Chapter 3439

At this point, if Ye Liuyun wanted to further advance his blade intent, he had to merge it with the momentum of heaven and earth, allowing the two to complement each other. Through the cultivation techniques of the prince’s residence, he also learned that his previous insight had been correct.

Knowing that he was on the right path, Ye Liuyun felt much more at ease. He then got busy transforming the barriers of his spatial world.

The barriers of his spatial world had previously been only as strong as the space on the ninth level of the Immortal Realm. Now, he needed to remake them to withstand the strength of the third level of the Taixu World. Otherwise, his spatial world might not be able to withstand him fighting and practicing inside it. Once his strength grew further, he might very well cleave the entire spatial world open with a single slash.

That was why Ye Liuyun was frantically busy every day during this period, without a moment to rest. Fortunately, his spiritual power was now strong enough for him to multitask. He could deduce and improve his cultivation techniques while cultivating, without either task interfering with the other.

Because he had a tenfold time acceleration, a month outside amounted to more than three hundred days inside, giving him plenty of time.

It was not until Chen Yueying could no longer stand it and went to call him that he finally came out to get some fresh air.

“You really can sit still. You’ve been cultivating for an entire month!” Chen Yueying had actually been looking forward to Ye Liuyun coming out and chatting with her for a while every day.

Even the maids around her had noticed that the princess was waiting for Ye Liuyun. In the end, she waited for a whole month, and Ye Liuyun did not come out at all.

“It’s just that there were too many things to improve in my cultivation techniques, and I was too busy to get away!” Ye Liuyun explained.

“Cultivation also requires a balance between exertion and relaxation. I happen to feel like going out for a walk. You should take a break too and come stroll around with me!” Chen Yueying was using Ye Liuyun as a pretext to go out with him and spend more time by his side.

“All right!”

Ye Liuyun agreed.

He had already finished improving most of those cultivation techniques, and he had also remade the barriers of his spatial world. This was the perfect time for him to take a short break.

Chen Yueying was delighted to see how readily Ye Liuyun agreed.

She also told Ye Liuyun, “I’ve already had someone collect your monthly stipend! You’re rich now, and you’ve secretly learned so many cultivation techniques. Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal to show your gratitude?”

As she spoke, she handed Ye Liuyun a Interspatial Ring.

Ye Liuyun swept it with his divine sense and discovered that the Taixu divine crystals inside amounted to more than a hundred times his monthly stipend in the military camp. He immediately realized that Chen Yueying had given him special treatment.

“Haha, no problem. It’s on me. Order whatever you want!” Ye Liuyun readily agreed.

He had also been thinking about how to thank Chen Yueying. He felt that he could refine a Interspatial Ring for her. Since his own storage space needed to be reforged as well, he might as well buy some extra materials and prepare a portion for Chen Yueying too.

After all, Chen Yueying lacked nothing. A practical little gift would be enough to show his appreciation.

“At least you have a conscience! But you should change your clothes. Otherwise, a guard’s uniform will be too conspicuous. You’re my personal guard; you don’t need to wear a guard’s uniform every day.”

Chen Yueying was worried that Ye Liuyun’s guard uniform would make it inconvenient for the two of them to stroll around together.

“All right!” Ye Liuyun also felt that it would indeed be inconvenient. He immediately changed his clothes and left the prince’s residence with Chen Yueying.

“Where should we go first?” Chen Yueying asked Ye Liuyun.

“How about the merchant association first? I want to buy some things I need.” Ye Liuyun also asked for Chen Yueying’s opinion.

“All right! It’s still too early to eat anyway, so let’s buy the things first!” Chen Yueying happily agreed. As long as she was with Ye Liuyun, it made no difference where they went.

The two of them entered the merchant association chatting and laughing, and Ye Liuyun went to look for materials for refining storage rings.

Seeing him buy materials for artifact refinement, Chen Yueying could not help asking curiously, “What are you buying these materials for? Can you refine artifacts too?”

“How could I know how to refine artifacts? I just think this Interspatial Ring’s space is too small and want to enlarge it a little. I’ll make one for you while I’m at it, as thanks!” Ye Liuyun explained.

“What? There’s one for me too?” Chen Yueying had not expected Ye Liuyun to give her a gift, so her face flushed faintly again. She immediately told the steward of the merchant association to bring out the finest artifact-refining materials.

“There’s no need for anything too high-end. It’s only for refining a Interspatial Ring!” Ye Liuyun hurriedly tried to stop her.

“How could that do? It’s something being refined for me. You may not care, but I do! At worst, I’ll pay for it. Since we’re refining one anyway, we might as well make it the best!”

Chen Yueying knew that Ye Liuyun definitely could not afford the finest materials, which was why she wanted to help him buy them.

“All right, you’re rich and willful!” Ye Liuyun stopped trying to dissuade her. It was only a Interspatial Ring, after all, and using the finest materials seemed somewhat excessive. But since Chen Yueying insisted on the best, he did not mind. She was not short of money anyway.

The steward knew Chen Yueying. When he heard her ask for the best, he immediately sent someone to bring over a very special piece of metal.

The metal was clearly extraordinary. Its surface had the patterns of stone, yet it possessed the properties of metal. Even Ye Liuyun could not identify what it was.

“This is Heaven-Repairing Stone!” the steward introduced it. “Although it is called a stone, it is actually neither stone nor metal. To this day, no one has been able to determine exactly how it should be classified.

“Yet it is far tougher than metal. It can make a refined artifact virtually indestructible, eliminate the impact of shock attacks, and never deform. It is the finest artifact-refining material in the Taixu World.

“The only problem is that it requires an extremely high flame temperature for refinement, and it must be continuously refined with both yin and yang flames. That is why many artifact refiners are unwilling to choose it.”

“So although this is the finest material, its price isn’t particularly high...” The steward enthusiastically tried to sell it to Ye Liuyun.

“I’ve heard of Heaven-Repairing Stone as well. It truly is the finest material. It isn’t particularly abundant, but its price isn’t high, so it’s indeed a very good deal.

“It’s just too difficult to refine. Ordinary artifact-refining masters wouldn’t choose to use it as a material. Why don’t we choose another kind?” Chen Yueying suggested to Ye Liuyun.

She knew that Ye Liuyun possessed the Golden Crow Sacred Flame, but she did not know that he also had the Netherworld Ghost Flame, which was likewise an extremely powerful flame spirit.

“It’s fine. How much of this material do you still have here?” Ye Liuyun immediately took a liking to it.

He was not merely planning to refine a Interspatial Ring. His Demon-Slaying Saber, God of War armor, and the weapons of the others could all be upgraded to a higher grade using this Heaven-Repairing Stone.

When the steward saw that Ye Liuyun was actually willing to buy this material, he became excited. “We still have two large pieces! If Young Master buys them all, we can give you another discount.”

As he spoke, he immediately had someone bring over the other two, even larger pieces of Heaven-Repairing Stone.

The Heaven-Repairing Stone had been sitting here for more than a year without anyone showing interest. Now that he had finally found a major buyer, the steward wanted to sell it even if he made no profit.
