Chapter 820: A Little Drink

Above the Hidden Spirit Sect, on Bear Two’s cloud, Wang Yulun sat alone, leisurely fishing.

Xu Fan appeared behind Wang Yulun.

"This is a nice spot, but unfortunately, I can’t join you for fishing," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Then I guess I’ll stick to fishing at the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake," Wang Yulun replied, smiling.

"Where’s your adopted daughter?" Xu Fan asked.

"She probably went to the Extreme Void Domain to play with the unicorn snake," Wang Yulun chuckled, feeling a sense of joy at reuniting with Xu Fan.

"True, it would be boring for a little girl to sit around fishing with you every day," Xu Fan said, sitting nearby and gazing at Hidden Spirit Island and the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.

"Your eldest and second sons have both become Great Ascension Masters. As their father, you should keep up!"

Hearing this, Wang Yulun sighed helplessly.

"The technique you gave me is excellent, Big Brother Xu, but I just can’t seem to break through the bottleneck to the Great Ascension stage."

Xu Fan held out a jade plate.

"This is a technique I developed for you in my spare time, called ‘Wandering Through the Realms.’

"It combines elements of space, void, and stars. With this, you should be able to reach the Great Ascension stage soon," Xu Fan said with a smile.

As his closest friend, Wang Yulun deserved the best.

After taking the jade plate, Wang Yulun pulled out a stone sword.

"Big Brother Xu, this is made from the same material as the last batch of stone knives."

A stone sword marked with strange symbols appeared before Xu Fan.

Xu Fan examined it closely, a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Absolute spirit material, incredibly hard, impossible to refine, and even consciousness can’t penetrate it."

Xu Fan gave the stone sword a light swing toward the sky.

"It’s definitely not ordinary. Let’s store it for now; it might come in handy later."

A puppet appeared behind Xu Fan and took the stone sword.

"Place it in the deepest part of the treasure vault," Xu Fan ordered.

"Yes, sir," the puppet replied, flying off toward the Hidden Spirit Sect with the sword.

"I bought this celestial tool for you in the Ancient Cang Realm. With your current level and that set of celestial tools, you should be able to use it," Xu Fan said, pulling out five celestial tools: a sword, a bow, a knife, a hammer, and a flying fish shield.

"Big Brother Xu, I can’t use these celestial tools. I don’t need them," Wang Yulun said, deeply moved.

"Only someone like you would give away celestial tools so freely in the cultivation world."

"I’m not saying you should use them. They’re for your set of celestial tools, so you won’t be overshadowed when your son reaches the Great Ascension stage.

"Also, your son-in-law has already achieved Great Ascension-level fighting strength with his Controlled Puppet. If you don’t have something to hold your ground, you might be in trouble…" Xu Fan smiled, knowing he had his good brother right where he wanted him.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Wang Yulun fell into deep thought.

He then put away the five celestial tools.

"Big Brother Xu, you are truly too good to me!" Wang Yulun said, touched.

"We’re brothers, so no need for any formalities," Xu Fan replied, patting Wang Yulun’s shoulder as he began to fish alongside his good brother.

Until noon, Xu Fan was just about to ask Grape to bring some food up.

In the distance, a beam of light flew towards Bear Two’s cloud.

Li Chufan appeared on Bear Two’s cloud.

"Greetings, Master Ancestor," Li Chufan said hurriedly upon seeing Xu Fan.

"Get up; it’s nice to see you have the filial sense to bring food for your grandpa," Xu Fan said with satisfaction.

"Once, Chufan happened to fly over me, and since then, he has brought me food and drinks every meal."

"Having a small drink up here in the clouds feels really nice," Wang Yulun said as he took the food box and placed the food on a small table he set up.

He then pulled out two small jars of wine, one for Xu Fan and one for himself.

"Master Ancestor, Grandpa, I’ll take my leave now while you enjoy your drink," Li Chufan said.

"Go ahead, I’ll have a good time drinking with your grandpa," Xu Fan said, waving with a smile.

Li Chufan jumped down from the clouds and left.

"When he was little, he loved sticking to me, but now he’s grown up and less affectionate," Xu Fan chuckled.

"He is still as affectionate, but now that he has grown up, he understands the rules. Besides, with the aura you have, Big Brother Xu, even if you tone it down, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly," Wang Yulun laughed.

"Alright."

They poured their wine, clinked their cups together gently, and drank.

"I still miss the days when I brought a Spirit Goat to Big Brother Xu’s mountain," Wang Yulun reminisced.

"Ha! When you came over back then, I knew it was time to improve the meals."

"At that time, I couldn’t refine pills or craft artifacts; I only relied on the Small Spirit Rain Technique to grow more than ten acres of spirit rice," Xu Fan also recalled his early days of cultivation.

"I wasn’t wealthy back then either, so I felt a bit pained buying Spirit Goats and little spirit beasts."

Wang Yulun thought of the schemes he had played to learn Xu Fan’s renowned spells and couldn’t help but smile.

"So, were those spirit stones worth it in the end?"

"Although you still haven’t mastered the Flame Wind Wood Arrow technique, those two treasures of yours each inherited a lineage of thunder techniques from me," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"It’s my own fault, but my two sons are doing well."

The two clinked their cups for another drink.

At that moment, Xu Fan recalled his good brother’s experiences after having a partner and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Yulun."

"What?"

"If you had known back then that you had such a constitution, would you have looked for a cultivation partner so early?"

Xu Fan felt a bit envious as he thought of his good brother’s powerful constitution.

Wang Yulun, who had been pouring wine, paused, wearing a thoughtful expression.

His face shifted between joy and sadness.

Finally, he let out a sigh.

"Big Brother Xu is just joking with me again," Wang Yulun said with a faint smile, not directly answering the question.

The two clinked their cups again and looked at each other.

As men, everything is in the wine.

In the end, the two began to chat about all kinds of things.

Xu Fan shared his recent experiences, while Wang Yulun talked about the strange catches he had while fishing.

They continued their drinks until sunset.

"After hearing you, Big Brother Xu, I want to visit the star region," Wang Yulun expressed with longing.

"Nothing to it; the next time, you can just come along."

"And bring Xing with you; I guarantee we will traverse the star region," Xu Fan said with a laugh.

"I can do that. I’ll take Qianer and Linger to explore the star region, and it’ll be like a fun trip," Wang Yulun said, feeling excited.

"Since you want to go, I’ll arrange for Song Ming to prepare as soon as possible," Xu Fan said, directly instructing Grape to send a mission to Song Ming to prepare an expedition to the Ancient Cang Realm.

"No need to go through so much trouble; let’s just let things go naturally," Wang Yulun quickly replied, feeling he hadn’t contributed much in the sect and didn’t want to mobilize so many people.

"Whether we go now or later makes no difference; get ready, we’ll set off in half a year."
