“Brother Ye, three months later, come retrieve your flying sword and mining puppet, along with this magical treasure,” Xu Fan said.
“Okay, during this period, I will scout the area first, so it’ll be more convenient for our future activities,” Ye Xiaoyao nodded and said. Seeing Xu Fan put so much effort into it, he dropped his concerns about Xu Fan not wanting to leave the Sect.
After chatting with Xu Fan for a while, Ye Xiaoyao got up and took his leave.
Watching the direction in which Ye Xiaoyao left, Xu Fan muttered, “Seems like the old grandpa inside you is a bit cunning.”
While Ye Xiaoyao was chatting with Xu Fan, his hints at Xu Fan to bring out treasures were quite rigid, and there were frequent awkward expressions on his face.
“There are some things, one must always be cautious about,” Xu Fan said to himself.
“Also, the thing about you scheming against me, I remember it all.” Now Xu Fan could confirm that the spirit jade in the jar was swapped out by the old silver coin inside Ye Xiaoyao.
Xu Fan turned around and took the materials given by Ye Xiaoyao to the refining room.
Two months later, Xu Fan had finished refining the remaining flying swords and mining puppets.
“Senior Brother Ye, these are the remaining flying swords and mining puppets you asked for.” Xu Fan took out a storage bag, then solemnly took out a set of treasure artifact level spirit power armor and handed it to Ye Xiaoyao, also providing the jade slip with the usage instructions for the mining puppet and spirit power armor.
“Brother Ye, it’s best if you familiarize yourself with the spirit power armor before you leave. This will facilitate your operations,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Okay, just wait for me to bring you good news,” Ye Xiaoyao said excitedly. As long as he accomplishes this task, he could refine more treasure flying swords.
“Then, I wish Brother Ye a triumphant success,” Xu Fan wished him graciously.
However, in his heart, he was pondering that he should change his way of getting along with Zhu Jiao.
This was a question that Xu Fan started to ponder only after suffering a few blows: would danger not befall me if I stay away from him?
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoyao, who had left, was arguing with Old Jian.
“Kid, a brother is used to be trapped. Your brother is a very suitable target, and he is also näIVe, trusting you one hundred percent,” Old Jian said proudly, “In the past, when you were weak and poor, you indeed had to rely on your brother to stand up for you.”
“When your level of cultivation improves in the future, just let this brother of yours take small advantages from time to time, then find a way to trick him into a big one. That’s how you can last long,” Old Jian said with satisfaction. How did he, a cultivator from a small clan, make it to the last step if not for the help of many brothers?
“People are not fools. They will notice what you’re doing sooner or later.
Besides, I truly see Little Fan as my brother.”
“I will never do such a thing to a brother who has shared life and death with me,” Ye Xiaoyao said firmly. He was determined to secretly give one more percentage to his good brother after obtaining the soul iron.
“What a kind kid, it would be better for you not to cultivate immortality in Sky Rainbow World if you continue to be so,” Old Jian said with contempt. He was once a young man full of hope, if not for…
“Okay, let me tell you, your brother is certainly not a fool, so you need to cooperate with some scenes.”
“For instance, a scenario where you spare no effort and are covered in wounds to save him,” Old Jian continued.
“Or situations when your brother is insulted, and you fly into a rage out of humiliation, and spare no expense to avenge your brother.”
“For a brother of yours who doesn’t like to go out, it’s also a good choice to provoke an elder to insult him and then you stick up for him.”
“And there’s also…”
Old Jian was about to continue speaking but was interrupted by Ye Xiaoyao. “Enough, I’m willing to do everything you said for Little Fan, but I will not play such despicable games,” Ye Xiaoyao said darkly.
“Do you know that after I became an Immortal Emperor, my brothers all received a millionfold return from me?”
“A little exploitation of your brothers in the early stages for a rise, as for those means you mentioned, they’re just small ways to enhance your bond with your brothers.”
