495: Refined the companion artifact for Honglan and the other four

Gu Qing's divine sense swept across the Starry Sky. Most of the peak lords were in seclusion, while the rest were managing the sect's operations.

It seemed the matter of transmitting the Dharma could only be arranged later.

"Master..."

Mo Ziyun's beautiful eyes held strong emotion as she softly called out, "Master."

"Mm! Go back and cultivate!"

Gu Qing waved his hand, returned to the Boundless Heavenly Palace with Liu Ruyan, and summoned Hong Lan and the other three.

"Young Master!"

The four, Hong Lan, respectfully saluted.

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes darted around, her gaze lingering on the four of them.

Hong Lan, Shu Ying, Yi Tang, and Wan He, though Xi Ling's maids, all possessed captivating beauty.

Their skin was as white as snow, their features picturesque, their figures tall and voluptuous, perfectly rounded and plump like golden autumn fruits.

The natural elegance, intellectual maturity, and alluring charm they exuded with every glance and smile were beyond her comparison.

Of course, none of that was important.

She felt that the four women's gazes toward Gu Qing were somewhat improper.

But she wasn't entirely sure, so she decided to observe further.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Liu Ruyan furtively watching the four women, full of mischief, Gu Qing angrily gave her a hard smack on the head.

Their relationship couldn't be exposed.

After all, secretaries had a certain charm.

And maids also had a certain charm.

"No, not looking at anything."

"No, Gu Qing, how many times have I told you not to touch my head!" Liu Ruyan stamped her foot in anger.

Her head could be severed, blood could flow, but her hair must never be disheveled.

"Hahahaha!"

The four women, Hong Lan, covered their mouths and giggled, their ample bosoms trembling.

"Vain!" Gu Qing was speechless.

Liu Ruyan usually didn't seem to care much about her appearance, even somewhat disdainful of women who dressed up ostentatiously all day, yet she secretly beautified herself.

There was truly no one like her.

"Alright, Ruyan, calm down!"

Seeing sparks in Liu Ruyan's eyes, Hong Lan and Wan He quickly stepped forward to pull her back and comfort her.

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly and meticulously tidied her hair, her movements gentle, as if caressing a rare treasure.

Shu Ying asked, "Young Master, did you call us here for something you need to instruct?"

"No!" A light flashed in Gu Qing's eyes as he took in the four women's condition.

Their cultivation had already reached the Profound God Consummation stage, and their foundations were incredibly solid, having clearly transformed into a semi-innate physique.

The four were only missing a catalyst, a moment of enlightenment, to attain the Immortal King Dao.

However, this catalyst was a Heavenly Scourge; throughout history, countless Profound God Consummation cultivators had been stuck at this bottleneck.

"How is your cultivation of the Tianyu Rongxing Art progressing?" Gu Qing asked.

He had long since passed the Tianyu Rongxing Art to the four women, only patching up a few flaws in the cultivation method, leaving the rest untouched.

Because it was truly unnecessary; the Tianyu Rongxing Art was already incredibly perfect and heaven-defying.

"Replying to Young Master, we have already thoroughly comprehended the Profound God chapter."

"That's good!"

Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction; the four women's comprehension was quite good, a bit faster than he had anticipated.

"Next, I will refine a set of companion divine artifacts for the four of you..."

Gu Qing briefly explained the matter of the companion divine artifacts to the four women.

He painstakingly refined these companion divine artifacts specifically for Hong Lan and the others, to help them revert to their innate state and break through to the Divine King realm.

As for the other disciples, they would have to wait until he found enough world stones, or deduced a treasure that could replace world stones.

Gu Qing planned to refine the remaining three world stones into a Starry Sky Flying Boat.

The importance of flying magical treasures was self-evident.

To dominate the universe, a Starry Sky Flying Boat was indispensable.

After all, he couldn't always rely on his Time-Space Shuttle.

"Understood, Young Master!" The four women seemed very calm upon hearing this; after all, Gu Qing had already given them several Innate Spirit Treasures.

Divine King... Liu Ruyan's heart burned with fervor when she heard the words "Divine King," but then she shook her head dejectedly.

She was currently only at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm, countless galaxies away from the Divine King realm.

"Then let's go!"

