Xiao Fan took out the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire map he had obtained earlier from his spatial storage, carefully determined the direction, and Xiao Yan and Zi Yan followed behind him, heading towards the location of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire.
The location of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire is not within the Gama Empire, but outside the Gama Empire, in a vast desert towards the Black Corner Region. However, compared to the route Xiao Fan and his group took back, it takes a detour and is already close to the border of the Mulan Empire.
Along the way, Xiao Fan also gave up the idea of having Xiao Yan carry the stone. After all, after a period of settling down, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and physique had improved. Continuing to use this method would not only lose its training effect but also waste their time on the road.
So... Xiao Fan came up with a new training method, which was for Xiao Yan and Zi Yan to spar.
Xiao Yan is a four-star Dou Huang, while Zi Yan has only just entered the Dou Huang realm. In theory, Xiao Yan should have the advantage, but Xiao Fan will not give him such an opportunity. He directly stipulates that the two can only use their physical strength.
Zi Yan's physique as the Ancient Dragon of the Void is such that even a Dou Zong-level expert would have a hard time dealing with her in terms of physical strength. Even with Xiao Yan's exceptional talent, he could only passively take hits along the way when facing the equally strong Zi Yan.
Xiao Fan looked at the two men with bruises and swelling on their faces (mainly Xiao Yan), and a smile would occasionally flash across his face.
The reason Zi Yan was so obedient was because Xiao Fan had brought out some good stuff. Xiao Fan promised Zi Yan that he would give her a bottle of his specially made sweet pills every time she defeated Xiao Yan.
When Zi Yan heard Xiao Fan's words, thinking that defeating Xiao Yan would be so easy, she naturally agreed. And every time Xiao Yan was defeated by Zi Yan, Xiao Fan did not break his promise and immediately had Xiao Yan refine pills to give to Zi Yan.
After all, Xiao Fan was too lazy to do something that required no skill.
However, Xiao Fan gradually discovered the subtle interactions between Xiao Yan and Zi Yan. Xiao Yan even attempted to bribe Zi Yan with pills to make her go easy on him, but Xiao Fan caught him red-handed.
For the next two weeks, Xiao Fan personally took charge and began training Xiao Yan and Zi Yan.
The reason Xiao Fan brought Zi Yan along was because he noticed that the spatial fluctuations caused by Zi Yan's attacks gave him a strange feeling after watching for a long time. This was also the reason why Xiao Fan took the initiative to attack Zi Yan.
The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has a great advantage in space; even simple spatial blockades cannot stop them. Xiao Fan is naturally very envious of such methods. Although he has the system and does not need to work hard, he doesn't mind having more skills.
As the three fought their way through the journey, they soon left the Gama Empire. A month had passed, and the shop in Xiao Fan's system was ready to refresh again.
Let's rest here for a while tonight.
Xiao Fan landed on a hilltop with Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, and nodded slightly as he looked at a peaceful forest in the distance.
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan both landed on the rocks at the mountaintop. Zi Yan lay sprawled on a huge rock, turning her head to look at Xiao Fan beside her, about to speak, when she discovered that Xiao Fan had taken out a complete large bed from his storage ring, and in the blink of an eye, a soft quilt had been laid out.
Zi Yan's large eyes were full of doubt. Although she was childlike at heart, she knew that no one would put a bed in their storage ring, right? At most, they would bring two soft blankets.
However, when Zi Yan looked at Xiao Fan's bed and the matching three-piece bedding set, she fell silent.
However, Xiao Fan ignored them, put the mosquito net on the top of the bed, lay down comfortably on the bed, stretched, and then said, "Junior brother, I'll have to trouble you with the night shift."
Xiao Yan: ......
Although Xiao Yan had grown accustomed to the hardships of cultivation, a slight wavering arose in his heart as he looked at Xiao Fan lying comfortably on the bed.
Could it be that simply enjoying yourself is the secret to advancing?
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan shook off the thought in his mind. His senior brother was a pervert, and everything related to him was wrong.
Only Zi Yan glared angrily at the hard rock beneath her, realizing for the first time that sleeping had been so uncomfortable.
However, Xiao Fan ignored them. Looking at the countdown above the system shop, Xiao Fan couldn't help but wonder what new items the shop would refresh.
What? He's out of Source Coins? What's there to be afraid of? He hasn't even had time to exchange them in his own storage ring yet.
As the countdown drew nearer, the system shop, which was the only thing Xiao Fan could see, was refreshed in an instant.
