Ling Cair gently opened her fair little hand. The ball of light unraveled into countless transparent threads, blooming with nine-colored radiance that filled the entire cave in an instant.
The colorful threads illuminated the cave. Beichen immediately sensed their powerful aura and surging spiritual energy, and activated his Divine Tortoise Eyes to investigate.
A message appeared in his mind: "Chaos Nine Heavens Rainbow Spirit Silk! It contains supreme chaotic Dao power and can be used for defense or woven into a net to capture things! This spirit silk is extremely perceptive. Even the tiniest spiritual creature will be detected as long as it emits a trace of spiritual energy."
"Ling Cair, do you know what this is?" Beichen asked.
At his question, Ling Cair hurriedly shook her head. "Reporting to Master, Cair doesn't know!"
"Cair only felt that this thing had an extraordinary aura and remarkable spiritual resonance, with incredibly potent Dao power. I thought it must be a great treasure, so I brought it for Master to see!" Ling Cair bit her lip. "Master, is something wrong?"
"Nothing. This thing is called Chaos Nine Heavens Rainbow Spirit Silk, and its name shares a character with yours. There's some karmic connection between you."
"What does Master mean?"
Ling Cair's heart leapt with joy.
Beichen took the countless strands of rainbow spirit silk in his hands and studied them for a long while before saying, "This can be made into clothing. How about I weave you a rainbow-colored dress?"
"Ah? Master wants to use this to make Cair clothes?"
Ling Cair's eyes widened, and tears of gratitude welled in them.
"What is it? Do you think these threads are ugly and don't want them?"
"No, no, Cair didn't mean that. The rainbow spirit silk comes in nine colors, and it's dazzling and beautiful. I like it very much!" Ling Cair hurriedly explained. "It's just that I can't possibly trouble Master to make clothes for me. That would be too much!"
"Hey, don't say that!" Beichen waved his hand kindly. "Although we're master and servant, fate brought us together. You and I needn't cling to those empty formalities. In front of others, you should treat me as your master. In private, you can regard me as a fellow cultivator—or even family!"
"Master!" Two streams of tears ran down Ling Cair's cheeks. "You saved me, and now you're being so kind to me! No one has ever made clothes for me before!"
Ling Cair had been born during the Dragon-Phoenix Initial Tribulation. From the day she was born, all she had seen was her people fighting and killing one another. They cared only about ruling the world. When had she ever known such tenderness?
"Do you want it or not?"
"I do! If Master makes me clothes, I'll certainly wear them. Cair couldn't ask for anything more!" Ling Cair said excitedly.
"Good!"
In the days that followed, Beichen began sorting through the nine-colored threads, studying the Dao contained within them and comprehending their laws until he understood them completely.
Only after fully mastering the Dao power of the Chaos Nine Heavens Rainbow Spirit Silk did he begin to use it.
However, he didn't make clothes for Ling Cair right away. Instead, he wove an exquisite net.
Once the net was complete, he went to the vast waters of Penglai on the Three Immortal Islands and cast it in.
When he pulled it back up, he had caught countless fierce aquatic beasts and innate spirit fish.
Every one of these aquatic creatures was exceptionally fierce. Ordinary magical treasures could hardly subdue them. Some had even reached the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, making them incredibly powerful.
Unfortunately, the aquatic beasts that had reached the Grand Unity level had barely developed any intelligence. They charged about inside the net, struggling with enough force to rival a human cultivator at the middle Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Their strength was terrifying.
But no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free with the net in place. It was so resilient that they couldn't tear it apart at all.
Only when Beichen's divine sense descended did the net open. The aquatic creatures promptly fled into the depths of the vast waters, never daring to come near again.
Beichen put away the net, a pleased smile on his face. "This net is at least as powerful as the one cast by Changxi's Moon Star Annihilation Divine Ball. Although I made this treasure myself, the chaotic rainbow spirit silk is an exceptionally high-grade material. As a result, this net has reached the level of a top-grade acquired spirit treasure!"
In truth, the Chaos Nine Heavens Rainbow Spirit Silk wasn't this powerful on its own. Beichen had comprehended the material's power and skillfully arranged its structure, making the threads support one another with exquisite precision. That was what had created such a sturdy binding net.
"This is a spirit treasure, so it needs a name!" Beichen thought for a moment. "I'll call it the Chaos Nine Heavens God Capturing Net!"
After naming it, Beichen put the net away in his storage item for future use!
This was the first magical treasure he had made with his own hands, and it carried his own Dao aura and fortune. Among acquired treasures in the primordial world, it was a top-tier treasure.
With the net finished, Beichen began making immortal clothes for Ling Cair.
Making immortal clothes was quite different from weaving a fishing net. Their main purposes were beauty and defense, and beauty came first.
If the clothes worn by his mount didn't look good, it would reflect badly on him!
So Beichen put a great deal of effort into it, trying countless ways of joining the threads. He considered not only their appearance but also their defensive power.
Over the next hundred years, the three of them saw Beichen spend every day pondering the immortal clothes, utterly absorbed and painstakingly attentive.
Mo Yuan and Yan Lie found it strange that their master had taken up needlework and was so devoted to it.
Ling Cair, however, was deeply moved and would secretly watch Beichen from time to time.
A hundred years later, a gorgeous nine-colored immortal garment was finally finished. Beichen called Ling Cair over and helped her put it on.
"Ah! It's so beautiful!"
Mo Yuan and Yan Lie were both there, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Yan Lie couldn't help muttering, "How did I never realize before that Ling Cair was so beautiful?"
"Hmph. That's because we used to see her as our mortal enemy and couldn't stand to notice her beauty!"
Yan Lie chuckled. "So you admit Ling Cair is beautiful too? But this immortal garment makes her even more beautiful!"
"This immortal garment..." Mo Yuan furrowed his brow. "Such powerful defensive energy! It's certainly beautiful, but it's also a defensive spirit treasure, with immense protective power!"
As he spoke, Mo Yuan couldn't resist striking the garment with his palm, boldly testing his theory.
Boom!
Nine beams of light flashed across the immortal garment, and its Dao power surged. Mo Yuan was sent flying and slammed into the wall with a thud.
"Defensive power at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage!"
Mo Yuan spat out a mouthful of black water, astonished.
"Master!" Mo Yuan hurried forward. "I humbly ask Master to make an immortal garment for me too!"
Before Beichen could answer, Yan Lie seized the chance and hurried over. "Master, could you make one for your subordinate too?"
"These immortal garments are mainly for defense. You two? You're thick-skinned and tough. What do you need immortal garments for?"
The two hadn't expected Beichen to refuse outright. They both cried out inwardly, Master favors Ling Cair! He's playing favorites!
"Isn't it only natural that Master favors Ling Cair? He even said he likes riding Ling Cair and doesn't like riding us. That explains it!" Yan Lie whispered.
"Go on, then." Beichen waved his hand, then turned away. "I still need to make two more immortal garments!"
Hearing Beichen mutter, Mo Yuan and Yan Lie brightened. "Master agreed to make immortal garments for us!"
Beichen paid them no mind, merely thinking, "Xihe and Changxi must be quite far along in their pregnancies by now. I should make them two Immortal Skirts—elegant and dignified, with a graceful, refined style!"
