Chen Mobai could tell that Qingfeng True Monarch's Pure Clean Finger, in terms of raw power alone, had actually already reached the sixth order, with the Great Dao of Wind fused into it.
In theory, the Kui Beast hide should have been cut by it.
After all, although it contained the Great Dao Power of Armor that the Kui Beast had been so proud of, because the Kui Beast was dead, more than half of its Dao Resonance had long since dispersed.
"Looks like when I stripped it away, I preserved the related Dao Resonance rather completely. I overlooked this matter. Fellow Daoist, set it aside for now. Later, let the Purple Lightning Sword handle it."
Chen Mobai immediately smoothed things over for Qingfeng True Monarch. The latter's expression kept shifting, and he was of a mind to take out his Carefree Wandering Sky Fan to augment the Pure Clean Finger and try again.
But considering that if he failed again, he would lose every shred of face, and that this was his strongest method besides, exposing it for the sake of a single breath of pride would be exceedingly unwise.
So in the end, Qingfeng True Monarch drew in a deep breath, his face full of shame, and placed the small piece of Kui Beast hide in his hand on another table.
"I have made a spectacle of myself before you all."
Seeing that Qingfeng True Monarch was actually so rational, all the Spirit Transmutation cultivators present, including Chen Mobai, were somewhat surprised.
"Not at all, not at all. Isn't the art of artifact refining precisely something that requires the courage to try, so one can grow amid repeated failures? Fellow Daoist tested the waters first for us. You are truly a model for our generation."
