All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

This is a win-win situation.

While setting up the formation, she heard another piece of news.

This was told to her by a disciple of Zhulongyuan.

When she set up the formation, the disciples of Zhulongyuan followed to protect her and obeyed her instructions.

While chatting out of boredom, he mentioned that he had encountered a demon while he was out, and that the demon was cursing Feng Ning even as he died.

Feng Ning was also curious, and only after listening did she understand the truth.

This disciple is the only one with a lightning spiritual root in the Candle Dragon Academy.

It is also the only lightning spirit root in the Xuanling Continent to date.

He's practically the nemesis of the Xiao Yi.

He discovered the demon and killed it immediately. While killing the demon, the demon was actually cursing Feng Ning.

Out of curiosity, he asked the man's name and learned that he was Gu Wenlang.

He was saved by Xiao Yi by a twist of fate, but later died at the hands of this person.

Feng Ning hadn't expected this last move, but so be it, he was already destined to die anyway.

And she finally met the legendary one and only Thunder Spirit Root.

However, this is something they simply don't know, since Feng Ning does know that Ye Yuan also has a lightning spiritual root.

No one knows where Ye Yuan went; he hasn't come back yet.

As time passed day by day, Feng Ning finally completed the teleportation array.

However, not everyone can use the teleportation array.

Feng Ning currently still holds control of the teleportation array.

On the eve of the formation's completion, Ye Yuan finally returned.

He brought the gift he had spent so much time making.

Feng Ning stared at the exquisite hairpin, momentarily lost in thought.

"Boss, why did you give me this hairpin?"

You shouldn't just give hairpins to a man and a woman randomly, right? It's a bit ambiguous...

Ye Yuan handed her the hairpin, "Didn't you say the space couldn't be opened when you were in meditation last time? If you encounter a similar situation again and can't take out your sword, how will you protect yourself?"

Feng Ning thought for a moment, then pointed to the hairpin and said, "Do you expect me to use it to kill someone?"

Ye Yuan laughed in exasperation, "It's just a scabbard. You can put your sword in it, and you won't need to keep it in your spatial storage anymore."

If that's not enough, we can make more for her later.

Feng Ning was somewhat moved.

"Thank you, boss."

Ye Yuan nodded seriously, "No need to thank me, keep it. Also, take out your sword, I'll reforge it for you."

"what?"

"These swords of yours are of too low grade. I'll reforge them for you. Don't worry, the sword spirits will still be there."

Feng Ning immediately handed over all the swords with a smile.

Ye Yuan then took his sword and left.

The next morning, all nine swords had been returned.

Feng Ning looked at those miniature swords, her lips twitching.

"Are you kidding me? My long, imposing sword has been reduced to less than a finger's length by you? This thing... I'd rather use my ice needles..."

She doesn't need a scabbard anymore; she can use her spiritual power. Why bother with that?

Ye Yuan tapped her on the head. "Is your head empty? A watermelon has flesh inside, don't you use it?"

Feng Ning rubbed the spot where he had hit her, looking speechless. "I entrusted my precious thing to you, and you've ruined it like this. How dare you hit me?"

Ye Yuan didn't explain to her. With a casual wave of his hand, the swords returned to their original state.

Feng Ning's eyes lit up.

"So it can be restored to its original state!"

"Otherwise? You'll use ice needles?"

Feng Ning was a little embarrassed, but she happily took the swords back, saying, "No need, no need, swords are still the best."

She even sensed it, and the sword spirits inside were all there, and they were all the original sword spirits.

She was even happier.

Seeing that he was happy, Ye Yuan added fuel to the fire, "These are a few new ones I made for you last night when I was bored. You can name them yourself. They are all of higher quality than the ones you had before."

Feng Ning's eyes lit up when she saw the three more swords flying out.

She looked at the shortest one and said, "This one looks short and sharp, so let's call it Qinghe."

The other one looked rather imposing; "This one is called Breaking Mountain."

She looked at the last one, "Why can't I sense any aura from this sword? Doesn't it have a sword spirit?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "First, acknowledge me as your master. You'll understand after that."

Following his instructions, Feng Ning first acknowledged him as her master.

She soon learned the benefits of the sword.

"Damn, this is impossible to guard against!"

Ye Yuan smiled. "Consider this your trump card. You should treat it well and give it a name."

Feng Ning thought for a moment and said, "Ya Jiu... let's call him Ya Jiu!"

"Isn't it the twelfth one?"

Feng Ning shook her head. "It's not a matter of quantity. It's that the moment I saw it, I wanted to call it that."

"Okay, whatever you say, it's all yours."

Feng Ning happily placed all the swords into her hairpin.

The hairpin, shaped like a spider lily, features nine swords nestled within a circle of petals, seamlessly integrated into the hairpin, creating a mesmerizingly beautiful design.

She couldn't help but marvel at the man's skill.

"Boss, you're still a weapon refiner, right?"

Ye Yuan smiled. "You could say that."

"Is there anything you can't do? You can forge weapons and draw talismans, so do you know how to form formations, refine pills, and even tame beasts?"

Ye Yuan put his hand to his lips and coughed. "Ahem! I know a little."

Feng Ning was speechless. "Everyone says I'm a genius, but you seem to be much more of a genius than me. How did you learn so many things? Can a person really concentrate on studying and learn so many things?"

Ye Yuan's thoughts drifted away, "Life is long, and there's nothing else to do besides learning these things."

Feng Ning quickly stopped talking; she didn't want to hear any secrets, so she decided to stop.

"If it weren't for our boss being the most powerful, we wouldn't be able to do it."

Ye Yuan suddenly moved closer, "I gave you a gift, shouldn't you give me one too?"

Feng Ning tilted her head and looked at him, "What have you taken a fancy to?"

"Qingyi".

Feng Ning immediately looked at him warily, "How could you want it? It's my only Qing Si that has gained sentience."

Ye Yuan looked at her helplessly, "Then how about Qing Er?"

Feng Ning quickly shook her head, "Without Qing Er, there's only this one with a brain."

Helpless, Ye Yuan pulled a little creature out of her hair.

"Then who is it?"

Feng Ning stared in shock at the little guy he was holding. Good heavens, he really was something else.

Watching the little guy kicking and stretching its claws, isn't that a sign that it has developed intelligence? How could a creature without intelligence be so agile?

She looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know it had a brain?"

It's impossible to explain even with a long mouth.
