Dressed in black, Xiao Xiuyi gazed at the brand-new Initial Tier Immortal Sword in Lin Xuankong's hand, her expression kept changing. "This... this, you actually succeeded in refining an Immortal Artifact? But how is this possible? I've never seen you refine an Immortal Artifact; you haven't even attempted to refine Magical Artifacts or Battle Armors!"

Xiao Xiuyi, always confident in her Artifact Refining Talent, now felt her spirit taking a heavy blow. Even she had to be extremely cautious when she first refined an Immortal Artifact, undergoing a long period of simulations and practicing with Battle Armor and Magical Artifact materials before succeeding on her first attempt! Yet Lin Xuankong, who had never refined even a Magical Artifact, had just succeeded in one go! Could it be that this guy's Artifact Refining Talent is even greater than hers?

Lin Xuankong glanced at the two newly refined Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts beside Xiao Xiuyi. "Unfortunately, I'm still far from Miss Xiao's refining speed. I've only just refined my first Initial Tier Immortal Sword, yet Miss Xiao has already completed her second! Mm, there's quite a gap!"

Xiao Xiuyi: ....

AAAARGH! This guy succeeded in refining an Initial Tier Immortal Sword on his first try, and he's actually talking about a gap! That's like a child learning to fly before they can even roll over, crawl, or walk! And he still talks about a gap… I've been refining artifacts for decades, priding myself on my comprehension in Artifact Refining. Even if it's not outrageously strong, it can definitely compare with those Immortal Tier Refiners of the Central Divine Dynasty. Yet, I'm inferior to this fellow beside me? Why do I suddenly have the urge to ignore him!

Lin Xuankong watched Xiao Xiuyi's peculiar expression and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Haha, Miss Xiao, oh Miss Xiao, every bit of your insight into Artifact Refining has been passively absorbed by me!

Xiao Xiuyi frowned and said, "I suddenly don't feel like refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts for you anymore. Since you're so strong, do it yourself!"

Lin Xuankong: ....

Xiao Xiuyi was, of course, only speaking out of irritation! Lin Xuankong could provide her with a quiet, uninterrupted refining environment and continually supply her with a large amount of materials, allowing her to constantly verify her new insights into Artifact Refining. Most importantly, Lin Xuankong had once gifted her his family's treasured Treasure Medicines, which had allowed her Artifact Refining skills to continuously improve since then. With these conditions, help, and acts of kindness, Xiao Xiuyi, this prodigy of Artifact Refining, would naturally spare no effort in repaying his generosity!

Thus, a dozen or so days later, Lin Xuankong, on Flying Dragon Slope, was surrounded by a pile of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! Most of these new Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts were refined by Xiao Xiuyi, while roughly a little less than half were refined by Lin Xuankong. Although Lin Xuankong's Artifact Refining skill wasn't far behind Xiao Xiuyi's due to the second talent from his Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters, in actual practice, Xiao Xiuyi's Artifact Refining Talent still slightly surpassed his, naturally allowing her to outpace him in refining speed!

Gazing at the ground now covered in Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, Xiao Xiuyi, dressed in black, stood gracefully beside Lin Xuankong, a look of satisfaction on her face. For her, nothing brought more peace and joy than continuously refining various artifacts!

However, watching Lin Xuankong pick up one Initial Tier Immortal Artifact after another and swiftly nourish it, Xiao Xiuyi, despite being long accustomed to this sight, still felt a profound shock in her heart.

"To nourish an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact in just a few breaths… even cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm might only be capable of this! Truly, I wonder, if you ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm one day, just how abundant would your Immortal Yuan be? How long could you activate these Immortal Artifacts?" Xiao Xiuyi couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong's eyes also revealed a touch of anticipation. Having arrived at Spiritual Crane Immortal City and met Lii Xiaolan, he now understood much more about cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm.

