Chapter 22 - Ye Xiaoyao

In the Earth Core Workshop, Xu Fan looked at the flying sword that had completely fused with the runes. His eyes flashed with excitement. This was the first time he had successfully refined a Dharma artifact.

Looking at the dark black flying sword in front of him, Xu Fan recalled his dream when he was young in his previous life. Back then, if he had such a long sword, he would dare to say that there would not be an intact flower in a radius of 1,000 meters.

"Since you're so dark, then let's call you Complete Darkness."

"Complete Darkness Flying Sword, what a good name." Xu Fan praised himself.

At that moment, spiritual power surged within Xu Fan, and he instantly broke through to Level-5 of the Qi Refinement Stage.

Xu Fan was speechless.

"I accidentally broke through. Forget it, I can now control the Dharma artifact."

After admiring his first masterpiece, Xu Fan began to officially refine his own Dharma artifact.

Three days later, Xu Fan looked at the three Dharma artifacts in front of him and smiled proudly.

The first was the Complete Darkness Flying Word, which was Xu Fan's first successful Dharma artifact.

The second was a set of Dharma artifacts made up of 36 needles that were as thin as hair and embroidered with flowers. They appeared and disappeared from time to time. Each needle also emitted a cold light that made one's heart palpitate.

Meanwhile, the third item was a turtle shell-like shield. It was a three-layered shield made up of three different types of spirit ore. It was called the Colossus.

A ringtone sounded from the restriction.

Then, Wang Yulun led Murong Qian'er in.

Xu Fan waved his hand. The three Dharma artifacts shrunk to their smallest size and hid at Xu Fan's waist.

"Big Brother Xu, we should go to Heaven's Secret Peak!" Wang Yulun shouted.

Bloody hell. Xu Fan rolled his eyes.

"I'm ready. Let's set off together," said Xu Fan casually.

"Okay."

When they left, Xu Fan rolled his eyes again. F*ck, the two of them were riding on the same flying crane. How shameless.

"Big Brother Xu, let's compete. Let's see who gets to Heaven's Secret Peak first!" Wang Yulun shouted.

Just as Wang Yulun finished speaking, he heard a grunt and saw a black shadow flash past. Xu Fan had already disappeared into the horizon.

Xu Fan thought, "If you can see my exhaust, count it as my loss."

Xu Fan rode on his Complete Darkness Flying Sword and quickly streaked across the sky, forming a streamlined air barrier around him.

Xu Fan suddenly felt excited when he saw the air current by his side.

This was true aviation. This was true speed.

An hour later, before Xu Fan's spiritual energy was almost depleted, they arrived at Heaven's Secret Peak.

At this moment, the Heaven's Secret Peak was already filled with Qi Refinement cultivators who had come to participate in the mystic realm. Xu Fan could only find a seat by the side and wait.

After half an hour, Wang Yulun's flying crane landed. Then, he started to hold Murong Qian'er's hand as he excitedly searched for Xu Fan.

Wang Yulun glanced at the crowd and noticed Xu Fan.

"Big Brother Xu, why were you so fast earlier?"

"Also, is that flying sword a Dharma artifact that you refined?"

Murong Qian'er also looked at Xu Fan in surprise. His speed just now was already comparable to the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Why do you have so many questions? Don't you know that I am a master blacksmith now?" Xu Fan asked, ignoring Wang Yulun.

At this moment, the illusory image of a ruddy old man appeared in the sky. A wave of profound energy appeared in the sky before a huge door descended.

"In the Qi Refinement Stage, you cannot kill each other in the mystic realm. One month later, you will automatically exit the realm."

"All disciples participating in the mystic realm, take out 1,000 Spirit Stones. I will collect them myself."

"Now, the mystic realm will open."

The ethereal voice of an immortal caused all the disciples present to fall into a strange state, as if they were listening to the tune of the Great Dao.

Only Xu Fan's eyes flashed with a strange light. Was this a sound-type divine ability? Interesting.

He took out the 1,000 Spirit Stones he had prepared earlier and gently tossed them into the air. The bag of Spirit Stones slowly floated towards the shadow in the air uncontrollably.

There were tens of thousands of bags filled with Spirit Stones in midair.

After collecting the Spirit Stones, the shadow in the sky disappeared. Everyone regained their senses and flew towards the huge door in the sky on their artifacts.

"Big Brother Xu, are you coming with us?" Wang Yulun asked Xu Fan.

"No, but this is for you. In case of an emergency, channel your spiritual qi inside."

As Xu Fan spoke, he passed a Spirit Stone that he had modified to Wang Yulun. As long as Wang Yulun injected spiritual energy into it, it would emit a high frequency fluctuation.

"Thank you, Big Brother Xu." The two of them smiled and thanked him. Then, they rode their flying crane and flew towards the huge gate in the sky. They were like a pair of floating fairies that consisted of a golden boy and a beautiful girl.

Even Xu Fan was a little envious when he looked at them, but he shook his head after thinking about it.

"What's so good about entering the grave early? Long live the bachelor."

As Xu Fan spoke, he summoned his Complete Darkness Flying Sword and transformed into a streak of black light. Then, he flew towards the entrance of the mystic realm.

As soon as he entered the gate, the world around him changed. A mouthful of pure spiritual energy nearly choked Xu Fan off.

"Damn, this spiritual qi is too pure."

Xu Fan looked around and realized that he was above a forest.

"This is a forest of Spirit Wind Trees. Furthermore, they have all matured."

A thought suddenly appeared in Xu Fan's mind.

"I'll make a temporary base that will last me for a month."

Xu Fan had two storage bags, each with a circumference of ten feet.

In the forest of Spirit Wind Trees, Xu Fan controlled his Complete Darkness Flying Sword and sliced through the air. Then, a simple combination hut appeared with a bed and a set of tables and chairs.

At this moment, a few low growls sounded beside Xu Fan.

He saw a group of more than ten Forest Demon Wolves surrounding Xu Fan. A bloodthirsty and excited glint flashed across the eyes of the Demonic Wolves.

"They're Level-4 Qi Refinement Stage demon beasts. I'll just keep them alive and use them."

Pa!

Xu Fan snapped his fingers, and all the demon wolves instantly prostrated on the ground, expressing their submission. There were even a few female wolves that began to flip their bellies at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was speechless. He had used a bit too much force.

After giving them an order to search for treasures of heaven and earth, Xu Fan began to laze around in the forest.

"I wonder if I can find the inheritance of a grandmaster blacksmith here."

Two hours later, Xu Fan looked at the pile of medicinal ingredients in front of him and regretted not buying more storage bags.

"Wood Spirit Mushrooms, Heavenly Yin Grass, Star Bamboo, Heart Calming Tea Tree, Black Heavenly Grass, Wood Ginseng…"

This pile of elixirs was worth more than a hundred Spirit Stones. Furthermore, there were many ingredients that Xu Fan could use when refining pills.

"As expected of a mystic realm. Spirit medicines are everywhere," said Xu Fan excitedly.

Recently, his expenses had been quite high. The Spirit Stones that he had accumulated probably wouldn't last long.

Then, Xu Fan came to a small lake.

"According to the usual pattern, shouldn't there be something in the lake?" Xu Fan looked at the lake thoughtfully and spoke.

Boom!

The entire lake suddenly exploded, and a green sword light broke out of the lake. A handsome outer sect disciple also flew out along with the sword light.

At this moment, Xu Fan had already activated three layers of protective shields and was 100 meters away from the lake.

"Junior Brother, there's no need to panic. I was just trying to subdue the Dharma artifact. It's fine now."

A calm and peaceful voice sounded.

The handsome outer sect disciple waved his hand and an azure flying sword flew into his hand.

The outer sect Senior Brother who obtained the flying sword was very excited. He did not expect to obtain such a harvest in the mystic realm. It seemed that his returns would not be shallow.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for obtaining the peerless flying sword." Xu Fan was like an NPC in the game, saying such meaningless words.

"My name is Ye Xiaoyao. What's Junior Brother's name?"

Upon hearing the name Ye Xiaoyao, Xu Fan was quick-witted.

Damn, could he have met the protagonist?
