“This is a dangerous business, Fang Brother. If you’re not willing to take risks, I advise you not to go.”
Shui Miao accepted the pills from Lian’er, clearly solidifying an alliance with her.
Lian’er was very happy; it had been a long time since she had felt this joyful.
It wasn’t for anything else—just forming a friendship with Shui Miao made her happy enough to willingly offer her pills.
Fang Zhentian, however, was somewhat fearful. As the general of the Fire Thunder Sect, in colloquial terms, he was a civil servant, so how could he be willing to join dangerous outlaws in risky ventures?
But the most critical reason was that Fang Zhentian didn’t have any powerful magical treasures.
“Brother, it’s all my fault for speaking too quickly. I shouldn’t have said those things. How about we go back? Let’s wait until we have powerful immortal artifacts before we go again? I don’t mean anything else—I just think we should play it safe in this immortal realm.”
Fang Zhentian also didn’t want to see Shui Miao take risks. He was convinced Shui Miao didn’t have any powerful magical treasures. If he did, he wouldn’t have fought against Immortal Lord Hu bare-chested back then.
“Brother, I appreciate your good intentions. Then let’s meet again later!”
Shui Miao didn’t hesitate and immediately bowed to Fang Zhentian.
Lian’er giggled and also bowed to Fang Zhentian: “Don’t worry, Fang Brother. I’m more familiar with the immortal realm than you are. I definitely won’t lead Shui Miao Brother astray.”
Seeing that Shui Miao was clearly determined, Fang Zhentian could only remain speechless.
※※※
“Lian’er, you lead the way to a quiet place.”
After flying several hundred meters away, Shui Miao sensed with his spiritual awareness that Fang Zhentian had turned back. Instantly, he asked Lian’er to guide him.
Upon hearing this, Lian’er, who had been thinking deeply, immediately blushed. Late at night, going to a secluded place—could it be that he wanted to cultivate together with her? This guy, who seemed so refined, was even more eager than her when it came to such matters…
“Okay…”
Lian’er shyly nodded and quickly led Shui Miao flying into the distance.
Shui Miao spread his spiritual awareness quietly. After the previous lesson with Immortal Lord Hu, he no longer scanned famous sects’ immortal mountains with his spiritual sense. Instead, he focused on sensing his immediate surroundings to see if anyone was secretly following him.
About half an hour later, after careful selection, Lian’er led Shui Miao to a cluster of messy small mountains.
“This place should be fine…”
Lian’er bit her lip, shyly glanced at Shui Miao, then turned away and floated to a large rock to sit down.
This was her first time doing something like this, so naturally she felt a bit embarrassed.
Lian’er lowered her head, waiting for Shui Miao to come.
However, Shui Miao didn’t approach, so she wondered if she wasn’t being proactive enough.
Thus, in a complex mix of emotions, Lian’er began unbuttoning her clothes…
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Lian’er smelled a strong medicinal aroma. Looking up, she saw Shui Miao, dozens of meters away, grinding large quantities of pills. A pair of blood-red gloves were absorbing demonic energy, emitting rays of crimson light.
“What is that?”
Lian’er couldn’t help but stand up and walk toward the gloves.
The gloves absorbed medicinal energy faster and faster. At the same time, Shui Miao also released many crystals for the gloves to absorb.
Suddenly, a brilliant blood-red light flared. Both gloves simultaneously nurtured their own artifact spirits.
“Hu!”
As the gloves’ spirits emerged and were about to fly away, Shui Miao, who had been prepared, immediately grabbed them and performed a blood-binding ritual.
“Ah… This, these gloves have only reached the peak of the supreme grade?”
“This is a business of licking blood off a blade, Brother Fang. If you’re not willing to take the risk, I’d advise you not to go.”
Shui Miao accepted Lian’er’s elixir, clearly forming an alliance with her.
Lian’er was overjoyed; it had been a long time since she felt this happy.
She wasn’t doing it for any ulterior motive—she simply wanted to befriend Shui Miao, so she readily offered the elixir.
Fang Zhentian, however, was somewhat hesitant. As the commander of the Fire Thunder Department, he was, so to speak, a civil servant. Why would he be willing to join desperadoes in such a dangerous venture?
But the most critical reason was that Fang Zhentian lacked powerful magical artifacts.
“Brother, it’s all my fault for speaking too hastily. I shouldn’t have said those things. How about we turn back and come another time? Let’s wait until we have powerful immortal tools before going. I don’t mean anything else—I just think it’s better to play it safe in the immortal realm.” Fang Zhentian didn’t want to see Shui Miao take such risks. He was convinced that Shui Miao didn’t possess any formidable magical artifacts; if he had, he wouldn’t have fought so recklessly against Immortal Hu that day.
“I appreciate your kindness, brother. Let’s meet again another time!”
Without hesitation, Shui Miao cupped his hands in a salute to Fang Zhentian.
Lian’er giggled and also saluted Fang Zhentian: “Don’t worry, Brother Fang. I know the immortal realm even better than you do. I would never lead Brother Shui Miao astray.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stop Shui Miao, Fang Zhentian was left speechless.
※※※
“Lian’er, lead the way to a secluded spot.”
After flying several hundred meters away, Shui Miao sensed with his divine consciousness that Fang Zhentian had turned back. He immediately asked Lian’er to guide him.
Hearing this, Lian’er, who had her own thoughts on the matter, blushed. In the dead of night, going to a secluded spot—could it be that he wanted to dual cultivate with her? This guy, who seemed so refined, was surprisingly more eager than she was…
“Mhmm…”
