Refining and Improvement

It was an ordinary day for everyone, but the believers who came to Qingnü Temple to offer incense and prayers suddenly felt something was off, as if something was missing.

It wasn't until they looked around that the believers realized that the young witches who had greeted them at the temple had all vanished.

The believers were naturally puzzled by this situation, but they didn't sense anything amiss.

After all, this is the Temple of the Lady Qingnü, a divine abode protected by Orthodox God.

Even without the little witches, the believers still conscientiously burned incense and offered prayers before leaving the Qingnü Temple.

What these believers didn't know was that the young witches were also inside the temple at that moment.

However, it wasn't a temple in the real world where ordinary people live, but rather a place that Yin Yunze had pulled into Dao Field.

In an instant, the little shrine maidens were suddenly pulled from the bustling reality into this silent Dao Field, their confusion tinged with a hint of unease.

But when they saw Yin Yunze sitting casually in a chair made of ice and snow not far away, all the little witches instantly felt relieved.

At this moment, Yin Yunze appeared to be playing with his tail, but his expression looked somewhat gloomy.

Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination.

The little witches thought that the fur on Yin Yunze's nine tails seemed to have shortened considerably and become less fluffy.

Could it be that even a deity like the Lady Qingnü experiences a molting period?

"Your Majesty."

Without giving this somewhat offensive idea a second thought, almost all the young witches bowed and greeted the priestess the moment they realized what was happening.

No need for formalities.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yunze released his tail and casually waved to the little witches, indicating that they didn't need to be too nervous.

After glancing around and finding that everyone except Zhao Wan had arrived, Yin Yunze originally wanted to start in a more formal manner.

But after thinking it over, Yin Yunze abandoned this overly bureaucratic idea and said directly, "Actually, the main reason I called you all here is to announce a few things. The first thing is to introduce you to a new member."

As he spoke, Yin Yunze raised his hand and took out a spirit puppet from his Storage Bag.

As evil spirits, they are invisible to mortals like the little witches. Therefore, Yin Yunze needs to prepare a body for Guo Jing.

"Provincial Graduate Guo, don't resist. I'll prepare a body for you that ordinary people can see."

Then, taking the Soul-Capturing Pearl from the little fox girl, Yin Yunze extracted Guo Jing's nearly fully recovered soul and implanted it into the spirit puppet.

As Guo Jing's soul entered, the spirit puppet, which was originally no bigger than an adult's palm, suddenly began to expand and grow larger, as if it were being inflated like a balloon. After a few breaths, the palm-sized spirit puppet transformed into the size of an adult, and a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes, dressed in a white dress, appeared before everyone.

A spirit puppet can transform into its former form, but it's not limited to simply reverting to its appearance in life. If the user of the spirit puppet wishes, they can also customize its appearance to their liking.

"Huh, this... I've turned into a woman!?"

Guo Jing noticed a few things about her new body immediately. After all, the two heavy bulges on her chest were quite tiring.

Looking at Yin Yunze with some shock, Guo Jing quickly asked, "Your Lady Qingnü, what is this—?"

"It's just a small price to pay."

Looking at Guo Jing's new look, Yin Yunze chuckled with a hint of mischief, "My subordinates are all young girls. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to have another man among such a group of girls? Besides, with this new look, even the City God won't recognize you!"

Hearing Yin Yunze say this, Guo Jing shook his head repeatedly and said, "But, I am ultimately a man, even in this body, I am still—"

"Provincial Graduate Guo, do you really believe that the soul has a gender?"

After asking Guo Jing a question, Yin Yunze continued without waiting for her answer, "If there is a gender? Wouldn't that mean that after reincarnation, one's gender remains unchanged through countless lifetimes?"

In fact, the soul has no gender; it's just that you're burdened by your perceptions from your previous life, making you believe you have one. If I told you that in your past life you were actually a lady from a wealthy family, and that your current appearance is what you looked like in your past life, what would you say then?

Yin Yunze certainly didn't have the ability to see through Guo Jing's past life, at least not now. But not being able to see through it didn't stop Yin Yunze from telling this lie.

"I, this—"

Hearing Yin Yunze say this, Guo Jing couldn't tell for a moment whether Yin Yunze was serious or just being mischievous. Based on her understanding of Yin Yunze, Guo Jing was inclined to believe that it was true.

Thinking about it that way, I'm not so opposed to the new look anymore.

