At this moment, an inner sect elder arrived beside them.
Great, there were big shots everywhere here. The inner sect elders were usually in the Attention Stage.
"Greetings, senior."
"Greetings, Elder Li."
The inner sect elder looked at Xu Fan and asked, "How many types of runes have you mastered?"
"I've mastered 206 types of runes."
"Use the Soft rune, the Heavenly Turtle rune, the Giant Stone rune, the Steel rune, the Speed Slowing rune, the Spirit Gathering rune, and the Iron Sand rune to refine the toughest shield. How should the runes be arranged?" The inner sect elder didn't waste any time and simply started to test Xu Fan's refinement skills.
These runes were the most basic runes that Xu Fan had learned from refinement jade slips. They were also very familiar to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan used his fingers as a pen and directly drew the runes according to the best arrangement.
A small shield made of runes appeared in the air.
"Yes, he has a solid foundation and has reached the required standards."
"You will repair the outer walls of the Floating Sky Ship. For each square meter repaired, you will be rewarded with 1,000 Spirit Stones and 100 contribution points. Is there any problem?" The inner sect elder asked quickly.
"No." Xu Fan nodded.
At this moment, the inner sect elder waved his hand and a big shot in the Void Refinement Stage alighted from the Floating Sky Ship.
"Should I tutor him?" The Void Refinement big shot asked.
"That's right. I hope that Senior will take care of him," said the inner sect elder.
"Don't worry about it. The great Peak Master is watching over there."
"Alright, cut the crap. Junior, what's your name?" The big shot asked.
"I am an outer sect disciple, Xu Fan." Xu Fan felt like he was a little chick stuck between a few ferocious tigers.
"Alright, follow me."
Without waiting for a reply, the Void Refinement big shot teleported to the side of the Floating Sky Ship with Xu Fan.
"Kid, your speed of repair is also related to my reward."
"It's good to be faster."
"Alright, you should observe how others repair the ship first."
"Okay."
Xu Fan used Light Body Technique to stand in the air and began to look towards the side of the Floating Sky Ship.
The entire surface of the Floating Sky Ship was a pale yellow color. Its surface was filled with bumps and hollows that made it seem a little pale.
According to Xu Fan's estimation, the entire Floating Sky Ship was at least 50,0000 meters long and over 5,000 meters tall.
After looking at the body of the ship, Xu Fan looked at the few groups of people who were repairing the hull in the distance.
After looking at them for a while, Xu Fan retracted his gaze. It was just some simple repair work. Other than carving Linking Arrays, which was a little troublesome, the rest was physical work.
"Senior, let's begin," said Xu Fan to the Void Refinement cultivator.
"Oh, have you understood it so quickly?"
"Then let's get started."
Xu Fan and the Void Refinement cultivator went to the place where the ship had been pierced.
"Senior, the Mystic Star Iron and Extreme Yin Iron are in a ratio of 8:2. Seven hundred kilograms of refined ores are needed," said Xu Fan as he estimated the amount of resources needed. The principles were the same, just that the materials used were of a higher grade.
The Void Refinement cultivator did not waste any time. He took out a few refined ores from his storage ring and started melting them.
"Senior, what kind of spirit fire is this?" Xu Fan asked as he looked at the few extremely hard spirit ores that the Void Refinement cultivator had refined using spirit fire. The Mystic Star Iron and Extreme Yin Iron were two extremely hard types of spirit iron in the cultivation world. In particular, after they took shape, even a Fusion Stage mighty figure would have to expend a lot of effort to destroy them.
"It's a Golden Mysterious Flame. If you want it, give me a Dao treasure in exchange."
As he spoke, the refined ore had already turned into a liquid essence ore.
"Alright, I've placed a layer of spiritual force outside the refined ore. Now you can control it to fill in the holes."
"Okay."
He would cut off the damaged parts before using the newly refined ores to repair them. Before the ores took shape, he would carve the runes according to the original rune veins. Then, he would use an array formation to connect the repaired part to the entire hull of the ship.
As Xu Fan and the Void Refinement big shot cooperated more and more proficiently, their speed of repair became faster and faster. In the end, they forcefully completed the work, which originally took three months, half a month early.
After Xu Fan finished carving the last Spirit Gathering rune, the entire hull of the Floating Sky Ship regained its former luster.
Streams of light flowed in all directions. The ship was indestructible and resembled the carriage of a True God.
"Senior, the outer wall of the Floating Sky Ship has been repaired. Is there anything else?" Xu Fan let out a long sigh. He had been overloaded for the past two months.
If the inner sect elder that first welcomed Xu Fan didn't give him a Divine Strengthening Pill from time to time, Xu Fan's body would probably have collapsed long ago.
"Yes, but it's not your business anymore."
"Boy, after all this time together, I realized that you're a genius."
"In terms of refining, I feel that it is not impossible for you to become a grandmaster blacksmith."
"My boss just sent me a message. He's very satisfied with our speed."
At this moment, five rune stones appeared in the Void Refinement big shot's hand. Xu Fan's eyes instantly lit up.
Runes that could be carried by rune stones were the best among all the runes. They were all things that could only be chanced upon by luck.
"Kid, you're pleasing to the eye. I obtained these five rune stones by accident."
"I'm giving them to you. Take it as a form of good karma. When you become a grandmaster blacksmith in the future, don't forget to refine a Dao treasure for me," said the Void Refinement big shot with a smile.
After Xu Fan received the rune stones, he said to the Void Refinement big shot, "When I become a grandmaster blacksmith, I will definitely refine a Dao treasure for Senior immediately."
Xu Fan originally wanted to take out something as a return gift, but after thinking for a while, it seemed like he couldn't even give the elder anything he had on hand, so he gave up in the end.
"Alright, I'll wait for that day."
When Xu Fan and the Void Refinement big shot split up, he even obtained a Spirit Jade from the big shot. The elder said that if he faced any difficulties in the future, he could look for the elder directly.
"What a good Senior. I must get closer to him in the future." Xu Fan looked at the Spirit Jade in his hand and spoke with a smile.
At this time, the inner sect elder from before appeared beside Xu Fan.
"Your reward is 42,000 Spirit Stones and 2,100 contribution points."
Then, the elder handed a storage bag to Xu Fan.
"Xu Fan, are you interested in coming to my Weapon Refinement Peak?" The inner sect elder's eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Xu Fan. He had seen the places that Xu Fan had repaired. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to find any traces of repair.
For a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator to be able to achieve such a feat, he was definitely a genius. Based on industry standards, he had the potential of a grandmaster.
"When I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, I'll definitely pay my respects to the Weapon Refinement Peak," said Xu Fan. After all, the Foundation Establishment Stage was 120 years away.
"Alright, I'll wait for you at the Weapon Refinement Peak."
He had seen Xu Fan's aptitude before. It would only take him ten years to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. At that time, with his recommendation, entering the inner sect wouldn't be a problem.
"When I came, the big shots competed to escort me. Now, there's no need for them to do so. It's a pity that I can only leave by myself." Xu Fan sighed as he sat on the Spirit Wind Boat. He didn't expect the cultivation world to be so realistic.
As he spoke, Xu Fan turned around to look at the wide world behind him.
"The sect is much more impressive than I imagined. To have half a Minor Chiliocosm in the inner sect is really too amazing."
"I used to think that the outer sect was big enough. I didn't expect there to be even bigger ones."
"After advancing to the inner sect, I need to take a good look at this Minor Chiliocosm."
