"Bah! Shameless!"
Su Bai walked out of Xu Changge's room.
She kept muttering to herself.
At this moment, she only felt a bit weak in her body.
She didn't know where to put the soft measuring tape in her hand.
Just then, Xu Changge also walked out of the room, tidying her collar and somewhat disheveled hair.
She looked at Su Bai, who was grumbling, and let out a soft laugh.
"Hehe, didn't you want to design a well-fitting outfit for me?"
"Why do you act like you're at a disadvantage after taking advantage of me?"
Xu Changge's bell-like laughter reached Su Bai's ears.
It almost made Su Bai's expression falter.
This Xu Changge had provoked her in the room.
Su Bai was not a timid person, so she immediately retaliated!
It could only be said that she was indeed the Xu Family Old Ancestor, full of charm.
Only then did she realize that there was a gap between people.
Last time, when Xu Changge gave Su Bai clothes, they were decent and well-fitting.
It seemed like she had measured them by eye.
But Su Bai didn't have that ability.
She had never bought ready-made clothes, and her clothing styles hadn't changed for years.
Naturally, she wasn't sensitive to body measurements.
She came to ask Xu Changge because she wanted to give her a close-fitting scale armor.
Who knew she would encounter such a situation.
Fortunately, Su Bai was not one to suffer a loss.
She immediately counterattacked Xu Changge with righteous indignation.
Hearing Xu Changge still provoking her, Su Bai snorted coldly.
"I didn't expect Sister Xu to be so aggressive. She really has a fierce look about her, unlike ordinary people. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to find a Dao Companion in the future."
Facing Su Bai's cold tone, Xu Changge covered half of her face with her long sleeve, not letting Su Bai see her expression.
She shook her head slightly and said:
"Sister's heart for cultivating the Dao is firm; she doesn't need to find a Dao Companion. However, looking at younger sister's short stature, I don't even need to look to know that her Physique is probably the same as mine."
Xu Changge did not back down.
Su Bai could only shake her head.
"Shameless indeed. I wonder if she's gotten older, and her skin has thickened."
After saying that, Su Bai directly left on her sword.
Leaving Xu Changge standing in front of her room door.
After Su Bai left.
A blush finally appeared on Xu Changge's calm face.
She gently placed her hand on her chest.
Feeling her rapidly beating heart.
"Sigh, the mature and steady image I've always maintained was completely broken by this girl today."
She shook her head helplessly.
She thought of the scene where she provoked Su Bai in the room, only for Su Bai to disregard martial ethics and directly launch a fierce frontal assault.
Xu Changge's face wasn't just red; even her ears were flushed.
She quickly took two deep breaths to suppress the surging hot blood pressure.
"Younger sister was truly bold this time."
"Hmph hmph~"
Although Su Bai's somewhat aloof demeanor in the past had not prepared Xu Changge for today's situation.
She was clearly very happy.
After Su Bai left the Xu Family's station.
She flew directly back to Ebony Island.
To refine a Spiritual Artifact, she naturally couldn't do it on Six Extremes Mountain.
Her own territory was the quietest place.
After knowing Xu Changge's body measurements, Su Bai only took five days to refine the close-fitting scale armor.
The entire piece used Dragon scales, with soft Spiritual Silkworm silk lining the inside, strung together with Dragon tendons.
It was also engraved with various Formations. Besides the most basic Dust-Cleansing Spell, the defensive Formations made it an impenetrable fortress.
Wearing it would definitely be warm in winter and cool in summer, incredibly comfortable.
Its defensive power was not inferior even compared to a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.
After the scale armor was completed.
Su Bai held it in her palm and examined it twice more.
"Excellent, truly worthy of being made by me. This scale armor shall be called the Dragon Scale Inner Armor."
After the Dragon Scale Inner Armor was completed.
Su Bai began to forge her own Spiritual Artifact.
There were still many Dragon scales left.
So Su Bai planned to use the remaining scales and Dragon bones for refining.
And add some other Materials.
