372: A family should be together.

Until the seventh bottle of Spirit Beast essence blood.

Jiang Ning stopped.

Shen Jinhuan, who had her eyes closed and a pained expression, was startled. She frowned tightly, slightly displeased.

“Revered Master, why did you stop?”

“If you continue, your body won't be able to handle it.”

Jiang Ning sighed.

Shen Jinhuan insisted fiercely, “I can, and I want more!”

Jiang Ning put away the essence blood.

“Be good, let's talk about it next time. First, you need to digest what you've absorbed this time. Body Refining is not achieved overnight.”

The little girl was determined.

These seven bottles of Spirit Beast essence blood, combined with the previous Spirit Beast essence blood, once Fusion was complete, would likely allow her to directly Breakthrough to the “Middle Stage of the Golden Body,” capable of Fighting a Mid Golden Core Stage cultivator.

However, Jiang Ning had been covering the little girl with his Divine Sense. If she continued refining, hidden dangers would be left in her body.

Just eliminating these hidden dangers would take a while, making the effort not worthwhile.

Jiang Ning suddenly recalled that in the original novel, the Demoness Shen Jinhuan had damaged her physical Foundation due to excessive “pulling up sprouts to help them grow,” and the Female Lead and Male Lead had exploited this weakness to defeat Shen Jinhuan.

He sighed.

Shen Jinhuan did not speak again.

Another day passed.

Shen Jinhuan finally woke up.

Jiang Ning quickly asked, “How is it? How is your body? Does it hurt? Are you injured anywhere?”

Shen Jinhuan shook her head.

“No.”

Jiang Ning felt relieved. He asked again, “How many Spirit Beast Totems have been lit up on the myriad beast atlas?”

“Twenty-five Spirit Beast Totems have been lit up.”

As Shen Jinhuan spoke, she took a step forward. Behind her, illusory Blue Butterfly Wings materialized, along with the Phantoms of a Dragon and a Tiger.

Every phantom surrounding her protected her. Shen Jinhuan lightly snorted, retracting these Spirit Beast Totems back into her body. Her aura was restrained; her body had already stepped into the Middle Stage of the Golden Body.

Looking at Shen Jinhuan, Jiang Ning felt that she was like an Unparalleled Spiritual Artifact.

With this level of physical strength, even he, without Spiritual Qi protection, would be smashed to death by the little girl.

“Not bad!”

Jiang Ning took out another Storage Ring and handed it to Shen Jinhuan. “Huanhuan, inside is a set of fire phoenix armor. Although it's not the close-fitting dress you usually wear, putting it on during battle will definitely benefit your Combat Power!”

Shen Jinhuan hadn't expected another gift.

The myriad beast atlas alone was already priceless, let alone the Spirit Beast essence blood with special Bloodlines.

Jiang Ning definitely spent a lot of money on this trip outside.

Shen Jinhuan's consciousness entered the Storage Ring.

Seeing the set of Fiery Red Armor floating inside the Storage Ring, she immediately fell in love with it.

With a thought.

The fire phoenix armor was summoned, attaching piece by piece to Shen Jinhuan, even including a Helmet.

The majestic red Helmet was etched with Dark Gold Patterns, completely covering her face.

At this moment, the eyes visible through the Faceplate were golden, revealing a sense of divinity.

Inside the armor.

As Shen Jinhuan looked at Jiang Ning through the visor of the Faceplate, she discovered that the armor even had a certain Illusion-breaking Function.

“Revered Master, set up an Illusion Formation, a lower level one.”

Jiang Ning complied.

After trying it, Shen Jinhuan said, “The Divine Eyes equipped in this armor can see through Illusion Formations below the fourth tier. It will be extremely useful during battle!”

“It has such a function?”

Jiang Ning was surprised. The Maid at the Great Qian Myriad Treasures Pavilion hadn't mentioned it.

Perhaps, in her eyes, this was just an insignificant minor feature.

Jiang Ning suddenly thought: If the armor also had an Artifact Spirit, combined with numerous functions, could it achieve “Artifact Spirit Intelligence”?

“Jarvis...”