"So, you still want to seek revenge against the City God?"

Seeing that Guo Jing was still conflicted, Yin Yunze stopped trying to persuade her and changed the subject.

"I have a way to enhance your strength. Would you like to try it? However, this method will be a bit painful!"

"I want to tear him apart alive, every moment of it!" Looking at Yin Yunze, Guo Jing's face showed a resolute expression. "If I can avenge him, I will die ten thousand times over! What is a little pain? I've already died once! Can any pain compare to the pain I felt before my death?"

"Alright, I admire your courage."

Since Guo Jing had agreed, Yin Yunze didn't stand on ceremony.

"Relax now, don't resist. Of course, if you can't take it, just say so and I'll stop!"

Once again, Yin Yunze extracted Guo Jing's soul from the spirit puppet's body. Using the connection he had previously granted Guo Jing Subordinate Deity status, he once again separated a portion of the incense offerings, and then activated the upgraded Bright Incense Artifact Forging Method.

Looking at this somewhat familiar process, and recalling the unpleasant experience Guo Jing had gone through, he immediately felt a pang of regret.

As expected, the incense that had entered his body turned into flames again, bringing even more intense pain than before.

Faced with the Bright Incense Flame that were far more intense than before, Guo Jing could only grit her teeth and endure them.

As the Bright Incense Flame burned Guo Jing's soul, Guo Jing quickly transformed from human form into a white outer robe.

Previously, due to time constraints, Yin Yunze could only hastily refine a rough embryo that could not even be considered a semi-finished product. For both Yin Yunze and Guo Jing, remaining at this rough embryo stage was not good.

Therefore, what Yin Yunze needs to do now is to truly refine Guo Jing's Ghost King Dharma Robe into a finished product.

Fortunately, he had the methods of the Hungry Ghost Path as a reference. With these days of study, Yin Yunze also had a plan for the making of this Ghost King Dharma Robe.

As Yin Yunze continued to make hand seals and imprint them onto the blank surface of the robe, the five Law Techniques of the Wisdom King Dharma Form gradually transformed into golden threads, which were then etched onto the robe.

Although the lack of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi restricted Yin Yunze's cultivation progress, causing Yin Yunze to be stuck in the first stage.

However, thanks to his divine talent and the Power of Incense Offerings, Yin Yunze already had a considerable understanding of these five Law Techniques.

Therefore, what Yin Yunze wanted to do was to combine these five Law Techniques with Guo Jing's Ghost King Dharma Robe, thereby avoiding the constraints of the early stages of cultivation.

After repeated failures and attempts, including the five Law Techniques of the Immovable Wisdom King Seal, these gradually evolved into the patterns on the robe.

The color and appearance of the entire robe also began to change from a simple white robe to a white robe with gold thread and exquisite patterns.

Just as the golden thread pattern was complete, seemingly nearing completion, a clump of white fur appeared beside Yin Yunze.

Just looking at them reveals the extraordinary nature of these hairs.

Moreover, the little witches watching also noticed that the color of this clump of hair seemed very similar to that of Yin Yunze's tail hair.

Furthermore, although the clumps of hair clearly look identical, there's a subtle difference that makes it seem as if they come from two different sources.

After all, although these are tail hairs from the same Nine-Tailed White Fox, one type was actually taken from Innate Holy Spirit, while the other type was taken from a mortal Nine-Tailed Fox.

Of course, Yin Yunze wasn't sure if Guo Jing would actually agree.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Yin Yunze had already made preparations for both scenarios.

If Guo Jing agrees, these tail hairs can be used as upgrade materials for her.

If they disagree, these tail hairs can also be used as materials to refine other Law Treasure.

However, as he threw these two types of tail hairs into the Bright Incense Flame, Yin Yunze couldn't help but complain about how poor he really was.

Although Yin Yunze is now financially secure in the mortal realm, he is still penniless when it comes to the Divine Dao of Immortal Dao and gods. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to pluck his own tail hair to refine artifacts.

With this thought in mind, Yin Yunze's hands didn't stop moving. As the Bright Incense Flame penetrated the tail hair, the weapon forging process reached its most crucial moment.

Upon entering the Bright Incense Flame, the white tail hairs were not burned. Instead, they seemed to be woven together by invisible sewing needles. In no time, a large fox fur coat was forged by the Bright Incense Flame.

