Chapter 295: The Celestial Tool Lacking a Blade
Xu Yuexian, now with clear eyes, felt a bit dazed but soon became excited again.
"This energy is quite strong," Xu Fan said, furrowing his brow.
"Master, did I fall for another trick? I hope it didn’t bring any loss to the sect," Xu Yuexian said, glancing at her space ring.
"Not bad. After getting hooked, you’re still thinking about the sect and me. That shows you have a heart," Xu Fan replied with a smile.
It was like being caught in a pyramid scheme but still wanting to share the wealth; Xu Fan couldn’t muster any blame towards her.
Suddenly, Xu Yuexian mysteriously said to Xu Fan, "Master, we hit the jackpot this time!"
As she spoke, she took out several celestial tool accessories and, after a few adjustments, a celestial sword lacking a blade appeared before Xu Fan.
"I encountered that celestial shop connecting to the upper realm again, and they were selling Good Fortune Bags. This time, they said it involved celestial tools."
"When I realized it was likely a scam, I thought I’d give it a try, and surprisingly, the first item I received was celestial tool parts. After that, I might have gotten hooked," Xu Yuexian said, gazing at the celestial sword.
"But it shouldn’t be considered a total loss."
Xu Fan’s eyes sparkled as he examined it closely. After a moment, he sighed lightly and said, "On the surface, it seems like you gained something, but in reality, you’ve lost a lot."
"If nothing unexpected happened, you traded everything you brought with you for this incomplete celestial sword," Xu Fan asked.
Xu Yuexian scratched her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and replied, "When I saw the celestial tool, I just couldn’t help but want to acquire it."
"This celestial tool is a defective product, and its power resembles that of a Quasi-Immortal artifact. Now that it’s missing a part, even if it’s reforged, it will only result in a Dao tool at best."
"Refining this thing is much harder than refining an ordinary Dao tool."
Xu Fan’s hand glowed with golden light as he gently touched the surface of the celestial tool.
The broken celestial sword illuminated numerous tiny patterns, revealing celestial scripts.
"See? This celestial sword is already useless," Xu Fan remarked.
"I see. I won’t trust them anymore," Xu Yuexian said dejectedly, having spent all her wealth only to end up with a flawed celestial tool.
"It’s fine; it’s just your entire fortune. If you need anything, just go to the treasure vault," Xu Fan reassured her.
"For any magical treasures you need, go find your First Master in Volcano Fairy Town," Xu Fan added.
Xu Yuexian nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Master, how is the fourth junior brother doing?" Xu Yuexian asked with concern.
"Well, it should be quite tough for him now, but it’s okay. The things I gave him are about to be activated," Xu Fan said. He had recently performed a divination for Li Xingci, who now seemed to be playing a survival game with a group of people.
"That’s good to hear. It has been a long time since I received any news from the fourth junior brother."
"Don’t worry about him. Your fourth junior brother at least has a cultivation partner now."
"I’m a bit worried about you, though," Xu Fan said with a meaningful glance.
Xu Yuexian was taken aback, not understanding why her master suddenly brought this up.
"I’ve been reading numerous biographies of ascended seniors lately."
"I discovered that those single cultivators face more tribulations than those with families, and overcoming tribulations is tougher for them," Xu Fan said thoughtfully.
Thinking back to her past life when she was still single at an older age, Xu Yuexian often heard her parents say something similar.
“Being single at an older age and not finding a partner must mean there’s something wrong.”
“Master, these things are all about fate. I can’t help it if I haven’t found the right person,” Xu Yuexian said, shrugging. She really wasn’t interested in finding a cultivation partner.
“Besides, I have you, Master! No matter how big the tribulation, having you is enough,” Xu Yuexian quickly added, rushing over to Xu Fan to give him a back rub like an eager disciple.
“You’re always thinking about having me protect you from disasters, but you never think about getting something nice to show your gratitude,” Xu Fan said, enjoying the massage while speaking leisurely.
“Master, just tell me what you want, and I’ll go get it for you right away,” Xu Yuexian promised immediately.
“The colorful wood-scented pig from Tianmu Fairy City. I’ve heard it’s a rare delicacy in the central continent.”
“The top three exquisite wines from Jiuquan Fairy City.”
“The nine-tailed treasure fish from Haiyun Fairy City. Wait, no, that’s too hard. Let’s settle for the six-tailed one.”
“The holy heart fruit from Spirit Heart Fairy City.”
“The fruit-scented…”
Xu Fan listed off items without even pausing to think.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuexian’s face grew more and more troubled as she realized how difficult it would be to gather all these things.
“Master, who told you about all this?” Xu Yuexian asked through gritted teeth.
“Oh, this was sent by the communication artifact this morning,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand to project the message into the sky.
“Go get them! If you’re short on spirit stones, take them from the treasure vault.”
“Also, your shoulder massage is really unprofessional,” Xu Fan added, waving his hand dismissively.
“Master, if you want all these things, I won’t be back for at least ten years!” Xu Yuexian said, tears welling up in her eyes. Just the six-tailed treasure fish alone was a once-in-a-century find.
“Oh, I see. Get going, then,” Xu Fan urged.
“Don’t come back to the sect until you’ve got everything.”
“Master, I’m leaving now~~”
Xu Fan watched as Xu Yuexian transformed into a beam of light, murmuring to himself, “I wonder what kind of surprise she’ll bring back for me.”
He hadn’t just randomly sent Xu Yuexian off to collect those items. Each of those fairy cities had resources that were tied to his disciple.
At that moment, Xu Fan felt a sudden impulse, and a memory from the past surfaced in his mind.
“The promise I made back then should have been fulfilled by now,” Xu Fan said, calculating the time with his fingers.
In the Void Realm, at a blacksmith shop in a small town, Li Xingci was holding a hammer, crafting a battle knife while an apprentice watched and learned.
A month ago, he and Su Rantian had been brought to this small town by a group of cavalry. Using his weapon-forging skills from a past life, he had opened a blacksmith shop there.
After finishing a sharp battle knife, Li Xingci handed the remaining work to his apprentice and went to the backyard to rest.
“Hubby, do you think this outfit I made for you fits well?” Su Rantian asked, holding up a white garment.
“Haha, no need to try it on; I’m sure it fits perfectly,” Li Xingci replied with a laugh.
Li Xingci sat down in a chair and poured himself a cup of cold tea.
“I didn’t expect leaving this world to be so simple. All you have to do is pass through the gate guarded by Nascent Soul stage beasts.”
“It’s a shame, though. As a mortal, even with a million warriors, it’s nearly impossible to challenge those Nascent Soul stage beasts,” Li Xingci sighed.
This world was quite small. Based on the map Li Xingci had seen, it was only the size of a single region in the central continent, but it had a population of over ten billion.
There were no nations here, just towns built by mortals to defend against the wild beasts roaming outside.
