After the reefs within five to six li of the sea exploded one after another, Charcoal turned around and hurriedly galloped back to where he stood.
Just as he was about to return to his original spot, Charcoal suddenly leaped into the air. With the support of the transcendent artifact, not only was his speed faster, his jumping ability was even more astonishing. He leaped more than two hundred meters, landing diagonally on the ground.
'Boom! '
The ground shook, and the powerful impact sent sand and pebbles flying.
Yao Ruoxian flicked his sleeves, sweeping away the flying sand and pebbles.
"Neigh... neigh..."
Amidst the dissipating dust, Charcoal anxiously circled around, his four hooves stamping wildly. He was in an abnormally excited state, as though he was very excited by his powerful destructive power.
Miao Yi, clad in armor and holding the Inversed-Scales Spear, sat on his horse, looking at Yao Ruoxian with a cheerful expression. He was obviously very satisfied with the armor Yao Ruoxian had refined for Charcoal.
The sight of a man and steed in full armor before him was truly intimidating. Even Yao Ruoxian himself was stunned. He had clearly only refined two sets of first grade transcendent artifacts, but why did he feel that they were more beautiful than any transcendent artifact he had refined before?
Yao Ruoxian was a little depressed. He was probably the only one in the entire cultivation realm who had equipped a dragon steed with armor from head to toe. After all, dragon steeds were very common in the cultivation realm, and not some high-grade mount. No one would be so wasteful as to refine transcendent artifacts blindly.
At first, he didn't treat it as his own. After all, it belonged to this kid. He wouldn't feel bad if he wasted it. He could use it to practice and put some of his ideas into practice, so that he could refine higher grade transcendent artifacts in the future.
For example, the idea of refining the Inversed-Scales Spear wasn't a mature experience. He was only experimenting with the ideas he had imagined. Otherwise, he couldn't bear to use high-grade materials for experiments. If he failed, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
To put it bluntly, he was just using Miao Yi's items to experiment on. If he failed, the kid wouldn't be able to do anything to him. After all, he was still receiving a large sum of money, so he wouldn't be at a disadvantage either way.
Who would have thought! He had unintentionally planted a willow tree, but in the end, he had created a domineering set of armor before his eyes.
Yao Ruoxian muttered to himself. If these two sets of transcendent artifacts were to be sold separately, they wouldn't be worth much. However, if they were sold as a set, the descendants of those powerful families with low cultivation would definitely take a liking to them. They would also be able to use them. He reckoned that they would be worth quite a lot of money, right? Did I let this kid take advantage of me?
"What do you think? Are you satisfied with the transcendent artifact I refined? "Yao Ruoxian asked with a snort.
Miao Yi feigned helplessness and said, "The items are not bad, but there is a flaw. There are a total of eighteen transcendent artifacts in the two sets. If I were to use them all at once, I won't be able to handle it with my current cultivation. I'm afraid I won't be able to use them for a long period of time. Furthermore, the cost of replenishing the energy of these eighteen transcendent artifacts is not a small sum either. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it when the time comes."
Yao Ruoxian immediately sneered, "You think it's not good enough?"
Miao Yi knew he wasn't going to say anything nice next, so he coughed dryly and said, "I'll just have to make do with it. After all, I've spent so much money on it."
"Cut the crap. I've fulfilled my promise. Now it's your turn to help me get the eggs." Yao Ruoxian pointed at the two sets of armor, and threatened him without any trace of politeness, "If you can't fulfill your promise, don't say that you can't take these two sets of armor with you. Be careful that you won't be able to keep your life!"
Miao Yi had no choice but to comply, so he naturally nodded his head in agreement. He jumped off his mount and collected the two sets of transcendent artifacts...
It was night, and the curtain of night was hanging low. The starry sky was vast, and a crescent moon was suspended in the sky.
Outside the Boundless Secular World, Miao Yi held a mirror in his hand, and reflected the moonlight into the treacherous blood mist.
