; neither can be modified in this way on its own."

Xiao Fan put away the bone map, stood up, and said, "You take the medium, and I'll take the talismans and spirit stones."

Bai Ye stood up, her hand resting on the Silver Frost Sword at her waist. Her frost-white robe shone softly under the starlight.

She nodded: "I'll be waiting for you at the third entrance northwest of Aurora Plain when the sun is high in the sky tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiao Fan left the stone hall with the Earth Core Golden Mane Beast.

Not far from the stone hall, Xiao Fan glanced back at it. The deep purple crystal pillars emitted a soft, yet not dazzling, light, and a figure in a white robe stood there, watching him leave.

The following afternoon, Xiao Fan arrived at the third entrance in the northwest direction of Aurora Plains.

Bai Ye had been waiting for a long time.

She slung the Silver Frost Sword over her shoulder, and in her hand she held a small, purplish-black crystal bottle containing the purified correction fluid.

The Earth Core Golden Mane Beast followed closely behind, sniffed the spiritual energy in the air, and lay down near the cave entrance.

The two followed the corridor to the circular stone chamber at the end.

Inside the stone chamber, the silver pillar of light that had been suspended in mid-air had disappeared, leaving only a bronze token that still emitted a faint silver glow.

Bai Ye walked to the disc, squatted down, looked at it, and then used a silver needle to dip into the correction medium in the bottle, spreading a layer of light purple liquid evenly on the disc.

The liquid quickly solidified on the surface of the bronze talisman, and after merging with it, the color of the bronze talisman changed from dark purple to the same bronze color as the talisman.

Bai Ye took a step back, checked the correction effect, and then took out a small diamond-shaped chip from his pocket and stuck it on the disc as a reference.

After doing all this, she said to Xiao Fan, "Try to inject spiritual energy into the array plate at a normal frequency."

Xiao Fan stepped forward, placed his palm on the talisman, and injected a stream of spiritual power into the Moon-Rank Spirit Core at a normal frequency.

The spiritual energy flowed more smoothly within the disc, and upon reaching its edge, it was no longer stagnant. The spiritual energy environment at the end of the passage also became much more stable.

"The deviation has been corrected." He withdrew his hand and watched as Bai Ye picked up the diamond-shaped calibration chip on the back of the disc, checked the color change of the crystal under the light, and confirmed that the calibration effect met his requirements before putting it away.

The two walked out of the passage, and the pale golden sunlight shone on the ice.

The Earth Core Golden Mane Beast stood up, stretched, and its mane shimmered in the sunlight. It seemed to sense that its condition had greatly improved, and its spirit had become more vigorous.

Bai Ye stood at the entrance, gazing at the distant horizon. The winter wind ruffled her long robes, softening her voice and adding a subtle warmth. "Your system will have more refining materials from now on."

Xiao Fan looked at her profile, which gleamed golden in the sunlight: "I should thank you for helping me correct this mistake."

Bai Ye looked at him with a faint smile: "When you helped me retrieve the Silverfrost Sword, I hadn't formally thanked you yet. Now we're even."

She turned around and walked towards Starfall Plain, the hilt of the Silverfrost Sword gleaming softly against her snow-white back.

After walking a few steps, she turned back and added, "There are similar deviations in the middle section of Aurora Plain, but they are smaller. We'll decide next time we meet."

After saying that, she continued walking forward.

The Earth Core Golden Mane Beast let out a low growl and rubbed its tail against Xiao Fan's boots.

After the spiritual power calibration of the Silver Frost Sword and the talisman was completed, Bai Ye and Xiao Fan began to cooperate more frequently.

When they met for the second time, Bai Ye had already resolved some minor issues in the middle section of Aurora Plains. Afterward, Bai Ye provided him with old files from the Frost Shadow Cult on two separate occasions, which contained survey results of a branch line in the southern part of Aurora Plains.

Xiao Fan compared it with his own bone map and confirmed that there were a few blurry areas that could be corrected.

Meanwhile, the Earth Core Golden Mane Beast gradually developed a sense of identification with Bai Ye.

The first time it was in a room with her, it was at least three meters away from her; the second time, it was only five steps away; and the third time, it could lie down next to Bai Ye very naturally.

Bai Ye occasionally looked down, but did not deliberately touch it, as if she knew that this symbiosis required a certain amount of time and rhythm and could not be forced.

Bai Ye knew much more than Xiao Fan had imagined.

She grew up in Xingluoyuan and had an innate intuition. Xiao Fan obtained accurate data from Taixu Dansheng, and with the sensing ability of the Moon-Rank Spirit Core, he was able to make up for her lack of deep spiritual energy structure.

The two had developed a very good working relationship—one knew "where" and the other knew "how to open" it.

The first generation of starlight spiritual energy on the Silverfrost Sword demonstrated its special function during several joint explorations: each time it passed a new pipeline node, the silver patterns on the sword would automatically record the spiritual energy parameters at that point and appear as text on the blade.

Each time, Bai Ye would record these words, and then Xiao Fan would compare them with the locations on the skeletal map.

The cooperation between the two sides is becoming increasingly close.

After one expedition, the two rested under an ice wall south of the Aurora Plain. Bai Ye sat against the wall, his Silver Frost Sword resting across his knees, and suddenly said, "The Frost Shadow Sect has never sat down with the people of Taixu for an investigation before. This is your first time."

Xiao Fan sat on a boulder, with the Golden Mane Beast of the Earth's Core beneath his feet. The winter sun shone on the ice wall, reflecting colorful light.

He looked at Bai Ye's calm profile and said, "You have never met a successor of the Taixu lineage who is willing to sit with you and explore together."
