"So you're trying to pick up some opportunities for your cheap apprentice." Fang Xuan ruffled his hair a few times, finally managing to smooth out most of the messy hairs, leaving only one or two stubborn strands growing upwards.
He gave up, letting his pubic hair stand on end.
“You seem quite interested in that kid. If it weren’t for the age gap, I would have suspected he was your illegitimate child,” Fang Xuan said.
"What kind of weird and wonderful ideas are you thinking about?" Ji Mofan felt that he had almost gotten used to Fang Xuan's wildly unpredictable thought process.
Although he felt this was not a good omen.
He admired Fang Xian's mental state, but that didn't mean he wanted to be like Fang Xian.
It's a bit too wild; it doesn't suit a well-behaved child like him who's been obedient since childhood.
Although Ji Mofan himself was unaware at this moment, he had actually been speeding towards the Wild direction for a long time.
I'm afraid that now, apart from himself, no one in the entire Yuncang Sword Sect would think that the chief disciple is still the same submissive and obedient person he used to be.
In other words, Mo Fan felt that he had done his best in his performance.
On the contrary, Fang Xuan, although he often seems to be in a worrying mental state, has a reputation that is not too bad overall.
They're just occasionally a little disobedient and sometimes behave recklessly.
His thoughts raced around before returning to their source. Ji Mofan drew his sword first and stepped into the rain-soaked area.
Before his footsteps completely touched the damp ground, Ji Mofan's sword flashed through the air, leaving several streaks of light.
Light blue threads flowed in mid-air, forming the shape of an array. Ji Mofan then flicked the tip of his sword, causing the small array to land on a withered tree in the distance.
Spotting the lightning bolt descending from Ji Mofan, he unexpectedly veered off course in mid-air, striking the withered tree branch with a crack, and hitting the formation squarely.
"A lightning-attracting array?" Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow. "You've learned such an obscure and strange thing?"
Lightning-attracting arrays are usually set up outside the residences of large families to protect the peace of the home from fire during thunderstorms. Therefore, they are generally learned by cultivators who specialize in architecture.
As a sword cultivator, Ji Mo Fan should theoretically be practicing formations with offensive capabilities in order to advance his sword path.
Fang Xian had seen him use the "Solitary Fishing on a Cold River" technique, which was a complete killing formation.
So much so that now when I see him take out a lightning array, I can hardly ignore the slight sense of disconnect.
“I suppose I’m very knowledgeable, and you’re just ignorant,” Ji Mofan said.
"That's something I really crammed on before I left. The Misty Secret Realm is very damp, and we might encounter thunderstorms there. Better safe than sorry."
Ji Mo Fan didn't say that he specifically learned it because of this opportunity.
Fang Xian shrugged noncommittally as usual and followed Ji Mofan forward.
Although the rain was pouring down and there was thunder and lightning in this minefield, thanks to the lightning-attracting array set up by Ji Mofan, their only worry was that their clothes would get wet.
Fang Xian took out a water-repelling bead this time.
Ji Mofan looked at the light green bead in his hand and silently estimated its market value.
He had seen something similar once in his previous life when he took Qi Fengyu to an auction house.
Its quality was even worse than the one Fang Xian had, but that water-repelling pearl still fetched a high price of 20,000 spirit stones at auction.
Jimo Fan felt it was too wasteful and extravagant at the time.
It was something that could have been solved with a single spell.
Even at this point, Ji Mofan didn't realize that what seemed like a trivial matter to him was actually less important to others than finding a way to get tens of thousands of spirit stones to exchange for a water-repelling pearl.
After all, although the water-avoidance technique does not consume much spiritual energy, it requires very precise control from the user. If you are not careful, you may not only fail to clean yourself, but also tear your clothes or injure yourself.
In comparison, there are many other ways to earn spirit stones.
As for why Fangxian chose to use water-repellent beads...
Firstly, they're lazy; secondly, Changfeng Valley really doesn't lack that kind of money.
The water-repelling bead in Fang Xian's hand had a wide range of effect; even Ji Mofan standing next to him was spared from getting wet. Therefore, he didn't say much, and the two walked together in silence.
Until they walked all the way into the heart of the minefield.
Here is a small nest built of stones.
The roof was made of stone, and the inside was lined with straw. Although the thunder and rain from the sky continued all day, it could still be seen from the faint light of the lightning that the inside was still dry.
Although it's unclear whether any creatures are still using the place, at least the nest hasn't been damaged yet.
"Want to go in and take a look?" Fang Xian asked Ji Mofan's opinion briefly, but he had already stepped out first.
Ji Mofan didn't refute, and followed along.
He originally intended to go and see what was inside.
Moreover, if he were to leave Fang Xian's side by more than five steps, he would no longer be protected by the water-repelling pearl!
Rich people are hateful, but it's good to be rich.
At this moment, Ji Mofan even regretted why he had given Ning Weisheng all the demon beast cores that the Yun Cang Sword Sect disciples had hunted.
Given how things are unfolding now, he could easily pocket all the gains himself and then shift all the blame onto Changfeng Valley!
Since Fang Xuan took him away in front of the disciples of both sects, it's not surprising that he would take their profits along the way.
However, Ji Mofan only entertained such a wicked thought for a moment.
Yun Cang Sword Sect is one of the newly emerging five major sects, while Changfeng Valley has a more profound foundation and deep friendships with many cultivation families and reclusive powerhouses. Given the existing animosity between the two families, if he were to frame the other for such an unreasonable act, it would not only exacerbate the existing conflict, but also potentially stir up the already turbulent forces in the cultivation world.
He may be selfish, but he shouldn't be so shameless.
Although it was just out of interest, Fang Xuan had genuinely helped Ji Mo Fan several times, so he couldn't possibly repay kindness with enmity.
This stone nest is surprisingly spacious.
The two adult men standing inside didn't feel cramped at all; they could even do somersaults inside.
However, a strange smell lingered in his nostrils, making Ji Mofan feel a slight itch on the tip of his nose.
Fang Xian bent down and picked up a dry straw from the ground to use as a catalyst, then made a hand seal to ignite a cluster of faint light.
Ji Mofan subconsciously took half a step back.
Because of his ice-elemental constitution, he has always preferred cold to heat.
They will instinctively dislike fire fueled by spiritual energy.
Even if Fang Xian has a wood elemental root.
Instead of using his own spiritual power to start the fire, he drew out wood-attribute spiritual power as fuel and performed an additional ignition incantation.
