Chapter 328 Resuming Old Business

Time flew by, and three days passed.

For Shan Ji, these three days were a hellish experience…

Now, whether he opened his eyes or closed them, his mind was filled with digging holes…

"That should be enough." Ye Fan, after inspecting the results of Shan Ji's 'special training,' handed over the whip: "Begin."

The process of creating holes went smoothly, taking only about fifteen minutes from start to finish.

This was also thanks to Shan Ji's Vermillion Bird flames, as the refining of Crimson Abyss Secret Gold had always been a nightmare for ordinary artifact refiners.

"Well done." Ye Fan glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

Although in his eyes, what Shan Ji had done was still lacking, it was sufficient for the current situation.

After all, he wasn't planning to make it perfect, but rather to settle for second best, second best, second best, second best…

…It seemed…

Shan Ji's nerves had been taut before. Now, seeing Ye Fan nod, he immediately collapsed on the ground, looking like a dead dog.

He was practically panting, his tongue hanging out…

Although the torment of these past few days hadn't significantly depleted his demonic energy, he was truly exhausted mentally…

"Huh? Strange…" Shan Ji suddenly noticed something was off: "Big Brother, why has my demonic energy suddenly become smoother to circulate than before?"

"What I had you do before can train the precision of your demonic energy control," Ye Fan replied while inlaying. "Naturally, there are benefits."

Shan Ji immediately perked up!

There were such good things?!

So Big Brother had been silently caring for me all along!

So touching!

"If you truly want to become stronger, you'll need to continue this kind of training in the future," Ye Fan continued. "Besides avoiding unnecessary consumption in battles, it will also allow you to deliver more precise fatal blows to enemies."

"Big Brother, I understand!" Shan Ji nodded heavily. Da Feng Novel Net.

He wouldn't say anything more; he would incorporate this training into his schedule from now on!

Thinking about his usual training content at the pleasure house, Shan Ji suddenly felt a bit strange.

Whether it was the pleasure house or the ore.

Why was all his training content related to digging holes?

No matter!

As long as it was beneficial!

I love digging holes!

After placing the Soul Devouring Meteorite into the inlay hole, Ye Fan took out a pile of bottles and jars and various materials and started tinkering.

Before long, a bottle of fusion agent was ready.

After carefully coating the Soul Devouring Meteorite and the whip's handle with the fusion agent, Ye Fan had Shan Ji add some fire.

Fortunately, this time it was just for providing some temperature, with no difficulty involved at all.

Once the fusion agent dried, the Soul Devouring Meteorite became completely integrated with the whip.

"Is it done already?" Little Demoness, who had been silently watching, finally dared to speak.

"No…" Ye Fan replied speechlessly.

This was just the beginning.

Did they really think that inlaying meant just digging a hole and shoving something in?

Ye Fan set the whip aside and rummaged through his ring for the materials he had bought earlier.

Rainbow Gold, Deep Frost Mithril, Gold-Devouring Beast Horn.

These three ordinary materials were just enough for him to make an apprentice-level rune brush.

The reason was still the same.

Ye Fan currently had no cultivation, so he couldn't create high-level items…

However, apprentice-level rune brushes had their own advantages.

Because this type of rune brush could store energy, even those without cultivation could use the stored energy to engrave runes.

And apprentice-level cultivators were usually not very powerful, often facing the situation of drawing half a rune and running out of mana…

Unfortunately, this approach could only be used in lower-level circles and was not feasible for high-level rune engraving.

Otherwise, the number of rune masters would not be so scarce.

The shaping work naturally fell upon Shan Ji again.

Fortunately, this step truly had no technical content whatsoever, so Shan Ji, an outsider, could handle it.

After shaping was complete, Ye Fan had Shan Ji inject a little demonic energy into it, and this most basic and rudimentary rune brush was considered complete.

Looking at the freshly made rune brush in his hand, Ye Fan felt a mix of emotions.

He never expected to pick up such an entry-level item again.

If his former disciples and grand-disciples saw this, they would probably have their jaws drop!

Speaking of which, how long ago was it that he used such a thing for the first time?

It seemed…

A very, very long time ago…

Ye Fan did not start immediately but had Shan Ji continue making new rune brushes.

"This thing doesn't look like it would break easily, so why make so many?" Little Demoness asked curiously.

"Because this type of item is too basic, so its energy storage is limited, and its stability is extremely poor," Ye Fan explained. "Furthermore, converting your demonic energy or fiendish energy into true qi would put even more strain on it."

Little Demoness and the others, who were laymen, heard this and were completely bewildered, blinking in confusion.

It sounded like they understood, but at the same time, they didn't seem to understand at all…

Ye Fan picked up a rune brush and began to get busy.

Although he hadn't made any moves since his transmigration, the situation of being rusty was impossible for him.

He had done these things countless times before; they had already become an ingrained part of his instincts.

The moment he put pen to paper, Ye Fan's aura suddenly changed!

This was a unique aura that came from mastering a skill to its peak.

Even though Ye Fan wasn't deliberately trying, he still appeared unfathomably profound!

Little Demoness had never seen Ye Fan in this state before and was instantly mesmerized!

At this moment, Ye Fan felt like an existence standing at the peak of a pyramid, exuding the aura of a supreme master!

Was this… still the Ye Fan she knew?

But Ye Fan's serious appearance now was simply too captivating!

I like it!

Ye Fan's speed in engraving runes was very fast.

Every stroke was completed in one go, extremely clean and decisive!

It was as if he had done this countless times before.

At the same time, his hand was incredibly steady.

It felt more precise than the most sophisticated instrument in the world!

If some rune masters were to see Ye Fan's current demeanor, they would probably be utterly shocked.

What are you, an apprentice using a basic rune brush, acting like a master for?!

But if they saw that Ye Fan was drawing the 'Energy Conservation' rune, they might not be able to laugh anymore…

Using a low-grade basic rune brush to draw an eighth-level rune?

Is this something a human can do?!

Are they crazy?

Using a basic rune brush to draw an eighth-level rune, even if you want to commit suicide, it shouldn't be like this, right?

But why…

Did he succeed???

Then these rune masters would fall into complete self-doubt, questioning if they had learned a fake rune art…

In fact, let alone these ordinary rune masters, even Ye Fan's old powerful rune master friends would have their worldviews shattered if they saw this!