As Yin Yunze continued to adjust, the two garments began to overlap and merge within the Bright Incense Flame.

As the fusion began, Yin Yunze took out the remaining, relatively normal materials from the Third Prison Warden's Storage Bag.

The continuous input of this material not only replenished Guo Jing's consumption in the process, but also acted as a lubricant for the fusion of the two garments.

Ultimately, without any unexpected events, the Ghost King Dharma Robe and the fox fur coat successfully fused together.

A large, fluffy fur coat with gold thread patterns appeared before Yin Yunze.

After thinking about it, Yin Yunze brought out some pink incense.

After repeatedly burning it with Bright Incense Flame to clear away distracting thoughts, it was placed into this large fur coat as an embellishment.

Although only a small amount was added, it gave the tips of the fox fur a touch of pink.

The final product was a large white fur coat with a touch of pink and gold thread patterns.

Looking at the robe that he had painstakingly crafted, using three-tenths of the tail hair from two bodies and various auxiliary materials, Yin Yunze was quite satisfied.

As the creator, Yin Yunze naturally wouldn't relinquish the naming rights. After thinking for a moment, he said, "From now on, this form will be called the Pure Fox Robe!"

This Pure Fox Robe combines the supernatural abilities of Yin Yunze and Guo Jing, and is further enhanced with the five great Law Technique of the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form. It was forged using Bright Incense Flame.

This is currently the strongest Law Treasure in Yin Yunze's possession, besides a set of Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dark Heavenly Lightning was somewhat incompatible with Guo Jing's personality, Yin Yunze would have wanted to join the Dark Heavenly Lightning as well.

But now, things aren't so bad.

Not only does it possess the Power of Frost and Snow, but it also has the divine power that Guo Jing possesses. By activating the Technique Method engraved on the Pure Fox Robe, one can also use the Law Technique of the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form. And the last trace of pink incense can enhance the wearer's charm.

It has to be said that Yin Yunze has already used the strongest methods she can think of at this stage.

Judging from the eager, staring eyes of the young witches, this dress is undeniably beautiful.

However, after the crafting was completed, Yin Yunze did not wear it immediately.

Even though the situation was urgent at the time, Yin Yunze still needed to consider Guo Jing's feelings.

As the Pure Fox Robe was draped over the spirit puppet, a white-haired, red-eyed girl soon reappeared in the hall, also wearing the Pure Fox Robe.

As Guo Jing carefully examined and stroked the Pure Fox Robe, a strange yet undeniably delightful expression crossed her face.

After putting in so much effort, Yin Yunze was quite tired.

Slumped back into his chair, Yin Yunze looked at Guo Jing and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"Well, I find this situation rather strange."

Clenching his small fist, Guo Jing guessed and said, "But, I feel like I've become much stronger!"

As she spoke, Guo Jing's entire demeanor and physique changed.

First, there's her height. She went from being a petite girl of 1.6 meters sculpted by Yin Yunze to a tall, mature woman of 1.9 meters.

Her skin, though fair, began to show a slight green tinge. Her hair, too, turned from white back to black, fluttering against gravity behind her.

And her already red eyes were now even redder, as if they were about to bleed.

The sharp fangs sticking out from the corners of her mouth added a touch of wild beauty to Guo Jing.

Compared to her original terrifying image as a blue-faced, fanged demon, Guo Jing now resembled a beautiful woman from a foreign land.

At least, judging from the reactions of the young witches, they were more surprised than afraid.

"Indeed, my feeling was right." After a few light warm-ups and casually unleashing a series of punches and kicks that whistled through the air, Guo Jing nodded and said, "This is the state I'm in now. Although resentment has been stirred within me, I'm not as irrational as I used to be."

After all, this was created after nearly pulling out all the hair from the tail of the Innate Holy Spirit, so of course it has to be effective.

While inwardly complaining, Yin Yunze explained aloud, "With my divine blessing, I can naturally maintain your combat power while preserving your sanity. Furthermore, there are many other divine abilities on it that you can explore in detail."

Furthermore, you need to be aware that after my forging, your true form is now this garment.

Although Yin Yunze didn't explain it clearly, Guo Jing understood what Yin Yunze meant. Guo Jing's current form was that of the Pure Fox Robe.

This seemingly real girl's body is actually just a projection of power and consciousness.

If anyone mistakes this torso for the real body, they will likely suffer greatly at Guo Jing's hands.
