Chapter 298 - 271: Melting Tower
Xu Fan bid farewell to his good big brother Ning Dao and brought the Sea King Trident to the underground space.
The first Avatar, who was refining a Dao artifact, suddenly felt a sense of
boredom in life when he saw the Sea King Trident.
“Master, please take me back, I don’t think life has much meaning.” The first Avatar said.
Xu Fan looked at the expression of his first Avatar and regretted not making it an absolutely rational type, feeling that emotions were definitely the first obstacle to work, but fortunately, Xu Fan was prepared.
“Number One, I’ll teach you a Divine Ability later, you practice it, and when you’re refining artifacts in the future, you just activate the Divine Ability.”
“‘Selflessness’ can keep you absolutely rational when refining magical treasures. When you’re not refining, just remove the Divine Ability and let your True Self return.”
“By that time, you can read novels when you want to, and watch dramas when you want to, isn’t that great?”
Xu Fan said and took out a Jade Slip to give to the first Avatar.
“Really?” The first Avatar asked, half believing and half doubting.
“Of course, it’s true.” Xu Fan affirmed.
Seeing that the first Avatar agreed, Xu Fan felt a little relieved; although, it was easy to re-cultivate an Avatar, all the experience and feedback from the original Avatar’s many refinings would be wasted.
As the refining feedback accepted by the first Avatar increased, it also underwent significant changes.
In Xu Fan’s perception, the first Avatar was becoming more and more conscious, but it was all under his control.
This was the main reason why Xu Fan didn’t want to eliminate the first Avatar.
“Alright, the spiritual mine purchased by the Chamber of Commerce has arrived, I’ll handle it. When you finish refining this artifact, you’ll practice this magical power.” Xu Fan said.
“Go ahead, you black-hearted capitalist.” The first Avatar snorted coldly.
Under the Refining Equipment Peak, Senior Brother Sha was waiting in a plaza.
Xu Fan brought the spiritual mine delivered by the Chamber of Commerce disciples and found Senior Brother Sha.
“Great Master, I’ve refined a lot of the basic components for the Sea Boat. Now I’m just waiting for you to smelt the Dao Artifact Alloy.” Senior Brother Sha said with a smile.
“Haha, sorry to keep you waiting, Senior Brother Sha. I’ll start refining now.” Xu Fan laughed.
Since a few of the precious spiritual mines required for the Melting Tower were not easy to come by, they only arrived now.
“Great Master, do you need help?” Senior Brother Sha inquired.
“No need, the Melting Tower is just a fifth-grade Treasure Artifact, no need to bother.” Xu Fan waved his hand and said.
Sun Essence Iron, Soul Iron, Red Flame Copper, Earth Element Crystal, Five Elements Spiritual Fire…
Xu Fan displayed all the materials.
At this moment, Senior Brother Sha had already entered learning mode, showing the appearance of a good student.
As Xu Fan’s hands conjured five Spiritual Fires, he began his unique artifact refining technique.
Ordinary and unremarkable, the sight made Senior Brother Sha feel that he could do it too.
However, Senior Brother Sha knew that this was the terrifying aspect of Xu Fan’s artifact refining.
Five days later, an 88-meter tall, 20-meter wide black giant tower with corresponding alloy inlets for the Dao Artifact alloy appeared. The tower door was the outlet.
As a ray of spiritual light flashed, the Melting Tower formed.
Senior Brother Sha circled the Melting Tower a few times and clicked his tongue, saying, “Under Great Master’s ordinary refining technique, there must be a hidden unparalleled refining secret.”
“Great Master, am I right?” Senior Brother Sha put his face close to Xu Fan’s and asked.
“Senior Brother Sha, with our relationship, wouldn’t I teach you if I had such a secret? You’re overthinking it.” Xu Fan laughed.
He didn’t lack artifact refining secrets, but he was too lazy to use them. Some refining techniques were only suitable for some Treasure Artifacts and not all of them, so Xu Fan never used them.
Senior Brother Sha returned a disbelieving look that made Xu Fan quite helpless.
“Senior Brother Sha, the Melting Tower has corresponding inlets. When refining the Sea Boat, you can just put the spiritual minerals directly in and smelt the Dao Artifact Alloy.”
Xu Fan said as he waved out all the materials needed to refine the Dao Artifact Alloy and put them into the inlets. Then, under the control of Pu Tao, he mobilized the spiritual Qi in the Gathering Spirits Array to activate the Melting Tower.
In no time, the golden alloy liquid began to flow out of the outlet of the Melting Tower and entered the specially cooled molds to take shape.
“With this production rate, we’ll be able to refine all the Dao Artifact Alloy needed for the Sea Boat in just 10 years,” Xu Fan said.
“In 10 years, I reckon I’ll just have finished refining the skeleton,” Senior Brother Sha said.
“No worries, take it slow. After all, the refined Dao Artifact Alloy won’t be wasted,” Xu Fan said.
“That’s right, within a hundred years, 1 1 m determined to refine a Sea Boat.” With great ambition, Senior Brother Sha felt closer to his dream than ever.
“Thank you, Great Master.”
“What’s there to thank for? The Sea Boat you’ll refine will still serve the Sect.” Xu Fan said as he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Senior Brother Sha. “Before refining the Sea Boat, I think Senior Brother Sha should first refine a few small Sea Boats to practice.”
Senior Brother Sha took the Jade Slip and saw three types of small Sea Boats inside, which could only withstand the attacks of Integration Stage demonic beasts.
“Great Master, do you think so little of me? I can refine one of these small Sea Boats in two years,” Senior Brother Sha said.
“Alright, I want three of each kind,” Xu Fan said.
“Is this small Sea Boat useful, Great Master? It can only adventure in the nearby sea areas.”
“It is useful.’
Then Xu Fan told him the story of the Nine Phoenix Pavilion, with some changes.
“So that’s how it is. Since it’s related to the Sect’s future plans, I’ll take on this job,” Senior Brother Sha said, looking at the design drawings of the three small Sea Boats in the Jade Slip.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Sha,” Xu Fan nodded.
After receiving a little bit of energy from the Qi Fortune, Xu Fan began to value the Nine Phoenix Pavilion more and even planned to set up a teleportation array to connect to the Pavilion.
While Xu Fan was chatting with Senior Brother Sha, Ning Dao came to Xu Fan’s side.
“Great Master, your beloved disciple has been captured by Su Elder’s master.”
“You’re supposed to redeem her.”
Xu Fan was shocked, not knowing that his disciple had been captured.
At this moment, Xu Fan received a message from Li Xingci.
“Master, I am safe. I am trapped in the Reincarnation Avatar, so there is no need to worry.”
“It’s fine. The one caught by Elder Su l s master is your Avatar, Brother Ning.
Thank you for your concern.” Xu Fan expressed his gratitude.
“Avatar?”
“Amazing, I didn’t expect your disciple’s Divine Ability to deceive even the Mahayana Esteemed One,” Ning Dao said in amazement.
“Perhaps the Esteemed One let Star Ci off intentionally.” After Xu Fan finished speaking, he bid farewell to the two and returned to his small courtyard, as there was something he needed to confirm.
Back in the small courtyard, Xu Fan immediately communicated with Li Xingci using the Communication Magical Weapon.
“Master, I am in Illusion Sea Immortal City.” Li Xingci’s voice came through the communication device.
“I’m not asking about that, what’s going on with your Reincarnation Avatar?”
Xu Fan asked seriously..
