Chapter 1702: Gilded Battle Armor

Qiong Qi kept examining that gilded great ox, but for a long time did not act.

"You just plan to stare at it like that and expect to forge armor?"

Ye Liuyun also didn't know what he was studying.

"What do you know! With such excellent material, if I can't forge something superior to your Hunting Demon Armor, wouldn't that make me look utterly useless!"

Qiong Qi said offhandedly.

"Superior to the Hunting Demon Armor?"

Ye Liuyun, upon hearing that, immediately became interested as well.

"Go, go, go, don't disturb my thinking!"

Qiong Qi ignored Ye Liuyun's question, and sat himself in front of the great ox, beginning to think.

After a while, he looked at the stone slab, then at the thunder-strike stone, and suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, let's do it like that!"

Qiong Qi suddenly shouted.

Ye Liuyun, however, remained still, sitting beside him and began to cultivate.

"Hey?"

"I was calling you, why no response?"

Qiong Qi called out to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled helplessly: "How would I know whether you were thinking or calling me?"

Qiong Qi also didn't mind, excitedly said to Ye Liuyun: "The Formation on your door panel, although not very high-grade, is quite practical; it not only can defend against attacks and Divine Sense probing, but also can pass through the door panel to emit or absorb various powers; applied to armor, it can raise the armor's grade."

"Moreover, the lightning power within these thunder-strike stones can also be refined into the armor, and together with my Fire Flame Power, we can forge a set of gilded thunder-fire battle armor, which would be stronger than your Hunting Demon Armor."

"Yin-yang two kinds of fire?"

"And what about Buddha Demon Power and Ice Power?"

Ye Liuyun reminded Qiong Qi.

"No no no, that power is too much! Two are most suitable."

"Moreover, Buddha Demon Power consists of two powers; the armor won't transform by itself."

"I think thunder-fire power is best!"

Qiong Qi explained.

"Then I want Fire Flame Power and Ice Power!"

Ye Liuyun still considered it from the yin-yang balance perspective.

"Thunder and fire both belong to yang, they are very suitable to merge together."

"Two different powers, on the contrary, would cancel each other's effects."

"You can't want everything!"

"Oh, then you just decide!"

Ye Liuyun also stopped arguing.

Anyway, he possesses all these powers; lacking any one wouldn't matter much.

"Then you must first tell me who the armor is for, so I can estimate the materials."

"If it's for Lei Ming and Long Nv, whose true forms are large, the materials needed would be a lot, possibly not enough for ten."

Qiong Qi said to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought, besides himself and his avatar, there might also be the person who would first accompany him to the Divine Realm.

"Man Shu definitely counts as one, Lei Ming and Long Nv are about the same, and if there's another, it would be Ye Tiandao……"

Ye Liuyun hadn't finished speaking when Qiong Qi hurriedly called a halt.

"Enough enough, we can only make this much! The materials for Lei Ming, Long Nv, and my own each need to be double, and might still not be enough! This already amounts to materials for ten people!"

"What about others?"

Ye Liuyun felt the quantity was too little.

"The materials you found aren't enough; can't blame me!"

Qiong Qi shouted.

"You wouldn't try to secretly take it for yourself again, would you?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

He looked at the great bronze ox before him and felt that making thirty sets of armor would be sufficient.

Qiong Qi smiled embarrassedly: "Don't insult people! You don't believe me this time; I'll refine it together with you, and I also happen to need your help!"

"I see that you truly need my help!"

Ye Liuyun also didn't mind, and immediately agreed.

Qiong Qi first deciphered the Formation on the gilded metal, then together with Ye Liuyun used Fire Flame Power to smelt all the gilded metal into Qiong Qi's Broken Copper Cauldron.

After the gilded metal was smelted, the things inside also appeared.

There were three items in total.

One was a black magic staff, one was a pill, and one was the primordial elixir of a Divine Realm powerhouse.

That Divine Realm powerhouse's primordial elixir was not that of an ordinary Divine Realm powerhouse.

According to Qiong Qi's analysis, this Divine Realm powerhouse is at least at the fourth level of the Divine Realm.

Ye Liuyun sensed the power inside that origin elixir and felt it was somewhat terrifying.

"The energy inside seems even greater than the Primordial Power of this world!"

He curiously asked Qiong Qi.

Of course! A Divine Realm strongman gains power that is worlds apart with each rank increase.

For example, I can't defeat your Magic Vine right now.

Even if you employ Formation and fire, you still can't beat it! Got it?

I suggest you don't use that Primordial Pill for cultivation now; after all, you aren't lacking resources.

Save it until you reach the Divine Realm.

Qiong Qi again began to educate Ye Liuyun.

"Then how much energy will I need later?"

"Where can I get that much?"

Ye Liuyun heard this, was a bit startled, but more worried about the energy needed for his future cultivation.

He originally had two Primordial Pills; adding a duplicate means he needs four portions of energy.

Four portions of energy stronger than the Primordial Power of an entire world—where can he find that!

Qiong Qi no longer rebuked him; instead he comforted him: "What are you worried about?"

"Do you think the Divine Realm is barren and empty?"

"When the time comes, you'll naturally find it! When you were in the Body Refining stage, did you ever think you'd need so many resources now?"

"That's the same principle!"

Ye Liuyun heard this and felt a little reassured.

"What is this pill for?"

Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

He thought it seemed like a Body Refining pill.

"For Body Refining.

Give it to me, will you?"

"My Physical Body still lacks a bit."

Qiong Qi handed it to Ye Liuyun.

"Here you go!"

Ye Liuyun directly tossed the pill to Qiong Qi.

He has never been reluctant toward Qiong Qi.

"You're a loyal lad; this time there's no putting beauty before friendship!"

Qiong Qi praised.

Qiong Qi also knew that Man Shu, Wu Qingcheng and Ye Liuyun's other women—none of them had Physical Bodies that reached the Divine Realm.

Yet Ye Liuyun could hand him the pill directly, underscoring that he truly considered him a friend.

"What about this wand?"

Ye Liuyun picked up that wand again.

"This wand ranks higher than your Hunting Demon Bow, and it's a very precious artifact—perfect for your duplicate.

But it seems to have no function beyond the Demon Qi attribute."

Qiong Qi took it, examined it, and helped Ye Liuyun analyze, saying.

"The duplicate also has a scepter that can poison.

Can you transfer that function onto this wand?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Qiong Qi quickly shook his head and explained: "Then you can only add the poisonous part onto this wand.

If you ask me to reforge it, my current strength is insufficient; it would actually downgrade the wand's rank!"

"Then combine them; even if it looks a bit ugly, as long as it's functional, that's fine!"

Ye Liuyun immediately handed the duplicate's scepter to Qiong Qi as well.

"Alright, I'll start forging these now, first emptying the Thunder and Lightning Power from these Thunder Strike Stones.

Then I'll set up a Thunder‑attracting Formation for you!"

Qiong Qi, true to his word, immediately began busily working.

For the remaining tasks, Ye Liuyun could hardly help, so he had to go out to continue cultivation.