Lian’er nodded shyly and quickly led Shui Miao flying into the distance.
Shui Miao spread out his divine consciousness, cautiously sensing his surroundings. Having learned his lesson from the encounter with Immortal Hu, he avoided probing the immortal mountains of major sects and focused only on his immediate vicinity to check for any hidden followers.
After about half an hour, Lian’er carefully selected a disorderly cluster of small mountains and brought Shui Miao there.
“Let’s stop here…”
Lian’er bit her lip, glanced shyly at Shui Miao, then turned and floated to sit beside a large rock.
Doing something like this for the first time was bound to be a little embarrassing.
She lowered her head, waiting for Shui Miao to approach.
But when he didn’t come, she wondered if she wasn’t being proactive enough.
So, with extremely mixed emotions, Lian’er began unbuttoning her clothes…
“Hm?”
Lian’er suddenly caught a strong whiff of medicinal energy. She looked up and saw Shui Miao about ten meters away, crushing large quantities of elixirs. A pair of blood-red gloves was absorbing the demonic energy, emitting waves of crimson light.
“What’s that?”
Unable to resist, Lian’er stood up and walked toward the gloves.
The gloves absorbed the medicinal energy faster and faster. At the same time, Shui Miao released many spirit stones for the gloves to absorb.
Suddenly, a brilliant blood-red light erupted—the gloves had birthed weapon spirits.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the weapon spirits emerged and tried to fly away, Shui Miao, who had been prepared, grabbed them and performed a blood pact to claim ownership.
“Uh… these gloves are only at the peak of the top-grade realm?”
Sensing the gloves’ grade, Shui Miao felt a chill in his heart. They hadn’t reached the quality he expected—they weren’t supreme-grade immortal artifacts!
“Brother, these are top-grade immortal artifacts! Did you forge these for yourself but never had the chance to temper them with spirit energy?” Lian’er, knowledgeable and clever, recognized the gloves at a glance. Connecting this with Shui Miao’s intention to find a secluded spot, she realized he had used the leftover materials from forging Jiao Gong’s artifact to create one for himself.
“But they’re only top-grade.”
Shui Miao glanced at the excited Lian’er and noticed she had unbuttoned her collar down to the third button, revealing most of her breasts. The snow-white fullness was particularly striking in the night, making his mouth go dry…
Noticing Shui Miao’s gaze, Lian’er looked down and instantly blushed crimson. She quickly covered her chest and turned away.
“Uh… Lian’er, let’s continue on our way!”
Shui Miao was also embarrassed, realizing he must have misspoken earlier and misled Lian’er.
However, the image of her snow-white fullness lingered in his mind, stubbornly refusing to fade. It was utterly distracting.
“Right! Let me test the power of these gloves!”
With a thought, Shui Miao channeled immortal energy into the gloves, activating the arrays within. When the gloves touched, they emitted a flash of lightning and a dragon’s roar. A rock weighing over ten tons ahead was instantly shattered to dust!
“Ah! A dragon’s roar!”
Shui Miao was astonished. Instead of thunder, his gloves had produced a dragon’s roar!
And the power was absolutely terrifying!
“Brother! Your top-grade immortal artifact seems even more powerful than a supreme-grade one!”
Lian’er stared wide-eyed, unable to tear her gaze away from the gloves.
In the Ninth Heaven, supreme-grade immortal artifacts were extremely rare, possessed only by powerful immortals. Yet Shui Miao’s gloves, though merely top-grade, rivaled supreme-grade artifacts in power!
Little did Lian’er know that Shui Miao’s gloves were infused with the aura of Nuwa Stone and tempered with dragon’s blood.
Hui De’s dragon blood was no ordinary dragon blood—it also contained abundant Nuwa Stone aura.
Thus, Shui Miao’s top-grade immortal artifact was destined to surpass even supreme-grade ones.
The only limitation was Shui Miao’s current cultivation level. With higher cultivation and stronger magic power, the gloves’ power would be even more immense.
“I don’t know how supreme-grade immortal artifacts perform in the immortal realm, but I know we now have the means to deal with those bandit sects. Sister Lian’er, let’s hurry and set off.” With a thought, Shui Miao concealed the gloves’ power, masking their aura entirely.
“Alright!”
Only then did Lian’er realize that Shui Miao had been planning this all along.
With this top-grade immortal artifact, Shui Miao indeed had the capital to stir up trouble beyond the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains.
Shortly after Shui Miao and Lian’er left, some loose immortals in the vicinity heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing the surrounding rocks reduced to powder, they were terrified, thinking the Thunder Dragon God had passed through, and fled in panic.
“Lian’er, do you know which of the bandit sects is the most powerful?”
“Brother, you’ve asked the right person. I may not have many immortal friends in the Ninth Heaven, but I have plenty among the demon immortal bandit sects. Of the many wild mountain groups I know, the strongest is undoubtedly the Dragon Beast Clan. And within the Dragon Beast Clan, the Thunder Dragon God is the most fearsome.”
“Good! Tell me about this Dragon Beast Clan and the Thunder Dragon God.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through divine consciousness, exchanging information to prepare for any eventuality.
“This is a business of licking blood off a blade, Brother Fang. If you’re not willing to take the risk, I’d advise you not to go.”
Shui Miao accepted Lian’er’s elixir, clearly forming an alliance with her.
Lian’er was overjoyed; it had been a long time since she felt this happy.
She wasn’t doing it for any ulterior motive—she simply wanted to befriend Shui Miao, so she readily handed over the elixir.

