Chapter 37: One-Time Magical Artifacts
Xu Fan returned to his mountain and noticed the Cloud Flower Deer pacing near the protective barrier.
After returning from the secret realm, Xu Fan had allowed the Cloud Flower Deer to roam freely in the mountains. To ensure its safety, he had crafted a special magical artifact for the deer, making it nearly impossible for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to catch it.
“Ying Ying~~”
“You missed me,” Xu Fan said with a smile, patting the Cloud Flower Deer’s head. He checked the Beast Control Ring and was relieved to see it was intact.
Though fierce beasts roamed the mountains, they posed no threat to the Cloud Flower Deer.
The deer looked at Xu Fan and then glanced at the bag hanging around its neck, signaling him to open it.
“Wow, you’ve already finished the 200 Spirit Grain Pills I made for you?” Xu Fan said, noticing the empty bag.
At that moment, a three-colored spiritual light shone on Xu Fan, instantly easing his fatigue from long hours of work and refreshing his spirit.
“Not bad, you’ve awakened a talent skill,” Xu Fan praised.
“Ying Ying~~”
The Cloud Flower Deer lifted its head proudly.
Xu Fan led the deer into the courtyard.
“Spirit Rain Technique, Spirit Bird Technique.”
First, he watered the spirit fields that had been neglected for over two months. Although he had set up a magical artifact to periodically cast the Spirit Rain Technique, the several acres of spirit fields still looked somewhat withered.
“Looks like this year’s harvest will be halved,” Xu Fan muttered, shaking his head.
He fetched the Spirit Grain Pills he had prepared earlier from the alchemy room for the Cloud Flower Deer and took out a beast collar made of eighteen small metallic flowers from his collection room, placing it around the deer’s neck.
“Little Flower, if you’re in danger, break one of the bells.”
“If you can’t escape, break all the bells. As long as you’re within the sect, no one will dare harm you,” Xu Fan instructed.
The Cloud Flower Deer gave Xu Fan a disdainful look before darting out of the protective barrier.
“What’s that look for? Don’t blame me if you end up as a feast,” Xu Fan said. Just then, a three-colored light shot toward him.
A Giant Shield instantly appeared in front of Xu Fan, blocking the light.
“Ha, I’m being too cautious,” Xu Fan said, scratching his head. It turned out to be a buff spell.
“Ha~~”
Xu Fan yawned, feeling drowsy. He hadn’t yet reached the stage of no sleep or hunger in the Qi Training Stage.
“Rest, rest. My life’s more important.”
After returning to his cozy spot, Xu Fan drifted into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, far away, one hundred thousand miles from Que Tian Gate,
Wang Yulun and Murong Qianer were working together to eliminate a group of beasts that had crossed over from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts.
“Qianer, once we finish this mission, we’ll have enough contribution points to exchange for the Wan Yu Spirit Fetus Pills,” Wang Yulun said, controlling the Thousand Blades flying sword to cut down the surrounding beasts, which were only at the Qi Training Stage.
Murong Qianer’s two Heart Printing flying swords darted like two strange flying snakes, specially designed to kill peak Qi Refinement beasts.
With the combined efforts of the couple, nearly a hundred beasts quickly dwindled to just over ten.
“Husband, why don’t we keep the contribution points to help you improve your Foundation Establishment level?” Murong Qianer said reluctantly, having just discovered that she was pregnant.
“It’s difficult to achieve a first-grade Foundation Establishment.”
“With my current foundation, achieving a second-grade Foundation Establishment is still possible. When our baby is born, we can have them take Big Brother Xu as their master.”
“Our child will definitely be a genius.”
Just as Wang Yulun spoke, another wave of beasts charged towards them.
All the beasts showed a savage, bloodthirsty look in their eyes, clearly indicating they had been controlled.
“Qianer, be careful; there are Foundation Establishment beasts among this group.”
Wang Yulun’s expression turned serious; if there were more than two Foundation Establishment beasts, they would be in danger.
A light yellow spirit bird flew towards Murong Qianer, landing on her shoulder and chirping sweetly.
“Husband, there are three Foundation Establishment beasts. What should we do?” Murong Qianer’s expression turned grave.
“We can’t retreat. The other brothers are guarding at several other nodes. If we fall here, all the efforts of nearly a hundred brothers over the past half month will be wasted.”
Wang Yulun gritted his teeth and pulled out a large sphere covered in bright red runes from his storage ring. The size was similar to a wine jar; he bought this life-saving magical artifact from Xu Fan for ten thousand spirit stones to deal area damage to Foundation Establishment beasts.
At the time, Xu Fan said it was a friend’s price, just the cost price.
“Husband, that costs ten thousand spirit stones,” Murong Qianer said, looking at Wang Yulun.
“Spirit pills are more important; ten thousand spirit stones can’t buy Wan Yu Spirit Fetus Pills.”
Saying this, Wang Yulun pressed the top button of the sphere and forcefully tossed it toward the group of beasts a kilometer away.
“Goodbye, ten thousand spirit stones!” Wang Yulun silently thought, realizing that this included his 1,000 spirit stones of personal savings.
In mid-air, the sphere seemed to react, directly transforming into over a hundred smaller spheres that glimmered with red light, crashing down towards the beasts.
‘Boom!!’
The earth shook violently, a flash of white light illuminated the sky, followed by a thundering sound that echoed through the heavens.
At that moment, both Wang Yulun and Murong Qianer rubbed their eyes.
“Wow, Big Brother Xu didn’t mention this before,” Wang Yulun said, his eyes red.
But then he was stunned by the sight before him: a giant pit with a diameter of a hundred meters appeared not far away.
“Why is this different from what Big Brother Xu said? Aren’t they supposed to deal area damage to Foundation Establishment beasts?” Wang Yulun muttered, feeling that this ten thousand spirit stones were worth it.
Just then, their identity tokens chimed with an inquiry.
“Little Wang, Little Qian, what’s the situation over there? Is something wrong?”
“No problem; there are just three Foundation Establishment beasts. In desperation, I used a one-time magical artifact.”
“Can this be reimbursed when we return?”
“Did you take out the three Foundation Establishment beasts?”
“They have been eliminated.”
“That one-time magical artifact is so powerful! How many spirit stones did it cost? I want to buy some too, as for reimbursement…”
The voice from the token paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, “You wish!”
“………”
After hanging up, Wang Yulun sighed, “If only Big Brother Xu were at the Battle Hall, those three Foundation Establishment beasts wouldn’t stand a chance.”
“Each person has their own ambitions; don’t just lament. You’ve been learning from Big Brother Xu for so long, and it seems you haven’t even learned half of his fighting strength.”
“You can’t compare yourself to a monster.”
“I’m already quite strong,” Wang Yulun replied somewhat unsatisfied, but deep down he knew that he’d be lucky to have even thirty percent of Big Brother Xu’s fighting strength.
“Alright, husband, you’re impressive. When we return, challenge Big Brother Xu once more.”
“Do you think you can last for three breaths of time?” Murong Qianer said with a smile, knowing that if Xu Fan were willing to step up, he could become a presence that intimidates an entire generation.
“Don’t underestimate me; I can definitely last five breaths,” Wang Yulun shouted.
