Left with no choice, he drew two more litres from himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After acquiring two Seventh Realm Five Thunder Talismans, Li Jing’s back was drenched with sweat and he was panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From two finished talisman he had struggled nearly a hundred times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fully demonstrated how demanding it is to make high-grade talismans...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy Li Jing expended during this time was almost negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the effort invested in full concentration was far more exhausting than duelling with hundreds of female demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hours had passed during this procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had not been for the fact that the time for talisman making, regardless of success or failure, was so short, he wouldn’t have had to keep practicing the cultivation method for the whole process, and he might have needed even more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even in the desolate Earth Realm, he had to avoid attracting overpowering amounts of thunder elemental spirit energy due to his own presence, causing an overly drastic change in heavenly phenomena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was almost dark and he had only just managed to refine two Seventh Realm Five Thunder Talismans, Li Jing took a breather and started to make Sixth Realm talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not plan on making Fifth Realm talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was already at the late stage of the Fifth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Liu Sisi was still at the late stage of the Fourth Realm, she had the ability to fight against the Fifth Realm, even kill those in the early stages of the Fifth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So making Fifth Realm Talisman for the two of them didn’t seem meaningful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of making a Sixth Realm Talisman was much less than that of a Seventh Realm Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the success rate of Zhou Tian Talisman was still touching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly seven hours, Li Jing successfully refined ten Sixth Realm Five Thunder Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On average, he succeeded once for every fifteen attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried refining Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans, and the success rate was slightly higher than Five Thunder Talisman, but the power was significantly less and it couldn’t summon special types of thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this refining session, Li Jing had to draw blood again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any common Talisman Master, they would have long since collapsed from exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with his strong physique and rapid blood regeneration, replenishing two litres of blood in minutes, could he avoid feeling dizzy from anemia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-level cultivators don’t die that easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the impact of significant blood loss was inevitable and needed replenishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus ten Sixth Realm Five Thunder Talismans and two Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans of his own, almost all the talisman materials he had prepared were consumed, and the special spiritual pen for making talismans, which was equally expensive, now had split ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the spiritual pen in his hand, which clearly wouldn’t last for more than a few uses before wearing out, and then at the remaining half bottle of blood which was about two hundred millilitres, Li Jing tilted his head and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking into consideration the remaining materials on hand and the lifespan of the spiritual pen, he could probably make about ten more attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he tried to make another Five Thunder Talisman, it would be uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a problem to draw something else, but there wasn’t much point in doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to make Five Thunder Talismans because controlling the talisman law of the Five Thunder Punishment would also be influenced to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had many talismans that he could draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was, what would be the point of drawing any other talisman when he already had a Seventh Realm Five Thunder Talisman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to draw a World Thunder Punishment Talisman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing has always been a man of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he has an idea, he immediately put it into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Li Jing picked up a piece of yellow paper and threw it in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his first attempt, he did not get too ambitious and chose the Fifth Realm standard for a Forbidden Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the pen touched down, the world suddenly turned turbid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s arm stiffened, and he looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that trying to draw a World Thunder Punishment Talisman would cause a celestial phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon closer examination, he was reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to when he personally enacted the Fifth Realm’s World Thunder Punishment, this anomaly was relatively weak and there was no congregation of heavenly might, it was just right to be concealed by the swirling clouds above his head that had gathered and dispersed countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again at the piece of yellow paper in front of him, which had received its stroke but had not exploded and could even be said to be stable, the light in the depths of Li Jing’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feasible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s limit breakthrough skill given by the max-level Zhou Tian Talisman could not be directly drawn into a talisman, it could only be drawn by disassembling the skill. However, there was no indication that drawing a Forbidden Skill Talisman was unfeasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s draw first to see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing started drawing once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few strokes went down in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow paper exploded, the drawing failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The failure did not discourage Li Jing. He picked up another piece of yellow paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to draw so many strokes and cause a certain degree of heavenly phenomena has already fully demonstrated that the Forbidden Skill Talisman is feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If forbidden skills could be sealed into nuclear warheads, it was clear that the forbidden skill didn’t necessarily have to be directly supervised by someone who understood them in order to materialize in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new world was opening up in front of Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The act of drawing a forbidden skill was something he had never heard of before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, forbidden skills were not available to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entry-level talisman method already had a high threshold, let alone requiring the mastery of the forbidden skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, he might be the only one capable of doing this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing believed so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could act as the pioneer to test this, and open the door to this new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow paper kept exploding, and Li Jing failed again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining materials were fast depleting, and the spiritual pen in his hand was severely forked, it was about to be scrapped. He still couldn’t draw the World Thunder Punishment Talisman to its completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hope of success was very slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was just in the beginning stages of the drawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Jing didn’t give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of being stubborn, he wouldn’t lose to Chen Yuran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, picking up a piece of yellow paper, Li Jing decisively swung the spiritual pen in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his unconventional understanding and proficiency of forbidden skills, the spell formula of the World Thunder Punishment Talisman was rapidly constructed under his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the yellow paper that served as the carrier was very sturdy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no sign of any collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In not too long, the spell formula had reached its last stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Success!