“Lian’er, lead the way to a secluded spot.”
After flying several hundred meters away, Shui Miao sensed with his divine consciousness that Fang Zhentian had turned back. He immediately asked Lian’er to guide him.
Hearing this, Lian’er, who had her own thoughts, blushed. Going to a secluded place in the middle of the night—could it be that he wanted to dual cultivate with her? This guy, who seemed so refined, was surprisingly more eager than she was…
“Mhmm…”
Lian’er nodded shyly and quickly led Shui Miao flying into the distance.
Shui Miao spread out his divine consciousness, cautiously sensing his surroundings. Learning from his previous encounter with Immortal Lord Hu, he avoided probing the immortal mountains of major sects and instead focused on detecting whether anyone was secretly following them.
After about half an hour, Lian’er carefully selected a path and brought Shui Miao to a disorderly cluster of small mountains.

“Uh… these gloves are only at the peak-grade level?”

“Right! Let me test the power of these gloves!”
With a thought, Shui Miao channeled immortal energy into the gloves, activating the arrays within. When the gloves touched, they emitted a flash of lightning and a dragon’s roar. A rock weighing over ten tons in front of them was instantly shattered to dust!
“Ah! A dragon’s roar!”
Shui Miao was astonished. Instead of thunder, his gloves had produced a dragon’s roar!
And the power was absolutely terrifying!
“Brother! Your top-grade immortal artifact seems even more powerful than a supreme-grade one!”
Lian’er’s eyes were fixed on the gloves, unable to look away.
In the Ninth Heaven, supreme-grade immortal artifacts were extremely rare, possessed only by powerful immortal lords. Yet Shui Miao’s gloves, though only top-grade, were in no way inferior to a supreme-grade artifact!
Little did Lian’er know that Shui Miao’s gloves were infused with the aura of Nuwa Stone and tempered with dragon’s blood.
Hui De’s dragon blood was no ordinary dragon blood—it also contained large amounts of Nuwa Stone aura.