A thoughtful look crossed Ye Xiaoyao’s eyes.
A day later, in a place where demonic beasts gathered, Ye Xiaoyao, dressed in Spirit Power Armor, was gazing at a herd of Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants in the distance.
“Old Jian, my brother is a refining genius isn’t he? This set of Spirit Power Armor has directly enhanced my combat power by 50 percent, and the armor comes with its own defensive and power-boosting techniques.”
“If I had Spirit Power Armor earlier, I could’ve killed that old silver coin then, ” said Ye Xiaoyao, touching his Spirit Power Armor.
“If you like it, then don’t return it, or have your brother refine another set for you,” Old Jian said in his heart.
“When I go back, let my brother refine another set.”
After saying that, Ye Xiaoyao charged towards the herd of Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants in front of him.
Three days later, Ye Xiaoyao came to Xu Fan’s Little Hill, with a face full of shame.
“What, you broke the Spiritual Core of my Spirit Power Armor!” Xu Fan exclaimed, his eyes brimming with shock, as if he couldn’t believe that his armor could break.
“It was just out of curiosity, so I opened the protection of the Spiritual Core to take a look,” said Ye Xiaoyao, hanging his head in shame, while in his heart, he cursed Old Jian countless times.
Xu Fan’s eyes dimmed immediately. He lowered his head for a long time before he said to Ye Xiaoyao, “Brother Ye, didn’t I tell you not to open the protection? But why did you……”
“That set of Spirit Power Armor is my most precious possession. To refine this set of Spirit Power Armor, I have used all my spirit stones, and a type of Spirit Ore that only appears once in a hundred years in the Cultivation World.” “I lent it to you because I trusted you.”
“With one opening, all the hard work of my years has been in vain, and I haven’t even used that set of Spirit Power Armor.”
Ye Xiaoyao, looking at the grieving Xu Fan, felt he had gone too far. If it wasn’t for the instigation of Old Jian, he wouldn’t have opened it.
“Little Fan, I was wrong in this matter. You tell me how many Spirit Stones you used to refine the armor, and what kind of Precious Spirit Ore you used. Tell me, no matter how rare, I can find it for you, even if I have to scour the entire Cultivation World,” said Ye Xiaoyao, looking at Xu Fan with determination.
“The Spirit Heart Ore, and the Spirit Stones can be ignored, this set of Spirit Power Armor can be repaired, if there is the Spirit Heart Ore.”
“If you can’t find it, then forget it,” Xu Fan said slowly.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao put a space ring and turned around to leave.
“Little Fan, I’m sorry for what I did. You wait, I will definitely find the Spirit Heart Ore.”
After making sure Ye Xiaoyao was gone, Xu Fan picked up the Space Ring and looked at it. His mining puppet, mountain-sized Soul Iron Spirit Ore, and his armor that had lost its spiritual power were all there.
“Did I overdo it with this act? I only intended to squeeze out a little more Soul Iron Spirit Mine, but I didn’t expect it to fetch it all.” Xu Fan glanced at it, this pile of Soul Iron was worth at least 6,000,000 Spirit Stones.
As someone who doesn’t like to suffer losses, when Zhu Jiao proposed to collect Soul Iron Mine together, Xu Fan had a plan in his head.
If he gifted a normal set of Spirit Power Armor, the old silver coin inside Zhu Jiao would definitely be agitating Zhu Jiao to cheat it. Therefore, Xu Fan set up a trap. Even if Zhu Jiao didn’t look at the Spiritual Core, the Spirit Power Armor would be ruined by Zhu Jiao’s other actions.
When the Spirit Power Armor broke, Zhu Jiao had to compensate, right? Starting from a minimum of a million Spirit Stones.
No, isn’t there Soul Iron here? I wouldn’t be overstepping if I took over half of it.
You and Grandpa teased me three times, repaying you once isn’t too much right? If there’s not much of a problem, the other two times also need to be repaid.
