“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
Although Ye Fan did not regard the Twenty-Four Sword Techniques of the Heavenly Sword Emperor with much importance, he could not deny their power and uniqueness.
The fact that the Heavenly Sword Emperor was able to traverse the Immortal Realm with these twenty-four swords speaks volumes about their strength.
Sword Cloud Star, named after the sword, revealed that most cultivators there carried Flying Swords on their backs, which was somewhat reminiscent of the disciples from the Suspended King Sword Sect. It was clear that this was a Cultivation Planet that revered the way of the sword.
Since it was a Cultivation Planet that honored swordsmanship, it was only natural that there would be many prodigies in this field.
It would likely not be difficult for the Heavenly Sword Emperor to find a few suitable individuals to inherit his Twenty-Four Sword Techniques.
As for handing the Twenty-Four Sword Techniques over to the Suspended King Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, or Celestial Demon Domain?
Ye Fan had never considered such options from the beginning.
Sword Cloud Star was extremely prosperous, with rich Celestial Essence, making it a high-level Cultivation Planet where the cultivators were generally quite powerful.
Ye Fan moved forward, taking strides of ten miles at a time, arriving at a bustling city on Sword Cloud Star. He paused outside an inn named Eight Directions Inn.
The streets were filled with sword cultivators, each looking spirited and impressive.
The business at Eight Directions Inn seemed to be thriving as well, nearly packed with patrons and only a few empty seats available.
After glancing around, Ye Fan stepped inside and took a seat at one of the vacant spots.
Soon, a waiter approached enthusiastically, wiped down Ye Fan's table, and asked, “Honored guest, what would you like to order?”
Upon arriving, Ye Fan was unsure what the inn was famous for. Moreover, cultivators did not have a great demand for food; they only sought to satisfy their taste buds.
Thus, Ye Fan directly said, "Just bring me two of your best dishes! Also, pour me a jug of fine celestial wine."
As his voice fell, Ye Fan took out a High-Quality Celestial Stone and placed it on the table, smiling as he looked at the waiter. "Is this enough?"
Seeing Ye Fan produce a High-Quality Celestial Stone, the waiter at Eight Directions Inn's eyes lit up instantly. He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Enough, definitely enough. Please wait a moment; I will prepare it for you right away."
As if afraid that Ye Fan would take the High-Quality Celestial Stone back, the waiter hurriedly grabbed it and dashed toward the kitchen.
Celestial Stones were categorized into four grades: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme grade. The high-grade was among the more valuable.
The worth of a High-Quality Celestial Stone was considerable. Since Eight Directions Inn was not particularly renowned, one such stone could cover all the expenses for everything on their menu.
Ye Fan's action of taking out a High-Quality Celestial Stone made the waiter exceedingly happy.
After all, he could earn quite a commission from it.
Ye Fan's gesture immediately drew the attention of other diners in Eight Directions Inn, who couldn't help but glance his way.
At that moment, someone spoke up: "Rich Man! Just for some food and drink, you give a High-Quality Celestial Stone? Brother, you really are wealthy!"
Hearing this, Ye Fan turned his gaze to see a young man with an extraordinary demeanor. Besides him sat another man and a woman. The man had an upright posture that exuded strength and valor.
The woman possessed an elegant aura and ethereal beauty, resembling a refined lady from a noble family.
All three had swords beside them, clearly indicating they were sword cultivators.
Ye Fan casually glanced around and smiled at the young man who had spoken, saying, "It's just a High-Quality Celestial Stone, nothing to fuss about."
What Ye Fan said was true. He had refined the Celestial Palace of the Sky, and within it were countless Celestial Stones. Not to mention High-Quality Celestial Stones; even the top-grade Celestial Stones numbered in astonishing quantities.
Thus, it could be said that Ye Fan had become a super-rich figure in the celestial realm as soon as he ascended.
Even the wealth and accumulation of an ordinary Celestial Emperor might not compare to Ye Fan's.
Therefore, a mere High-Quality Celestial Stone truly meant nothing to him.
However, when these words reached the ears of others, they took on a different flavor, causing a hint of surprise to flicker in some people's eyes.
The young man who had spoken stood up directly and slightly cupped his fist towards Ye Fan, saying, "It seems you must come from a prestigious family. May I ask which faction from Sword Cloud Star you belong to?"
Ye Fan shook his head with a smile and replied, "I am merely a loose cultivator and not one of the practitioners from Sword Cloud Star."
"Oh? A loose cultivator?" The young man was momentarily taken aback; he hadn't expected Ye Fan to be a loose cultivator.
Although there was a scar on Ye Fan's face, he did not appear very old. The fact that he could casually produce a High-Quality Celestial Stone led the young man to believe that Ye Fan must be a descendant of some major power or noble family.
After all, how could someone be so wealthy otherwise?
Even the other patrons in the inn shared this belief. However, upon hearing Ye Fan claim to be just a loose cultivator, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
A loose cultivator who was so wealthy, and his cultivation level didn't seem particularly strong either.
Some individuals with ulterior motives began to calculate in their minds.
"Not good, wealth should not be flaunted. This person is too ostentatious; it seems he has already caught the attention of those with ulterior motives." Beside the young man, a rugged-faced youth spoke quietly while drinking, seemingly reminding Ye Fan, but also alerting those with ill intentions in the inn.
His words were not whispered; although his voice was low, everyone in the inn, being cultivators, could certainly hear him.
Ye Fan noticed the strange glances from some people but paid them no mind. Upon hearing the young man's words, he merely smiled casually.
However, Ye Fan felt somewhat speechless. It wasn't that he wanted to show off; it was just that a High-Quality Celestial Stone truly meant nothing to him!
The young man seemed to be quite warm-hearted. Seeing that Ye Fan was alone and might attract unwanted attention, he appeared intent on helping him. He clasped his fists and smiled again, introducing himself: "This friend, I am Ximen Piaopiao. May I ask how you are called? Can we become friends?"
"Become friends?" Ye Fan slightly raised his head to look at the young man who called himself Ximen Piaopiao. The name was rather unique, but it seemed they weren't familiar with each other. Was making friends this casual?
However, seeing the other party smiling and looking at him with sincerity, Ye Fan realized that Ximen Piaopiao likely intended to help him avoid unnecessary trouble. It would be rude to decline such goodwill.
Thus, Ye Fan stood up and returned the gesture: "So it's Brother Ximen. I am Ye Fan."
This Ye Fan was not the same as the other Ye Fan.
"Ah, so it's Night Fan," Ximen Piaopiao said. "Since we are friends now, why don't we sit together?"
Without waiting for Ye Fan's agreement, Ximen Piaopiao pulled up a man and a woman beside him and said, "Autumn Sun, Rain Bamboo, come on! Let's sit with Night Fan."
