Chapter 686: Chapter 659: Hundred Thousand Years Jade Heart
"Main body, I have a good suggestion."
Xu Fan, who was running the show, was taken aback.
"What suggestion? You're not thinking of asking Number Two over, are you?"
"Heh heh, isn't he a specialist in refining Star Boats and such magical treasures?"
"Let him repair this for practice. He might be able to refine a similar Ten Thousand Star Boat afterwards," the first avatar suggested.
"Your proposal does make sense."
Xu Fan stroked his chin, falling deep into contemplation.
Seeing some promise in his reaction, the first avatar added fire to the flame, "What if we really managed to refine the Ten Thousand Star Boat? We could then carry out trades with other Middle Thousand Worlds in the Outer World."
"Don't you see the benefits that could bring?"
Xu Fan nodded in agreement.
"You're right. But since you're already here, just do a good job."
"When we return, we can just share the memory," Xu Fan said with a smile at his first avatar.
Swapping someone in midstream wasn't Xu Fan's style.
Just then, a flash of spirit light appeared, and Elder Ming Kong appeared before them.
"Grandmaster, how long will it take to repair this Ten Thousand Star Boat?" Elder Ming Kong asked with a smile, exceedingly polite.
"It should take around 15 years," Xu Fan gave an exact number.
In reality, 10 years would be enough. The remaining 5 years were for the first avatar to explore the Ten Thousand Star Boat and leave behind specific data for replication.
"I appreciate the trouble, Great Master."
A pure white jade talisman appeared in Elder Ming Kong's hand.
"This is my avatar jade talisman as a small token of appreciation. Once the Grandmaster repairs the Ten Thousand Star Boat, I will ensure to reward him."
"Whenever a danger arises that not even my avatar jade talisman can resolve, I'll come in person to rescue the Great Master."
"Despite my strength being slightly weaker than the Supreme, it should be more than enough to protect the Great Master in this world."
Elder Ming Kong's calm demeanor instantly gave Xu Fan a strong sense of security.
Is this what it feels like to be under the top-notch protection of the human clan? Xu Fan even contemplated taking a trip to the Four Phases City with the avatar jade talisman.
At this moment, a question occurred to Xu Fan.
"Elder Ming Kong, you're the pinnacle of strength for our human clan."
"Who would it be for the demon clan?" Xu Fan asked out of curiosity.
"The Great Supreme Elder from the Gold-devouring Tiger Clan and an Ancient Variant Purple Jade Flood Dragon."
"Unless there are some emerging talents, it should be these two," Elder Ming Kong thought about it and said.
Just then, Elder Ming Kong's expression faintly changed. He bent over to Xu Fan and said, "There's a situation in the Vast Void Domain. I need to attend to it."
"I'll arrange for someone to come here. If the Great Master needs anything, he can just tell him," said Elder Ming Kong, whose body then dissolved into sparkling points of light and vanished.
"You do your work well. I'll be waiting for you on Hidden Spirit Island to celebrate your victory," Xu Fan said with a laugh.
Soon after, the young man who greeted Xu Fan initially showed up and took him away.
Hidden Spirit Island, underground space.
The second avatar, who was playing a game, took off his headset and, with a smile, looked at Xu Fan and said, "It appears you've left Number One there to work."
The second avatar had a relieved look as if he was fortunate he didn't accompany Xu Fan.
"It was about repairing the Elders Association's Ten Thousand Star Boat. If I'd known, I should've taken you," Xu Fan said with regret.
"Why regret? Just share the memory when you come back."
"With our years of technical know-how, there's nothing that we can't grasp at one glance. If there is, we use two glances." The second avatar claimed proudly.
"Haha, that's what I told Number One," Xu Fan laughed.
The second avatar shot Xu Fan an approving look that said "As expected, you understand me best."
A jade stone sphere, the size of a billiard ball, appeared in the hands of the second avatar.
"This is a collection I've cherished for many years, lucky you."
"What is this that's so mysterious?" Xu Fan examined the jade sphere with his divine sense after receiving it.
He then carefully stowed it away; this was something that was better viewed alone in one's room.
"Where did you get all these things?" Xu Fan asked after a while.
"When I have nothing to do, I take a stroll in Linsen Immortal City and find these treasures," the second avatar said with a grin.
"This is just the basic version. The advanced version can directly project a physical image, do you want it?"
Xu Fan shook his head.
"Getting a look is enough, actually messing around... that's too... you know."
Even though the experience was similar, Xu Fan did not want to deceive himself.
"Up to you, just let me know if you need it."
The second avatar put on his helmet after saying this and continued to play games in the virtual world.
At this moment, Pu Tao's voice resonated.
"Master, the mining fleet in the inner area of the Vast Void Domain has returned."
Xu Fan was immediately intrigued; this was the first time the mining Starboat fleet had returned since he regained consciousness.
On the plains behind the main peak, five massive starboats slowly landed in the reserved parking space.
Underneath, a large number of transportation puppets waited to transport the spiritual mines.
At this moment, Flash Thunder Demon Lord arrived at Xu Fan with his wife and three fire cloud birds transformed into human forms.
"Greetings, Great Master, congratulations on leaving your seclusion."
"Please rise, you have worked hard over the years in the Vast Void Domain for mining," Xu Fan kindly remarked.
"No hardship, this little effort is nothing for the Hidden Spirit Sect," the Flash Thunder Demon Lord replied with a smile.
After all, he had already grown accustomed to life at the Hidden Spirit Sect over so many years.
He had his family by his side and even though the work was tough, the rewards were substantial.
After working for another thousand years with his wife, they would be able to afford an immortal item for their son.
The three Fire Cloud Bird Venerables behind Flash Thunder Demon Lord also had similar expressions.
In the Demon World, the strong preyed on the weak, and to serve a powerful being like Xu Fan was their honor.
"What good things have we mined this time?" Xu Fan asked.
"Hundred Thousand Years Jade Heart, unfortunately, it's not much," said Flash Thunder Demon Lord as he took out a jade box from his bag.
"No need to give it to me, put it in the treasure house," Xu Fan said with a glance.
These Hundred Thousand Years Jade Hearts could barely refine an immortal item.
"This Hundred Thousand Years Jade Heart can be refined into a Heaven Demon Holy Jade, which would be perfect for your son."
"When you're about to accumulate enough points, I'll have Number One refine it for you," Xu Fan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Great Master!" Flash Thunder Demon Lord and Bluebird Monster Venerable said gratefully.
Obtaining an immortal item and getting an item that perfectly fit oneself were two different things.
Even if they clung to a secluded life with their son in the Demon World for a lifetime, they might not be able to get an immortal item for him.
"And you three little Fire Cloud birds, as long as you work hard, you won't be short of benefits in the future."
Xu Fan's promissory notes were indeed attractive and enticing.
"How long does it take to wear out a catastrophe now?" Xu Fan asked.
When the second avatar was refining these five starboats, the great formation that he engraved was a sort of all-purpose formation.
Wearing down a catastrophe requires five Demon Lords or Venerables of the Mahayana grade to jointly control the formation, and proficiency also played a part.
"Reporting to the Great Master, on average, it takes eight years to wear down a catastrophe. And this is with the help of Lord Pu Tao."
