After Ye Xiaoyao left, Xu Fan thought about Wang Yulun, who had exposed his identity as an Artifact Refiner, and felt slightly annoyed. He had already refined six Treasure Artifact-tier flying swords for Ye Xiaoyao, three of which were practically free. And now, they still weren’t enough.

Xu Fan felt that this guy really devoured flying swords.

“Ah, there are always waves in a calm life. Is it bad to be quiet and peaceful?”

“Also, Moon Immortal, don’t turn into such an ugly stone next time. It’s easy to break character,” Xu Fan said indifferently. As this girl’s concealment technique became more and more perfect, he found it increasingly difficult to spot Xu Yuexian.

A figure appeared beside Xu Fan, holding a small notebook.

It read: “Discovered for the 249th time. The reason : the transformation object is too ugly.”

Xu Fan felt a bit emotional watching Xu Yuexian take notes, as the reason for this little girl’s rapid progress wasn’t unfounded.

“Master, was it really because I transformed into an ugly stone that you found me?” Xu Yuexian handed a cup of brewed tea to Xu Fan.

“Of course not, there are other reasons. By the time I can’t find you, you will know.”

“Now just keep practicing.”

Xu Fan took a leisurely sip of tea and looked at the returning Xu Yuexian, asking, “What did you gain from this mission?”

Ever since Xu Yuexian joined the Treasure Pavilion, she would always bring back some strange and curious things after each mission, adding fun to Xu Fan’s peaceful life.

A thunderstruck willow appeared in front of Xu Fan.

“I just discovered it yesterday. In order to get this willow, I almost lost all my artifacts,” Xu Yuexian said.

Xu Fan ignored Xu Yuexian and picked up the thunderstruck willow, carefully observing it.

“Perfect, it’s truly perfect!” Xu Fan said excitedly. He found the purest and most profound Thunder Glyph in the depths of the thunderstruck wood.

A dazzling thunderbolt was absorbed by Xu Fan into his body, and the Thunder Glyph contained within it was integrated into Xu Fan’s spiritual space.

After comprehending the Thunder Glyph, Xu Fan smashed the thunderstruck willow and condensed the green light within.

Xu Fan took out a few spiritual medicines, extracted their essence, and fused them with the green light. He placed the resulting spiritual pill in a jade bottle and handed it to Xu Yuexian.

“This spiritual pill contains the purest life force, and I’ve solidified its structure. In a dangerous situation, just take one and you’ll be fully revived,” he said.

“Thank you, Master,” Xu Yuexian said gratefully. It never hurt to have more life-saving items on hand.

“I benefit too. This time, you made the first contribution,” Xu Fan said with a smile. The recently acquired Thunder Glyph was his greatest harvest of late.

With this Thunder Glyph, he could refine many interesting items.

“By the way, what has your brother been doing lately?” Xu Fan asked, noticing that the brat hadn’t been home for a while.

“My brother has been doing missions with Uncle Master Wang recently. Uncle Master Wang is now his team leader,” Xu Yuexian replied.

“I see,” Xu Fan said.

Wang Yulun was now an Inner Sect disciple of Heavenly Gate. He had successfully reached the Second-Stage Foundation Establishment six months ago. This accomplishment made Xu Fan feel a bit disappointed in Wang Yulun. Back then, Xu Fan had exerted great effort but fell short due to insufficient foundation.

“By the way, when you see your brother, tell him not to focus solely on cultivation. Sometimes going too fast isn’t a good thing. Just look at your Uncle Master Wang. After all his efforts, he’s only a Second-stage Foundation Establishment. It’s going to take quite some time for him to ascend to the upper realm,” Xu Fan said, shaking his head.

He had raised his two disciples with the goal of cultivating them into immortals. Their cultivation techniques and magical treasures were all top-notch.

It wouldn’t be enough to just protect himself in this world. Once they entered the Great Thousand World, they needed to keep going.

“I understand, Master,” Xu Yuexian nodded, secretly lamenting how lucky she and her brother were to have found such a good master.

“You go do your thing, I’m going to refine some stuff,” Xu Fan got up and walked towards the refining room. Now that he had the Thunder Glyph, he couldn’t help but itch to practice with it.

“Then, Master, I’ll prepare dinner for you,” Xu Yuexian said.

“I’m not hungry, just make your own,” Xu Fan replied casually.

