Seeing East King Duke, who was being beaten to the point of questioning his life by Di Jun and Di Jiang's combined assault.

Zhao Gongming had no intention of letting him off the hook so easily.

"Senior East King Duke."

Zhao Gongming rubbed his fingers with a smile.

"Even though you apologized, my little sister was frightened. Shouldn't the emotional distress compensation be calculated?"

East King Duke's mouth twitched. He looked at Di Jun and Di Jiang, who were eyeing him menacingly, and could only grit his teeth and swallow his pride.

"Take it, I'll give it!"

He painfully took out a mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, radiating a hazy divine light, and threw it to Bixiao.

Bixiao took the Spirit Treasure and played with it happily, giving Zhao Gongming a thumbs-up.

"Big Brother is mighty, this was worth it!"

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Di Jun and Di Jiang also snorted coldly.

"Hmph, you're lucky today!"

East King Duke snorted coldly. To save his last shred of dignity.

He flicked his sleeve and turned into a stream of light, leaving in a seemingly dashing but actually embarrassed manner.

Di Jun patted Zhao Gongming's shoulder and said heartily.

"Little friend Zhao, if you ever face difficulties, just come to me. My Demon Court will be your backing!"

After speaking, Di Jun took Lu Ya and others back to the Demon Court.

Di Jiang, on the other hand, weighed the storage bag he had just extorted, grinning from ear to ear, and muttered to himself.

"Hehehe, I've made a killing again!"

"Awesome, so awesome!"

"This magic treasure is simply a path to riches!"

"Should I specifically go find other powerful beings to stage accidents and extort money in the future?"

"For example, that old fellow Ming He is quite wealthy..."

Di Jiang muttered as he tore through space and disappeared.

Zhao Gongming, who happened to overhear this, froze.

"Holy crap?!"

"Di Jiang, this guy... is going to narrow his path!"

"If he really goes around the world staging accidents, and other powerful beings find out that this magic treasure was refined by me..."

Zhao Gongming imagined himself being beaten up by Patriarch Ming He, Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, and others, and couldn't help but shiver.

"No, I need to be more low-key from now on!"

"Cough, cough, disperse, everyone, go do what you need to do!"

Zhao Gongming waved his hand, dispersing the onlookers who were still watching the excitement.

Immediately, the Human Race plaza returned to its state of chaotic revelry.

Xuandu continued to shout for Hulatang Guai Guai, Cihang continued to transform into a demon immortal, Medicine Master continued to sing nursery rhymes, and Lu Ya continued to meow.

Bixiao, who had just returned, saw this scene and was completely stunned, unable to help but sigh.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"As expected of Big Brother, this kind of scene... only Big Brother could pull it off!"

"It's too abstract, too artistic!"

Zhao Gongming glared at her irritably.

"Stop your nonsense, go cultivate. Finish refining your sword before you come out!"

"Okay, Big Brother!" Bixiao stuck out her tongue and skipped off to find a place to go into seclusion.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Zhao Gongming returned to his temporary cave dwelling and lay comfortably on the lounge chair, ready to enjoy a moment of peace.

However, not long after he closed his eyes.

"Nephew Zhao..."

An eager, hurried, and somewhat shy voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"There were too many people outside just now, so it was inconvenient for Uncle to say some things..."

"Look... can you also refine some magic treasures for me?"

"Holy crap!"

Zhao Gongming was so startled that he jumped up, instantly summoning the thirty-six Sea Calming Pearls to protect himself, and looked vigilantly at the source of the voice.

In the corner of the cave dwelling, a figure slowly emerged.

It was East King Duke, who had stormed off in anger earlier!

"You?!"

Zhao Gongming's nose was practically crooked with rage.

"Senior East King Duke, scaring people to death is no laughing matter!"

"Didn't you leave? Why are you back, and sneaking around at that!"

East King Duke quickly plastered on a smile, his demeanor incredibly humble, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.

"Ah, Nephew Disciple, please don't be upset, don't be upset!"

"As you know, your Uncle Disciple is, after all, the foremost among male immortals, an Emperor Lord of the Immortal Court. I still need to maintain some dignity!"

"Just now, in front of so many people, how could I possibly ask?"

As he spoke, East King Duke leaned in closer, rubbing his hands together, and said with an expectant look.

"Nephew Disciple, I heard everything just now."

"Di Jun and Di Jiang's two monstrous... ah, no, those two divine-grade magic treasures, were they all refined by you?"

"We've had our little spat, but now we're acquainted!"

