However, in his heart, he was filled with endless complaints. Yes, how did he know? Was it the help of the Mirror God? Or was it a sudden stroke of genius? Or perhaps it was God...? Was he just a blind cat dragging a dead mouse, truly making things up?
However, no matter how I explain it, I doubt they will believe me.

Chapter 154 Bodysuit
Xiao Wenbing smiled, putting on an inscrutable expression, while glancing around. Suddenly, his gaze inadvertently swept over the two women, and a sudden idea struck him, making him overjoyed.
He took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, Senior, I have also done a lot of research on the art of combining the five elements."
"Oh? You..." The Moonlit Wolf King drawled out his words suspiciously. He turned his head and met the gazes of the two elders, Hui and Hui, who both noticed the strange look in each other's eyes.
Think about it, a junior Taoist who is only at the Golden Core stage, instead of cultivating, he spends his time studying the Five Elements Unity.
This feeling is like a well-behaved kindergarten child who doesn't play but instead studies profound subjects like the origins of humankind, which is both laughable and unbelievable.
Indeed, upon hearing Xiao Wenbing's words, not only the Moonlit Wolf King but also the two elders of the Hui family were skeptical.
Xiao Wenbing was able to combine ten into one because his talent for weapon crafting was indeed exceptionally high, but high talent does not equate to broad knowledge.
The unity of the five elements is a profound subject. Without hundreds of years of diligent study, one might not even grasp the basics, let alone delve into its intricacies. Considering Xiao Wenbing's age, he is only at the Golden Core stage... a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core realm. The credibility of his words is questionable.
However, to their surprise, Xiao Wenbing adopted a very serious expression and solemnly said, "That's right. After many years of diligent, tireless, and tireless efforts, I have finally achieved some success."
The two women exchanged a glance. Having known Xiao Wenbing for a long time, they were well aware of his character and absolutely did not believe his words.
The two elders, Hui and the Moonlit Wolf King, looked at each other, feeling extremely ashamed.
Xiao Wenbing was just a Golden Core cultivator. Even if he started researching this problem from the womb, it would only take him a little over a hundred years to achieve some success. So what about these three old guys?
Could it be that they've been eating all these years?
"Ahem, please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Xiao." Stunned by his boastful words, even the usually arrogant Moonlit Wolf King had to adopt a humble attitude and ask for guidance.
Xiao Wenbing nodded to himself. These were truly masters who were obsessed with the art of weapon crafting. In their hearts, they had an incomparably fervent love for the art of weapon crafting, which had even surpassed their lives.
Therefore, the old man HP was able to hit it off with him immediately. He generously gifted him his treasured collection of many years, and the Moonlit Wolf King no longer held a grudge about the earlier conflict. Instead, he carefully put on a smiling face.
After a moment of internal reflection, Xiao Wenbing loosened his belt, slipped his hand into his trousers, and began to rummage around...
After a while, he pulled out two pieces of rag that were joined at one end from his pants.
Feng and Zhang immediately blushed and turned their heads away, not daring to look again.
"Senior, please take a look." Xiao Wenbing tossed the bodysuit to the Wolf King.
The Moonlit Wolf King casually pulled him over, and his large, wine-like nose twitched twice. After all, he was a wolf demon in human form, and the sensitivity of his nose far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even the top-tier hunting dogs would pale in comparison.
As he held the tattered cloth, he suddenly smelled a very peculiar odor, which seemed to have a faint fishy smell.
He was filled with great curiosity. Apart from those special magical artifacts from the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm, most magical artifacts in the cultivation world were designed to be beautiful and colorful. Even if they couldn't achieve the beauty of birdsong and blooming flowers, they shouldn't have such a foul odor.
His nose twitched twice more. Although the scent was faint and almost imperceptible, who was Old Wolf? It was impossible for him to hide it from that all-seeing nose.
Fortunately, it was this old wolf; if it were someone else, they might not have been able to smell it.
The Moonlit Wolf King stared intently at the magical artifact in his hand. Could it be that the minor achievement that Xiao Wenbing mentioned actually referred to the use of methods from the Demon Realm or the Ghost Realm?
Although this method has been criticized by many experts in the cultivation world, Old Wolf doesn't care. As long as it can be achieved, any method is worth learning.
