BXBX NOVEL Chapter 412 - 385: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land
The Elder Council Cultivator quickly recorded Xu Fan’s information.
“A few great clans from the Demon World have appeared in your vicinity.” The Elder Council Cultivator asked again.
“Moon Fox Clan, Frost Wolf Clan, Wood Rat Clan, Earth Bear Clan.” Xu Fan replied.
“Thank you for providing this valuable information, fellow.” After the Elder Council Cultivator searched for a while in the space ring, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Xu Fan.
“This is the intel on the Demon World corresponding to your territory. I hope it will be of help to you.”
“Thank you.” Xu Fan took the Jade Slip, glanced through it with his divine sense, and his expression brightened as he smiled and said.
“Guards will escort you to the star shortly. I’ll leave now.”
“Alright, take care, fellow.” Xu Fan nodded.
At this moment, an armored guard flew over from a distance and arrived in front of Xu Fan and the others.
“Greetings, fellow. I’ll be your guide from here on out.” The guard said.
“Thank you.” Xu Fan nodded, but he thought that sending a message would have been simpler, why all the trouble.
The guard led Xu Fan and the others into the giant building.
“Heavenly Machine Pavilion. Right now, it gathers all the information about reachable Immortal Cities of the Human Clan. In the future, if you need to find someone or go to a specific Immortal City, you can come here,” the guard explained.
Everyone entered the pavilion, finding themselves in an enormous exhibition hall. Above them floated hundreds of light curtains, with each one representing an Immortal City.
Xu Fan saw many familiar Immortal City names, such as Heavenly Refining Immortal City, Hehuan Xian City, and Thousand Spirit Immortal City.
Most of the light curtains displayed requests for purchasing Magical Treasures, Spiritual Mines, locating people, or sending people to certain Immortal Cities.
“So, it’s an Information Hall.” Xu Fan said.
“Yes, that’s right. However, now that the contactable Immortal Cities are limited, once the Human Clan has more starships, the Central Continent’s Immortal Cities’ information will be complete,” the guard explained.
“What about the other continents outside the Central Continent?” Xu Fan asked suddenly.
“The Demon Clan has not affected those places yet. Now, each continent has a starship going back and forth, otherwise, the information about the Immortal Cities here wouldn’t be so incomplete,” the guard explained with a smile.
In the guard’s heart, he thought that the Elder Council of the Cultivation World considers the welfare of the Human Clan as their responsibility, so they would not only care for the Central Continent.
Although Xu Fan did not hear the guard’s inward thoughts, he understood the meaning behind the guard’s look.
“You can complete trades directly at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.”
“If you want to enter the stars, just let me know, and I’ll guide you. Remember, don’t try to go there privately,” the guard solemnly reminded.
“Understood.” Everyone nodded.
After his explanation, the guard left the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.
“You can stroll around here. If you want to buy something, go to the second floor. Everything’s there.”
“Gather back in three hours.” Xu Fan said.
“Got it.”
Everyone dispersed, most heading for the second floor.
Xu Fan stared at the light curtains above and began searching for the information he needed.
“Soul Stabilizing Crystal Stone, Spiritual Source Divine Iron, Hundred Dao Stone…” Xu Fan muttered while examining the messages on the light curtains.
“Forget it, I won’t find these materials anytime soon. However, there’s business in Artifact Refining,” Xu Fan thought as he saw the messages seeking purchase and help from Refining Masters to refine Dao Tools.
Xu Fan thought of the Moon Fox Tribe artifact refiners beneath Hidden Spirit Island, who already numbered over five hundred. Now, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect’s Artifact Refiners were affluent enough to cease the production line of magical treasures.
In the past two years, under the excavation of the Moon Fox Tribe, half of the Refining Masters from the Moon Fox Clan were sent to the underground space of Hidden Spirit Sect.
Xu Fan couldn’t help but sigh that this was a wave of wealth.
Xu Fan walked into a small room near the Grand Hall, where messages could be released, purchased, or sold for a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones each.
Before long, an additional light curtain appeared in the Grand Hall, causing the whole place to instantly boil with excitement.
“Accepting low-level Dao Tools, ten slots, bring your own Spiritual Mine.”
“Accepting large quantities of custom Treasure Artifact orders, discounts for large orders, bring your own Spiritual Mine.”
“Buying Soul Stabilizing Crystal Stone, Spiritual Source Divine Iron, Hundred Dao Stone … (Spiritual Mines desired by Refining Masters)”
Looking at the three messages in the light curtain, Xu Fan felt like he was back to the days of playing online games.
Just as Xu Fan hadn’t finished sighing, his Communication Magical Weapon rang, prompting him to return to the small room.
Half an Hour later, Xu Fan emerged from the room with a smile on his face.
“No wonder this is the gathering place for Immortal City’s Xing Zhou. There’s so much more available than I imagined,” Xu Fan said while touching the Space Ring in his hand.
By helping others refine five Dao Tools, he gathered all the spiritual mines he wanted and also accepted a huge Treasure Artifact order, which would be enough to keep the Moon Fox Tribe Artifact Refiners busy in the underground space.
“If that’s the case, should I increase Pu Tao’s computing power a bit?” Xu Fan said as he rubbed his chin.
If Pu Tao’s daily maintenance computing power exceeds even a little bit, Xu Fan would consider increasing Pu Tao’s computing power or adding another companion.
“Xu Fan~” A Void Refining Cultivator dressed in Elders Association’s Taoist robe came from afar. The cultivator was only ten feet tall, and his strong muscles could not be concealed by the loose robe.
“Senior Shan Chen!” Xu Fan exclaimed with joy.
Xu Fan always remembered Shan Chen, who he encountered on his way out of the Heavenly Gate. After the Moon Fox Tribe Artifact Refiners became surplus, Xu Fan had Pu Tao control the Moon Fox Tribe Artifact Refiners and forge three Dao Tools suitable for Shan Chen to use.
“Haha, I didn’t expect that after so many years, you have become a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator!” said Shan Chen with a laugh. When he lowered his head to look at Xu Fan, his eyes were filled with the emotions of friends reunited.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t know Senior Shan Chen had joined the Elders Association, so we could not meet sooner,” said Xu Fan as he looked up at Shan Chen. The three-meter-tall giant was really quite imposing.
“Come on, let me treat you to a drink.”
Without further ado, Shan Chen took Xu Fan to a hotel on the second floor.
“Many years have passed, I bet Senior Shan Chen is about to advance to the Integration Stage,” Xu Fan said, feeling the mighty momentum emanating from Shan Chen.
“It’s still too early. I’m only at the Peak Void Refining stage, and advancing is still far away,” laughed Shan Chen.
At this moment, Xu Gang, Wang Xiangchi, Li Xingci, and others came over.
“Greetings, senior,” they respectfully saluted. When they followed Xu Fan, they also benefited from Shan Chen’s cause and effect.
“Haha, well done! Your Master is only at the Nascent Soul stage, but all of you have reached the God Transformation stage!” Shan Chen laughed while looking at Xu Gang and the others’ cultivation levels. In his heart, however, he was slightly shocked as the speed of their cultivation advancement was too fast.
In their minds, Xu Gang and the others thought: What is there to be proud of in reaching the God Transformation? Our Master can still hit us like hitting a dog.
“Our Master has taught us well,” replied Xu Gang modestly.
“Take a seat. We can consider ourselves fellow old friends.”
“Let’s not say any more. Sit down and have a drink,” said Shan Chen.
Life’s four great joys: Meeting old friends in a foreign land.
