BXBX NOVEL Chapter 305 - 378: Communication Between Artifact Refining Masters
When Xu Fan finished tidying up and was about to go with Li Xingci to see Master Su Rentian, Li Xingci stopped Xu Fan.
“Master, are you really planning to go there as yourself?” Li Xingci asked.
“This matter requires sincerity, 1 can’t just send a clone.” Xu Fan replied, his eyes shining. “If we have to fight, and I send a clone, people will think I’m a coward.’
“Master, your determination seems quite high.” Li Xingci commented, looking at Xu Fan’s momentum.
“You don’t understand, this time it’s all about momentum, so of course our determination must be higher.” Xu Fan explained.
“As for your wife’s Master, I’ve already investigated. When we go this time, we just need to focus on two words.”
“What two words?” Li Xingci asked, his blood already boiling.
“Not a coward!”
Aboard a spirit boat flying towards Linsen Immortal City, Xu Fan pondered what to say during the meeting.
“Master, aren’t you going to divine our fortunes?” Li Xingci asked, knowing his Master habits.
“No need, as long as there’s no risk to our lives, we’ll be fine.” Xu Fan waved it off.
The reason Xu Fan didn’t care and accompanied Li Xingci was that their meeting was to be held in the Elders Association headquarters, one of the places Xu Fan wanted to visit.
Supreme Immortal City was also the front station to enter the headquarters of the Elders Association.
As Xu Fan and Li Xingci stepped out of the teleportation array, Xu Fan squinted his eyes.
“This Immortal City is located in the Vast Void Domain, a star on our feet,” Xu Fan judged as he looked at the distant stars.
According to his calculations, this planet was slightly larger than Earth in his past life.
“What a grand design.” Xu Fan said, looking at the Rune Array that replaced the atmosphere, covering the entire star.
Soon, the two arrived at the top of a tall tower, which was the front station for teleportation to the Elders Association headquarters.
Below the tower, Xu Fan and Li Xingci were stopped by tower guards.
“The two of you do not have the authority to enter the tower, please leave,” the guard at the tower gate politely said.
“May I ask, how can one gain the qualification to enter the tower and teleport to the Elders Association headquarters?” Xu Fan asked with composure, unfazed by the challenge.
“If you are not a member of the Elders Association headquarters, you must at least be at the Integration Stage or be a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Beast Control, Formation, or a similar field,” the guard explained.
“How can one prove they are a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining?” Xu Fan politely asked.
“This Immortal City is the authoritative assessment organization of the Elders Association. They will issue proof there,” the guard said.
“Understood,” Xu Fan replied.
Xu Fan then led Li Xingci to the assessment location.
On the way, Li Xingci said, “Master, regarding today’s matter, I will seek an explanation from Tian’er’s Master.”
“Stay calm. Didn’t I tell you before, just repay what’s owed in kind.”
“If you act like this, you’ll be seen as inferior,” Xu Fan advised, smiling.
He wasn’t a vengeful person, but with an unlimited lifespan, there would always be opportunities to settle the score.
“Understood,” Li Xingci nodded, just wanting to reclaim justice for his Master.
Flying was not restricted in the city, as the entire planet was considered part of the Immortal City.
A simple spirit boat flew into the guarded area, as said by the tower guard.
Aboard the spirit boat, Xu Fan continued to look up at the Array in the sky.
“Master, what’s different about the Array in the sky?” Li Xingci asked.
“This is a fast-moving planet, and the most amazing thing is that the driving force of this planet comes from the Sun in the sky,” Xu Fan contemplated.
“What’s so difficult about that? The spiritual power our Sect’s puppets need also comes from the Gathering Spirits Array you made,” Li Xingci said, feeling that the two were equally amazing.
“No, it’s not the same. It involves a conversion rate problem, which I can’t get into right now… Never mind, you wouldn’t understand anyway. In short, the person who designed this Array is not inferior to me in terms of Rune Arrays,” Xu Fan said, looking at the Array in the sky.
According to his estimation, this Array could directly teleport the entire star into the depths of the Vast Void Domain, and more importantly, it could roam the corners of the Cultivation World like a star boat, without consuming spirit stones as long as there is sunlight.
At this moment, a volcanic mountain range appeared in front of the two. Above the mountains, a Phoenix made of Divine Fire spread its wings and soared.
“Divine Fire…” Xu Fan’s eyes were filled with longing.
There were different levels of Spiritual Fire, and with his current strength, Xu Fan could only use the lower level ones. As for the higher- grade Divine Fire, this was the first time he had seen it.
The value of Divine Fire was no less than that of Immortal Tools, and with his current wealth, it was still beyond his reach.
“Refining artifacts here should be faster,” Xu Fan considered, thinking about whether to send his First Clone here.
The two landed in front of the largest volcano, and the mountain gate slowly opened.
“Welcome the two fellow daoists to Fire Phoenix Mountain!”
“May I ask if the two fellow daoists are here to rent a Refining Room or to take an assessment?” The receptionist at the entrance asked.
“Refining Master assessment, and also, is the Alchemy Master assessment held here as well?” Xu Fan inquired.
“Yes, this is the Northern Region, Alchemy is held in the Southern Region.”
“Thank you, fellow daoist. Please take us to the Refining Master assessment area first,” Xu Fan politely said.
“Alright, fellow daoists, please follow me.” The receptionist took out a Puppet Carriage from his space ring.
On the carriage, the receptionist looked at Li Xingci and said, “I never thought that a fellow daoist so young would already be a Refining Master.”
The hint of flattery in his tone made Xu Fan feel a pang of jealousy. Li Xingci was about to defend himself but was stopped by Xu Fan’s gaze.
So what if he didn’t hide his cultivation? So what if his appearance was ordinary? Didn’t he deserve to be in the spotlight too?
The Puppet Carriage took them to the front of a grand hall.
“Fellow daoists, please wait a moment, we have informed the Hall Master, who is currently on his way,” the receptionist politely informed them.
As the number of Refining Masters in the entire Central Continent was limited, the Elders Association particularly valued the assessments for Refining Masters.
After a short wait, a short and thin old man arrived at the grand hall.
The moment the old man entered the hall and saw Xu Fan, his eyes shone, walking straight in front of him.
“I’ve heard of your great name for a long time, and now that we’ve met, it truly lives up to its reputation.”
“Great Elder of the Hidden Spirit Gate, please come in, you don’t have to take the assessment, I will give you the Refining Master token in a moment.” The old man enthusiastically said.
“Damn it, there’s really no privacy in this world.” Xu Fan cursed to himself.
Xu Fan and Li Xingci were led into the grand hall.
From inside the grand hall, the receptionist watched the two men’s retreating figures, unable to understand why the handsome one wasn’t the Grandmaster.
The old man led Xu Fan directly to his collection room.
“Hall Master, what is this?” Xu Fan asked.
“Oh, I forgot that you haven’t attended a Refining Master exchange meeting in the Central Continent yet.” The old man slapped his forehead and explained.
“In our Central Continent, Refining Masters have a rule: when meeting for the first time, let others look at and appraise the Dao Tools they have refined.”
The old man smiled..
