As they watched the siblings eat, Xu Fan chatted about their past.
“Xu Gang, Yuexian, have you visited your grandparents?” Xu Fan asked, suddenly realizing that it had been four years since he took these siblings as his disciples and wondered how the wise old man was doing.
“My little sister and I visit our grandparents every time we leave the sect to complete a task,” Xu Gang replied.
“Grandpa and Grandma are doing well, and they’re quite healthy. There are 20 people waiting on them,” added Xu Yue.
“Grandpa even personally planted two acres of land with Grandma,” Xu Gang said, an expression of home in his eyes as he spoke about his grandparents.
“Grandpa said that he has no regrets in this life,” Xu Yue chimed in.
“By the way, grandpa and grandma have adopted a little girl, who is super cute, and they said when she grows up, she will marry my brother,” Xu Yue spoke, waving her hands to describe how cute the little girl was.
“Really, I didn’t expect your brother to have a wife so soon,” Xu Fan said with narrowed eyes, admiring how well the old man had done in treating Xu Gang like his biological grandson.
“No, no, Xiao Xi is like you — she’s also my little sister,” Xu Gang hurriedly explained as the boys his age usually had no interest in wives.
“Haha, it seems I need to take another little boy as my disciple so that he can be Yuexian’s husband in the future, then everything will be complete,” Xu Fan joked. The master arranging marriages seemed to be a natural thing to do.
“l don’t want that,” Xu Yue said, turning her head away.
“Haha.’
While Master and his two disciples were enjoying a meal and resting, a group of puppets arrived carrying a pile of jade bottles, jade slips, jade discs, and a few Pill Refining Furnaces.
“The Spirit Pills in these jade bottles have lost their efficacy, and it will take a few years to rejuvenate those Treasure Artifact level pill furnaces that have been through a thousand years,” Xu Fan said, his tone slightly disappointed as he looked at the gathered items.
As for alchemy, Xu Fan had never neglected it and maintained the same level of proficiency as artifact refining. Over the years, his control of Spirit Pill formulas exceeded that of fellow alchemists, so he was not particularly interested in the alchemist inheritance.
“Who among you is interested in alchemy?” Xu Fan asked, knowing that inheriting jade slips can help cultivators easily learn this specific Dao.
Both siblings shook their heads simultaneously. It was not possible for them to have the energy to study alchemy when they hadn’t even learned all of the secret methods passed down by their master.
Seeing their shaking heads, Xu Fan said: “Alright, I’ll keep the inheritance jade slips for now. If either of you are interested later, just come to me.”
After six hours, everything valuable in the Secret Realm was put into Xu Fan’s Space Ring.
“All three Space Rings are full, so it seems I’ll need to bring more Space Rings on future trips,” he said and sighed.
“It’s a pity that I haven’t obtained any Spatial Attribute Runes yet, or else I could refine my own Space Treasures,” he lamented.
Xu Fan decided that after returning, he would study the iron plate earnestly to see if he could extract any Spatial Runes. If not, he would have to milk Wang Yulun to take a blind gamble.
After leaving the Secret Realm, Xu Fan carefully led his two disciples back to Yijin City.
For some reason, after returning to Yijin City, Xu Fan thought of Ye Xiaoyao. If he had come back from the Secret Realm with that guy, there would undoubtedly be an accident, and the probability of treasure-snatching would be as high as 90%.
Meanwhile, far away in the Demon Spirit World, Ye Xiaoyao was disguised as a young master of the Wolf Emperor Clan.
At this time, he had just emerged from a miraculous treasure land and was happily planning how to exchange his loot for Spirit Stones after returning to the Feiyu Boundary, so that Xu Fan could refine flying swords for him.
“Old Jian, when do you think we’ll go back?” Ye Xiaoyao asked in his mind, feeling very uncomfortable with his wolf ears and tail, especially during battles.
“What’s the rush? The daring die from being too brave, while the timid die from hunger. It’s not easy to come to the Spirit Demon World, so why not gather more treasures?”
“My Demon Transformation Technique is a secret life technique of the Great Thousand World – even the Demon Venerables of this world can’t see through it. ”
“So just feel at ease and collect resources here. In the future, you’ll need a lot more flying swords than just a few hundred.”
“After you advance to the Mahayana stage and possess the power of ten thousand swords, you can even slay immortals and suppress demons.” Old Jian said, describing the splendid future of sword array cultivation in a glorious manner.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao was a bit puzzled. He didn’t understand everything, but the part about having ten thousand flying swords struck a chord within him.
“Old Jian, shall we switch to cultivating the Heart Sword Dao instead? Ten thousand flying swords – you think they’re just ordinary ones from the secular world?” Ye Xiaoyao said helplessly in his heart, regretting ever cultivating the Sword Formation Dao under Old Jian’s influence.
He could imagine his future path: cultivating, earning Spirit Stones, finding someone to refine flying swords, and repeating this cycle throughout his entire cultivation journey.
“It’s just ten thousand flying swords. When you reach the Tribulation Passage stage, I’ll take you to break through the barrier and find the Divine Dao Treasure House I left behind. Just taking out a little from it would be enough for you to make tens of thousands of flying sword treasures.”
“The lowest quality inside are all flying sword treasures of the Dao Artifact Level.’
Upon hearing Old Jian’s words, Ye Xiaoyao’s fighting spirit was instantly reignited.
Just then, a giant claw suddenly stretched out from the sky and grabbed Ye Xiaoyao, lifting him into the air.
“Little wolf, since you’re so energetic, how about becoming the disciple of this Giant Slaughter Demon Venerable!”
Having already returned to his mountain peak, Xu Fan looked at his gains and was still pondering one question till now.
How could all these things have been obtained so easily and safely, without any life-and-death experiences? This made Xu Fan, who was well-versed in novel tropes, feel a little unreal.
It seemed that he didn’t have Zhu Jiao’s good fortune. Every time Zhu Jiao had an opportunity, someone would try to seize it, and then he would counter-kill and snatch the treasure. When Zhu Jiao was complacent, Heavenly Dao would arrange a life teacher to give him a lesson.
“Master, you’ve been staring at these things for a long time. Shouldn’t it be time to classify and store them?” Xu Yuexian looked at Xu Fan, who was lost in thought.
“Oh, let’s start categorizing them. Put the Spiritual Medicine directly into the Spiritual Medicine Garden.”
“Put the Spiritual Mine separately into a Storage Bag, and store the remaining Jade Slips and Jade Butterflies in the Secret Vault. You can decide how to classify the rest.” Xu Fan said.
Xu Fan lay down on a lounge chair in the yard and started calculating his net worth.
As a rough estimate, Xu Fan found that excluding the puppets and magical treasures on him, his net worth had already exceeded 10 million Spirit Stones.
Just as Xu Fan was about to get carried away, he thought of his experiences on the Floating Skyship and slowly calmed down.
“These Spirit Stones are nothing to boast about when placed on those warships; they’re only good for a few shots.” Xu Fan told himself, his first goal now to refine a giant ship warship like the Floating Skyship.
These Spirit Stones were not worth mentioning in comparison to Xu Fan’s goals.
“Damn it, I’ll deal with the useless Spirit Items tomorrow and focus on collecting Spatial Attribute Runes.”
“Also, take out 2 million Spirit Stones to upgrade the Puppet Army.” “And refine a few more treasure artifacts specifically for storing Spiritual
Medicine and Spiritual Mine.”
“And also………….
Xu Fan did the math and unexpectedly found that he seemed to be short of
Spirit Stones..
