"Who doesn't know about such a big matter?" Xu Fan smiled and asked. Then, he brought the two of them to the guest pavilion.
At this moment, Wang Yulun took out a large food box from his storage ring and took out four hot dishes, four cold dishes, and two soups. There were a total of ten dishes.
Meanwhile, Murong Qian'er took out a jar of spirit wine.
"These dishes are made by the head chef of the Immortal Indulgence Building. The wine, Intoxicated in the Clouds, is the best in their hotel."
"Am I right?" Xu Fan looked at the two and smiled.
"You've improved a lot compared to before. I taught you so many things in the past, but you only brought the meat of demon beasts over. Furthermore, I had to cook it myself."
"Who taught you to be so capable?" Xu Fan squinted at Wang Yulun and asked. This table of dishes was definitely not his idea.
Wang Yulun rubbed his head and chuckled. Before he came, he wanted to bring another slab of demon beast meat and let Xu Fan process it. However, Murong Qian'er stopped him.
She specially bought a table of dishes and spirit wine from the best restaurant in the outer sect.
Xu Fan placed a piece of meat into his mouth and started to savor it carefully.
"Speak. Why are you here?"
Xu Fan had never eaten a free lunch.
"It's like this, Big Brother Xu." Wang Yulun was a little embarrassed.
"A while ago, when Qian'er and I were out on a mission, we encountered a Soul-Devouring Beast at Level-9 of the Qi Refinement Stage."
"Although Qian'er and I ran fast, Qian'er was still infected by the aura of the Soul-Devouring Beast. Thus, Qian'er can't sleep well every night now."
"There's always a ghost that wants Qian'er to find that Soul-Devouring Beast."
"That's why I'm here today to ask Big Brother Xu if you have any ideas," said Wang Yulun.
Xu Fan rolled his eyes at Wang Yulun and formed a hand seal.
After a series of complicated hand seals, a ball of pure white spiritual light appeared above Xu Fan's head. It emitted an aura that could purify all living things and descended on Murong Qian'er's head.
It was a Light Purification Spell.
Murong Qian'er simply felt her entire body relax as a wisp of black aura emerged from her body.
Then, Xu Fan casually used a fireball to extinguish the black aura.
"How embarrassing. You're only at Level-5 of the Qi Refinement Stage, yet you were chased by a Soul-Devouring Beast. In the end, you even injured your wife," said Xu Fan in disdain.
"But the beast was at Level-9 of the Qi Refinement Stage!" Wang Yulun shouted.
"You still deserve to die."
At this moment, Murong Qian'er finally recovered from her shock.
"Brother Xu, have you reached the highest level of the Purification Spell?"
She knew that one could only purify abnormalities of the soul when one comprehended the Purification Spell to the highest level.
"Oh, I was just casually practicing. I didn't expect to reach the advanced level," said Xu Fan casually. Normally, he only needed half a month to reach the highest level of a spell.
"Big Brother Xu is amazing." Murong Qian'er only believed her lover now.
"Hurry up and eat, or it'll get cold."
After a meal of wine and good food, Murong Qian'er cleared the cutlery on the table into a stone box and started chatting with the two of them. She appeared very virtuous.
"Big Brother Xu, are you going to the sect's mystic realm?"
"With Big Brother Xu's battle strength, we will definitely be able to reap a bountiful harvest," said Wang Yulun.
"No, it's too dangerous. Isn't it better to live well?" Xu Fan shook his head. He didn't want to go to any place where there would be a battle.
"Big Brother Xu, are you really not going? I heard that there is a great cultivator inheritance to be found within the mystic realm."
"In the past, someone found the handwritten book of a grandmaster refiner in a mystic realm. There were many lost runes recorded on it."
Upon hearing this news, Xu Fan's interest was piqued. This was because in order to become an outstanding master blacksmith, it was essential to have all kinds of rune reserves.
A qualified master blacksmith had to master at least 1,000 runes, but Xu Fan could only master 80.
"Big Brother Xu, I know your personality. We have already selected this mystic realm."
"There are only Qi Refinement Stage demon beasts in this mystic realm. At most, they are only at the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage."
"According to Big Brother Xu's strength, our safety is guaranteed." Wang Yulun continued to persuade him. He knew that recently, Xu Fan had become obsessed with weapon refinement.
"That's right. There's the inheritance of a grandmaster blacksmith inside. Isn't Big Brother Xu tempted?" Murong Qian'er added.
"The two of you are echoing each other. Do you have any ulterior motives?" Xu Fan looked at the loving couple in front of him and asked.
"Hehe, I just want to pick up some benefits while following behind Big Brother Xu. I've been a little poor recently."
After having a partner, Wang Yulun realized that he never had enough Spirit Stones. Even though Qian'er had Spirit Stones, how could a man allow a woman to spend them?
Xu Fan glanced at Murong Qian'er without leaving a trace, indicating that he understood her very well.
"Are you sure that there are only Qi Refinement Stage demonic beasts inside?" Xu Fan asked after pondering for a moment.
"Yes, they're only at the Qi Cultivation stage." Wang Yulun confirmed.
"Then when are we going?"
"Ten days later, we will gather at Heaven's Secret Peak. The fee for entering the mystic realm is 1,000 Spirit Stones per person," said Wang Yu.
"Okay."
After sending off the two people, Xu Fan began to organize the spells he had learned. He attached great importance to the place where a battle might happen.
Xu Fan waved his hand, and 100 iron balls the size of billiards appeared in midair. Lightning appeared in his hand and he began to examine them one by one. Then, he engraved profound runes on them.
"I wonder if they can be used. I haven't tested this spell before. I wonder if its power is as great as I imagined," said Xu Fan as he stroked the iron ball in his hand.
"No, 100 iron balls isn't safe enough. I'll refine some more."
As Xu Fan spoke, he arrived at the weapon refinement room that he had built. He used a Spirit Stone to set up a spirit fire array and took out a pile of refined iron ores to start refining the iron balls.
The next day, Xu Fan arrived at the gathering place of the alliance. It was in a three-story pavilion on Shangling Peak.
The moment Xu Fan arrived, he was welcomed by all the disciples in the alliance.
"Senior Brother Xu, hello."
"Senior Brother Xu, please have some tea."
"Senior Brother Xu, have you had breakfast? I'll go to the Immortal Spirit Restaurant to buy one."
At this moment, Pang Fu walked out.
"Why is Junior Brother Xu in the mood to come to the alliance headquarters today?" Pang Fu asked with a smile. Ever since Xu Fan made a few batches of popular spirit pills in the alliance, Xu Fan had entered his core list, which included existences that needed to be served well.
"I came over to take a look. The few missions that requested spirit pills from yesterday are still there, right?" Xu Fan asked while smiling. One should not slap a smiling face. He still had some good feelings towards Pang Fu.
"Yes, yes. Which mission is Junior Brother Xu talking about?"
"I'd like to complete the missions that asked for Speed Spirit Pills and Body Tempering Pills," said Xu Fan casually.
"Can Junior Brother Xu refine high-grade Body Tempering Pills now?" Pang Fu asked in pleasant surprise. Usually, alchemists who could refine high-grade spirit pills were figures who were popular in the eyes of other cultivators.
A middle-grade spirit pill could be mastered by an alchemist after thousands of refinements. However, refining a high-grade spirit pill required talent.
"I managed to refine a few bottles by luck."
Xu Fan was secretly pleased with Pang Fu's flattery. Although he kept a low profile, he was still very happy when he occasionally pretended to be an outstanding figure.
