Amethyst Whip and Amethyst Belt

Ye Qiu planned to forge a long whip. He soaked the Wall Patterned Snake's tendons in Demon Shadow Wolf blood and sealed them in a container. Forming hand seals, Ye Qiu released Great Fireball to roast the vessel, allowing the snake tendons to rapidly absorb the berserk energy in the beast blood.

"Ding, Aluminum Alloy Sword, appear!" He severed the Wild Tiger's fangs into several sections. "Crystal Release—Crystal Bowl!" Ye Qiu set down the Aluminum Alloy Sword and immediately formed seals with both hands. A huge crystal bowl appeared out of thin air, catching the severed fangs. "Crystal Release—Crystal Pillar!" Ye Qiu controlled the Crystal Pillar, continuously grinding the Wild Tiger's fangs within the bowl.

Qing Ye sat at the cave entrance. Watching Ye Qiu swing his sword one moment and conjure crystal objects the next, her little mouth fell open, and she was too shocked to speak. Who exactly was he?

"Release!" With a bang, the Crystal Pillar vanished. Ye Qiu reached toward the container with one hand, and it floated into the air before flying into his grasp. Gravity Manipulation.

"This..." Qing Ye, who had been silently watching everything, was utterly stunned. Retrieving objects through the air—how powerful did one have to be to do that?

Ye Qiu grabbed the container and smashed it directly into the crystal bowl. "Ha!" Holding one end of the snake tendon, he continuously rolled it through the bowl, coating it in the Wild Tiger fang powder. "Condense!" Suddenly, the youth tossed the snake tendon into the air and threw a Tier 2 Fire Attribute Magic Core after it. His hands formed mysterious seals, and a stream of energy burst forth, enveloping the snake tendon in midair.

The snake tendon remained suspended in the air for a full quarter of an hour before it completely absorbed the energy's glow. "Heh." Ye Qiu leaped up and caught it in his hand.

Snake tendon—no, it should now be called a long whip. The Wall Patterned Snake's tendon had originally been flexible but far too thin. After absorbing Demon Shadow Wolf blood, it gradually thickened. Ye Qiu then covered its surface with a layer of Wild Tiger fang ash, making it sturdier while masking the tendon's fishy stench. Finally, that magic core perfectly balanced the three different energies within it.

The long whip in his hand was a full six or seven meters long. Its originally emerald-green veins had turned snow-white after being coated with the Wild Tiger fang powder, making it more durable without sacrificing its softness.

"Mm, and this." Ye Qiu divided the egg-sized concentrated crystal into twenty-four rings and slipped them onto the long whip, fixing them firmly in place.

"Are you finished?" the woman's cool voice rang out.

"Ah, more or less. All that's left is the handle, but I haven't decided what to make it from. Besides, it's too long and inconvenient to use." Ye Qiu answered the beauty sitting cross-legged at the cave entrance.

"Is that so? Then why not use that kind of crystal for the handle?" the woman asked. She thought those crystals were excellent—beautiful and hard. Since Ye Qiu had practiced Crystal Release many times here, there were many crystal stones he had created nearby. Qing Ye casually picked one up and discovered that its hardness far exceeded her expectations. In all her life, she had never seen anything harder.

"Hehe, crystal stones are hard, so they're perfect for attacking and defending. That's why I put crystal rings at different points along the whip. But the most important thing for a handle is that it has friction and fits the hand. Crystal stones are too smooth, so they aren't suitable," the youth explained with a smile.

"I see." Hearing Ye Qiu's explanation, Qing Ye nodded.

"I've got it." Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that they were in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where trees were the one thing they did not lack. Wood would be enough for the handles. The system's requirements were not that high anyway; it was not asking him to forge some divine weapon. After all, he was only a Level 1 Artifact Refiner. This would definitely be enough to pass.

He immediately got to work. Ye Qiu chose a rather thick giant tree and used its core to make two handles. Then he split the long whip in two and fitted each half with a handle.

Ding! Mission complete. Reward: one A-Rank Pet Summoning Card, 30,000 Gold Coins. Rewards have been distributed to the system space. The next mission will be issued in seven days. Please wait patiently, Host.

After the handles were installed, the system's voice rang out in Ye Qiu's mind, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

"Qing Ye, this is for you." Ye Qiu handed one of the whips to the woman.

"Ah, you're giving this to me?" Looking at the whip before her, about three meters long and set with twelve Amethyst Stone rings, the woman said in shock. She had personally witnessed its entire creation process. She knew it was definitely a fine weapon, at least a hundred times better than the dagger she had used before.

"Mm, yes. It was too long originally, so I split it in two. One is enough for me, and you don't have a weapon yet, right? With it, you'll be safer too," Ye Qiu said.

"Thank you. What is it called?" Perhaps the youth was right, and she really did need a weapon now. Or perhaps she could not resist the allure of those twelve Amethyst Stones Ye Qiu had carefully made. In the end, the woman accepted the gift.

"A name? I haven't thought of one, but since it's set with Amethyst Stones, how about calling it the Amethyst Whip?" Ye Qiu rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

"Amethyst Whip? Then yours will be called the Amethyst Whip, and mine will be called the Amethyst Belt." As she spoke, Qing Ye folded it in half and wrapped it around her waist.

"Uh... a belt."

"What? Isn't this great? I can take it out to fight when I'm in battle, and wear it as a belt when I don't need it. A belt made of amethyst. Did you expect me to carry a whip in my hand all the time?"

Hearing her words, Ye Qiu automatically imagined her going around whipping people with it, and he could not help but shudder. That image was so beautiful it was almost unbearable.
