“Master, what kind of treasure is this? It’s so cold that my bones hurt. The surrounding space seems to be frozen too.”
Lin Fan rarely got a chance to see the world’s different treasures, thus making him less knowledgeable.
A crystal could be seen floating in front of him. A small dragon was breathing out cold air, swimming around the crystal. What was even more shocking was that the cold air actually managed to freeze the surrounding space.
It was magical and as if there was a world of ice inside the crystal.
“This is from the South city Ice valley’s Ice heaven demon dragon. The Ice heaven demon dragon is very powerful! It will shed a single tear every hundred years, which will form into this ice crystal. The power of the Ice heaven demon dragon and the power that froze this drop of tear is what makes this ice crystal a true treasure.”
“Master must be close to the Ice heaven demon dragon then. Or why would it give you such a precious item?” Lin Fan asked. He could feel the terrifying energy that the ice crystal carried,
“Of course.” Tian Xu caressed his beard and said calmly. “When I was younger, I went to the Ice valley to cultivate frequently, so I had a good relationship with the dragon. When Master went to ask for the ice crystal, the dragon was so excited that he gave it to me quite willingly. If I wasn’t in a hurry to get the next treasure, I would have a good chat with the dragon.”
Looking at how sincere and honest Tian Xu seemed, Lin Fan actually bought his words.
“Master, I will definitely pay the Ice heaven demon dragon a visit when I go to the South city Ice valley in the future. Maybe it will welcome me warmly if I mention that I’m your disciple.”
Lin Fan laughed.
“Yes, you should.” Tian Xu said, giving Lin Fan a thin smile. “However, the weather at the Ice valley is bizarre; even I can barely take it, so disciple should refrain from making a trip there until he’s stronger.”
And with that, Tian Xu ended the conversation. It’s evident that he didn’t want to talk much about it. Another drop of blood with intense energy could be seen floating in the air within no time.
The blood drop was so small that it was barely the size of a grain. However, the drop still shone brightly. A beast’s illusion could be seen on top of the drop. It hovered in the air in a mighty posture.
“This is a drop of the Huanggu Vicious Apes’ blood. It’s their essence blood. It might not hold strong energy, but it allows one to possess the pure bloodline of the Huanggu Vicious Apes.” Tian Xu said.
“Master, where did you get it from? Did a friend give it to you as well?” Lin Fan asked.
Tian Xu nodded. “Yes, Master has a good relationship with the Blood Eye Demonic Apes. They were having a ritual of passing the bloodline down to a baby ape, so Master went and asked for some. It’s nothing difficult.”
“Blood Eye Demonic Ape?” Hearing his words, the ape Lin Fan came across a few times crossed his mind. He didn’t expect that his Master would be close to that particular species.
Tian Xu then took out a few more extraordinary treasures and explained them one by one.
“Look closely, my disciple. Master will now refine the treasures for you. Not only will you need such precious items for it, but you will also need to accommodate the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Watch Master help you refine a good tool.”
“Heaven’s fire, burn.”
Tian Xu raised his hand, and a fierce ball of flame could be seen burning in the air above his hand.
The flame was unlike any ordinary flame. Even the Cyan Abyssal Flames was nothing compared to it. It was like a baby when placed aside Heaven’s fire.
Lin Fan took out The Imperial Cauldron of Heavenly River and lit up the Cyan Abyssal Flames. He jumped into the cauldron and took a bath while watching his Master refine his weapon.
~I swear that I must learn how to refine weapons. It will save me much trouble.~
~But this depends on the lottery. If the lottery is nice to me, I will not have to work so hard.~
~As for pill refinement, the frog can do it. There’s no hurry. I wonder how the frog is doing. Has it broken through to the Heaven Star Border now?~
~It has spent more than ten thousand years on the earth, and it was once a human. It would definitely have a lot of ways to improve its cultivation.~
On the other hand, Tian Xu was refining Lin Fan’s weapon with all his heart.
He might be a powerful cultivator, but he had to give his all when refining weapons, as treasures weren’t easily made in a day.
But to show off his strength to his disciple, he decided to do his best and end the process quickly.
When he saw Lin Fan having a bath in the cauldron happily, he was at a loss for words.
~Can’t you just pay attention?~
” Disciple, refining a simple weapon is easy, but not if it’s a treasure. You can only do so when you’re in the Heaven Star Border Stage Five or higher, as you will only understand the Law of Heaven and Earth then.”
Tian Xu then clenched his fist. The empty space boiled, and it was as if numerous laws could be seen. These were laws that only real elites could comprehend and understand.
“Disciple, we don’t have enough precious treasures now. You can only accommodate one law. Which do you want?”
Tian Xu looked at Li Fan seriously, as if he was doing something very solemn and holy.
“Master, I want the strongest law!”