Calming himself down, the Moonlit Wolf King began to focus his attention and examine the object in his hand.
one two three?
"Heavens..." A mournful howl escaped Old Wolf's lips. He raised his bodysuit high, and even the faint, strange scent seemed to become incredibly fragrant. He opened his throat and shouted, "Four...five...the five elements united..."
The two elders, Hui and his wife, stared intently at the product, their faces also filled with disbelief.
With their years of knowledge about magical artifacts, they didn't even need to touch the artifacts; a single glance from afar was enough to tell whether an artifact was good or bad.
On that small, tight-fitting garment, five-colored light faintly shimmered. These five lights were gentle and subtle, appearing and disappearing intermittently. The power of the five elements was completely and seamlessly integrated into one.
Compared to the throne artifact of the Moonlit Wolf King, the difference between the two is obvious, although in terms of total energy, this tattered underwear-like tight-fitting garment is far inferior.
However, in terms of the degree of fusion of light, the two are worlds apart.
Although the five rays of light from the throne were bright, they gave people a strange, forced feeling, far less smooth and natural than the five-colored rays of light on this small magic item.
Looking at the delighted expression on Senior Sanquan's face, Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly and said, "If I am not mistaken, Senior Wolf King's throne magic weapon, although it can be called the unity of the five elements, lacks some variation."
"What changes?"
"Mutual generation".
The Moonlit Wolf King slapped his wolf thigh hard, making a muffled sound, and said, "That's right, I just felt that something was missing. It took me a long time to figure it out. This magic artifact only stores all the power of the five elements, so that they do not counteract each other when used. But it is absolutely impossible for the five elements to flow and generate endlessly."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what about this magical artifact?" Daoist Huipu asked, pointing to the two tattered pieces of cloth in the Wolf King's hand. "Although its design is a bit strange, as long as it's a good item, even the oddest style is acceptable."
"Hehe..." Xiao Wenbing said with a grin: "As the saying goes, seeing is believing. So, I'll give you my performance and ask for your guidance."
The three elders cheered in unison. Xiao Wenbing asked the Moonlit Wolf King to raise the tight-fitting clothes in his hand, while he gathered all his strength and used the method of drawing talismans with his bare hands to draw a large blazing fire talisman in the air.
Powerful fire energy gathered in the Fiery Talisman and hurtled towards the Old Wolf King.
"puff……"
With a soft sound, Xiao Wenbing's strike, imbued with all his spiritual power, landed heavily on the old wolf king's chest.
However, it was like throwing a stone into the ocean, without causing the slightest ripple; not even a single hair on the old wolf king's chest was damaged.
Xiao Wenbing was speechless. This big dog's cultivation level was indeed unfathomable. His full-force attack hadn't even elicited a reaction from him. It seemed that only Feng Baiyi's lightning and Zhang Yaqi's Qiankun Circle could harm him.
"What's wrong?" the old wolf king asked, puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wenbing immediately launched an attack, making a false accusation: "Senior, since you want to test the power of the magic weapon, why are you holding it so high? Lower it, that's right, use it to block my attacks."
"puff……"
The second fiery talisman struck the two tattered cloths heavily, a strange red light flashed and disappeared, followed by yellow, white, black, and green lights, representing the five energies, which kept changing, appearing and disappearing. The five energies reached a perfect balance, and the brilliant light gradually faded away.
“The five elements generate each other…” the two elders Hui and Ding said in a hoarse voice.
“The five elements generate each other…” the Moonlit Wolf King roared.
Interdependent and ever-renewing, this is the true essence of the power of the Five Elements.
Although the Wolf King's Throne is incredibly powerful, it is several levels below in terms of spiritual realm.
The five elements unite to create endless life; it's already unimaginable that such a legendary technique could appear before our eyes. But the fact that the person who crafted this magical artifact is merely a junior of the Golden Core is even more incredible.
Both the Hui Elders and the Moonlit Wolf King were renowned weapon-refining masters in the cultivation world.
In the art of craftsmanship within the Taoist tradition, the skill of crafting implements has already reached its pinnacle. Now, seeing a junior effortlessly produce a super magical artifact that truly impresses him, how can he not feel moved?
"The greatest effect of this magical artifact is that it can neutralize the enemy's magical attacks according to the changes of the five elements, and even..." He glanced at the Moonlit Wolf King, whose face was full of envy, and was secretly delighted. He continued, "It can even become the user's own defensive power."
