On returning to the Cave Mansion, Dong Tianyu's first choice was to upgrade. Besides the expanded interior space, the upgraded Cave Mansion could only earn an extra survival point per day. Other changes were not significant.

Upgrading the Cave Mansion was not like in video games, where new things would be awarded with each upgrade.

Dong Tianyu felt that his Cave Mansion primarily emphasized self-sufficiency. Post upgrade, would gain some new constructions, but building these things would still cost a significant amount of survival points.

Although consuming relevant supplies could reduce the survival points spent on building new constructions, there was a minimum standard of survival points for each new construction and upgrade.

For Dong Tianyu, who has scarcely more than a thousand survival points, it was impossible to construct those seemingly versatile buildings.

For now, the Cave Mansion mostly guides Dong Tianyu towards development towards the mystical side, but it is currently still dependent on technological products.

From the time Dong Tianyu left the Refuge Center to when he returned, half a month had passed, and during those ten or so days Dong Tianyu had not cultivated at all.

Alas, the Hall of Longevity's automatic cultivation times refreshed daily and could not be accumulated, which Dong Tianyu found regrettable.

Thanks to the assistance of automatic machinery, his chicken ranch had not encountered any problems besides a few eggs possibly having spoiled from sitting at room temperature for over ten days.

As for the accumulated small chicken eggs during this time, Dong Tianyu did not waste them, but boiled them and pickled them to cover any possible smell, keeping them for future trades with others.

Dong Tianyu's absence did not notably change the Plantation Area. After all, the vegetables he had planted all had growth periods exceeding a month, so his leaving for over ten days did not have much impact.

After a detailed inspection of the Cave Mansion, Dong Tianyu discovered that other than the increase in interior space, the Cave Mansion upgrade had come with other changes.

There were finally some Spiritual Materials in the earth vein. When the Cave Mansion absorbed items, it would directly decompose this item, and it did so at the atomic level.

For example, decomposing something made of steel would yield iron atoms and other atoms.

After decomposing these atoms, they would directly appear in their corresponding places.

For instance, iron atoms would gather in the mine and form iron ores, and after forming into iron ores, they would continue combining, increasing the purity of the iron ores.

When the purity in an iron ore exceeds a certain proportion, the iron ore becomes pure iron. But becoming pure iron is not the limit of these iron ores. If the number of decomposed steel items absorbed by the Cave Mansion is too high, this pure iron will then sublime into Mysterious Iron. Mysterious Iron is not an ordinary material, but a Spiritual Material.

This time, due to Dong Tianyu absorbing too many metal items, the Mysterious Iron, which under normal circumstances would only appear after the next Cave Mansion upgrade, was born prematurely. Although it is only the size of a fist now, once Mysterious Iron appears, it will show up annually in the mine outputs of the earth vein.

Besides Mysterious Iron, common Spiritual Material mines also include Copper Mother, Mithril, and Aurum.

After deeply understanding the upgraded Cave Mansion, Dong Tianyu first conducted an automatic cultivation session, then hurriedly left the Cave Mansion.

After all, half of Pengville Port still hadn't been cleaned up. Dong Tianyu, being a principled man, could not abandon a task halfway and had to see it through.

The remaining containers didn't disappoint Dong Tianyu; many containers, to prevent collisions, were filled with various paper products.

After tidying up all the containers in the storage area, Dong Tianyu would at least not have to worry about paper for the next few years.

Having once again flipped the space eight-fold, Dong Tianyu had more room to store items. In the past, whenever he came across a hardly necessary item, Dong Tianyu would directly decompose it. Now with plenty of storage space, he could keep those things, in case they prove useful in the future.

This trip not only resulted in a spotlessly clean storage area, but all the cargo containers and even the cranes used for fishing out cargo containers were decomposed by Dong Tianyu.

Dong Tianyu finally realized that having ample space allowed him to do as he pleased.

After cleaning the storage area as clean as a whistle, Dong Tianyu then targeted the vessels he had left behind last time.

Once he was done with all these, Dong Tianyu hurried back to the Cave Mansion without wasting any time on the road. After all, having already wasted so many cultivation opportunities, he didn't want to waste the remaining automatic cultivation quotas of the day.

Actually, when he had just upgraded the Cave Mansion, Dong Tianyu had tried upgrading the Hall of Longevity.

After all, the level of this place was related to the number of daily automatic cultivation opportunities. Regrettably, after testing, even by using other materials to reduce the consumption of survival points, upgrading the Hall of Longevity would require at least 10,000 survival points.

Setting aside his unhappy thoughts, Dong Tianyu jumped from the harbor onto the ice surface, released his puppet car, arrived next to the only three remaining boats in the canal, and directly absorbed them into the Cave Mansion.

Actually, there was not much of an issue with the small boats as they had already been tested.

The crucial point was the thousand-tonnage vessel. Even though the actual situation of that ship was unclear, having the other boats for comparison showed that this ship could carry loads up to three thousand tons.

Only after upgrading the Cave Mansion did Dong Tianyu have a chance to house it inside.
