Nearly half an hour later, the vast stream of information regarding the Immortal Tier Artifact Refining Techniques was finally and completely imprinted into Lin Xuankong's memory.

Even though Lin Xuankong was in the mid-grade of the Sixth Layer, with his Heart Thought at the Eighth Layer, suddenly accepting so much information was still incredibly painful. However, once the information transfer was complete, his headache quickly subsided.

Lin Xuankong couldn't completely digest the information about those Immortal Tier Artifact Refining Techniques in such a short period, but a surge of admiration for Xiao Xiuyi welled up in his heart.

She was willing to stay away from bustling cities, live in a simple cave, yet possessed unparalleled talent in artifact refining and was wholeheartedly dedicated to studying its techniques. Geniuses weren't frightening, but a genius like Xiao Xiuyi, completely undistracted, truly was!

Xiao Xiuyi, who was originally deducing artifact refining techniques, occasionally looked up at him. Seeing Lin Xuankong's face gradually return to normal and that he seemed fine, she finally felt relieved.

A touch of surprise then appeared in her clear eyes. "The Treasure Elixir passed down in Brother Lin's family is indeed quite miraculous. After taking it, not only was my Heart Spirit greatly invigorated, but my thoughts and deductions on artifact refining techniques also became continuously inspired. In just a little over half an hour of deduction, I surpassed what would normally take me several days!"

That wasn't the effect of the Treasure Elixir; it was because you called me 'husband'!

Lin Xuankong said, "Yes, that elixir indeed has an excellent effect."

Xiao Xiuyi nodded slightly and then fell silent. After a moment, she suddenly stood up, cupped her hands seriously, and said, "This kind of miraculous elixir is extremely beneficial for my future study of artifact refining techniques. It can even be said to bring about an earth-shattering change. If this elixir's effect could last, its value would be unimaginable. Even among the many spirit elixirs of the Central Divine Dynasty, I've never heard of such a miraculous Treasure Elixir!

"Brother Lin's ancestors were probably no ordinary cultivators to possess such a miraculous Treasure Elixir. The key is that Brother Lin was willing to share such a Treasure Elixir with me. I really don't know how to thank you, Brother Lin!"

Lin Xuankong waved his hand and said, "Miss Xiao, there's no need to be so formal. You're helping me refine an Immortal Artifact and haven't even mentioned payment. How could I possibly quibble over the value of this Treasure Elixir!"

Xiao Xiuyi revealed a slight smile. "I hadn't mentioned payment before because I wasn't sure I could guarantee a successful refinement. If I failed, the value of the wasted materials would be almost incalculable! Brother Lin, you trusted me to experiment with so many Demon Pearls; how could I mention any payment?

"However, after taking this Treasure Elixir, I've gained many insights.

"If refining an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, I already have a ninety percent confidence level; for a Grade-Entered Immortal Artifact, seventy percent. As for that growth-type Immortal Artifact, after I deduce and verify for a few more days, I should have plenty of inspiration. By then, I will definitely be able to come up with a perfected artifact refining technique!"

Seeing her eyes full of confidence, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but praise, "Miss Xiao, your artifact refining techniques are marvelous and unfathomable; I truly admire them! For the next few days, please focus on your deductions. Once you are confident, we'll start the refinement.

"However, this place is still the remote wilderness. Miss Xiao, why don't you conduct your deductions at my residence? It would be safer that way!"

Now that he knew of Xiao Xiuyi's astonishing talent in artifact refining, how could Lin Xuankong allow this genius to stay alone in the wilderness? This wasn't just an Artifact Refining Genius; this was his future Immortal Artifact! Moreover, it was a growth-type Immortal Artifact, the kind of ultimate Immortal Artifact wielded by the strongest Immortals of the Central Divine Dynasty!

If she encountered any danger, his Immortal Artifact plan would be completely ruined!

But Xiao Xiuyi slightly shook her head. "I am accustomed to living alone in the mountains and forests. Besides, I've been living here for these past few years and have never encountered any danger. Brother Lin, you can rest assured."

Seeing the determination on her face, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but furrow his brows. After a moment of thought, he reached into his Ghost Frog Pouch, retrieved a Protective Jade Token given to him by Xiaoo Ying'Er, and handed it to Xiao Xiuyi.

"For a rare genius like you, Miss Xiao, to live alone in the wild makes me uneasy," he said. "Especially now, with Great Marsh Prefecture and Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect preparing to deal with the Great Demons of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, the situation is increasingly tense. Who knows when those Great Demons might send out their minions to wreak havoc and kill cultivators near Great Marsh Prefecture!

"This Jade Token was given to me by a friend. It can store True Qi and Qi Blood, and it can automatically defend its wearer. In terms of defense, it's even stronger than Battle Armor!"

Xiao Xiuyi was quite independent and wouldn't easily accept someone else's treasure. After refusing a few times, she saw Lin Xuankong's insistence and reluctantly accepted the Protective Jade Token.

She took the Protective Jade Token, which was refined from Mid-grade Profound Truth Jade, and infused it with her Qi Blood. After sensing it carefully, her brows suddenly furrowed. "Brother Lin, this Protective Jade Token of yours is indeed extremely precious. It's made from Mid-grade Profound Truth Jade from the Central Divine Dynasty and is probably more valuable than a set of Exorcism Armor.

"Within the Profound Truth Jade, there is also a micro Body-Protecting Array inscribed by an Artifact Refiner, providing very strong protective effects.

"However, aside from the micro Body-Protecting Array, there's another peculiar array inside!"

Lin Xuankong was a bit surprised. "A peculiar array! Miss Xiao, do you know the purpose of this peculiar array? When my friend gave me this Protective Jade Token, they only mentioned the protective effect, without mentioning any other arrays or effects!"

Xiao Xiuyi said, "I will carefully sense it again!"
