Although Lou Gao didn't know what method Xiao Tian was talking about, thinking of Xiao Tian's divine abilities, he didn't ask any more questions and said to Xiao Tian, "Then I'll first make their Two-Word Battle Armor according to the design blueprints you gave me."
Lou Gao's eyes lit up: "To be able to create such powerful Battle Armor, I feel like this life is worth it!"
The Battle Armor Xiao Tian gave him included the Soft Shadow Battle Armor for Xiao Wu, the Glazed Battle Armor for Ning Rongrong, the Nether Battle Armor for Zhu Zhuqing, and the Emerald Phosphor Battle Armor for Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.
The quality of Battle Armor, like spirit rings, is divided into White, Yellow, Purple, Black, Red, and Gold levels, with each level up bringing a qualitative leap in the Battle Armor's power and performance.
Generally, a Battle Armor has eleven components: a headband, a chest plate, a left shoulder plate + upper arm plate, a right shoulder plate + upper arm plate, a left hand guard + forearm plate, a right hand guard + forearm plate, a waist guard + battle skirt, a left thigh plate, a right thigh plate, a left shin plate + battle boot, and a right shin plate + battle boot.
Therefore, Lou Gao's burden was very heavy. In the entire Sect, besides Lou Gao, a Divine Craftsman, there was only Xiao Tian. However, Xiao Tian's most important task at the moment was to first raise his spirit power level. (Lou Gao's spirit tool crafting was taught by Xiao Tian, so Xiao Tian's forging skills were even more formidable than Lou Gao's.)
Xiao Tian looked at Lou Gao and chuckled, "Senior Lou Gao, if you want to create Four-Word Battle Armor, then your strength also needs to improve. You are currently only a Spirit Douluo. It will be very difficult to create these few sets of Three-Word Battle Armor."
Lou Gao's expression stiffened slightly, then he sighed, "There's no other way. With my talent and age, I'll be a Spirit Douluo at most in this life."
Xiao Tian smiled slightly, "That may not be so!" As he spoke, a half-Immortal Herb appeared in Xiao Tian's hand, and he said, "Senior Lou Gao, this herb should be able to improve your talent and cultivation speed."
Lou Gao was somewhat surprised by this. He knew that this should be an Immortal Herb growing near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Its growth cycle was extremely slow, and its quantity was limited. Yet, Xiao Tian was willing to give him one!
Lou Gao's eyes slightly reddened, and his expression was full of emotion: "Sect Master, you..." At this moment, Lou Gao's address for Xiao Tian had already changed to Sect Master. Since Lou Gao joined Xiao Tian's command, he had not actually made many significant contributions.
Whether in the crafting of spirit tools or the field of Battle Armor creation, the crucial techniques and blueprints were all provided to him by Xiao Tian. Lou Gao felt deeply ashamed, believing he was unworthy of what he received.
In his opinion, Xiao Tian placed too much trust in him.
Xiao Tian, however, didn't care what Lou Gao was thinking. He simply said, "Senior Lou Gao, as I said before, trust those you use, and don't use those you distrust. You don't need to feel guilty. You are one of only two people in our Sect who can create Battle Armor. I won't be participating in the crafting for a while, so I can only trouble you. Your role is very important; don't underestimate yourself."
Xiao Tian's words also made Lou Gao feel a little better. He looked at him with determined eyes and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to create the most perfect Battle Armor!"
Afterward, Xiao Tian returned to his bedroom.
Regarding how to quickly improve everyone's strength in a short time, he already had an idea in mind. He couldn't do it alone, but he still had the system.
This time, completing the mission not only earned him the Demon Subjugation Tower but also 100,000 points.
And in the system store's search bar, he successfully found what he had been longing for: the Spirit Time House!
According to the system's description, the Spirit Time House could be set up in a certain space within the Demon Subjugation Tower, and the scene inside the house could also be customized.
One day of activation required 10,000 points, and only two people were allowed to enter at a time.
One day outside was one year inside.