"Sigh~"
Looking at the refreshed results, Xiao Fan felt a pang of pain, realizing once again how hard it was to earn money.
[Great Azure Annihilation Finger, Mid-Tier Heavenly Rank Battle Skill] Created by a mysterious Battle Emperor, its power is enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, and shatter the void with a single finger. Price: 100000 Source Coins
[Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, High-Level Earth-Rank Battle Technique] The treasure of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, this technique condenses into a Thunder Illusion Body. The strength of the Thunder Illusion Body is similar to that of the original body; as long as the original body exists, the Illusion Body will not perish. Requirements: Cultivate the Three Thousand Thunder Movements to the Three Thousand Thunder Realm. Price: 50000 Source Coins
......
The dazzling array of goods overwhelmed Xiao Fan, but looking at the prices marked with numerous zeros, he could only weep bitterly at his remaining 520 Source Coins.
Xiao Fan was really drooling over the Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques and the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body at the very top.
Leaving aside the Heavenly Rank combat skills, the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body is undoubtedly the ultimate skill of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Countless forces are coveting this skill. It's just a pity that this is an ultimate skill that comes with the Three Thousand Thunder Movement. Moreover, the Three Thousand Thunder Movement cannot be cultivated without reaching the Three Thousand Thunder Realm. The strict cultivation conditions have filtered out countless geniuses.
Xiao Fan knew exactly how extraordinary these Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies were.
In the original novel, after learning the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, Xiao Yan used the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body's characteristic that if the main body is not dead, the illusion body will not perish. He actively used the Thunder Illusion Body to control the Buddha's Wrath Lotus to self-destruct, which was like a self-destruction method without any aftereffects. He turned defeat into victory countless times.
Xiao Fan could only watch with envy. Although both items were extremely attractive to him, they weren't essential for him right now. It wouldn't be worthwhile for him to pay too high a price just for these two fighting techniques.
After all, with the Three Thousand Thunder Illusions in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, besides the system, there are still opportunities to obtain other skills. First, there are the Earth-rank combat skills Cloud Crane Shadow, Shadow Prison, and Three-Colored Fire Lotus, plus the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire that he will soon obtain. Xiao Fan's attack methods are already sufficient.
Moreover, the Chaos Fire possesses terrifying properties. Having absorbed the primal power of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire once again, its power will reach an even higher level.
Besides these two most expensive items, Xiao Fan valued several other items that offered better value for money.
Chapter 10 Junior Brother, Your New Year's Money Will Be Safe for You
[Earthfire Pill, Grade 6 Pill], Effect: After consumption, it greatly enhances resistance to Tortoise Spirit Earthfire, granting a period of fire damage immunity. Price: 2000 Source Coins
[Myriad Flames Compendium, Earth-Rank Treasure Hunting Item], Effect: Automatically searches for unclaimed special flames (possibly exotic flames, beast flames, or soul flames) in the world. Cooldown: Once every six months. Price: 30000 Source Coins
Xiao Fan's gaze swept over the other items, finally settling on the Earth Fire Pill and the Myriad Fire Diagram.
Xiao Fan was unsure about the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire's condition before going to devour it, but with the Chaos Fire protecting him, he wasn't worried about his own situation. The Earth Fire Pill was merely a safeguard that Xiao Fan had found for Xiao Yan.
After all, Xiao Fan and the others had no idea how powerful the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire was now. With the Earth Fire Pill as a guarantee, Xiao Yan was more confident in his absorption.
Upon seeing the Myriad Flames Diagram, Xiao Fan immediately decided to exchange for it. After all, the Myriad Flames Diagram could autonomously find unclaimed flames in the world. Most beast flames were mastered by magical beasts themselves, and unclaimed beast flames would only continue to exist for a short time after the magical beast died, after which they would gradually dissipate.
Therefore, having the Myriad Flames Chart would make finding different flames much easier.
However, seeing the price of 30000 Source Coins, Xiao Fan felt a pang of heartache.
After glancing at Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged to the side, Xiao Fan pondered for a moment. He had been searching for the strange fire for his junior brother, so it shouldn't be too much to ask him to shed a little blood... right?
"Cough cough..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's expression changed, he coughed slightly, and then walked up to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan:?
