Li Xiaonan returned the Flying Sword to Huang Yan, smiling as he bowed to the three elders.
It must be said that Li Xiaonan's creation of the Jade Dragonfly, inspired by the bamboo copter from a certain cartoon, was a significant reform for the crafting community in the Starry Illusion Continent, where there were far too few auxiliary tools.
Huang Yan and the other two elders comforted the remaining eight individuals before sending them directly out of the Vermilion Bird Hall. They also sent an urgent communication talisman to summon the Grand Elder, who was currently watching a brawl in the Azure Dragon Hall.
"Hey! It's you again, kid. How much trouble are you going to cause me this time?"
Li Xiaonan chuckled awkwardly, bowed to the Scholar Principal, and sat down quietly without saying anything.
"Grand Elder, please take a look at this," Huang Yan informed him about the origins and functions of the Jade Dragonfly.
Li Xiaonan found it amusing to watch the four people gathered in a circle, gesturing wildly while making no sound at all. Clearly, only those at Fusion Stage or above could use such a silent communication technique.
Eventually, Huang Yan sighed and walked up to Li Xiaonan, saying with difficulty, "Li Xiaoyang, we plan to mass-produce the Jade Dragonfly. Are you willing?"
Li Xiaonan understood her meaning. These individuals were seasoned experts who immediately recognized the commercial value of the Jade Dragonfly. How many mid- to low-level Cultivators were there in the Starry Illusion Continent? The number was staggering. If they turned the Jade Dragonfly into a commodity for sale, it would amount to a tremendous fortune.
"Master's Wife, why are you being so polite? I already mentioned that the Jade Dragonfly can bring benefits to me as well as to Outer Academy."
Before Huang Yan could respond, she was pushed aside by the Scholar Principal. "Li Xiaoyang, does this mean you agree to let us have it?"
"The Grand Elder is joking. Yu Jizi is my master, Huang Yan is my Master's Wife, and you are Dog Egg's Grandpa. Bai Fengfeng is Dog Egg's god-uncle. Outer Academy has treated me so well; how could I possibly refuse for just one Jade Dragonfly?"
The Scholar Principal laughed even more heartily. "Good! You’re a clever one. Don’t say we’re bullying juniors; we’ll provide all the refining materials and manpower needed. You’ll get twenty percent of the profits."
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly. "No need for that; how could I accept benefits from Outer Academy? But have you considered that this refining method isn’t difficult? The materials used are also very common and ordinary. Once we sell it, I believe all the merchants in Starry Illusion Continent will want a piece of the action. At that point, Outer Academy’s profits might not be as substantial."
To put it bluntly, this Jade Dragonfly is just adding a propeller to the magic weapon to speed up the air flow and increase the speed. It can be refined by a Cultivator who is good at refining weapons. Outer Academy is sold like this, it would be strange if there would be no piracy! Scholar Principal’s mouth twitched, he turned around and surrounded the city with the other three people, and finally pushed Huang Yan out. Huang Yan looked embarrassed, and she said helplessly: "Xiao Nan, did you think of a way to do this?" Li Xiaonan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, I can guarantee this method. , 20% profit can be used to cover twice the original amount." He emphasized the word "20%" and said no more. Scholar Principal sighed and pushed Huang Yan aside again, "Li Xiaoyang, no matter what, you are also Dog Egg's father, and I am Dog Egg's grandfather. In terms of seniority, I It’s still your adoptive father. I can’t treat my son badly. Let’s do this. You will get 40% of all profits.” Li Xiaonan laughed, so happy that he couldn’t even see his eyes. “Thank you very much, adoptive father. The method is very simple, acquisition. Jade DragonflyThe materials required for refining." An elder frowned and said: "The materials used by Jade Dragonfly are too common. Although they are cheap, if they are all purchased, I don't know how much resources will be consumed." Li Xiaonan Waving his hands, he smiled and said: "You don't need everything, you just need to acquire Windstone." The four of them were stunned, their eyes met, Scholar Principal bit his lip, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Li Xiaoyang , you are cruel!” Windstone is also a low-grade material, but its output is not very large. Due to its limited use, the price is relatively cheap. All other materials of Jade Dragonfly can be replaced, but this Windstone is indispensable. Even if someone wants to imitate it in the future, there will no longer be a piece of Windstone on Starry Illusion Continent. How ironic that is. thing? Of course, Windstone is really the "only" Jade Dragonfly refining material, but that's not necessarily true. There are alternatives that can replace it, such as advanced Refining Materials Gale Wind Stone, but just imagine which fool would use advanced materials to refine a flight aid. Utensils? The cost is too high, so as long as Windstone is acquired, Outer Academy will be the only one from now on, and Jade Dragonfly can sell it however he wants. "My adoptive father was ridiculous. This is called monopoly. From now on, only our Outer Academy has Jade Dragonfly, and there is no other semicolon in Starry Illusion Continent." The father and son looked at each other and smiled, feeling extremely happy in their hearts. Scholar Principal also had other thoughts in his mind. Fortunately, he won over Li Xiaonan instead of pushing Li Xiaonan out because of that Idiot Azure Dragon, otherwise the loss would be huge now, not to mention Li Xiaonan is the grandson of Mei Qingdan. Will Outer Academy still be short of elixirs in the future? With this thought, he greeted Bai Nuo's mother and eighteen generations of his ancestors.
