Chapter 872: Return to the Scattered Stars Seven Units
Han Fei had intended to practice the Cosmic Sword Technique, but since even You Ye, who always had the best temper, was so infuriated that she wanted to kill him, it was impossible for him to stay at the Empyrean Waterfall anymore.
Han Fei searched for a moment and didn’t find Zhang Xuanyu. It was said that he had set sail.
Han Fei didn’t look for Le Renkuang either, who must be in the middle of a breakthrough.
As for Xiaobai, remembering how solemn and grave she always looked, Han Fei decided that he would rather pa.s.s.
Thinking for a long time, he didn’t know where to go.
He thought that his strength had increased a lot. Although the Cosmic Sword hadn’t acknowledged him yet, there was still a lot that he could do.
However, he had to polish it with real battles. Should he go to the Scattered Stars First Unit and see if there were any missions?
Han Fei believed that it was a great idea. The Scattered Stars First Unit was often responsible for the exploration of treasure troves. He’d be in for a treat if he found some relics.
Making a decision, Han Fei quickly turned the boat and flew to the Scattered Stars Seven Units.
A moment later…
Before Han Fei landed, he saw that Bei Huo was flying close with Guan Qingyan and Mu Jia’er.
Upon seeing Han Fei, Mu Jia’er waved her hand and shouted, “Liar, here, here…”
Han Fei: “…”
Inside the yard, Bei Huo looked at Han Fei with a weird expression and said thoughtfully, “Han Fei, you’ve been absent for a long time. Considering your rank, you owe us 1,082 refined ultra-quality spiritual weapons. Now that you’re here, come with me!”
Han Fei instantly perspired. “No, wait a moment! I’m going to the Scattered Stars First Unit for missions.”
Bei Huo chuckled. “That’s fine. I’ll talk to Liang Tian and let him spare your duty. The Fourth Unit has been swamped lately. We have to refine Divine weapons and a lot of ultra-quality spiritual weapons. Since you’re fast, you should help.”
Han Fei couldn’t feel more beaten down. Why should I help? I’m here for missions!
He suddenly had an idea. “Well, Senior Bei Huo, there’s something else I need to do. I…”
Pa!
Bei Huo laid his hand on Han Fei’s shoulder. “Let’s go! You think you can get away? You haven’t been here since you came back. Do you feel you deserve your waist tag if you don’t carry out your duty?”
Mu Jia’er secretly laughed and grimaced at Han Fei.
Guan Qingyan said casually, “Brother Han, we made a major breakthrough in the craft of Divine weapons. Based on Mu Jia’er’s idea, we are able to manufacture some Divine weapons with the help of some array masters on the Scattered Stars Island.”
Han Fei’s face was grim. Does this have anything to do with me?
Han Fei didn’t even have the time to enter the Scattered Stars First Unit before Bei Huo dragged him into the Fourth Unit. He pulled a long face.
If he had seen this coming, he wouldn’t have come at all.
When he came to the Fourth Unit, he found that all the refining rooms were glowing and emitting heat. Everybody seemed busy.
As for his old acquaintances…
Xie Qingqing and Gu Nan were seated at a corner of the refining hall. The two of them were talking to each other and making out when Han Fei came in.
“Ya…”
Both of them sat straight when they noticed that someone else came.
Gu Nan said solemnly, “Qingqing, I think this is a way to increase the odds of success in refining…”
Bei Huo looked at them as gently as before. “Gu Nan, have you finished your mission?”
Gu Nan choked for a moment and said, “Boss, I’m just taking a break… Fine! I’ll get back to work.”
Then, Gu Nan greeted Han Fei and said, “Welcome back. You’ve got a lot of things to do. Keep it up.”
Han Fei: “…”
Xie Qingqing, however, asked in surprise, “Han Fei, you’re back? Do you have any idea how many missions you owe? We’ve been covering up for you! No, I have to take a vacation. You’ll work for me…”
Han Fei was quite frightened. A thousand ultra-quality spiritual weapons? Even if I could craft two hundred of them in a day, it would still take me almost a week.
No, I have to evade these responsibilities…
Suddenly, Han Fei had an idea. “Oh! Senior Bei Huo, I learned some weird arrays when I was on the sea. I even had a theory that we may be able to craft Semi-Divine weapons without the help of array masters.”
Guan Qingyan looked at Han Fei. “Brother Han, what’s your theory?”
Bei Huo was also curious. “What is it? Jia’er’s solution is already a major breakthrough. Are you sure your idea can be better than hers?”
Han Fei nodded. “This is how it goes. Since arrays can be refined as items, why can’t we imprint arrays on independent molds? In such a way, with the right materials and craftsmans.h.i.+p, it will be able to produce Semi-Divine weapons in a streamline way. They might not be as good as handmade ones, but they’ll be Semi-Divine weapons anyway!”
