Xu Fan strolled through the Bamboo Forest as if taking a leisurely walk through his garden.

Looking at the Bee Colony spread throughout the entire Bamboo Forest, Xu Fan felt as though he had arrived in his own backyard.

"You are all my family."

A dreamlike glow radiated from Xu Fan's body. To every bee in the colony, Xu Fan seemed like the person they revered most.

Wherever he went, the Bee Colony parted to either side, as if welcoming their prince.

As Xu Fan looked at the Beehives, each over three meters tall, his eyes began to shine.

"I'm about to strike it rich. How many pounds of honey must there be here?"

"One hundred pounds means two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. One thousand pounds means two million Spirit Stones. Ten thousand pounds means..."

"If I can get ten thousand pounds of honey, I'll achieve financial freedom in the cultivation world."

At that moment, Xu Fan spotted a Queen Bee in front of an enormous Beehive. Several times larger than an ordinary Spirit Devouring Bee, she was staring at him.

"Your Mental Power is quite strong. You actually withstood my Illusion Heart Art."

"Now, sink into it obediently."

Xu Fan lightly tapped the air. A purple Light Spot appeared, tracing a graceful arc through the air as it flew toward the Queen Bee.

Just then, a Spiritual Light Shield appeared around the Queen Bee, blocking Xu Fan's Soul Confusion Art. At the same time, Xu Fan received a message.

It turned out this was one of the Heavenly Gate Sect's properties, as well as one of the Mystic Realm's rewards. Those capable enough could steal honey from the Mystic Realm themselves, but at most one thousand pounds.

"Ah, my dream of getting rich has been shattered." Xu Fan sounded a little disappointed.

At that moment, on the Cloud Continent of the Heavenly Gate Sect, an Integration Stage Elder froze for a moment before slowly saying, "Not bad. A Qi Refining Stage Cultivator actually had the ability to deceive the Spirit Devouring Bee Colony and nearly control the Queen Bee."

"It seems I'll be taking a loss this time." The Integration Stage Elder said painfully.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan was happily collecting honey in the Mystic Realm—and it was Spirit Devouring Bee King Honey.

Just as Xu Fan had gathered five hundred pounds and was about to continue, a faint voice rang out.

"Junior, that's enough."

Xu Fan immediately stopped and bowed toward the empty air. "As you command."

Without another word, he summoned the Spiritual Wind Vessel and flew into the distance.

Only after flying a hundred li beyond the Bamboo Forest did Xu Fan curl his lip. "So stingy. Only five hundred pounds."

Though he called them stingy aloud, inwardly he was practically bursting with joy. He was already calculating what to buy after selling the honey.

He absolutely needed a top-level Magic Artifact Pill Refining Furnace.

He also needed a complete set of Magic Artifacts for artifact refining.

And every spell in the library had to be bought.

Whoosh

A familiar sound of something slicing through the air came from afar. A Sword Light Rainbow flew toward the direction Xu Fan had just left.

The moment Xu Fan heard the sound, he did not hesitate. He added a Light-Shadow Protective Shield around himself, physically turning invisible in mid-air.

"The protagonist has a weapon now, and he's come to send me money again. I wonder how many pounds of honey the protagonist can get."

At the same time, the Integration Stage Elder, who had just been lamenting his losses, was no longer calm. He was even somewhat furious.

"Are there already so many monsters at the Qi Refining Stage?"

"He actually ignored my warning. Is he trying to bankrupt me?"

As he spoke, the Integration Stage Elder sent out an arcane spiritual light that pierced directly through space and entered the Mystic Realm.

At the Spirit Devouring Bees' nest, Ye Xiaoyao was happily filling the Four Seas Bottle with honey. He said excitedly, "I never expected my Cultivation Base falling to the Qi Refining Stage would come with such a benefit."

"Over ten thousand pounds of Spirit Devouring Honey—more than two million Spirit Stones. That's enough for Master to hire a Mahayana Stage Cultivator to diagnose what's wrong with my body."

