This whip is specially for striking disobedient little devils!

After the essence binding rope was refined, Lin Yuan weighed it in satisfaction.

With a thought, the dark golden long whip flashed with spiritual light, transforming into a bracelet that docilely wrapped around his wrist.

"Hmm, the essence binding rope, for binding Essence Spirits and evil fiends, no problem."

Lin Yuan evaluated it with a serious expression, but chuckled to himself, "This whip can bind demonesses, shackle devil women, and even subdue disobedient little demonesses. It's proper and useful, perfect."

However, this treasure is ultimately a control-type Magical Artifact. Against true life-and-death combat, it still lacks a sharp, offensive killer move.

With a slight stir of his mind, the Grand Void Sword Art flowed through his thoughts like water.

The Sword Art is divided into multiple parts. During the Qi Refinement Stage, in addition to opening three Meridians to reach the Twelfth Layer of Qi Refining, there is also the Divine Path Foundation Establishment method.

After Foundation Establishment, the Sword Art includes a set of Flying Sword refining techniques called "six harmonies."

This method has extremely strict requirements.

One must find six rare Materials of the same origin and type, refine them simultaneously, and achieve unity of mind and spirit to forge six Flying Swords with interconnected spiritual essence.

Once the Flying Swords are formed, two distinctly different ultimate Sword Arts can be unleashed.

The first is called "Heavenly Waterfall Sword Rain."

Once this technique is unleashed, the six Flying Swords can draw upon Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, manifesting hundreds and thousands of Sword Qi phantoms, like the Nine Heavens' Milky Way pouring down. Sword Qi falls like a torrential rain, instantly covering a large area.

The only drawback is the terrifying consumption of magical power.

"A typical Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator would probably be drained after using it once."

"But I... with Divine Path Foundation Establishment, my magical power is as vast as the sea, perfectly suited for it."

Lin Yuan's lips curved into an uncontrollable smile.

The second is called "Grand Void Sword Formation."

With all six swords unleashed, a Sword Formation is set up, and Sword Qi transforms into invisible threads, sealing off a space.

Those who enter the formation, no matter how strong their Bronze Skin Realm and iron bones, will be cut into dust by the pervasive Sword Qi.

Lin Yuan had already made up his mind, his gaze falling upon the remains of the fifth-grade Yao Beast, the Frost Bone Flood Dragon, in his Storage Pouch.

Four ferocious flood dragon claws, two eerie flood dragon horns.

Not too many, not too few, exactly six items.

All are items of extreme Yin and extreme cold, perfectly meeting the requirement of "same origin and type"!

He no longer hesitated and immediately took out all the Materials.

"Rise!"

Lin Yuan let out a low shout, and under the control of his mind, the wisp of Earth Core Nether Fire surged violently!

The flame then split into six, forming six fist-sized fireballs with eerily dark blue cores, precisely enveloping the four flood dragon claws and two flood dragon horns separately.

Refining six supreme grade Magical Artifacts at once!

This placed demands on Divine Sense and Fire Control Technique that were almost abnormal.

Any Sixth-Grade Artifact Refiner would have to proceed cautiously, one by one, fearing a lapse in concentration.

But the six harmonies sword, precisely because of this method, could achieve spiritual commonality and double its power.

The eerie blue flames licked the flood dragon remains, emitting soft "sizzling" sounds, and wisps of black Impurities were rapidly refined away.

The main body of the Materials in the flames gradually became crystal clear, emitting a bone-chilling cold that seemed capable of freezing the Divine Soul.

When all the Materials were purified, transforming into six glowing masses of liquid radiating an eerie cold light, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Combine!"

Dragon Teeth, Dragon Bones, Profound Iron, Mithril, Cold Star Sand, and more than a dozen other auxiliary Materials instantly flew in like birds returning to their nest, perfectly merging into the six liquid masses.

The sword embryos slowly took shape.

Lin Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, rapidly drawing in the Void Realm before him. Intricate runes, indiscernible to the naked eye, formed out of thin air and were freely instilled into the sword embryos.

Sharp Metal Rune!

Swift Wind Seal!

Armor Piercing Charm!

"Condense!"

Buzz—!

An indescribable sharpness suddenly erupted from his room, instantly piercing through the senluo bone boat's own protective Restriction!