“Good! Tell me about this Dragon Beast Clan and the Thunder Dragon God.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through divine consciousness, exchanging information to prepare for any challenges ahead.
Shui Miao turned to look at the excited Lian’er, only to see that she had unbuttoned her collar down to the third button, revealing half of her ample bosom. In the night, the snowy whiteness was particularly eye-catching… making one’s mouth dry.
Lian’er noticed Shui Miao’s odd gaze, looked down at herself, and immediately blushed deeply, hurriedly covering her chest and turning around.
“Ah… Lian’er, let’s continue our journey!”
Shui Miao was also embarrassed, guessing that he must have been unclear in his previous explanation, thus misleading Lian’er.
However, Shui Miao’s mind was filled with the image of that snowy whiteness, refusing to fade—it was quite tormenting.
“Oh right! Let me test the gloves’ power!”
Shui Miao’s mind flickered, immediately channeling immortal energy into the gloves, activating the formation within. When the gloves touched, they instantly emitted a bolt of lightning, accompanied by a dragon’s roar. Before them, a rock weighing several tons was instantly shattered into dust!
“Ahh! The dragon’s roar!”
Shui Miao was greatly surprised. His gloves hadn’t emitted thunder, but instead a dragon’s roar!
Moreover, the power was terrifying!
“This is a business of licking blood off a blade, Brother Fang. If you’re not willing to take the risk, I’d advise you not to go.”
Shui Miao accepted Lian’er’s elixir, clearly forming an alliance with her.
Lian’er was overjoyed; it had been a long time since she felt this happy.
She wasn’t doing it for any ulterior motive—she simply wanted to befriend Shui Miao, so she readily handed over the elixir.
Fang Zhentian, however, was somewhat hesitant. As the commander of the Fire Thunder Department, he was, so to speak, a civil servant. Why would he willingly engage in such a dangerous venture with outlaws?
But the most critical reason was that Fang Zhentian lacked powerful magical artifacts.
“Brother, it’s all my fault for speaking out of turn. I shouldn’t have said those things. How about we turn back and come another time? Let’s wait until we have formidable immortal artifacts before going. I don’t mean anything else—I just think it’s better to play it safe in the immortal realm.” Fang Zhentian didn’t want to see Shui Miao take such risks. He was convinced that Shui Miao didn’t possess any powerful artifacts; if he had, he wouldn’t have fought Immortal Lord Hu “bare-chested” that day.
“I appreciate your concern, brother. Let’s meet again another time!”
Without hesitation, Shui Miao cupped his hands in a salute to Fang Zhentian.
Lian’er giggled and also saluted Fang Zhentian: “Don’t worry, Brother Fang. I know the immortal realm even better than you do. I would never lead Brother Shui Miao astray.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stop Shui Miao, Fang Zhentian was left speechless.

“Lian’er, lead the way to a secluded spot.”

But when he didn’t come, she wondered if she wasn’t being proactive enough.
So, with extremely mixed feelings, Lian’er began unbuttoning her clothes…

The gloves absorbed the medicinal energy faster and faster. At the same time, Shui Miao released many spirit stones for the gloves to absorb.
Suddenly, a brilliant crimson light burst forth as the gloves gave birth to artifact spirits.
“Whoosh!”
The moment the artifact spirits emerged, the gloves tried to fly away but were swiftly caught by the prepared Shui Miao, who claimed ownership with a drop of blood.
“Uh… these gloves are only at the peak-grade level?”
Sensing the gloves’ grade, Shui Miao felt a chill in his heart. They hadn’t reached the quality he had hoped for—they weren’t supreme-grade immortal artifacts!