Just then, an arcane spiritual light that seemed to come from beyond the heavens directly forced Ye Xiaoyao out of the Bamboo Forest.

"The Spirit Devouring Bee Bamboo Forest is closed. It will reopen after three Mystic Realms."

Anyone who saw the shield outside the Bamboo Forest would have this information surface in their mind.

"How stingy." Ye Xiaoyao also curled his lip.

At that moment, a voice arose in Ye Xiaoyao's mind.

"Young Man, are you willing to avenge this Immortal Emperor?"

"This Immortal Emperor is from the Heavenly Rainbow Great Thousand World..."

Unaware that his companion had already embarked on a journey of Fate, Xu Fan was currently searching the entire world for the inheritance of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster. Xu Fan could now be called a suddenly wealthy young man; items worth dozens or even hundreds of Spirit Stones no longer caught his eye.

Whenever he encountered streams or small lakes, he disembarked and searched.

Whenever he encountered mountains or perilous peaks, he disembarked and searched.

Whenever he encountered plains or dangerous lands, he disembarked and searched.

Anywhere that seemed promising, he searched.

Heaven did not disappoint the diligent. Xu Fan stared at the ancient-looking Pill Refining Chamber before him and fell into thought.

"The inheritance of a Pill Refining Master is acceptable too."

Xu Fan obtained a pile of Ancient Pill Recipe Jade Slips, along with a sealed Pill Refining Furnace.

"No, pill refining can't compare to artifact refining. Keep looking." Xu Fan said with a resolute expression.

With one day remaining before the end, Xu Fan looked at the thousands of Spell Jade Slips in the Ruins, his expression indescribable.

"Flowers planted with care refuse to bloom; willows planted by accident cast shade."

"This cabinet of Spell Divine Ability Jade Slips means the trip wasn't in vain. At the very least, I'll have something to pass the time during boring days."

Xu Fan took out a jade slip and began examining it.

"Summoning Art. I didn't expect this thing to really exist in the cultivation world."

"Treasure Bag Art. Maybe I can save the Spirit Stones for a Spatial Ring."

"Crescent Moon Art. This is a little wicked."

"True Spirit Art, communicating with True Spirits."

Xu Fan grew more excited the more he read, until a voice interrupted his contemplation.

"One month has passed. The Mystic Realm is closing."

In an instant, Xu Fan appeared in the sky above Heavenly Secret Peak, then plummeted downward.

Fortunately, Xu Fan reacted quickly and used the Light Body Art, stopping in mid-air.

A group of people waited in mid-air for quite some time, yet no elder came to lecture them. Eventually, everyone dispersed and returned home, beginning to count their gains.

At that moment, Wang Yulun rode over on a flying crane with Murong Qian'er and arrived beside Xu Fan.

"Brother Xu, I'm treating today. How about the Drunken Immortal Restaurant?"

"Qian'er and I want to properly thank Brother Xu for saving our lives."

Both of them looked at Xu Fan with grateful eyes.

"Sure. After living rough for a month, I was just thinking of having a proper feast."

At the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Xu Fan unceremoniously ordered nearly a thousand Spirit Stones' worth of dishes. In an Outer Sect Restaurant, that was already the very best.

If not for Wang Yulun's increasingly unpleasant expression, Xu Fan would have ordered a few more dishes.

Among that pile of jade slips, Xu Fan had discovered a particularly interesting spell called the Full Stomach Art. Food eaten would rapidly digest under the spell's effect, while its nutrients and spiritual energy would strengthen the caster's body.

"Brother Xu, can you finish ordering so much? It's not that I dislike spending so many Spirit Stones."

"I'm just afraid of wasting food."

You just dislike spending so many Spirit Stones. Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun.

"Let's make a deal. If I finish this table, I'll order another table. How about it?" Xu Fan said teasingly.