The originally clear sky, at some unknown point, had turned dim.

Six cold stars, brighter and colder than actual stars, suddenly appeared, arrayed far off, emitting visible Sword Intent that streaked across the sky!

In the deepest part of the senluo bone boat.

Old Ancestor Xuan Yin, who was meditating in the endless blood mist, suddenly opened his cloudy eyes, shooting out two terrifying divine lights that seemed to penetrate the Void Realm and gaze directly into the Nine Heavens!

"Good boy..."

A difficult-to-suppress look of surprise and admiration appeared on his old face, which resembled dried tree bark.

"Proficient in both alchemy and Artifact Refining, his Luck is far beyond what this Old Ancestor anticipated! Refining mere Magical Artifacts can actually trigger the phenomenon of six stars shining in the sky..."

"With such talent and such Luck... if Zheng'er could have him as a Dao Companion, why would the Nascent Soul Dao not be achieved?"

Old Ancestor Xuan Yin slowly closed his eyes, but the smile at the corner of his mouth grew even wider.

Meanwhile, on the deck.

Gu Zheng also sensed the unusual Spiritual Qi fluctuation. Her figure flickered, and she appeared on the deck, looking up at the sky. Her clear phoenix eyes reflected the six slowly dissipating cold stars.

"Senior Sister, who exactly is this Lin Yuan?" Li Xinghe's figure appeared beside her, his expression solemn.

As a Personal Disciple of Old Ancestor Xuan Yin, his vision was far beyond that of ordinary Cultivators. He could tell at a glance that such an anomaly was definitely not the kind of display that occurs when ordinary supreme grade Magical Artifacts are born.

"Who cares? We'll know if we go take a look!" Shi Tai said gruffly, his large, fan-like hands already eager.

Bai Yixuan gently fanned himself, a deep light flashing in his eyes before he returned to his gentle demeanor: "Let's go. To be able to trigger six stars shining in the sky, this Junior Brother Lin, proficient in both alchemy and Artifact Refining, is truly rare."

Gu Zheng didn't speak, merely silently led the way towards Lin Yuan's room.

Just as the four arrived outside the door, Lin Yuan's slightly tired voice came from inside: "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, I apologize. I just finished refining a Magical Artifact and consumed too much mental energy. It's really inconvenient to receive guests."

The four outside the door, in the Yin Corpse Sect, were all favored prodigies, like stars surrounded by the moon. When had they ever been so directly refused entry?

For a moment, the atmosphere was subtly awkward.

Lin Yuan in the room was indeed a bit tired, but more than that, he felt a refreshing exhilaration. He was admiring the six gleaming Flying Swords suspended before him.

"Since Junior Brother Lin needs to rest, we won't disturb him. We'll visit again later." Li Xinghe was the first to speak, breaking the deadlock.

He took a deep look at the tightly closed stone door, his gaze complex, then turned and left.

The other few exchanged glances and could only temporarily give up... Lin Yuan slept soundly and refreshed.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

He mused that with the six harmonies Flying Swords forged and the essence binding rope in hand, he now had both offense and control.

He still had a pile of Frost Bone Flood Dragon scales left, which would be perfect for refining a set of close-fitting inner armor. With such integrated offense and defense, it would be foolproof.

In addition, he also needed to refine a portable, simplified version of the Nine Nether Bewildering Array, easy to set up and use wherever he went.

However, before he could start, the Restriction outside his room was triggered.

Li Xinghe's deliberately lowered voice came through: "Brother Lin, are you awake?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he waved his hand, removing the Restriction.

The stone door opened, and Li Xinghe, dressed in a black robe with a cool demeanor, walked in, closing the door behind him.

His cool expression vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.

"Brother Lin, what excellent methods, truly excellent methods! Proficient in both alchemy and Artifact Refining, I am truly impressed!"

This guy was as cold as ice yesterday, but today he was overly enthusiastic.

And what was with the way he was looking at him?

That gaze was mixed with shock, curiosity, and even a hint of... admiration?

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Could this guy be... "Cough cough..." Seemingly realizing his impropriety, Li Xinghe quickly reined in his expression, solemnly cupped his fist towards Lin Yuan, adopting a very humble posture.

"Brother Lin, to be frank, your Junior Brother here... has a favor to ask!"
