Along the way, Qian'Er and Xue'Er told Miao Yi that Yao Ruoxian had been asking him if he had returned from the Boundless Nation.
As soon as he made his report, Yao Ruoxian didn't stop Miao Yi from entering this time. Instead, he took the initiative to flash out first. His eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Miao Yi's wrist with a look of urgency.
Miao Yi thought Yao Ruoxian was about to make a move, so he quickly moved to block the attack. Instead, he grabbed Yao Ruoxian's wrist and pressed it against his chest. "Old monster, I'm warning you. Don't get touchy. You're no match for me."
"..." Yao Ruoxian was so angry that he flipped his hands and took out a pair of bar maces. He pointed them at Miao Yi's nose and shouted, "Brat, I'm not your match? Say that again, and I'll smash your head in. "
"Father!" Qian'Er and Xue'Er immediately ran over to persuade him.
"Out of the way! This brat is overturning the heavens. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll think that I'm a pushover! "He pointed his mace at Miao Yi and said," Brat, take out your weapon and fight me! "
"The two of you, stand down!" Miao Yi waved his hand at Qian'Er and Xue'Er, then grabbed the Qilin Spear out of thin air.
"My Lord!" The two girls were anxious. They didn't want to see who would win or lose.
"I'm fine!" Miao Yi smiled, then gestured for the two of them to leave.
The two girls retreated helplessly.
Without saying another word, Yao Ruoxian dodged and smashed his mace down. However, a dragon's roar resounded through the air, and Yao Ruoxian suddenly froze in midair. His expression twitched, and his eyes slowly looked downwards. All he felt was a piercing cold pain on his neck, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Miao Yi didn't move from his original position, but the sharp tip of the spear was already pressed against Yao Ruoxian's neck. If Yao Ruoxian dared to take even half a step back, his blood would be splattered everywhere.
Yao Ruoxian bared his teeth. Blowing his beard, he glared at Jiang Yi and said, "I know that your spear art is incredible … You're just using the transcendent artifact that this old man refined for you. What kind of ability do you have against this old man?!"
Whoosh! Miao Yi sheathed his spear. With a flip of his hand, he stored the Qilin Spear back into his storage ring.
"Take it easy!" Yao Ruoxian suddenly took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He was extremely despicable and shameless.
At close range, Miao Yi wasn't afraid of him in terms of reaction speed. He quickly dodged to the side and jabbed out with two fingers, the tips of his fingers rippling with invisible flames. He immediately pierced through Yao Ruoxian's transcendence energy defense, then tapped on Yao Ruoxian's arm before withdrawing it. Miao Yi seized the opportunity to dodge.
"Hiss …" Yao Ruoxian sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly dodged as well. He shook the arm that had a hole in his clothes. When he twisted his arm to take a look, he found that the skin on his arm had been charred.
But that wasn't important. He discovered that there was an indescribable force entering his body, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried. His entire arm felt like it was being roasted in a furnace, and the invading magic power was breaking through his magic power suppression and spreading to other parts of his body, causing his entire arm to tremble uncontrollably.
"This old man will fight you to the death!" Yao Ruoxian yelled as he charged over. His reaction speed was already a lot slower.
Miao Yi easily flashed behind him, and pressed down on his shoulder. Yao Ruoxian's cultivation was clearly higher than his, but he was still pressed down so hard that he couldn't move. It couldn't be helped. He was being attacked from both inside and outside.
Miao Yi sighed, "Old monster, stop fighting. You aren't my match. There aren't many people below the Purple Lotus level who can be my match. This time, I went to the Boundless Nation and slaughtered Yao Sage Ji Huan's grandson. Don't tell me your cultivation art is stronger than Yao Sage's Art of Ten Thousand Demons? "
Yao Ruoxian was completely speechless. Qian'Er and Xue'Er also looked at Miao Yi in shock.
Miao Yi didn't dare to let the Fiery Star Technique transcendence energy stay in Yao Ruoxian's body for too long. Otherwise, he would definitely severely injure Yao Ruoxian. He was already aware of how overbearing his Fiery Star Technique was. Taking advantage of the opportunity when he pressed down on Yao Ruoxian's shoulder, he quickly invoked his arts and sucked the transcendence energy out of Yao Ruoxian's body.
As soon as the overbearing transcendence energy was expelled from his body, Yao Ruoxian was instantly sweating profusely. Even his clothes were drenched. He let out a long sigh, as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He turned to look at Miao Yi with a complicated expression.
He couldn't win. He really couldn't win! As soon as they exchanged blows, he knew that he didn't have the power to retaliate at all! The scene of him meeting Miao Yi for the first time in the Sea of Constellations surfaced in Yao Ruoxian's mind. The image faded away in his mind …
He sheathed his twin maces and scoffed. He quickly took out an immortal fruit and sucked in a few mouthfuls of starlight. Only then did he manage to soothe the burning pain on his arm. He had no choice. His body was already injured.
Miao Yi chuckled. In order not to embarrass the other party, he said, "Old monster, I brought some good stuff from the Boundless Nation's Exquisite Refinement Sect. Let's see if you can recognize what it is."
"What is it?" The moment he heard it was the Exquisite Refinement Sect, Yao Ruoxian immediately tossed his earlier unhappiness to the back of his mind. He followed behind Miao Yi and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er quickly went to fetch tea. They poured a cup each and placed it in front of the two of them. They then stood on either side of Miao Yi.
"Why are you drinking tea?!" Yao Ruoxian tossed the teacup to the side and impatiently asked Miao Yi, "Where are the things the Exquisite Refinement Sect brought? Hurry up and take a look."
