Moments later, Lin Xuankong, who was rushing at full speed, arrived outside the cave at Flying Dragon Slope. Just as he was about to enter, he saw Xiao Xiuyi emerging with a joyful expression.

This tall, dark-clad Artifact Refining Genius looked at Lin Xuankong with bright eyes. "Brother Lin, your timing is perfect. I was just about to seek you out!"

Lin Xuankong's eyes lit up. "Miss Xiao, you've already completed the deduction and are confident in refining a growth-type immortal artifact now, aren't you?"

Xiao Xiuyi nodded happily. "Indeed, Brother Lin. How did you know?"

Your insights are all in my brain!

Lin Xuankong silently looked at his Brain Mansion Life Plate.

[Artifact Refining Technique: Immortal Tier: Grade-Entering 2/500]

He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Miss Xiao, on your progress in the Artifact Refining Technique!"

Xiao Xiuyi looked at him with a complicated expression. "Brother Lin, that Treasure Elixir your family passed down is truly miraculous. Ever since I took it, deducing the Artifact Refining Technique feels like I'm receiving divine assistance. Many previously unsolvable bottlenecks can now be comprehended with just a little thought! That elixir is probably priceless. Brother Lin has been so generous in giving it to me; this kindness, Xiuyi will remember forever!"

"Miss Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. The value of an immortal artifact is immeasurable!"

Lin Xuankong smiled at her, thinking inwardly:

My second talent, which provides a thirtyfold boost to Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters, is indeed extraordinarily magical! However, when it comes to enhancing Artifact Refining skills, it only works this effectively on Miss Xiao, allowing her technique to advance so rapidly! If it were someone else, even with a sixtyfold boost, they probably couldn't deduce and enhance their Artifact Refining Technique so quickly just by thinking about it! People's talents are truly different. Young Lady Lii Xiaolan has the Primordial Strange Vein, enabling her to cultivate the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique that others cannot. Second Lady Zhao Yufei, with her Double Pupil Bloodline, can cultivate the Eight Gates Celestial Eye, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to master. I myself have the talent for cultivating Thunderbolt Techniques, allowing me to cultivate the Yin Talisman Technique as if divinely assisted! But speaking of an Artifact Refining Genius, let alone Great Xia, I'm afraid no one in the entire world can match Xiao Xiuyi... People's talents are so different; it's truly beyond envy!

Xiao Xiuyi, seeing him smiling at her without speaking, couldn't help but smile too.

"I guess Brother Lin has long been eager to start refining the immortal artifact. Why don't we begin now?"

"Start now?" Lin Xuankong frowned. "Recently, there have been frequent Demon attacks in various parts of the outer city of Great Marsh Prefecture, and many towns there have been destroyed by Demons! Great Demons of the Sixth and Seventh Layers appear frequently. Even the Seventh Layer Cultivator teams sent by Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er have been attacked, resulting in several casualties! It may not be safe here at Flying Dragon Slope. How about returning to Great Marsh Prefecture to refine the immortal artifact?"

But Xiao Xiuyi shook her head slightly and looked around. "Brother Lin, do you really think I'm a clueless woman? When I first started secluding myself here, I had already set up a warning array within a hundred-mile radius. If a powerful Demon appears, I will know immediately! Moreover, this place is close to Prison Dragon City. If Prison Dragon City's Grand Array is activated, it can cover a five hundred-mile radius. Unless those Demons have a death wish, they definitely won't rampage near Prison Dragon City! Otherwise, once the Grand Array is activated, Sixth Layer Great Demons will instantly die, and even Seventh Layer Great Demons would have to struggle to survive!"

Having said that, she walked towards the cave. "If we're talking about the safest place in Great Marsh Prefecture besides near Great Marsh Prefecture City, it would be near Prison Dragon City! Brother Lin, we should seize the time to refine the immortal artifact. This growth-type immortal artifact is unlike the Ruyi Battle Armor; it will take at least ten days to complete!"

Seeing her insistence, Lin Xuankong had no choice but to step into the cave.

This Miss Xiao has an eccentric personality. Since she's so insistent, I probably have no choice but to go along with her! However, since I'm already here and have two late-stage Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions in my Ghost Frog Pouch, along with other means, even an early-stage or Mid-grade Tier Eight Demon wouldn't leave unscathed. With me accompanying Miss Xiao, this place shouldn't be too dangerous!

Thinking of this, he suppressed his worries and smiled. "Then let's begin refining!"

As she walked towards the inner part of the cave, Xiao Xiuyi heard this and looked up at Lin Xuankong, her pretty face showing a hint of expectation. "Brother Lin, have you prepared the twenty-eight Demon Pearls?"

Lin Xuankong reached into the Ghost Frog Pouch.

In an instant, the cave was filled with shimmering light as twenty-eight crystal-clear Demon Pearls landed on the table in front of Xiao Xiuyi.

A look of surprise appeared in Xiao Xiuyi's bright eyes. "Although I had expected Brother Lin to be well-prepared with materials and Demon Pearls, seeing these twenty-eight priceless Demon Pearls displayed before me still surprises me greatly."

Lin Xuankong smiled. "No matter how valuable Demon Pearls are, they cannot compare to the immortal artifact you are about to refine, Miss Xiao. The value of twenty-eight, even a hundred or two hundred Demon Pearls, pales in comparison! Of course, the most precious thing here is not the immortal artifact but Miss Xiao, who can refine it! If the powerful officials in the Great Xia Capital knew that the Miss Xiao they once offended was such a genius, they would regret it for eighteen generations!"

"Regret for eighteen generations?" Xiao Xiuyi couldn't help but smile. "Brother Lin, you certainly know how to talk. No wonder someone as celestial as Miss Lii would fall for you. It's hard to find a woman who wouldn't be charmed by your honeyed words!"

Having said that, she raised her hand to take out some Profound Iron and Forehead Scales, then her face revealed a look of seriousness.
