Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Soul Iron Ore Vein
Translator: 549690339
Xu Fan stared at the piece of spirit jade engraved with Great Day runes for a long time, and finally had to admit that it was just an ordinary spirit jade, worth only 5 spirit stones in the market. The container it was in was a hundred times more valuable than the jade itself.
If it does have any use, it might be slightly better than the Light Illumination Technique for lighting up the night.
“Did I get ripped off or was it just a bad deal?” Xu Fan said with some annoyance. “You used such a fancy container just to store this.”
That evening, Inner Sect Ye Xiaoyao’s room.
“Huh, where did my illuminating spirit jade go?”
At the same time, Wang Yulun of the Hundred Flower Sect was attending a
cross-sect exchange dinner with a bitter face.
He watched as the female disciples of the Hundred Flower Sect, with their enchanting charms, dragged his fellow senior brothers away for
“communication”. He secretly rejoiced that he had used his master’s secret technique to change his face into an uglier one beforehand, thus avoiding disaster.
Before he came, he had promised his wife that if anything went wrong, he would hang himself in front of her.
At this moment, the elder of the Hundred Flower Sect, sitting at the head of the banquet, had a face so beautiful that it could ruin a country. Her eyes and brows could make all the cultivators who saw her willingly become her subjects.
“Master Chen Ye, are the disciples who came for the exchange not satisfied with my sect’s hospitality?” The elder of the Hundred Flower Sect said to the Chen Ye, who was sitting upright next to her.
“How could that be? Our disciples are very satisfied with the hospitality of your sect.” Chen Ye said seriously, keeping his eyes on the food at the banquet and not daring to look at the elder of the Hundred Flower Sect casually.
“Then why don’t you dare to show your true face?”
The elder of Hundred Flower Sect flicked her sleeve in Wang Yulun’s direction as she spoke. A pink spirit light shot directly towards him.
Then the elder turned her gaze back to Master Chen Ye.
“Master Chen Ye, do I look so ugly that you don’t even dare to glance at me?” Her voice was charming and irresistible.
Master Chen Ye felt as if he was facing a great enemy, thinking to himself, “I’m afraid that if I look at her, I won’t be able to look back.’
At this moment, Wang Yulun suddenly felt something on his body. He looked down and saw that a coquettish beauty had appeared beside him, her leg resting on his.
“Miss, your leg…”
“Long, white, and straight; do you want to play with it for a lifetime?” A face of absolute beauty closed in on Wang Yulun’s eyes.
That day, Wang Yulun was reminded of the fear he had once felt under the control of a fox demon.
Before dawn, Xu Fan sat quietly on a lounge chair in the courtyard, preparing to watch the sunrise.
He hadn’t slept all night, and he simply couldn’t understand how he, who had not been an antagonist and had no ill intentions towards Zhu Jiao, had suffered three times in a row.
“I’m not the bad guy in a tormenting protagonist novel, so why am I so unlucky around him?”
At this moment, the sun rose, casting the first rays of sunlight on Xu Fan’s little hill.
Xu Fan raised a hand into the void, and a little bird made of light flew gently into his palm.
“I’m still 500 short of summoning the Weichen Spirit Flame. By that time, promotion to a third-tier Refiner shouldn’t be a problem.”
Xu Fan rubbed his head and decided to keep his distance from Zhu Jiao in the future, and if necessary, move out.
At this moment, the Forbidden Bell sounded, and Ye Xiaoyao entered with an excited expression.
“Little Fan, all the materials have been gathered. When can you give me the remaining flying swords?”
Old Silver Coin, wait for the day when my Flying Sword is complete, that will be your death day.
Xu Fan took the storage bag handed to him by Ye Xiaoyao and thought for a moment before slowly saying, “Big Brother Ye, you can pick it up in two months.”
His tone was full of bitterness and helplessness. Following the protagonist brought no benefits, but did he have a choice? Would he become a tool to stimulate the protagonist’s explosive potential in the end?
Just thinking about it made Xu Fan feel bitter.
Seeing that Xu Fan was not very interested, Ye Xiaoyao said again, “Little Fan, I found a Soul Iron Ore Vein in a Demonic Beast gathering place 100,000 kilometers away from our sect.”
“It’s small-scale, but after we mine it, it will be worth at least 5 million Spirit Stones.”
Ye Xiaoyao said mysteriously, with an expression that implied he was only taking Xu Fan because they were brothers.
“There is a group of Golden Core Stage Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants gathered there, the most powerful of which is at the Nascent Soul Stage.”
“After the Flying Swords are refined, let’s go there and make a fortune. At that time, we’ll split it fifty-fifty. How does that sound?”
Upon hearing about the Soul Iron Ore Vein, Xu Fan’s excitement instantly ignited. But when he learned that the protagonist wanted to mine with him, he instantly refused.
It’s not about making money, it’s just giving him a death notice. He would have been finished if he hadn’t had some skills in the previous two encounters.
Seeing Xu Fan’s refusal, Ye Xiaoyao said, “I know your strength, Little Fan.
Don’t be shy.”
Ye Xiaoyao put his hand on Xu Fan’s shoulder.
“We’re brothers. We should share the benefits.
“In the future, I will be the number one Sword Cultivator of Heavenly Gate Sect, and you will be the number one Artifact Refiner. If we brothers work together, we can create another legend in the Immortal World.”
“Little Fan, we are the perfect match.”
With just one sentence, Xu Fan’s expression changed. This didn’t feel right.
“I am a cultivator of the Sword Formation Dao, and you are a talented Artifact Refiner. We can help each other and no one in the Cultivation World would dare to mess with us.” Ye Xiaoyao said excitedly. As a cultivator of the Sword
Formation Dao, the most satisfying thing was having a powerful Artifact Refiner brother.
“Can’t Brother Ye handle that Soul Iron Ore Vein on his own?”
Xu Fan made up his mind; he wouldn’t go out even if the protagonist talked up a storm.
“Of course, I can’t do it alone. I could lure those Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants away, but I still need someone to mine.”
“That place is a Demonic Beast mountain range, and those Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants are the overlords of that area. It would be very troublesome to kill them all.”
“Another thing is that Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants are between Demonic Beasts and Spiritual Beasts, so killing them would bring bad luck.”
Xu Fan thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
“Big Brother Ye, I won’t go there in person, but I can refine mining puppets. They don’t need to be controlled by a person and can work automatically.”
“You hide the puppets near the ore veins, and when you lure those Earth Spirit
Tusk Elephants away, they can start working automatically.”
“And their mining speed will be much faster than mine.” Xu Fan added. According to his plan, he only needed a small piece of Spirit Heart Ore; then he could refine a set of high-intelligence mining puppets.
“Alright then, but without your cooperation, it will be a bit dangerous to deal with those Earth Spirit Tusk Elephants by myself.” Ye Xiaoyao said, while in his heart, a voice was frantically urging him to squeeze more benefits from his good brother.
Thinking of the more than 2 million Soul Iron, Xu Fan clenched his teeth and took out a set of Second-tier Three-type Spirit Power Armor. It was a treasure he had prepared for himself. The materials alone had cost half of his family’s assets, plus a whole year of designing and refining time.
“Then I’ll lend you a set of Magical Treasures, Brother Ye. Please remember to return it when you are done..”