With this top-grade immortal artifact, Shui Miao indeed had the capital to stir up trouble beyond the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains.
Shortly after Shui Miao and Lian’er left, some loose immortals in the vicinity heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing the shattered remains of boulders everywhere, they were terrified, thinking the Thunder Dragon God had passed through. They fled in panic.
“Lian’er, do you know which of the outlaw sects is the most powerful?”
“Brother, you’ve asked the right person. I may not have many immortal friends in the Ninth Heaven, but I have plenty among the demon immortal outlaw sects. Of the many wild mountain factions I know, the strongest is undoubtedly the Dragon Beast Clan. And within the Dragon Beast Clan, the Thunder Dragon God is the most fearsome.”
“Good! Tell me about this Dragon Beast Clan and the Thunder Dragon God.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through divine consciousness, exchanging information to prepare for any challenges ahead.
Lian’er’s eyes were glued to the gloves, unable to look away.
“This is a business of licking blood off a blade, Brother Fang. If you’re not willing to take the risk, I’d advise you not to go.”
Shui Miao accepted Lian’er’s elixir, clearly forming an alliance with her.
Lian’er was overjoyed; it had been a long time since she felt this happy.
She wasn’t doing it for any ulterior motive—she simply wanted to befriend Shui Miao, which was why she readily offered the elixir.
Fang Zhentian, however, was somewhat apprehensive. As the commander of the Fire Thunder Department, he was, so to speak, a civil servant. Why would he be willing to join desperadoes in such a dangerous venture?
But the most critical reason was that Fang Zhentian lacked powerful magical artifacts.
“Brother, it’s all my fault for speaking out of turn. I shouldn’t have said those things. How about we turn back and come another time? Let’s wait until we have formidable immortal artifacts before heading over. I don’t mean anything by it—I just think it’s better to play it safe in the immortal realm.” Fang Zhentian didn’t want to see Shui Miao take such risks either. He was convinced that Shui Miao didn’t possess any powerful magical artifacts; if he had, he wouldn’t have fought so recklessly against Immortal Lord Hu that day.
“I appreciate your concern, brother. Let’s meet again another time!”
Without hesitation, Shui Miao cupped his hands in a salute to Fang Zhentian.
Lian’er giggled and also saluted Fang Zhentian: “Don’t worry, Brother Fang. I know the immortal realm even better than you do. I would never lead Brother Shui Miao astray.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stop Shui Miao, Fang Zhentian was left speechless.
※※※
“Lian’er, lead the way to a secluded spot.”
After flying several hundred meters away, Shui Miao sensed with his divine consciousness that Fang Zhentian had turned back. He immediately asked Lian’er to guide him.
Hearing this, Lian’er, who had her own thoughts on the matter, blushed. It was the middle of the night, and he wanted to go to a secluded place? Could it be that he wanted to dual cultivate with her? This guy seemed so refined, yet he was even more impatient than she was…
“Mhmm…”
Lian’er nodded shyly and quickly led Shui Miao flying into the distance.
Shui Miao spread out his divine consciousness, cautiously sensing his surroundings. Having learned his lesson from Immortal Lord Hu, he avoided probing the immortal mountains of major sects and focused only on his immediate vicinity to check if anyone was secretly following them.
After about half an hour, Lian’er carefully selected a disorderly cluster of small hills and brought Shui Miao there.
“Let’s stop here…”
Lian’er bit her lip, glanced shyly at Shui Miao, then turned and floated to sit beside a large rock.
Doing something like this for the first time was bound to be a little embarrassing.
She lowered her head, waiting for Shui Miao to approach.
But when he didn’t come, she wondered if she wasn’t being proactive enough.
So, with extremely mixed feelings, Lian’er began unbuttoning her clothes…
“Hm?”
Lian’er suddenly caught a strong whiff of medicinal energy. She looked up and saw Shui Miao about ten meters away, crushing a large number of elixirs. A pair of blood-red gloves was absorbing the demonic energy, emitting waves of crimson light.
“What’s that?”
Unable to resist, Lian’er stood up and walked toward the gloves.
The gloves absorbed the medicinal energy faster and faster. At the same time, Shui Miao released many spirit stones for the gloves to absorb.
Suddenly, a brilliant blood-red light erupted—the gloves had both nurtured artifact spirits.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the artifact spirits emerged and tried to fly away, Shui Miao, who had been prepared, grabbed them and performed a blood pact to claim ownership.
“Uh… these gloves are only at the peak of the top-grade realm?”
Sensing the gloves’ grade, Shui Miao felt a chill in his heart. They hadn’t reached the quality he expected—they weren’t supreme-grade immortal artifacts!
“Brother, these are top-grade immortal artifacts! Are these something you crafted for yourself but hadn’t had the chance to temper and empower until now?” Lian’er, knowledgeable and clever, took one look at the gloves and, recalling Shui Miao’s purpose in coming to a secluded place, realized he had used the leftover materials from crafting Jiao Gong’s artifact to make one for himself.
“But they’re only top-grade.”
Shui Miao glanced at the excited Lian’er and noticed she had unbuttoned her collar down to the third button, revealing most of her breasts. The snow-white fullness was particularly striking in the night… enough to make anyone’s mouth go dry.
Lian’er noticed Shui Miao’s gaze, looked down at herself, and instantly blushed crimson. She quickly covered her chest and turned away.
“Uh… Lian’er, let’s continue on our way!”
Shui Miao was also embarrassed, realizing he must have been unclear earlier and misled Lian’er.
However, his mind was filled with the image of that snow-white fullness, an image he couldn’t shake—it was utterly distracting.
“Right! Let me test the power of these gloves!”
With a thought, Shui Miao channeled immortal energy into the gloves, activating the arrays within. When the gloves touched, they emitted a flash of lightning and a dragon’s roar. A rock weighing over ten tons in front of them was instantly shattered to dust!
“Ah! A dragon’s roar!”
Shui Miao was astonished. Instead of thunder, his gloves had produced a dragon’s roar!
And the power was absolutely terrifying!
“Brother! Your top-grade immortal artifact seems even more powerful than a supreme-grade one!”
Lian’er’s eyes were wide with amazement, unable to look away from the gloves.
In the Ninth Heaven, supreme-grade immortal artifacts were extremely rare—only powerful immortal lords were likely to possess them. Yet, although Shui Miao’s gloves were only top-grade, their power was in no way inferior to a supreme-grade artifact!
Little did Lian’er know that Shui Miao’s gloves had been infused with the aura of Nuwa Stone and tempered with dragon’s blood.
Hui De’s dragon blood was no ordinary dragon blood—it also contained large amounts of Nuwa Stone aura.
Thus, Shui Miao’s top-grade immortal artifact was destined to surpass even supreme-grade artifacts.
The sole limitation lay in Shui Miao’s current level of cultivation. Had his cultivation been more advanced and his power greater, the gloves’ might would have been even more formidable.
“I don’t know what supreme-grade immortal artifacts are like in the immortal realm, but I know we now have the means to deal with those bandit factions. Sister Lian’er, let’s hurry and set off.” With a thought, Shui Miao concealed the gloves’ power, masking their aura completely.
“Alright!”
Only then did Lian’er realize that Shui Miao had been planning this all along.
With this top-grade immortal artifact, Shui Miao indeed had the capital to stir up trouble beyond the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains.
No sooner had Shui Miao and Lian’er left than some nearby loose immortals, hearing the commotion, rushed over. Seeing the surrounding rocks reduced to powder, they were terrified, thinking the Thunder Dragon God had passed through, and fled in panic.
“Lian’er, do you know which of those bandit factions is the most powerful?”
“Brother, you’ve asked the right person. I don’t have many immortal friends in the Ninth Heaven, but I have plenty among the demon immortal bandits. Of the many wild mountain factions I know, the strongest is undoubtedly the Dragon Beast Clan. And within the Dragon Beast Clan, the Thunder Dragon God is the most fearsome.”
“Good! Tell me about this Dragon Beast Clan and the Thunder Dragon God.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through divine consciousness, exchanging information to better prepare for what lay ahead.
Lian’er didn’t know that Shui Miao’s gloves had been infused with Nuwa Stone essence and tempered with dragon’s blood.
The dragon’s blood from Hui De wasn’t ordinary dragon’s blood—it also contained a large amount of Nuwa Stone essence.
“This is a business of licking blood off a blade, Brother Fang. If you’re not willing to take the risk, I’d advise you not to go.”
Shui Miao accepted Lian’er’s elixir, clearly forming an alliance with her.
Lian’er was overjoyed; it had been a long time since she felt this happy.
She wasn’t doing it for any ulterior motive—she simply wanted to befriend Shui Miao, so she readily handed over the elixir.
Fang Zhentian, however, was somewhat hesitant. As the commander of the Fire Thunder Department, he was, so to speak, a civil servant. Why would he be willing to join desperadoes in such a dangerous venture?
But the most critical reason was that Fang Zhentian lacked powerful magical artifacts.
“Brother, it’s all my fault for speaking too hastily. I shouldn’t have said those things. How about we turn back and come another time? Let’s wait until we have formidable immortal tools before going. I mean no offense—I just think it’s better to play it safe in the immortal realm.” Fang Zhentian didn’t want to see Shui Miao take such risks. He was convinced that Shui Miao didn’t possess any powerful magical artifacts; if he did, he wouldn’t have fought Immortal Lord Hu “bare-chested” that day.
“I appreciate your concern, brother. Let’s meet again another time!”
Without hesitation, Shui Miao cupped his hands in a salute to Fang Zhentian.
Lian’er giggled and also saluted Fang Zhentian: “Don’t worry, Brother Fang. I know the immortal realm even better than you do. I definitely won’t lead Brother Shui Miao astray.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stop Shui Miao, Fang Zhentian was left speechless.

