285: I have no great ambitions.

A Second-Rank Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat!

This marked the complete success of the expansion of the large Artifact Refining Workshop at the Red Pine Sect's Artifact Refining Hall. All the investments were worth it, and it would earn a massive amount of Spirit Stones in the future!

Possessing the ability to refine large Second-Rank Flying Boats was not just about making money; it also meant possessing the capability to assemble an army of Cultivators.

As a strategic weapon, large Flying Boats were sometimes impossible to buy even with money. Moreover, they often had hidden tricks left behind by others, which could lead to suffering a major loss at critical moments!

Why was the Qiding Sect's status so transcendent? It was precisely because it was the largest Artifact Refining Sect in the entire Azure Profound Sect territory, and the cloud-breaking flying boats they refined were spread everywhere.

"Liu Xuan, give it to me quickly! Give me the token!"

With the successful refinement of the Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat, An Yunxi was the most excited and immediately asked Liu Xuan to hand over control of the Flying Boat to her.

Liu Xuan smiled and handed the Flying Boat token to her: "Senior Sister, take it easy, don't break the flowers and plants!"

"Got it! Got it!"

An Yunxi waved her small hand impatiently, her eyes fixed only on that big guy in the sky.

The Cultivators in the Artifact Refining Workshop were also incredibly excited. Liu Xuan had truly refined a Second-Rank Flying Boat; if the Liu Family ate meat, they could follow along and have some soup!

"Bai Shan, bring the people up quickly and listen to my command!"

An Yunxi shouted downwards.

"Coming!"

Bai Shan led a team of Sect Enforcement Team Disciples and flew onto the Flying Boat, operating it under An Yunxi's command.

"Hum!"

A circle of yuanci shields condensed in front of the Flying Boat, and a moment later, it transformed into a giant sword that slashed downwards.

"Boom!!"

The massive explosion sounded like thunder. The Red Pine Sect's Sect Grand Formation lit up, and all the Disciples looked up at the sky with curiosity.

Some people were panicked, thinking someone was attacking the Sect, and were ridiculed by the Disciples who knew the truth.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

An Yunxi was in high spirits and played for nearly an hour before settling down.

"If Senior Sister likes it, how about I give this first Flying Boat to you?"

"Give it to me?" An Yunxi turned her head to look at Liu Xuan beside her and shook her head, "Forget it! I'm just playing around. Even if you give it to me, I have no use for it!"

"How could you have no use for it?" Liu Xuan pointed to Bai Shan nearby, "Bai Shan is the Vice Pavilion Revered Master of Lingshu Pavilion. You can give the Flying Boat to them usually, and they can better collect intelligence for you, right?"

An Yunxi tilted her head in thought, always feeling like something was not quite right.

After a while, she slowly shook her head, "Lingshu Pavilion belongs to you. I am already very grateful that they have been helping me collect intelligence. How could I be embarrassed to trouble them with everything?"

An Yunxi did not stay at the Red Pine Sect doing nothing; Lingshu Pavilion had been helping her collect and organize intelligence to send back to the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch.

"Senior Sister, you are being too polite by saying that!" Liu Xuan pretended to look displeased, "What is mine is Senior Sister's; how could that be considered trouble?"

"Could it be that Senior Sister has never considered me one of your own?"

An Yunxi was stunned!

Liu Xuan was simply too good to her! He kept giving without ever asking for any return.

A Flying Boat worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones was given away just like that, and even an intelligence organization like Lingshu Pavilion held nothing back from her...

"Junior Brother, you misunderstood! That's not what I meant... I'll accept it, okay?"

An Yunxi looked at Liu Xuan sincerely, her exquisite and beautiful smiling face carrying a sense of solemnity, "Senior Sister will keep all the kindness you have shown me in her heart."

Liu Xuan: "..."

Sincerity is the ultimate move; Liu Xuan felt a bit embarrassed under her clear gaze.

