86: Chapter 083: Spiritual Lotus Green Lotus Armor 86: Chapter 083: Spiritual Lotus Green Lotus Armor Time, as if it would never pass, had finally stabilized the realm completely.

Only after the effects of the lotus seeds faded did Zhou Yan stand up, holding Feng Lingqing in his arms.

They had battled for countless rounds already.

“Young Master, such precious elixirs should be kept by you.

With these, your status within the Li Family would surely rise even higher,” Feng Lingqing affectionately said while leaning in Zhou Yan’s embrace.

“Silly girl, your Qi Jie has already reached five, and it’s extremely stable.

This way, you can cultivate alongside me in the future.

How wonderful is that?

You are so beautiful, I can’t bear to be parted from you!

So, from now on, don’t say such things.”

“Young Master…”

Feng Lingqing’s eyes brimmed with boundless love once more.

“From now on, as long as you don’t leave me by your own will, I will cherish you all my life.

Whatever good things I have, I’ll share them with you, so we can advance together.”

“Young Master, Lingqing is already yours, for life after life.

Even if I were to be transformed into Tribulation Ash, that ash would still drift wherever Young Master goes,” Feng Lingqing said, her emotions running high.

Zhou Yan could feel her sincerity, and his heart was touched beyond words, leaving him to express his feelings through actions.

…

The endless lotus leaves once again connected heaven and earth.

Zhou Yan, sensing the lotus leaves between heaven and earth, continuously speculated about the knowledge related to arrays.

“Lingqing, when the lotus leaves bloom this time, a black light will appear.

We’ll enter the black light, and that should allow us to leave.

The time…

will probably be about three days more.”

“Mhm.

Young Master, you…

even master the sword array so impressively.

Young Master, you are the most genius talent in the world.

Lingqing has seen many geniuses at the Li Family, but none can compare to you.

Even that genius Ji Taixu from Wangchuan Mansion at the True Spirit level is no match for you,” Feng Lingqing said with immense happiness.

From her initial unease and humility, she now followed Zhou Yan with ease, and her mindset had undergone a series of changes.

If initially it was only about obedience and guardianship, now it was a mindset of ‘sharing life and death together.’

She did not raise her status akin to that of a maid; she always remembered her identity.

But she would also devote herself wholeheartedly to the Young Master, sparing no expense for everything.

As long as—the Young Master could be happy and joyful.

With such a mindset and having become the Young Master’s ‘beloved concubine,’ with the Young Master cherishing her so greatly, what more could she yearn for?

If one day she died, then even if she set a myriad of wishes, she must become the Young Master’s Sword Spirit, following him forever, never to part.

This was Feng Lingqing’s thought ever since Zhou Yan had spoken about advancing together on the path of cultivation; her ideas had taken root.

Now, her heart was filled with increased amazement at Zhou Yan’s performance.

Previously, she thought the complicated Gathering Spirit Sword Formation that Zhou Yan condensed was carried by a Secret Treasure.

Only now had she realized in shock that her Young Master was also a genius Array Sword Cultivator!

“Heh heh, I actually think so too.

Hmm, we’re about to leave, and naturally, we can’t go out like this.

Just in time, I have condensed powerful Thunder Fire, so let’s use these admirable lotus leaves to craft a few sets of Spirit Armor!

These lotus leaves are exceptional, and whatever we craft will certainly be much stronger than that Wind Spirit Dust-Proof Armor.

From now on, Lingqing, you won’t have to worry about your Spirit Armor shattering and your body being seen by others,” Zhou Yan proclaimed proudly.

“…Young Master, you…

you can refine artifacts too?

You’re an Artifact Sword Cultivator?”

“Yes!”

Zhou Yan nodded seriously, and Feng Lingqing was stunned speechless.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yan felt especially pleased.

“Young Master, because Spirit Armor is made uniquely, if it’s shattered, it still conceals the body and doesn’t reveal it.

It was just that the mysterious killing intent this time was too powerful, shattering our Spirit Armor to nothingness, which led us to this state…” Feng Lingqing gently explained.

…

A wisp of Purple Thunderflame was used for refining the artifacts; it was extremely demanding.

Zhou Yan had a vast amount of Life Energy from this environment to supplement him, and with the replenishment of his Giant Sword Soul’s pure Soul Power, the process was incredibly arduous.

Fortunately, the effect of the Purple Flame Thunder Fire was astonishingly strong.

Despite being just a wisp, when it came to melting the exceptional lotus leaves and lotus pods, it was still very fast.

Once melted, the procedure that followed was relatively simpler.

Zhou Yan did not hesitate, and making use of the Sword Furnace that had been condensed by the Soul Ability within the Void, he set to work right away.

The greatest advantage of learning Xingyi Fist was that the Soul Giant Sword’s energy could transform and derive all things.

Although Zhou Yan could control only a limited amount of Soul Energy now, the total condensation of it to produce an Artifact Refining Furnace posed no significant issue.

This originally also tested Zhou Yan’s soul control abilities.