"What a treasure, what a treasure..." The Moonlit Wolf King kept praising it. His divine sense had never left the tattered cloth since he witnessed its power.
“Cough…” Xiao Wenbing coughed softly and slowly, and extended a palm towards the Moonlit Wolf King.
The old wolf king's face was filled with hesitation and reluctance. His large eyes darted around, his mind racing, contemplating whether to grab the item and flee immediately. If Xiao Wenbing knew his thoughts, he would surely cry out in his heart, "The thinking of demons and humans is different, so very different..."
Volume Four: The Divine Artifacts, Chapter 155: Scams and Deceptions
------------------------
Dream King Chapter 155 Scam and Deception
After much deliberation, the wolf king finally gave up the idea. It wasn't that he was obsessed with saving face; for this beast, what did face matter? Only tangible benefits mattered.
Just as when he was still a child and had not yet taken shape, could he possibly have considered the issue of face when hunting?
His true wish was to be able to fill his stomach, continue his cultivation, and attain immortality as soon as possible.
He abandoned that tempting idea because he knew that doing so would inevitably offend the Jade Cauldron Sect. Of course, if it were just the Jade Cauldron Sect, that would be fine, but beside Xiao Wenbing, there was also a direct descendant of the Thunder Palace, a Thunder Physique... It was estimated that his status in the Thunder Palace couldn't be too low.
If they were to provoke the Thunder Palace's army to press their way in, their Sirius would be in grave danger.
Others fear committing too many sins and finding it difficult to survive future tribulations, but the people of the Heavenly Thunder Palace are not afraid.
As for the Heavenly Thunder Palace, they deal with the Heavenly Tribulation all the time and have already developed a relationship with it, so of course they don't care anymore.
After taking one last, intense look at the magical artifact in his hand, the Wolf King reluctantly returned it to Xiao Wenbing.
Such a treasure cannot be understood with just a quick glance. The changes of the Five Elements are endless. To figure out its mysteries would require even an old wolf like him, a hundred or two hundred years of effort, and it would be utterly impossible.
Xiao Wenbing took the bodysuit and handed it to Master Huipu. The old Taoist's divine sense drifted over and he sighed, "Fellow Daoist Xiao is indeed no ordinary person. This magic artifact has... no, it has five arrays. Each one is independent of the others, yet they support each other. Hmm, the layout is ingenious and the application is skillful. It is truly ingenious. This old Taoist has really broadened his horizons."
Huiming reached out and observed for a long time before saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have never seen these five formations before. I wonder where they came from."
Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "Senior, I learned about these five formations from an ancient book. I had nothing better to do, so I just randomly put them together, and I didn't expect to actually create something strange." He replied casually, but in his heart he thought, "I know how to do it but not why. You ask me about its origins and principles, but who am I supposed to ask?"
Am I supposed to ask the Mirror God? Of course, that old fellow knows, but I can't understand a single thing about the reasoning it's trying to explain...
Hmm, perhaps, when my cultivation deepens and my knowledge broadens, and I reach the Tribulation Transcending stage, I might be able to comprehend the principles behind this. But definitely not now…
The HP brothers nodded repeatedly, agreeing that this was the correct conclusion. It would be unbelievable if Xiao Wenbing had figured out these formations on his own.
“However…” Xiao Wenbing continued, “I have obtained these five formations and have gone through tens of thousands of concentration tests, wasting countless materials, but I have only managed to make three of them.”
"Why is that?" HP asked, puzzled.
Feng and Zhang exchanged a glance. This guy was lying again. If they didn't know his background well, seeing how vividly he spoke, and with the Hui elders and the others looking at it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, they might actually have believed him.
However, on Earth, the two women personally witnessed him successfully forge these three magical treasures within a few days. To forge them tens of thousands of times in just a few days… Don't be ridiculous!
"Based on my experience of refining magic artifacts tens of thousands of times, it seems that at the moment the magic artifact is formed, these five formations will automatically attract a mysterious force in the space. If the magic artifact can be successfully introduced, it will naturally be a great success. However, if one is not careful and makes a slight mistake, then..." Xiao Wenbing made up a story on the spot.
"Mysterious power?"
