After Xu Yuexian left, Xu Fan looked at the mobile-phone-like artifact in his hand.
Its functions are simple, one is news and anecdotes, and the other is advertisements.
“Interesting, interesting.”
“This amount of information transport is the work of a Refining
Grandmaster.’
Xu Fan saw that the information volume on the light and shadow screen was about to break through 2M, which ordinary Artifact Refiners couldn’t make.
At this time, a piece of news caught Xu Fan’s attention.
The article said that to guard against the Demon Clan within the Ancient
Demonic Forbidden Land, all large camps must now be transformed into Immortal Cities, permanently stationed here, and then explained why this was necessary.
Originally, the Ancient Demonic Forbidden Land was actually the resting place for ancient gigantic demons. If there were no external Great Demons, it would continue to sleep.
But if awakened and unsealed, it would be a disaster for the entire Xiangzhou. The Demon Clan just happened to be the clan that sealed the ancient gigantic demons in ancient times. As long as they reached the Demon Venerable level, they would know how to unseal them. This was also the reason why the Human Clan did not dare to touch them.
“No wonder we’re so committed to the contract. So that’s how it is.’
“Ancient Giant Demons, I wonder what they look like.” Xu Fan said.
After a while, a Qi Refining Cultivator with a box came to Xu Fan’s small shop.
“Shopkeeper, is it you who bought the jewelry from Yanhong Chamber of Commerce?” the Qi Refining Cultivator asked.
Xu Fan nodded.
“Six jewelry artifacts, a total of 20,000 spirit stones, please check.” As the box was opened, six beautifully crafted pieces of jewelry appeared before Xu Fan.
Xu Fan nodded and handed two bags of Spirit Stones to the Artifact Refiner.
“Fortunately, I earned some Spirit Stones selling spiritual pills during this time, otherwise, I would really be heartbroken.”
At this moment, Xu Yuexian walked in with a pink mobile-phone-shaped artifact.
“Master, look, this artifact costs only 5 spirit stones, and it has an additional illumination function compared to yours.”
As Xu Yuexian spoke, she turned on the illumination function of the artifact, and a strong light suddenly shot into Xu Fan’s eyes.
“Ah~my eyes!’
Xu Fan was caught off guard and almost blinded.
“You unruly disciple, I’ll punish you according to the Sect rules.”
From then on, there was one more rule in Xu Fan’s teachings: Do not shine strong light in the Master’s eyes.
Five months later, Xu Fan took his two disciples and boarded the Heavenly Gate Warship to return. It was said that the batch of warships needed to go back for maintenance.
“Time flies, it’s been half a year in a blink of an eye.”
When he returned to his mountain peak at the Heavenly Gate, Xu Fan sat back in his previous position.
At this time, the familiar fluctuations came again, the whole Outer Sect was scanned again, and those who had just returned were given special attention.
“Enough already, it never ends. Every single day.” Xu Fan complained.
He was sure that someone must have a personal quirk. No Great Power would do this every few days.
After complaining, Xu Fan looked at the two children in front of him. Yes, they were chubby and well-nourished.
“Xiangchi, you should slow down your cultivation speed a bit and stay in the Qi Cultivation stage for at least 20 years.”
“A solid foundation is essential for achieving immortality in the future.” Xu Fan said to the mischievous kid, who had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage without his supervision.
“Yes, Master.” Wang Xiangchi’s little face remained cold, but he listened to Xu Fan very well.
“And you, Little Xingci, don’t learn from your senior brother and second senior sister. They’re only a few years older than you and already reached
Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“They must have neglected their foundations. Don’t learn from them.” Xu Fan told his youngest disciple. He found that blindly pursuing level advancements wasn’t the best choice and should focus on holistic development.
“Yes, Master.” Li Xingci said.
“Alright, you can all go back to your homework now.” Xu Fan waved his hand.
In the cultivation room, Xu Fan looked at the 20 million Spirit Stones in his
Space Ring with a slightly flushed face, which were dividends given by Pang Fu.
He had never been so wealthy before. Gazing at the 20 million Spirit Stones, Xu Fan decided to take a big risk.
“10 million, use them to buy time-attribute runes, and the rest to strengthen the Puppet Heart.”
During his time at the Forbidden Area Defense Line, Xu Fan focused mainly on adjusting the Puppet Heart. The Puppet Heart was like a blank computer, and Xu Fan added various command programs to it, forming its system.
The intelligence of the Puppet Heart had reached the level of a teenager, but that wasn’t enough for Xu Fan. His goal was for the Puppet Heart to be able to control a puppet and refine it into another puppet.
At this moment, Xu Fan picked up the Rune Iron Plate that Wang Yulun had given him before.
After breaking the seals several times, the iron plate now completely recognized him as its master. However, he didn’t expect there would be more tests in the coming days, which were now his primary tasks.
Xu Fan had obtained more than 300 runes from the iron plate. Combined with the ones he already had, he now controlled exactly 1,000 runes, meeting the basic requirement to become a Refining Grandmaster.
After obtaining the runes, the iron plate presented a new test for Xu Fan:
refining the specified magical treasures, starting from the lowest level of Artifact.
Xu Fan easily completed the 36 Artifact tasks, obtaining 50 more runes along with a refining experience written by a Refining Grandmaster, which helped him a lot in the Refining Path. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have added a magical treasure Divine Ability to the heavy armor Treasure Artifact so effortlessly.
Now, Xu Fan’s test was stuck at the fourth level—to refine five specific fourth-grade Treasure Artifacts.
It wasn’t that Xu Fan couldn’t refine them, but that he couldn’t obtain a required spiritual ore for the third Artifact. He had been searching for it for more than five years now.
“Can’t you change the Artifact? It’s impossible to refine without a Heavenly Star Pearl.’
Xu Fan had also learned about the origin of the Heavenly Star Pearl, which was why he felt a bit disappointed.
The Heavenly Star Pearl only existed in the Vast Void Domain and was formed in the body of a void shellfish demonic beast. It wasn’t very valuable but extremely rare. Its only use was to protect the wearer for a short time in the Vast Void Domain.
Those who were capable didn’t need it, while those who lacked Dower couldn’t make use of it.
Because of this functionality, it could hardly be found in areas other than the Central Continent.
At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. It had been almost a year since he last milked Wang Yulun. He wondered if he could score a critical hit this time.
Xu Fan hurriedly used a specific communication artifact to inform Wang Yulun, knowing that he had been on sect missions recently and rarely went out.
In no time, Wang Yulun arrived riding an Immortal Crane.
“Is this the same Immortal Crane you and your wife brought when you first came to see me?” Xu Fan asked doubtfully. It had been so many years, and they still hadn’t stewed it.
“Yes, after Qian’er and I advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, this
Immortal Crane couldn’t keep up with our speed, so we left it at Beast Controlling Peak for training. Now, the Immortal Crane is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage too, so I brought it here to keep Chi l er and Xingci company.”
For some reason, Xu Fan suddenly didn’t want to talk to Wang Yulun
anymore..
