Spirit Devouring Bee King Honey

Spirit Devouring Bee King Honey

At this moment, Wang Yulun was in despair. The great benefactor before him, who had saved him twice, had already finished three tables' worth of food.

"Brother Xu, um, I didn't bring many Spirit Stones. Can we eat again next time?" Wang Yulun asked Xu Fan in a low voice.

Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun and said with a smile, "Feeling the pinch already? We've barely gotten started."

Under the effects of the Full Stomach Art, all the Spirit Food transformed into the purest spiritual energy, gradually strengthening Xu Fan's physique.

A feeling of contentment and happiness welled up within him.

This spell can even affect the caster's emotions?

At this point, Xu Fan finally finished the last dish and gave up on ordering more food.

"How many pounds of Spirit Devouring Honey did you get? Is it enough to settle your mother-in-law?" Xu Fan asked, cutting in.

"About ten pounds. I think it should be enough," Wang Yulun said. In truth, he was not entirely sure. Though Spirit Devouring Honey was rare, it was not the only thing capable of treating hidden injuries.

"Fine. If you need anything, speak up. I might be able to help when the time comes."

After parting with the two of them, Xu Fan headed straight for a Merchant Guild that specialized in purchasing Heavenly Treasures.

The moment he entered, he received an enthusiastic welcome.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the VIP Room first. Shortly, I will send one of our guild's Treasure Appraisers to serve you personally," said a Cultivator who looked like a high-ranking Qi Refinement Supervisor.

"Alright."

Xu Fan looked at the packed Myriad Treasures Pavilion. It was said that after every Mystic Realm opening, these Merchant Guilds welcomed their favorite time of year, when countless Heavenly Treasures that were rarely seen in ordinary times were brought in for purchase.

After every Mystic Realm expedition, news would always spread of someone obtaining a Great Opportunity within, or acquiring some extraordinary Magic Treasure.

In the VIP Room, just after Xu Fan finished a cup of tea, a delicate-featured, slender Young Girl entered.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist. I am Wan Ling'er, a Treasure Appraiser of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."

"What treasure does Fellow Daoist wish to sell? Our pavilion will certainly offer you a fair price," the Young Girl said softly, her eyes shining faintly as she looked at Xu Fan. Will I be able to land a major client this time?

A small Space Magic Artifact specifically made for holding liquids was placed on the table. Inside the bottle were one hundred pounds of Spirit Devouring Bee King Honey.

Xu Fan made a gesture of invitation.

Wan Ling'er immediately picked up the little bottle, opened its spatial Forbidden Barrier, and gently sniffed it with her small nose.

An astonishing surge of spiritual power mixed with the sweet fragrance of honey rushed straight into her mind. Just one whiff felt like swallowing a miraculous Spiritual Pill.

"Fellow Daoist has just emerged from the Mystic Realm?" Wan Ling'er asked as she began measuring the amount of honey in the Magic Artifact bottle.

"I just got out and thought I'd dispose of the things in my hands," Xu Fan said. He had also obtained many Spiritual Herbs and Spirit Ores in the Mystic Realm, but since he could refine Pills and Magic Artifacts himself, there was no need to sell them.

Wan Ling'er took out a little honey and carefully tasted it.

"Fellow Daoist, this batch of Spirit Devouring Honey is of excellent quality. How about 2,500 Spirit Stones per pound?" Wan Ling'er quoted a price slightly below Xu Fan's expectations.

"Miss, you may wish to find a more experienced Treasure Appraiser. I believe he will give me an exact figure," Xu Fan said blandly. He did not believe Spirit Devouring Bee King Honey was worth only this much.

Wan Ling'er's delicate brows furrowed. He was saying that her skills were lacking.

"Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist."

Wan Ling'er left the VIP Room, feeling somewhat dejected. Her first time serving as a Treasure Appraiser had gone poorly from the very start. When she returned, she had no idea how her elder sister, who had opposed her since childhood, would mock her.

Xu Fan continued sipping his tea, wondering whether he should get a few tea trees after returning. I've got a long life ahead of me.