Bei Huo asked in suspicion, “Huh? Your idea is very similar to the mechanism of the sea demons’ Refining Divine Platform.”
Han Fei was quite surprised. Did Bei Huo know of the Refining Divine Platform?
Shouldn’t that thing only exist in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley? How did Bei Huo know that?
Bei Huo said, “However, it has a strict demand on arrays. If you can really craft one, you’ll instantly be certified as a four-star refiner, if not a five-star one.”
Guan Qingyan nodded. “Brother Han, I think it’s a great idea. But wouldn’t the array be extremely complicated?”
Han Fei smiled. “As I said, I’ve learned a lot of strange array techniques on the sea. Maybe I can have a try.”
Mu Jia’er narrowed her eyes and said, “We’re both four-star refiners.”
Han Fei was stunned. “Both of you?”
Mu Jia’er nodded quickly. “Yes! Do you not know how long you stayed on the sea? It wouldn’t make sense if we didn’t become four-star refiners after such a long time.”
Xie Qingqing was quite frustrated.
Han Fei cackled. “Well, I think I have to consider the problem and sort out my thoughts for a couple of days. Why don’t I spend a few days in seclusion in the Fourth Unit and see if I can put my idea into practice?”
Bei Huo was stunned for a moment. “It’s not easy to decline such a request.”
Xie Qingqing instantly complained, “h.e.l.lo? What about his refining duty?”
Han Fei said solemnly, “Sister Qingqing, You can never do enough refining. Only if you focus on improving your expertise in refining can you really become an expert. Are a thousand ultra-quality weapons really important? No, not at all, compared to a great speculation.”
Han Fei solemnly walked into the cave. “Senior Bei Huo, I need to spend a few days in seclusion. Please don’t disturb me!”
Bei Huo thought for a moment and slightly nodded. “Okay! Everything is fine as long as you stay here.”
Guan Qingyan said, “Brother Han, I think we can discuss your idea.”
Han Fei quickly stopped him, “No! I’m still sorting out my thoughts. We can discuss it after we’re done.”
…
Han Fei finally found a refining room. He closed the door after he entered.
Phew! You almost got me. You want me to work? No way! I need to study the Cosmic Sword Technique…
As for the arrays on the Refining Divine Platform, they were indeed worth studying. The arrays to refine demonic weapons and those of human beings were not the same.
However, the study would take a lot of time. Even though he had learned the arrays on the Spirit Gathering Scripture, it wouldn’t be a simple task to craft a Refining Divine Platform that could build Semi-Divine weapons.
It would require the combination and connection of a hundred arrays. So far, Han Fei could only fuse a dozen arrays. The more arrays he were to fuse, the more factors he would have to take into consideration. The difficulty would soar exponentially.
Of course, if he didn’t have to paint the arrays, but only needed to give the methodology, then it would be easy.
However, he didn’t have to rush. Both Old Jiang and Jiang Qin had urged him to increase his strength. So, he shouldn’t waste his time on array studies.
Therefore, Han Fei took out the Cosmic Sword instead of the Refining Divine Platform.
Activated by Han Fei’s thought, a jade slip flew out of the Cosmic Sword. It was exactly the Cosmic Sword Technique that Shu Shan mentioned.
A moment later, information popped up in Han Fei’s head.
Cosmic Sword Technique (Heaven-Level, Divine-Quality)
Introduction: A tough technique that can make use of the power of nature. This sword technique can cut the sky and the sea apart but cannot be used in defense. Whoever practices it must be fearless and unstoppable.
Deduced Art: Unknown
Deduction Cost: 0/50,000,000
Note: This sword technique is imperfect, in that it does not fully understand how to make use of power.
“Huh?”
After reading the Cosmic Sword Technique, Han Fei felt like it should’ve been a saber technique or a fist technique considering its features, but it turned out to be a sword technique.
Han Fei furrowed his brows. He had to learn the technique anyway.
He had picked up some techniques on the bow, stick, saber, seal and fist. It wouldn’t hurt if he learned a sword technique.
What should his path be as a Law Enforcer? Han Fei didn’t know the answer yet.
However, he had been getting in touch with a lot of top-notch battle techniques. It almost felt like something unknown was pus.h.i.+ng him to do that.
Is it possible that my path is related to battle techniques?
No, no. I just happened to run into those battle techniques, and they happened to be not difficult to learn. Well, they’re probably not related to my path. I have to keep looking and learning.
Han Fei glanced at the Cosmic Sword. For some reason, he despised it and didn’t want it to acknowledge him as a master.
Never mind, I should wait a moment.
