Meanwhile, Ye Fei and Shangguan Xueer outside were rushing home non-stop.
Finally, they arrived home as night fell.
"Phew, we're finally safe!"
Shangguan Xueer couldn't help but say, feeling a sense of lingering fear.
As for Ye Fei, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You're still laughing?"
"You can still laugh?"
Shangguan Xueer glared at Ye Fei, planting her hands on her hips.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I admit it!"
"Let's hurry up and eat!"
Ye Fei quickly admitted his mistake, fearing Shangguan Xueer would dwell on this point.
As for the two guards who had been on duty from day until night, they hadn't seen any sign of Ye Fei and began to doubt themselves, wondering if they had inadvertently let the two slip away.
However, with things as they were, all they could do was beg for forgiveness.
The next morning, Ye Fei, having slept soundly, disguised himself after breakfast and headed towards Wanzhen Tower.
Fortunately, after observing the entrance of Wanzhen Tower for a while, he didn't see the two guards from yesterday, assuming they had given up their vigil.
This meant Ye Fei was temporarily safe.
But at the same time, his sense of crisis grew stronger.
Therefore, he needed to craft a hidden weapon as soon as possible for self-defense.
"Young Master Ye, you're here!"
"Quick, come in!"
The maid at the door, the same woman Xiaoxiao from yesterday, showed unprecedented enthusiasm upon seeing Ye Fei and immediately led him towards Bai Piaopiao's office on the third floor.
"Young Master Ye, Sister Bai instructed me to guard the door early this morning. She said to bring you to her office as soon as I saw you."
Ye Fei was somewhat flattered, as Xiaoxiao's attitude had changed so drastically.
"Thank you!"
Ye Fei expressed his gratitude.
After a while, they arrived at the door of the office on the third floor.
*Knock, knock, knock.*
After a few knocks, Bai Piaopiao's voice came from the door.
"Enter!"
"Sister Bai, Young Master Ye has arrived!"
Xiaoxiao informed her.
The office door was then opened, revealing Bai Piaopiao in a red dress, looking exceptionally charming, a stark contrast to her white attire yesterday.
After Ye Fei took a few glances, he shifted his attention to the office's decor.
The office had a panoramic view and was decorated with great care, appearing very warm and inviting.
"Young Master Ye, please sit!"
After Ye Fei entered the office, Bai Piaopiao, with a smile, instructed Xiaoxiao to serve hot tea.
"Young Master Ye, without further ado, shall we begin now?"
Ye Fei took a sip and said.
"Of course, I'm also eager."
Bai Piaopiao then stood up and led Ye Fei towards the adjoining artifact refining room.
It was known that Bai Piaopiao was skilled in artifact refining and was also a renowned artifact refiner in the Desolate Region.
"Young Master Ye, to be honest, I've been practicing artifact refining since childhood, and I've achieved some small accomplishments by now."
"So I should be able to help you a bit."
When it came to artifact refining, Bai Piaopiao was quite confident.
Next, Bai Piaopiao took out the Sky Demon Stone and placed it on the stone slab.
Meanwhile, she went into the inner room and changed into a black tight-fitting outfit, with her hair tied up, making her look very neat and capable.
"Young Master Ye, let's begin!"
Bai Piaopiao said crisply.
"Alright, the first step is to dissolve this outermost black film completely, leaving no trace behind."
"Otherwise, the Sky Demon Stone will not be able to imbue weapons with saintly quality."
Ye Fei then took out the solution he had prepared, poured it all into a ceramic basin, and added a large basin of clean water.
Then, he gently placed the Sky Demon Stone into it.
It was completely submerged.
Magically, after a short while, the black substance on the stone began to bubble vigorously.
*Gurgle, gurgle.*
After a quarter of an hour, the initially blue water slowly turned black, and finally, it turned transparent again.
"Good heavens!"
"This is truly miraculous!"
As the jet-black Sky Demon Stone shed its dark outer layer, it revealed its colorful, resplendent, irregular interior.
"It's so beautiful!"
Bai Piaopiao continued to exclaim.
Only when the last trace of the black substance was stripped away did Ye Fei retrieve the resplendent Sky Demon Stone.
"Quick, let me see!"
Bai Piaopiao said eagerly.
Seeing her eager gaze, Ye Fei directly handed it to her.
As for himself, he began to sketch the diagram for the hidden weapon he intended to refine.
He directly leaned over the table and started writing and drawing.
This time, he intended to craft the Shadowless Needle he had seen in the handbook.
Of course, the Shadowless Needle Ye Fei was crafting this time had also been modified by him.
Furthermore, the Shadowless Needle, after his modification, possessed even greater power.
Just as Ye Fei was drawing with divine inspiration, Bai Piaopiao, who had been meticulously examining the Sky Demon Stone, was drawn over by Ye Fei's movements.
When she came to Ye Fei's side and looked more closely, Bai Piaopiao was so astonished that she almost dropped the item in her hand.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei had already completed half of the drawing for the Shadowless Needle.
He was now working on the remaining half, which was the most crucial part.
As Ye Fei's speed increased, Bai Piaopiao behind him was simultaneously deducing it in her mind.
The more she deduced, the more she was shocked; it had already exceeded her expectations.
She had been practicing artifact refining since childhood, for over thirty years, and even she was not confident that she could draw such an intricate hidden weapon in such a short time.
As she was lost in thought, Ye Fei had already completed this task.
"Done, finally finished!"
Ye Fei stretched, almost hitting Bai Piaopiao.
Fortunately, Ye Fei stopped in time, thus preventing this from happening.
"Are you alright?"
"Did I hit you earlier?"
Ye Fei asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing her hesitate to speak, Ye Fei thought she had something on her mind and said directly.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"There's no need to be so hesitant."
Bai Piaopiao gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed on the drawing in Ye Fei's hand, and stammered.
"I would like to examine the drawing in your hand. Is it convenient?"
Ye Fei looked at her speechlessly, and without thinking, directly handed it to her, saying.
"Take it."
Bai Piaopiao was overjoyed and immediately took it.
Then, with a very serious expression, she began to perform a deduction.
