Wang Yulun left with the Inventory Jade Slip, feeling excited.
Xu Fan looked at the swaying figure in the sky and said, “That should be considered drunk driving, right?”
Back in the room, Xu Yuexian had already prepared the foot bath water.
“Yuexian, we’re cultivators now, foot baths are not that useful anymore,” Xu Fan said, looking at the footbath water.
“This time is different – I added many spiritual medicines to it.”
“Master, soaking your feet has benefits for the whole body’s meridians,” said Xu Yuexian with a smile.
“I appreciate the thought.”
The next day, before the siblings went on their mission, Xu Fan gave each of them an Electromagnetic No.l Spear, telling them to find an opportunity to test its power.
After Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian left, Xu Fan took out the Spirit Heart Ore from yesterday and a Golden Core Stage giant snake puppet, and began to contemplate how to work on this Golden Core stage puppet.
Xu Fan had always been dissatisfied with the puppets he refined, always feeling that they were stiff and sluggish in operation. Although they possessed strength, they were absolutely terrible in terms of combat consciousness, even with the addition of Soul Iron.
“I suddenly feel a bit reluctant to use it. How am I going to find such precious Spirit Heart Ore in the future if I need it? After all, puppets are consumables when it comes to crucial moments,” Xu Fan habitually stroked his chin.
“Maybe I should save it for later when I have even more powerful puppets.”
At this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Xu Fan’s mind, it was the light of wisdom.
“How silly of me, why didn’t I think of making a puppet to operate other puppets?” Xu Fan had a look of sudden enlightenment.
After obtaining a large piece of Soul Iron from Wang Yulun’s hands, Xu Fan had such an idea, but later discovered the Soul Iron was far from meeting his requirements – by the standards of his past life, its operational memory was insufficient.
“I’m such a genius,” Xu Fan gave himself a rather objective evaluation.
He immediately cut a small piece of the Spirit Heart Ore and began to experiment.
Xu Fan took out a Foundation Establishment Stage Vigorous Ape Puppet. The Vigorous Ape Puppet stood four meters tall, with its muscular arms and chest making it look quite majestic. It was skilled in battle, using clubs and boulders to attack enemies. Here, Xu Fan provided each Vigorous Ape Puppet with Artifact Heavy Armor and a Wolf Tooth Club, making them look exceptionally brutal. The Vigorous Ape Puppet was the main offensive and defensive force in Xu Fan’s Puppet Army.
Xu Fan held the small piece of Spirit Heart Ore, and began to input his own combat experience into it, then directly melted it into the Vigorous Ape’s Spiritual Core.
The moment the Spirit Heart Ore was integrated into the Vigorous Ape Puppet, it stretched lazily, as if waking up from a deep slumber.
Xu Fan then made a Wolf-shaped Foundation Establishment Puppet in the same manner.
“Let’s begin, you two fight each other, let me see how effective you are,” Xu Fan issued an attack command to the two puppets and specifically cleared an area for them.
What happened next left Xu Fan somewhat astonished – the two puppets actually confronted each other, both looking for weaknesses in their opponent.
As a shadow flashed by, the wolf-shaped Puppet initiated the attack.
Xu Fan enjoyed a classic human-animal fight. In the end, the Vigorous Ape wearing heavy armor and wielding a Wolf Tooth Club won.
“Just a small piece of Spirit Heart Ore can bring out 50% of my combat strength in these puppets.”
“That’s more than enough,” Xu Fan said, looking at the large piece of Spirit Heart Ore. However, another problem arose: whether to refine the Spirit Heart Ore into puppets or magical treasures capable of controlling puppets.
According to Xu Fan’s plan, to complete the central control puppet he envisioned, it would cost at least half of the Spirit Heart Ore, and he was somewhat reluctant.
While Xu Fan was struggling over his decision, the Forbidden Bell Sound rang out and Wang Yulun walked in with a smile.
“Did you get all the materials together?” Xu Fan asked. Since the last Fox Demon possession incident, Wang Yulun had been on a lengthy pursuit of his wife, and the financial power of the family had been in Murong Qian’er’s hands.
“Yes, Qian’er gave me the Spirit Stones. She seems to be close to forgiving me,” Wang Yulun said with a smile. After a year of hard work, he was finally close to winning Murong Qian’er’s forgiveness – perhaps he would be allowed to sleep in their room tonight.
“Don’t celebrate too soon. If I remember correctly, twenty thousand kilometers north of our Heavenly Gate, is the territory of the Hundred Flower Sect,” Xu Fan revealed a sly grin.
“What do you mean, Brother Xu?” asked Wang Yulun, puzzled.
