Chapter 1041: No Need to Undress

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: No Need to Undress

The Treasure Refining Room was arranged meticulously, with a magic artifact furnace in the center.

The furnace’s base connected to underground fire veins, with chimney-like ducts above to exhaust smoke, toxic gas, and residual fire. The Forgemasters of the Artifact Hall could send spiritual materials into the furnace, using the power of Earthly Fire to burn and melt them, for refining and repairing magic artifacts!

A bamboo couch was placed at the room’s edge, where a Forgemaster could meditate to restore vitality when their mana was lacking or when they were mentally exhausted!

Shen Mo carefully examined the damaged magic artifacts sent by the Battle Hall, which included four Flying Swords, two shields, and an iron armor, all top-grade profound level magic artifacts, perfectly matching Yang Ai’s Grade IV forging proficiency.

There was only one piece of iron armor, leaving nothing much to observe.

However, the Flying Swords and shields, whether in appearance, material used, or internal runes, were all identical, clearly standardized magic artifacts!

Though they were standardized, the overall design was unique, and despite the basic spiritual materials used not being of high grade, they were refined into a composite spirit gold used for forging the main body of the magic artifact, enhancing the basic spiritual materials by a level. The internal runes were also incomparably exquisite and ingenious, allowing the maximum accommodation of a cultivator’s mana...

The Celestial Feather Sect’s overall forging proficiency surpasses that of today’s Red Flame Sect.

This is a bit terrifying, as the Red Flame Sect integrated the entire cultivation world of the Red Flame Zone, and after ascending to the Immortal Realm, continued to enhance their foundation in the Dreamland, already no longer what it once was. Only True Immortal powers with tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years of legacy in the Immortal Realm could suppress the Red Flame Sect this way; even the oldest immortal sect legacies in the Lower Realm could not reach such a level!

In Yang Ai’s memory, a large portion about forging was missing, and the rest was a jumble like paste.

Fortunately, Shen Mo’s forging proficiency reached Grade VI, and since the Celestial Feather Sect’s Instrument Tao had not transcended the Immortal Realm’s system, he quickly pieced together the proportions of basic spiritual materials, refining techniques, internal runes, etc., based on the information from these seven damaged magic artifacts, taking five days to fully repair them, so expertly that even the most proficient Forgemaster could not discern any abnormalities.

When he walked out of the Treasure Refining Room, the Artifact Hall disciple who brought the damaged magic artifacts before was somewhat surprised, as "Elder Yang" usually took at least half a month to repair such artifacts.

The Artifact Hall disciple checked these artifacts and found that the repair was vastly superior to before, nearly indistinguishable from being remade, and immediately felt a surge of respect, eagerly saying, "Congratulations to Elder Yang for the advancement in Instrument Tao proficiency, maybe next time you can enter the ’C’ level Treasure Refining Room!"

Shen Mo quickly searched his memory fragments concerning this disciple, knowing he was surnamed Li and junior to Yang Ai in the Celestial Feather Sect, so he chatted with him a bit, and knowing there were no other artifacts needing repair for now, had Li the Junior Master take away the repaired artifacts, while he returned to his rather simple cultivation mansion through an escaping light!

Liu Yiyi did not expect "Elder Yang" to complete the sect’s task so quickly this time and hurriedly prepared hot water and food and drink upon his return to the mansion, as per usual practice.

Indeed, Shen Mo didn’t plan to retrieve this strand of origin power, and after a bath, he heartily enjoyed the spiritual wine and delicacies.

After Liu Yiyi finished tidying up, Shen Mo took her into the underground secret chamber, where there were no Formation Prohibitions guarding the inside or outside of the mansion, and since there were not a few Great Cultivators above the Divine Bridge Realm within the Celestial Feather Sect, a casual sweep of their sense could monitor everything. This Elder Yang usually entered the underground secret chamber when closing off for cultivation or doing things that needed to avoid being seen; the chamber was pasted with Spirit Banned Talismans, which couldn’t stop a strong sense but would self-combust if one forcefully broke through, serving as a slight warning!

As soon as they entered the underground secret chamber, Liu Yiyi shyly and coquettishly removed the outer layer of her light blue emerald shirt.

In the Celestial Feather Sect, quite a few female disciples had extremely poor cultivation Talent yet had some beauty. Although their path seemed hopeless, they would not be expelled from the sect but were instead sent to stay by the mid to high-level members’ sides, nominally as maid disciples, though their actual roles were well understood by all!

Liu Yiyi had followed Yang Ai for over two years.

For her, Elder Yang was a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator and a Grade IV Forgemaster of the Artifact Hall. If she could gain his favor and be taken as a concubine, it would not be a bad fate, and she might rely on this big tree to gain more cultivation resources, possibly advancing her own cultivation!

Even getting a Beauty Preserving Pill would be good; at least she could maintain youth until her lifespan was exhausted.

But since Elder Yang was devoted to cultivation and uninterested in women, he hadn’t taken her into his room yet, so Liu Yiyi had given up, planning to live peacefully for a hundred years. However, being suddenly brought into the underground secret chamber today, she immediately realized what was happening. Although extremely shy, she still courageously undressed!

Shen Mo watched Liu Yiyi with some curiosity. Her expression had been constantly changing since just now, wondering what she was thinking; she now suddenly began undressing... After all, in Yang Ai’s fragmented memory, there was not the slightest inkling of such thoughts; he mainly cultivated a cultivation method of tranquility free from desire, and women could only slow his cultivation progress.

Before Liu Yiyi continued, Shen Mo’s two fingers were already on her forehead, casting the Soul Searching technique!

Yang Ai’s memory was chaotic and broken; even if it were all sorted out, very little useful information could be obtained. The fastest was naturally Soul Searching the indigenous within the Demonic Realm.

It’s just that the Celestial Feather Sect seemed to have quite a few Great Cultivators. Once they noticed, they would certainly further investigate "Elder Yang’s" Soul Body, and at that time, as the "possessor," he would undoubtedly be suppressed and slain.

His real body had attempted this in the Outer Realm before, and the second gecko false body sent into this Immortal Demonic Spirit erupted into ash, leaving nothing behind. If "Elder Yang" were slain, he might not be able to enter this Demonic Realm again!

Thus, acting within the Celestial Feather Sect required careful words and actions, and summoning Liu Yiyi into the underground secret chamber was merely for Soul Searching her.

Fortunately, this Evil Spirit bore almost no difference to a real world, allowing Shen Mo to successfully inspect the god and soul memories of Liu Yiyi through the Soul Searching Spell!

Her cultivation and status were too low to know about higher-level information of this realm and the Celestial Feather Sect, but even the common knowledge of this world’s indigenous people slightly changed Shen Mo’s expression.

A moment later, Liu Yiyi awoke from her daze, feeling somewhat unwell, thinking it might be due to her nervousness, she didn’t think deeply about it, and began removing her inner garment beneath the emerald shirt!

"No need to undress. I called you down here not for anything else, just to reward you for your diligence with a pill to aid your cultivation." Shen Mo casually found an excuse, then took a Grade III Elixir from the Universe Bag and handed it to Liu Yiyi. "With your cultivation, you can’t bear the drug power of this Elixir, and I’ll help you refine it after taking it!"