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was excited and pointed out the crucial last stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell formula was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could pray that everything went smoothly, the ominous clouds around his head suddenly changed drastically, revealing the devastating aura of the heavenly power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s eyebrows furrowed as he raised his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had finished drawing the talisman, but why had heaven’s wrath manifested itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speculate, a thunderous rumble echoed across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt of lightning illuminated the world, plunging straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt of lightning, it was striking the talisman he had just completed drawing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Li Jing wanted to reach out and break up the lightning bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But realizing the underlying reasoning, he quickly retracted his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lightning bolt hit the completed talisman, the terrifying power created a shockwave that made Li Jing take a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden talisman slowly descended, guided by an invisible force, it drifted towards Li Jing and landed in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the talisman in his hand, Li Jing knew he had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon examining the Thunder Talisman, he was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This World Thunder Punishment Talisman can unleash a force near his maximum power at the fifth boundary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for him now, the power was a bit small,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if it was in Liu Sisi or Jiang Yini’s hands, it would be an ultimate weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one, compared to a seventh-level Five Thunder Righteous Method, was much more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, World Thunder Punishment was not a simple forbidden skill that ended with a single strike. Not only would it call a million heavenly thunders to eradicate all living creatures, but it would also continue for a period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced it, Li Jing packed up the remaining little materials and the completely scrapped spiritual pen, and slipped back into the Little Universe. He activated Silent Shadow and transformed into a streak of lightning heading towards the heart of the God Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of the final formation of the talisman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did a trace of heavenly wrath appear, but also a bolt of lightning fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was currently in a desolate place, no one could guarantee that no one would notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a good idea to stay in this place for long, better to leave first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going around in a big circle, Li Jing sneaked back to the place where he did his work to see that no one had come to inspect it, and then he confidently set off on his way back to West Asia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through, his phone in his pocket vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he noticed the movement, Li Jing spontaneously stopped mid-air while flying, and took out his phone with a guilty conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing it, it was a message from Jiang Yini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the God Kingdom noticed something, and then confirmed it was him through the official ID in his pocket?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he was indeed in the territory of the God Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making such a big commotion, even if it didn’t affect the public’s life, it was still unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With trepidation, he opened the message and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Jing, where have you gone?

You both take them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was staring intently at the location of the Secret Realm Passage wondering what had happened, and Liu Sisi felt awkward as she couldn’t add anything to the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, Li Jing took out a pile of talismans saying they were made by him, and both women were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women knew that Li Jing could refine artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, they were both surprised that he had this skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he says he can do Talisman Method...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the two women, but even Jiu Li was a bit confused when she heard that Li Jing could do Talisman Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three gazes were cast over, all three of them wide-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing in Li Jing’s hand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Products of Talisman Method, they could certainly tell at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the grade...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini and Liu Sisi couldn’t see through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Li was at the Late Six Realm, so she had some insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because she saw through it, she was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did she see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Seventh Realm talismans that gave her a chilling feeling from head to toe, and twelve Sixth Realm talismans that could directly threaten her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Li Jing, Jiu Li couldn’t believe what she was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These... did you make these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled and separated the talismans in his hands, evenly distributing the twelve Five Thunder Talismans and two Nine Heavens Talismans to the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they held the talismans in their hands, the two women, who could not see any clues with their naked eyes, immediately had a clear feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven each, one was Seventh Realm, the rest were Sixth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women were stunned on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the fourteen talismans in their hands combined, even if not all of their power could be wielded, destroying a small city in the blink of an eye wouldn’t be a problem if they were all thrown out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying power contained within them made them shudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two women were in shock, Li Jing took out the World Thunder Punishment Talisman and handed it to Jiu Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiu, you keep this one to ensure the safety of the Heavenly King Group’s exploration of the Secret Realm this time. Try not to use it unless necessary, and remember to protect the members of the Heavenly King Group when you use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Li was natural and straightforward, but she never coveted anything that wasn’t hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing took out a batch of talismans and divided them between Liu Sisi and Jiang Yini. She didn’t expect to get anything herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, to her surprise he took out one for her in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the golden glint on the whole World Thunder Punishment Talisman, Jiu Li’s eyes were almost falling out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This talisman was only of Fifth Boundary quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thing imprinted in it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was at Fifth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t see anything special about the talisman in her hand, but she could tell the Fifth Boundary quality of the World Thunder Punishment Talisman at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she was no longer calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talisman