Xiao Yan noticed the shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him, opened his eyes curiously, looked at Xiao Fan, and looked puzzled.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just need a few things. Could you give me your storage ring?"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan nodded slightly and, without any precautions, handed the storage ring in his hand to Xiao Fan, releasing the access to Xiao Fan. After all, if a storage ring that has been recognized by its owner does not have the recognition of another person, it can only be forcibly broken through, which may cause the items in the storage ring to fall into the void.
Xiao Fan took Xiao Yan's storage ring and scanned it with his soul power. Looking at the contents of Xiao Yan's storage ring, Xiao Fan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. However, after scanning over a few familiar items, Xiao Fan realized that his teacher had given his storage ring to Xiao Yan. No wonder he was so wealthy.
Seeing the mountain of rare materials piled up in Xiao Yan's storage ring, Xiao Fan didn't stand on ceremony. He took out one-fifth of each of the sorted materials and put them aside. After looking at the materials he had taken out, Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, then took half of the one-fifth he had taken out and put it back into the original materials.
"That should be about right..."
Xiao Fan roughly calculated the items he had separated using his soul power, then nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, all the densely packed materials that had been arranged disappeared from Xiao Yan's storage ring.
[Ding! Exchanged for Soul Transformation Grass, Source Coins increased by 100]
[Ding! Exchanged for a Tier 6 Wind Attribute Magic Core, Source Coins increased by 500]
[Ding! Exchanged for a Grade 5 elixir, the Spirit-Conquering Pill, increasing Source Coins by 300]
......
A cacophony of sounds erupted. Xiao Fan briefly blocked out the system's voice, and after a long while, he finally focused his attention on his remaining source coins.
Source Coins: 43250
Xiao Fan couldn't help but marvel at his teacher's vast wealth and power. He hadn't even finished exploiting them yet, and the source coins he had already collected already exceeded the accumulated wealth of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect over the years.
"System, exchange for Earth Fire Pill and Myriad Fire Diagram."
[Ding! Exchange successful. Source Coins -32000, Remaining Source Coins: 11250]
Xiao Fan looked at his rapidly decreasing source coins without feeling any heartache. He withdrew his mind from the system and saw Xiao Yan, who was already petrified, opposite him.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fan reached out and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, then said, "Junior brother, don't worry, all of this will definitely be worth the price."
"What item could possibly be worth most of my fortune...?"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan in front of him with deep eyes, his face full of grievance, and his hand unconsciously rose up, reaching for the Xuan Heavy Ruler behind his back.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Fan coughed, took out the Earth Fire Pill, threw it to Xiao Yan, and said, "This is the Earth Fire Pill, which can restrain the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire and enhance your resistance to fire attributes for a short time. With it, you will definitely be able to devour it successfully."
Xiao Yan caught the Earth Fire Pill that Xiao Fan threw to him. Hearing that he was 100% sure he could devour it, a hint of joy appeared on his face. After all, every time he devoured a strange fire, he was almost risking his life. Now that he could succeed 100%, it was naturally something to be happy about.
Xiao Yan glanced at the Earth Fire Pill, then remembered the mountain of materials in his storage ring. His expression turned serious again, and he said in a low voice, "It's just a sixth-grade pill. Do you expect me to go bankrupt?"
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan after hearing his words, then took out a palm-sized, fiery red array plate. It was covered with many flame patterns that intertwined and merged, and a dark hole was revealed in the very center.
"This is the Myriad Fires Chart."
Xiao Fan picked up the array plate in his hand and showed it to Xiao Yan while saying, "This thing can be used once every six months to search for special flames that are not owned by anyone in the vicinity. With it, finding strange flames is much more efficient. Do you think it's worth it?"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard Xiao Fan's introduction to the Myriad Flames Chart. He needed exotic flames the most to cultivate the Burning Technique, and every exotic flame was something that alchemists dreamed of. If there was even the slightest disturbance, countless people would be watching.
If what my senior brother said is true, then this Myriad Fire Diagram has saved me a lot of effort.
Although it can only be used once every six months, it's only for six months, so Xiao Yan doesn't care about it at all.
"Senior brother, is this thing really as amazing as you say?"
Xiao Yan looked at the array plate in Xiao Fan's hand, a hint of doubt on his face. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xiao Fan, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over the storage ring to Xiao Fan without any precautions. It was just that he had never heard of such a magical item before, so he naturally had some doubts.
"Hehe, you'll know whether it's true or not once you've devoured the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire."
Xiao Fan put away the array plate and smiled. The reason he wasn't using it now was that if the array plate pointed to the location of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, they would suffer a huge loss.
