Xu Fan took everyone to the largest room, which was set up as a guest room.
After they sat down, Xu Fan looked at the couple, who often showed off their love, and said, “You two really went all out.”
“Did you find any more Soul Iron? I’ll buy the rest at market price.” Xu Fan looked at the two, noticing fresh dirt on the piece of Soul Iron, which was obviously freshly dug up.
The husband and wife looked at each other and both shrugged.
“We only found this one, and we’ve brought it all here for Brother Xu.” Murong Qian’er exclaimed lightly, with a hint of heartache in her eyes.
Xu Fan looked at Wang Yulun, who also nodded.
“You don’t even cut it in half and try to exchange it for some Spirit Stones. I remember you two are not wealthy.”
“You two honest people together are just too generous.” Xu Fan sighed, knowing that this was the couple’s way of repaying him for saving their lives.
“Haha, just accept it graciously, Brother Xu.”
“Brother Xu is a genius, and all these years, you’ve been helping us.”
“Now that we finally have a chance to repay you, we won’t hold back.” Wang Yulun raised his eyebrows while speaking, looking a little cunning.
“I accept your kindness.”
“How about this, I’ll give you both a package, and don’t you refuse.” Xu Fan thought for a while and said, “With this piece of Soul Iron, many of my Artifact Refining ideas can be realized. The remaining scraps are enough to make two sets of Treasure Artifacts for this couple.”
“What package?” Wang Yulun, who often chatted with Xu Fan, of course, knew what he meant.
“Equipment and elixir family bucket.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“I will cover all your Magical Treasures and elixirs before you reach the Golden Core Stage.”
“I am now a master-level existence in both pills and artifacts.” Xu Fan revealed a mysterious smile.
“Really? Thank you, Brother Xu.” Wang Yulun said excitedly, as he had received many excellent treasures from Xu Fan, both artifacts, and elixirs, which had greatly helped him and Qian’er in their cultivation.
At this moment, Xu Gang came in with a plate of fruits.
“I found some fruit trees outside, and the fruits on them are at their best taste right now.”
“I brought some for Master and seniors.” Xu Gang said with a simple smile. During Xu Fan’s coma, his grandfather had told him many things about what to do after becoming an immortal’s disciple, and he had kept them firmly in mind.
“It’s thoughtful of you. Go play with your little sister. We’ll start eating soon.”
Xu Fan saw the food box artifact that Murong Qian’er had placed on the table.
“Alright.’
Xu Gang happily ran out.
“He’s still a kid after all.” Xu Fan said with a smile as he watched Xu Gang’s hopping figure.
“It seems that Brother Xu is very satisfied with these two disciples.” Wang Yulun said.
“In terms of talent, these two kids are average.”
“But in the Cultivation World, talent is just the starting point, not the end.” Xu Fan sighed deeply and silently added in his mind, except for the protagonist and Zhu Jiao.
“Brother Xu, now that you have two disciples, would you mind taking on a third one?” Murong Qian’er said.
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Wang Yulun just stood there, grinning foolishly.
“Take on another one?”
“Are you going to introduce someone to me?” Xu Fan asked doubtfully.
Wang Yulun, who was sitting beside Murong Qian’er, happily touched her belly. This simple gesture made Xu Fan feel like his soul had been severely damaged.
“I see, just send the child over when they turn six.” With a forced grin, Xu Fan said, feeling a little regretful for having given the couple the ‘family bucket’ package earlier. This couple was simply too inconsiderate.
“Thank you, Brother Xu.” Wang Yulun said happily.
After chatting for a while, it was time for dinner. Calling on the siblings who were playing outside, the three of them got straight to eating without any fuss.
After their meal, Xu Fan thought the couple would head to their own cozy nest, but seeing Wang Yulun’s hesitating expression, he knew there was something more to discuss.
“There’s no need to hesitate between us, just say what’s on your mind,” Xu Fan said, looking at Wang Yulun.
“Big Brother Xu, if you go all out, how long do you think I can hold on?” Wang
Yulun asked. Now that he was at the 9th Layer of Qi Refining and Xu Fan was at the 8th, he thought he’d at least be able to hold on for Five Breaths of Time.
“Why are you asking such a weird question? It’s not about how long you can last,” Xu Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking that this kid was just looking for a humiliation.
“I just want to know. If Big Brother Xu goes all out, how long could we hold on?” Wang Yulun insisted.
“Considering the gap in dimensions, if I have to give you an answer, it would be just a moment,” Xu Fan thought for a bit before answering. A moment was equivalent to about 0.018 seconds.
“A moment! ” Wang Yulun felt insulted.
“To be precise, the moment I laid eyes on you, you already lost,” Xu Fan said calmly. Now, opponents of the same tier weren’t worthy of standing before him.
“Big Brother Xu, I treat you like an elder brother, but you
insult me.” Wang Yulun became a bit angry and wanted to stand up to challenge Xu Fan. He wanted to show Xu Fan that he was no longer the Wang Yulun of three years ago.
“Forget it, let’s go outside and have a match. It’ll be a good opportunity to broaden your horizons.”
With that said, Xu Fan led them to an open area outside. Under Xu Fan’s control, the earth-attribute giant puppet turned the area into a flat, paved stone plaza.
Xu Fan and Wang Yulun faced off against each other.
“Big Brother Xu, be prepared. If you can’t defeat me in a moment, you have to apologize to me,” Wang Yulun gritted his teeth and said. Now, he could rely on his Thousand Blades Flying Sword to go against Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
With this strength, who could defeat him in a moment at the Golden Core Stage or below?
“You can’t deny it, though.”
At Xu Fan’s snap, a spirit-formed feather appeared in the air between the two and floated towards the ground.
Wang Yulun watched the feather intently while a flying sword, a square seal, and an immortal calabash were ready to strike from behind him.
As for Xu Fan, he was just standing there casually.
As the feather was about to fall, Xu Fan warned, “Watch out for spirit attacks.”
“I know.” Wang Yulun was wearing a magical treasure specifically designed to defend against spiritual attacks.
The moment the feather touched the ground, a crisp sound of shattering glass echoed. Wang Yulun’s mental defense magical artifact shattered instantly, leaving his eyes blank.
“I can’t explain the gap in dimensions to you.”
“As punishment for losing, dance for everyone to liven things up,” Xu Fan said with a smirk.
As soon as his words fell, ten alluring, gorgeously dressed beauties’ shadows appeared around Wang Yulun.
The originally bewildered Wang Yulun’s expression changed to a seductive one instantly.
At this moment, some captivating music started playing.
She’s a lingering sunset
So many desire someone who can appreciate
He has a blue cloud window
Just waiting for someone to share with
Come on, let’s live it up, there’s plenty of time after all
Come on, love, there’s plenty of foolishness after all
Come on, wander, there’s plenty of directions after all
Come on, show off, there’s plenty of scenery after all
With the rhythm of the music, Wang Yulun’s graceful figure began to sway and dance among the shadows of the beautiful women. His enchanting and seductive dance moves even made Murong Qian’er blush a little.
Watching Wang Yulun dance gracefully, Xu Fan rubbed his chin and said, “It’s a pity there’s no X country here..”
