The Jade Transformation Curse, Refining Treasures Again (33)

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Li Boyang returned to Flying Peak.

Over the course of three days, the Gods of the Hundred Lands and the Mountain Folk conquered and plundered, gradually reclaiming the areas swallowed by the sea tide.

Especially along the direction in which the roots of the Undying Spring God extend.

One mountain road after another, reservoirs and canals were built, guiding the mountains and waterways of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to regain their dominance.

During this process, although some gods of the South Sea and sea monsters still took the opportunity to cause trouble, the overall trend was already unstoppable.

Thanks to this, even though Li Boyang did not return to Li Household Village to direct operations for the past three days, the overall situation continued to progress in an orderly manner.

It's not just about recovering the land that was swallowed by the sea.

As Li Boyang had planned, his goal this time was to completely open up the entire route through the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, truly connecting this region into one.

However, before that, Li Boyang needs to find a way to solve the problem of the South Sea eye.

"You've been eyeing the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron for three days now, haven't you gotten it sorted out yet?"

Swaying her tail gently, Xiluo asked weakly while yawning.

Not far from the courtyard, Li Boyang was manipulating the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron to forge a jade statue.

That jade statue was one of the fifteen Night-Wandering God who were completely transformed into jade due to the [Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness].

However, judging from the broken jade stones around the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, it's clear that Li Boyang hasn't been idle at all these past three days.

Of the original fifteen Night-Wandering God, only the one still inside the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron remains.

The remaining fourteen were either melted or shattered, becoming victims of the previous series of refining experiments.

Fortunately, Li Boyang did not waste those fragments and scraps.

Instead, he collected them specifically, intending to use them to forge a new Law Treasure —a surprise for Xiluo.

After all, no matter how messy, bad-tempered, and unambitious Xiluo is...

She was, after all, a true goddess.

She had helped him so much, so Li Boyang felt it was only natural to help her refine a Law Treasure that suited her status and image.

However, before that, Li Boyang's top priority remains the South Sea Sea's "eye."

Do you think things are that simple?

"This time, I've crafted a complete god, and one that's even Curse the Witch King..."

Slightly tired, Li Boyang rolled his eyes. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, a pill was precisely placed into his mouth.

"In your words, 'Haste makes waste'..."

You should pay more attention to your own health right now!

Ignoring Li Boyang's astonished expression, Xiluo, the instigator, lazily stood up and transformed into a Ominous Deity half-human, half-beast form.

"I've been watching here for a few days now, and I roughly know how to control the heat."

"So leave the rest of the grinding to me!"

She shoved Li Boyang away from the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, Xiluo then sat down on it herself.

"Gurgle..."

Only then did Li Boyang swallow the pill, and he couldn't help but blink.

"Do I look that bad right now?"

He turned to look at Li Jingshu behind him, who was also looking worried. The latter immediately nodded vigorously.

Before Li Boyang could react...

Li Jingshu grabbed the Bronze Treasure Book from the air and handed it to the other person.

At this moment, the cover of the Bronze Treasure Book suddenly transformed into a smooth bronze mirror, clearly reflecting Li Boyang's current appearance.

His head was covered in messy, red hair...

Dark circles were also appearing under his eyes...

And then there's the Red-Skinned Silk Fur Robe draped diagonally over his body...

Li Boyang's current image is as bad as it gets; he's practically indistinguishable from a beggar.

And this was after Li Boyang had swallowed the pill and his complexion had recovered somewhat.

"You haven't slept for three days straight, and you've been constantly depleting your own Yuan Qi to activate the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron..."

"If Xiluo hadn't told me not to disturb you, I would have woken you up long ago."

With a helpless smile, Li Boyang realized how much pressure and worry his three consecutive days of silence had brought to those around him.

"It's alright, I was just too hasty."

Silently circulating the limited amount of Black and Yellow Qi within his body, Li Boyang smiled and comforted him.

The next second, his full head of red hair returned to its original smoothness, and even the dark circles under his eyes disappeared instantly.

"The Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness is a bit more troublesome than I imagined."

Although it transformed the bodies of the Night-Wandering God into materials akin to heavenly materials and earthly treasures, its essence remained a Curse.

"To transform these Night-Wandering God into true Law Treasure, we must first understand the characteristics of this Curse..."

Today, Li Jingshu is no longer the naive Big Girl she once was.

She could understand what Li Boyang was saying and knew how difficult this matter was.

But precisely because of this, Li Jingshu is now very worried about Li Boyang's current health condition.

Why turn these Night-Wandering God into Law Treasure?

"We already have enough Law Treasure; is there any need to refine these Night-Wandering God?"

"And it was all so rushed, so hurried..."

Li Jingshu never cared about any Law Treasure; she knew that Li Boyang wasn't the kind of person who cared about material things either.

Even if it's just out of personal curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

Li Boyang also prefers to explore the answer little by little, rather than exhausting himself like he has done these past few days.

"These Night-Wandering God present an excellent opportunity to resolve the South Sea issue."

As Li Boyang said this, the image that came to mind was the thousand-foot-tall jade statue at the eye of the South Sea.

He already had a concrete solution before returning to Flying Peak.

However, out of his habitual caution, Li Boyang still wanted to go further and take control of all the variables.

"Little brother, are you hungry right now?"

"Tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll get it for you right away."

Knowing she couldn't persuade Li Boyang, Li Jingshu had no choice but to change the subject.

Although she never said it, Li Jingshu knew clearly how heavy the burden was on Li Boyang's shoulders.

In response, besides feeling resentful of her own inadequacy, Li Jingshu could only express her silent support in this way.

"Hmm, I'm definitely depleting a lot of my Yuan Qi right now..."

"Just make me some grilled meat, I really do prefer meat!"

"I'm fine with pills occasionally in emergencies, but I don't like to eat them as a staple food."

Watching Li Jingshu's departing figure quickly.

Li Boyang blinked again, his smile widening.

"That's why I'm willing to keep working so hard..."

"Even for your sake, I must resolve this South Sea crisis as soon as possible."

Seemingly having heard Li Boyang's whisper, Xiluo, who was controlling the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron in his place, turned around and glanced at him.

Remember to save me a portion of that barbecue.

"The Big Girl's cooking skills have improved a lot recently, it's just that she's a bit lazy."

"Of course, I don't mind if you're willing to cook yourself, just don't come up with any more of those weird innovations."

Li Boyang glanced back at Xiluo as well, and said in an annoyed tone.

"You're getting more and more picky. Why didn't I see you being this picky before?"