It had to be said that the cost was a bit expensive. Xiao Tian felt a pang of heartache, but he still thought it was worth it.
This year, perhaps for powerhouses above Spirit Douluo, they might not even be able to raise their spirit power by one level, but for Xiao Wu and the others, it was enough. Moreover, they all possessed cultivation techniques, and focusing on cultivation for a year would definitely bring immense improvement.
In addition, Xiao Tian spent an extra 10,000 points to purchase gravity crystals. He planned to divide the Spirit Time House into many areas, each with different gravity, to simulate the same effect as the Seagod's Light, further accelerating the speed of spirit power cultivation!
This matter would be arranged tomorrow. At this moment, he had a more important thing to do.
Thinking this, Xiao Tian flashed and appeared in front of Ning Rongrong's door, gently knocking: "Rongrong, are you in there?"
Ning Rongrong was originally quietly planning to cultivate for a while, but just then, she suddenly heard that extremely familiar voice. A joyful expression immediately appeared on her face, and then, her slender little hands gently pressed against her small chest, meticulously feeling the vigorous beating of her heart.
Then, she quickly stepped forward and opened the door. When she saw the person in front of her, she giggled and asked, "Why are you here?" Xiao Tian, in turn, revealed a warm smile and replied, "The night is truly beautiful tonight, so I thought I'd come and take a walk with my girlfriend."
Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled, a faint blush appearing on her face. She grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and said, "That's great, I was feeling a bit stuffy in the room."
Xiao Tian gently squeezed her hand and teased, "Is cultivation too boring?"
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, pouting a bit in annoyance, "It is a bit boring, but my cultivation is too low right now. I have to train harder to catch up with you guys."
Xiao Tian looked at her dotingly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Besides, don't you still have a skull bone? Once you absorb it, you can break through to Spirit King. Shu Mountain is so big, let's go explore it while the night is bright."
Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay~~" With that, she pulled Xiao Tian and skipped out, laughter echoing in the air. Just being alone with Xiao Tian like this made her extremely happy, and tonight was the first time Xiao Tian had initiative come out to find her in the evening.
Ning Rongrong was secretly delighted, but then she wondered, could Xiao Wu have said something to Xiao Tian?
As soon as she thought of the words she had secretly said to Xiao Wu in the Spirit Fighting Arena last time, an indescribable feeling of shyness welled up in her heart, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed.
She furtively glanced at Xiao Tian with a slight sense of guilt, but unexpectedly, at that very moment, her gaze met his. She panicked, quickly turning her head away, and this action made her appear even more guilty.
Xiao Tian looked at Ning Rongrong's guilty expression and couldn't help but chuckle. He squeezed her soft, boneless little hand. "What's wrong? Why is your face suddenly so red? Tell me, did you do something behind my back, so you feel guilty?"
Ning Rongrong felt as if her little heart was about to leap out of her chest. She slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Xiao Tian's deep, pool-like eyes. Illuminated by the bright moonlight, those eyes appeared exceptionally captivating, making one intoxicated.
Ning Rongrong quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look directly. Xiao Tian, seeing Ning Rongrong's adorable expression, as if ready to be picked, misunderstood her meaning. So, he leaned down and kissed her.
Boom—
Ning Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Xiao Tian with some disbelief, her mind suddenly a mess. Why did Xiao Tian suddenly kiss her?
Xiao Tian released Ning Rongrong's hand, placing both hands on her waist, tightening his grip to pull her closer to him.
After a long minute, Xiao Tian slowly released his hands that were tightly embracing Ning Rongrong's slender waist.
At this moment, he met Ning Rongrong's shy eyes, and a warm smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Then, he gently hooked Ning Rongrong's nose and softly said, "What's wrong? Did you suddenly become silly?"
Ning Rongrong subconsciously licked the moisture on her lips. After a moment, she finally came back to her senses, "You, why did you suddenly kiss me..." As Ning Rongrong spoke, she felt increasingly shy, and her voice became softer and softer, as if she were whispering.
Xiao Tian was slightly taken aback and said, "Didn't you tell me to kiss you?"