“It’s said that the female disciples of the Hundred Flower Sect are particularly fond of handsome disciples from prestigious sects. When they see someone they like, they’ll do whatever they can to get him into bed, regardless of whether he’s married or not,” Xu Fan continued.
“I know all of that already. Some time ago a Celestial Favorite from our Heavenly Gate Sect fell for their tricks and still hasn’t come back. Rumor has it that our Inner Sect Elder personally went to the Hundred Flower Sect to seek justice.”
“It’s said that he almost couldn’t come back either, ” Wang Yulun added gossipingly.
“You still don’t understand what I mean, so let me be blunt, don’t go there recently. ”
“If you really have to go, remember to protect yourself.” Xu Fan said and gave Wang Yulun a knowing look that any man would understand.
“I got it.” Wang Yulun dismissed Xu Fan’s words, thinking it couldn’t be such a coincidence.
“Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say. You can come to pick up your Spirit Power Armor a month later.” Xu Fan took the storage bag handed over by Wang Yulun and waved his hand, signaling Wang Yulun to tend to his own affairs.
Upon returning to the Inner Sect, Wang Yulun received a message from his Master and hurried over.
Arriving in front of a cave mansion with an immortal aura, Wang Yulun strode in.
“Greetings, Master.” Wang Yulun respectfully said to the white-robed middle-aged man who was watering the flowers.
“You’re here, there’s something I need you to do recently.”
“In a month and a half, our sect will hold an exchange meeting with the Hundred Flower Sect, located at the Hundred Flower Sect.”
“As the outstanding disciple of our sect’s Foundation Establishment Stage, I recommend you to go.” The white-robed man said indifferently, he was very satisfied with this, his youngest disciple.
At this point, Wang Yulun remembered Xu Fan’s words, and hesitated.
“If you have anything to say, just say it. If you perform well this time, the Sect Leader will personally reward you, ”
“Master, can I not go?” Wang Yulun said, now firmly believing in Xu Fan’s words.
“No, you must go. You are the only disciple that I, as your teacher, can be proud of. Do you want to completely lose face for your teacher?” The white-robed man said sternly.
“Master, I have a family, would it be a little dangerous for me to go there?” Wang Yulun tentatively said.
At this point, the white-robed man looked closely at Wang Yulun and nodded,
“You do look a bit at risk in this state.”
“No problem, before you leave, I’ll apply a Disguise Illusion Technique on you to make you look uglier.” The white-robed man thought he had come up with an ingenious solution.
Wang Yulun thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he agreed.
At this time, Xu Fan was looking at Ye Xiaoyao with annoyance.
“Brother Ye, I’ve already got the cost of the artifact refining materials down to the lowest, if it goes any lower, it will only be enough for refining artifacts.” Xu Fan said to Ye Xiaoyao with annoyance.
“Junior Brother Xu, can you think of a way? These materials altogether are worth 1 million Spirit Stones.” Ye Xiaoyao said. Although he had been prepared, the value of these materials was much higher than his expectations after seeing the list.
He had never seen such a poor protagonist before; where were his fortuitous encounters and opportunities?
“Brother Ye, have you not saved up any family assets in your years at Ten Thousand Sword Peak?” Xu Fan asked curiously. Logically, a Golden Core Stage cultivator shouldn’t be this poor.
Ye Xiaoyao was a little depressed. He actually earned Spirit Stones quite quickly, but it wasn’t enough to cover the large amount of resources Old Jian needed to recover. He also had six main swords and twelve auxiliary swords that needed upgrading; these were like bottomless pits, draining his Spirit Stones.
“I’m really impoverished.” Ye Xiaoyao was also reflecting on whether he was too poor.
Xu Fan sighed and said, “Brother Ye, if you’re not busy, it wouldn’t hurt to go out more, maybe you’ll run into a fortuitous encounter.”
At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao thought about the Nascent Soul old silver coin who attacked him, and clenched his teeth: “Little Fan, give me three days.”
After saying this, he resolutely left.
“Has he come to terms with it and decided to bow to life?” Xu Fan looked in the direction of Ye Xiaoyao’s departure.
In the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Ye Xiaoyao was heartbroken as he pawned some of his treasures that he could use or not use.
“It’s so embarrassing, don’t tell anyone in Sky Rainbow World that you’re the disciple of Heavenly Sword Immortal Emperor.”
“Pawn your treasures when you’re poor, really………”
“Speak one more word, and I will cut off all your resources.” Ye Xiaoyao said angrily in his heart.
“If it weren’t for being forced to learn Sword Formation Dao, would I be this poor!”
