Strength Lasts a Moment, but Looking Cool Lasts a Lifetime!

Although it was unclear what Chu Xinghe was thinking, Xuanwu still attached great importance to taming the Nebula Spirit Cat.

After all, look... we're both one of the Four Sacred Beasts, am I, Xuanwu, inferior to Azure Dragon?

It seems a bit lacking...

So, is my Xuanwu weaker than my White Tiger? Hmm... it seems a bit weaker...

And then there's the Vermilion Bird... Look what the Vermilion Bird has done to the Dark Moon Palace... Even if I, the Xuanwu, am worse than the Vermilion Bird, right?

The Azure Dragon was making numerous contributions to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, so the Xuanwu secretly went to take a look...

Seeing the Azure Dragon working tirelessly day and night, the Xuanwu almost peed its pants in anger...

You little Azure Dragon... you really are a repressed pervert!

You used to be so nonchalant... acting like you didn't care about anything, so detached from worldly affairs... But look at you now... You don't even rest for a second every day, you're risking everything to help the Vast Heaven Holy Land, aren't you!

And if you're going to help, fine, but you, Azure Dragon, are still laughing at my Xuanwu?

You, Azure Dragon, declared you had no will to live without a second thought... Is that really what it means to have no will to live?

This is clearly Versailles!

Are you trying to make me Xuanwu, feel ashamed? Do you want me Xuanwu, to see how capable you, Azure Dragon, are?

Azure Dragon! You are utterly shameless!

Even if White Tiger wanted to learn Xuanwu's ability to give lectures, he couldn't...

But Xuanwu also wanted to do something for the Vast Heaven Holy Land... Xuanwu expressed that he also wanted to help Chu Xinghe...

So now that these Nebula Spirit Cats have been delivered, I, Xuanwu, will do my utmost to help Chu Xinghe tame them.

As for taming the Nebula Spirit Cat, it would have been incredibly easy for Xuanwu in the past.

Nebula Spirit Cat born with a chaotic nature, but during its growth process, it may come into contact with all sorts of chaotic forces, resulting in the power within Nebula Spirit Cat being impure.

Under normal circumstances, whoever obtains the Nebula Spirit Cat need to gradually remove all the messy powers from it before it can fully unleash its Nebula Spirit Cat Power of Chaos.

If it were a being like Xuanwu, eliminating the chaotic powers on the Nebula Spirit Cat would be a very simple matter.

Xuanwu knew he was cursed with bad luck, but why should Xuanwu panic over something so simple!

That very day, Xuanwu began helping Chu Xinghe tame the Nebula Spirit Cat... and the first step in taming it was naturally to help the Nebula Spirit Cat eliminate the chaotic powers within it...

It has to be said that Xuanwu is quite capable... With Xuanwu's intervention... its first skill began to thoroughly cleanse the chaotic power from the Nebula Spirit Cat's body...

But Xuanwu has more than one trick up his sleeve; he has a second one... As the chaotic power dissipated... the Power of Chaos on the Nebula Spirit Cat also began to dissipate...

Xuanwu was completely dumbfounded as he watched the Nebula Spirit Cat be wiped clean in such a short time...

Is my bad luck with Xuanwu) really that bad?

No... there must have been a problem with my technique before... Let's try again...

Then Xuanwu started taming the other Nebula Spirit Cats again... but no matter how Xuanwu tamed them, it was always the same result: every Nebula Spirit Cat that had been tamed turned into a blank slate...

What should we call this Nebula Spirit Cat without the Power of Chaos? Xuanwu doesn't know what to call it, Xuanwu only knows... What the hell should I do now? I need help urgently!

In the Dark Moon Palace, Vermilion Bird emerged from the still-burning fire, his face covered in soot.

This is the second fire today... In just a few days, Vermilion Bird has lost count of how many times he has set fire to the Dark Moon Palace.

Vermilion Bird is now burning to the point of despair...

Is this Spirit Pattern Cloth really that overpowered? Is it really that difficult to just slightly enhance it?

Is there absolutely no chance to improve the talismans that Hu Wenhai created?

Even if he's using the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, my Vermilion Bird is still a sacred beast... Is the difference really that big?

Chu Xinghe personally went to the Dark Moon Palace to comfort Vermilion Bird, who had fallen into a state of despair!

Chu Xinghe said, "Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... how many times have you failed? Think back to the Muyue Kingdom back then, they went through countless hardships to obtain the Crystal of Xinghe. How many times did they fail? Did they ever give up?"

So you can't give up!

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words of comfort, Vermilion Bird's confidence was rekindled... and so was the Dark Moon Palace...

After burning everything in a fire, Vermilion Bird, with teary eyes, ran to the Muyue Kingdom to find Mu Bai to ask him how many times they had failed... in order to seek comfort.

Upon hearing the arrival of the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, Mu Bai said, "Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, Senior Brother Xinghe is right... Back then, our Muyue Kingdom failed countless times in our efforts to cultivate the Crystal of Xinghe... but we never gave up."

"How many times exactly?" Vermilion Bird's eyes were full of anticipation!

"Hmm... about seventeen or eighteen times!"

Vermilion Bird: "???"

Is this even human language? You people from the Muyue Kingdom call seventeen or eighteen times a lot? Vermilion Bird immediately retorted, "Mu Bai, are you trying to trick me?"