Yao Ruoxian stood to the side with a face full of anticipation. His eyes would occasionally glance at the crescent moon in the sky, then at the mirror in Miao Yi's hand, and then at the blood mist to see if there were any movements.
"Kid, is this really okay?" Yao Ruoxian asked in a low voice from the side.
"Senior Yao, remember this later. When the Hell Mantis comes out, don't be afraid. It won't be able to stay outside the Boundless Secular World for too long. The eggs are right under its abdomen. You have to retrieve the eggs as soon as possible. Remember, don't be too greedy. Otherwise, you'll anger it. When that happens, none of us will be able to escape … "
"Mm … Mm … Mm … Alright, alright. I'll remember it. Alright …"
Miao Yi carefully explained everything that Lao Bai had taught him.
On the other hand, Yao Ruoxian was as obedient as a turtle, nodding his head in agreement no matter what Miao Yi said. Ever since the two of them met, this was the first time he was so docile towards Miao Yi.
It couldn't be helped, he knew the advantages of using the tiny mantids well. Just think about it, if this stinky brat didn't have the help of the tiny mantids, how could a mere White Lotus Third Grade cultivator defeat seventy-two Fort Masters and obtain so many items?
Yao Ruoxian knew full well that once something like the tiny mantids fell into his hands, the benefits would be even greater. This was because he would be able to come into contact with people of a higher level. When the time came, he might even be able to make a move on a Purple Lotus cultivator. One could only imagine what he would obtain.
"Remember, after the Hell Mantis comes out, I will use the moonlight to stabilize it so it won't move around. You must be fast when retrieving the eggs."
"Alright. Uh …" Yao Ruoxian suddenly felt that something was amiss. With a face full of suspicion, he asked, "Brat, you aren't going to use this opportunity to kill me with a borrowed knife, are you?"
The so-called killing with a borrowed knife was naturally because he was afraid that Miao Yi would use the Hell Mantis to finish him off.
"How could I? Would I dare to mess around in front of the Hell Mantis?"
But Yao Ruoxian still felt that Miao Yi was completely capable of doing so, because this brat was definitely not a gentleman. He wouldn't be honest unless he was given a beating.
"No, I'm still worried. How about this, you go and retrieve the eggs. I will use the mirror to stabilize it. You teach me how to do it. "
No matter how Miao Yi explained, it wouldn't work. Moreover, the more he explained, the more the sloppy old man suspected that he was up to no good.
In the end, there was no other way. The two of them could only switch positions. It was Yao Ruoxian who held the mirror, while Miao Yi wandered to the side with his hands behind his back, waiting for any sign of movement from within the blood mist.
In the end, the two of them waited until the moon gradually disappeared, and the sky gradually brightened. A night had passed, yet there was no sign of movement from within the Boundless Secular World.
'Clang!'
Yao Ruoxian looked at the color of the sky and threw the mirror away. He finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He glared at Miao Yi and approached him step by step. "Brat, you dare to trick me?"
Miao Yi, who was retreating step by step, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I really didn't lie to you. Senior Yao, don't act recklessly. Oh right …" He suddenly slapped his thigh, "I know where the problem is! The night of the full moon. It has to be on the night of the full moon. The crescent moon from last night might not have any effect! "
Yao Ruoxian stopped in his tracks, and fiercely said, "I'll trust you one more time. If it doesn't work, then bear the consequences yourself!"
For the next few days, the two of them took a break. They found a place to sit cross-legged and cultivate, waiting for the night of the full moon.
When the night of the full moon truly arrived, and the bright moon shone brightly in the sky, Miao Yi's heart felt weak.
Yao Ruoxian held the mirror and reflected the moonlight into the Boundless Secular World. From time to time, he would glance at Miao Yi with a strong sense of warning, as if he could explode at any time.
Miao Yi's heart was crying out in bitterness!
