Chapter 963: Favoring Beauty Over Friends

As soon as the magic dragon died, that treasure also became ownerless; Ye Liuyun immediately refined it and stored it away.

Afterward, Qiong Qi directly stored the entire magic dragon away, not even letting Ye Liuyun see what was inside its storage ring.

"You guy, you collected it so fast! That magic dragon's storage ring surely has good stuff!"

Ye Liuyun wanted Qiong Qi to take it out and show it to him.

"I haven't seen it, so how would I know? Don't wild-guess; if you feel you're losing out, I'll give you any good stuff I get later."

After he said that, Ye Liuyun became even more certain that there must be good stuff inside. Still, he didn't want it.

But he still said: "Forget later; I need your help right now. Help me repair a few treasures!"

Ye Liuyun said, taking out the magic net, the exotic scale armor, and the foreign tribe's divine bow.

After looking, Qiong Qi asked, somewhat puzzled: "This magic net and scale armor are broken; repairing them is no problem, but what about this bow? It's not broken either."

"I want you to help me change its appearance and add a tracking lock-on function!" Ye Liuyun stated his request, also taking out the hunting demon bow for Qiong Qi to model his modifications after.

Qiong Qi immediately understood: Ye Liuyun wanted to use this bow to confuse the enemy, then switch to the hunting demon bow at a critical moment to deliver a fatal blow!

"Well... the difficulty is a bit high!" Qiong Qi pretended to ponder.

"Forget that! Take out the magic dragon's storage ring..."

Before Ye Liuyun finished speaking, Qiong Qi immediately interjected.

"But this isn't a problem for me. I'll take this job, and we'll be even!"

After saying that, he stored the three artifacts needing modification. "Can I borrow your Xuan Kong Shi for a moment?"

Ye Liuyun put the hunting demon bow away, then stuffed Qiong Qi into the Xuan Kong Shi.

He didn't go out, but stayed in place cultivating, guarding Long Nv and helping her change her medicine.

Long Nv recovered quickly. Once the demon qi was removed, her wounds began to heal immediately; with Ye Liuyun's medicine, in less than two days her injuries were fully healed.

While Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi were pondering the magic dragon, Jin Dali's ice seal was also broken open.

He hurried to the entrance of Absolute Emotion Valley, saw Lan Wangxin resting his chin, gazing blankly at the secret realm's entrance, and blurted: "Did that kid go in?"

"Mm!" Lan Wangxin answered without turning his head.

"What should we do?" Jin Dali looked somewhat at a loss.

"The boss said not to worry about him!" Lan Wangxin replied, keeping his posture.

"What the boss said? But if he disturbs those little ones' cultivation, what then?" Jin Dali said, somewhat worried.

"Before he could even wake those ferocious beasts, he'd be asleep—what's there to worry about?" Lan Wangxin said disdainfully.

"But he's not our kind—could there be danger?" Jin Dali still wasn't reassured.

"Anyway, the boss said not to bother! If you're uneasy, just go in yourself!" Lan Wangxin seemed utterly unconcerned.

"..." Jin Dali had nothing to say.

Although he was worried, he didn't dare just go in.

He had experienced this dreamscape before.

Even if he went in, he'd fall asleep shortly after.

Moreover, after another round of forging, he might sleep even longer; he wasn't sure how long until he woke.

"Sigh!" Finally he let out a long breath, sat cross-legged to the side, closed his eyes to cultivate, and waited for Ye Liuyun to come out.

Ye Liuyun had nothing to do next, so he took out the bell seized from the magic dragon.

"What grade is this thing? It can even block the Sealing Demon Tablet!"

Ye Liuyun stared at the bell in a daze.

Suddenly, Qiong Qi jumped out from within the Xuan Kong Shi.

Seeing him studying the bell, he directly told him: "That bell and the Sealing Demon Tablet should be of the same grade. But external objects remain external; no matter how strong a treasure, it has weaknesses. Otherwise, how could you have killed that magic dragon?"

Qiong Qi was worried that Ye Liuyun relied too much on treasures.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and felt Qiong Qi made sense.

Once an opponent discovers a treasure's weakness, it could bring deadly danger.

Moreover, he now has the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, Magic Vine, ferocious beasts, divine artifacts, and with this defensive bell added, he could truly be called invincible.

Even if he didn't cultivate, no one could harm him.

But these things are all external objects; they do nothing for his own improvement.

Without the pressure of danger, his strength gains would lack motivation.

Ye Liuyun immediately erased the divine sense imprint on the bell.

Qiong Qi chuckled, reaching out, thinking Ye Liuyun had seen reason and would give him the bell.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun directly hung the bell on Long Nv's dragon horn.

"Uh... you little brat, you really favor beauty over friends!" Qiong Qi eyed the bell enviously, yet could do nothing about it.

"Haha, you want to take advantage? No way!" Ye Liuyun also laughed.

"Give it over!" Ye Liuyun reached out to ask Qiong Qi for something.

"Alas, I'm just destined to suffer!" Qiong Qi sighed, tossing the three newly modified treasures to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun inspected them one by one; Qiong Qi also handed over the foreign tribe's divine bow, having engraved the characters 'Vajra' on it.

"Vajra Divine Bow?" Ye Liuyun was quite pleased with the name; it suited his bone tile rather well.

He then stored all these treasures in his storage ring.

"How long do you plan to stay here?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi glanced around at the monster beasts' storage rings: "Treasure lies everywhere here; how could I bear to leave?"

Ye Liuyun smiled, knowing he was still scheming to take those monster beasts' storage rings.

"Look at your little bit of ambition!"

Ye Liuyun then went on to explain his current situation and the rampage of the Foreign Tribe in the south.

Qiong Qi, hearing that, also put away his teasing expression.

"The Foreign Tribe really can't be wiped out!" He sighed and said to Ye Liuyun, "Wait for me, I'll go out with you!"

Saying that, he began to wildly collect these Monster Beast's Storage Rings.

However, this time he didn't take them all, but only gathered whatever he could use.

Ye Liuyun also threw all the high-rank exotic scale armor he had collected to Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi suddenly said to Ye Liuyun, "You said you now have a big army? How about I rustle up a batch of exotic scale armor for you? The defense of these exotic scale armors is far better than that of those high-rank armors!"

"Of course that's great!" Ye Liuyun naturally agreed.

"Then you have to pay me, right?" Qiong Qi started teasing again.

Ye Liuyun also laughed, "Take whatever you want here, I promise not to expose you!"

"You... are so shameless!" Qiong Qi cursed, then continued to "gather" resources.
