Chapter 1048: Departing the Star Ship’s Small World

"Given the number of holy elixirs we need to refine, based on the alchemist’s rates, it will cost at least 15 to 20 crystals of Xuanhuang aura."

"Lately, we’ve scoured our Immortal Realm and the neighboring ones, but all the alchemists are fully booked."

"Some are even demanding exorbitant prices, asking for 50 crystals of Xuanhuang aura upfront."

"As for the recipes, two will suffice: the Xuanhuang Great Nourishing Holy Elixir and the Tianyuan Great Nourishing Holy Elixir, each requiring 100 pills."

"Refining them will take at least a thousand years." The elderly man with white hair grew increasingly worried as he spoke; indulging in the moment was easy, but making up for the deficits was a daunting task.

Upon hearing the elderly man’s words, Xu Fan first considered whether there was anything pressing in the sect that needed his attention.

"Brother, hand over the holy herbs and recipes you’ve prepared."

"Also, give me 10 crystals of Xuanhuang aura, and I’ll have the holy elixirs ready for you in a thousand years," Xu Fan said with a calm expression.

"Do you have an alchemist here, younger brother?" The elderly man with white hair suddenly became alert.

"If you trust me, Brother, don’t ask questions. Just come back for the holy elixirs in a thousand years," Xu Fan quietly passed up the chance to boast; with his good brother gone, he had learned the value of humility.

"Of course, I trust you! Even if I doubt myself, I must believe in my younger brother!" The elderly man exclaimed, pulling out a space ring and handing it to Xu Fan.

"I’ll take your word for it, and I’ll return to collect the items in a thousand years."

After seeing off his good brother, Xu Fan returned to a long-neglected alchemy hall in the underground space.

"Should I create a special clone just for alchemy?" Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

"No, I’ve already split off two original clones. To create another, I’d need to reach the Golden Immortal level; otherwise, it could damage my foundation," Xu Fan dismissed the idea.

"Ordinary pills can be handled by a temporary clone."

"Only for such divine elixirs do I need to take charge personally," Xu Fan stated, retrieving an alchemy furnace, a celestial tool.

"Let’s start with the Xuanhuang Great Nourishing Holy Elixir to get a feel for it," Xu Fan said, gently pointing at the alchemy furnace.

Heaven’s Heart and Earth’s Flame holy fire ignited within the furnace.

"Grape, infuse Xuanhuang aura for me, maintaining it at one crystal for 200 years," Xu Fan instructed, noting that the Xuanhuang aura required to sustain the alchemist’s realm was significantly less than that needed by the Divine Craftsman.

"Understood, Master," Grape’s voice responded.

Xu Fan immersed himself completely in the refinement process. This was his first attempt at refining an alchemist-level holy elixir, so he needed to focus intently to avoid any mishaps.

……

Twenty years flew by. In the passage from Tianguan Immortal Realm to Chihuang Immortal Realm, a Star Ship was swiftly navigating.

Inside the Star Ship’s luxurious small world, Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie were deeply engrossed in a fierce sparring session.

Wave after wave of sword formations clashed in the void, both employing their most potent swordsmanship techniques, the clashing sounds of swords echoing continuously.

Finally, both unleashed their ultimate moves, obliterating the protective formation of the sparring arena.

Drained of spiritual energy, the two lay gasping on the arena floor.

They then struggled to their feet, picked up their now uncontrollable Immortal Swords, and approached each other.

The two resumed their sparring with mundane techniques until their stamina was completely depleted, leaving them half-conscious on the arena floor.

At this moment, the maids stationed around the arena quickly approached, carrying two stretchers toward the sparring ground.

“The two masters are pushing themselves too hard; they fight each other with all their might every once in a while,” the leading maid said, looking at the two who were covered in wounds with some pain.

“Quickly carry the two masters to the healing sacred spring. If we delay the evening banquet, even if the masters don’t blame us, we will be held accountable when we return to the headquarters,” another maid said.

“Right, let’s move a bit faster.”

Gentle power enveloped Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie and lifted them onto stretchers.

They were then swiftly taken to the healing sacred spring.

In the healing sacred spring, the two slowly regained consciousness.

“I won’t fight with you anymore; we are from the same master and sect. Fighting back and forth, even if it means risking our lives, isn’t worth it,” Jian Wujie sighed.

“I actually find this quite fun. At least each time we spar, we improve to some extent,” Han Feiyu said, leaning back against the edge of the spring, submerging his lower body in the warm water.

“You don’t care about the Immortal Jade? It costs over a million Immortal Jade just to soak in this healing sacred spring; why not save it for something better?” Jian Wujie said, lying at the edge of the healing spring.

“You’re worried about my Immortal Jade? Isn’t it better to take advantage of me while you’re by my side?”

“We’re brothers who risk our lives for each other, so don’t sweat the small stuff,” Han Feiyu rolled his eyes.

What he feared most was when his brothers and sisters advised him to save Immortal Jade and not waste it.

Just as Jian Wujie was about to say something else, the entire small world suddenly trembled.

The Star Ship, which was traveling at high speed, abruptly tossed the small world aside.

The small world fixed to the Star Ship was exposed in the star region.

Moreover, the star region where the small world was located belonged to a spatial storm zone.

At the moment the small world shook, Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie exchanged a glance.

A small spiritual boat appeared, and they quickly entered the boat.

At that moment, the small world began to collapse under the tugging of the spatial storm.

Over a hundred maids in the small world suddenly fell into a state of panic.

“Brother, what about those maids?” Jian Wujie exclaimed urgently.

“I know~”

Han Feiyu extended his hand, instantly drawing all the maids into the space celestial tool.

After doing this, the small world was completely torn to shreds by the spatial storm.

“The Star Ship abandoned the small world!!” Jian Wujie said.

“More like the small world has detached from the Star Ship,” Han Feiyu replied.

Just as they began to recover, such a drastic change occurred. Now in the spiritual boat, they thought they could finally relax.

“Indeed, the Master Ancestor’s gaze before departing had a special meaning.”

At that moment, the celestial tool spiritual boat resembled a small leaf in a raging sea, which could be crushed at any moment.

“Fortunately, we purchased the top-tier spiritual boat; it can handle the spatial storm in the star region without issue,” Han Feiyu said, feeling relieved.

Just then, Han Feiyu’s accompanying spirit sounded an alarm.

“Master, danger, danger! Please evacuate the area immediately!!” the spirit shouted frantically.

At that moment, a pair of eyes as large as stars suddenly opened beside the celestial tool spiritual boat.

Then a massive abyss appeared, capable of covering the entire spatial storm area.

In that instant, endless sharpness seemed to lock onto their spiritual boat, attempting to devour them.

Feeling the irresistible power emanating from the spiritual boat, Han Feiyu instantly produced a large teleportation compass in his hand.

“Abandon the celestial tool spiritual boat! Follow me!!”

Han Feiyu seized Jian Wujie, instantly appearing in the raging spatial storm.

A force of spatial power protected them as they vanished into the storm.
