Seeing the strange expression on Lin Xuankong's face, Xiao Xiuyi furrowed her brows and said, "It's not easy to gather the materials needed to refine forty-nine Initial Tier Immortal Swords! Even the most basic Immortal Artifacts require at least eighteen Demon Pearls, along with a large quantity of Geng Metal Crystals and Thick Earth Crystals. Back then, to refine your Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword and allow it to devour and grow, we probably exhausted all the Demon Pearls, Geng Metal Crystals, and Thick Earth Crystals the entire Great Xia Dynasty could muster. It took the strength of the whole nation just to produce that single Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword! To gather the materials for forty-nine Initial Tier Immortal Swords would likely require the accumulated resources of several Great Xia Dynasties over thousands of years!"

The materials needed for forty-nine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, not even counting the large quantities of Geng Metal Crystals and Thick Earth Crystals, would require nearly a thousand Demon Pearls alone. This is indeed several times more than what was needed for the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword, and far beyond the collection capabilities of a nation like the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, this is not the Great Xia Dynasty. We are now in a grand Immortal City under the jurisdiction of the Central Divine Dynasty, which governs countless dynasties! Especially recently, with the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect planning to hold a disciple recruitment ceremony, many prodigies from various dynasties have gathered here. According to Young Lady Li Xiaolan, many talented disciples from other Immortal Sects are also present. In such a prosperous Immortal City, with so many so-called dynasty prodigies, it shouldn't be difficult to purchase sufficient materials here! Because the resources controlled by these dynasty prodigies and Immortal Sect disciples can probably match the accumulated wealth of hundreds of Great Xia Dynasties!

The only problem is that purely relying on selling Heavy Water Spiritual Objects from the Ba Mountain Secret Realm to buy so many Demon Pearls and materials might not be achievable in a short amount of time. It's estimated that gathering them this way might take over ten years! After all, Heavy Water Spiritual Objects might be in demand in the Great Xia Dynasty, where there are many Fifth and Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm Cultivators. However, the prodigies and talented disciples of Spiritual Crane Immortal City are all at the Late Stage or Ninth-Layer Perfection. What they most desire are definitely not Heavy Water Spiritual Objects!

If a large volume of medicinal herbs from the Ba Mountain Secret Realm were sold, it would be possible to quickly gather a large number of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades. This is because even those Immortal Sect disciples and dynasty prodigies still need the medicinal herbs for Nine Revolutions Qi Replenishing Soup. However, the massive amount of medicinal herbs from the Ba Mountain Secret Realm is critical. After obtaining a large number of Immortal Artifacts, these herbs are needed to quickly nurture them. They are also key to enhancing my Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone and Great Reincarnation Technique! If the medicinal herbs for Nine Revolutions Qi Replenishing Soup are continually sold, then even if Miss Xiao helps me refine a large number of Immortal Artifacts, I wouldn't be able to properly nurture or activate them. In that case, those Immortal Artifacts would be nothing more than piles of scrap metal! Unless... I use some other trump cards, some special resources! But if Miss Xiao plans to help me refine forty-nine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, will their power surpass my Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword? If not, spending so much to obtain some Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts just for the disciple recruitment ceremony would really be unnecessary!

Thinking this, Lin Xuankong looked at Xiao Xiuyi. "If I refine a dozen or so Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, I can easily gather the necessary materials with the resources I currently have. Having that many Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts would not only arm myself but also provide strong protection for Lan, Xiaoo Ying'Er, and Little Hu. Why not just refine a dozen or so, maybe twenty, Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts and call it a day?"

After saying this, Lin Xuankong's expression faltered for a moment. He secretly sighed: If I hadn't encountered Xiao Xiuyi and 'coaxed' her into calling me husband, thus unlocking her extraordinary Artifact Refining Talent, I probably would never have been able to say what I just said in my entire life! A dozen or twenty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts... The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, which controls the entire Spiritual Crane Immortal City, numerous Spirit Mountains, and many dynasties, ostensibly possesses only one First-Grade Immortal Artifact. Perhaps they have two or three more in secret? But no way could they possibly have a dozen or twenty Immortal Artifacts. Most of what they possess are Magical Artifacts and High-Tier Spiritual Artifacts! Even the Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect mostly possess only High-Tier Spiritual Artifacts, albeit in larger quantities! If the Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, along with the prodigies and Immortal Sect disciples in Spiritual Crane Immortal City, knew that a Ninth Layer Cultivator was casually talking about a dozen or twenty Immortal Artifacts, I wonder how they would react?

Xiao Xiuyi listened and nodded slightly. "If Brother Lin only wants to refine a dozen or twenty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, just gather the materials and leave them with me. Lately, you've given me many Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs. My True Qi is sufficient, so I don't even need you by my side to help with the refining! With my current Artifact Refining Technique, it should only take around ten days to complete twenty Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts!"

Lin Xuankong was about to agree, but Xiao Xiuyi continued, "However, the reason I suggested forty-nine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts to Brother Lin earlier was because I plan to help you refine an Immortal Array similar to the Demon Prison Cage! This inspiration was also derived from Brother Lin's Demon Capturing Array! I will inscribe a large number of Demon-Catching Array Inscriptions on these forty-nine Initial Tier Immortal Swords so they can cooperate with each other!"
