Chapter 639
by fanqienovelChapter 639: Production Line
On the vast plain behind the main peak, five giant beast race warships and one moon-level giant beast race warship lay steadily on the ground.
Most of the disciples from the Hidden Spirit Sect gathered around to watch.
"These are indeed powerful tools; they can not only break spatial seals but also bypass the spatial defense arrays of the giant beast warships," Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction.
At that moment, Han Feiyu approached Xu Fan.
"Master Ancestor, why did you call for me?" Han Feiyu asked with some confusion, then his gaze shifted to the six massive giant beast warships on the plain.
"The ability to capture these giant beast warships is thanks to you," Xu Fan said with a smile.
"That has little to do with me. Driving a giant beast warship requires a beast king; being able to subdue them is the key. My contributions are merely supportive," Han Feiyu replied, displaying a typical air of worldly wisdom.
"Without your contribution, these giant beast race warships would not be so intact."
"What do you want in return? If you don’t have anything in mind, I can use one of these giant beast warships to help you modify a small star ship that will allow you to roam in the Extreme Void Domain," Xu Fan suggested with a smile.
After considering it, Han Feiyu finally replied, "I could really use a star ship to soar in the Extreme Void Domain."
"Alright, I’ll arrange that for you when the time comes," Xu Fan said with a grin.
In his view, taking the core of a giant beast warship and adding a few things together would allow for the assembly of a small star ship.
It wouldn’t take Second Clone more than half a month to complete the modification.
"Thank you, Master Ancestor," Han Feiyu said gratefully, feeling that the biggest changes in his life were finding the jade gourd and meeting his master.
"Grand Elder, how should we handle these giant beast warships?" asked Spirit Cut.
"Sell them to the Heavenly Refining Sect in exchange for some spirit ore; after all, keeping them won’t do us any good," Xu Fan considered before responding.
"You’d be better off processing them and transforming them into star ships to sell to other sects; that would have higher value," avatar number one interjected.
"Number one, don’t just stand there speaking as if it’s easy; if you want them modified, you should do it yourself."
At this point, Second Clone became displeased; normally, the modification of star ships fell under his responsibility.
"Can the few beast race master craftsmen in the sect independently modify the giant beast race warships now?" Xu Fan asked.
Currently, there were ten master craftsmen in the Hidden Spirit Sect, five of whom were sent by the Qianling Sect for training. They had been with the Hidden Spirit Sect for quite some time, so modifying star ships shouldn’t be a major issue.
Second Clone shook his head.
"They are still lacking a bit. I can guide them, but if left to their own devices, even with Grape’s assistance, they could produce subpar goods."
Hearing this, Xu Fan frowned; it seemed these master craftsmen were not up to the task.
"Grand Elder, that’s quite normal. In the past, the Demon Sect also wanted their master craftsmen to study star ships and planned to refine them independently."
"Those three master craftsmen studied for over a thousand years and still couldn’t grasp it; instead, their skills for crafting spiritual boats improved significantly," Spirit Cut added from the side.
"Forget it; let’s just sell them directly to the Heavenly Refining Sect. We don’t have the time to modify these things."
As Xu Fan spoke, he took out a very intricate communication artifact, set it up, and sent a message to the Heavenly Refining Sect.
"The message has been sent; they should arrive soon," Xu Fan said with a smile.
Regardless of the outcomes, this could be seen as a sudden fortune.
Let Grape thoroughly search everything on the giant beast race warships.
Seeing the freshly produced spirit ore, Xu Fan squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Not bad! I didn’t expect that one of the Star Ships chasing you would still be fully loaded, worth quite a few spirit stones," Xu Fan said cheerfully to Pang Fu.
"Grand Elder, do you think the giant beast race warship will come looking for us again?" Pang Fu asked with some concern.
"Probably, but so what?"
"There are only so many Invincible Beast Kings that the beast race can deploy at will, and they are all being watched by the Elder Council. Unless they send out three or more Invincible Beast Kings, they won’t be able to bully us in the Hidden Spirit Sect," Xu Fan stated confidently.
With those ten Great Ascension stage puppets, all equipped with top-tier artifacts, along with his Avatar Jade Talismans, Xu Fan had ways to handle anything that wasn’t the highest-tier Invincible Beast King from the beast race.
"This time, I asked the Heavenly Refining Sect for a batch of high-quality celestial tool spirit ore to forge some Immortal Swords, combined with a large number of artifact-level Spiritual Swords."
"When those beast race dare to come, I will show them what a Great Ascension stage sword formation puppet looks like," Xu Fan said while laughing.
Previously, Xu Fan didn’t need this; weaker enemies didn’t require a sword formation, and stronger ones couldn’t be handled by it.
If it were useful, the Spiritual Swords would not be enough, which is why Xu Fan only thought of this method to boost fighting strength now.
Three puppets could handle one Invincible Beast King: one for offense, one for support, and another to control the sword formation.
As Xu Fan calculated this, he suddenly felt something was off.
"So, it seems we might be lacking in puppets," Xu Fan remarked as he stroked his chin.
A sense of crisis arose again.
Thinking of this, Xu Fan took out the intricate communication artifact and sent a message to the Heavenly Refining Sect.
"It seems I can’t rest easy again."
In the underground space, although he saw the artifact-level Spiritual Sword Production Line set up by Grape, the core of the Phoenix Divine Fire was placed by Xu Fan on the production line.
"A standard artifact-level Spiritual Sword every ten days isn’t too slow," Xu Fan nodded and commented.
"If you assign five more beast clan master craftsmen to assist, they could produce one in five days," Second Clone suggested from the side, as he had a hand in designing this production line.
"This speed is sufficient; those beast clan master craftsmen will be needed for other important tasks," Xu Fan replied.
"Once the spirit ore from the Heavenly Refining Sect arrives, we’ll start production," Xu Fan instructed.
"Alright, just let me know when; lately, my apprentice has made some rapid progress, so I’ll take the opportunity to guide him more," avatar number one responded.
"I’ll catch up on the unfinished novels, and then we’ll get to work," Second Clone added.
Just as Xu Fan finished assigning tasks, his good brother Wang Yulun suddenly approached him.
"Big Brother Xu, do you know this person?"
A light curtain was projected in front of Xu Fan by Wang Yulun.
"Isn’t this Following Shadows? What’s wrong?" Xu Fan asked curiously.
"It seems Linger has a good impression of him," Wang Yulun revealed with a conflicted expression.
Upon seeing Wang Yulun’s indecisive look, Xu Fan remarked, "That’s a good thing; don’t be so conflicted."
"I’m not worried about that; I’m worried that Following Shadows doesn’t seem to be looking for a cultivation partner," Wang Yulun said.
"I’m afraid this might hurt Linger."
"Let nature take its course; Following Shadows has faced difficulties since childhood. He finally seems to be doing better, only to go through the pain of losing a wife," Xu Fan sighed as he spoke.
"He is indeed a pitiful child."
