Chapter 729: High-Quality Celestial Tools

Two years later, the people and spirits in the main peak’s dojo began to wake up one after another.

Although those who woke up didn’t see an increase in their cultivation levels, their auras had become more infused with the charm of immortals.

Han Feiyu woke up, and a virtual image of a sword formation formed around him before returning to his body.

Mysteries of swordsmanship flowed in his eyes, and many things that once confused him became clear and coherent.

Han Feiyu felt that his Sword Formation Path had advanced to a new level.

However, when he looked around, he noticed that most of his senior brothers were still asleep, which slightly dampened his joy of progression.

Understanding the Dao, while related to one’s comprehension, always benefits from spending more time in enlightenment.

“If I stay in the sect forever, what’s the difference from not understanding the Dao at all?” Han Feiyu thought as he left.

“Feiyu, come to my courtyard,” Xu Fan’s voice echoed in Han Feiyu’s ears.

In the courtyard, Xu Fan was basking in the sun, looking relaxed and carefree.

“Master Ancestor,” Han Feiyu greeted respectfully.

“I called you here to ask if you have any high-quality celestial tool-level spirit ore.”

“You’re blessed with fortune and have many things; even I can’t compare to you,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Han Feiyu was surprised; this was Xu Fan actively asking him for something.

“Of course, Master Ancestor won’t take it without giving you something in return. I’ll exchange them for Contribution Points.”

“The celestial tool-level spirit ore the sect can collect is all very basic; it can only be used to craft the simplest celestial tools.”

“How can that be worthy of the title of artifact great master? So, I wanted to see if you had anything better,” Xu Fan chuckled.

He spoke the truth; the Hidden Spirit Sect’s treasury mostly contained basic celestial tool-level spirit ore, which was fine for making simple celestial tools, but for anything more advanced, higher-quality spirit ore was needed.

In the entire cultivation world, only his good grandson would be able to provide such items.

“Master Ancestor didn’t mean it that way,” Han Feiyu quickly took out many celestial tool-level spirit ores for Xu Fan to choose from.

“Sky Black Gold, Sun Erosion Holy Sand, Dragon Heart Stone, Mysterious Flame Divine Fire…” For a moment, Xu Fan was dazzled by the options, and a thought crossed his mind: It would be great if that jade gourd belonging to his good grandson was his.

As soon as this thought arose, a chill ran through his heart and spread through his body, cooling Xu Fan down.

This troublesome Dao was trying to trap him again.

Xu Fan selected a few fire attribute celestial tool spirit ores, enough to craft a celestial tool.

“I’ve asked Grape to transfer the points to you. Whenever you need a celestial tool or want to customize one, just go to the treasury or inform Grape,” Xu Fan said.

“Master Ancestor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Han Feiyu said.

Xu Fan nodded and asked Grape to notify First Clone to come over.

After Han Feiyu left, Second Clone arrived via teleportation through Grape.

He laid out the few celestial tool-level spirit ores he had just obtained.

“Crafting a fire attribute Immortal Sword or a Divine Fire Gourd would be a good choice,” Second Clone remarked, eyeing the celestial tool-level spirit ores.

“The fire attribute is quite domineering; making a blade is also a good option,” said Second Clone.

“How about crafting a Divine Fire Gourd instead? Swords and knives are a bit dull,” Xu Fan pondered and then suggested.

“Alright, I’ll team up with Second Clone for three days to craft it for you.”

After First Clone spoke, he departed with the spirit ore and Second Clone.

“It’s been a while since I felt this good; having clones is truly delightful,” Xu Fan remarked with a smile.

At that moment, Grape informed him that Li Chufan wished to see him.

“Send him in.”

Shortly after, a beam of light descended into the courtyard.

“Greetings, Master Ancestor,” Li Chufan said, bowing.

“Good, your mind is steady and your cultivation is progressing smoothly. It seems you’re getting the hang of it,” Xu Fan complimented.

He could easily discern whether someone had been practicing diligently or cutting corners.

“I’m deeply grateful, Master Ancestor. If you hadn’t advised my father in time, I might have strayed from the right path,” Li Chufan admitted with a touch of fear.

“It’s my duty. You’re talented and hardworking; how could I or your parents let you ruin your life over such matters?” Xu Fan chuckled.

“Master Ancestor, I’ve come to ask a favor,” Li Chufan said, presenting the Heavy Water Source Blade.

Upon seeing the Heavy Water Source Blade, a nostalgic look appeared in Xu Fan’s eyes.

Back then, the sect was poor, and the only celestial tool they had was brought by a disciple’s wealthy lady friend.

During critical times in the sect, they had to share the Heavy Water Source Blade.

“Is it because the Heavy Water Source Blade no longer aligns with your current path?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

Li Chufan nodded.

“I had planned to address this, but an unexpected event left me dormant for a thousand years.”

“Leave the Heavy Water Source Blade with me for now. When your First Clone or Second Clone Master Ancestor has time, they can upgrade it,” Xu Fan suggested.

“Thank you, Master Ancestor.”

“No need for thanks; it’s only right,” Xu Fan waved his hand, having genuinely forgotten about it.

“Master Ancestor, could you grant me two more spots at the Five-Color Mountain Peak for cultivation?”

“I feel I’m on the verge of breaking through to the Overcoming Tribulations stage,” Li Chufan stated.

“Ask your father for the spots. He doesn’t need them, but if you’re aiming to break through to the Overcoming Tribulations stage, you should cultivate for another thousand years,” Xu Fan advised.

“Your foundation isn’t solid enough now; rushing to break through could mean losing your chance to reach the invincible realm later.”

“Your current path isn’t at its peak yet. The spiritual energy nurtured by your true spirit isn’t high enough, and more importantly, your fighting strength needs improvement.”

“In other sects, you’d be considered a genius, but in my eyes, you’re just average. Look at your peers; they’re all working hard.”

“In a few thousand years, anyone could surpass you, and you’ll regret it,” Xu Fan warned.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Li Chufan scratched his head in confusion, growing more agitated as they spoke.

“Focus on high-quality cultivation. There’s nothing urgent in the sect that requires you to break through,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand to dismiss Li Chufan.

“There’s no need to force a breakthrough. When you do, the rewards will be significant,” Xu Fan smiled.

“Grape, any updates from Pang Fu recently?” Xu Fan inquired.

“Everything’s normal. Two Star Ships were attacked by the beast race while mining in the inner area, but they only suffered minor damage and have since been repaired,” Grape reported.

“Good to hear.”

Just as Xu Fan was considering his next move, Grape received a message.

“Master, Elder Ming Kong has located the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation and invites you to the Elder Council headquarters to discuss the details.”

“Looks like my break is over,” Xu Fan said as he stood up.

“Grape, let’s teleport back to Lin Sen Fairy City first.”