Li Xiaonan returned to the small courtyard with a cheerful smile, leading a group of people who quickly tidied up before moving directly into the Vermilion Bird Hall's Liuxu Palace.
In the courtyard stood a three-story ancient building, housing the weapon forging and alchemy halls, specifically for the true disciples to retreat and cultivate. Surrounding the courtyard were eighteen houses made of blue bricks, arranged in a circular arc, while the outer perimeter was lined with pristine Phoenix Trees, their thick trunks surely bearing centuries of history.
Nine Phoenix had already tugged at his sleeve, eager to try out the new place.
Li Xiaonan licked his lips and grinned foolishly, "Wow, this is really amazing! Let's go pick our rooms!" He looked at the three Stunning Beauties beside him, his heart already blooming with joy.
With a house secured, money in hand, and a wife by his side, life felt more than sufficient!
The group dispersed to choose their rooms.
"Senior Brother, what do you think?" Li Xiaonan had naturally brought Zhang Hao along. Unlike Li Xiaonan's good fortune, Zhang Hao had lost in the final competition. He smiled and said, "It's great, thank you, Junior Brother."
Li Xiaonan patted his shoulder and said with a grin, "Do you know who my grandfather is? Mei Qingdan! Even Bai Fengfeng from White Tiger Hall calls him senior. I think you should choose that room over there; it's closer to my grandfather's place, making it easier for you to visit."
Zhang Hao was taken aback. In the cultivation world, good things were usually kept hidden; it was rare for someone like Li Xiaonan to be so generous in sharing. He hesitated and said, "Isn't that inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate about it? We are brothers; my grandfather is your grandfather too!"
Zhang Hao nodded. He thought about how he already owed Li Xiaonan quite a few favors and figured one more wouldn’t hurt. Having made up his mind, he walked directly toward the vacant room.
Li Xiaonan stood in the center of the courtyard, gazing up at the boundless blue sky. He let out a long sigh; since the massacre of the Li Family Fortress, he had never felt as relaxed and content as he did today.
"Li Xiaoyang!" The Scholar Principal hurriedly rushed into Liuxu Palace and found Li Xiaonan, who had just moved into his new home.
Li Xiaonan was taken aback and smiled, "What brings you here, adoptive father?"
“Dog Egg is in trouble!”
“What?” Everyone rushed out of the house. Li Dogdan was the treasure of them all; how could anything happen to him? Moreover, he had gone out with Bai Fengfeng—how could there be any trouble?
Scholar Principal, not knowing how to explain, directly grabbed Li Xiaonan and flew towards White Tiger Hall, followed by three men and three women.
As soon as Li Xiaonan saw Bai Fengfeng, he froze. Bai Fengfeng was at the late stage of integration, and now he lay on the bed, pale and covered in a shocking red.
Mei Qingdan gently touched Bai Fengfeng's wrist, frowning slightly, before shoving a pill into his mouth.
