Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Damaged Floating Skyship
Translator: 549690339
Watching the Outer Elder in front of him, Xu Fan’s mind was spinning rapidly.
“Elder, what do you mean by that?”
Xu Fan managed to strike the right tone of fear and confusion.
“The Sect is at a critical moment when Artifact Refiners are needed, yet you are busy with private matters,” the Outer Elder glared and said, while humming a small tune in his heart. The task assigned by the Peak Master had been completed.
“I originally wanted to contribute to the Sect, but I was heavily injured while being pursued after leaving the Sect half a month ago. It’s only now that I have fully recovered.”
“This Artifact is just something that I had arranged to refine for someone else.
The deadline is approaching, so I hurried over to refine it.”
“Tomorrow, I will accept the Sect’s tasks.”
Xu Fan cautiously said, as Nascent Soul stage cultivators were Big Shots to him and he didn’t dare offend them.
“So that’s the case, it seems we have wronged you.” Outer Elder nodded, then continued, “What kind of Magical Treasure did you just refine? I can give you some guidance.”
Xu Fan wanted to refuse, but seeing the Outer Elder’s eager expression, he decisively gave up on that idea.
When the sword box was taken out, the Outer Elder’s gaze changed, as if a jade lover saw an uncarved treasure jade.
The Elder took the sword box and began to examine it carefully.
“Hmm, your rune foundation is very solid, and the depiction of the array is quite creative.”
“Purifying, fusing, and forming are also fine, which should be due to the external Spiritual Fire.”
The Elder’s eyes grew brighter and brighter; this kid’s rune foundation was truly too solid. It seemed that the Refining Equipment Peak would produce another Refining Grandmaster soon.
“How many kinds of runes have you mastered?” the Elder casually asked.
“206,” replied Xu Fan. He had spent half of his Spirit Stones buying runes, and he hadn’t even learned some of the rarer ones yet, their willpower having already dissipated.
“Not bad, not bad. You just forget about taking tasks. I will meet you here tomorrow morning and take you to the Inner Sect to repair the Floating
Skyship.”
The Elder patted Xu Fan’s shoulder, leaving a mark on Xu Fan’s body.
“Junior will be waiting here tomorrow to greet Senior.” Xu Fan respectfully said as he took the sword box back.
“Alright.”
Since then, whenever Xu Fan came to the Earth Heart Square, he had an additional habit – setting up several layers of barriers before refining artifacts.
On the Lingfeng Boat, Xu Fan looked back at the Earth Heart Square, and just as he was about to complain, he remembered the mark on his shoulder and chose to stay silent.
Spiritual Peak, Alliance Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.
Xu Fan handed the sword box to Pang Fu.
“Master Xu, your three Artifacts have sold for a total of 200,000 Spirit Stones,” said Pang Fu.
Xu Fan was startled – were they worth so much?
“How come there are 50,000 more Spirit Stones, I’ve already thought it was a lot at 50,000 per Artifact.”
“For so many years, our Chamber of Commerce’s reputation as a Refining Grandmaster in the Outer Sect is quite renowned.”
“So when the news of you selling Artifacts broke, there was a constant stream of people coming to see them.”
“In addition to the Sect exchange meeting in two months, the price was greatly inflated.” Pang Fu said happily.
“Also, I’ve received 16 orders from disciples who intend to participate in the Battle Hall.”
Upon hearing that there were so many orders, Xu Fan was first overjoyed, then hesitated a little before saying, “Put these orders on hold for now; I’ve been conscripted by an Elder from the Refining Equipment Peak.”
“Alright, there’s no hurry for these orders anyway,” Pang Fu replied.
“Leave the 200,000 Spirit Stones with the Chamber of Commerce for now. I’ll use them when I need to purchase materials later.”
Then, Xu Fan handed Pang Fu a list of the things he needed to purchase.
“The full set of corpses for Foundation Establishment Peak and Early Golden Core Demonic Beasts?”
“Master Xu, are you going to make a large number of puppets?” Pang Fu said in surprise, as he had helped Xu Fan acquire a Golden Core early-stage Flood Dragon corpse not long ago.
“Feels like life lacks security.” Xu Fan said with a grin.
Upon returning to his own mountain peak, Xu Fan found a spiritual sword for transmitting messages hovering outside his restriction.
Xu Fan gently touched it, and all the information appeared in his mind.
“This Zhu Jiao has too many issues, I don’t need his thanks, just stay away from me.”
After seeing the message, Xu Fan decided that after bringing his two disciples back, he would move and go into seclusion.
Xu Fan prepared the artifacts for artifact refining and began to rest. Refining treasure artifacts consumed a lot of mental energy, so he needed to rest well.
In the early morning, Xu Fan appeared at the entrance of the Earth’s Core in the Refining Equipment Peak, chatting with the guards.
At this moment, a huge carriage appeared in mid-air, a sucking force directly pulled Xu Fan onto the carriage.
In the carriage, Xu Fan saw the elder from yesterday.
“Have you rested well?” The elder asked with a smile, seeming in a good mood.
“Already fully recovered.”
“Have you been to the inner sect?” The elder asked with a smile.
“No.” Xu Fan said, he guessed that the inner sect should be in an extremely high place, with a sky continent, or a secret realm.
“Then let me show you around.”
After saying this, the elder started the carriage-like building and flew into the sky. Xu Fan looked out the window, trying to see the inner sect in the distance.
“Don’t bother looking, the inner sect is not here.”
As he spoke, the carriage turned into a large cloud, and in an instant, the world changed.
Xu Fan opened his mouth wide as he looked at the giant gate in the distance, which was like a giant peak.
There were also two kilometer-long Sea of Clouds Flood Dragons guarding both sides of the giant gate.
“The inner sect is actually half of a Little Thousand World.” The elder looked at the astonished Xu Fan and said contentedly, just like when he saw this giant gate for the first time.
“Elder, what is the cultivation level of the two Flood Dragons guarding the door?” Xu Fan looked at the Flood Dragons roaming near the giant gate and asked. It was said that they could evolve into True Dragons at the Mahayana stage.
“Integration Stage, they were caught by the Sect Leader in the Endless Sea. Don’t they look very domineering?” The elder smiled and said.
“Mm-hmm.”
“Haha, if you spend 10,000 Spirit Stones, they will let you ride on them for a spin.” Elder winked at Xu Fan.
Riding a Flood Dragon is not like going to a club, why are you being so ambiguous?
“I don’t think I need to do that. With 10,000 Spirit Stones, I can buy more useful things.” Xu Fan said, after living for thousands of years, I could get some of these creatures too.
“What a pity, it’s actually quite impressive.” The elder said regretfully. In order to ride the Flood Dragon for a spin back then, he had saved a lot of Spirit Stones for a long time, and it wasn’t as cheap as it is now.
At this moment, the elder’s carriage passed through the giant gate, which was at least 10,000 meters high according to Xu Fan’s estimation.
Upon entering the gate, Xu Fan saw the Floating Skyship, riddled with holes, suspended in the sky.
“The main reason you were called here is to repair the outer skin of the Floating Skyship and reconnect the damaged runes.”
“Don’t worry about not being able to refine the materials. There are specialized Void Refining Cultivators to help you.”
“As for the reward, it is calculated based on your workload, 1,000 Spirit Stones per square meter.”
“Also, I’ll teach you 20 runes. Is that acceptable?”
Xu Fan began to get excited when he heard about the 20 runes.
“Elder, are there any runes related to spatial stabilization, spirit power connection, and spirit power control?” Xu Fan asked excitedly.
“Yes, they are all available.” The elder showed a sweet smile, see, I’m not that kind of coercive elder..
