Chapter 666: The Future Big Investor

“My understanding of the Dao is still shallow, and I need guidance from the Master Ancestor,” Han Feiyu said respectfully.

There are few people in this world who matter to him, and the Master Ancestor standing before him is one of them.

“Core Formation stage complete, sword heart contained, with no signs of spiritual energy from the surroundings.”

“Reaching this level, it will take some effort for the Master Ancestor to guide you further.”

Xu Fan said with a smile, raising his hand to catch a small fish.

He looked at it and then released it back into the creek.

“The Master Ancestor is teasing me again,” Han Feiyu said, scratching his head.

“What have you gained during your travels?” Xu Fan asked.

“The human race is weak; places without powerful beings in charge will surely be occupied by the beast race,” Han Feiyu thought for a moment and replied.

Over the years, he traveled to many places, and typically only in fairy cities or sects with powerful beings in charge could the common folk of the human race live safely.

“Do you have any thoughts on saving the cultivation world?” Xu Fan asked with interest.

“I’ve only thought about it in dreams; I know I could never reach that level in my lifetime.”

Han Feiyu had also thought about how the human race could win.

But the only answer he could come up with was that the human race needed a peerless strong being to slay all the Invincible Beast Kings of the beast race; only then could peace return to the cultivation world.

“One should always have dreams; you have great potential,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“I wish for that too, but unfortunately, it’s unattainable,” Han Feiyu replied.

“Don’t get too caught up in that; just focus on your cultivation,” Xu Fan added.

“Grand Elder, I want to buy a few Great Ascension stage puppets; is that possible?” Han Feiyu asked eagerly.

While fishing, Xu Fan turned to look at his disciple.

He realized that his little disciple’s courage was growing, and he was bringing out more valuable items.

“Generally, it wouldn’t be possible for others.”

“But since you are my disciple, we can discuss this matter,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

He silently thought, future Han Tianzun, you are willingly letting me profit; this has nothing to do with me.

“However, the price you offer must meet my approval; otherwise, your Number One and Number Two will not be acceptable.”

“Will spirit stones and Immortal Jade work?” Han Feiyu asked tentatively.

Xu Fan shook his head.

“I discovered several treasures in the secret realm; let’s see how many puppets I can exchange for them.”

A pile of extraordinary treasures appeared before Xu Fan.

Xu Fan looked at them and shook his head again.

“Though the items are good, the sect does not particularly need them right now.”

“Master Ancestor, what do you want?” Han Feiyu asked.

“Here’s the deal: you go back to the sect and take on some missions. Once you’ve earned enough points, I’ll have the First Clone Master Ancestor craft it for you,” Xu Fan said after a moment of thought, secretly assigning a few urgent tasks for spirit ore needed by the sect.

“That works. After wandering around for so many years, it’s about time I returned to the sect,” Han Feiyu replied.

He really appreciated his Master Ancestor’s approach; this fair exchange eased his sense of unease.

He also understood that his Master Ancestor wouldn’t take advantage of him.

If Xu Fan had offered him a Great Ascension stage puppet outright, he might have refused.

“Once you’ve got enough points, I’ll have them craft a sword formation puppet for you directly—no fuss,” Xu Fan added.

To make you a sword formation puppet, I’ll need enough spirit ore for three sets of them. That’s not too much to ask, right?

“A sword formation puppet!”

“Master Ancestor is really willing to make one for me?” Han Feiyu exclaimed, surprised.

During Xu Fan’s coma, when the beast race’s Invincible Beast King attacked the Hidden Spirit Sect, Han Feiyu had been there.

He still remembered the scene of the sword formation puppet controlling the sword formation to fend off the Invincible Beast King.

Especially the nine Immortal Swords transforming into one sword formation after another—it was unforgettable!

“If you earn enough points, I’ll craft it for you. If you earn even more, I can even remake the nine Immortal Swords for you,” Xu Fan said, narrowing his eyes.

After all, these items come from the system, so it doesn’t hurt to give them to my grandson.

“The nine Immortal Swords,” Han Feiyu murmured, his breath quickening.

He had plenty of spirit ore for crafting Immortal Swords.

But aside from his Master Ancestor, he didn’t have the connections to meet any other artifact great masters.

At that moment, Han Feiyu fell silent.

“Don’t overthink it. Everyone has their own opportunities. If I took one from you, the karmic debt would be too heavy.”

“The Hidden Spirit Sect has its principles,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master Ancestor, that’s not what I meant. I was thinking—if I earn enough points, could I buy a few more Great Ascension stage puppets?” Han Feiyu asked with a grin.

“Sure, but the more you want, the longer it’ll take. You’d better space out your orders, or your two clone ancestors might throw a fit!” Xu Fan replied.

“Master Ancestor, I’ll head back to the sect now and work on earning enough points for the puppet exchange,” Han Feiyu said.

“Go ahead. From now on, you’ll be one of the Hidden Spirit Sect’s biggest patrons,” Xu Fan said, waving him off.

“I’ll always be your disciple, Master, and your grandson,” Han Feiyu said earnestly.

As Han Feiyu left, Xu Fan watched the trail of light from his escape and smiled.

When Xu Fan called him a big patron, he was thinking of Han Feiyu’s future after ascending to the Thousand Worlds.

By then, Xu Fan was sure his grandson would become his true benefactor.

It couldn’t be helped—his grandson’s golden finger was just too extraordinary!

It was even more impressive than the celestial bottle in the hands of the real Han Tianzun.

That thing could only enhance spirit herbs early on, but this could enhance anything.

Just as Xu Fan was pondering when to ascend to the Immortal Realm,

a strange disturbance came from the distant grand formation, and Xu Fan received news that the Invincible Beast Kings had emerged.

“The rabbit’s finally here.”

A beam of light seemed to cut through space, appearing just outside the grand formation.

Two sword formation puppets and four Great Ascension stage puppets materialized behind Xu Fan.

Each of the four Great Ascension stage puppets held celestial tools temporarily pulled from the treasure vault.

“I hope this pays off, or the losses will be huge,” Xu Fan said seriously.

He closed his eyes slowly.

“Grape, allocate all available computing power to help me control the puppets.”

“Activate all the Spirit Gathering Formations in the sky.”

“Understood, Master.”

At that moment, Xu Gang and the others appeared beside Xu Fan,

and Wang Xiangchi brought along Han Feiyu, who had been about to leave.

“Watch carefully. Your Master Ancestor is controlling two sword formation puppets this time. How much you learn is up to you,” Wang Xiangchi said.

“Got it, Master.”

Han Feiyu’s face lit up with excitement. He hadn’t expected to witness a battle at the level of invincible respected elders just before leaving.

All the Great Ascension stage puppets had joined the battle.

The three Invincible Beast Kings who had emerged from the teleportation formation were still confused.

“This is a robbery!”

“Hand over all the treasures you’ve found, cripple your own essence, and we might let you live!”

One of the sword formation puppets declared boldly, its expression was defiant.
