Xu Fan held the Thousand Blade Flying Sword, which was formed by 360 fragments, and began to admire it. This was refined from the main material of the Thousand Meteorite Iron that he had spent a huge sum of money to purchase. Just the materials alone cost over 10,000 Spirit Stones. This was the price for most top-grade Dharma artifacts.
As Xu Fan's skill in refining increased, his hoarding habit was awakened. Currently, his collection room already had more than twenty high-quality Dharma artifacts. What was even more outrageous was that there were five top-quality Dharma artifacts like Thousand Blade.
On Spirit Merchant Peak, Xu Fan went to a small shop that was opened three years ago. He threw the Dharma artifact that he had casually refined at the Earth Core Workshop to the shop assistant before returning to his small mountain.
Xu Fan had spent over 100,000 Spirit Stones on this small shop three years ago.
On the Spirit Wind Boat, Xu Fan, who was sitting in the small cabin of the boat, felt a little emotional. He seemed to be in his twenties already. If it was in his previous life, he would have gone to university or on blind dates.
"Should I get a girlfriend too?"
"I've been seeing couples flirt in front of me for no reason lately."
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, a beautiful figure flashed past not far from the Spirit Wind Boat. Meanwhile, an azure streak of light was following behind the beautiful figure at a leisurely pace.
"Senior Brother Si Yun, come chase me!"
A silver bell-like voice could make all youths fall into fantasy.
"…"
The Spirit Wind Boat instantly burst forth with a large amount of spiritual energy and its speed increased by nearly three times.
Everyone watched as a beam of light streaked across the sky.
A few rookies who had just entered the sect looked curiously at the sky and exclaimed. Was this the speed of a Foundation Establishment senior?
When Xu Fan returned to his mountain, he went to the collection room that he had built two years ago.
He casually used the Wood Spirit Technique to create a shelf for flying swords. After placing the Thousand Blade Flying Sword on it, Xu Fan began to admire his masterpiece.
At this moment, the phone-like Dharma artifact in his arms vibrated. The latest news from the Heavenly Imperial Sect appeared.
Firstly, the location of the annual Xiangzhou Sect Exchange that was held once every ten years was at the Heavenly Imperial Sect. Throughout the three-month period, all cultivators from Xiangzhou would gather at the Heavenly Imperial Sect.
Secondly, the sect's Floating Sky Ship was damaged. It was estimated that they had encountered a large beast tide in the Endless Sea.
Thirdly, a large spirit ore mine had recently been discovered under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Imperial Sect.
Fourthly, the Weapon Refinement Peak had begun recruiting a large number of Grade-1 blacksmiths. It was suspected to be related to repairing the Floating Sky Boat.
Lastly, Ye Xiaoyao of the Myriad Sword Peak killed a Golden Core traitor of the sect yesterday. A Foundation Establishment cultivator killed a Golden Core cultivator, and another paragon of the sect was born.
When Xu Fan saw the fourth piece of news, his eyes lit up. He was now a Grade-1 blacksmith. He wondered if he would be qualified to come into contact with the Floating Sky Ship after entering Weapon Refinement Peak.
Also, Ye Xiaoyao was indeed a protagonist. It had only been a few years and he was already capable of killing a Golden Core cultivator. Had the old grandpa in his body awakened?
In the past three years, Xu Fan's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds due to his gluttony and frequent consumption of the Spirit Devouring Queen Wasp Honey. He could not suppress his growth even if he tried to. He had now advanced to Level-8 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
He had also thoroughly mastered the ancient pill formulas and spell jade slips he obtained from the mystic realm.
"I wonder if I can defeat a Golden Core cultivator when I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage."
As Xu Fan spoke, he picked up a Dharma artifact, which was a Dragon Pearl the size of a ball. Traces of dragon roars came from the Dragon Pearl. This was the Dharma artifact that Xu Fan was proudest of. It could summon the soul of a flood dragon and had the battle prowess of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Next to it was a soul Dharma artifact that was compatible with the soul of the flood dragon. After the two Dharma artifacts were used together, the soul of the flood dragon would have the battle prowess of a top-notch Foundation Establishment cultivator. Killing ordinary Foundation Establishment demon beasts would be like slaughtering chickens and dogs. Xu Fan had experimented with the Dharma artifacts alone.
