At this moment, Wang Yulun was in despair. The benefactor who had saved him twice had already finished three tables of food.
"Brother Xu, I didn't bring many Spirit Stones with me. Can we meet again next time?" Wang Yulun whispered to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun and said with a smile, "My heart aches. I've only just arrived here."
Under the effect of the Satiety Technique, all the spiritual food turned into the purest spiritual energy and gradually strengthened Xu Fan's physique.
A feeling of satisfaction and happiness appeared.
Could this spell affect the emotions of the user?
At this moment, Xu Fan finally finished the last dish and stopped ordering.
"How many kilograms of Spirit Devouring Honey did you get? Is it enough to settle the matter concerning your mother-in-law?" Xu Fan interrupted and asked.
"I have about five kilograms of honey. I think it should be enough," said Wang Yulun. Actually, he was not confident either. Although the Spirit Devouring Honey was rare, it was not the only thing that could heal hidden injuries.
"Sure. If you need to talk, I might be able to help."
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Xu Fan went straight to a chamber of commerce that specialized in purchasing treasures of heaven and earth.
The moment he entered, Xu Fan received a warm welcome.
"Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the VIP room first. Later, I'll send an appraiser from my chamber of commerce to specially serve you," said a cultivator who seemed to be a high-leveled Qi Refinement Stage supervisor.
"Okay."
Xu Fan looked at the Myriad Treasure Tower that was packed with people. It was said that every time the mystic realm opened, these chambers of commerce would welcome their favorite segment. Countless rare treasures of heaven and earth would be purchased by them.
After every mystic realm, there would always be rumors of someone obtaining a great opportunity in the mystic realm or obtaining an extraordinary Dharma treasure.
In the VIP room, Xu Fan had just finished a cup of tea when a slender young girl with delicate features walked in.
"Hello Fellow Daoist, I'm Wan Ling'er, the appraiser of the Myriad Treasure Tower."
"What treasure do you wish to sell? We will definitely give you a reasonable price," said the young woman in a soft voice. She looked at Xu Fan with a slightly spirited gaze, wondering if she would be able to receive a big customer this time.
A small spatial artifact that was specially used to store liquid was placed on the table. Inside the bottle was 50 kilograms of Spirit Devouring Queen Wasp Honey.
Then, Xu Fan made an inviting gesture.
Wan Ling'er directly picked up the small bottle, opened the spatial restriction, and sniffed lightly.
A surge of astonishing spiritual force mixed with the sweet fragrance of the honey rushed straight into her mind. Just by smelling it, it was as if she had eaten a miracle pill.
"Fellow Daoist, did you just come out of the mystic realm?" Wan Ling'er asked as she began to measure the amount of honey in the bottle.
"I just came out and wanted to settle the things on hand," said Xu Fan. In the mystic realm, he also obtained many spirit medicines and spirit ores. However, he could refine Spirit Pills and Dharma artifacts himself, so there was no need to sell them at all.
Wan Ling'er took out some honey and tasted it carefully.
"Fellow Daoist, the quality of your Spirit Devouring Honey is quite good. How about I give you 2,500 Spirit Stones per kilogram?" Wan Ling'er offered a price that was slightly lower than Xu Fan's expectations.
"Young Miss, can you look for an experienced appraiser? I believe he'll give me a definite number,"said Xu Fan indifferently. He didn't believe that the Spirit Devouring Queen Wasp Honey was worth this price.
Wan Ling'er frowned. He was saying that her skills were not good enough.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
Wan Ling'er left the VIP room, feeling a bit dejected. Her first attempt as an appraiser had been a bad start. Furthermore, she didn't know how her elder sister, who had opposed her since she was young, would mock her when she returned.
Meanwhile, Xu Fancontinued sipping his tea, wondering if he should get a few tea trees when he returned. After all, he still had a long way to go.
A white-haired old man walked into Xu Fan's VIP room. His cultivation level was at the Golden Core Stage.
"Hello, Senior." Xu Fan immediately stood up and greeted the old man.
"You're a guest. There's no need to be so formal."
The white-haired old man gestured for Xu Fan to sit down and picked up the small bottle on the table.
"This is Spirit Devouring Queen Wasp Honey. How about 3,200 Spirit Stones per kilogram?" The old man asked with slight surprise. It had been a long time since the chamber of commerce had received Queen Wasp Honey.
"We'll go with the price that Senior mentioned," said Xu Fan as he nodded. This price was 200 Spirit Stones higher than he had expected.
The moment Xu Fan received the Spirit Stones, his heart started beating faster. It was as if he had won the lottery and received the prize money.
In the Myriad Treasure Tower.
"I didn't think that I would fail the first time I appraised a treasure. I don't even know how I will be mocked when I go back," said Wan Ling'er dejectedly. In her heart, she blamed Xu Fan for not giving in to her.
"You've learned your lesson. You still have a long way to go."
"Being an appraiser is only a side profession for you. Cultivating properly is the way to go," said the white-haired old man to Wan Ling'er. How could the daughter of the Myriad Treasure Tower's Tower Master be an appraiser all this time?
"Yes." Wan Ling'er nodded humbly.
Meanwhile, after obtaining the Spirit Stones, Xu Fan did not wantonly spend them. Instead, he quietly returned to his mountain and began to count his gains.
"The spirit medicines I obtained can be used to refine several batches of pills."
"As for these spirit ores, they can be used to refine a few Dharma artifacts."
After Xu Fan finished counting all his gains, he thought of going into seclusion to digest the pill formulas and spell jade slips he obtained from the mystic realm.
After thinking for a while, Xu Fan lightly tapped his finger in the air. A paper crane that flickered with green light appeared, spreading its wings and flying towards the alliance headquarters.
Before long, Pang Fu flew out of Xu Fan's small mountain with Spirit Stones and a list.
The next day, Xu Fan looked at the five matching storage bags in front of him and bitterly smiled. "It seems like 300,000 Spirit Stones is more than enough to spend."
With the spirit stones, Xu Fan directly swept through all the weapon refinement runes in the Scripture Holding Depository.
After that, he wantonly purchased spirit medicines and spirit ores for alchemy.
This time, Xu Fan activated his alchemy and weapon refinement plan. His goal was to become a master of both alchemy and weapon refinement. As for cultivation, it was up to fate. In any case, he could break through on the last day of his life.
Spring passed and autumn came. Three years passed in a flash.
In an Intermediate-leveled refining room at the Earth Core Workshop, Xu Fan looked at the combination Dharma artifact in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"Something is incompatible between the Spirit Control and the Parent-Child runes. Is the Transfer rune incompatible?" Xu Fan rubbed his chin and asked.
In mid-air, a seemingly broken flying sword was in the midst of its final fusion. The runes that had already been matched began to show signs of rejection at the final fusion stage.
The Dharma artifact that had yet to form was directly controlled by Xu Fan's powerful spiritual force in midair. It was as if it was still and was in a state where it was just about to merge.
"Oh right, since it's not compatible, I'll use a strengthened version of the Parent-Child rune. Meanwhile, the Spirit Control rune will be replaced with the Spider Silk rune."
As he spoke, Xu Fan's eyes lit up. He immediately took out a rune brush and began to draw in the air. In the blink of an eye, 99 runes appeared in the air. They appeared in the air in a strange pattern and began to merge with the Dharma artifact in the air.
Xu Fan heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the successful Dharma artifact. After refining the Thousand Blade six times, he finally succeeded.
