Especially when they heard the five beauties call Shen Wang "husband," many men were extremely envious and jealous.

Some people wanted to pick a fight, but they suffered losses before getting close, not disturbing the family's fun.

Shen Wang let the children eat, drink, and play, spending only the usual gold and silver, which wasn't much at all.

When they'd had enough fun, Shen Wang finally led everyone away.

Except for Shen Chuxue, the little ones had all fallen asleep, while Lixia and Jingzhe wore smiles of happiness on their faces.

The five women were also very happy; it had been a long time since they had strolled around town.

"Our family's pressure is much less now. I'll take you out often in the future."

Shen Wang promised.

"Husband, you don't need to specially take care of us. We're all cultivators; there's no need to cling too much to worldly affairs."

Zheng Yunshu shook her head.

"Yes, husband, just let the children experience it," Paper Kite laughed.

"Cultivation requires a balance between work and rest, relax when needed."

Shen Wang said, "Earlier, I—your husband—provoked enemies, and we had to hide. Now, it's just normal life."

Looking into the distance, he said, "We will soon enter the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range. You can catch the wind for a while or rest inside."

After talking much with the five ladies, upon entering the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range, Shen Wang acted alone again.

He wasn't very familiar with the roads, so he chose to return the same way, proceeding low-key through the forest.

Successfully returning near the cave mansion, Shen Wang activated the Flowing Light Mark, opening the Gate of Space, re-entering the cave mansion.

Inside the cave mansion, in front of a side hall called Cyan Profound, Shen Wang appeared out of nowhere.

Molan was the first to notice, and upon coming out and seeing Shen Wang, she smiled, "Husband seems very successful."

"Yes, I have brought back your other sisters."

Shen Wang nodded; this time he did not provoke powerful figures, acted low-key without encountering any unexpected events.

Molan showed a hint of nervousness because those Shen Wang brought over this time, were all those who joined much earlier than her.

Upon hearing the sound, the eight women came out one after another, standing together to welcome the other sisters.

After Shen Wang closed the Gate of Space, he opened the Spiritual Artifact Space and said, "Come out now, we've arrived at the new home."

From the black-and-white portal, Zheng Yunshu and others curiously walked out, not surprised at seeing the Nine Women outside.

Shen Wang had mentioned the existence of these Nine Women in advance; among them, the eight women were unwillingly accepted by Shen Wang, much like Molan.

"Welcome, five sisters."

With the highest cultivation, Molan, although the last to join, led the eight women, smiling to welcome Zheng Yunshu and her group.

Women have a unique way of communicating; they said a few words upon meeting and started chatting together, leaving Shen Wang uninterested, taking the children to play on the side.

After playing with the kids for a long time, it became boring, so Shen Wang took out the food bought in Baixi City and started cooking.

There was no kitchen in the main hall, so Shen Wang had to create a place for cooking, making a large table full of dishes.

Now, the family was quite large, with fourteen women, five children, excepting three infants, making a lively and cozy scene with eighteen seated.

After eating and drinking to satisfaction, Shen Wang let Zheng Yunshu's five women and the eight women discuss childbirth, start cultivating, and continue their peaceful life.

The next day, he took out the damaged Spiritual Artifacts taken from the Demon Cave seal.

These Spiritual Artifacts were cracked, showing many gaps, with the better ones still maintaining their shapes, while those with worse status had only half remaining.

Shen Wang pieced the fragments together, and the four magical treasures emitted different glows; the residual mighty power was still strong.

The four Spiritual Artifacts consisted of a Three-legged Two-eared Purple Gold Furnace missing a leg, with red runes on it.

The second was a blue-golden Trident, broken into two halves, but the emitted glow was like ripples, with remarkable remaining power.

The white long sword, rusted and only having slight gaps, made Shen Wang suspect it was originally a relatively bad Spiritual Artifact used on the array.

The yellowish-brown Great Seal was the most complete, likely best matching the nearby attribute, with abundant strength, missing just one corner.

Noting these Spiritual Artifacts contained fire, water, gold, and earth attributes, Shen Wang pondered.

"Four attributes; judging by the array's appearance, it probably used the Power of the Five Elements to seal a spatial rift, so could there be another attribute's Spiritual Artifact?"