After flying several hundred meters away, Shui Miao sensed with his divine consciousness that Fang Zhentian had turned back. He immediately asked Lian’er to guide him.

So, with extremely mixed emotions, Lian’er began unbuttoning her clothes…

Lian’er suddenly caught a strong whiff of medicinal energy. She looked up and saw Shui Miao about ten meters away, crushing large quantities of elixirs. A pair of blood-red gloves was absorbing the demonic energy, emitting waves of crimson light.
“What’s that?”
Unable to resist, Lian’er stood up and walked toward the gloves.
The gloves absorbed the medicinal energy faster and faster, while Shui Miao also released many spirit stones for the gloves to devour.
Suddenly, a brilliant crimson light burst forth—the gloves had birthed artifact spirits.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the artifact spirits emerged and tried to fly away, Shui Miao, who had been prepared, grabbed them and performed a blood pact to claim ownership.
“Uh… these gloves are only at the peak of the top-grade level?”
Sensing the gloves’ grade, Shui Miao felt a chill in his heart. They hadn’t reached the quality he expected—they weren’t supreme-grade immortal artifacts!
“Brother, these are top-grade immortal artifacts! Did you forge these for yourself but never had the chance to temper them with spirit energy?” Lian’er, knowledgeable and clever, recognized the gloves at a glance. Connecting this with Shui Miao’s intention to find a secluded spot, she realized he had used the leftover materials from forging Jiao Gong’s artifact to create one for himself.
“But they’re only top-grade.”
Shui Miao glanced at the excited Lian’er and noticed she had unbuttoned her collar down to the third button, revealing most of her breasts. The snow-white fullness was particularly striking in the night… enough to make one’s mouth go dry.

