Outside the door, under the eaves, Charcoal was napping on the ground, wagging his tail, when he was kicked up again. When he saw that it was Miao Yi, he immediately lost his temper.
Miao Yi leapt onto the back of the horse, then beckoned to the two girls. The two of them smiled brightly, then gracefully got up and sat behind him.
Charcoal leapt up and landed outside the courtyard, his four hooves galloping into the forest.
The sight of a man and two women riding together drew the envy of all the handmaidens who passed by Mount Calming Sea. They envied Elder Auntie and Little Auntie. In Mount Calming Sea, only the Mountain Chieftain would dare to ride a horse in such an offensive manner.
Originally, people should only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. However, people's hearts were not enough. How could they be blinded by greed? How could they be troubled by gratitude and grudges?
After traversing through the mountains and ravines, they finally arrived outside Yao Ruoxian's cave. The three of them jumped down.
The two girls ran into the cave together. It could be seen that the two of them were already familiar with this place, as though it was their own home, and they could come and go as they pleased.
Yao Ruoxian didn't go underground to refine anything today. He was sitting cross-legged on the stone couch in the cave, cultivating. The moment the two girls entered, they happily called out "Father". Yao Ruoxian opened his eyes and immediately chuckled. He looked at the two girls with a gaze full of love.
When he saw Miao Yi walking in from behind, he immediately snorted coldly, his smile gone.
"Senior Yao, I heard that my armor has been refined?" Miao Yi walked over and cupped his fists.
Yao Ruoxian waved his hand and tossed something over. Miao Yi raised his hand to catch it, and realized it was actually a storage bracelet. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "For me?"
"This was refined using the leftover Crystalline Obsidian. It's inside the storage bracelet." The two of them had never been on good terms, so Yao Ruoxian couldn't be bothered to waste his breath.
Since it was refined using his own belongings, there was no need for him to be polite. Miao Yi immediately put the storage bangle on his wrist. The size was perfect.
Miao Yi imbued his transcendence energy into the bracelet to examine it, and his face immediately lit up with joy. The storage space of this storage bracelet was almost fifty times that of a normal storage ring. With this item, he could save himself a lot of trouble. At least he wouldn't have to wear so many storage rings on his fingers.
Miao Yi was no longer the greenhorn he used to be. He more or less had some understanding of refining artifacts.
Don't underestimate it just because it was a storage bracelet.
Although things like storage rings were not good magic treasures, they were still very valuable. However, it was not something an ordinary Artifact Refiner could refine. It was said that it required a considerable understanding of space. Being able to refine a storage ring was a watershed for an Artifact Refiner, and being able to refine a storage bracelet with a larger space represented a higher level of skill.
Miao Yi was secretly amazed. He found that this old fellow really had some skills. Not only could he refine this kind of thing, he had never seen this old fellow fail in refining anything before.
At first, he didn't know. Later on, he heard that refining treasures didn't have a hundred percent success rate. Artifact refiners with poor skills could easily fail. Oftentimes, the Transcendent Artifacts would not be successfully refined, and the Yao Cores would be destroyed one after another. However, in Yao Ruoxian's hands, there had never been such a thing as a failure in refining an Transcendent Artifact.
Inside the empty storage bangle lay two sets of battle armor. Miao Yi immediately summoned them and held them in his hands. After letting the transcendent artifacts recognize him as their master, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
Yao Ruoxian, who had an unpleasant expression on his face, also walked out with the two girls to see what was going on.
Miao Yi called Charcoal over. With both hands, he tossed the battle armor in his hands and tapped it with his finger. The battle armor exploded into a black mist in the air, pouncing towards Charcoal and himself.
The black mist that enveloped Miao Yi abruptly retracted, and a pitch-black battle armor as black as ink instantly covered Miao Yi's body.
Just like the ones he had refined for Qian 'Er and Xue' Er, the battle armor was a complete set. From the helmet to the boots on his feet, it was a seamless whole. The biggest difference was that there was an additional sword at his waist.
Looking at the battle armor on his body, Miao Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even though this kind of battle armor was a little novel and could better protect himself from being exposed, it still looked a little crude. It was nowhere near as exquisite and beautiful as Qian 'Er and Xue' Er's battle armor. To put it bluntly, it gave off the feeling that it was crudely made.
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er were also a little disappointed. Compared to their battle armor, the quality was too low. Qian 'Er furrowed her brows. "Father, did you refine this? It doesn't look good at all. "She was implying that he didn't put in any effort to refine it.
Yao Ruoxian shook his head and said, "Silly girl. What do you know? What's the point of looking good? He's going to the Sea of Constellations. Are you afraid that he won't be eye-catching enough? Why did you have to refine a battle armor that will attract people to chase after him? I purposely refined it to look a little crude. "
Fine! Miao Yi also deeply agreed with this reason and could accept it. However … Miao Yi was on the verge of tears as he spread his limbs. "It seems a little small. It doesn't fit!"
"Ah!" Qian 'Er and Xue' Er were shocked. What was the point of wearing something that didn't fit?
"What's the fuss about?" Yao Ruoxian pointed at Miao Yi and said, "This battle armor has some changes. There's a certain amount of room for expansion and contraction. Try invoking your arts to adjust it."
Hearing this, Miao Yi invoked his arts, and the battle armor on his body immediately glowed with a green light. With a flash of green light, everyone could see that the battle armor really did stretch a little. Miao Yi revealed a joyful expression and nodded his head. The green light on his body faded as he clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "This is useful."
