"A hairpin?" Hong Ling looked at Lian Chengyue weirdly. This fellow should have let him forge a long sword for her.

As for weapons, Lian Chengyue had the Heavenly Sacred Flame which he could forge himself, so he naturally did not care if Hong Ling could give it to her or not.

Since he was going to give her a golden hairpin, Hong Ling naturally would not casually forge one. Instead, he would express his feelings through the hairpin.

This was a very perfect ancient book on alchemy. He listed everything from the basics of alchemy to how to get the materials.

Even though Hong Ling had advanced to the early stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit, his divine sense was extremely tyrannical. However, after completely memorizing the ancient books, he still spent close to two days worth of time. This time, when he entered the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Tomb's secret plane, he had already gained a lot.

With a thought, the sound of metal hitting the ground sounded out. He had already taken out all of the gold in his storage ring, and the ingots forged by Chu were made up of small, square pieces of gold. Each piece had about 12 pieces, and the gold pieces piled up in front of him now were at least 100,000 taels of gold.

The Authentic Qi in Hong Ling's body moved, and with a bang, a dark golden Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame appeared in his hands. His pupils contracted, and all of the gold was absorbed into the air by him.

The 'Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame' was worthy of being known as the alchemy fire passed down from the Desolate King's era. In just two hours, the originally small mountain of gold had been reduced to a fist-sized crystal.

Hong Ling stared at the crystal, a solemn look flashed past his eyes. This lump of gold crystal had already reached the requirements to refine the equipment, but to him, this was still not the limit. This lump of gold crystal still had a chance to continue refining.

On the other side, Lian Chengyue was also controlling the white-gold Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame and refining the golden crystal. Obviously, she also had something she wanted to forge.

Hong Ling looked at her and no longer asked her any questions. Strictly speaking, the hairpin Lian Chengyue wanted was his first time refining a real hairpin, so he naturally hoped that he could achieve perfection in this matter.

The youth knew that the refinement had reached its end. He closed his eyes and carefully imagined the best hairpin in his eyes. His mind and consciousness flowed out together, constantly changing the shape of the golden crystal.

This was a very complicated process. Hong Ling continuously used his spirit sense to shape the hairpin, bit by bit, towards the desired shape he was looking forward to. He was using his spirit sense to shape the objects he forged, this was something that only powerful artificers could do.

In the process of forging, the refiner had to put all of his energy into controlling the flame. To an ordinary refiner, controlling the flame would cause all of their divine sense to be completely restrained, making it hard for them to distract themselves with other things.

Because of Hong Ling's powerful spiritual sense, he could multitask, and it would not affect his control over the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame, if a few master refiners were to see this situation, they would call him a demon.

After an entire day, Hong Ling finally created a hairpin that he thought was very beautiful. Inside the hairpin, it merged with the copper crystal that Lian Chengyue gave him, revealing a golden-red halo.

Amongst them, Hong Ling had even refined a secret silver from silver, jade essence from jade, and even added a bit of profound crystal, causing the hairpin to be extremely hard and durable.

The Jade Marrow could absorb Spiritual Power s from the heaven and earth very well. The mithril was a very good guide for Spiritual Power, the red copper had already converted these Spiritual Power s into fire elemental beasts, the golden crystals acted as the backbone, and the mystical crystals formed the body.

As for the Spiritual Power's circulation route inside the hairpin, it was Hong Ling's according to the Authentic Qi's circulation route in Lian Chengyue's body. After simplifying it, he placed the secret silver inside the hairpin.

When the hairpin was completed, starlight fell down from the sky and fell into the hairpin. On the hairpin was carved a phoenix, bathed in flames, and many cloud patterns. At the top of the hairpin was a small red bead.

The pearl was a mixture of gold, silver, jade marrow and profound crystal. Hong Ling had even melted a few useless spatial rings and obtained a small spatial crystal before fusing it with the pearl.

This pearl was responsible for storing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power for the hairpin to absorb, and when necessary, it could provide the wearer with the support of the Spiritual Power.

In Hong Ling's senses, this bead could provide him with a complete set of cultivation level at the Qi Refinement into Spirit. In other words, if the young girl, Authentic Qi, was exhausted, and was unable to replenish her strength in time, the hairpin could replenish her entire cultivation level in an instant.

Of course, this was only limited to the Qi Refinement into Spirit realm. Once Lian Chengyue broke through to the Spirit Refinement realm or even higher, the effect of this hairpin would be greatly reduced. However, the girl also had the Divine Flame of Desolation. At that time, she could help this hairpin level up by herself.

"Xuan grade magic tool, huh!" Hong Ling stared at the hairpin in his hand and laughed. He did not expect that the first time he refined a magical equipment, it was actually successful.

If some master refiners were to know of this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. Only Hong Ling, a newbie, would be able to create such a small hairpin made of gold, silver, copper, jade marrow and spatial crystals.