At this moment, a ringtone sounded from the restriction. Then, Murong Qian'er walked in happily with a large box of food in her hands. Wang Yulun was beside her.
In the pavilion, Xu Fan looked at the sweet couple and was a little surprised. It was rare for someone to persist in showing off their affection in front of him for three years.
"What joyous occasion could make you so happy? Has your mother-in-law relented?" Xu Fan asked.
After the mystic realm, Wang Yulun went back and gave his mother-in-law the Spirit Devouring Honey. As expected, he won her affection. Then, the betrothal gift was reduced from one million Spirit Stones to 800,000 Spirit Stones.
At first, Xu Fan wanted to help his good friend, but later on, he changed his mind. This was the cultivation world. It was not too late to get married even if he was 100 years old.
"Yes, the 15th of next month is the big day for me and Qian'er. Big Brother Xu, you must come," said Wang Yulun. After three years, he could finally give his lover a status.
"In that case, congratulations in advance."
While she was speaking, Murong Qian'er had already arranged the food in the food box.
"What kind of luck did you have to be able to have such a good fate?" Xu Fan looked at the virtuous Murong Qian'er beside Wang Yulun and asked.
However, Xu Fan thought, "I don't need such a sweet relationship. I'm a big shot who wants to become an Immortal Emperor. How can there be any woman in this world who is worthy of me?"
Xu Fan looked at the table full of food. Ever since they left the mystic realm and Xu Fan finished three tables of food, Wang Yulun hired a master blacksmith to refine a Dharma artifact. It was a food box that was used to contain dishes.
Every few days, he and Murong Qian'er would bring the food they ordered from the Immortal Indulgence Building to see him. It could be said that there was no obstruction. Of course, this brat had also obtained enough benefits.
After the meal, Xu Fan thought for a while and directly brought the two of them to his Dharma artifact collection room.
The moment they entered the room, their eyes lit up. The 40-square-meter room displayed all kinds of Dharma artifacts.
"Brother Xu, no wonder you didn't bring me to this room. So it is your treasury." Wang Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the Dharma artifacts in the room. He felt that every single one of the Dharma artifacts here were of top quality.
"Big Brother Xu, you're the most talented person I've ever met. You're skilled in combat, alchemy, and weapon refinement. You're simply omnipotent." Murong Qian'er praised Xu Fan.
Meanwhile, Wang Yulun's life savior usually made up a large proportion of Wang Yulun's conversation topics. On the one hand, being proficient in one aspect meant that one was extremely talented. However, if one was proficient in all aspects, then one would be a monster.
Thus, in Wang Yulun's eyes, Xu Fan was a monster. If the outer sect disciples knew that an outer sect disciple who had been in the sect for less than ten years had become an alchemist and a blacksmith at the same time, they would be extremely shocked.
What shocked the couple even more was that the two of them, the disciples-in-waiting of the Battle Hall at Level-9 of the Qi Refinement Stage, could not even last one round against Xu Fan. At that moment, Murong Qian'er's entire worldview had been overturned.
Xu Fan had shown her what combat was.
"Since you are getting married, I have nothing to give you. Each of you can choose a Dharma artifact. Take it as a congratulatory gift."
Although Xu Fan attached great importance to the Dharma artifacts in the collection room, it was not too difficult to refine another one. It was only right for one to bleed a little when their friends got married.
The two of them were instantly overjoyed. To the disciples of the Battle Hall, a top-grade Dharma artifact was the guarantee of their lives.
After a round of careful selection.
Murong Qian'er stared at the two sets of Dharma Artifacts. They were called the Heart Seal Swords. One was a pink flying sword, while the other was white. The white flying sword focused on speed and armor-piercing, while the pink flying sword created illusions to confuse the enemy's mind.
As for Wang Yulun, he had his eyes on the Thousand Blade Flying Sword that Xu Fan had just refined. In a battle, the technique of splitting and casually combining the sword would make it impossible for enemies to defend themselves.
