Han Li and Yuan Yao cross the desert in tense silence, dodging swarms of Iron Fire Ants. But when the swarms suddenly stop and a single, enormous crystal pillar appears on the horizon, it becomes clear that someone—or something—has been clearing a path. What Han Li finds inside that pillar leads to a shocking discovery that could change his arsenal forever. Then the scene cuts to a sealed stone hall, where the real power players of the expedition sit in heavy silence, waiting for the next move. The calm before the storm just got a lot more personal.
This chapter is a masterclass in *quiet profit* — one of the most satisfying patterns in the Mortal Stream. Han Li doesn’t win a fight or outsmart a rival; he simply *reads an obscure book, remembers a fringe fact, sees an opportunity, and cashes in*. The Refining Crystal is not a gift; it’s a payout on a knowledge investment made chapters ago. That’s the essence of Han Li’s power: not raw talent, but a photocopying memory and a tactical mind that never stops scanning for angles.