Shen Wang frowned: "Didn't see a wood attribute Spiritual Artifact; maybe it was taken early, perhaps by Yun Lingshu and others?"

Without thinking much, Shen Wang felt it was already nice to obtain four Spiritual Artifacts, even broken ones; slightly repairing them could make them comparable to top-grade magical treasures, enough to make Nascent Soul Great Cultivators envious.

"The remaining power of these Spiritual Artifacts is still strong; trying to refine them anew is quite time-consuming, so it's best to repair a bit and use them. The main body of the Lifebound Treasure is better suited by seeking new materials."

Shen Wang realized he'd underestimated the power of the Spiritual Artifacts; even a dead camel is bigger than a horse, these artifacts appeared ragged, but remelting them into raw materials was quite difficult.

He gathered a mass of fire to try melting them, found it impossible, and had to embarrassingly stop.

His current strength was still insufficient to melt the Spiritual Artifacts, and he shouldn't think about remaking them.

Precisely speaking, wanting to remake formed magical treasures would be harder than creating a new one from raw materials.

After all, formed magical treasures have already combined various materials; trying to reduce mixed materials to single materials not only proves difficult, but also time-consuming, labor-intensive, and tests skill.

His current artifact refining skills weren't particularly great, so he decided not to trouble himself.

"Better to first refine the Lifebound Treasure; these Spiritual Artifacts can be used as they are."

Shen Wang simply refined the Spiritual Artifacts to familiarize them enough for use.

Then he took out various materials, set up an Artifact Refining Array, and began formal refining.

He secluded himself, activated the Artifact Refining Array, and immediately fire attribute powers gathered, turning into blazing flames.

He melted various materials, controlled their fusion with thoughts, spending three days in initial refining to form a tower.

Due to integrating various materials, the crafted tower displayed multiple colors and was temporarily divided into five layers. Once formed, Shen Wang increasingly found it ugly.

"No, this thing is too ordinary."

Shen Wang looked displeasedly at the tower body, according to his idea, his Lifebound Treasure should accommodate various attributes, unlike this mix.

"It can only serve as a regular magical treasure; can't be my Lifebound Treasure."

Shen Wang shook his head; his strength would increase relatively quickly, and if the refined Lifebound Treasure was too mediocre, it wouldn't keep pace with his speed of improvement.

"These ordinary materials aren't quite suitable; they don't reach the needed grade—materials capable of refining Spiritual Artifacts would be best, yet there are practically none now."

Shen Wang frowned; materials for refining Spiritual Artifacts now only included Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood, but this could only refine wood attribute magical treasures, unable to realize his desired multi-attribute Lifebound Treasure.

Frustrated, he engraved runes and arrays, added different attribute arrays onto it, finishing this unsatisfying magical treasure, spending another three days.

As the magical treasure formed, the tower emitted colorful glow with runes flickering, the power roughly equivalent to a top-grade magical treasure.

This owed to his use of good materials, coupled with a high level of array skills, hence refining it.

"Still no, this isn't the Lifebound Treasure I want."

Shen Wang remained dissatisfied, reflecting on the refining process.

Firstly, materials weren't suitable, such as those incapable of bearing various formidable magical treasures; currently not even accommodating several broken Spiritual Artifacts.

Secondly, these materials' attributes couldn't perfectly match his ideas; despite temporarily merging attribute materials under the rule of relationship among the Five Elements, only five elements could merge, not various attributes.

"What materials would be suitable?"

Shen Wang touched his chin, pondering.

Suddenly, the Flowing Light Mark in his mind moved, and Danqing's voice appeared: "Shen Wang, come out for a moment."

Shen Wang laid down the newly refined magical treasure, and upon going out, the surrounding space changed, transporting him to an independent space.

Danqing stood opposite and said, "Some unforeseen changes occurred outside; you must quickly refine this cave mansion, otherwise it will cause trouble."

He raised his hand and the surrounding scene shifted, revealing several figures outside.

Clearly just images, Shen Wang felt a huge oppressive force; this pressure wasn't typical of Nascent Soul Cultivators, but belonged to a more powerful existence.

His pupils shrank, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
