BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 - 60: Zhu Jiao’s Jar
After Xu Fan finished sharing his myriad thoughts, Senior Brother Sha’s eyes sparkled so brightly that they almost blinded Xu Fan.
Is this what it looks like when one’s eyes are full of light?
“Junior Brother Xu, with your suggestions, our Communication Talisman can truly cater to the cultivators all over Xiangzhou.” Sha stupid said to Xu Fan. He was also using the first generation of Communication Talisman, even though it felt off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
“Besides, I think the shape of the Communication Talisman should be changed as well.”
Xu Fan cast a Light and Shadow Technique, and a classic model from his past life appeared in front of Sha stupid.
“This shape seems to be specifically designed for Communication Talisman, how did you think of it?” Sha stupid said excitedly. From the beginning, he felt that the circular Communication Talisman was not manly enough and not suitable for his steel Artifact Refiner style.
“Haha, I just thought of it,” Xu Fan said with a smile. They only have the basic functions now, but more features will be added later.
“Junior Brother Xu shouldn’t let your ideas go to waste. I’ll go ask Master for a reward later. Wait for me”, Sha stupid said and hung up the call. He probably went to find his master to make the changes.
“Should I tell them about the concept of call charges? They’re not thinking about earning Spirit Stones yet” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin. In the end, he decided not to interfere and mind his own business, considering that he hadn’t received any patent fees for the Communication Talisman, even though this world might not have this concept yet
After chatting with Senior Brother Sha, Xu Fan got up and went to the secret room below his small courtyard. No one but him had ever been to this place.
The secret room was almost 200 square meters, and the Light Illumination Technique on the ceiling made the room as bright as daylight.
More than half of the room was occupied by a miniature virtual city, with skyscrapers and bustling streets. The crowds symbolized the prosperity of the city.
Unlike before, the vehicles in the city followed the roads and even airliners flew across the sky. These were all created by Xu Fan after becoming an Artifact Refiner.
Looking at this virtual city, Xu Fan was lost in memories. He had been in this world for 14 years, and these 14 years only made him miss his past life even more.
From time to time, Xu Fan would come to look and add something according to the memories of his past life.
‘Boom,’ a ball of flame appeared.
Xu Fan casually threw some Spirit Iron Ore into the fire and began refining the model.
In a short time, several well-known luxury cars from his past emerged in mid-air. With the integration of several Runes, these miniature cars seemed to come to life.
He casually placed these luxury cars on the roads of the virtual city, and they started to drive on their own.
“I’m getting a bit sentimental. Anything is possible in this world, and I’ll find a way back eventually. Worrying now won’t help.”
Xu Fan said and left the secret room, because he sensed someone was coming.
As soon as he left the secret room, the Restriction bell rang.
It was Ye Xiaoyao, the protagonist whom Xu Fan least wanted to see. Ever since Wang Yulun blurted out that he was an Artifact Refiner, Xu Fan’s peaceful life had been broken.
“Little Fan, help your eldest brother this time. My Sword Cloud Soaring Dragon Formation is only lacking 36 Second-tier Treasure Flying Swords to be completed.”
“Could you spare some time to help refine some weapons for me, elder brother? I’ve not been able to defeat a Nascent Soul opponent lately, so please help me.” Ye Xiaoyao said with a pleasing tone.
In the past, as a Golden Core Cultivator without an Artifact Refiner friend, his days were pretty stifling. That’s because the Sword Dao handed down by his Grandpa belonged to the Sword Formation Sect, which was the most overbearing among Sword Cultivators. It was particularly brutal in terms of combat power, as it mainly depended on controlling multiple flying swords.
There was a drawback to the early stage of the Sword Formation Sect: the best flying swords have equal power and attributes, so custom-made flying swords were preferred.
After Ye Xiaoyao reached the Golden Core stage, he discovered an awkward phenomenon. Artifact refiners capable of refining Treasure Artifacts are the treasured assets of Sects, and most of them have their own missions. It was hard to find a qualified Artifact Refiner, but when he mentioned refining more than thirty Treasure Flying Swords, they all refused.
Since most of Ye Xiaoyao’s Spirit Stones were spent on buying flying swords, he was now a poor a*shole. So, when he found out that Xu Fan was an Artifact Refiner, he was overjoyed, knowing that he had a place to go for his future flying swords.
“Brother Ye, it’s not easy to help you refine 36 second-tier Treasure Artifacts with six types of attributes, let alone making sure the main sword material remains the same.”, Xu Fan shook his head and said.
Ye Xiaoyao’s request wasn’t really difficult, but the key issue was that this guy wanted the materials for free, which made Xu Fan feel somewhat annoyed. Last time, your combat power was reduced by half, and you didn’t compensate for it. Now you want to mooch off me?
Xu Fan felt insulted and thought the protagonist was on an increasingly shameless path.
Initially, the protagonist, who was a righteous person, seemed to be less and less decent with the presence of the Golden Finger Grandpa. He missed the protagonist, who offered benefits when they first met.
At this point, Ye Xiaoyao showed a difficult expression on his face, as he felt truly embarrassed asking Old Jian for a favor.
“Come on, do you still want to practice the Sword Cloud Soaring Dragon
Formation? Do you still want to kill that old silver coin Nascent Soul? ‘
“Cultivators should let go of everything. What does face mean? Can you eat it? ‘
“Besides, with my help in the future, it will be a small problem for you to ascend to the immortal world. Are you afraid you won’t be able to return your brother’s favor?”
Ye Xiaoyao clenched his teeth and took out a jar he discovered in the Ruins from his Space Ring. According to Old Jian, there was something good inside, which could be opened when he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
“Little Fan, I won’t let you work for nothing. I found this treasure in a ruin. There should be something important inside; now it’s yours.” Ye Xiaoyao said with some reluctance.
“Brother Ye, you’re too serious. Since it’s like that, just leave those 36 second-tier Treasure Flying Swords to me.”
“I’ll give you a list later. You just need to purchase the materials on it.”
Xu Fan naturally took the jar, his eyes gleaming. As soon as the jar came out, Xu Fan knew it was not simple. Unsurprisingly, just seeing the dense Rune Array on the jar with his Spirit Eye Technique made it worth Xu Fan’s effort.
“Sigh, it seems that you still haven’t learned the essence of interacting with people in the Cultivation World. Instead, your brother has a strong grip on you.”
A voice said in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.
If Xu Fan heard this, he would probably go berserk. Are you preaching the truth while mooching off others?
And every time I met you, you always made me suffer.
“Brother Ye, you can go back first. I will inform you tomorrow about the spiritual mine materials you need to buy.”
Actually, Xu Fan had already prepared a plan in his mind, but he didn’t want to appear too pushy just yet..
