Yang Feilong carefully examined the Ten-Refinement Furnace and discovered it also sealed a top-grade spiritual artifact embryo, a type that can grow. It hadn't been forged yet, allowing for the continuous addition of premium materials. Its shape could be molded according to the user's wishes.
Moreover, Yang Feilong could tell this furnace was extraordinary; a furnace capable of self-refining weapons was hardly ordinary.
Considering the artifact embryo that could be transformed into a top-grade spiritual artifact at any time, he now possessed two top-grade spiritual artifacts. No, more than two, because the top-grade spiritual artifact furnace could continue to refine more weapons, provided enough high-quality materials were supplied.
Now, Yang Feilong understood why Lord Yan had so many super-grade spiritual artifacts, a full set plus one. They were likely forged using this Ten-Refinement Furnace!
However, he couldn't use this set of equipment yet. It wasn't that he couldn't refine it, but rather that if anyone saw it, not only would those in the Nascent Soul realm be tempted, but even those in the Void Refining and Integration realms would try to seize it!
Even with the super-grade spiritual artifact set, his combat power wouldn't increase significantly, as his current strength was insufficient to fully activate the set's power!
At most, it would grant him strength comparable to, or slightly stronger than, Qingluan!
Of course, when he had time, he could refine them one by one. Once refined, spiritual artifacts of this caliber could be absorbed into the body for use at critical moments, proving quite effective in suitable situations.
Seeing Yang Feilong fall silent for a moment, Qingluan assumed he didn't want to give her a super-grade spiritual artifact. She couldn't help but pout, "If you don't want to give it, then forget it. I don't care for it anyway!"
Seeing Qingluan revert to her arrogant demeanor, Yang Feilong chuckled and said, "If you say something nice, I wouldn't mind gifting you a super-grade spiritual artifact to use."
Upon hearing this, Qingluan's expression immediately changed. She hugged Yang Feilong's arm and said coquettishly, "Good brother, give me one! I can be sweet, soft, and adorable."
Yang Feilong: "..."
Bugbird: "..."
Other demons: "..."
They never expected Lord Qingluan to be this kind of person.
"Wicked creature!" Seeing Qingluan, the wicked creature, clinging to Yang Feilong, she spat, "Shameless old woman! You're so old and still acting cute!"
Qingluan was indeed quite old, possibly older than her grandmother. After all, demons generally lived longer than humans, and she had reached the Nascent Soul realm, implying many years of cultivation!
However, she spoke in Dragon Country's language, not fearing Qingluan's reaction, and primarily directed her words to her man.
Yang Feilong's skin crawled. He truly couldn't stand it. He had initially thought Qingluan was aloof and wouldn't act cute, but when she did, no one could resist it, as her voice was too pleasant and her appearance too beautiful.
Following this, Yang Feilong took out the Wind-Fire Sword and said, "This is the Wind-Fire Sword. Although its quality is slightly inferior to the Gale-Thunder-Fire Sword, it is still a top-tier super-grade spiritual artifact, enough for you to use until you reach the peak of the Void Refining realm!"
"Thank you, brother!" Qingluan excitedly accepted the spiritual artifact and darted to the side, lest Yang Feilong change his mind.
In truth, whether it was the Gale-Thunder-Fire Sword or the Wind-Fire Sword, she couldn't unleash even a tenth of their power with her current strength. Given this, she might as well use one with slightly fewer attributes, as the reduced activation difficulty would result in nearly equal power.
Most importantly, this top-grade spiritual artifact contained wind attributes, and another was fire. This was incredibly rare!
Firstly, she could control it well, and secondly, wind could boost fire, allowing her to unleash the explosive power of the fire attribute within the top-grade spiritual artifact, significantly increasing her attack power.
Gifting Qingluan a super-grade spiritual artifact was primarily to maintain, and even deepen, their bond as contracted partners. Although a contract bound them, this relationship could weaken over time or even dissolve automatically.
After all, if he couldn't leave the demon realm for a period, he would still need Qingluan's help. During this time, it was essential to nurture their relationship as contracted partners!
As long as the contract's power remained, she wouldn't betray him or attack him. How wonderful!
Otherwise, the backlash would instantly cripple or even kill her!
Qingluan saw Bugbird looking somewhat dejected. She then coquettishly said to Yang Feilong, "Brother, could you give me another super..."
Seeing Yang Feilong's expression change, she quickly shifted, "A top-grade spiritual artifact would be fine."
"You already have a top-grade spiritual artifact sword, and now I've given you a super-grade spiritual artifact. You still want another top-grade spiritual artifact?" Yang Feilong asked with dissatisfaction. While he had many top-grade spiritual artifacts, he also had many women!
"Pudding has been with me for a long time. I want to ask for one for her. Can you, my good brother?" Qingluan lowered her posture, looking appeasingly.
"Sister, I don't want it." Pudding shook her head repeatedly. However, her face was filled with gratitude. In reality, even if she didn't get one, it wouldn't matter much, as she and Qingluan were like sisters. It could be said that if Qingluan hadn't saved her back then, she would have already been eaten by foxes. Since then, she had followed Qingluan faithfully.
Yang Feilong immediately understood. Qingluan was asking for it for her good sister. However, this Bugbird was indeed not bad. Of course, it wasn't about her looks, though she wasn't unattractive either. Compared to Qingluan, by human aesthetic standards, Yang Feilong would rate her in the nineties, certainly prettier than Ying Ge, the owl who had transformed into a human form and whom he had killed earlier.
"I saw her using a spear after she transformed, so I'll give her a top-grade spiritual artifact spear!" Yang Feilong said, and with a thought, a spear appeared in his hand.
Thinking about Bugbird fighting with a spear after transforming made him feel a bit strange. Was it after transformation? In her true form, would she hold a spear in her claw or bite it in her mouth while fighting?
The thought seemed absurd no matter how he considered it!
Many demons were not as strong in their transformed state as in their true form. However, this was not absolute. Bugbird's true form was faster in defense and flight speed, while in her transformed state, with the addition of the spiritual artifact spear, her combat power was actually stronger. Of course, her defense and flight speed were weaker. Qingluan was the same!
Therefore, many demons used spiritual artifacts when fighting.
This was because some demons could use spiritual artifacts in their true form, like Lord Spirit Ape, who could use spiritual artifacts in its demon beast form. After all, spirit apes were very similar to humans!
"Thank you, brother." Qingluan happily accepted the spear and then handed it to Bugbird. A flash of cunning flickered in her eyes. She felt she had figured out Yang Feilong's personality: he was tough on the outside, soft on the inside. As long as she acted cute and spoke kindly, he would be agreeable, but if she acted tough, he would be tougher than her!
Once she mastered this rule, hehe, wouldn't Yang Feilong's treasures all be hers in the future?
After all, she was top-tier in appearance. Even by human aesthetic standards, she was a top beauty!
She could act cute, be adorable, gentle, kind, charming, mature, or pitiful; there was no style she couldn't master. Did she need to worry about not being able to handle him?
"Thank you, Lord Yang, thank you, elder sister." Bugbird also expressed her gratitude.
Her previous weapon was only a high-grade spiritual artifact, and not even a top one. Now, it had become a top-grade spiritual artifact, and not just any ordinary one. She had truly upgraded dramatically, with a significant boost in combat power!
As for the Three-Eyed Crow and the other two, Yang Feilong naturally wouldn't give them top-grade spiritual artifacts, as he only controlled them with the Soul Control technique, and they wouldn't harbor any resentment because of it.
The main reason was that giving away too many top-grade spiritual artifacts where outsiders could see them would inevitably arouse suspicion.
This was not a good thing!