imprinted with a forbidden skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talismans created from forbidden skills, is that even possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini rubbed her eyes to confirm she wasn’t seeing things, but she didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How Li Jing did it was not important right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was important, was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing gave the World Thunder Punishment Talisman to Jiu Li, which was like giving her a mini nuclear bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully speaking, this was taboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention this World Thunder Punishment Talisman, the pile of talismans in her hand would be forbidden goods that Longyu strictly forbids from trading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the situation as it was, it wasn’t appropriate to bring this up openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even mentioning that Li Jing had been gone all day and brought back these talisman spells, who knows how much he sacrificed, his intentions were clear enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the talismans to her and Liu Sisi in the hope that they could protect themselves when he couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the World Thunder Punishment Talisman to Jiu Li to ensure the exploration of the Heavenly King Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight bite of her red lips, Jiang Yini chose to turn a blind eye and accept her seven talismans into her storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bunch, it’s really good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she stored her things, she didn’t forget to tell Liu Sisi and Jiu Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and take those things. They’re sharp and could poke someone’s eyes out. It’s not good if someone sees them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women looked at each other at the sound of the words and each put away their talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Li Jing again, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak, Li Jing made a silent gesture, signaling her not to ask any more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Sisi blinked twice and glanced at Jiang Yini and Jiu Li, she pulled on someone’s arm and stopped speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the two women uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sisi didn’t play along with them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to ask a question and suddenly she stopped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she stop, but she also seemed protective!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How excessive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though they were curious, they didn’t intend to ask any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Li Jing was one of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had been strange not just for a day or two, and they were used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the talisman, Jiang Yini remembered something else she hadn’t managed to get to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached into her pocket, pulling out a document bag and handed it to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember when I was in the Capital, I asked you to craft something for me? I almost forgot about it, these are the blueprints that you need\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini chimed in, and then pulled out a pile of spiritual materials from her storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are the materials, enough for you to attempt it ten times. Keep them for now and try to refine it when you have time, there’s no rush, just try to produce a finished product.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing naturally remembered the commitments he had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fact that artifact refining required blueprints was indeed unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artifacts that relied on blueprints were typically crafted piece by piece and then assembled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was much harder than ordinary artifact refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such an artifact, each part was essentially a refining process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were there strict quality requirements, but there were also stringent standards for the somewhat random shapes of the artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these kinds of artifacts often addressed many potential shapes to avoid issues with incompatible shapes after successful refining, how could anyone predict every possibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the pile of materials that Jiang Yini had taken out, which had formed a small hill, Li Jing accepted the document bag with a strange look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was immediately taken aback when he felt the thickness of the documents inside the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workload was inevitably huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the bag and taking out the documents, Li Jing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more than thirty blueprints in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each blueprint had designs for three to five components and anticipated various assembly shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without having to look too closely, it was clear that at least 150 refinements were needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the final product, it was a standard Immortal Item class anti-material sniper rifle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it was a cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the final product was designed like an anti-material sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once assembled, including the cannon barrel, it was over ten meters long, with a caliber of forty-nine centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Centimeters, not millimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Sisi, standing by Li Jing’s side, curiously checked the blueprints along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Li leaned in and checked together with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the final product, Liu Sisi gave Jiang Yini a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Yini, this design is by the Research Institute, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s correct, but the product was made to my personal specifications.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini smiled, then glanced at Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The workload is a bit heavy, can you handle it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no issue, but I can’t guarantee that the materials you’ve provided are enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary refining, the workload and standards would be enough to keep several artefact refiners busy for a year or a half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s Heaven’s Creation Skill is quite fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really put his mind to it, it would probably only take him a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was the materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The standards for the assembled object were too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Jing never fails, ten attempts might not necessarily result in a successfully refined component that meets the design expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m aware of the material situation, you start refining when you have time, when there’s no enough I’ll buy more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini said so, and added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not in a hurry for this, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish her sentence, Li Jing interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I step in, I think I can finish it in a few days, you can take advantage of the time outside to prepare more materials, I can help you sort it out when I have time in the Secret Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was taken aback and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you can finish it in a few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you trust me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini blinked, nodded, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll contact the people from the God Kingdom later and ask them to help me buy some more from the Spirit Item Trading Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded, and then added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, the object in this blueprint seems to require a formation to construct a core that connects all the parts to make it complete.
