Qin Yaorao listened to the white-clothed Immortal disparaging her senior brother, yet he was spot-on, causing her to force a bitter smile. She transmitted her voice, saying, "Upper Immortal, you can’t say that... Senior Brother Jin Jian has many flaws, but he also has merits..."

The white-clothed Immortal laughed heartily, waving his hand, "Alright, enough about him! Let me rest for a bit more, and we’ll continue refining pills and artifacts for the Immortals!"

Qin Yaorao nodded, seeing the white-clothed Immortal slightly closing his eyes to continue adjusting his breath, she stood aside to guard his stall.

Immortal King Jin Jian saw that Junior Sister Qin defied his will to help that white-clothed Immortal watch over his stall, feeling humiliated in front of several junior brothers and sisters, his heart was boiling with anger, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and the fists hidden in his sleeves clenched and relaxed.

If it had been another fellow sect member, he would have immediately fallen out and left in anger, but he couldn’t bring himself to abandon this beautiful and charming Junior Sister Qin, who possessed an Innate Spiritual Root.

"Let’s go keep an eye on that white-clothed Immortal to prevent Junior Sister Qin from being deceived! Before the Treasured Lotus Flower blooms, we’ll find a way to get closer to the Holy Mountain and secure a good spot to wait!"

After standing in place for a moment, Immortal King Jin Jian spoke expressionlessly, giving himself a way out, and then with a few junior brothers and sisters, he moved to a nearby hill close to the white-clothed Immortal’s stall and sat down cross-legged.

In the early morning, under the light of the Golden Crow, the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain seemed draped in a layer of pale golden garment, exuding sanctity within its solemnity.

The Divine Sense of hundreds of thousands of Immortals focused on the Chaos Lotus on the mountain peak, merely a few feet tall and in its budding state, each showing a look of covetousness, their breaths slightly hastened as they thought of its magical uses.

At this moment, the white-clothed Immortal opened his eyes, stretched lazily, glanced in the direction of Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain, and then looked at the line of Immortals already queuing up in front of his stall before saying to Qin Yaorao, who was guarding it, "Let’s begin!"

Although the white-clothed Immortal also aimed for the Chaos Lotus, there were nine days until it bloomed, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He got up and walked into the temporarily erected stone house, waiting for Qin Yaorao to bring in the materials for pill and artifact refining, whereupon he began the refining work, earning Cultivation Resources.

Today’s business was even better than yesterday’s. Qin Yaorao helped the white-clothed Immortal with picking up and delivering materials, busy but delighted with it.

"Senior Brother Jin Jian, look at how busy Junior Sister Qin is. How about... I go and help her?"

Xianyun Fairy said weakly.

Immortal King Jin Jian was fuming inside. He snorted coldly at her suggestion and retorted sternly, "You are not allowed to go!"

Xianyun Fairy responded with an "Oh" and internally grumbled, "Fine, I won’t go. Why so fierce? No wonder Junior Sister Qin doesn’t like you. If it were me, I would also keep my distance from you!"

Day after day, the white-clothed Immortal had already earned an enormous amount of Cultivation Resources. Even Immortal King Jin Jian, secretly calculating his gains, felt a hint of envy.

Each evening, the white-clothed Immortal finished his refining work, chatting and laughing with Qin Yaorao. They seemed to get along well, which, in the eyes of Immortal King Jin Jian not far away, increasingly seemed like the Immortal had ulterior motives toward Junior Sister Qin, making him burn with jealousy.

He repeatedly went to ask Qin Yaorao to return to the team, but she merely shook her head, almost making Immortal King Jin Jian jump with anger.

Left helpless against Qin Yaorao, Immortal King Jin Jian could only transfer all his rage and resentment onto the white-clothed Immortal. If the white-clothed Immortal hadn’t held dual roles as both a Pill Master and an Artifact Refiner, receiving immense respect and admiration from the assembled Immortals, he would have long rushed over to teach him a lesson.

