After Situ Xuanwu refined Lingli's five-colored scales, she first removed all impurities, then stored them in a jade vial for later use. Next, she pulled out some reddish tiger fur from an Eighth Order tiger hide, erased the formation patterns from Yunxi's red robe with dark golden designs, and tossed it all into the artifact-refining furnace.
Under the high heat, the robe immediately melted into a pool of red liquid, and the gold threads were extracted as well. Situ Xuanwu thoroughly removed the impurities from both materials, then added the refined Lingli scales to the red liquid and let them melt together. Right afterward, she fused the tiger fur into the gold threads.
Once both materials had stabilized, she used her divine sense as a guide, directing the gold threads through the red liquid shimmering with five-colored light, as though she were weaving cloth. After the two materials had steadily combined, she began pulling at the liquid with her divine sense. Gradually, the shape of a robe appeared before everyone's eyes.
Once Situ Xuanwu saw the robe take shape, she prepared to inscribe formation patterns upon it. Dustproofing, fire resistance, water avoidance, and enhanced defense—these were the most commonly used formation patterns on robes, and also the ones that improved their defensive effects.
After thinking for a moment, Yunxi spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, can I inscribe the formations on the robe myself?"
Situ Xuanwu readily agreed.

Yunxi raised a hand and used spiritual power to outline the simplest fire-resistant, dustproof, and water-avoidance formation patterns. However, she replaced all of those patterns with divine script. Thus, after three formation patterns landed one after another on the robe in the artifact-refining furnace, the red robe glowing with five-colored light became somewhat unstable.
Seeing this, Situ Xuanming blurted out from the