A White-haired Old Man entered Xu Fan's VIP Room. He possessed Golden Core Cultivation Base.

"Greetings, Senior." Xu Fan immediately rose to his feet.

"A guest is a guest. Little friend, there is no need to be so restrained."

As the White-haired Old Man spoke, he gestured for Xu Fan to sit, then picked up the small Magic Artifact bottle on the table.

"Spirit Devouring Bee King Honey. How about 3,200 Spirit Stones per pound?" the White-haired Old Man said with slight surprise. It had been a long time since his Merchant Guild had received any Bee King Honey.

"We'll settle it at the price Senior named," Xu Fan said with a nod. It was two hundred Spirit Stones higher than he had expected.

The moment Xu Fan received the Spirit Stones, his heart actually began beating a little faster. It was like the unreal feeling of receiving money after winning the lottery.

Within the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

"I never thought my first appraisal would end in failure. I have no idea how much I'll be laughed at when I go back," Wan Ling'er said dejectedly, feeling a little resentful toward Xu Fan. Couldn't he have just let me have this one?

"A setback makes one wiser. You still have a long road ahead."

"Being a Treasure Appraiser is merely a side occupation for you. Proper cultivation is the true path," the White-haired Old Man said to Wan Ling'er. How could the daughter of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's master remain a Treasure Appraiser forever?

"Mm." Wan Ling'er nodded humbly.

Meanwhile, after obtaining the Spirit Stones, Xu Fan did not go on a spending spree. Instead, he quietly returned to his Mountain Peak and began taking stock of his gains.

"The Spiritual Herbs I obtained are enough to refine several batches of Elixirs."

"These Spirit Ores should barely be enough to refine several Magic Artifacts."

After taking stock of all his gains, Xu Fan considered entering Seclusion to absorb the Pill Recipes and Spell Jade Slips he had obtained from the Mystic Realm.

After pondering for a while, Xu Fan lightly pointed a finger toward mid-air. A paper crane glowing with azure light appeared, spreading its wings as it flew toward the Alliance Base.

Not long afterward, Pang Fu flew out of Xu Fan's Small Hilltop carrying Spirit Stones and a list.

The next day, Xu Fan looked at the five top-grade ten-zhang Storage Bags before him and said with a bitter smile, "It seems three hundred thousand Spirit Stones still aren't enough to spend."

With Spirit Stones in hand, Xu Fan directly swept through all the Artifact Refining Runes in the Scripture Repository.

Then came large-scale purchases of Pill Refining Spiritual Herbs and Spirit Ores.

This time, Xu Fan launched his own pill refining and Artifact Refining plan. His goal was to become a master of Dual Mastery of Pills and Artifacts. As for his Cultivation Base, he would leave it to fate. In any case, he could still break through on the last day.

Spring passed and autumn came; three years vanished in the blink of an eye.

Inside an intermediate Artifact Refining Room at the Earth Core Workshop, Xu Fan stared at the combined Magic Artifact before him, lost in thought.

"Spirit Control and the Parent-Child Rune seem somewhat incompatible. Could it be that the Transfer Rune doesn't match?" Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.

In mid-air, a seemingly shattered flying sword was undergoing its final fusion. The Runes that had originally matched perfectly unexpectedly began to repel one another during the final stage of fusion.

The unfinished Magic Artifact was held in mid-air by Xu Fan's powerful spiritual power, as though frozen in place, suspended at the very moment before fusion.

"That's it. Since they're incompatible, I'll directly use an enhanced Parent-Child Rune and replace the Spirit Control Rune with a Spider Silk Rune."

As he spoke, Xu Fan's eyes lit up. He immediately took out a rune brush and began inscribing in the air. In the blink of an eye, ninety-nine Runes appeared in the air, arranged in a marvelous pattern as they began merging with the Magic Artifact overhead.

Looking at the successfully completed Magic Artifact, Xu Fan let out a sigh of relief. This Magic Artifact he had created himself, named Thousand Blades, had finally succeeded after being refined six times.
