Unbeknownst to Bahu, he was secretly poaching people from Golden Horn.

Since Li Boyang had already established the grand strategy of "One Village, One Industry," he was mentally prepared for various industries to advance and develop together.

This involved divine intervention, the influence of outsiders, as well as the wisdom of the mountain people themselves.

However, regardless of the circumstance, the pursuit of violence is ingrained deep in one’s genes, and the birth of a systematic military industry is an eventuality.

As Golden Horn said, Li Boyang was not actually opposed to the emergence of the military industry.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have elaborated on the principles and processes of firearm manufacturing in the "Luo Book."

But past behavior and words of Li Boyang led the Gods, Spirit Monsters, and mountain people of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to believe that this Descent Celestial Being was deeply averse to violence.

At least more so than the development of a purely military industry.

He should be more inclined to use these new things for civilian and agricultural purposes.

Perhaps only the Ghost Gods who have long listened to Li Boyang’s teachings at Yunmeng Marsh know that, although the Celestial Being seeks peace, he does not exclude the use of force.

—Force can be unused, but it must not be absent.

This has been a consistent philosophy of Li Boyang, and naturally, today is no exception.

"How many swords does your gourd hold now?"

Supporting the Silver Gourd carried by Silver Horn with one hand, Li Boyang asked curiously.

Even without opening his Celestial Eye, Li Boyang could clearly sense the changes in this Silver Gourd.

Just as the Gold Gourd, once it held the Elixir of Immortality, transformed into the Purple Gold Red Gourd.

The current Silver Gourd also exhibits a similar trend, only it possesses an even greater aggression than the Purple Gold Red Gourd.

"This... I can’t remember."

Looking blankly at the Silver Gourd in Li Boyang’s hand, Silver Horn was telling the truth this time.

Although she has a propensity for daring and fighting, she is not the type to shirk or play tricks.

The tasks Li Boyang set, Silver Horn would always complete earnestly.

Ever since she could refine artifacts independently, she would use the Prison Soul Tripod to craft a unique longsword every day.

After persevering for so many years, even Silver Horn herself couldn’t recall how many Treasure Swords the Silver Gourd had swallowed.

The only certainty is that, as the owner of this Lifebound Magical Treasure, Silver Horn receives synchronous feedback and enhancement.

Her physical prowess was strengthened, and her Body-Protecting Gang Qi underwent a metamorphosis...

Even Silver Horn’s Silver Dragon form exudes an aura of sharpness, much like a peerless Treasure Sword unsheathed.

"If you can’t remember, then so be it!"

"But you’ve tended this gourd quite well; the ’Sword Soul’ within is almost fully formed."

With a hint of Profound Yellow Qi at his fingertips, Li Boyang casually flicked open the cap of the Silver Gourd.

In an instant, a sharp Sword Aura shot out from the gourd, only to be pressed back by Li Boyang the next second.

Clang!

Despite the protection of the Body-Protecting Gang Qi, Li Boyang still felt a slight pain that he hadn’t experienced in a while.

One must understand, Li Boyang now was in the realm of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void.

The fact that it could cause him even a sliver of pain shows just how terrifying the Sword Qi within the gourd was.

"Master? Are you alright?"

As the owner of the Silver Gourd, Silver Horn naturally sensed what had just transpired.

"This gourd is indeed powerful, but it is ultimately too bloodthirsty."

Without immediately answering Silver Horn’s question, Li Boyang alleviated her concerns through his actions.

"Since you’re only one step away, let me lend you a hand!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of Silver Horn and the Unihorned Rhinoceros, Li Boyang began forming Dharma Seals with his other hand, reciting incantations.

Crackle, crackle, crackle...

Proverb Talismans, as if alive, crawled from Li Boyang’s fingertips onto the surface of the Silver Gourd.

The process was so swift that even Silver Horn didn’t react in time.

Soon after, a faint flame appeared out of nowhere, quickly engulfing the entire Silver Gourd.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The piercing sound of clashing metal resounded from within the gourd, as if thousands of weapons collided at that moment.

"Is that the Life Talisman and Transformation Talisman?"

Recognizing the types of Proverb Talismans with a single glance, Silver Horn couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

Being by Li Boyang’s side for so many years, Silver Horn naturally studied Proverb Talismans.

But precisely because she had learned the full range of Proverb Talismans...

Silver Horn understood even more how extraordinary Li Boyang’s current actions were.

It wasn’t about bestowing a single Talisman onto her Silver Gourd.

Rather, based on the inherent properties and materials of the Silver Gourd, he disassembled and reassembled the individual Proverb Talismans, creating a Compound Talisman with two or more Talisman characteristics.

Buzz!

As if to confirm Silver Horn’s thoughts.

As Li Boyang’s fingers slowly moved away from the gourd’s mouth, the Sword Qi that once emanated sharpness didn’t immediately burst out.

On the contrary, the Sword Qi that Silver Horn fused into the Silver Gourd, honed through a manner akin to insect training, transformed into a wisp of white smoke, drifting harmlessly outward.

It was as if it embodied life itself.

The wisp of white smoke twisted and changed at the gourd’s mouth.

Soon, a Silver Dragon somewhat akin to Silver Horn’s true form slowly emerged into everyone’s sight.

However, that Silver Dragon seemed dissatisfied with its current appearance.

So it reverted back to the form of a wisp of white smoke, then circled around Li Boyang, transforming once more.

"I feel like I’m being underestimated..."

Silver Horn murmured softly, a slight smirk revealing two small canine teeth.

"It’s your Lifebound Magical Treasure; why shouldn’t it have a personality like yours?"

Hearing Silver Horn’s voice, the Unihorned Rhinoceros merely rolled her eyes, thinking this girl lacks some self-awareness.

Crackle, crackle...

Amidst their quiet exchange, the wisp of white smoke returned to the gourd’s opening, undergoing its second transformation.

It became a two-headed doll.

Its appearance was clearly modeled after the current Li Boyang.

Red hair fluttering, sharp fangs like tusks...

A pair of seemingly adorable small wings sprouted from its back.

Yet the Unihorned Rhinoceros didn’t dare underestimate the bizarre two-headed doll due to its childish appearance.

For simply being stared at by it made the Unihorned Rhinoceros feel as if needles pricked her back.

This was not solely due to the Sword Soul’s innate aggressiveness; it was a powerful curse.

Indeed, this entity was far from a mere Sword Qi manifestation.

After being refined by Li Boyang, it had become an extremely aggressive Bone-Clinging Curse.

It possessed targeting and locating functions, alongside wisdom and spirituality akin to a living being.

Once marked by it, even if one escaped to The Ends of the Earth, left the Three Realms, or slipped out of the Five Elements, they would still be slain.

"Master, did you go a bit overboard with this?"

"Silver Horn’s mind is still immature; can she really control such a Divine Artifact?"
