Xu Fan continued to act cheap in front of the shopkeeper. After a while, he found that no one was visiting the shop, so he got bored and set up a simple doorbell array at the entrance. If someone approached, the array would trigger a pleasant bell sound.
As soon as he entered the refining room, he saw Senior Brother Sha controlling a ball of spiritual fire that was as red as fresh blood, refining the materials.
“It’s so convenient to be able to carry spiritual fire with you,” said Xu Fan enviously. It seemed that he would need to refine some artifacts or treasure artifacts for easy storage of different types of spiritual fire in the future.
Senior Brother Sha, who was in the process of refining materials, laughed and said, “Junior Brother Xu, you are now at the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation. It will only take a few years for you to advance to Foundation Establishment, so don’t worry.”
“When Junior Brother Xu reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, I’ll give him a ball of spiritual fire,” said Senior Brother Sha generously. A true friend is hard to come by, so what’s a ball of spiritual fire worth?
“Haha, thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Sha, but I already have a ball of spiritual fire at home. You don’t have to put yourself out,” said Xu Fan. Was Senior Brother Sha not tempered by society, giving away something worth over 100,000 spirit stones to someone he had just met a few days ago?
“Haha, a qualified Artifact Refiner should at least collect the five most basic types of spiritual fire with different attributes, so they can deal with various situations. ”
At that moment, another ball of spiritual fire ignited. It was a black flame.
He actually had two balls of spiritual fire.
“This ball of spiritual fire is called Black Crystal Spiritual Fire, which is mainly water-based. It usually only exists in the seabed of the Endless Sea. It’s very easy to produce top-quality artifacts when refining water, gold, and ice attribute treasures with it,” Senior Brother Sha said with a hint of pride in his voice.
Looking at the ball of black flame, Xu Fan thought to himself that he would have to spend a lot of Krypton Gold on this in the future.
Three hours later, all the materials had been refined, and Xu Fan began to refine the magical treasure according to his plan.
As soon as the artifact took shape, Xu Fan quickly engraved the rune array.
An hour later, a large net that could withstand the bite of a Nascent Soul period monster was formed, and Xu Fan also refined a storage bag for it on the side.
“Junior Brother Xu, your skill in engraving rune arrays is so high. Now I know what my master meant by the demeanor of a grandmaster,” Senior Brother Sha said, looking at the newly-refined treasure artifact.
“Senior Brother Sha, you’re too kind.”
On the third day, Stupid Sculpture Refining Workshop received a lot of strange orders.
Ship Artifacts, fishing rod artifacts, sea palaces, and most of all, fishing net artifacts.
With these artifacts delivered to their respective owners, the reputation of Stupid Sculpture Refining Workshop became more and more resounding in Town Sea City.
It wasn’t until half a month later that Xu Fan stopped his partner, Senior Brother Sha, from accepting more orders.
“Senior Brother Sha, we can’t just stay in Town Sea City refining artifacts all month. It’s not often that I get to go out on a long journey, I need to see more,” said Xu Fan. He liked refining artifacts, but not just for other people all the time.
“Actually, I don’t think it’s that bad. You go out and have a look, Junior Brother Xu. I’ll continue here.”
“I almost forgot, it’s Junior Brother Xu’s first time in the Endless Sea, so he should go and take a look,” said Senior Brother Sha, nodding.
“Take care, Senior Brother Sha.”
Xu Fan, with the over 100,000 spirit stones he’d earned from refining, headed towards the outer part of Town Sea City.
Outside the city gate of Town Sea City was a seaport dock. Many cultivators who had just returned from their journeys set up stalls, selling spirit ores, spirit medicines, and other specialties found in the Endless Sea.
Xu Fan stopped in front of a stall, staring at a Linglong Pearl the size of a basketball for a long time.
“Young man, I see you’ve been looking at this for a while. I won’t ask for too much, just give me 100 ,ooo spirit stones for this Linglong Pearl,” said the stall owner, who happened to be a God Transformation Stage Patrol Captain who might be on vacation.
“Sorry for the disturbance,” said Xu Fan, turning around to leave. Before he got far, he heard the stall owner call out, “Kid, come back!”
“If you’re serious, feel free to make a counteroffer. It’s fine, be bold.”
“Whether we agree or not is a separate matter.” Xu Fan pondered and then tentatively said,
“20,000 Spirit Stones?”
“Alright, deal.”
Xu Fan looked at the Linglong Pearl in his hand, suddenly feeling like he had been fooled.
After completing the transaction, Xu Fan saw the stall owner take out another one, and he became more convinced of this thought.
After purchasing the pearl, Xu Fan directly drove his Lingfeng Boat towards the distant sea.
All Nascent Soul Period monsters and above within a 10 ,ooo-kilometer radius of Zhenhai City had been driven out of this ocean territory.
Now, although Xu Fan, who had reached the Qi Cultivation Peak, couldn’t contend with Nascent Soul Period monsters, escaping wasn’t a problem.
After leaving Zhenhai City and going a thousand miles away, the number of monsters in the sea gradually increased, most of them Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Period monsters.
Xu Fan found a relatively calm sea surface, detected it, and released a submarine-like underwater Artifact.
This underwater Artifact was specifically crafted by Xu Fan, thinking of the chance to search for treasure at the bottom of the sea, which had been his childhood wish.
Entering the submarine, Xu Fan closed the door. As the runes on the surface of the submarine operated, the entire Artifact merged with the sea and disappeared.
Now, at noon, Xu Fan, who had already dived dozens of meters, could still see everything below the sea surface through sunlight.
“In my past life, going on a sightseeing submarine like this would have cost me tens of thousands.” Xu Fan looked at the magnificent underwater scenery and said.
As the submarine moved downward, there were fewer fish and monsters around, with only some Golden Core Period monsters roaming the seabed.
Most of the runes in the submarine crafted by Xu Fan were dedicated to concealment. Ordinary Nascent Soul Period monsters couldn’t detect it. This was Xu Fan’s confidence to go out alone.
Half an hour later, Xu Fan finally reached the seabed. According to his estimate, he was now at least 50,000 meters deep, and the immense water pressure forced him to increase his spiritual power to maintain the Artifact’s operation.
“Haha, now is treasure hunting time!” Xu Fan revealed an excited smile. He had always been interested in underwater treasure hunting videos in his past life, but he had just been an ordinary otaku. His entire wealth was not enough to buy a set of decent diving equipment.
Looking at the dark and pitch-black seabed, Xu Fan wished he could light up the entire seabed with a few thousand watts of light, but it was not possible.
“Fortunately, I came prepared. If the Artifact’s function is not enough, there are my trinkets.”
Xu Fan took out the prepared Artifact trinkets.
“This is the Spiritual Power Detection Module, and this is the Life Detection
Module.”
Xu Fan took out another bead and placed it in the pre-arranged area. “This is the Light and Shadow Imaging Night Vision Module.”
As Xu Fan placed it, the pitch-black darkness outside was instantly illuminated. Then, Xu Fan saw a Golden Core Period electric eel not far away and was almost startled.
“Haha, the feeling of turning on the lights is just great.”
Xu Fan maneuvered the submarine carefully and circumvented the Golden Core Period electric eel, beginning his underwater treasure hunt.
At this moment, not far from Xu Fan’s location at the bottom of the sea, Ye Xiaoyao was evading the pursuit of a Nascent Soul Period Peak monster..