“Uh… Lian’er, let’s continue on our way!”
Shui Miao was also embarrassed, realizing he must have been unclear earlier and misled Lian’er.
Yet, his thoughts were consumed by the vision of her pristine, radiant beauty, an image that clung stubbornly to his mind—a truly lethal distraction.
“Right! Let me test the power of these gloves!”
With a thought, Shui Miao channeled immortal energy into the gloves, activating the formations within. When the gloves touched, they emitted a flash of lightning and the roar of a dragon. A rock weighing over ten tons ahead was instantly shattered to dust!
“Ah! The roar of a dragon!”
Shui Miao was astonished. Instead of thunder, his gloves had produced a dragon’s roar!
And the power was absolutely terrifying!
“Brother! Your top-grade immortal artifact seems even more powerful than a supreme-grade one!”
Lian’er stared wide-eyed, unable to look away from the gloves.
In the Ninth Heaven, supreme-grade immortal artifacts were extremely rare, possessed only by powerful immortal lords. Yet Shui Miao’s gloves, though only top-grade, rivaled supreme-grade artifacts in power!
Little did Lian’er know that Shui Miao’s gloves were infused with the aura of Nuwa Stone and tempered with dragon blood.
Hui De’s dragon blood was no ordinary dragon blood—it also contained vast amounts of Nuwa Stone aura.
Thus, Shui Miao’s top-grade immortal artifact was destined to surpass even supreme-grade ones.
The sole constraint lay in Shui Miao’s present level of cultivation. Had his cultivation been more advanced and his magical prowess more potent, the gloves’ might would have been even more formidable.
“I don’t know how powerful supreme-grade immortal artifacts are in the immortal realm, but I know we now have the means to deal with those bandit factions. Sister Lian’er, let’s hurry and set off.” With a thought, Shui Miao concealed the gloves’ power, masking their aura entirely.

Lian’er nodded shyly and quickly led Shui Miao flying into the distance.
Shui Miao spread out his divine consciousness, cautiously sensing his surroundings. Learning from his previous encounter with Immortal Lord Hu, he avoided probing the immortal mountains of major sects and instead focused on detecting whether anyone was secretly following them.

Noticing Shui Miao’s gaze, Lian’er looked down and blushed furiously. She quickly covered her chest and turned away.
“Uh… Lian’er, let’s continue on our way!”
Shui Miao felt equally awkward, realizing he must have misspoken earlier and misled Lian’er.
Yet, the vision of that pristine, snow-white fullness persisted in his thoughts, obstinately clinging—a truly lethal diversion.
“Right! Let me test the power of these gloves!”
With a thought, Shui Miao channeled immortal energy into the gloves, activating the arrays within. When the gloves touched, they emitted a burst of lightning accompanied by a dragon’s roar. A rock weighing over ten tons ahead was instantly shattered to dust!

Let’s wait until we have formidable immortal tools before heading over.

“Good! Tell me about this Dragon Beast Clan and the Thunder Dragon God.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through divine consciousness, exchanging information to better prepare for what lay ahead.
“Alright!”
Lian’er suddenly understood—Shui Miao had already made plans in advance.