Upon being exposed for his lie by the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, Mu Bai blushed deeply and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry, Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... I, Mu Bai, did lie... not seventeen or eighteen times... but eleven times... I deliberately said it a few more times..."

The Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird didn't know how he returned to the Dark Moon Palace, but Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird knew that he never wanted to play with the people of the Muyue Kingdom again... They couldn't speak human language at all!

Look at the way they comfort people...

"Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, you misunderstand... We truly did not mean to belittle you... Our Muyue Kingdom also frequently fails. You see, as our cultivation levels rise, we can only refine divine and superior-grade pills now... We constantly fail at refining low-grade pills..."

"Yes, yes... Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, our Muyue Kingdom has actually had a tough time. We can't succeed at everything... Quick, quick, let's all think together about what we failed at... Hmm... Hmm... Okay... Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, don't worry, we'll definitely be able to figure out what we didn't do..."

Vermilion Bird returned to the Dark Moon Palace with tears in his eyes...

Vermilion Bird said that she really felt comforted in the Muyue Kingdom... really... it was incredibly healing...

But Vermilion Bird is truly determined. Despite failing countless times, Vermilion Bird started a brand new round of research on Spirit Pattern Cloth.

The Spirit Pattern Cloth was made using talismans, and after so many days of research, Vermilion Bird had roughly figured out the properties of the Spirit Pattern Cloth.

The entire Spirit Pattern Cloth actually possesses the Spirit Power of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If only the fire element is enhanced, the five elements will instantly become unbalanced, and the Spirit Pattern Cloth will spontaneously combust.

The Vermilion Bird attempted to use the power of fire to simultaneously enhance the power of the five elements...

It must be said that Vermilion Bird's mastery of fire has truly reached an unparalleled level...

The Vermilion Bird can integrate the power of fire into the three elements of metal, wood, and earth, but water and fire are inherently incompatible. No matter how hard the Vermilion Bird tries, it cannot make water and fire blend together, as this violates the rules of nature.

Since water cannot be combined with fire, other forces naturally cannot maintain their balance.

Even with all its might, Vermilion Bird could only keep the power of fire outside the power of water, forming a layer of power that did not interfere with the power of water.

With the power of flames enveloping the power of the five elements, the Spirit Pattern Cloth did not spontaneously combust for the first time.

But it was no use... Vermilion Bird knew he had failed, because although the Spirit Pattern Cloth not spontaneously combust, it was not strengthened either.

Looking at the Spirit Pattern Cloth she had improved, although it was covered by clusters of illusory flames on the surface, making it seem as if a golden flame was burning on it, Vermilion Bird knew that this was just an illusion, and these golden flames could not bring any actual enhancement to the Spirit Pattern Cloth.

Helpless, Vermilion Bird tossed aside the Spirit Pattern Cloth, which was constantly burning with golden spirit fire and looked explosive but had no practical effect, and prepared to continue researching how to Water-Fire Fusion.

Just as Vermilion Bird was about to make another move, a voice came from not far away. "Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, you succeeded?"

Ma Liang walked in from outside with a look of surprise, and then picked up the Spirit Pattern Cloth that the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird had just thrown on the ground!

"It's Ma Liang... You're overthinking it... You failed! The Spirit Pattern Cloth in your hand only has the effect of flames, but it doesn't enhance any power... It's a failure!" Vermilion Bird shook her head helplessly.

It's all show and no substance!

But when Vermilion Bird said that, Ma Liang's eyes lit up!

At this moment, Ma Liang held that piece of Spirit Pattern Cloth... Just as Vermilion Bird had said, the golden spirit fire on the Spirit Pattern Cloth did not enhance the cloth at all. However, since Vermilion Bird had personally crafted this Spirit Pattern Cloth fire, it was absolutely safe. Even if you were an ordinary person without any Spirit Power, you would not be burned by the spirit fire on the Spirit Pattern Cloth if you came into contact with it!

In other words... while this Spirit Pattern Cloth didn't enhance the effects, its appearance was absolutely stunning!

Ma Liang was so excited he almost peed himself!

Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... the strength of this Spirit Pattern Cloth can only be shown in battle, but... being cool is a lifelong thing!

Good heavens! At this moment, as Ma Liang draped the Spirit Pattern Cloth over his body, golden spirit fire instantly surrounded Ma Liang. The golden spirit fire was like a super light effect attached to Ma Liang's body... The effect made even Ma Liang, who looked like this, appear majestic and extraordinary when enveloped in it!

If you were to find a few professionals to wear these Spirit Pattern Cloth outfits with spirit fire effects... wouldn't that be blindingly bright?!

Whether someone is strong or not is a matter of a moment... but whether someone is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime!

Ma Liang dared not delay for a moment and immediately found the craftsmen at the weaving workshop. Then, according to Ma Liang's requirements, a set of clothes was made from this piece of Spirit Pattern Cloth. The moment the clothes were completed, golden spirit fire transformed into a soaring fiery Vermilion Bird that continuously flew slowly over the Spirit Pattern Cloth. When Ma Liang put on the clothes again, the effect of the spirit fire reached its peak with the tailor's enhancement!

Looking at the dazzling, Spirit Pattern Cloth robe, Ma Liang had only one thought in that instant... This is... an incredible windfall!
