What a stroke of genius! With just one sentence from his sister, Lin Yuan revealed all his secrets!

"I... I..."

Chen Ruoxi looked into Lin Ke'er's pure, flawless eyes. Her lips moved, but she didn't know how to speak.

Should she tell this innocent little girl, "Your brother shut me out and won't let me in"?

That was too embarrassing!

However, Lin Ke'er seemed to see through her awkwardness.

She sighed with an air of maturity beyond her years, then, with an "I understand" expression, whispered.

"Sister Chen, are you here to find my brother?"

"And were you stopped by those two wooden-headed guards at the door who lack any sense of tact?"

Chen Ruoxi's pretty face instantly turned red to the tips of her ears.

She could only nod in embarrassment.

"Sigh!"

Lin Ke'er sighed again, patted Chen Ruoxi's hand like a little adult, and comforted her.

"Sister Chen, don't worry! And don't blame them!"

"It must be that lazy brother of mine who gave the order again! He does nothing but sleep all day and hates being disturbed!"

"But, Sister Chen, don't worry!"

"My brother loves me the most! I'll go tell him! He'll definitely see you!"

Lin Ke'er said this while patting her own chest, promising with absolute certainty.

"No, that's really not necessary. I came here just to ask a few small questions..."

Chen Ruoxi shook her head.

"What questions? Tell me, Sister Chen, and I'll go talk to my brother!"

Lin Ke'er, wise beyond her years, rolled her eyes as a plan formed in her mind.

"Are you sure?"

Chen Ruoxi was momentarily stunned.

"Of course!"

Lin Ke'er tilted her head and gave her word.

Seeing her say this, Chen Ruoxi thought about it and decided to take a gamble; if she left now, she would ultimately feel some regret.

Thus, she told Lin Ke'er her questions one by one.

"Is that all? Wait for me here for a second!"

After speaking, Lin Ke'er didn't wait for Chen Ruoxi to react. She clutched the stack of Jade Slips and, like a gust of wind, ran back into the estate in a flash.

Chen Ruoxi looked at that small yet incredibly reliable back, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Hope was ignited once again!

Deep inside the estate, in Lin Yuan's bedroom.

It was luxurious and spacious.

The floor was covered with the soft fur of an unknown exotic beast.

Lin Yuan was lying face down on the soft beast-skin sofa, looking completely devoid of any image.

In his left hand, he held a spirit fruit that exuded a rich fragrance, taking bites here and there.

His right hand was constantly swiping through the Void Realm.

Before him, the System panel, which only he could see, was constantly refreshing with notifications.

Mm, comfortable.

This is what life is all about.

Just then.

Bang!

The bedroom door was pushed open violently.

Lin Ke'er, like a little cannonball, rushed in and pounced directly onto Lin Yuan's back.

"Brother! Brother! Get up quickly! Stop sleeping!"

Lin Ke'er shook Lin Yuan's arm, acting like a spoiled brat.

"What is it..."

Lin Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, muttering indistinctly.

"Don't bother me, I'm busy."

"Brother!" Lin Ke'er was relentless. "When I was studying the Formation recently, I discovered a big problem!"

"I feel like Artifact Refining and Formation have a huge connection! Especially that... that artifact spirit! Yes! That's it, the artifact spirit! It feels just like the core of a Formation!"

"Tell me quickly, how exactly is an artifact spirit conceived? Does it also require carving many, many complex runes?"

Lin Ke'er blinked her big eyes, her face full of a thirst for "knowledge."

This was the "perfect" excuse she had thought of on the way!

She wouldn't tell him that the pretty sister outside wanted to know!

If she did, her brother would definitely find it troublesome and just chase the person away!

"Artifact spirit?"

Lin Yuan's movement paused for a moment.

He finally deigned to shift his attention away from the System panel just a tiny bit.

Then, in an extremely impatient tone, as if he were shooing away a fly, he said casually:

"What's difficult about that thing?"

"To conceive an artifact spirit, you must use your own blood essence as a guide, dripping it into the refined Magical Artifact to establish the most basic connection."

"Then, integrate Heaven And Earth Treasure that matches the attributes of the Magical Artifact as nourishment for the artifact spirit to grow."

"Finally, use the 'Concentration Curse' and nourish it with Divine Thought for forty-nine days, and that's it. Alright, alright, stop bothering me, go play somewhere else."

After speaking, Lin Yuan rolled over, burying his head directly into the soft animal skin, and immediately, rhythmic breathing sounds could be heard.

It was as if those words had exhausted all his energy.

"..."

Lin Ke'er looked at her brother who had fallen asleep in seconds and stuck out her tongue helplessly.

However!

Mission accomplished!

She firmly memorized every single word her brother had just said.

Then, on tiptoes, she snuck out of the bedroom.

At the entrance of the estate.

When Lin Ke'er repeated Lin Yuan's original words exactly as they were to Chen Ruoxi.

Chen Ruoxi felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Blood essence as a guide!

Heaven And Earth Treasure as nourishment!

Nourishing with the Concentration Curse!

So... that was it!

So, it was actually like this!

All her previous attempts had been wrong from the very first step!

She had actually overlooked the most critical, and also the most basic step, "Blood essence as a guide"!

No wonder!

No wonder she couldn't succeed no matter what!

Suddenly enlightened!

The Bottleneck that had plagued her for days and nights shattered at this moment!

An unprecedented feeling of total comfort and clarity spread through every part of her body!

"Sister Ke'er!"

Chen Ruoxi excitedly grabbed Lin Ke'er's little hand, a bright, unprecedented smile blooming on her cold, pretty face.

"Thank you so much! Really... thank you so much!"

"You... you helped me with a huge favor!"

Lin Ke'er was startled by her enthusiasm and scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Hehe, Sister Chen, you don't need to thank me, it was all said by my brother."

"Your brother?"

The smile on Chen Ruoxi's face froze slightly.

She looked at Lin Ke'er's innocent face and said softly, in a voice like a dream.

"Yes..."

"Your brother..."

"He is truly... too amazing!"
