BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22
“Since you’re so dark, let’s call you Tongyou.”
“Flying Sword Tongyou, what a great name,” Xu Fan self-praised.
At that moment, Xu Fan’s spiritual power surged within him, and he instantly broke through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
Xu Fan was speechless for a while.
“I accidentally broke through, but it’s just right. Now I can control artifacts.”
After admiring his first masterpiece, Xu Fan began to formally refine his own artifacts.
Three days later, Xu Fan looked at the three artifacts in front of him and laughed triumphantly.
The first one was the Tongyou Flying Sword, which was the first artifact Xu Fan had successfully refined.
The second one was a set of artifacts made up of thirty-six hair-thin embroidery needles, constantly appearing and disappearing, each needle emitting a chilling light that made people’s hearts tremble.
The third was a giant shield that resembled a turtle shell, composed of three layers of different hardness spiritual mine, named Giant Avatar.
The Forbidden Bell Sound rang.
Wang Yulun walked in, hand in hand with Murong Qian’er.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Fan’s three artifacts shrank to their smallest size and hung around his waist.
“Brother Xu, it’s time to head to Tianmi Peak,” Wang Yulun shouted loudly.
Xu Fan rolled his eyes, “They’re here to show off their love again.”
“I’m ready, let’s go together,” Xu Fan said casually.
“Alright.”
As they left, Xu Fan rolled his eyes again, “I can’t believe they’re both riding on the same Immortal Crane. Shameless!”
“Brother Xu, let’s have a race to see who reaches Tianmi Peak first!” Wang Yulun shouted loudly.
As soon as Wang Yulun finished speaking, there was a ‘hmm’ sound, and a black shadow flashed by. Xu Fan had already disappeared on the horizon with his flying sword.
If you can see my exhaust, I lose.
Xu Fan was riding on the Tongyou Flying Sword, slicing through the sky at a rapid speed, encased in a streamlining air shield.
Looking at the passing air currents, Xu Fan suddenly felt a sense of excitement.
This was the real flying; this was the real speed!
An hour later, Xu Fan reached Tianmi Peak just before his spiritual power was about to be depleted.
At this time, Tianmi Peak was already crowded with Qi Cultivating Cultivators who had come to participate in the Secret Realm; Xu Fan could only find a spot on the edge to wait.
Half a moment later, Wang Yulun finally landed on the Flying Crane, holding hands with Murong Qian’er, and excitedly began to look for Xu Fan.
Wang Yulun scanned the crowd and found Xu Fan on the edge.
“Brother Xu, why was your speed so fast just now?”
“Was that flying sword the artifact you refined?”
Murong Qian’er also looked at Xu Fan with surprise, as his speed just now was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Why do you have so many questions? Didn’t you know that I’m now a Refining Grandmaster?” Xu Fan said, not particularly paying attention to Wang Yulun behind him.
At that moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face appeared as a shadow in the sky, and a mysterious force appeared, followed by a giant gate in mid-air.
“Qi Refinement Secret Realm, there will be no killing each other inside the realm. You will be automatically sent out after one month.”
“Now, all disciples participating in the secret realm should take out 1,000 spirit stones, and I will collect them.”
“The secret realm is now open.”
The ethereal voice of a celestial being put all the disciples present into a wonderful state, as if they were listening to the Sound of the Great Dao.
Only Xu Fan’s eyes flashed with a different color, “Is this a voice-based divine ability? Interesting.”
He took out the prepared 1,000 spirit stones and gently tossed them into the air. The bag of spirit stones floated uncontrollably and slowly towards the shadow in the sky.
There were countless such bags of spirit stones floating in mid-air.
After collecting the Spirit Stones, the shadow in the sky disappeared, and everyone came back to their senses, flying towards the giant gate in the air using their artifacts.
“Brother Xu, do you want to join us?” Wang Yulun said to Xu Fan.
“No, but you can have this, just input spiritual power into it in case of emergency.”
Xu Fan handed Wang Yulun a Spirit Stone he had modified. As long as spiritual power is input, it will emit a high-frequency vibration.
“Thank you, Brother Xu.” The two of them smiled, then rode a flying crane together, flying towards the giant gate in the sky and looking like a golden couple.
Even Xu Fan was a little envious when he saw this, but he shook his head after a moment’s thought.
“What’s so good about entering the tomb early? Long live bachelorhood!”
Xu Fan summoned his Tongyou Flying Sword, turning it into a black light, and flew towards the giant gate of the Secret Realm.
The moment he entered the gate, there was a change in heaven and earth. A mouthful of pure Spiritual Qi almost choked Xu Fan out of the air.
“Damn, this Spiritual Qi is so pure.”
Xu Fan looked around and found himself in a forest.
“This is a Lingfeng Tree forest, and they’re all mature ones.”
Suddenly, an idea appeared in Xu Fan’s mind.
“With a month’s time, I’ll make a temporary base.”
Xu Fan had two Storage Bags, both with an area of ten square feet.
In the Lingfeng Tree forest, Xu Fan took control of the Tongyou Flying Sword and cut up trees, a simple modular cabin appeared, complete with a bed and a set of tables and chairs.
Just then, several low growls sounded close to Xu Fan.
A group of more than ten Demonic Wolves encircled Xu Fan, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty excitement.
“Qi Refining Fourth Layer Demonic Beasts! They’ll barely do.”
‘*Snap*’
Xu Fan snapped his fingers, and the Demonic Wolves lay prone on the ground, submitting to him, and some female wolves even exposed their bellies to him.
“…….. I might have overdone it.”
After giving the command to search for Heaven and Earth treasures, Xu Fan began to wander around the forest.
“I wonder if I can find the Rune inheritance of a Refining Master.”
An hour later, Xu Fan looked at the pile of Spiritual Medicines in front of him, regretting not buying more Storage Bags.
“Mu Ling Mushroom, Tian Yin Grass, Companion Star Bamboo, Clear Heart Tea Tree, Black Sky Hemp, Wood Ginseng…….”
The pile of Spiritual Medicines could be worth over 100 Spirit Stones, and Xu Fan could use many of them for Alchemy.
“It’s no wonder this is a Secret Realm, there’s Spiritual Medicine everywhere.” Xu Fan said excitedly.
His recent expenses were rather high, and he estimated that his saved Spirit Stones wouldn’t last very long.
Xu Fan came to the edge of a small lake.
“According to the routine, there should be something in the lake.” Xu Fan said thoughtfully as he looked at the lake’s surface.
‘Boom!’
The whole lake suddenly exploded, and a blue sword light broke through the water, as a handsome Outer Disciple flew out along with the sword light.
At this moment, Xu Fan had already retreated a hundred meters away from the lake, hiding under three layers of protective shields and a Giant Shield.
“Junior Fellow, there’s no need to panic. I was just trying to tame an artifact just now, so everything should be fine.”
A faint and calm voice said.
The handsome Outer Sect Senior Brother beckoned, and a blue flying sword flew into his hand.
The Outer Sect Senior Brother was very excited to get the Flying Sword. He didn’t expect to have such a harvest in the Secret Realm, and his luck was truly extraordinary.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother, on obtaining a peerless flying sword.” Xu Fan said, like an NPC in a game, with no nutritional content in his words.
“My name is Ye Xiaoyao. What’s your name, Junior Fellow?”
Upon hearing the name Ye Xiaoyao, Xu Fan had a sudden realization.
Could it be that he’d met the protagonist?
