Xu Fan slowly turned his rigid head, knowing that anyone who could conceal their presence from his perception must at least be a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
The ship was full of big shots, there was no way he could keep his actions hidden from others.
“Greetings, senior.” Xu Fan said respectfully, it was always wise to greet big shots first.
A robust old man was sizing Xu Fan up and down.
“Not bad, not bad, abundant spiritual power, tough spirit, a great potential in artifact refining.”
“Kid, you are a disciple on the ship, right? Which peak are you from?” The old man asked.
“Junior has not joined any peak yet, currently I am a loose cultivator.” Xu Fan answered honestly. There were many people like him in Heavenly Gate Outer Sect, most of them were unwanted and the rest wanted to have a touch of every peak.
“Would you like to come to the Refining Equipment Peak?” The old man’s eyes brightened, such a good prospect couldn’t be let go.
At this point, Xu Fan respectfully bowed to the old man.
“Now, the junior is a Tier 1 Pill Master, just had some research on runes.” After hearing Xu Fan’s words, the old man suddenly felt disinterested. “What’s the point of Refining Pills? Artifact refining is a man’s romance.” The old man said and then walked away, as if he lost interest in Xu Fan.
Watching the back of this old man, who was at least a Nascent-Soul Stage cultivator, Xu Fan heaved a sigh of relief. If he really joined the Refining
Equipment Peak, he would definitely not be as free as he was now, and he would have to practice pill refinement sneakily; he might even be ridiculed if he hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment stage after decades.
Xu Fan didn’t pay too much attention to this and continued to observe the runes on the inner wall of the Floating Skyship with his specially refined glasses.
In three days’ time, Xu Fan had visited every accessible place on the ship, once over.
“Oh, this Floating Skyship has over 5,000 runes, not including the engine room.”
“It seems that if I want to refine this thing, I have no idea when I will be able to.” Xu Fan sighed while eating.
Over these years, Xu Fan has never given up on collecting runes. Now he has mastered more than 600 types of runes, and he has found that as time goes by, the speed of collecting runes that he has not learned before, is getting slower and slower.
At this time, Xu Fan sensed that two people were approaching him.
Xu Fan turned his head and saw Sister Sha Yan whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. She was wearing a white butterfly skirt with a perfect figure, which suddenly made Xu Fan’s heart beat faster.
However, seeing another tall young man beside her, Xu Fan was a little disappointed.
“Junior Brother Xu, I didn’t expect it to be you!” Sha Yan said with surprise.
“Hello, Sister Sha.” Xu Fan replied obediently.
“Junior Brother Xu, you like artifact refining right? Let me introduce you.”
Sha Yan patted the tall young man beside her and said,” This is my brother, now a Tier 1 Artificer at the Refining Equipment Peak.”
“This is my junior fellow, who is extremely talented in both Alchemy and
Artifact Refining.”
Sha Yan also introduced Xu Fan to her brother.
“Hello, Senior Brother Sha, my name is Xu Fan.” Xu Fan greeted, giving a sigh of relief inside, relieved that he was not her boyfriend.
“Hello, Junior Brother Xu, my name is Sha Di (Sand Sculpture).” Sha Di also responded with a smile.
After Sha Di finished speaking, he found that the junior apprentice who had just been recognized had a strange expression and his shoulders were trembling rapidly.
At this time, Xu Fan was struggling to hold his laughter. Just as he was about to laugh out loud, he quickly left the cafeteria and returned to his room.
“Hahahaha……”
“There is actually a Sand Sculpture, ah haha…..”
Xu Fan hasn’t met such a fun thing in a long time, he laughed for several minutes before he calmed down.
“I feel a bit impolite.”
“Oh well, I’ll explain it next time I see him.”
By this time, Xu Fan already had an excellent excuse.
Just then, Xu Fan felt the entire Floating Skyship shake, as a voice came. “Entering the Endless Sea, the entire ship is on combat readiness.”
When Xu Fan arrived on the deck, he could smell the scent of the sea.
In the distance was a vast expanse of Azure Endless Ocean Domain, it was as dreamy as a starless universe, and as deep and mysterious as blue.
Next to the Floating Skyship, Xu Fan also saw the Nine Great Guard Warships that protected the Floating Skyship. Each was about one-fifth the size of the Floating Skyship, and they were all mounted with various calibers of spiritual power huge cannons.
“A huge cannon warship, now this is a man’s romance.” As he was admiring, Xu Fan exclaimed. Just the diameter of the main gun was three meters, he wondered how powerful it would be.
“So, Junior Brother Xu shares the same view as me. This is what a man should master and refine.’
Sha Di appeared next to Xu Fan without him knowing when, looking at Xu Fan with admiration.
“Senior Brother Sha, I apologize for my earlier rudeness. I suddenly had an inspiration while talking, in order to record my thoughts, I had to …” Xu Fan explained his excuse.
“I understand, I understand. It’s really regrettable if you don’t grasp it when inspiration strikes.”
Sha Di patted Xu Fan’s shoulder, with an empathetic look, they were both people who abandoned pills in favor of artifacts.
With nothing else to do, Xu Fan started a conversation with Sha Di. For some reason, every time Xu Fan looked at Sha Di’s face, he had a very happy feeling. “By the way, Junior Brother Xu, can you share your latest inspiration?”
“Maybe after discussing it, your idea will become more comprehensive.” Sha Di said hopefully.
“Well, it’s nothing really.” Xu Fan started to draw a complete rune array in the air using his finger as a pen.
What Xu Fan was never short of was inspiration and unconventional ideas, this was a wireless communication rune array.
“Resonance Runes, Sound Transmission Runes, Light and Shadow Runes,
Secret Runes…….”
Sha Di stroked his chin and began to ponder over the function of this rune array.
“Junior Brother Xu, if I’m not mistaken, you want to make an artifact that can communicate remotely.”
“However, due to restrictions, these two artifacts can only communicate at a maximum distance of 100 kilometers. If it borrows the power of the Outer Sect’s Big Formation, it can indeed cover the entire Outer Sect.”
“It’s all the most common runes, the simplest spirit iron can load them, so it has a big potential in terms of cost.”
Listening to Sha Di’s evaluation, a flash of brilliance appeared in Xu Fan’s eyes; this Senior Brother Sha was really skilled.
At this time, Sha Di felt a little disappointed. The Junior Brother in front of him had such a big reaction, but the inspiration turned out to be this. Apart from the cost and ordering of the runes, the rest was pretty average.
“Senior Brother Sha, I’m not done yet.” As Xu Fan spoke, he added another miniature base station function to the outer ring of the rune array he had formed.
“This is…….
Looking at the outer ring rune that Xu Fan added, Sha Di became serious because he could hardly understand the arrangement of this outer ring rune.
Xu Fan didn’t bother about Senior Brother Sha, instead, he walked to the head of the ship and began to admire the Endless Sea.
He had long yearned for this place. Endless resources, all kinds of rare and exotic treasures that cannot be seen outside, and more importantly, various materials from the flesh of beasts whose cultivation had reached beyond the Integration Stage.
These things were hard to see in the outside world..
