This clearly placed Long Wuxian and himself on the same level in his heart, considering himself and Long Wuxian as peers on the path of Illusionary Feathers, this was already a great advantage.

"Old Feng, please wait a moment."

Long Wuxian hurriedly stopped the Wind God Elder who was about to go into seclusion.

"Young Brother, is there something you need?"

The Wind God Elder turned around to ask.

"It's nothing, just… I want to ask Old Feng for some materials."

Long Wuxian said.

"Oh, if you need any herbs, just pick them from the medicinal garden yourself, take whatever you want, no need to consult with me."

The Wind God Elder said casually.

"No, I'm not asking for herbs. I want some materials for crafting tools, preferably top-quality materials, and I'd also like to borrow a few bags of immortal-grade spirit stones, which I promise to return in the future."

Long Wuxian said.

What he urgently wanted to do now was to refine the Haixing Divine Bead again, and the environment here with the Wind God Elder was relatively quiet and undisturbed, which was very beneficial for him to concentrate on refining the Haixing Divine Bead.

However, refining the Haixing Divine Bead was not enough with just one Haixing Divine Bead; additional materials needed to be added for the refining process.

He had no weapons in his hands now, even if he had one he had previously obtained from Bei Luoyu, that whip was of no use.

As for those immortal-grade spirit stones, they were for preparing to break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Haixing Divine Bead itself had a relatively high compatibility with the Nine Jade Dragon Formula. Now that it needed to be rebuilt, once the weapon was completely formed, Long Wuxian would also gain immense benefits from the Haixing Divine Bead, and breaking through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm would not be a problem.

However, Long Wuxian's supply of immortal-grade spirit stones was already running low, making it somewhat difficult to support his advancement to the later stages of the Immortal Emperor realm. If he could obtain a few bags of immortal-grade spirit stones from the Wind God Elder, he wouldn't have to worry about the promotion issue at all.

"Alright, here are four hundred immortal-grade spirit stones. Take them, whether you borrow or not. As for the crafting materials, I happen to have some that I obtained not long ago, which are of no use to me, so I'm giving them all to you."

The Wind God Elder didn't hesitate at all and immediately threw a storage bag to Long Wuxian, containing immortal-grade spirit stones and crafting materials.

"Very well, in that case, I won't be polite."

Long Wuxian also didn't hold back and directly took the storage bag.

"From now on, don't be polite with me."

The Wind God Elder patted Long Wuxian's shoulder and then hurried off to seclude himself.

In the Wind God Elder's heart, when Long Wuxian asked for something from him, he actually felt much more comfortable. After all, the benefits he gained from Long Wuxian today were enormous, and he was not someone who liked to take advantage of others.

"You little brat, can do everything, even mastery of Illusionary Arts."

Yunxiang looked at Long Wuxian with a bit of admiration, feeling that this mature young man in front of her was truly becoming capable of anything.

"You haven't seen anything yet."

Long Wuxian flicked Yunxiang's forehead with his finger, "I'm going to seclude now to refine the Haixing Divine Bead. I need you to guard me, don't let me be disturbed by outsiders. Also, you need to behave yourself and not have any thoughts about these medicinal herbs."

"Hmph, do you think I'm begging for food? Those trashy things, to be honest, except for that Divine Yuan Fruit, I don't look at any other herbs and fruits!"

Yunxiang snorted.

The Wind God Elder's courtyard was spacious, so Long Wuxian casually found a room, closed the door, and Yunxiang squatted outside the door to guard him.

Refining the Haixing Divine Bead was a very important matter and absolutely could not be interrupted midway, otherwise all previous efforts would be in vain. With Yunxiang guarding him this time, Long Wuxian felt very reassured.

Though sometimes they disagreed, Yunxiang knew what was important at critical moments. She was very reliable when it came to doing tasks, but her capricious nature was something Long Wuxian found hard to accept.

Inside the room, Long Wuxian sat on a stone platform and took out the necessary items: the Haixing Divine Bead, herbs, and the adhesive mixture.

The adhesive mixture was only a small cup, but do not underestimate its power. It was enough to connect two large mountains together!

The adhesive mixture was quite rare and precious, being a top material for magical transformations. With Long Wuxian's current strength, even one Haixing Divine Bead could be dominant in battles.

"Mmm, things are going smoothly…"

Long Wuxian's palm caressed the Haixing Divine Bead back and forth, as if he was stroking his own child.

"Oh, Haixing Divine Bead, is it true that collecting all six can achieve the legend of the Six Realms' cycle?"

Long Wuxian murmured.

Buzz...

As if resonating with his thoughts, the Haixing Divine Bead immediately emitted a buzzing sound and began to vibrate violently on the ground.

Long Wuxian quickly adjusted himself to the best condition, creating a small safe space with a wave of his hand while expanding the Illusionary Furnace unrestrictedly to encompass himself.

Unfortunately, refining the Haixing Divine Bead was much more difficult than ordinary weapons, as it was the strongest weapon recorded in the Nine Jade Dragon Formula. It required collecting all six to fully unleash the power of the Nine Jade Dragon Formula. The more challenging the battle, the more terrifying the power!

