Chapter 755: Chapter 728: Retreat
Xu Fan snapped his fingers, and the purple flame went through another spatial rift.
"Using such a low-level locking method is really a bit disgraceful to your Demon Clan."
After hearing Xu Fan's words, the Purple Jade Jiaolong laughed.
"Do you think you can dodge my Innate Divine Abilities so easily?"
At this moment, the area where the Purple Jade Jiaolong had sealed was completely shattered, and the two could only confront each other within the spatial rifts.
A tiny flame appeared in Xu Fan's heart, which burned more and more brightly, ultimately engulfing his entire body.
When Xu Fan had burned away, another Xu Fan appeared from the void.
"You may have misunderstood my use of the word 'low-level'."
Xu Fan raised one hand slightly, and a purple lotus bloomed from it.
Suddenly, the area seemed to be reborn, and Xu Fan and the Purple Jade Jiaolong found themselves in a place filled with the chirping of birds and fragrances of flowers.
At this moment, the Purple Jade Jiaolong discovered with horror that all his power had been sealed.
"How do you like my Return to Mortality Virtual Realm Divine Ability?" Xu Fan said with a smile.
He walked up to the sealed Purple Jade Jiaolong, yanked hard, and a purple dragon scale appeared in his hand.
"I admit I underestimated you, Grandmaster of the Human Clan. The next time we meet, I will give it my all," the Purple Jade Jiaolong said before vanishing.
Xu Fan returned to the real space as well. At this point, the shattered space had been repaired, and everything seemed normal other than the ruins left on the ground.
"Interestingly, he was much stronger than I thought, considering he didn't bring his true body."
"It seems that the little loach is stronger than I thought," Xu Fan said, stepping through the Void Transfer Gate and returning to Hidden Spirit Island.
At this moment, the people and the Demon Clan on the Main Peak were still immersed in comprehension, with none of them waking up.
Their expressions remained the same as they were when Xu Fan left, that look of ecstasy.
"I might have gone a bit overboard. They won't wake up for at least a year."
"Pu Tao, ensure that there is an abundance of Spiritual Qi here. Open the Five Elements Origin Spirit Qi and add a little bit of Immortal Spirit Qi," Xu Fan instructed.
"Yes, Master."
In the Underground Space, Number One and Number Two Avatars were looking at Xu Fan with resentment.
"From ten years to two months, can't you beconsiderate of us?"
"After you reached the Mahayana stage, you could have used the origin yourself. Why did you share it with us?" the No.2 Clone said indignantly.
"He just can't stand us being idle. When we were gone, his itch to skin people came back," No.1 Clone said.
"Wasn't I trying to help you recover faster? No good deed goes unpunished," Xu Fan rolled his eyes.
"Bullshit, you just want us to work faster," said No.2 Clone.
"Isn't it natural for us to work? Regardless of who they are, everyone is born with a mission," Xu Fan said matter-of-factly.
"So our mission is to work?"
"Of course not, your mission is to comprehend the Refining Way and turn the Great Thousand World into the most powerful Immortal Tools," Xu Fan said passionately, trying to drown them in toxic chicken soup.
Number One and Number Two avatars rolled their eyes simultaneously, showing their disdain for Xu Fan.
"I was just joking with you guys. I've reached the Mahayana stage now, and I'm basically through in the Cultivation World. With a little more cultivation, I'll be invincible in this world."
"Your most important task is to fully refine the entire Hidden Spirit Island, inside and out, into a set of Immortal Tools before we ascend." Xu Fan said with a smile.
Honestly, having followed him for so many years, No.1 and No.2 Avatars might bicker when busy, but they never slacked off, and they always did their work seriously and beautifully.
Xu Fan had them bicker with him just to reminisce about the old days, not having too many tasks for them.
"Now that's more like it!" No.1 Avatar nodded in agreement.
"However, since you've advanced to the Mahayana stage, you should at least have a few top-notch Immortal Tools to match your aura. The most basic Immortal Tools are no longer suitable to match your majesty."
"During this time, collect more high-quality Immortal Spirit Qi level Spirit Mines, and I'll help you refine a few." No.2 Avatar said.
"I understand. I will let Pang Fu find more of this kind of Spiritual Mine." Xu Fan smiled.
As for No.1 and No.2 Avatars, the good followers they were, Xu Fan had a perfect grasp of them.
...
In the Small Sword Immortal City, Xu Fan walked on the busiest street of this Immortal City.
It felt like a city person who suddenly entered the rural market, fresh and interesting to Xu Fan.
He watched a Qi cultivation stage cultivator haggle with the shopkeeper over a slightly better quality Spirit Iron Sword for a whole morning.
"Shopkeeper, can't you really do it for 150 Spirit Stones?" The young man begged sincerely, as if his life was missing a Spirit Iron Sword, and he only had 150 Spirit Stones to offer.
The shopkeeper was obviously infuriated as he brought out a Magical Device Spirit Sword.
"I'll give you this Magical Device Spirit Sword, but you have to tell me where you got the courage to lower an original price of 1,000 Spirit Stones for this Spiritual Sword to 150 Spirit Stones." The shopkeeper was furious.
"It's because my strength only allows me to take out so much."
"And since the moment I saw this Spiritual Sword for the first time, I knew that my life couldn't be without it." The young Qi Refining stage cultivator touched the Spirit Iron Sword, intending to take it away.
The shopkeeper slapped on the Spirit Iron Sword.
"Shopkeeper, but you agreed to give it to me." The Qi Cultivation stage young cultivator said, as if the spirit iron sword was already his own.
"Nothing's given for free. First, promise me one condition, and after completing it, I'll give you the sword." The shopkeeper said.
"Shopkeeper, you say it, whether it's crossing mountains of swords or plunging into pits of flames or demon realm abyss, just say it, and I'll dare to venture." The young cultivator appeared to be full of heroism.
The shopkeeper pointed to the Chamber of Commerce across the street and said, "Across the street, there's a Calabash that Storage Spirits in the Chamber of Commerce, and the selling price is 5,000 Spirit Stones. Go haggle the price for me, get it down to 750 Spirit Stones and I'll give you this Spiritual Sword."
"Shopkeeper, aren't you demanding too much?"
"Only fools would do this kind of business," said the Qi Refining stage young cultivator.
The shopkeeper stared at the Qi Refining stage young cultivator, his eyes getting colder, and the murderous aura uncontrollably emanating.
At this moment, the young cultivator sensed something wrong and quickly said, "Shopkeeper, I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do, I'll come back tomorrow."
The young cultivator at the Qi Refining stage hurriedly ran out of the Chamber of Commerce.
Only then did the shopkeeper notice Xu Fan.
"Senior, what would you like to buy?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Get me some of your unique magical treasures here." Xu Fan casually said with a smile.
After watching such a long show, it would be insincere not to buy something.
Finally, Xu Fan bought a few magical treasures with unknown functions and continued to stroll along this very lively and bustling street.