The white-clothed Immortal’s Cultivation Level was only that of a third-grade Immortal King Realm, while Immortal King Jin Jian was a fourth-grade Immortal King Realm Expert, confident that if he really engaged in a fight, he could inflict a considerable defeat on the white-clothed Immortal.

However, during this trial, his master, the Golden Rainbow Immortal Emperor, had repeatedly admonished him to act low-profile and avoid causing trouble, so Immortal King Jin Jian dared not easily stir up any conflicts.

With three days left until the bloom of the Treasured Lotus Flower, the white-clothed Immortal put away his stall, no longer refining pills and artifacts for the Immortals, leaving many unfulfilled Immortals feeling deeply regretful.

"You’ve worked hard these days. Tell me, what do you want? Cultivation Resources, an Immortal Pill, or an Immortal Artifact?"

The white-clothed Immortal asked Qin Yaorao with a smile.

Qin Yaorao was unreserved as she replied, "I’ve always wanted a mid-grade Immortal King-grade Immortal Sword, is that possible?"

She had originally thought that since the white-clothed Immortal was only at the third-grade Immortal King Realm, he wouldn’t have the ability to refine the Immortal Artifact she desired. However, after witnessing him craft several mid-grade Immortal King-grade Immortal Artifacts for other Immortals, she knew he had the capability, not concealing her delight, so she brought it up now.

The white-clothed Immortal nodded, took a short rest, then once more entered the stone house. A few hours later, he emerged under Qin Yaorao’s expectant gaze.

"Here you go! See if it suits you!"

The white-clothed Immortal lightly raised his left hand, and an Immortal Sword gleaming with golden light floated toward Qin Yaorao.

Qin Yaorao accepted the sword, examining it closely, then let a drop of essence blood infused with her Divine Sense fall onto the Gold Sword, immediately feeling a sense of unity between human and sword.

She gently swung the Gold Sword, feeling the Sword Intent enveloping her surroundings, its power beyond her expectations, surprising and delighting her, she said to Fang Bai, "Thank you, Upper Immortal! I really like this Immortal Artifact!"

"I envy Junior Sister Qin so much..."

Xianyun Fairy from afar watched as Junior Sister Qin received the Immortal Artifact she desired, feeling envious, thinking if she had been like Junior Sister Qin, not afraid to offend Senior Brother Jin Jian and stayed committed to helping the white-clothed Immortal, perhaps she too would have received her desired Immortal Artifact by now.

"Little girl, you’ve also helped me out. This is for you!"

Along with the white-clothed Immortal’s voice, a low-grade Immortal King-grade golden Immortal Sword flew in front of Xianyun Fairy.

Xianyun Fairy’s Cultivation Level was about the same as Junior Sister Qin’s, but she was not an Innate Spiritual Root, unable to wield a mid-grade Immortal King-grade Immortal Artifact, while a low-grade Immortal King-grade Immortal Artifact was just right for her.

"Ah, there’s one for me too?"

Xianyun Fairy gazed at the golden Immortal Sword before her, feeling the Immortal Might it contained, her eyes brightened with delight.

She sneakily glanced at Senior Brother Jin Jian beside her, seeing his grim expression, hearing his cold snort as he turned away. She hesitated, clearly fond of the golden Immortal Sword but dared not reach out to take it.

"This is your reward, take it! Once we return to the Sect, if the Sect Master inquires, I will speak on your behalf!"

After expressing her gratitude to the white-clothed Immortal, Qin Yaorao returned to her Sect’s group. Seeing Xianyun Fairy’s conflicted demeanor, aware that she was apprehensive of Senior Brother Jin Jian, she promptly and crisply said.

In the Golden Rainbow Sect, Qin Yaorao’s status may not match Immortal King Jin Jian’s, but her words hold much more sway before the Sect Master than Senior Brother Jin Jian’s. Therefore, relieved by her promise, Xianyun Fairy cheerfully took the floating golden Immortal Sword in her hands, admiring it with great fondness.
