27 Chapter 27: Devouring Spirit Bee King Honey

Translator: 549690339

At this moment, Wang Yulun was in despair, as Xu Fan, the great benefactor who had saved him twice, had already finished three tables of dishes.

“Brother Xu, I didn’t bring many spirit stones with me. Can we do this another time?” Wang Yulun whispered to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun and laughed, “Feeling the pinch, eh? We’re just getting started.”

Under the effect of the Satiety Skill, all the spirit food turned into the purest spiritual qi, gradually strengthening Xu Fan’s constitution.

A sense of satisfaction and happiness emerged.

Could this skill affect the caster’s emotions as well?

At this moment, Xu Fan finally finished the last dish and stopped ordering more.

“How many pounds of Soul Eater Bee Honey did you get, enough to please your mother-in-law?” Xu Fan asked while interrupting the conversation.

“About 10 pounds, I guess it should be enough,” Wang Yulun replied. Actually, he was not sure either, as the Soul Eater Bee Honey was rare, but it was not the only thing that could cure hidden injuries.

“Alright, let me know if you need anything. I might be able to help you out.”

After bidding farewell to the two, Xu Fan headed straight to a chamber of commerce that specialized in buying Heaven and Earth Treasures.

As soon as he entered, Xu Fan was warmly welcomed.

“Fellow, please follow me to the VIP room first. Later, I will arrange for the Chamber of Commerce’s treasure appraisers to serve you,” said a cultivator who looked like a high-ranking executive of the Qi Refining division.

“Alright.”

Xu Fan looked at the bustling Wanbao Building and heard that the chambers of commerce were always busiest after the Secret Realm opened, as countless rare Heaven and Earth Treasures were bought by them.

After each Secret Realm, there would always be rumors of someone getting great opportunities or acquiring amazing magical treasures.

In the VIP room, a slim and beautiful young girl approached Xu Fan after he had just finished a cup of tea.

“Greetings, fellow. I am Wan Ling’er, a treasure appraiser from Wanbao Building.”

“Fellow, if you want to sell any treasures, our building will definitely give you a reasonable price.” The girl spoke softly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xu Fan, wondering if she could attract a big client this time.

He placed a small spatial artifact bottle specially designed for liquid on the table, containing 100 pounds of Devouring Spirit Bee King Honey.

Xu Fan made a welcoming gesture.

Wan Ling’er directly picked up the small bottle, opened the restriction, and sniffed it gently with her small nose.

An astonishing spiritual power mixed with the sweetness of honey rushed into her mind, just from smelling it, it felt like eating a miraculous elixir.

“Did the fellow just come out of the Secret Realm?” Wan Ling’er said as she began to detect the amount of honey in the artifact bottle.

“Just came out, wanted to deal with the stuff in my hands,” Xu Fan said. He had also obtained many spiritual medicines and ores in the Secret Realm, but since he could refine pills and artifacts himself, there was no need to sell them.

Wan Ling’er took a small amount of honey and tasted it carefully.

“Fellow, the quality of this batch of Soul Eater Bee Honey is quite good, I’ll offer you 2500 Spirit Stones per pound, how about that?” Wan Ling’er quoted a price slightly lower than Xu Fan’s expectation.

“Miss, you may find a more experienced treasure appraiser, I believe he would give me an accurate number,” Xu Fan said indifferently, not believing that the Devouring Spirit Bee King Honey was worth this price.

Wan Ling’er’s eyebrows furrowed, as if accusing her of being unskilled.

“Fellow, please wait a moment.”

Wan Ling’er left the VIP room, feeling a bit disheartened. It was her first time working as a treasure appraiser, and she was off to a bad start. She didn’t know how her sister, who had opposed her since childhood, would ridicule her when she returned.

Xu Fan continued to taste tea, wondering if he should plant a few tea trees after returning, as his future days were still long.

A gray-haired elder entered Xu Fan’s VIP room, with a Golden Core cultivation.

“Senior, hello,” Xu Fan immediately stood up and said.

“You are a guest, so there’s no need to be so restrained,” the elder said with a smile, gesturing for Xu Fan to sit down before picking up the small artifact bottle from the table.

“How about 3,200 Spirit Stones for one jin of Soul Eater Bee King Honey?” The old man said with slight surprise, as his Chamber of Commerce hadn’t received Bee King Honey for a long time.

“Let’s go with what the senior said,” Xu Fan nodded and agreed, which was 200 Spirit Stones higher than his own estimate.

When Xu Fan received the Spirit Stones, his heart beat a little faster, feeling as unreal as winning the lottery.

In the Wanbao Building,

“I didn’t expect that my first shot would fail. I don’t know how I will be laughed at when I go back,” Wan Ling’er said, feeling discouraged. She was a bit resentful of Xu Fan for not letting her win.

“Learn from a mistake and grow wiser. Your journey is still long.”

“Being a Treasure Appraiser is just a side business for you. Proper cultivation is the real priority,” said the gray-haired elder to Wan Ling’er. Why would the daughter of Wanbao Building’s owner be a treasure appraiser forever?

“Yes,” Wan Ling’er nodded humbly.

On the other side, Xu Fan, who had received the Spirit Stones, did not squander them lavishly. Instead, he silently returned to his mountain peak and began counting his gains.

“The acquired spiritual medicine can make several batches of elixirs without any problem.”

“These spiritual mines can be used to refine a few artifacts.”

After Xu Fan finished counting all the gains, he wanted to digest the pill formulas and Technique Jade Slips obtained from the Secret Realm during closed-door cultivation.

A time of reflection later, Xu Fan’s finger gently pointed towards mid-air, and a paper crane with azure light appeared, spreading its wings and flying towards the alliance base.

In no time, Pang Fu took the Spirit Stones and a list and flew out of Xu Fan’s little hill.

The next day, Xu Fan looked at the five top-level Storage Bags in front of him with a bitter smile, saying, “It seems that 300,000 Spirit Stones are not enough to spend.”

With the Spirit Stones, Xu Fan swept through all the Refining Tool Runes in the Scripture Pavilion.

Then he went on a major shopping spree for Alchemy spiritual medicine and spiritual mine materials.

This time, Xu Fan initiated his alchemy and artifact refining plan, aiming to become a master of both pills and artifacts. As for his cultivation level, he would let fate decide, after all, he could still break through on the last day.

Spring goes, autumn comes, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In an Intermediate Artifact Refining Room of Earth Heart Square, Xu Fan looked at the combined artifact in front of him, lost in thought.

“The Spirit Control and Parent-Child Runes seem to be somewhat incompatible. Is it the mismatch of the intermediate runes?” Xu Fan said while touching his chin.

In mid-air, a seemingly broken flying sword was undergoing its final fusion. The runes that had been matched well at the beginning started to show rejection during the final fusion stage.

The unformed artifact was immediately controlled in mid-air by Xu Fan’s strong spiritual power, as if it was frozen still just before fusing.

“That’s right, if they are not compatible, then directly use the enhanced version of Parent-Child Runes and replace the Spirit Control Runes with Spider Silk Runes.”

As he spoke, Xu Fan’s eyes lit up. He immediately pulled out the Rune Brush and began to draw in the air. In an instant, 99 runes appeared in the air in a mysterious rule, starting to fuse with the artifact in mid-air.

Looking at the successful artifact, Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. This self-created artifact named Thousand Blades had finally succeeded after six attempts.
