#1077 - Chapter 1077 Basement Key
【 Congratulations, Host, for slaying a powerful enemy! Reward: Immortal Power Fragment X100, Vault Key X1 】
【 Vault Key: A key to unlock a mysterious vault 】
Xiao Fan hadn't expected to receive a special reward for casually killing a small-time thug.
“System, what exactly is this vault key?”
While inquiring with the system, Xiao Fan nodded and smiled at the surrounding cultivators, slowly walking towards his shop.
【 This system has already provided a clear explanation. It is a key to unlock a mysterious vault. 】
“I know it's a key to unlock a mysterious vault, but where is this mysterious vault?!”
Xiao Fan asked with a dark face.
【 Since it's a mysterious vault, the host will naturally have to find it themselves. Whatever you find in the vault belongs to you. If you can't find it, don't blame this system for being powerless. 】
“Aren't you providing a map this time?”
Xiao Fan frowned.
【 That will be one million Immortal Stones, please. If the host can provide them, this system will provide a map. If you can't… Oh! I've calculated it for you, and you don't have enough Immortal Stones right now! 】
“System, are you deliberately messing with me?!!”
Hearing the system's sly voice, Xiao Fan knew it was deliberately causing trouble.
【 Host, don't speak nonsense. I'm a good system dedicated to assisting the host's growth. How could I deliberately cause trouble? It's truly that the host doesn't have enough Immortal Stones! 】
The system's voice was still the same cold, electronic tone.
But the sly feeling made Xiao Fan involuntarily imagine a scene—
A cold, aloof woman suddenly using a sly, seductive tone to say these words to him.
Then, she would reveal an expression of “I love that you can't stand me, but you can't get rid of me.”
“How can it be so sly?”
Xiao Fan muttered through gritted teeth and walked into his alchemy shop.
Behind him, the group of cultivators who had been watching the show stopped in front of Xiao Fan's alchemy shop.
Looking at the shop's name, they discussed animatedly:
“This kid really is a weirdo! Who names their shop with such a strange name?”
“I think it's pretty good. It's a very straightforward name for an alchemy shop! Anyone who sees this shop will know what he does.”
“Can a cultivator at the Human Immortal Realm really be a good alchemist?”
“Are you stupid? Since this guy dared to provoke Zhao Shiqu and has a sister who Zhao Shiqu fears, how could he open a shop here without some ability? Otherwise, wouldn't he be losing his sister's face?”
“Not only that! He also obtained the Demon Subduing Blade from the Demon Lord. It's said that the Demon Lord likes this blade very much. Some high-ranking officials wanted to borrow it from him before, but he was reluctant to lend it out!!”
“I've also heard that the Demon Lord was willing to give him that blade. Since this kid's cultivation is ordinary, his strength must be in alchemy!!”
“I still want to know who his sister is!! It's not too late to try after we find out!!”
“Since that's the case, then you guys wait! I'll go in and scout the situation first!!”
A cultivator in the early Earth Immortal Realm, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, was the first to walk into Xiao Fan's alchemy shop.
“Welcome, what do you need?”
Seeing someone finally willing to walk into his shop, Xiao Fan couldn't help but reveal a hint of excited smile, even though he knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.
“I need some low-grade Immortal-level healing pills…”
The customer who walked into the shop, named Qiu Ren, was a cultivator in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Although he was willing to be the first to try something new, he was actually still full of doubts about Xiao Fan.
It's all because Xiao Fan's age seemed too young.
Even in Qiu Ren's memory, some of the most impressive alchemists in their Fiend Demon Realm were at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years old.
And Xiao Fan?
At first glance, he was only in his early twenties.
At this age, normal cultivators would probably still be well-protected by their parents and had never even left their own homes!!
Of course.
Qiu Ren didn't really believe that Xiao Fan was only twenty years old.
He never really trusted the so-called bone age at first glance.
“Healing pills, huh!!”
Xiao Fan nodded and smiled:
“The ratio in this shop is three portions of materials for one pill. If the customer agrees, please provide the materials needed to refine the pills, and I can refine them for you immediately!!”
“So cheap?”
Qiu Ren was surprised to hear Xiao Fan's words.
“Is it very cheap?”
Xiao Fan smiled. He was just following Ruan Yu's reminder, trading according to the normal ratio here in the Fiend Demon Realm!
What truly made him more impressive than those alchemists was that the quality of the pills he refined was better.
After knowing what the Immortal Fate Domain was all about.
Xiao Fan didn't have any psychological burden about helping these cultivators of the Fiend Demon Realm refine pills.
Anyway, you guys are fighting to the death like this, and it's arranged by the people above.
What can a mere Human Immortal Realm cultivator like me change now?
I might as well improve my strength step by step.
Wait until the future.
When there's a chance to resist those true high-ranking officials of the Immortal and Demon Realms, then I'll consider these things.
For now.
I'll just honestly earn money, earn resources, and improve my strength.
There's no need to think so much.
“Here are the materials ~”
Of course, Qiu Ren wouldn't be so stupid as to ask Xiao Fan to raise the price after feeling that it was cheap, so he immediately took out the healing materials he had prepared in his ring and handed three portions to Xiao Fan.
“Please wait a moment ~”
Xiao Fan put away the materials and turned to enter the interior of the shop, but in reality, he went directly to the secret room below the courtyard.
He wasn't worried that anything unexpected would happen to Qiu Ren left in the shop.
There was nothing in his shop.
Even if someone was bold enough to break into the courtyard where he lived, they wouldn't find anything.
Because there was nothing inside either.
Three portions of materials.
Xiao Fan didn't even need to do it himself. He only needed to let the system run in the background, and it would be refined in just a few minutes.
However, in order to attract more customers.
He was still prepared to do it himself.
Because only when he did it himself would the quality of the refined pills be better.
The materials that Qiu Ren took out could only refine the lowest grade Immortal-level healing pills among the Immortal-grade healing pills.
This posed almost no challenge for Xiao Fan!