"Ah? When did I say that..." Ning Rongrong's words suddenly cut off. She recalled her actions just before Xiao Tian kissed her, and it seemed... it really did look like she was asking for a kiss.
In an instant, her face turned completely red! "I... I... I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean that just now..."
"Oh, so Rongrong doesn't want to?" Xiao Tian once again met Ning Rongrong's eyes with his gaze.
Ning Rongrong merely whispered, "Just now, I actually... didn't even react, so it doesn't count!" As soon as her words fell, Ning Rongrong proactively raised her face and tightly closed her eyes.
Her eyelashes fluttered gently, indicating that her heart was far from calm at that moment. Her delicate body even trembled slightly.
Xiao Tian's eyes burned with fervor. He slowly leaned closer to Ning Rongrong, his breath gently caressing her face.
Ning Rongrong's heart rate suddenly quickened. Before she could react further, Xiao Tian's lips gently and firmly covered hers. In that instant, the World seemed to quieten, with only the clear sound of their intertwined breaths audible.
Xiao Tian's kiss carried a hint of urgency and deep affection. He tilted his head slightly, deepening the kiss, and his hands instinctively tightened around Ning Rongrong's waist, as if to merge her into his very being.
Ning Rongrong's hands subconsciously gripped Xiao Tian's sleeves, her body trembling slightly, as if swept away by this surging emotional tide. Between their lips and teeth, endless love and longing were conveyed. Time seemed to stop at this moment, leaving only their tightly embracing and deeply kissing figures, everything around them turning into nothingness.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but after a long while, Ning Rongrong very urgently slapped Xiao Tian's back. After Xiao Tian let go, Ning Rongrong was finally able to gasp for air. The kiss had lasted far too long; if not for the difficulty in breathing, she even felt that she might have completely lost herself in it, unable to extricate herself.

Xiao Tian's expression remained unchanged, but he did feel a bit awkward. This wasn't something he could control. At first, it was normal, but then, his hand on Ning Rongrong's waist started to become restless, and she didn't resist; instead, she responded passionately.
Xiao Tian secretly cursed his own restless hands, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall that soft touch from just now.
Neither of them deliberately brought up what had just happened. Instead, they held hands and walked into the distance.
Gradually, they slowly arrived at the back mountain.
The scenery here was truly breathtaking, with extremely lush forests, and there was also a natural lake here.
This lake, untouched by human pollution, presented a beauty of extreme purity. The lake water was crystal clear, and the surrounding natural environment complemented the lake, together creating a tranquil and beautiful scene.
Xiao Tian and Ning Rongrong came to the lakeside and sat down. Ning Rongrong leaned against Xiao Tian's embrace, rubbing her small head against him. Xiao Tian's nose touched Ning Rongrong's soft hair, and a faint fragrance wafted, very pleasant to smell.
"Rongrong, did you put something on? I feel like you smell so good," Xiao Tian asked, puzzled. He originally wanted to ask if she had sprayed perfume, but did this World have perfume right now? He seemed to have never seen it, though he had seen rouge.
Ning Rongrong whispered, "No, perhaps it's because I just took a bath, so there's a faint scent on me."
Following that, Ning Rongrong, with a shy expression, inquired, "What do you think? Does it smell good?"
Xiao Tian involuntarily rubbed his face gently into her soft hair, then gave an affirmative reply: "It smells very good."
The two of them leaned against the big tree behind them, gazing up at the starry sky. Ning Rongrong's face was filled with happiness: "If only we could always be like this in the future, without so much fighting and killing."
Xiao Tian said very seriously, "That day will come very soon!"
The two of them remained silent in the tranquil atmosphere, but gradually, the scent of hormones seemed to rise in the air. Xiao Tian's hand couldn't help but become restless again.
Ning Rongrong's delicate body trembled slightly, but she didn't stop Xiao Tian's actions. Xiao Tian became even bolder, unbuttoning the front of Ning Rongrong's clothes and exploring deeper.
