“Junior, are you willing to take me as your master? You have the talent of an Artifact Refining Master.” The old man looked at Xu Fan and spoke gently.
Here we go again. Why do all these big shots like to take disciples? Am I that irresistible?
Hearing that his master was going to take Xu Fan as a disciple, Sha Yan immediately began winking and secretly transmitting a message to Xu Fan: “Junior Brother Xu, hurry up and agree. My master is an Artifact Refining
Master, even the Sect Leader has to maintain respect for him in the sect.”
“In the future, we will be fellow disciples.”
At this time, Xu Fan bowed to the old man.
“I don’t dare to hide it from the senior, I want to walk the path of Dual Cultivation of Pill and Artifact Refining. It might not be suitable to join your school,” Xu Fan said.
In the Cultivation World, Alchemy and Artifact Refining are mutually disdainful, but once they encounter a cultivator who deals with both Alchemy and Artifact Refining, they will form a united front unless they become masters in both disciplines.
“You are quite honest, young man. Let me ask you, between Alchemy and Artifact Refining, which one do you prefer?” The old man didn’t get angry, but asked with a smile. He could understand the youthful arrogance.
“I prefer Artifact Refining.” Xu Fan honestly replied.
“Are you willing to become my registered disciple, and I will give you the right to enter the Heavenly Refining Peak of the Inner Sect?”
“But if you want to focus solely on Artifact Refining, you can join my school.” The old man said again.
Xu Fan didn’t say anything but silently carved an extremely complex Rune
Array in the air. As someone with unparalleled talent, he had his own pride. Looking at Xu Fan’s carved Rune Array, a strange light flickered in the old man’s eyes.
“I understand what you mean, you may leave.”
“When you have time later, come find this old man to chat.” The old man took out a token and handed it to Xu Fan. This was the token to enter the Inner Sect.
“Thank you, senior.”
Xu Fan returned to the deck, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the giant deep-sea monster corpses that were occasionally dragged ashore.
“It really is, a huge profit from one cannon.”
“No wonder, the sect concentrated all its power back then, even eating coarse food just to buy the Floating Skyship.”
“Just hunting these giant monsters is worth it.”
At this moment, the entire Floating Skyship fleet slowed down. All warships retreated to both sides of the Floating Skyship, forming a cone shape, and the protective shields on the ship were fully opened.
“Encountering a sea beast tide ahead, no Mahayana Stage monsters, Battle
Level: B.”
Accompanied by the sound transmission of the entire fleet, the Floating Skyship had already accelerated to its maximum, leading the nine warships closely behind it, viciously colliding with the surging sea beast horde not far ahead.
“Damn, is this how the Floating Skyship is supposed to be used?” Xu Fan exclaimed.
Before Xu Fan could marvel again, the fleet and the sea beast tide collided violently.
With the tremor of the Floating Skyship, the surrounding sea area was also dyed red, and the broken bodies of sea beasts scattered all over the sea surface.
Like a cavalry confrontation, the entire Floating Skyship fleet turned around again, this time all the giant cannons on the warship auxiliary positions lit up. After a round of bombardment, the sea surface returned to calm.
At this time, some Nascent Soul Cultivators started to operate their giant net Magical Treasures to fish the corpses on the sea surface. The entire fleet stopped, and several teams of Golden Flame Birds patrolled in all directions from the Floating Skyship.
“Is it because we defeated the monsters that we’re going to look for treasure?” Xu Fan asked doubtfully.
At this time, Ye Xiaoyao came to Xu Fan’s side with a sword box on his back.
“Where monsters gather, there must be treasure. There are usually high-energy spirit mines.”
“If we’re lucky, we might even find ruins.” Ye Xiaoyao explained to Xu Fan with a smile.
“Ruins, there are still ruins here?” Xu Fan asked with doubt.
“Yes, some powerful cultivators would come to the Endless Sea when they ascend, to go through their final Immeasurable Calamity.”
“I see, so Brother Ye doesn’t have any tasks?”
“Oh, our team is in charge of guarding the Floating Skyship, we don’t need to go out. When a spiritual mine is discovered, the ship will sail directly towards
it.”
At this moment, the Floating Skyship slowly began to move, heading towards a certain direction.
Half an hour later, the Floating Skyship stopped above the sea surface. A Nascent Soul Cultivator came out from the top of the ship and directly threw out a giant Magical Treasure, landing on the sea surface.
As the Magical Treasure continued to expand, in a blink of an eye, a giant city appeared above the sea surface, as if fixed in the void, unaffected by any wave.
“Is this a city-type Magical Treasure?” Xu Fan asked, looking at the city wall that was at least twenty kilometers long.
“This is a Dao Tool of the cave mansion type. It seems we’ll be staying here for at least a month.”
With that, Ye Xiaoyao took Xu Fan and flew directly into the city.
“Little Fan, your Token can open the door of a small courtyard in Zhenhai City.
For the next month or so, you’ll be living here.”
“If you’re bored in the city, you can go out to hunt for treasures, or team up to hunt Demonic Beasts. If that doesn’t suit you, you can also take some alchemy tasks. ”
“Just don’t go more than a thousand miles away from Zhenhai City.”
After leaving Xu Fan in the city, Ye Xiaoyao left, as he had other tasks to attend to.
Standing on the main street of Zhenhai City, Xu Fan saw a great number of cultivators flying towards the city from the Floating Skyship.
“Forget it, let’s not worry about that. Time to find a place to stay.”
Following Ye Xiaoyao’s guidance, Xu Fan casually chose a small courtyard and settled down.
A day later, Xu Fan received news that beneath the Floating Skyship’s sea area, there was a huge Spirit Stone Vein containing countless high-quality Spirit
Stones. It was estimated to bring tens of billion spirit stones to the Heavenly Gate.
All the cultivators in the city were overjoyed, because even in the Endless Sea, such Spirit Stone Veins were quite rare.
“This Middle Thousand Worlds surely has abundant resources. The unit of Spirit Stones is in the billions.”
As Xu Fan walked down the street, wondering if he could come across something interesting, he ran into Sha Yan and her brother.
“Junior Brother Xu, would you be interested in opening an Artifact Refining Workshop with me? Just by repairing treasures for those fighting cultivators, we can earn tens of thousands of Spirit Stones within a month.” Sha Yan excitedly told Xu Fan.
Both he and Xu Fan were First-tier Artifact Refiners, who knows, together they might even forge high-quality Magical Treasures.
“If Junior Brother Xu doesn’t want to refine artifacts, you can go refine pills with me, and see many seabed Spiritual Medicines.” Sha Yan also invited Xu
Fan.
Just as Xu Fan was about to agree, a cougn Interrupted mm.
“Sha Yan, come here. Don’t hang around with those who refine artifacts.”
Xu Fan looked up and saw that it was Sha Yan’s father, Sha Jingtian, the Alchemist who had wanted to accept him as a disciple.
Sha Yan gave Xu Fan an apologetic look and obediently went to her father’s side, while her brother turned his head away, ignoring Sha Jingtian like an angry child.
“Alright, Senior Brother Sha, they’ve gone far away.” Xu Fan said.
Only then did Sha Yan’s brother turn his head back.
“Junior Brother Xu, are we doing this or not? It’s not like we have anything else to do.”
Sha Yan’s brother’s words convinced Xu Fan, and thus, a new shop called Stupid Sculpture Refining Workshop was added to Zhenhai City..