Lian Chengyue was still working on the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame in front of him, who knew what it was he was refining, Hong Ling wiped the fine beads of perspiration off his forehead and laughed bitterly, just to make this hairpin, he had almost used up all of his cultivation, if it was used to forge weapons, who knew how long he would need to finish it.

However, he was still a novice. Although the ancient book on alchemy that Lian Chengyue gave him had a complete introduction on alchemy and a complete set of methods, he was still a novice in alchemy and could only use the most basic of them.

However, as he became more proficient in alchemy, he would have a better understanding of these things, and could even break the routine and innovate.

Two hours later, Hong Ling woke up from his meditation. had already stopped cultivating and was sitting in front of him with his hands under his chin. He tilted his head and stared at with a smile.

"What's wrong, Ah Yue? Why are you looking at me like that?!" Hong Ling was somewhat unable to endure the young girl's unbridled gaze. He was already a little reserved in the first place, but now he actually felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Where's my hairpin?" the young girl asked as she brought her face closer to him and carefully stared at him.

Hong Ling shifted his body awkwardly, but seeing that Lian Chengyue himself had moved closer, so much that he was about to lie on him, he quickly took out the fiery red hairpin from his spatial ring and taught it to her.

Lian Chengyue quickly took the hairpin and carefully looked at it, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. She casually bit her middle finger and dripped her blood on the hairpin, watching the hairpin absorb the blood completely and release a faint halo of flame aura, the girl nodded in satisfaction.

"Drink my blood, and from now on, you are mine. No one is allowed to take away or take back anything! Hmph!" She snorted and looked at Hong Ling, with the attitude of someone willing to risk their life to take back the hairpin if they dare.

Hong Ling rubbed his nose speechlessly. Seeing Lian Chengyue's joyous expression, he couldn't help but smile.

Initially, he was a little apprehensive, afraid that Lian Chengyue would be dissatisfied. However, he didn't expect that the girl would actually happily accept it, which allowed him to finally relax.

"Hey, now, bring it to me!" Lian Chengyue said solemnly as he returned the hairpin back into Hong Ling's hands, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He placed the hairpin on her, causing the young man's brain to be unable to think straight, but seeing the young lady's gentle eyes looking at him with expectation, he did not hesitate any longer, and replaced the hairpin gently on Lian Chengyue's head.

The pendant shined brilliantly. Hong Ling stared at the peerless beauty in front of him and could not help but to be a little dazed.

Lian Chengyue, seeing his foolish look, couldn't help but giggle as he pounced lightly on the tip of Hong Ling's nose with a fragrant breath, causing him to wake up from his stupor. He lowered his head in embarrassment, and then, probably feeling that what he had done was too obvious, he shifted his gaze back at the young girl.

"Idiot, have you been enchanted by me?" Lian Chengyue asked somewhat complacently. As a woman who enjoyed herself, she saw Hong Ling's expression and was naturally secretly happy.

Hong Ling nodded, then felt that doing this seemed to be a bit of a loss, so he shook his head. Lian Chengyue looked at him with a face full of contempt.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Since you gave me such a beautiful hairpin as a gift, I'll also give you a present!" The girl took out a piece of white-gold ribbon, and waved it in front of Hong Ling's eyes, "This is for you!"

Hong Ling took the platinum hair band, and his consciousness instantly entered it.

"Is this a hair ribbon made from your hair?" Hong Ling looked at Lian Chengyue with some disbelief, "Did you use your own blood to infect your hair so that it wouldn't be incinerated even under the effects of the Heavenly Sacred Flame?"

Hong Ling stared at the girl's hand and saw that she had quickly retracted her hand. He shifted his body and grabbed her hand gently.

Ah Yue, this guy, how could she be so silly?

"If you don't use blood to infect your hair, your hair can't melt the gold crystal, the jade marrow, the mystical crystal, the copper and the secret silver. If so, I'm afraid you won't be able to feel my heart!"

The young girl lowered her head, her two hands continuously grabbing onto the hem of her skirt. She felt a bit uneasy, as if she was a child who had made a mistake.

"Who said it? As long as it's a gift from you, Ah Yue, I like it all!" Hong Ling waved his ape arm lightly, and pulled the young lady into his embrace.

Lian Chengyue let him carry her, and took the ribbon from her. She untied the ribbon covering Hong Ling's long hair, and gently tied the white-gold ribbon around his head.

"Ah Yue, can I think that we are exchanging love tokens?" Hong Ling buried his head into the girl's shoulder, and took a light sniff of the fragrance coming from her hair.

"En!" Lian Chengyue shyly nodded her head, a hand gently tracing her back, passing her thoughts to.

"With her hair tied at the ends of her black hair, she carries a jade belt that binds her monarch's heart. I wish her a happy life, and wish her the best of luck and the best of her heart. I wish her a lifetime of eternal peace!"

Just as she finished writing, a gust of cold air rushed into her nose. The youth kissed her lips, and a scorching breath landed on her face, burning it with waves of captivating redness.