Now, with Zhou Yan’s soul incomparably strong and the backup reserves of soul energy, combined with various heavenly abilities enhanced by nature and the world, Zhou Yan naturally let go and proceeded to do so.

In fact, apart from his own soul energy condensing the Artifact Refining Furnace being able to withstand this trace of Purple Flame, it’s feared that nothing else could tolerate the might of such Purple Flame.

Zhou Yan exhausted endless control abilities, only then did he manage, with extreme difficulty, to slowly melt the lotus pod and Lotus Leaf with the Purple Flame, and then engraved the Sword Array with his own soul energy.

This time, Zhou Yan engraved the Seven Stars Sword Formation.

This Sword Array possessed defensive and protective effects, but since it was after all soul energy, Zhou Yan was uncertain of the specific outcome.

Even with his excellent recovery ability and backup soul energy reserves, the process was still extraordinarily difficult.

Zhou Yan’s will was resolute, the more difficult the task, the more he gritted his teeth to complete it.

The difficulty of crafting the artifact far exceeded imagination, but he still tirelessly continued refining.

Fortunately, what gave Zhou Yan some solace was that, within such a refining process, Zhou Yan vaguely felt that the Thunder Fire Purple Flame hadn’t depleted at all, but instead seemed to grow stronger as the lotus seeds and Lotus Leaf refined.

Moreover, the Purple Flame that Zhou Yan controlled, if not managed, would dissipate spontaneously and inexplicably gather inside the soul.

Thus, Zhou Yan didn’t have to worry that once the Purple Flame left or disappeared, it would no longer exist.

It seemed that the Purple Flame had already completely integrated with his soul.

…

As Zhou Yan refined artifacts, the watching Feng Lingqing couldn’t help but start to marvel with astonishment in her beautiful eyes.

Despite already imagining Zhou Yan as a peerless genius unrivaled in Heaven and Earth, upon seeing the terrifying Purple Flame before her, she still felt an uncontrollable sense of dread, as if such flames, if they made contact with her, would surely cause her to instantaneously turn to ash!

Even though she was a powerful Cultivator of the Sword Spirit Three Heavens!

To be of the Sword Spirit Three Heavens, even within the Li Family, was a very formidable existence.

With her own strength and the talent of a single Qi Column with five Qi Jie, she still felt a deep sense of fear for this wisp of flame, and this uncontrollable feeling emerged even when her whole heart was entrusted to, and reliant on, the young master!

How terrified would outsiders be?!

Young Master…

It seemed there had been a tremendous transformation in the Great Zhou Family’s Sword Origin Pool, becoming even more of a genius than before!

Such a genius, such an outstandingly graceful and peerless man, had given his first time to her…

Thinking of this, Feng Lingqing couldn’t help but show an extremely blissful smile.

Even when observing the incredibly dangerous Purple Flame at this moment, she felt that the sense of danger was also so beautiful.

As she watched, her heart sweetened, and she couldn’t help but be infatuated.

…

“Done!”

A burst of Purple Flame suddenly extinguished and entered Zhou Yan’s body, and he couldn’t help but let out a deep breath of relief.

This first time refining had nearly exhausted him physically and mentally.

The feeling of reaching his limits repeatedly assaulted his body until, in the end, he felt as light as a feather, his head heavy and feet light.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, finally completing the refining of this piece of Spirit Armor within half a day.

This Spirit Armor had no particularly advanced abilities, and its capabilities were no different than the Wind Spirit Dust-Evasion Armor, but it added a layer of the Seven Stars Sword Formation’s defensive and protective powers.

Such capabilities could actually better combine with the powerful defensive abilities of the lotus pod and Lotus Leaf, bringing forth better protective strength.

“Young Master, have you finished refining already?

I’ve seen Li Family Artifact Sword Cultivators take at least three to five days, if not many months, to refine artifacts!”

Feng Lingqing was once again shocked.

Her young master, her man seemed to possess many techniques; his stunning abilities, once known to all, will certainly shock the world!

To be adored by such a man, even if she were to die at this moment, she would feel her life was worth it.

Filled with joy, Feng Lingqing spoke with a trembling voice.

Zhou Yan chuckled softly and said in a gentle tone, “This first Spirit Armor, come, try it, Lingqing—ah, you should prepare yourself, it’s very heavy.”

“Mm…

Young Master, you’re really kind.”

Feng Lingqing nodded happily, without any rejection.

She had already understood Zhou Yan’s character, he liked her best when she was compliant.

Therefore, without hesitation and very obediently, she readied herself and channeled boundless Sword Spirit energy into her hands, delightedly receiving the piece of Spirit Armor.

Even deploying ninety percent of her Sword Spirit Spiritual Energy, as soon as the pitch-black Spirit Armor touched her hands, they immediately sank heavily.

“Eh, so heavy!”

Feng Lingqing was only being obedient, but she had never imagined that a piece of Spirit Armor could be so heavy, and the surprise made her freeze in shock!

This Spirit Armor, was it not like a mountain range?

How could anyone wear it?
