Seeing that Hua Ling agreed so readily, Chen Tianwen's goodwill towards Hua Ling increased greatly.

Although Hua Ling appears to be a twenty-year-old girl, she has little experience interacting with people and is rather naive. However, she is bold and decisive, and also beautiful—how could she not be liked?

Chen Tianwen took out several bottles of Creation Essence and handed them to Hua Ling. Hua Ling was stunned for a moment, but did not accept the Creation Essence, even though it would be very useful to her now.

Looking at the painting spirit's appearance, Chen Tianwen couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"You've just taken physical form, and your strength has dropped to the Void Refinement stage. I think that demon god has lost your suppression and will soon escape from it!"

"You should improve your strength first, otherwise I might not be able to protect you when the Demon God comes out!"

The painting spirit then accepted the life-giving energy of creation, not forgetting to pout and say:

"Who needs your protection? I'm just as capable as you, okay!"

Chen Tianwen smiled, and Hua Ling placed the life-giving energy of creation in her bosom, saying:

"Then I'll consider this a favor I owe you, and I'll pay you back later!"

Chen Tianwen certainly didn't expect the painting spirit to repay his favor, but since the painting spirit had said so, Chen Tianwen had no choice but to go along with it and said:

"Find me a quiet place; I need to refine some pills. Consider it repaying a favor."

Although Hua Ling was simple-minded, she knew that Chen Tianwen didn't want her to care too much about these creation-related spirits. She pursed her lips and flew away with Chen Tianwen into the distance.

When it comes to understanding the Secret Realm of the Sinking Wall, no one can compare to Hua Ling.

Although Chen Tianwen could return to the spiritual energy space to refine pills, he would need to find a way to break through afterward, so it was safer for him to stay in this secret realm.

Because Chen Tianwen's breakthroughs always caused quite a stir...

"Now that you have taken human form, can't you start cultivating your techniques?"

Chen Tianwen asked curiously, "If Hua Ling wants to cultivate, and if there are no cultivation techniques, Chen Tianwen is willing to give Hua Ling a few."

"Hmm! When I took human form, I unlocked the inherited memories. Now I can cultivate the techniques left behind by the Demon Lord Chenbi."

Hua Ling nodded, which made Chen Tianwen slightly disappointed. He had planned to bind Hua Ling firmly to his warship after delivering the cultivation technique, but now it seemed that the plan had fallen through.

Chen Tianwen said again, unwilling to give up:

"The Demon Lord Chenbi's techniques, does that mean they can't be used in the Spirit Realm? Does that mean you can only stay in the Demon Realm?"

The spirit painting chuckled, a smile possessing a captivating beauty that left Chen Tianwen momentarily stunned. The spirit painting glanced at Chen Tianwen and said:

"As a great emperor, how could the Demon Lord Chenbi's cultivation techniques have the limitations you mentioned?"

Chen Tianwen was speechless; it seemed his path was completely blocked. He had no choice but to change the subject to ease the awkwardness.

"Why don't you give yourself a name? How about 'Drawing Eyebrows'?"

"No way! Don't think I don't know, 'Huamei' is the name of a bird. Hmm... from now on, just call me Hua Qingyue!"

Hua Ling, no, now she should be called Hua Qingyue.

After saying this, Hua Qingyue seemed very satisfied with her new name.

Chen Tianwen silently memorized the name.

Hua Qingyue's flight through the Shenbi Secret Realm can only be described as shrinking the distance to an inch.

Although Hua Qingyue is currently only at the Refinement stage, she was once the painting spirit of the Shenbi Secret Realm, and all the resources within the secret realm can be mobilized by Hua Qingyue.

In just one hour, Chen Tianwen and Hua Qingyue arrived at a place tens of millions of miles away.

"Look, this is the core of the Shenbi Secret Realm's array. You can refine medicine here as you please, and no one will disturb you."

Hua Qingyue led Chen Tianwen to the entrance of a magnificent hall, left these words behind, and then drifted away.

It seems it went somewhere to refine its life essence.

Chen Tianwen looked at the building in front of him, nodded, and walked into the main hall.

The main hall was filled with all sorts of magical herbs and spirits, which Hua Qingyue must have collected in the Shenbi Secret Realm.

Chen Tianwen didn't bother with the animated Qingyue items; he took out his medicine cauldron and prepared to start refining medicine.

Although everything has been simplified, the process of refining the elixir remains complicated.

Moreover, this was Chen Tianwen's first time refining immortal pills, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Chen Tianwen adjusted his breathing, then took out various medicinal herbs from his spiritual energy space and threw them into the medicine cauldron.

This time, Chen Tianwen is going to refine a first-order immortal pill called "Star Body Refining Pill". After simplification, it requires twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials and fifteen hours of refining time.

Although it was Chen Tianwen's first time refining elixirs, the simplified version was not too difficult for him.

It was a success on the first try; three top-grade first-tier immortal pills were successfully refined.

However, a small incident occurred in the middle.

Because it was a celestial elixir, an ordinary cauldron could not withstand its pressure. If Chen Tianwen hadn't injected the Qi of Creation into the cauldron in time, it would have exploded during the refining process.

Therefore, this batch of elixirs could only end in failure!

Fortunately, it was finally successfully refined.

In fact, when facing the pressure from the Qilin Saint Lord, Chen Tianwen had a feeling that he needed to break through. Now, with the help of the Star Body Refining Pill, Chen Tianwen is confident that he can achieve the Great Perfection of Body Refining in one fell swoop!

The Star Body Refining Pill, as the name suggests, uses the power of stars to forge the body and increase one's physical cultivation.

It just so happens that Chen Tianwen is currently cultivating the "Thousand Star Body Refinement" technique, which is a perfect match for this elixir.

Chen Tianwen dared not break through inside the main hall, fearing that the noise would be too great and damage Hua Qingyue's collection.

Chen Tianwen ran out of the main hall, found an open space at random, and began to sit cross-legged to refine the pills.

To be on the safe side, Chen Tianwen swallowed all three Star Body Refining Pills.

Only someone like Chen Tianwen, whose body refinement is nearing completion, would dare to swallow three top-grade immortal pills at once. And the "safety" he mentioned refers to ensuring the pills' efficacy is sufficient, thus making the breakthrough to completion of body refinement more secure.

After the three elixirs entered his body, the surging medicinal power instantly spread throughout Chen Tianwen's entire body. A large amount of stellar power flowed through Chen Tianwen's meridians, washing away the impurities on his body.

Meanwhile, the demonic energy within the secret realm transformed into starlight and converged towards Chen Tianwen.

After achieving minor success in body refinement, the skin and torso of the body are almost free of impurities.

When one achieves mastery of body refinement, one cleanses the entire body, including the internal organs, of all impurities, in order to reach the state of a naturally formed Dao body.

What Chen Tianwen is doing now is a cleansing from the outside in.

As the power of the stars flowed, specks of black impurities also flowed out of Chen Tianwen's body!
