Chapter 643: Chapter 616: Heaven Luck Stone
 

“Thanks for the help, Great Master.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said with a face that indicated he wanted a freebie.

“It’s a small matter.” Xu Fan said.

His relationship with the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect was pretty good, so it wouldn’t hurt to let him freeload once in a while.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect revealed a smile.

Indeed, the joy of freeloading was irresistible to everyone.

“What brings you to our Sect, Esteemed One?” Xu Fan asked.

“Nothing much, I just wanted to lay low. My sister-in-law went to the Thousand Spirit Sect, so I thought it’d be best to stay out for a bit.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect’s smile was polite but not without awkwardness.

“It’s a good thing that your sister-in-law went to the Thousand Spirit Sect. Why are you hiding?” Xu Fan asked puzzledly.

“Well, it’s a bit complicated. It’s like every time she comes, the Eldest Brother will be unhappy for a while.”

“The Eldest Brother is now at the Invincible Venerable Realm, and his state of mind has undergone many trials. Except for the matter of sister-in-law, no one else can make him angry.”

“Whenever the Eldest Brother gets angry, he likes to use me as a punching bag.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said pitifully.

“I don’t think the Supreme Elder is the kind of person who would casually use someone as a punching bag. What exactly did you do back then to make the Thousand Spirit Sect Supreme Elder hold a grudge like this?” Xu Fan asked indifferently while secretly trying to figure out the potential cause of the resentment.

“You wouldn’t understand. Forget it, even if I told you, you still wouldn’t understand. Can I use the Sect’s treasures to stay for a year?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said.

“Why not? I’ll have Pu Tao build a Traveling Palace for you right away. You can stay for not just one year, but even ten or a hundred years.” Xu Fan said generously. The Hidden Spirit Sect was vast enough to accommodate an Esteemed One with ease.

“Thank you, Great Master.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect bowed with a smile.

“”What’s there to be polite between our two sects.”

And just like that, the Vast Void Giant Beast Division Site gained a new overseer.

A month later, after Avatar Number Two started refining Xing Zhou, it began complaining that the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect was too annoying.

Pressured by Number Two’s complaint, Xu Fan went to the scene to have a look and then took the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect away.

“Do you want to learn the Refining Path?” Xu Fan asked.

“Not really, I’m just curious about how this Xing Zhou is refined.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said.

Xu Fan looked at the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect, handed him a Jade Disc, and said,

“This disc contains the entire process of refining the Xing Zhou, as well as detailed descriptions of the formations. If you really don’t understand it, you can find the complete teaching process in the Main Peak School.”

Any Artifact Refining Grandmaster would be annoyed if someone kept asking questions while they were refining.

It’s just like having someone giving unhelpful directions while driving – it’s very frustrating.

“Great Master, did your second Avatar find me bothersome?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect asked.

“Yes, refining ordinary Xing Zhou would be fine, but now that we have such good materials, we should refine the best Xing Zhou possible. This requires full concentration, and it’s impossible to focus on anything else.”

“And your future Immortal Tools may be refined by Number Two.” Xu Fan added with a smile.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect suddenly realized that he had just made a foolish mistake.

“If you’re bored, you can go and play in the Virtual World.” Xu Fan suggested.

With the Hidden Spirit Sect clearing out the surrounding Demon Clan, the Mortals hidden within the Steel Great Wall started to disperse gradually. Although it had not returned to its former state of before the invasion, some places had even surpassed it.

The Virtual World had completely integrated into their lives.

Learning, trading, doing tasks, and every aspect of life were now centered around the Virtual World.

As Xu Fan’s created Virtual World developed, it had become primarily service-oriented, turning into a second paradise for Mortals.

“Esteemed One, if you shed your cultivation level and enter the virtual world, you’ll discover more fun.”

A virtual warehouse appeared in Xu Fan’s hand.

“Lie down inside it, and it will automatically connect to the virtual world,” Xu Fan said.

“I’ve heard about this virtual world from you guys before but never had the chance to check it out. Since the Great Master recommends it, I’ll go and see what’s fun in there,” said the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“You should really try it.” Xu Fan smiled and then instructed Pu Tao to serve a game addiction feast for the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

In Supreme Immortal City, Pang Fu left Number One here and agreed to pick him up a year later.

First Clone looked at the familiar city and smiled.

In the Volcanic Mountain Immortal Town, the Divine Fire Phoenix from earlier had now transformed into a Qilin, exuding an aura of unrivaled dominance.

“I wonder how Big Brother is doing.” First Clone said.

The entrance of the Refining Palace was as bustling as before, with even more cultivators seeking to purchase custom-made magical treasures.

First Clone walked towards the inner hall of the Refining Palace, and the isolation array inside automatically opened the door for him.

Then, outside the palace, the cultivators seeking to purchase magical treasures heard a burst of hearty laughter.

“Big Brother, I came to see you,” said First Clone with a smile.

At this moment, the Hall Master of the Refining Palace was studying a formation with a frown.

He looked up and saw First Clone.

“Hahaha, Brother, you finally came back to see me,” the Refining Palace Hall Master said with great joy.

Then, he suddenly looked at First Clone with a serious gaze.

“You’ve been promoted to Artifact Refining Grandmaster!” The Refining Palace Hall Master exclaimed with shock.

“Brother, you’re amazing. I hid my aura, but I didn’t expect you to find out in the end,” First Clone said in surprise.

“Your aura is well-hidden, but I recognize the energy in you,” the Hall Master of the Refining Palace said.

He looked at First Clone and suddenly began to sigh.

“I knew it wouldn’t take you too long to become an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon while I’m still just a master,” the Refining Palace Hall Master said with a bitter face.

It felt like the smartest kid in the village who had gone out to make a fortune.

“Brother, don’t be like this. Didn’t I come here to pass on my experience of becoming an Artifact Refining Grandmaster to you?”

As First Clone spoke, he handed a jade box to the Refining Palace Hall Master.

“I also prepared a gift for you, Brother. Please accept it,” First Clone said with a smile.

“It’s already good that you came. Why bother giving anything?”

“What could you possibly lack now?” The Refining Palace Hall Master chided.

“Brother, just open it and see. You should like it.”

“Oh, I really want to see what it is.”

The Refining Palace Hall Master curiously opened the jade box.

“Heaven Luck Stone!” The Refining Palace Hall Master exclaimed with joy.

“I originally wanted to refine this ring for you, but then I thought it would be better to give the Heaven Luck Stone to you directly.”

“After all, the things you refine yourself will be the most convenient to use,” First Clone said.
