Chapter 862: Primordial Celestial Sword Pill

“This method requires an artifact-level furnace combined with divine fire to melt the alloy; otherwise, I would have already handed the finished product to the Grand Elder,” Sha Diao remarked, observing the half-fused alloy.

Xu Fan stared at the unfinished alloy, his determination growing.

“If divine fire isn’t enough, I’ll make up for it with my powers. I refuse to believe this little alloy can stump me.”

Xu Fan formed seals with his hands, and a Holy Sun materialized behind him.

He then drew the unfinished alloy directly into the Holy Sun.

With a piercing phoenix cry, Xu Fan borrowed the core of the Phoenix Divine Fire and merged it with the Holy Sun above.

In that instant, two resounding cries echoed throughout the Hidden Spirit Sect.

All the disciples gaped in awe at the two Divine Beasts manifesting on the Grand Elder’s mountain.

The Phoenix and the Golden Crow coiled around the unfinished alloy at their center.

“The Great Furnace of Heaven and Earth!”

A colossal furnace enveloped both the Golden Crow and the Phoenix.

“True Fire of the Five Elements!”

“True Fire of the Sun!”

The furnace in the sky grew brighter under Xu Fan’s control.

The alloy inside began to dissolve gradually, reaching the state Sha Diao had described.

At that moment, Sha Diao pulled out a small piece of ordinary alloy and tossed it into the furnace above.

“We still need a bit of alloy as a catalyst,” Sha Diao said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the furnace.

The furnace in the sky continued its work for a full hour before Xu Fan finally obtained an alloy the size of a grinding stone.

Sha Diao circled the alloy gleefully.

“This doesn’t make sense. The alloy’s formation should have triggered a heavenly phenomenon.”

“Did it fail?” Sha Diao wondered aloud.

“I forgot to deactivate the Hidden Spirit Sect’s shield,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand to remove the protective barrier against Heavenly Way’s Will’s probing.

Instantly, a heavenly phenomenon manifested. A red beam of light shot toward the celestial tool alloy.

Then, multicolored rays of light descended from the sky, bathing Xu Fan in their glow.

However, Xu Fan casually redirected the light toward Sha Diao.

Xu Fan’s earlier actions could be seen as taking credit from Sha Diao, so the final divine merits and heavenly phenomena rightfully belonged to Xu Fan.

Fortunately, Xu Fan could communicate with Heavenly Way’s Will.

As the colorful rays illuminated Sha Diao, celestial jade meteors rained from the sky.

They eagerly flew into Sha Diao’s hands.

A divine fire phenomenon appeared in the sky, landing on Sha Diao before vanishing.

Then, the ethereal image of a celestial maiden appeared above, holding a qin and playing celestial music for Sha Diao.

This phenomenon lasted for a quarter of an hour before it subsided.

Sha Diao, looking at the Immortal Jade in his hand, excitedly said, “Can I now be considered an artifact great master?”

“Theoretically, yes, but you are even more important than an artifact great master,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

“Father, did you see that? Your son has become an artifact great master, standing at the peak of artifact crafting!” Sha Diao shouted excitedly at the sky.

Xu Fan watched as Sha Diao remained energetic. He took out the refined alloy in the underground space.

“Let’s see if this alloy can serve as the main material for filling Hidden Spirit Island,” Xu Fan said to avatars number one and two.

Avatar number one finished his tasks first and approached the alloy, examining it closely.

“If the cost is lower than that of the Xuan Crystal Divine Iron, it can be a substitute,” avatar number one said after testing the alloy’s properties.

“With the same volume, the cost of the alloy is half that of the Xuan Crystal Divine Iron.”

“Moreover, after refining a large celestial tool furnace, the melting speed will be several times faster than the previous furnace.”

“However, crafting this celestial tool furnace is a bit troublesome, but compared to those advantages, that’s a minor issue,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“If that’s the case, we can upgrade the entire Hidden Spirit Island in just over five hundred years,” avatar number two joined in.

“So you all need to pause your current work; it’s crucial to craft a large celestial tool furnace,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Have you considered that you might be able to craft this large celestial tool furnace all by yourself?”

“I see you haven’t crafted anything in a long time; don’t you feel a bit restless?” avatar number one asked, looking at Xu Fan, who seemed lazy.

Xu Fan thought for a moment and realized he had no pressing matters, so crafting a furnace wouldn’t be a big deal.

“Fine, leave this to me.”

“You guys speed up the crafting of the remaining parts. After upgrading Hidden Spirit Island, we’ll head to the Immortal Realm; it’s somewhat dangerous for Wang Xiangchi to be there on his own, relying on others,” Xu Fan said.

“Then why aren’t you moving faster?” avatars number one and two exchanged glances and rolled their eyes at Xu Fan.

And so, in the Artifact Hall of the underground space, there was now another Xu Fan.

In the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, Yun Qiu Immortal Domain.

At this moment, Wang Xiangchi sat cross-legged in the clouds, watching the beautiful scenery of the celestial mountains below, lost in thought.

Just then, a celestial crane landed beside Wang Xiangchi, holding a cluster of celestial spirit grapes in its beak.

The crane gently placed the grapes next to Wang Xiangchi before flying away.

A woman in a colorful dress gently leaned down and hugged him from behind.

“Husband, are you thinking about your master and your brothers?” the woman softly asked.

Wang Xiangchi nodded; although he had traveled far for training, he was still within the same realm.

But now, the two realms were separated, intensifying his feelings of homesickness.

“A few hundred years will pass quickly, and then you’ll be able to see your master and your brothers.”

“I haven’t thanked your master for saving my life,” Mu Dai said as she nestled next to Wang Xiangchi, wrapping her arm around his.

“I’m also glad to meet my wife here in the Immortal Realm,” Wang Xiangchi smiled at the little woman beside him, Mu Dai.

“My father learned about us, and he neither approved nor opposed it; before leaving, he gave me a Primordial Celestial Sword Pill,” Mu Dai said.

“A Primordial Celestial Sword Pill? What is that for?” Wang Xiangchi asked curiously, originally prepared for a long battle with his Great Luo father-in-law.

According to his master, as long as he was given enough time, his future father-in-law would eventually have to recognize him.

“It’s for re-cultivating the swordsmanship spirit body,” Mu Dai said, a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

In her past life, she particularly enjoyed the feeling of being protected by a peerless swordsman.

Now that she had met her husband, she hoped to be continuously protected.

Wang Xiangchi realized that she was expressing her dissatisfaction with his poor qualifications.

An exquisitely carved jade box appeared in Mu Dai’s hand.

Upon opening it, a Primordial Celestial Sword Pill with a spiritual sword virtual image emerged.

In an instant, a supreme sword intent radiated from the spirit pill, filling the air with a unique aroma.

Just by smelling the aroma of the pill, Wang Xiangchi felt a spark of understanding; if he were to cultivate at that moment, it would surely yield great results with little effort.

“Dai’er, this spirit pill is exceptionally precious; you should take it back.”

“My cultivation path has been arranged by my master; give me some time, and I will surely be worthy of you!” Wang Xiangchi said with determination in his eyes.