Jiang Ning laughed involuntarily.

Why was he thinking so much?

In the courtyard, the little girl really liked this set of armor.

Shen Jinhuan now truly felt the urge to find a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator and fight. Now, having Dual Cultivated in both Body Refining and cultivation methods, her physical strength and Spiritual Qi intensity had both reached the Mid Golden Core Stage level.

Coupled with this armor.

Fighting a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator should not be a problem.

“Eh?”

Shen Jinhuan voiced her confusion.

Where her Divine Sense reached.

From the fire phoenix armor, streaks of Phoenix Plumes shot out. The Phoenix Plumes were sharp and instantly formed a Fiery Red Long Whip.

Subsequently, they combined again.

Longswords, Long Spears, Straight Blades, Shuttle Knives, Daggers... Shen Jinhuan was utterly shocked by this armor, which surpassed the standards of the Xuanhuang Domain Region.

She directly formed the Phoenix Plumes into a Soft Sword.

Holding it in her hand, she carefully examined it.

“These Phoenix Plumes are truly miraculous in their myriad transformations.”

Jiang Ning was also a bit shocked.

But as the Revered Master, one must always remain composed.

“It's just that the qing huan sword is starting to fall behind.”

Shen Jinhuan sighed internally.

This Soft Sword was given to her by Jiang Ning. She had always used it. Later on, even though the Soft Sword wasn't very effective, she still kept it fastened at her waist.

Just as she thought of this.

She saw Jiang Ning take out another Soft Sword.

Shen Jinhuan's eyes lit up.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “I've been thinking of you. I figured that qing huan sword's grade was too low, so this time, I found you another one.”

Shen Jinhuan took off the fire phoenix armor and caught the Soft Sword.

She swung it a few times.

Afterwards, she placed it inside the Storage Ring.

Shen Jinhuan suddenly rushed towards Jiang Ning, flying steadily into his embrace.

“Huanhuan thanks Revered Master~”

The little girl's voice was sweet, completely different from her outward image.

Jiang Ning's cheeks felt hot.

The little girl was no longer flat-chested like before; now, her figure could definitely be described as curvaceous.

Now that she had rushed into him, her body felt soft.

Jiang Ning, a Lifelong Bachelor, immediately couldn't handle it.

If Shen Jinhuan were placed on Earth, she would absolutely be the Goddess among goddesses.

He really... Jiang Ning awkwardly gave a loose hug, laughing, “Alright, alright... Xiaobai is still refining the essence blood. Let's go check on Xiaobai first.”

“Okay!”

Shen Jinhuan let go of Jiang Ning.

She did it on purpose.

Noticing Jiang Ning's shyness, Shen Jinhuan was delighted.

In the past, when she hugged Revered Master, Revered Master only treated her like a child, patting the back of her head and then her back—no different from coaxing a kid.

Now, Revered Master was blushing and flustered. This could only mean that Revered Master realized she was an adult—an adult who... could engage in lovemaking between a man and a woman... Shen Jinhuan immediately hugged Jiang Ning's arm.

Pretending to be innocent, she asked, “Revered Master, what's wrong with Xiaobai?”

Jiang Ning felt the sensation on his arm.

His body immediately grew hot.

He originally wanted to pull his arm away, but seeing the little girl's innocent look, he immediately cursed himself as a “beast.” How could he look at the world through biased eyes!

He would needlessly hurt the little girl.

Jiang Ning explained, “I found some Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood. Xiaobai is currently absorbing it. If she can Awaken the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, her strength will also jump forward.

Most importantly, Xiaobai's future potential will be higher. At the very least, reaching the Deity Transformation Realm is definitely possible. After that, if she finds other Heaven And Earth Treasures, Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension won't be out of the question.”

Shen Jinhuan's eyes brightened.

She viewed Xiaobai as a younger sister, even though Xiaobai was older than her.

Naturally, she didn't want Xiaobai to fall behind; she wanted her to continue walking with them.

A family must be united; they cannot be separated.

Shen Jinhuan tilted her head, looked up at Jiang Ning, and thought silently in her heart.