According to Lii Xiaolan, cultivators in the Transcendence Realm could only channel True Qi. Thus, when nourishing Immortal Artifacts, they had to expend a large amount of True Qi each time and could only activate them for a very short period—typically two or three breaths at most!

Cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm, however, are different. After their bodies are stimulated by Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills and Immortal Tribulations, their Sunflower Water Vein, Geng Metal Vein, Thick Earth Vein, Wood Vein, and Li Fire Vein merge to form an Earth Immortal Golden Core! Furthermore, the Divine Souls of Earth Immortal Realm cultivators also merge with their Immortal Body and Golden Core due to the effects of Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills, Immortal Tribulations, and Immortal Yuan. At that point, Earth Immortal Realm experts could practically stand invincible, possessing nearly indestructible Golden Cores and infinitely versatile Immortal Bodies. As long as these are not completely annihilated, their Divine Souls will persist until their Lifespan is exhausted!

Simultaneously, as True Qi is converted into Immortal Yuan, which is countless times more condensed, the energy consumed to activate Magical Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts becomes minimal. Even an Initial Tier Earth Immortal, with the abundant Immortal Yuan in their Golden Core and Immortal Body, can easily activate an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact for thousands of breaths. For a First-Grade Immortal Sword that is several times heavier, they could activate it for hundreds of breaths. As for heavy Immortal Artifacts of Second and Third Grades, they could still activate them for dozens of breaths!

The Immortal Yuan of a typical Initial Tier Earth Immortal can already activate a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact for dozens of breaths. My Life Plate, on the other hand, can store over ten thousand times more Qi Blood than cultivators of the Same Tier. If I were to enter the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm, how long could I activate Immortal Artifacts? It would probably be for hundreds of thousands of breaths… Especially since Immortal Artifacts, unlike Magical Artifacts, can be controlled as easily as one's own limbs. With my Eight Gates Celestial Eye, my field of vision is countless times broader than that of Same Tier cultivators… If I could then continuously activate Immortal Artifacts for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of breaths, I would absolutely become the most powerful long-range cannon!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong smiled and said, "I just have a little more True Qi, so I'll just be able to activate them for a little longer than others!"

Xiao Xiuyi was speechless. "Mm-hmm, a little, a little!"

Then, her brows suddenly furrowed. "But there's one thing I still need to remind you, Brother Lin! The Central Divine Dynasty has numerous Earth Immortals, and they all possess their own powerful Immortal Techniques; they must not be underestimated. This time you are participating in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony. Firstly, do not underestimate your opponents. Even with Immortal Artifacts, you must not look down on the disciples from the various Immortal Sects. Secondly, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not reveal your Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword. Also, when activating the Immortal Capturing Array, it's best not to casually use so many Immortal Artifacts, to avoid attracting unwanted attention and covetous eyes!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "I will certainly keep Miss Xiao's reminder in mind!"

With that said, he stored away the last nourished Immortal Sword, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

This time, I must not only ensure I defeat my opponents and join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to obtain a Sixth Celestial Vein! Moreover, since I have so many Immortal Artifacts, I should bring a few of my brothers into the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect as well! Aside from Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, people like Li Xiaohu, Han Lu, and Yang Mountain all left their Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters to trek billions of miles with me to the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region. How could I possibly monopolize the chance to join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect? How could I monopolize the chance to obtain the Sixth Celestial Vein? They are all now at Ninth-Layer Perfection and have each acquired Celestial Demon Techniques from their Tier One or Tier Two Celestial Demon Bones. If I give each of them two or three Immortal Artifacts, defeating some so-called geniuses shouldn't be a big problem, right? After all, two or three Immortal Artifacts are like having two or three Initial Tier Earth Immortal Golden Cores! Furthermore, if these brothers of mine all join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, obtain various resources, and grow stronger, it will be extremely important for my future standing in both the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and the Central Divine Dynasty!

I just wonder, with my help this time, how many of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's twenty-one spots will they be able to secure?