"From now on, feel free to let Nephew Disciple Bixiao and the others visit my Penglai Island and take whatever they like!"

"See... could you perhaps refine one for me too?"

"I want one of those... magic treasures that make people unable to resist!"

Zhao Gongming chuckled inwardly as he looked at East King Duke's eager expression.

Indeed, no one can resist the allure of a Conceptual Grade magic treasure.

Benefits delivered right to my doorstep, why wouldn't I take them.

Zhao Gongming put away the Sea Calming Pearls and settled back into his lounge chair, regaining his masterly demeanor.

"Since Uncle Disciple has put it that way, then Nephew Disciple cannot refuse."

"However, you understand the rules. To refine such heaven-defying magic treasures, you must provide top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"No problem, I've already prepared them!"

East King Duke was overjoyed and quickly pulled out two pieces of metal essence from his embrace, emitting an aura of extreme sharpness, with faint traces of Space Law flowing around them.

"This is the Essence of Supreme Geng Metal. This Humble Daoist obtained it at the edge of chaos. It is indestructible and contains the ability of spatial traversal!"

[Ding! Detected high-grade artifact refining material: Essence of Supreme Geng Metal.] [Rating: Excellent.] [Matching Scheme: Can refine Conceptual Grade magic treasures of the cause-and-effect attack/guaranteed critical hit type.]

"Good material!"

Zhao Gongming took the metal essence and, without further ado, summoned the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

Samadhi True Fire, Six Ding Divine Fire, and Lunar Sacred Fire erupted simultaneously. The three divine fires intertwined, instantly enveloping the two pieces of metal essence.

East King Duke watched from the side, dumbfounded, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Three divine fires, and a Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure cauldron?"

"Nephew Disciple's artifact refining skills... are simply unparalleled in the Primordial World!"

"Brother Tongtian has truly taken in a good disciple!"

A moment later.

"Done!"

Zhao Gongming let out a soft cry, and two streams of golden light flew out from the cauldron, landing in his hands.

They were two shiny golden, sharp, and slender... finger cots.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successful refining!] [Magic Treasure Name: Thousand Kills · Guaranteed Hit Finger Cot] [Grade: Houtian Spirit Treasure (Conceptual Grade)] [Conceptual Attribute: Critical Hit on Weakness · Blooming Ass.] [Effect: Ignores spatial distance, ignores divine light defenses, ignores physical body defenses.] [Once activated, the user will instantly teleport behind the enemy and aim a devastating strike at their indescribable region!] [A single blow will break the golden body, causing immense physical damage and a mental critical hit!] [Side Effect: Perverted Gentleman.] [Restriction: Before activation, the user must form the Thousand Kills hand seal with both hands!] [And wear a lewd, perverted smile while loudly explaining their actions, "I shall thrust the muddy dragon into the sea!"]

At the same time, the System's critical hit reward descended once more.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully refining the Karma Law Great Killing Weapon!] [Triggered Supreme Critical Hit Reward!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Great Accomplishment Sacred Body!]

Rumble!

Thunderous explosions sounded again from within Zhao Gongming's body.

His physical body, which was already comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, had now undergone a qualitative leap!

Golden qi and blood surged like an ocean, a sea of suffering opened, a divine bridge was built, and the other shore bloomed!

An invincible belief arose within him, that his body was impervious to all spells, that his physical body had achieved sainthood, and that he could catch an Emperor Weapon with his bare hands.

"Great Accomplishment Sacred Body?!"

"Good heavens, with this, my physical body... can probably go head-to-head with a Quasi-Saint!"

Zhao Gongming suppressed the excitement in his heart and handed the two finger cots to East King Duke.

"Uncle-Master, I have not failed my mission."

"This treasure is called Thousand Kills. It specializes in attacking the lower regions, ignores defense, and kills with a single blow!"

Afterward, he explained the usage method and side effects in detail.

After listening, East King Duke looked at the two sharp finger cots.

He subconsciously clenched his legs and felt his backside tighten.

"This... this is too devious, isn't it?"

"I even have to show a lewd smile? And shout the 'Ultimate Secret'?"

"I am the foremost of the male immortals..."

Zhao Gongming shrugged.

"If Uncle-Master doesn't want it, I can take it back."

"Don't, I want it!"

East King Duke snatched the finger cots, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"A bit of deviousness is good, it makes it more potent!"

"Next time I encounter that scoundrel Di Jiang... Hmph!"

"I'll let him taste what it means to have a shattered chrysanthemum and wounds all over the ground!"
