What kind of magical artifact does a water-based expert use?

Huo Rui had initially been quite fond of the broken sword Jia Xitong had taken out and wanted to ask her for it. However, upon hearing her mention the magical treasure that followed, he immediately became interested.

"Fellow Daoist Xitong, may I have this glass bottle?"

"You're a water-based cultivator?"

To be honest, people generally categorize themselves by martial arts, talismans, formations, alchemy, and weapon crafting; very few people identify themselves as cultivators of a particular system. Jia Xitong hadn't even figured out the attributes of the people on Xianlong Peak.

"It is not me."

Huo Rui lowered his head, "I want to obtain this magical artifact for Mei Ji."

As a mermaid, Meiji is naturally a water-based cultivator.

However, she was captured by humans when she was young and has never learned anything.

Weak in strength.

It has always been a silkworm flower that people keep in ponds.

Huo Rui had never realized there was anything wrong with this until he saw Yan Qing and Xi Tong. He suddenly realized that the best state for a partner is to grow together and become stronger together, rather than one becoming the other's appendage.

"Although Meiji has long passed the best period for cultivation, I still hope that she can have some means of self-protection."

The method of using this glass bottle is simple and happens to be the same as her talent.

so……"

"Oh, sure, that's fine."

Jia Xitong began nodding before he could finish speaking.

Meiji is her favorite friend, so she would definitely be very willing to give the magic weapon to Meiji.

However, since she hadn't seen Meiji cultivating in the past, she had overlooked this matter.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tong!"

Huo Rui happily took the glass bottle back to his residence. Two days later, he brought back an extremely gorgeous mermaid gauze dress.

The mermaid-like gauze dress fit her perfectly and was embroidered with pearls; it was clearly made especially for her by Meiji.

Thin as a cicada's wing, and the whole thing is sparkly.

As soon as Jia Xitong put it on, even Wan Zhi couldn't help but praise, "What a fine cloud feather silk robe! The person who made this robe is amazing, truly amazing. If a master were to set up twenty-one defensive and killing formations here, tsk tsk tsk, it might become a rare and precious magic weapon."

"Um?"

Jia Xitong was taken aback upon hearing this, "What is the Twenty-One Defense and Killing Formation?"

"You don't even know this?"

"You don't even know about such a famous formation? There are so many other things that have been lost on this continent."

Wanzhi was about to shake his head and sigh, but then he stopped when he thought of the blue and white porcelain plate above his head.

"The Twenty-One Defense and Killing Formation is a formation designed by the God of Formations."

Legend has it that this formation was designed specifically for the God of Formations, who, despite his formidable array-setting abilities, was physically weak. This formation can only be placed on clothing and armor.

This formation was incredibly popular tens of thousands of years ago.

However, it cannot be left on just any clothing or armor.

Only a very few materials can withstand the power of an array when it is set up. And your Cloud Feather Shark Veil is one of those treasures.

"Is the fabric of this dress really that expensive?"

Jia Xitong was stunned after hearing Wan Zhi's words.

Before this, she had always thought it was just a dress with a shimmering fabric that was even more sparkly than usual.

"...It's more valuable than you think."

Wan Zhi said, "This fabric is no longer gauze, but Zen! It's a treasure that the Merfolk weave for an inch every three hundred years. You actually managed to get your hands on this. Master Xitong is truly incredibly capable."

Holy crap!

Jia Xitong was stunned after hearing the whole thing.

Does Meiji know that she gave such an expensive gift?

You probably don't know!

Well... it's alright to mess with Aunt Haifeng, but messing with Meiji seems a bit much.

Let's send it back to her.

Jia Xitong quickly took off the mermaid veil, grabbed the clothes, and ran towards Meiji.

"Meiji, Meiji!"

She ran to the door and started shouting.

The next second

A huge wave crashed onto her inside the house.

Jia Xitong was instantly swept far away by the giant wave. When the tide receded, she lay face down on the wet floor tiles, only her clothes, which were held high above her head, remained dry.

A woman's startled cry came from inside the house: "Xitong, are you alright!"

"I...I'm fine."

Jia Xitong spat out a mouthful of water and forced a smile at the person looking at her. She channeled her spiritual energy into her body, and the water around her instantly evaporated.

As soon as she stepped into the room, a pair of worried, beautiful eyes looked at her. "I'm sorry, I'm still getting used to how to use this magical artifact."

Mei Ji was raised as a plaything in her childhood, and later was well protected by Huo Rui, but she was still powerless. Huo Rui suddenly told her about cultivation, and she became so excited that she practiced day and night, which led to what just happened.

"Oh, right, I came to return this to you!"

Jia Xitong put down the Zen robe in her hand.

Meiji asked, puzzled, "Why? Is it because you can't wear it?"

She had made two sets of clothes for Xitong before, and they both fit her perfectly.

"It's not that I can't wear it, it's just too expensive!"

Jia Xitong waved her hand, "You don't know that this is the treasure of the Merfolk, the Cloud Feather Mermaid Veil? In your land, it takes three hundred years to weave just one inch of this!"

What kind of extravagant gesture would warrant such an extravagant gift?

“I know this item is valuable.”

Meiji looked at the Zen robe and touched it with her fingers. "This is something that has been with me since before I was captured by the humans. My childhood memories are blurred, and this piece of gauze is the only connection between me and my childhood self."

I used to always long to return to the sea and to be with my family.

But now…

She smiled and glanced at Huo Rui. "I feel like I have another home now. I've let go of my hazy childhood and my dark past."

I felt a strange sense of unease when I was with Huo Lang.

But the magical artifact you gave me made me realize the reason for my unease.

The difference between me and Huo Lang is not just about race, but also about our future plans and aspirations. Now that Huo Lang and I can be together and cultivate together, this is something I never dared to dream of before.

So...

Meiji gently stroked the dress with her fingers, her eyes filled with relief and peace, her expression remaining gentle. "I have let go of my past life and hope to embrace a better future."

This is a gift, a thank you, and more importantly, a demonstration of my inner strength.

So please accept it.

She took Jia Xitong's hand and said, "You are my first friend, and also my role model and guide in life. You deserve it."

Ahhh!

Meiji is so sentimental.

Jia Xitong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to express herself, "You...you...you're also the matchmaker who helped me successfully win over my host! You're very important to me too!"

Huo Rui, who was initially very moved, thought: ...

That makes sense, but why is the way it's said so unpleasant to hear?

"Pfft—"

Meiji laughed upon hearing this, "Even without me, you would still be together."
