Chapter 1292: Bloodshed

In the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, at the Hidden Spirit Sect,

Xu Fan was observing the new batch of disciples.

Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation.

“Did Number Two just send me a message? Could it be about the entrepreneurial dividend?”

He then entered the underground space, a special secret realm.

As soon as Xu Fan connected with the message from Number Two, he was immediately shocked.

“A Primordial Supreme Treasure? I never expected Number Two’s venture would actually yield dividends,” Xu Fan said excitedly.

After reading the rest of the message, Avatar Number Two asked Xu Fan if he wanted to return early.

“Return? No way! Keep going and wait for the ultimate big dividend.” Xu Fan rubbed his hands in excitement, not expecting the first Primordial Supreme Treasure to come so suddenly, and even more so that it was such a perfect fit.

At that moment, Zhang Daqi, who hadn’t shown himself in front of Xu Fan for a long time, appeared.

“Master, I’ve reached the Divine Craftsman level and can now barely refine Primal Spiritual Treasures,” Zhang Daqi said respectfully, his gaze filled with reverence.

“Great! I thought I’d have to wait tens of thousands of years,” Xu Fan replied with satisfaction as he looked at Zhang Daqi.

“I was deeply inspired by watching you refine Spiritual Treasures in the treasury, and by a stroke of luck, I broke through to the Divine Craftsman level.”

A mirror appeared in Zhang Daqi’s hand, shimmering with the aura of a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

“The Observation Mirror, this is the Spiritual Treasure I refined during my breakthrough,” Zhang Daqi announced proudly.

Xu Fan examined the Observation Mirror and observed the arrangement of the chaotic runes, nodding slightly.

Though it seemed somewhat immature in his eyes, he could see the effort that had gone into it.

“Good job,” Xu Fan said, producing a Chaotic Rune Crystal in his hand.

“This contains eight major chaotic runes systems. Once you comprehend it, refining Primal Spiritual Treasures will be no problem.”

“The Divine Craftsman level may be the peak in the Three Thousand Realms, but there are limitless paths beyond.” Xu Fan encouraged.

“I understand, Master.”

Just then, Xu Fan received a message from the Yuan Lord.

In the Yuanshi Sect, Xu Fan looked at the Yuan Lord, Huangshan Heaven’s Destruction, and several other Great Saints from the Yuanshi Sect.

Xu Fan glanced around, looking at the Yuan Lord with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t often stay in the Three Thousand Realms, so many matters are handled by the elders in the sect.”

“This time, thanks to your influence, Divine Master Xu, I’ve made a little fortune, so I might as well treat everyone.”

The Yuan Lord’s tone was calm and indifferent, but Xu Fan could sense the underlying reluctance.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”

“Wait a moment, would you mind if I added one more person?” Xu Fan asked, then signaled for Grape to teleport Zhang Weiyun over.

Since they were eating something so expensive from the Yuan Lord, Xu Fan felt uneasy bringing Zhang Weiyun along.

However, with so many people present, adding one more wouldn’t hurt.

“Sure, one more or one less doesn’t matter anymore; we’re all going to have to pay up anyway,” the Yuan Lord said, seeming to have accepted his fate.

In the shattered world, at the Ten Thousand Saints Tower,

there were quite a few people, so they opted for a separate dining arrangement.

Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun were seated at a small table.

“Husband, this is so formal; the food here must be incredibly expensive,” Zhang Weiyun said, inhaling deeply the pure chaotic aura.

She had fallen in love with the place the moment she stepped in, especially the unique chaotic aura that seemed to intoxicate her.

“These things are pricey; just this meal could cost the Yuan Lord one of his Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures,” Xu Fan explained.

“Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure!” Zhang Weiyun gasped in shock.

“You’ll see when the food arrives.”

Not long after, a group of maidens glided in, performing a celestial dance as they served the dishes.

Their small table was soon adorned with six dishes, each emitting an aroma that was both enchanting and divine.

Zhang Weiyun took a gentle sniff and felt her bottleneck loosening slightly.

“After this meal, you can start preparing to advance to saint,” Xu Fan said.

“That’s impossible; it must be because of this meal,” Zhang Weiyun replied, stunned.

“Just eat and see,” Xu Fan said, placing a crystal-like piece of meat on Zhang Weiyun’s plate.

“Esteemed seniors, I appreciate your hard work during my absence from the Three Thousand Realms,” the Yuan Lord said, standing up with his wine glass.

“Of course, it’s been tough; the Three Thousand Realms haven’t been doing well without you, the top-tier fighting strength of the human race. Many things have required us elders to push through,” Heaven’s Destruction added from the side.

“And in these years, taking the Primordial Purple Qi crystals and various treasures from the treasury has made some matters quite difficult for me,” Heaven’s Destruction continued, and then Huangshan chimed in.

Soon, each elder began to speak, making the Yuan Lord’s expression grow increasingly awkward.

Can’t you all hold a conversation? Can’t you lighten the mood? This meal is turning into a disaster!

“You…”

“Forget it, I’ll send an avatar out in the future,” the Yuan Lord said after some thought.

Hearing this, the elders of the Yuanshi Sect couldn’t help but smile.

With that, the atmosphere became lively once more.

The Yuan Lord was once again the most revered figure among the human race.

This had nothing to do with Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun, who were simply enjoying the dishes on their small table.

Even Zhang Weiyun, who usually had little interest in delicacies, was now wearing the expression of a foodie.

“Slow down, savor the flavors; such delicious food deserves to be enjoyed properly,” the Yuan Lord said, approaching them with wine.

“Thank you for the reminder, Yuan Lord. But I’d like to try more of the Ten Thousand Saints Tower’s delicacies. After we finish these, could you bring us a few different dishes?” Xu Fan said with a grin.

He raised his glass and clinked it with the slightly stunned Yuan Lord before taking a sip.

“Xu the Divine Master, I’ve always treated you well; you can’t take advantage of me like this,” the Yuan Lord said.

“Not at all! It’s just a bit of money. Why not be generous for once?” Xu Fan replied, flashing a mysterious smile.

Seeing that smile, the Yuan Lord’s mind raced, and he quickly summoned the manager of the secret realm.

A few more special dishes were brought to Xu Fan’s table.

And so, Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun transformed into little foodies once again.

As everyone was indulging in the feast, a powerful aura suddenly descended upon the Ten Thousand Saints Tower.

The diners paused.

Moments later, the aura vanished.

“Esteemed guests, we sincerely apologize for the disturbance caused by our oversight at the Ten Thousand Saints Tower.”

“To make up for it, we’re offering an 80% discount today.”

A gentle voice echoed through the room.

“Yuan Lord, with an 80% discount, can we order a few more dishes?” Huangshan asked, his face glowing with delight.

“Sure, we’ll charge it to the Yuanshi Sect,” the Yuan Lord replied.

“Esteemed seniors, that chaotic saint’s aura just now must belong to a being from within this realm,” Xu Fan said.

“I not only know it’s a being from within this realm, but I also know where that chaotic saint comes from,” the Yuan Lord said, looking up.

“That’s a powerful being from a major force beyond the territories of the two Great God or Demon Empires,” the Yuan Lord added, his expression complex.

Seeing the Yuan Lord’s look, everyone knew there was a story behind it.

And so, all eyes turned to him with curiosity.

“Back when I had just become a Great Saint, I was young and reckless, wandering through the Chaotic Mist Area…”