"It's good that it's useful. It will give you more adaptability. When you go to the Sea of Constellations, you might be able to hold on a little longer before you die …" Before he could finish, he saw his two daughters looking at him with resentful gazes. Yao Ruoxian rolled his eyes and corrected himself, "It's useful for you, but it's also useful for others. If this thing falls into someone else's hands, they can use it immediately."
He waved his hand and pointed at Charcoal. "The battle armor on the fat thief's body also has a certain amount of room for expansion and contraction."
After saying this, he let out a deep sigh and looked at Charcoal with a hint of reluctance.
He actually didn't want Charcoal to follow Miao Yi to the Sea of Constellations, but he knew that Charcoal's leg strength might be the key to Miao Yi's survival.
What did it mean to give Charcoal a certain amount of room for expansion and contraction? It meant that in order to give Miao Yi more adaptability, Yao Ruoxian had already prepared for Charcoal to die in battle. Once Charcoal died, Miao Yi could still use the battle armor on Charcoal's body on other dragon steeds.
Miao Yi nodded to show that he understood. Actually, he couldn't see any difference between the battle armor on Charcoal's body and the one he was wearing before. The only difference was the color. Looking at it this way, it seemed to look better than the one he was wearing.
He turned around and carefully examined the battle armor on his body. Suddenly, he raised his head in surprise and asked, "This battle armor is double-layered?"
Yao Ruoxian shook his head and said, "I can't say that it's double-layered. Take a closer look."
Miao Yi examined it again. Indeed, it wasn't double-layered. The inner and outer layers were densely packed with netting objects. If he wasn't careful, he would've thought it was some kind of padding. Only after taking a closer look did he realize that it was actually refined from Crystalline Obsidian and was one with the battle armor.
After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "How did it end up like this?"
"Other than the defensive capabilities of an ordinary Second Grade Transcendent Artifact, when attacked, the middle layer of this battle armor can neutralize about thirty percent of the attack's power. It's the same for the one the fat thief is wearing." Yao Ruoxian explained in a seemingly casual manner.
In reality, Yao Ruoxian had spent a lot of time and energy to create another layer of this kind of thing on such a thick armor. This wasn't something that could be done just by creating a simple isolation layer. This was also the reason why it took so many years to refine this battle armor.
"Thirty percent?" Miao Yi was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. He cupped his fists and thanked him profusely.
He then turned around and pulled out the sword from the hollowed-out web-like scabbard at his waist. It was completely black in color and had an ordinary appearance. However, it was also a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact.
"Go!" Miao Yi scanned his surroundings, then suddenly threw it out. The treasured sword glowing with a blue light hadn't even flown two hundred meters when he felt that he was about to lose contact with his transcendence energy. Invoking his arts, he pointed his finger and the flying sword slashed down from the sky.
Boom! A piece of mountain rock was split apart. Miao Yi flicked his wrist and the flying sword flew back to him, returning to the scabbard at his waist.
Just this slash alone caused Miao Yi to take a deep breath and shake his head. Using the flying sword with his own cultivation would consume too much transcendence energy. It was fine to use it occasionally, but it would be too much for him to use it continuously. If it were Qian'Er and Xue'Er with their cultivation, they probably wouldn't even be able to use it.
With a wave of his hand, a jet-black Inversed-Scales Spear appeared in his hand from his storage bangle. Invoking his arts, he immediately noticed the difference from before.
Amidst the flickering blue light, the sharp triangular barbed spearhead. Swoosh! The triangular spear wings flipped together, and the barbed barbs flipped upwards. Soon, the triangular spear turned into a different spearhead.
Miao Yi was extremely fond of it. In truth, he had long realized that this barbed spearhead had its own advantages and disadvantages during his many battles.
The advantage was that the barbed barbs could increase the might of the spear. As long as the enemy was struck by the barbs, they would either die or be severely injured. This was especially true when facing a group attack. The spear could be brandished without restraint, and its destructive power was extremely high.
The disadvantage was that he wouldn't dare to go all out when facing someone with a higher cultivation. This was because the barbs on the spearhead could easily be jammed by the opponent's weapon. Once it was jammed, the opponent would most likely be able to send your weapon flying with a single thrust of the spear. If it weren't for his exceptional spear arts, he might have already encountered such a situation.
He was torn between loving and hating the pros and cons. It was a little difficult for him to make a decision. Now it was all right. He didn't expect Yao Ruoxian to be able to turn something rotten into something miraculous, and actually make such a transformation on the spearhead. Miao Yi felt a sense of excitement, as though he was a tiger that had grown wings.
He turned back to look at Charcoal, then lifted his spear and leapt onto his steed. He charged down the mountain, brandishing his spear and stabbing at the air in front of him.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Charcoal quickly turned around and charged back up the mountain. The spearhead of the Inversed-Scales Spear was constantly changing its shape as he thrust it in and out. Sometimes it was barbed, and sometimes it was a prism.
Even though there were no enemies, the unstoppable aura emanating from the spear in his hand made Yao Ruoxian shake his head and sigh to himself. If this set of Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts were refined by this brat, who knew how many people would die at his hands. This brat wasn't a kind soul. He wouldn't be merciful when it came to killing!
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other. Their Master's spear arts could send a chill down their spines. Every thrust of his spear carried the word 'kill'. Their spear arts lacked Miao Yi's domineering aura and killing intent!
Rushing back to the cave entrance, Miao Yi sheathed his spear and leapt off his steed. Clouds of black mist burst forth, and were quickly absorbed into the storage bangle on his wrist.