Moments later, Bai Fengfeng slowly regained consciousness. As he recounted what had happened in fits and starts, everyone in the room frowned deeply; they had truly provoked someone they shouldn't have.
Originally, Bai Fengfeng planned to take Li Dogdan to Xiao Hai City for some fun and to collect some spiritual herbs. Unexpectedly, while passing Tian Yu Island, they encountered Tian Yu Dao Ren. This person was eccentric and bloodthirsty, having long given up on Transcend Tribulation to cultivate as a Scattered Immortal instead.
The moment he saw Li Dogdan, his eyes lit up as if he wanted to devour him whole. With a grin and sweet words, he tricked Li Dogdan away. Bai Fengfeng would never agree to that, but by the time he tried to stop it, Li Dogdan had already been taken away by Tian Yu Dao Ren.
The two clashed as they were incompatible. Although Bai Fengfeng was not weak, he was facing a first-tier Scattered Immortal. He fought with all his might but was slapped into the sea by Tian Yu Dao Ren. When he regained consciousness, both Li Dogdan and Tian Yu Dao Ren had vanished without a trace. He could only send out an emergency communication talisman from Outer Academy and wait for rescue.
Li Xiaonan frowned and thanked Elder Bai before leading everyone away from White Tiger Hall.
“Xiao Nan…” Ling Kui spoke up with a worried expression. While she was concerned about Li Dogdan, she was even more worried about Li Xiaonan. He had just suffered a massacre of his family, and now his son had been kidnapped by a Scattered Immortal.
“Don’t worry; Dog Egg will be fine. He is my son,” Li Xiaonan forced a smile.
“Foolish grandson, your smile looks worse than crying. Let me accompany you on this trip!” Mei Qingdan patted his shoulder.
Li Xiaonan shook his head. “Grandfather, please prepare some pills for me instead. You should be close to ascending; it’s better not to run around. I’ll have Nine Phoenix accompany me to rescue Dog Egg.”
He pondered for a moment and decided to lead everyone back to Liuxu Palace. Now, the only ones who could compete with the Scattered Immortal were the Ninth-Order Spirit Beasts and Mei Qingdan at the Great Ascension stage.
Li Xiaonan first reassured Ling Kui and Yun Moyu, who wanted to accompany him, before seeking out Mei Qingdan to retrieve Mei Yingluo's Ice Crystal Coffin.
“Xiao Nan, you should go save your great-grandson with me!”
Li Xiaonan shook his head. “Please take care of my mother for now. I'm just going to rescue Dog Egg; it's not like I'm challenging the Scattered Immortal alone. With Nine Phoenix by my side, if we can't win, we can still escape. You should stay at the Outer Academy; it would be perfect for guiding my senior brother in alchemy; he has great talent.”
Mei Qingdan sighed. From their previous interactions, he had noticed that while Li Xiaonan appeared easygoing, he had a stubborn temperament. He didn't press further and handed Li Xiaonan a large box of pills.
Li Xiaonan then sought out the Spirit Weapon. “Father-in-law, do you have any instructions for me?”
The Spirit Weapon held a cup of tea, his white hair obscuring his vision. He spoke calmly, “I told you not to go; will you listen? Sigh... The Scattered Immortal may not be an immortal, but he is not far from it. Aside from lacking the physical strength of an immortal, he possesses everything else they do. Be extremely careful on this journey; don't forget you promised me you'd avenge me—don't die before that.”
Li Xiaonan nodded. He had intended to refine the Carefree Fan, but time was running short. Fortunately, he still had the Heavenly Opening Axe that Mei Qingdan had given him, which was a suitable weapon since it recognized him as its master.
As he called for Fire Phoenix and approached the courtyard entrance, he saw Scholar Principal floating in mid-air atop a jade brush, dressed in a plain white robe.
“Foster father, what are you doing?”
“Dog Egg is my god-grandson; how could I abandon him? Moreover, Tian Yu Dao Ren dared to harm an elder of my Outer Academy; how could I stand idly by?” Scholar Principal said with a serious expression.
Li Xiaonan felt deeply moved. “Foster father, I've always had one question: what level of cultivation do you actually have?”
