Chapter 1273: Special Effects

"Don’t waste your time; you can’t analyze the chaotic aura here," Yuan Lord said, leisurely sipping the Immortal tea that had been served.

"This chaotic aura is the most precise and unique I’ve encountered in all my travels across the large worlds and the Chaotic Mist Area."

"It’s also one of the things I desire the most."

Xu Fan took a deep breath and said, "There’s something unknown within this chaotic aura. If you try to replace it with something else, it would only achieve half the effect at best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Lord nearly choked on his Immortal tea.

"You actually managed to analyze it!" Yuan Lord exclaimed, clearly astonished.

"If we can find that missing element, we can produce as much of this chaotic aura as we want."

A ball of chaotic aura formed in Xu Fan’s hand, then transformed into a little bird that flew away from his grasp.

"Let’s set that aside for now. How about we collaborate on this half-effect chaotic aura?" Yuan Lord suggested, showing genuine interest.

"Yuan Lord, I thought you weren’t interested in such things before," Xu Fan remarked.

"Who said I wasn’t interested? Who wouldn’t be intrigued by Primordial Purple Qi crystals?"

"Now that I’ve traveled through the large worlds, this is exactly what I need most," Yuan Lord admitted.

"Alright, you provide the materials, and I’ll handle the refinement. After you sell it, we’ll split the profits sixty-forty."

"You get forty, I get sixty," Xu Fan stated firmly.

"Deal. If this works out, I’ll owe you a personal favor," Yuan Lord promised.

Just then, a group of stunning women from the human race appeared in the distance, carrying an array of delicacies as they floated toward the pavilion where the two were seated.

"The food’s here. Let’s agree to split it evenly—no fighting, no snatching," Yuan Lord said, preemptively.

"Is that really necessary?"

Before Xu Fan could react, the table was already laden with dishes.

A peculiar aroma filled the pavilion.

Xu Fan took a deep breath, savoring the scent as he said, "These dishes contain the ingredients needed to refine chaotic aura."

With that, he picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of meat that gleamed like crystal.

As soon as it touched his tongue, Xu Fan’s taste buds were overwhelmed with delight.

He quickly grabbed several more pieces and devoured them.

A surge of pure chaotic power rose from the top of Xu Fan’s head—this was the chaotic power contained in the dish, which filled his body, while the excess drifted away.

"This dish is absolutely divine!" Xu Fan exclaimed, his mind racing with ideas about how to recreate it.

"Hey! We agreed to split it evenly—don’t take my share!" Yuan Lord protested, grabbing a piece for himself.

Soon, the two were in a playful battle over the remaining dishes.

Xu Fan ate voraciously, while Yuan Lord did his best to protect his portion.

After the feast, Xu Fan looked at the empty plates and said, "Yuan Lord, should we order another round?"

"One million feet of Primordial Purple Qi crystals for one table. If you want to order, go ahead," Yuan Lord replied, rolling his eyes.

"Ten thousand Primordial Purple Qi crystals!" Xu Fan restrained his gluttonous desire.

"What is the Ten Thousand Saints Tower?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"It should be a power that surpasses the two God Demon Empires around us; I don’t know the specifics," Yuan Lord replied.

"Anyway, I’ve seen the Ten Thousand Saints Tower in other God Demon Empires outside of those two, serving special dishes that are even more expensive than here," Yuan Lord reminisced about the delicious food they had just enjoyed.

"Alright." It was another thing beyond his understanding.

After talking for a while longer, the two left the Ten Thousand Saints Tower.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the Three Thousand Realms." Yuan Lord’s hand rested on Xu Fan’s shoulder.

In an instant, they arrived outside the Yuanshi Sect.

"Don’t worry about the return of the Chaotic Holy Dragon; once it comes back to the Three Thousand Realms, I’ll help you hold it off for a while. Just have your sect hide in the Chaotic Mist Area for some time," Yuan Lord explained.

"What if that Chaotic Holy Dragon decides to stay in the Three Thousand Realms?" Xu Fan furrowed his brows.

"There are some things I can’t tell you right now; just know that the Chaotic Holy Dragon won’t be able to stay in the Three Thousand Realms for long," Yuan Lord said.

Xu Fan nodded, then broke the space and returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

In the courtyard, Xu Fan began to create chaotic aura using the various Spirit Materials sent by Grape.

At that moment, Xu Fan was suddenly amazed to discover that the system runic sphere within his spirit seemed to have automatically broken a part of its seal.

Although it was very faint, Xu Fan felt it once he saw the system runic sphere.

He sensed that the broken seal was enough to keep him busy for ten thousand years.

"Interesting, it seems that whether it’s the chaotic aura from over there or the dishes, there is something critically important to me."

At that moment, the chaotic truth came to Xu Fan’s mind.

"It can’t be this thing, can it?" Xu Fan pondered, stroking his chin.

Meanwhile, a crystal formed from chaotic aura floated in Xu Fan’s courtyard, emanating waves of special and pure chaotic aura that felt refreshing with every breath.

"Grape, test how long this chaotic aura can be maintained in the sect and what the cost would be," Xu Fan instructed.

"At your command, master."

In a short while, Grape reported back, "Master, to maintain this chaotic aura for the entire sect for one year will require two thousand feet of Primordial Purple Qi crystals."

"That’s quite an expense. Let’s set up a small world as a cultivation place open to the disciples and charge them at cost," Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.

Although he was a bit more affluent than before, such consumption wouldn’t last even ten thousand years.

"At your command, master."

Then Xu Fan went to the underground space, putting in considerable effort to create a Production Line for the chaotic aura.

"I miss Number One and Number Two more and more," Xu Fan said as he looked at the Production Line before him.

He originally thought about creating another avatar to help him but ultimately decided against it.

After all, cultivating another avatar from scratch involved continually splitting his essence and dividing his spirit.

At this stage, it would hinder his ability to break the system runic sphere.

With various Spirit Materials and Primordial Purple Qi crystals fed into the line, a special chaotic aura crystal appeared in Xu Fan’s hand.

"Grape, deliver this to Yuan Lord," Xu Fan instructed.

"At your command, master."

Meanwhile, in the Yuanshi Sect, Yuan Lord was helplessly listening to Huang Shan’s chattering.

"Okay, I know all that you’re saying."

"Is it not sufficient for me to add ten percent to the Primordial Purple Qi crystals I took from the sect’s treasury?" Yuan Lord said with a bit of a headache.

"At least add twenty percent; you know that some of those Primordial Purple Qi crystals were benefits for the sect’s disciples," Huang Shan replied.

"I understand; from now on, whenever I take Primordial Purple Qi crystals from the sect’s treasury, I’ll ensure to add twenty percent back to you," Yuan Lord promised.

"Forget it; if it continues like this, the sect’s treasury probably won’t become prosperous," Huang Shan shook his head.

Just then, a disciple brought over a special chaotic aura crystal.
