Bai Yuan sensed through the Five Elements Array that the Silver Dragon King had truly left, then opened his Attribute Panel.
[Host: Bai Yuan] [Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Initial] [Items: None] [Special: Intermediate Alchemist, Intermediate Array Master, Beginner Artifact Craftsman, Beginner Talisman Master] [Number of Disciples: 7] [Bound Disciples: Bai Yu, Wang Qiu'er, Mu Junwu (Current binding limit: 3) (After binding a disciple, every time that disciple advances, the host will advance by the same amount of cultivation.)] [Master Virtue Points: 0] [Shop: Click to open] [Current Task One: Refine a Natal Spirit Tool.

Reward: Bound Disciple limit *7, 100,000 Master Virtue Points.] [Current Task Three: Accept twenty-one disciples (seven accepted). Reward: Current Most Needed Treasure Chest, 100,000 Master Virtue Points.]
Looking at his zero Master Virtue Points, Bai Yuan could only let out another long sigh.
He had previously planned to exchange for his cultivation technique, but now it seemed he had to start all over again.
Still, it was fortunate that the area within the Five Elements Array now truly belonged to him. He no longer had to worry about Di Tian coming to his door at any time.
A series of knocks sounded at that moment.
"Master, we're back."
The door opened automatically, revealing Su Yin and Su Yue, the couple with fox ears and fluffy snow-white tails behind them.
Bai Yuan nodded. "You did very well this time. In a few days, I'll teach you cultivation techniques."
Su Yin and Su Yue clasped their hands together. "Thank you, Master."
Bai Yuan nodded lightly, then turned to Bai Yu. "Bai Yu, go call Rongrong down to cook. I'm feeling a little hungry."
"Alright, Master." Bai Yu left.
Su Yin and Su Yue also took their leave to tend to their daughter.
At that moment, Wang Qiu'er came over, linked her arm through his, and asked, "Master Father, what are the Demon Emperor and Demon Queen? Why does Master Father want to be the Demon Emperor and make the Sovereign the Demon Queen?"
The corner of Bai Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Hadn't he just wanted to tease the Silver Dragon King a little?
How had his disciple's daughter suddenly started asking him about it?
Just then, Bai Yuan sensed a space within the Five Elements Array being torn open, and two figures stepped out from it.
"They came so quickly?" Bai Yuan was somewhat surprised. He could sense that the two figures were acquaintances.
Another series of knocks sounded.
"Come in," Bai Yuan said.
As though his words carried law, the door opened automatically once more.
The visitors were none other than two acquaintances he had parted with not long ago: the Jadeite Swan, Bi Ji, and the strongest Fierce Beast, the Beast God Di Tian.
At this moment, both of their expressions were somewhat strange.
Not long ago, they had been fighting to the death.
Yet now, one had come to serve as his bodyguard, while the other had come to heal Bai Yuan's injuries. It was simply absurd.
"Sorry to trouble you, Bi Ji," Bai Yuan said with a smile.
Bi Ji returned a shy smile. Without saying anything, she released a jade-green glow that enveloped Bai Yuan.
It was incomparably dense Life Energy, capable of regrowing severed limbs and pulling back those who had only one breath left.
Bai Yuan felt the cells in his body madly absorbing the energy as his body rapidly healed.
He felt as if he had been reborn.
Before long, Bai Yuan felt that his injuries had mostly recovered. The remaining ones only needed time and rest to heal completely.
After treating Bai Yuan, Bi Ji turned and left at a signal from Di Tian. A silvery-white spatial vortex slowly appeared, taking her back to the Lake of Life in another space.
Inside the room, Di Tian glanced several times at the Auspicious Beast beside him before turning his slightly odd gaze toward Bai Yuan. "Bai Yuan, the Sovereign said she didn't know what you needed to refine a Natal Spirit Tool, so she gave you the best materials on Douluo Continent."
The best materials?
Bai Yuan's heart grew heated. He truly had not expected his good neighbor to be so reliable, finding the best materials on Douluo Continent and bringing them to him so quickly.
"Let me see them," Bai Yuan said impatiently.
With a raised hand, Di Tian crushed space itself and took out a moderately sized scale from a Space Rift.
Without another word, Bai Yuan reached out and took it.
He began examining it.
The first scale was blood-red and about the size of a palm. The moment it touched his hand, Bai Yuan felt a chill run through his body. He sensed incomparably intense killing intent within it.
That killing intent seemed to take tangible form, charging dominantly into Bai Yuan's mind. He felt as though the world had turned blood-red, as the terrifying killing intent sought to crush his consciousness.
Unfortunately, this killing intent had existed for an unknown length of time, and with the Five Elements Array reinforcing this place, it posed no threat to Bai Yuan at all.
In an instant, Bai Yuan mobilized the power of the Five Elements Array and dispersed the killing intent that had rushed into his mind.
He then made the scale float above his palm.
The second scale was pure black, an immensely profound black, like a lightless place in the universe. It gave Bai Yuan a feeling of utter deathly silence.
It seemed that even a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo would have their life force devoured by the death aura within this scale and die.
"Are these the Silver Dragon King's dragon scales?" Bai Yuan asked.
A trace of surprise flashed through Di Tian's eyes. He nodded. "They are indeed the Sovereign's dragon scales, but the power within these two scales does not belong to her. The blood-red one belongs to the expert who severely wounded the Sovereign, while the pure-black one formed from the death aura that gathered on her body when the Sovereign was near death."
"What a good method," Bai Yuan said. "Since she couldn't force those powers out of her body, she forced them into her dragon scales and let them fall off. But isn't your Sovereign too stingy? She only gave me two pieces of this trash?"
That was right. To the Silver Dragon King, these things were trash. But to the people of this world, they were god-level materials. It was impossible for anything of this grade to naturally form on Douluo Continent.
Di Tian immediately grew furious.
However, he quickly calmed himself and said, "The Sovereign said you're too weak right now. She was afraid that if she gave you too much, you'd get yourself killed."
Bai Yuan smiled and headed straight upstairs. He was going to refine artifacts first. With the Five Elements Array assisting him here, Artifact Refining would be very fast.
Di Tian concealed himself, but he did not leave. Instead, he followed behind Bai Yuan, wanting to see how Bai Yuan would refine this so-called Natal Spirit Tool.
This was one of the tasks the Silver Dragon King had given him.
Bai Yuan naturally sensed him, but he did not care in the slightest. On the contrary, he was quite willing to put on a display for the Silver Dragon King's spy.
If possible, Bai Yuan even wanted to take Di Tian as a disciple and turn him into a Demon Beast.
With Di Tian's strength, if he converted him, he would at least reach Core Formation Perfected, and at most, the Nascent Soul Stage. Moreover, the possibility of Di Tian directly reaching the Nascent Soul Stage was quite high.
After all, when he had a hundred thousand years of cultivation, he was already equivalent to level ninety-nine. Over these past several hundred thousand years, his strength had barely improved, but his accumulation had grown deeper and deeper.