Lin Fan shouted. He was taken aback by the current situation too. ~How powerful must Master be to be able to summon the laws by just grabbing?~
~When will I be able to be as strong as Master?~
“There is no strongest law.” Tian Xu shook his head. “You will need to understand it yourself, as the law will grow together with your cultivation. As a cultivator, you should not have the mindset that there is a type that reigns supreme.”
Lin Fan knew that his Master was lecturing him again, but he paid attention as his Master was way more experienced and would know more than him.
~I might have a cheat, but I shouldn’t always be arrogant.~
“Master, you can make the decision.” Lin Fan said. ~I shan’t think about it, let Master do the worrying.~
“Haish.” Tian Xu shook his head. ~What kind of disciple have I taken in? Why do I, the Master, have to do everything for him?~ But since it affects his disciple’s strength, Tian Xu did not dare to choose randomly. He waved his hand, covering Lin Fan.
Lin Fan felt that there was much energy coming out of his body and floating above his head in pictures.
“Disciple, how do you cultivate? All your skillsets expect the Transformation into god swordsmanship uses brute force.” Tian Xu said, expression changing.
He was dumbfounded. He didn’t think that his disciple would only practice skillsets that use brute force. This was a tough route.
“Master, don’t I have the Cutting space skills?” Lin Fan laid back and said.
“Stupid disciple.” Tian Xu glared at him. “Who told you to pick that up? That’s the Sunshine Sect’s skillset. And it does nothing other than waste your time. You will be able to cut space open freely when you break through to the Heaven Star Border. Why waste your energy on it now?”
“Ah?” Lin Fan’s heart jumped up to his throat. He was completely dumbfounded.
~I spent Ninty thousand points to get it to the third level.~
~And now my Master says that it does nothing? I think I’m about to vomit blood.
“Whatever, just don’t waste your energy on it in the future. This skillset is almost completely useless, and only useful when you’re in the Earth Star Border realm.” Tian Xu shook his head. “Since this is the case, I’ll accommodate the Law of strength. Remember that you are not supposed to feel the law of strength in your weapons before you’ve reached the Heaven Star Border Stage Five. It will tear you apart.”
“Law of strength, come here.”
Without any hesitation, Tian Xu grabbed a law. As if the law had intelligence, it tried escaping after seeing it was about to be refined into a weapon. But why would Tian Xu allow it to do so?
He grabbed it and clenched his fist, crushing the law. Tian Xu molded it into a spherical item and threw it into the Heaven fire.
“Trying to escape, huh? It’s your honor to be able to contribute to my disciple strength.”
Tian Xu’s long beard danced in the air. He raised his hand, and both the ice crystal and blood drop went into the weapon. Simultaneously, the many other treasures floated out and went into the fire, too, as if they were all free.
A powerful aura could be felt immediately.
The other peaks in the Magnificent Flame Sect.
When the other elite elders felt this aura, they all frowned.
“Tian Xu, you’re helping your disciple cheat.” Huo Rong sighed. “You’re making him such a precious treasure that’s of the Earth-middle class. How would the other peak leaders feel?”
He was the most upright elder of the Magnificent Flame Sect who always enforced and advocated for justice. He despised what Tian Xu was doing. To him, the competition between the disciples should be fair, and elders should not poke their nose in it.
~Tian Xu is great. He took out his assets and spent them on his disciple. How would the other peak leaders be able to fight Lin Fan in the future?~
~This was as if two smart students who are competing who would earn more in the future when one only has two hundred dollars to start with while the other has billions.~
~How are they to compete?~
Just then, Tian Xu grabbed the green-colored arm. “Pope, contribute to my disciple too.”
The cloud-like beard surrounding the arm disappeared. However, the freed arm remained still, as if it was dead.
“Hmph. Timid mouse. You’re even worse than your guardian.”
Tian Xu sneered coldly and crushed the arm with his energy. He then threw it into the Heaven’s fire.
Lin Fan opened his eyes wide. He felt that his weapon would definitely be stronger after the refinement.
“Congeal!”
A yell was heard.
It made space explode. Lightning could be seen shooting up to the sky. It was as if it was helping to refine the two weapons.
Boom!
Two waves spread outwards to the rest of the sect.
“I’m done.” Tian Xu said and sighed. A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead.
Lin Fan came out of the cauldron hurriedly. “Master, let disciple wipe your sweat for you. It must be tough.”
Tian Xu smiled in satisfaction.
“It’s fine. Let Master tell you that to me, refining a treasure is easy. Back then, I refined eighteen treasures myself and shocked the world. I was crowned as being the best in refining weapons. If not for my passion for cultivating, I’d still be the best in the world. Do you believe it?”
“Yes.” Lin Fan said without hesitation.
~ I’ll answer whatever Master wishes to hear.~