Such as the Wumu from the island.
Currently, Su Bai still couldn't refine the third-tier Spiritual Wood, Qingyun Thunder Bamboo, otherwise, she would have added it in.
This time, Su Bai spent a full ten days on her own Spiritual Artifact.
What finally appeared before Su Bai was a square box as black as ink, unusually heavy and large enough to fit a person, and a heavy sword as tall as Su Bai herself, but with a surface glowing with white jade luster.
"Ink Scale Sword Casket, dragon subduing sword."
After the two Spiritual Artifacts were successfully refined.
Su Bai stretched out her hands and caressed them.
This Dragon truly lived up to its name.
Even though Su Bai's Artifact Refining technique wasn't particularly skillful.
She could still refine such a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.
For an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, a few Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts combined would be enough to last through the entire Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Retrieve."
While refining them, Su Bai had already refined these two Spiritual Artifacts.
Now, controlling them was as easy as flipping her hand.
Under Su Bai's command, the Ink Scale Sword Casket opened, directly taking in the dragon subduing sword.
Then Su Bai turned the Ink Scale Sword Casket horizontally and carried it on her back.
After summoning a water mirror using a Spell.
Su Bai turned around twice with the sword casket on her back.
"Not bad, quite the imposing presence."
"It's just that this sword casket is a bit heavy."
When she was refining it, she only thought about creating a sense of oppression, so she kept adding Materials.
She didn't expect the refined sword casket to be so large.
Like a coffin.
But it didn't matter.
She liked it very much.
Besides, the weapons used by Cultivators were all sorts of strange. It was quite normal for her to carry such a heavy sword casket on her back.
If she didn't want to draw attention to herself normally.
She could just put it into her Storage Pouch.
After observing her appearance.
Su Bai put the sword casket into her Storage Pouch.
It was better not to be so ostentatious in Xingluo Market.
As for why she would make such a conspicuous Spiritual Artifact if she didn't want to be ostentatious.
Su Bai could only say that it was her hobby.
She liked it.
Now, Su Bai's combat power as a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator was already maximized.
Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique, Spells, and Spiritual Artifacts were all complete.
Next, she would supplement with auxiliary items, such as second-tier Medicinal Pills and Talismans.
What remained to be improved now were Formations and Puppets.
Of course, Spiritual Pets as well.
Su Bai estimated that her little Dragon wouldn't be able to become a combat force for the next few years.
As for Formations and Puppets, these two were also difficult to obtain.
Perhaps she would have to use her merits in the future to try her luck at the Green Bamboo Sword Sect's Cultivation Technique pavilion to see if she could find them.
Things here were already handled.
Su Bai would now go and give the Dragon Scale Inner Armor to Xu Changge.
After Xu Changge received this gift from Su Bai.
The joy on her face could not be hidden, and she didn't intend to hide it.
This was the inner armor personally refined by Su Bai.
Wearing it in the future would be like having Su Bai by her side…
"Thank you so much, younger sister. Sister likes it very much."
Xu Changge eagerly returned to her room, quickly putting on the Dragon Scale Inner Armor.
After the inner armor was put on, it was as if it wasn't there, completely concealed.
This was naturally something Su Bai specifically designed.
The goal was to appear unguarded, but in reality, be armed to the teeth.
Seeing the effect of Xu Changge wearing it, Su Bai also nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as you like it."
"In that case, I'll head back to the Patrol Team first."
"I've been refining Spiritual Artifacts these past few days, so I've taken a very long break."
"If I don't go back soon, I'll seem irresponsible."
After speaking, Su Bai prepared to leave.
Just then, Xu Changge pulled Su Bai's arm.
And softly said:
"Thank you."
Su Bai was a little puzzled. Hadn't she already said thank you? Why say it again?
"No need to thank me, Sister. You've taken care of me for so many years. This is just a small gift."
"Hmm, but I still want to say thank you."
After expressing her feelings, Xu Changge finally allowed Su Bai to leave.
