Chapter 471

Chapter 471: Not Talented Enough? Not Insightful Enough? Is There a Problem in Front of My Money-Making Path?

"You can finally expand that damn puppet production line!" the Earth Crystal Spider exclaimed with joy.

"It was possible before, but there were many restrictions. Now it’s completely unrestricted," the Void Refinement Stage Puppet replied.

"Does that mean our City of the Beast Race will become even more powerful in the future?" the Earth Crystal Spider asked.

"Our fighting strength will increase a bit, but it still won’t be enough to effectively harm a beast king," the Void Refinement Stage Puppet explained, its eyes flickering with streams of data as if calculating how to deal significant damage to a beast king.

"Isn’t there any other way?" the Earth Crystal Spider asked, sounding a bit disappointed.

The City of the Beast Race still couldn’t stand up to beast kings, and their safety in the demon race wasn’t guaranteed.

"There is one way, but it’s risky."

"What is it?" the Earth Crystal Spider asked eagerly, fully embracing her role as town lord.

"Find a high-ranking master craftsman to forge the big weapon my master passed down to me. That would deter most beast king-level threats," the Void Refinement Stage Puppet said.

"A high-ranking master craftsman? Can’t a regular artifact master from the beast race do it?" the Earth Crystal Spider asked, grimacing. Stealing a master craftsman from another race was even harder than defeating a beast king!

"Another option is to train our own master craftsman, but that would take a lot of time."

As the Void Refinement Stage Puppet spoke, it projected a light curtain from its forehead, showing how long it would take to train a beast race individual with artifact master talent into a master craftsman.

"Let’s start by training our own. Later, I’ll see if we can snatch one from another major race," the Earth Crystal Spider said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, then I’ll start selecting beast race individuals with artifact master talent from the city to train. The early stages will be virtual courses, so it won’t take much time."

After saying this, the Void Refinement Stage Puppet turned and headed back to the City of the Beast Race.

By then, the puppet army had already disappeared into the horizon.

"Wait for me! Did your master say anything about teaching me a divine skill?" the Earth Crystal Spider called out as she caught up to the Void Refinement Stage Puppet.

Now that she had left her mother, she could no longer learn new racial inheritance divine skills.

"No, but if needed, I can send a message to my master," the Void Refinement Stage Puppet replied as it walked.

"I need it, I really need it!" the Earth Crystal Spider said eagerly. How could she pass up such an opportunity?

"You can write a letter to my master, and I’ll deliver it," the Void Refinement Stage Puppet offered.

"Do you think if I flatter your master in the letter, he might teach me a divine skill?" the Earth Crystal Spider asked with a giggle, already imagining all the compliments she could write.

"If you make those compliments creative enough, there’s a good chance it will work," the Void Refinement Stage Puppet replied.

"Creative compliments? Let me think about it when I get back."

With that, the Earth Crystal Spider scurried off toward the City of the Beast Race on her six short legs.

…………

On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan looked at the information sent by the Grape Spirit, his brow slightly furrowed.

"The God of the Beast Race? My greatest master? You are the most majestic and elegant being in the demon race?"

"What kind of nonsense is this? No creativity at all. If you want to learn divine skills, I can teach you directly."

Xu Fan’s frown softened, and then he smiled, as if an idea had struck him.

It’s just a divine skill of the beast race, and there are plenty of them.

During the 500 years Xu Fan spent in the little black room, he not only developed numerous beast race core techniques but also made significant progress with thunder techniques.

"This time, let’s be generous and send all the core techniques suitable for all beast race practitioners to the little spider."

A smile crept onto Xu Fan’s lips; after learning my core techniques, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for her to do some things for me in the future.

"Grape, please transmit all the sealed beast race core techniques from the Sutra Pavilion to that little spider," Xu Fan commanded.

"At your service, Master."

Long ago, when these foreign techniques were first created, Xu Fan had left many backdoors, with the most crucial being that these core techniques would directly backlash against their origin when used against the human race.

Thus, Xu Fan was never afraid of these techniques being used against humans.

With that understanding, the broader the transmission, the better.

"If it weren’t for the little spider’s reminder, I would have almost forgotten about this," Xu Fan chuckled.

"Master Ancestor, I can hardly hold on any longer."

At that moment, Li Chufan’s voice came from the training ground.

"Hold on, you’ve barely started. You, as a replica, have only unleashed eighty percent of your original fighting strength."

"You should at least defeat him; otherwise, to whom will Master Ancestor pass down his peerless divine skills?" Xu Fan said leisurely as he sipped tea outside the training ground.

It had been a while since he trained the younger generation, and he found it surprisingly enjoyable to jump back into it.

Thinking of that, Xu Fan looked at Li Chufan on the training ground, who was clearly struggling. He then summoned five drops of five elemental origins, transforming them into an invisible mist that enveloped the entire training ground.

There were also scriptures faintly floating in the air, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

The scriptures based on the path of the blade, along with the enhancement of the five elemental origins, allowed Li Chufan, who had been at a disadvantage, to grow more determined as the battle progressed.

"Insufficient talent? Insufficient comprehension? Is there a problem in front of the money-making path?"

"No problem!"

"What is the money-making path? This is the money-making path," Xu Fan said, a bit self-satisfied.

At that moment, a voice came from beside Xu Fan.

"Big Brother Xu, thank you."

"We’re family; why thank me?" Xu Fan shrugged it off, not taking it to heart.

He had to admit that, due to the concept of a hundredfold return from having a good brother, he had indeed paid a bit more attention.

As Li Chufan grew more courageous in battle, he gradually overpowered the replica that possessed eighty percent of his peak fighting strength.

Li Chufan pushed the replica away and then, taking advantage of the momentum, focused all his strength into a single strike.

With one mighty blow, a massive heavy-water giant knife formed, imbued with the essence of killing, directly cleaving the replica in two before it vanished from the training ground.

Exhausted from delivering that full-force strike, Li Chufan collapsed onto the ground.

Wang Yulun was about to step forward to help but was pushed back down by Xu Fan before he could rise.

"When I trained your two sons, I don’t recall you being this considerate," Xu Fan rolled his eyes at Wang Yulun and said.

"Focus your mind and sit cross-legged in quiet meditation to comprehend that battle," Xu Fan’s voice echoed over the training ground.

The five elemental origins continued to replenish Li Chufan with spiritual energy in the training ground.

"Understood, Master Ancestor," Li Chufan responded loudly while still slumped on the ground.

With great effort, he managed to sit up, gathering his focus while recovering and reflecting on the recent battle.

"Good resilience; you’re a fine prospect," Xu Fan commented, feeling pleased.

"Of course; after all, I carry the bloodline of Old Wang," Wang Yulun said with a hint of pride.

"Hehe~"

Xu Fan chuckled softly, recalling how he had wholeheartedly taught this guy, only to find that even now, he couldn’t surpass his own son.