But for Long Wuxian, these challenges did not exist because of the inherent connection between him and the Haixing Divine Bead through the Nine Jade Dragon Formula. Hence, there was no need to worry about rejection issues during the refining process.

Long Wuxian skillfully integrated the adhesive into the flames.

The adhesive was extremely solid, and ordinary flames couldn't melt it. However, Long Wuxian, as a Master of Illusion, had the Illusionary Furnace, which was fused with Beast Spirits, and the flames within it could melt anything. Moreover, he had added various Beast Spirits to enhance the effect, making the process faster!

After the different strong Beast Spirits were fused together, the adhesive quickly melted and appeared in Long Wuxian's hands in liquid form.

Next, Long Wuxian could begin the process of refining the Haixing Divine Bead!

"Well, it's going quite smoothly… now it's time for the final step, refinement!"

One day later.

Whoosh!

A pleasant chirp suddenly sounded from the flames, and then a dazzling red-golden light soared up, causing a powerful burst of energy to puncture a large hole in the room's ceiling.

Seeing this, Long Wuxian quickly reined in the Beast Spirits, using Chi to conceal the furious energy of the Haixing Divine Bead.

Subsequently, Long Wuxian grabbed the Haixing Divine Bead, and as if possessing a spirit of its own, it rebounded Long Wuxian's palm.

"Uh…"

Buzz…

Without hesitation, Long Wuxian immediately summoned the Nine Jade Dragon Formula, intending to exterminate the unruly object in one fell swoop!

At that moment, Long Wuxian suddenly felt that cultivating the Nine Jade Dragon Formula was like dealing with a gluttonous monster. Even at the Immortal Emperor level, the consumption was so great; if he reached the Divine Emperor level, would he even be able to sustain it?

The promotion within the Divine Emperor level required tens of thousands of immortal-grade spirit stones for each advancement, and it might even reach up to one hundred thousand!!!

"It seems I need to accumulate some spirit stones in advance. If I make a mistake at a critical moment, it would be troublesome."

Long Wuxian shook his head helplessly.

However, this massive consumption also illustrated the terrifying nature of the Nine Jade Dragon Formula. The greater the consumption, the more profound Long Wuxian's reserves. This put him in a league of his own, unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

This was also the reason why Long Wuxian could easily annihilate other cultivators across multiple levels.

With the enormous consumption came extraordinary power.

Long Wuxian put away the Haixing Divine Bead and slowly stood up from the stone platform. At that moment, there came Yunxiang's voice from outside.

"Old man, hold it right there."

"Old man? How dare you address me like that, you lowly creature! Where's that Young Brother of yours?"

Following that, the infuriated voice of the Wind God Elder was heard. He never had a good impression of Yunxiang, and now she dared to speak to him like this in his place, he would have definitely taught this pig a lesson if it weren't for Long Wuxian's presence.

"My Young Brother No Immortal is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed."

After hearing Yunxiang's words, Long Wuxian couldn't help but smile. This cat was indeed reliable at critical moments, having guarded him outside the door for a day and a half. Even if the Wind God Elder came, she was still uncompromising.

Creak!

Long Wuxian pushed open the door and appeared in front of Yunxiang and the Wind God Elder who had split his focus.

"So, you've advanced?"

The Wind God Elder sensed the aura of Long Wuxian at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor level, rolling his eyes in disbelief. He was already speechless about this abnormal person's rapid progress.

For someone without peer with the level of a Master of Illusion, coming to the sect just a few days ago was barely at the level of an Immortal Emperor, and now, in such a short time, had consecutively ascended to the late stage of the Immortal Emperor level. The incredible speed of his progression was truly against the heavens. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, how could he have believed it?

"You also advanced, Old Wind God?"

Long Wuxian smiled, and the Wind God Elder's aura was now profound and steady, progressing from the previous late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm to the peak and directly reaching the bottleneck level.

"Young Brother No Immortal, I owe you a great deal this time. If not for your guidance, how could I have ascended so quickly to the level of the tribal chief? And directly reaching the bottleneck level, those old guys will have to show respect to me now."

The Wind God Elder was extremely excited, as he had gained a lot this time. Not only had his cultivation improved, but many issues with Illusion Arts had also been resolved.

"Old man, help!"

At that moment, urgent cries suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard, followed by two frantic figures rushing in. One of them was carrying a person covered in blood on his back.

"What's going on? Have you no manners? How dare you rush in here without even following the rules?" The Wind God Elder was instantly furious. Everyone in the Celestial Gate knew his rules, and it was unheard of for someone to rush into his place, let alone without knocking on the door first, even if they were disciples below, let alone an elder from the Elder Council.

Not to mention, just now he was bragging, and now someone dares to disrespect him, where can he still put his old face in the future?

Plop!

Ignoring the anger of Elder Fengshen, the two immediately knelt down and slowly let the person on their back down.

"Elder Feng, if you want to punish us, we accept it. Please, Elder Feng, save Master Feiyue!" The female disciple wiped off some sweat, speaking urgently.