However, Miao Yi stared at him and asked, "Old monster, it's only been a few days since we last met. Why do I feel like you've become so haggard?" He turned to Qian'Er and Xue'Er and angrily shouted, "How did you two take care of your adoptive father?"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er immediately bowed and said, "We were wrong."
Yao Ruoxian's teeth twitched in pain. He waved his hand and said, "It's not their fault. I have good food and drink. I don't lack anything. They've been very filial to me. I'm the one who didn't rest well. Let's not get sidetracked. Where are the things?! "
Miao Yi casually took out five crystals from his storage ring and arranged them in a row on the table. One wouldn't be able to tell much from looking at them individually. However, when placed together, he could immediately tell the minute differences between them. Some had a faint green glow on the inside, some had a faint red glow on the inside, some had a faint white glow on the inside, some had a faint yellow glow on the inside, and some had a faint black glow on the inside.
The temperature in the pavilion plummeted. Yao Ruoxian immediately found the source of the drop in temperature and pulled out one of the five crystals. "Ice Soul! These are … the Supreme Fire Crystal, Supreme Earth Crystal, Supreme Metal Crystal, and Supreme Wood Crystal. I've gathered all five Supreme Crystals. "
They were good items, but these few didn't seem like much to him. Yao Ruoxian couldn't help but ask, "You're not embarrassed to show off with just these?"
Miao Yi was just testing Yao Ruoxian's judgment. He realized that they were indeed extraordinary. He could recognize all of them with just a glance. He smiled and said, "Do you know where these came from? They were taken out from the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Linglong Treasure Pagoda during this Treasure Appraisal Convention. "
"The Exquisite Refinement Sect's Linglong Treasure Pagoda?" Yao Ruoxian was so anxious that he scratched his head. "Hurry up and tell me what this Linglong Treasure Pagoda looks like."
"It's a seven-floored pagoda …" Miao Yi quickly explained everything he saw inside the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. He wanted to know more about this Linglong Treasure Pagoda as well.
Yao Ruoxian listened with a pensive look on his face. He would ask for more details from time to time.
Meanwhile, Qian'Er and Xue'Er were terrified as they listened. They didn't expect their master to go through such a dangerous situation again. Moreover, Miao Yi didn't tell them about the battle of wits and courage with Lie Huan later on. There was no need for Miao Yi to tell them about something like this, as it would only worry the people around him.
After he finished, Miao Yi asked, "Old monster, what do you think of this artifact?"
Yao Ruoxian didn't speak for a long time. His expression was one of sorrow. After a long while, he sighed and said, "What a great artifact! It's practically an impeccable artifact! Long ago, I heard that the upper echelons of the Exquisite Refinement Sect had been working together to refine a transcendent artifact. So it was to refine this thing. It took them ten thousand years to do so! "
Miao Yi asked, "I've always been curious about something. The space inside is only so big. Why can't I fly out?"
"The reason is simple. You're flying inside, and the pagoda is rotating on the outside. The space inside is constantly circulating. It would be a miracle if you could fly out. If the pagoda rotates faster, you'll be stuck in the same spot forever. "
Miao Yi suddenly realized how simple it was to break the artifact with a single point.
"It was pure luck that you were able to break the artifact. Otherwise, even the Six Sages wouldn't be able to do anything to it!"
"Luck?" Miao Yi asked, "I've already found the flaw and broke it. How can you say it was luck?"
"How can that be considered as finding the flaw!?" Yao Ruoxian arranged the five crystals on the table into a circle, then pointed at them and said, "This artifact contains a Five Elements Array. It grows and multiplies endlessly, forming a world of its own. It's difficult to activate, but it doesn't take much effort to control it. With just a little nudge, the inside will automatically circulate. Unless you can break the cycle of the Five Elements, or use a great art to forcefully break open that world, the person trapped inside won't be able to escape at all. It will continue to wear you down until you die! It's not something you can just casually dig a hole out of. Judging from what happened to you inside the pagoda, the true might of this artifact must not have been unleashed yet. The power of the Five Elements Array that grows and multiplies endlessly can't possibly be this weak. It's obvious that the other party didn't intend to kill you, which is why they didn't activate their killer move. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to dig a hole in the ground with just the Earth Element Array inside. Even if you dug a thousand holes, the terrain would change and the hole would instantly be filled up. Trying to dig your way out of the ground would be a pipe dream. You can say that the Exquisite Refinement Sect made a mistake by taking you and Lie Huan inside. Otherwise, most people wouldn't have been able to dig that hole out of the ground. With such a deep hole, the problem of water seeping through would already be unsolvable. You can say that the five elements are mutually exclusive, and the two of you who practice Five Elements Arts just happened to poke a hole in it. The only reason you and Lie Huan were able to break through this Exquisite Refinement Pagoda is because of your good luck, and the Exquisite Refinement Sect's bad luck. Haha. If the Exquisite Refinement Sect were to find out that the Exquisite Refinement Pagoda was broken through by you two using such a stupid method, I'm afraid they would vomit blood in anger! "
An expert was indeed an expert. After hearing Yao Ruoxian's words, Miao Yi thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He couldn't help but admit that the Exquisite Refinement Pagoda was truly too powerful! He couldn't help but ask, "Old monster. Since this transcendent artifact is so powerful, can you refine it?"
A faint smile appeared on Yao Ruoxian's face. "Once this Exquisite Refinement Pagoda appears, I'm afraid there won't be a second transcendent artifact in the cultivation realm that can compete with it. It has already surpassed the common sense of a normal transcendent artifact. Just the amount of refining materials used to refine it is already so massive that it would make one flinch. I'm afraid I will never be able to surpass it!"