Moving to the refining room, Xu Fan took out several pieces of refined Black Iron, unsealed the Spirit Fire Furnace, and began refining artifacts.

“Let’s start by forging the long spear.”

The black iron softened under the influence of the spiritual fire, and Xu Fan directly used the shaping technique to divide it into three long spears and three iron wires, several meters long.

When the spiritual fire went out, Xu Fan directly started inscribing runes with his hands.

“Magnetic runes, electrical runes, thunder runes, breaking armor, solid, silencing…”

As Xu Fan inscribed them, the three artifacts slowly took shape.

The long spear was wrapped in a black iron wire from the spear tip to the tail, according to Xu Fan’s idea, the hardness of the spear would last for only one use.

“Later, I will let Xu Gang and Yuexian go out and test the power of the artifacts,” Xu Fan looked at the already formed artifact long spear and said. “As for the name, let’s call it Electromagnetic No.l.”

In the evening, Xu Gang stepped into the small hill on his meal break.

“Master, I’m back,” Xu Gang shouted as soon as he entered, followed by an awkward-looking Wang Yulun.

“Okay, you’re back, just don’t make a fuss,” Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun behind Xu Gang and said that the kid still dared to come.

“Brother Xu, I’m here,” Wang Yulun’s expression was a bit unnatural. Since he accidentally revealed Xu Fan’s identity as an artifact refiner to Ye Xiaoyao, he hadn’t dared to look for Xu Fan since then.

“Yo! Isn’t this the Foundation Establishment Stage senior? What brings you to my humble abode,” Xu Fan spoke at a calm pace, this kid is getting bold and dares to dig a hole for him.

“No, no, no, Brother Xu, don’t be like this, I’m scared,”

Wang Yulun hastily took out the prepared gift.

“Brother Xu, I found this unknown spirit ore in a Monster Beast’s Den, so I specially brought it to you for your appreciation,” Wang Yulun put a basketball-sized black spirit ore in front of Xu Fan very obsequiously.

This is the apology method that Xu Gang told him about. He said that his master likes strange and curious things. If he couldn’t find them, he could buy some valuable spiritual ore as a gift.

Xu Fan, who was originally going to get angry, looked at the black spirit ore in front of him. His expression gradually eased, and he carefully observed and identified the ore.

Half an hour later, Xu Fan finally raised his head, let out a long breath, suppressed his excitement, and said to Wang Yulun, “Not bad, you have compensated for it. The matter of exposing my identity is settled.” Wang Yulun, hearing this, immediately beamed with joy. He really didn’t dare to offend Xu Fan, this great god, and not only did he not dare to offend him, but he also had to serve him well.

After all, he would need Xu Fan’s help in many things in the future.

“Yuexian, Wang Martial Uncle is here, make a few more dishes and bring out the spirit wine I’ve treasured for many years,” Xu Fan said to the kitchen.

“Received, ” Xu Yuexian’s crisp voice came back.

“Master, I’ll go help little sister cook,” Xu Gang said, running to the kitchen.

Wang Yulun, looking at the suppressed smile on Xu Fan’s face, curiously asked, “Brother Xu, what kind of spirit ore is this that makes you so happy?

“This is a very niche spirit ore. It’s not very useful for ordinary artifact refiners, but it is of great use to me.”

“This spirit ore is called Spirit Heart Ore and is very rare in the Cultivation World. The only use of this spirit ore is that it can preserve divine sense and intention for a long time. Most importantly, it can be fused with any magical treasure.”

“If you fuse this Spirit Heart Ore into a puppet, then…”

“Forget it, there’s no point in telling you all this. Just know that this thing is useful to me,

As Xu Fan looked at Wang Yulun’s bewildered face, he instantly lost the desire to explain further.

“Later, I’ll give you a list, and you can purchase the items accordingly. I’ll reforge a Treasure Artifact-level spirit power armor for you.”

“Really? Thank you, Brother Xu,” Wang Yulun said excitedly. Since he advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the effect of the spirit power armor has become much weaker, and now it can only amplify half of its power.

He originally wanted to ask Xu Fan for a Treasure Artifact-level spirit power armor, and Xu Fan had promised him before. He just didn’t expect to offend Xu Fan at this point.

“I still don’t know your little schemes. Don’t worry, I won’t break my promise, ” Xu Fan said with a smile, thinking to himself that unless you offend me..