...

A few days later.

The news that the Red Pine Sect had successfully refined a Second-Rank Flying Boat spread, and various forces, large and small, sent people to inquire about the price, wanting to purchase one.

However, Liu Xuan did not plan to sell them for the time being. He intended to use the first ten for his own Sect; only those in excess would be sold. Therefore, he only accepted pre-orders.

Given the current scale of the Sect's Artifact Refining Workshop and the speed of refining outsourced parts, they could refine about one every month. Pre-orders after the first ten would be at least a year away.

Besides Artifact Refining, the Red Pine Sect's Pill Refining Hall also performed well. Xiao Ran had promoted to a Second-Rank Alchemist. Although she could only refine one type of Second-Rank Medicinal Pill and the success rate was average, her reputation had been established.

Coupled with the unique poisons refined by Zi Ling and the Yao Beast Medicinal Pills led by Wu Qingyue, the Medicinal Pill business of Guanghui Tower was also flourishing.

When Liu Xuan was in a good mood, he would also refine a few furnaces of Medicinal Pills or accept some high-level Medicinal Pill orders from Guanghui Tower, which made the reputation of Guanghui Tower grow wider and wider.

In terms of Talismans, there was Lin Qingyun. Red Pine Sect Talismans were already a signature of the past, and Liu Xuan would occasionally release a few high-level Talismans, so the business was also quite good.

As for Formations and Formation Plates, it was just average. This stuff couldn't be outsourced like Artifact Refining, so Liu Xuan didn't manage it much for now, only letting Guanghui Tower acquire many damaged Formation Plates and Formation Materials to develop slowly in the future.

Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, and Formations—the Red Pine Sect was developing all four of the most important cultivation skills comprehensively and had achieved significant results, attracting the attention of many.

When everyone sent people to investigate in detail, they discovered that everything pointed to the newly promoted Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Red Pine Sect, Liu Xuan. This person was proficient in the Sword Dao and simultaneously proficient in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, and Formations...

"How can one person be proficient in so many things? Can he even learn them all?!?"

"What a pity! If he had joined a major Sect from a young age and devoted all his energy to studying one path, his achievements would likely be even more exaggerated."

Many people believed that the Red Pine Sect limited Liu Xuan's talent, as the Legacies in various aspects were not high, which led to him being distracted by multiple skills.

Yue Li also thought so, and for this reason, she specially came to the West Courtyard to find Liu Xuan.

"Junior Brother Liu, among the four arts of cultivation, which one are you most talented in? I can report to Revered Master and have her get you an opportunity for the Sect's high-level Legacy so that you can go further!"

Liu Xuan looked at Yue Li with a slightly surprised gaze; he did not expect her to personally come to him for such a matter.

Waving his hand to signal the maid to prepare spirit tea, Liu Xuan smiled: "Many thanks to Senior Sister Yue for your concern!"

"However, Junior Brother is actually not interested in the four arts of cultivation; I only treat them as a pastime when bored, and I don't want to learn any high-level Legacy!"

Liu Xuan said this not to show off, but as an excuse to politely decline.

If a high-level Legacy were given to him for free, he wouldn't mind taking a look when bored.

But this thing, which was considered precious by others, was of no great use to him.

Even if Shen Yunshu managed to get it and send it to him, it would incur a huge favor, and he might even have to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect in person to learn it.

After causing a bunch of trouble, if there were no benefits in the end, Liu Xuan would be a fool to go and learn some high-level Legacy!

"A pastime when bored?!"

Yue Li's cold face was stunned, seriously doubting if she had heard correctly.

The four arts of cultivation, each one was a profound path leading directly to the Dao; how could... how could they just be a pastime?!

"Senior Sister, you did not hear wrong!"

"I have no great ambitions in my heart; Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, and Formations are just for fun to me!"

"My only wish in this life is to marry a few more female Cultivators and have a few more children; I have no other requests!"