“Mhmm…”
Lian’er nodded shyly and quickly led Shui Miao flying into the distance.
Shui Miao spread out his divine consciousness, cautiously sensing his surroundings. Having learned his lesson from his earlier encounter with Immortal Hu, he avoided probing the immortal mountains of major sects and focused only on his immediate vicinity to check for any hidden followers.
After about half an hour, Lian’er carefully selected a location and brought Shui Miao to a disorderly cluster of small mountains.
“Let’s stop here…”
Lian’er bit her lip, glanced shyly at Shui Miao, then turned and floated to sit beside a large rock.
Doing something like this for the first time was bound to be a little embarrassing.
She lowered her head, waiting for Shui Miao to approach.
But when he didn’t come, she wondered if she wasn’t being proactive enough.
So, with extremely mixed emotions, Lian’er began unbuttoning her clothes…
“Hm?”
Lian’er suddenly caught a strong whiff of medicinal energy. She looked up and saw Shui Miao about ten meters away, crushing a large number of elixirs. A pair of blood-red gloves was absorbing the demonic energy, emitting waves of crimson light.
“What’s that?”
Unable to resist, Lian’er stood up and walked toward the gloves.
The gloves absorbed the medicinal energy faster and faster. At the same time, Shui Miao released many spirit stones for the gloves to absorb.
Suddenly, a brilliant crimson light burst forth—the gloves had given birth to artifact spirits.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the artifact spirits emerged and tried to fly away, Shui Miao, who had been prepared, grabbed them and performed a blood pact to claim ownership.
“Uh… these gloves are only at the peak-grade level?”
Sensing the gloves’ grade, Shui Miao felt a chill in his heart. They hadn’t reached the quality he had hoped for—they weren’t supreme-grade immortal artifacts!
“Brother, these are top-grade immortal artifacts! Did you forge these for yourself but never had the chance to temper them with spirit energy?” Lian’er, knowledgeable and clever, recognized the gloves at a glance. Connecting this with Shui Miao’s intention to find a secluded spot, she realized he had used the leftover materials from forging Jiao Gong’s artifact to create one for himself.
“But they’re only top-grade.”
Shui Miao glanced at the excited Lian’er and noticed she had unbuttoned her collar down to the third button, revealing most of her breasts. The snow-white fullness was particularly striking in the night, enough to make one’s mouth go dry…
Noticing Shui Miao’s gaze, Lian’er looked down and instantly blushed crimson. She quickly covered her chest and turned away.
“Uh… Lian’er, let’s continue on our way!”
Shui Miao was also embarrassed, realizing he must have misspoken earlier and misled Lian’er.
However, the image of that snow-white fullness lingered in his mind, stubbornly refusing to fade. It was utterly distracting.
“Right! Let me test the power of these gloves!”
With a thought, Shui Miao channeled immortal energy into the gloves, activating the arrays within. When the gloves touched, they emitted a flash of lightning and a dragon’s roar. A boulder weighing over ten tons was instantly shattered into dust!
“Ah! A dragon’s roar!”
Shui Miao was astonished. Instead of thunder, his gloves had produced a dragon’s roar!
And the power was absolutely terrifying!
“Brother! Your top-grade immortal artifact seems even more powerful than a supreme-grade one!”
Lian’er’s eyes were wide with amazement, unable to look away from the gloves.
In the Ninth Heaven, supreme-grade immortal artifacts were extremely rare, possessed only by powerful immortals. Yet Shui Miao’s gloves, though only top-grade, rivaled supreme-grade artifacts in power!
Little did Lian’er know that Shui Miao’s gloves had been infused with the aura of Nuwa Stone and tempered with dragon’s blood.
Hui De’s dragon blood was no ordinary dragon blood—it also contained traces of Nuwa Stone’s essence.
Thus, Shui Miao’s top-grade immortal artifact was destined to surpass even supreme-grade artifacts.
The only limitation was Shui Miao’s current cultivation level. With higher cultivation and stronger magic power, the gloves’ power would be even more formidable.
“I don’t know how supreme-grade immortal artifacts measure up in the immortal realm, but I know we now have the means to deal with those bandit sects. Lian’er, let’s hurry and set off.” With a thought, Shui Miao concealed the gloves’ power, masking their aura completely.
“Alright!”
Only then did Lian’er realize that Shui Miao had been planning this all along.
With this top-grade immortal artifact, Shui Miao truly had the capital to stir up trouble beyond the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains.
Shortly after Shui Miao and Lian’er left, some loose immortals in the vicinity heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing the shattered remains of boulders scattered everywhere, they were terrified, thinking the Thunder Dragon God had passed through. They fled in panic.
“Lian’er, do you know which of the bandit sects is the most powerful?”
“Brother, you’ve asked the right person. I may not have many immortal friends in the Ninth Heaven, but I have plenty among the demon immortal bandit sects. Of the many wild mountain factions, the strongest is undoubtedly the Dragon Beast Clan. And within the Dragon Beast Clan, the Thunder Dragon God is the most fearsome.”
“Good! Tell me about this Dragon Beast Clan and the Thunder Dragon God.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through divine consciousness, exchanging information to better prepare for what lay ahead.
As soon as Shui Miao and Lian’er left, nearby wandering immortals rushed over upon hearing the sound. Seeing the surrounding area filled with powdered rocks, they were terrified, thinking that the Thunder Dragon God had passed by, and hastily fled in panic.
“Lian’er, do you know which sects among those bandits are the strongest?”
“Brother, you’ve come to the right person. I don’t have many immortal friends in the Ninth Heaven, but I have many friends among the demon immortals and bandit sects. Among the many wild mountain clusters, the strongest sect is definitely the Dragon Beast Clan, and among them, the Thunder Dragon God is the most terrifying.”
“Good! Tell me more about the Dragon Beast Clan and what exactly the Thunder Dragon God is like.”
As they traveled, Shui Miao and Lian’er communicated through spiritual awareness, gathering more information to better prepare themselves for what lay ahead.
