Chapter 38 - Soul Iron

Right at this moment, a dark green light attracted their attention.

Wang Yulun and Murong Qian'er stared blankly at the center of the crater.

"The surface is a dark green color. If you focus your gaze, you will feel dazed. This is the Soul Iron!!" Wang Yulun shouted. He knew that Xu Fan lacked Soul Iron the most at the moment.

During a conversation, Xu Fan sighed and said that if he had enough Soul Iron, he would be able to refine a Dharma artifact that would allow a Qi Refinement cultivator to fight against a Golden Core cultivator.

"Don't worry about anything else. If it's really the Soul Iron, we'll dig up a batch and send it to Big Brother Xu first."

"Qian'er, you stay on guard first. I'm going to mine the Soul Iron."

"If you encounter more than two Foundation Establishment demon beasts, use this."

As Wang Yulun spoke, he took out another two large balls that looked like wine jars.

Murong Qian'er nodded and watched Wang Yulun fly towards the deep pit.

At this moment, another group of demon beasts at the Qi Refinement Stage appeared in the distance.

"There are no Foundation Establishment demon beasts. I can fight them."

The two Heart Seal Flying Swords behind Murong Qian'er flashed with spiritual light as they charged toward the demon beasts.

"Heart Seal: Silk Sword Technique!"

An invisible thread appeared at the tail of the two flying swords that were rapidly traveling through the air, connecting them together.

The two flying swords streaked past the demon beasts.

In just an instant, before all the demon beasts could sense it, their bodies were split into two.

A hint of shock flashed across Murong Qian'er's eyes as she watched all the demon beasts being sliced into two. When she obtained the Heart Seal Flying Sword, Xu Fan had told her that this set of Dharma artifacts had two area of effect skills. Thus, it was especially useful against enemies of the same level.

"It turns out that the group killing technique of the Heart Seal Flying Sword is so powerful," said Murong Qian'er as she looked at the corpses of the demon beasts that had formed a small lake of blood.

"Qian'er, look what I got."

Wang Yulun used his spirit energy to carry a piece of Soul Iron the size of a millstone over and spoke excitedly. After searching the ground, he only found this large piece of Soul Iron.

"This large piece of Soul Iron is probably worth 500,000 Spirit Stones. Husband, have we made it rich?" Murong Qian'er asked happily with her eyes narrowed.

"What's the point of getting rich? We'll send them all to Big Brother Xu," said Wang Yulun.

"Husband, can we save half of it? There are many more things you need to use Spirit Stones on after you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage," said Murong Qian'er as she looked at Wang Yu.

She was grateful to Xu Fan for saving their lives. However, compared to her husband's future development, the latter was more important.

"Trust me, Big Brother Xu will not let us suffer." Wang Yulun smiled.

"Fine."

Looking at her husband's expression, she knew that her foolish husband had already made up his mind.

Forget it. These 500,000 Spirit Stones was nothing compared to saving their lives.

In the Heavenly Imperial Sect, Xu Fan looked at the sky leisurely, feeling very comfortable.

"I finally have time to rest properly."

Xu Fan laid on the recliner, leisurely looking at the sky. Beside him, an earth attribute puppet was pouring tea for him.

"I think I should pick up my two precious disciples tomorrow. It's another long investment."

"For safety's sake, after the older disciple becomes a genius, I'll take in a few disciples to share the risk," said Xu Fan while drinking tea.

"As for Yuexian, I'll just teach her some things and let her grow on her own. There might even be surprises."

After taking a sip of tea, Xu Fan squinted his eyes and looked lazily at the sky. He felt that a life without disputes was very beautiful.

At this moment, the restriction bell rang.

Pang Fu walked in while holding his fat belly.

"Senior Brother Pang, I have a cultivation technique for tempering and cutting meat. Do you want to try it?"

"If you want to succeed in the Pixiu Heaven Devouring Technique, you have to eat all the types of food in this world. Isn't it a bit too difficult?"

When Xu Fan's lazy voice reached Pang Fu's ears, it immediately stunned him.

"Junior Brother Xu can tell," said Pang Fu with a chuckle.

"How can I not tell from the way you hold your stomach while you walk? The path Senior Apprentice Brother Pang chose is a little difficult. I can only wish you success," said Xu Fan to Pang Fu as he got up.

"Haha. It's not like I'm going to become an immortal. I just feel that this skill suits me."

Pang Fu placed four storage bags on the table as he spoke.

"Master Xu, these are the things you wanted. The Soul Iron from Ye Xiaoyao is also inside."

"There are still 20,000 Spirit Stones left in the chamber of commerce, Master Xu," said Pang Fu. He obviously did not want to talk about the matter concerning his cultivation technique.

"There's actually a surplus left. Senior Brother Pang is truly considerate." Xu Fan glanced at Pang Fu. Then had the humanoid puppet beside him steep some tea for Pang Fu.

"Master Xu is the pillar of support for my chamber of commerce. It's only right that I put in the effort." Pang Fu's tone was slightly respectful.

A strange light flashed through Xu Fan's eyes. In truth, the effort he had put in for the chamber of commerce wasn't right. He simply sold some pills and fine Dharma artifacts at a reasonable price. Although it was a reasonable price, it wasn't a loss.

In his eyes, the benefits from the chamber of commerce were enough to make up for the difference.

No matter what, Pang Fu's words made Xu Fan feel very comfortable.

"Haha, Senior Brother Pang always speaks from his heart."

"Thank you for your praise, Grandmaster Xu."

At this time, Pang Fu took out another jade slip and handed it to Xu Fan.

"There are already 23 people who have ordered custom Dharma artifacts. The jade slip contains their requirements for the Dharma artifacts."

Xu Fan received the jade slip and briefly glanced through it.

"I'll accept all these business deals. I'll inform you what materials to purchase tomorrow."

"In the future, I'll let you sell my Dharma artifacts and pills. I'll give you a 10% share. What do you think?" Xu Fan smiled and asked Pang Fu. He knew that this was what Pang Fu had always wanted.

At this moment, Pang Fu's eyes flashed with a bright light. He looked at Xu Fan and said firmly, "I don't want a share. Master Xu just needs to hand over the items to me for sale."

"In addition, the chamber of commerce will give Master Xu a share every year."

"This is f*cking bold. If this was in my previous life, I would definitely start a business with you," Xu Fan thought.

"Alright." Xu Fan nodded.

After Pang Fu left, Xu Fan said with a slightly grave expression, "Could it be that he is the protagonist?"

"Forget it. Who the protagonist is has nothing to do with me. I just want peace."

Then, Xu Fan took the jade slip Pang Fu gave him at the end and began to read it carefully. A screen formed from the Light Illusion Technique appeared in midair. On it, the shape and rune arrangements of various Dharma artifacts began to appear. Finally, the information about the spirit ores needed slowly appeared on the screen.

Meanwhile, in the immortal city of the outer sect, the two siblings, who could already be considered to have graduated, were strolling through the streets.

"Little Xian, do you think our Master will be angry if he knows that we finished learning the enlightenment teachings half a month in advance?"

"Why don't we go back and continue listening?" Xu Gang asked worriedly. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, his master would abandon him.

"Brother, don't worry. Master won't blame us."

"Besides, aren't you afraid that the little dark fatty will beat you up when we get back?"

"When we are not strong enough, it would be best for us to hide. When we are strong enough, we can take revenge." The little girl, Xu Yuexian, looked at Xu Gang's shoulder. Her heart ached.

Her brother had been punched in the shoulder for no reason. She had to take revenge for that punch in the future.