Gu Qing took the five of them to the Starry Sky.

"Why don't we refine them in the Boundless World? There's a hundred-fold time acceleration there. Wouldn't it be better to come out after refining them to undergo the tribulation?" Liu Ruyan asked, puzzled.

Indeed, refining companion divine artifacts incurred heavenly lightning tribulations, and each breakthrough in cultivation also brought a double lightning tribulation: one for the cultivator, and one for the companion divine artifact.

Any heaven-defying treasure that appeared would be accompanied by a lightning tribulation.

Companion divine artifacts were considered heaven-defying treasures, and each upgrade came with a lightning tribulation.

"Did you forget that You Kui is undergoing tribulation?" Gu Qing said, exasperated.

Besides You Kui, there was also that stubborn woman Tian Yiling; both were undergoing tribulation simultaneously.

After they completed their tribulations, Mei Xueyan, Shu Yue, and others were waiting to undergo theirs.

Although Gu Qing was confident that no Immortal King would dare to provoke him.

However, cultivators pursued defying the heavens, seizing opportunities and fortunes at all costs.

What if some fearless individual wanted to snatch chestnuts from the fire, and attacked the four women while he was away? That would be a huge problem.

"You're right!!!"

Liu Ruyan chuckled awkwardly; she had indeed forgotten about that, as she wasn't the one protecting them, so who would constantly keep it in mind?

"Are you going to refine it yourself, or should I help you?"

"I'll do it myself!"

"Alright, here you go!"

Gu Qing handed her a world stone, then took out countless rare ores and celestial gold, using his divine ability to gather their brilliance and smelt them with the True Solar Flame.

Ores and celestial gold, which even Profound God Great Powers found difficult to damage, rapidly melted under the True Solar Flame, while retaining the Dao charm contained within them.

Next, Gu Qing took out four world stones and began refining them.

world stones were very special, like Dao seeds; they couldn't be forged by fire, but needed to be refined with cultivation.

Once refined, the world stone became a vessel, melting various rare ores.

Gu Qing quickly cast various hand seals, shaping the divine artifacts; the four world stones rapidly took form in Gu Qing's hands.

"Oh, Gu Qing, you're too fast!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed upon seeing this; her world stone was less than one percent refined.

And Gu Qing? He was refining four world stones simultaneously, along with countless rare ores.

In less than half an hour, he had almost finished smelting the four divine artifact embryos.

Even for a Divine King, this speed was simply too astonishing.

Gu Qing: "..."

Gu Qing paused his movements. If it weren't for the critical moment in artifact refinement, he would have thoroughly messed up Empress Ruyan's beautiful hair.

Shaking his head inwardly, Gu Qing's thoughts stirred, and he took her world stone.

If he let her refine it herself, who knew how long it would take?

"You watch from the side!"

"Mm-hmm!" Liu Ruyan nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gu Qing without blinking.

Seeing Gu Qing seriously refining artifacts, she felt that he was indescribably charming at that moment, and she unconsciously became engrossed.

The four women's beautiful eyes glanced back and forth between the two, smiling without speaking.

Nine days passed in a flash.

As the companion divine artifacts were about to be completed, Gu Qing looked at Hong Lan and the other three and said, "Give me the magical treasures you used for your Dao attestation."

The more precious the treasure used for a companion divine artifact, the higher its growth potential. If an Innate Spirit Treasure could be used, it was best to use an Innate Spirit Treasure.

Gu Qing's eyes showed contemplation.

The Boundless Divine Sect had nurtured many chaotic treasures, and those divine mountains were also treasures for refining magical artifacts. He would add some of them later to see the effect.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The four women unhesitatingly took out their magical treasures.

Only at this moment did they realize that the companion divine artifacts Gu Qing spoke of were on a completely different level from the companion divine artifacts they knew.

"Do you have any magical artifacts you want to smelt?" Gu Qing asked.

"Yes!" Liu Ruyan had already decided to smelt the Desolate Pagoda into it.

This was a damaged Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Dao attestation treasure of an Immortal Emperor named Gu Huang.

Along the way, the Desolate Pagoda had saved her from danger multiple times.

So, Liu Ruyan planned to smelt the Desolate Pagoda and refurbish it.
