At this moment, the world seemed to have turned into a zither string. The phantom of a giant hand appeared, and its finger lightly landed on the zither string.
Clang~~~
Endless sound waves surged out in all directions like waves.
Wherever the sound waves passed by, all of the Spirit Devouring Wasps fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls.
Xu Fan forced himself to stand up. He placed the two people who had been knocked unconscious by the sound waves onto the Spirit Wind Boat and quickly flew into the distance.
The swarm of Spirit Devouring Wasps that blotted out the sky behind him flew towards their nest in fright. Their formation resembled a cotton candy that had been bitten.
On a beach by the lake, a pale Xu Fan was roasting a fat pheasant. Beside him lay two unconscious people.
"I didn't expect the aftereffects of using a powerful move to be so severe. I wonder how long it will take for me to recover."
"I feel like I've made a huge loss."
As he spoke, Xu Fan looked at the couple who often flirted with each other in front of him.
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, he felt his blood surge. He hastily took out a high-grade Azure Wood Pill and swallowed it. Then, he started to heal.
Right now, Xu Fan's spiritual power was out of balance and his blood was in chaos. Without a few days of rest, it would be difficult for him to recover to his previous level.
"It seems like I won't be able to use any spells that consume spiritual energy for the next few days. However, I can still use spiritual energy-type spells." As Xu Fan spoke, he looked towards the Earth Dragon Beast under his control in the distance, which had already reached Level-10 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
With the Earth Dragon Beast guarding him, he would be able to survive these few days safely.
At this moment, Wang Yulun slowly woke up.
"Is this hell?" Wang Yulun was still in a daze.
"Yes, you were sent to the 18th level of hell because you dragged your friend into that mess."
Xu Fan said slowly as he spun the roasted pheasant. Since this fellow recognized him, he should be fine.
At this moment, Wang Yulun suddenly realized something.
"I'm not dead!!"
"Big Brother Xu, you saved me and Qian'er."
As Wang Yulun spoke, he twisted his thigh. Then, he looked at his wife and started giggling.
Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun before continuing his business.
Then, a bottle of high-grade Soul Calming Pills was thrown to Wang Yulun's side.
"The two of you were injured by the Dimensional Sonic Death. You're a little deranged right now, so take some pills. That will prevent any residual effects," said Xu Fan indifferently. There was a hint of sadness in his tone. The Soul Calming Pill was a Rank-1 medicinal pill, and the cost of this bottle alone was 500 to 600 Spirit Stones.
Wang Yulun picked up the pill bottle and said emotionally, "Big Brother Xu, this is the second time you've saved me. Thank you."
]His tone was extremely sincere, as if he was offering everything he had to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan shivered. He couldn't stand such a gay tone.
"You have to pay me for all of this. My service fees are 20,000 Spirit Stones. Furthermore, this bottle of Soul Calming Pills costs 2,000 Spirit Stones. Remember to pay me when you get back to the sect."
Wang Yulun's expression tightened. He didn't think that I had that many Spirit Stones. Then, he smiled and said shamelessly, "I'll owe you for now. When I have the Spirit Stones, I'll return you one million Spirit Stones."
At this moment, Murong Qian'er woke up slowly. As she looked at the scene before her, she pinched Wang Yulun.
"Husband, does it hurt?" Murong Qian'er asked softly. She felt that she was still alive.
"Of course it hurts." Wang Yulun replied bitterly.
"Husband, we're not dead."
"Thank you for saving our lives, Big Brother Xu."
Murong Qian'er struggled to stand up as she spoke. However, she discovered that she was completely powerless and could not mobilize her spiritual energy.
After taking a Soul Calming Pill from Wang Yulun, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Xu Fan was done barbecuing the pheasant. He broke off a sizzling drumstick and started eating it.
"Tell me, whose cerebral thrombosis was so bad that you dared to provoke the Spirit Devouring Spirit Wasps?"
Xu Fan said to the two of them as he chewed on his drumstick. They were truly troublemakers.
Wang Yulun scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Our plan was supposed to be foolproof but we didn't expect that there would be some problems along the way. In the end, we were discovered by the Spirit Devouring Wasps."
"I thought that I would be able to escape easily with the secret technique that Big Brother Xu taught me, but I overestimated myself."
Xu Fan pursed his lips. Was he still blaming Xu Fan for the fact that the mystic technique he received was not exciting enough?
"Let's not talk about anything else. I just want to know why you provoked that thing."
At this moment, Murong Qian'er lowered her head in shame.
"The honey produced by the Spirit Devouring Wasps has the ability to preserve one's skin and prolong one's life, especially for those with hidden injuries. Consuming the honey for a long time can even remove these hidden injuries."
"Qian'er's mother gave birth to Qian'er when her family was invaded by a strong enemy. At that time, she had just given birth to Qian'er when she went to fight the strong enemy. After that, she fell ill."
"I heard that the honey of the Spirit Devouring Wasps can heal hidden injuries. Most importantly, with the Spirit Devouring Spirit Honey, I can propose to Qian'er's family."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan understood. It was another pitiful young man who had been forced into a corner by betrothal gifts. This was an evil mother-in-law.
"Based on your status as a disciple preparing to enter the A-Hall, your future mother-in-law doesn't think much of you," said Xu Fan strangely. Anyone with a bit of insight could tell that this guy had potential.
"My mother-in-law said that I was quite a nice person. Thus, the betrothal gift was reduced from two million Spirit Stones to one million Spirit Stones," said Wang Yulun quietly.
"Your mother-in-law treats you really well," said Xu Fan with a pained expression. He estimated that Wang Yulun would take over ten years to save one million Spirit Stones.
"That's why I took the risk. I was thinking of using this as a betrothal gift. My family and I gathered our money together to see if we could fork out 500,000 Spirit Stones."
Looking at Wang Yulun's expectant look, Xu Fan thought about how he was defeated by the betrothal gift of $300,000 in his previous life. For a moment, he actually felt the same way as Wang Yulun.
"After talking for so long, did you get the item?" Xu Fan asked again.
"I got the thing, but unfortunately it's only half the amount that I expected."
"However, I think it should be enough." Wang Yulun took out a small bottle and spoke.
At this time, Xu Fan's eyes flashed with excitement. This honey was so good, so it should be worth a lot of money. It just so happened that he had almost used up all of his Spirit Stones to refine weapons.
"How many Spirit Stones is this thing worth?" Xu Fan asked.
"One kilogram costs 2,000 Spirit Stones. It's expensive, but there's no market for it," said Murong Qian'er softly.
Xu Fan's eyes lit up. Then, he said to the two, "Come, show me the place where you got the honey."
Three days later, Xu Fan had completely recovered by relying on high-quality healing pills. At this moment, he was riding a Cloud Flower Deer through a sea of flowers. The bamboo forest ahead was the nest of the Spirit Devouring Wasps.
When he was about to reach the beehive, the Cloud Flower Deer stopped. It was unwilling to move forward no matter what.
"The territory of the Spirit Devouring Wasps is right ahead, right? Alright."
As Xu Fan spoke, he tapped the space between the Cloud Flower Deer's brows and said, "Find a place to hide."
The Cloud Flower Deer was a small auspicious beast. It was also very beautiful. Most importantly, it could bring good luck to its master. When it reached adulthood, it could even summon auspicious clouds. Xu Fan never thought that he would be so lucky to meet the Cloud Flower Deer here. He wanted to bring it back and raise it.
The Cloud Flower Deer let out a squeal and ran in the direction it came from.
"Spirit Devouring Honey, I'm here."
Xu Fan used the Light Body Technique and turned into a gust of wind, drifting towards the bamboo forest.
