Chapter 1041: I Can’t Rely on My Father for a Soft Life to Back Me Up

"Bring yourself to your peak condition, then drink this cup of Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea."

"If it works, it works. If not…" Xu Fan paused here.

"If not, there are plenty of secret techniques in the Immortal Realm to forcibly elevate someone to the Golden Immortal Realm; just pick one," Xu Fan continued.

"Master, does Dai’er really have less talent than me?" Wang Xiangchi sent a transmitted message.

"Do you have some misunderstanding about your own talent and what it means to be a Golden Immortal?" Xu Fan looked at the somewhat overconfident Wang Xiangchi.

"Master, I recently touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm, so I thought advancing to Golden Immortal would be easy," Wang Xiangchi said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"The difficulty is manageable; without my guidance, the chance of a true immortal advancing to Golden Immortal is only one in ten million," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Master, I’m being impatient," Wang Xiangchi quickly admitted, realizing he had gotten a bit ahead of himself.

He hadn’t seen his fourth junior brother; until now, he couldn’t even say the word “duck” to him.

Just mentioning it made him tremble, as if he saw something terrifying.

"Dai’er, you go back first; I need to speak with Master for a moment," Wang Xiangchi said to Mu Dai.

Mu Dai nodded and left after saying goodbye to Xu Fan.

"Master, will Feiyu face any issues going to collect energy sources in the other 108 realms of the human race?" Wang Xiangchi asked with some concern.

Since it involved Han Feiyu possessing the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, Wang Xiangchi let Mu Dai leave first.

"Do you still not trust your Master? If there was a real danger, I wouldn’t let Feiyu go," Xu Fan glanced at Wang Xiangchi and said.

"Ten thousand and eighty thousand years—this time might be a bit tough; just endure a little longer, and it will pass."

"By the way, your second disciple," Xu Fan said, taking out a Space Artifact and tossing it to Wang Xiangchi.

"Find an opportunity in the next few years to give this space celestial tool to Wujie; it won’t take long for that little rascal’s fortune to come."

"I mentioned before that both of the people you accepted possess great fortune."

"After all these years, it’s about time your second one shone," Xu Fan said.

When he counted his good grandsons, he also included Jian Wujie.

"Is Wujie’s fortune coming soon?" Wang Xiangchi said, suddenly feeling a bit sentimental about his ordinary path of cultivation.

"Why don’t I have a lucky encounter?"

"It should be coming; it might be the kind that connects directly to heaven," Xu Fan said with a smile.

Just then, Grape’s voice suddenly sounded.

"Master, your disciple Jian Wujie has suddenly requested to accompany Han Feiyu to other Immortal Realms for training."

"Jian Wujie is already on his way with Han Feiyu to the other Immortal Realms."

"That little rascal didn’t even give me a heads-up before leaving," Wang Xiangchi felt embarrassed, as his second brother left without a word.

However, he soon received a message from Jian Wujie, saying he was escorting Han Feiyu for a while and would return after a thousand years.

Just as Wang Xiangchi was about to reply, Xu Fan said, “Let him go; just make sure he doesn’t head to the frontline battlefield to seek death.”

There is a significant rule for disciples outside the Hidden Spirit Sect: except in necessary circumstances, one must never be in a place where fate cannot be controlled.

"Be safe~" Wang Xiangchi’s endless reminders finally boiled down to these four words.

"Master, do I really not have any lucky encounters at all?" Wang Xiangchi suddenly felt a bit unwilling to accept his fate.

"What more do you need? Just relax and take it easy."

"You might still be unclear about your own identity, and I don’t blame you. You’ll understand in time."

"No matter what lucky encounter it is, it will pale in comparison to your true identity," Xu Fan said.

Though Wang Xiangchi had heard similar words from Xu Fan before, each time felt different. This time, he naturally thought of his father, who was fishing by the lake outside the sect.

"I can’t rely on my father to live an easy life," Wang Xiangchi said with a conflicted expression.

"Haha, that’s an interesting way to put it~"

"I should tell your father about this another day," Xu Fan chuckled.

"Master, I spoke carelessly! Please don’t tell my father!!" Wang Xiangchi quickly added, realizing his mistake.

"Leave that matter alone; it’s your fault for being so loose-tongued." With a light wave of his hand, Xu Fan sent Wang Xiangchi back to his cave abode.

For some time after, Wang Xiangchi looked at Xu Fan with extremely mournful eyes.

One day, after Xu Fan finished teaching a group of inner sect disciples practicing the Ion Series Divine Technique, he considered checking the progress of the project in the underground space.

He then received a report from Grape that Zhao Fei’er, the Sect Leader of the Hidden Moon Sect and Zhuang Ling’s sister, was visiting.

In the guest hall, Zhao Fei’er respectfully bowed to Xu Fan.

"Please rise; the two sects are one and the same. There’s no need for such formality," Xu Fan said.

Over the years, the Hidden Moon Sect had developed quite well, especially its hidden missions, which had been completed exceptionally.

They resolved the issues of many disciples from the Hidden Spirit Sect who had been single for thousands of years, significantly replenishing the new generation of the sect.

Xu Fan was also pleasantly surprised to find that, under equal circumstances, the female disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect performed remarkably well.

"Grand Elder, the Hidden Moon Sect has developed well lately, producing many exceptional disciples with great character and talent."

"I kindly request the Grand Elder to allow them to enter the inner sect for training," Zhao Fei’er respectfully stated.

Upon hearing Zhao Fei’er’s request, Xu Fan fell into thought.

"The female disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect already enjoy the treatment of inner sect disciples; they were recruited based on inner sect standards."

"So whether they enter the inner sect or not is the same."

"In the future, when the inner area of the Hidden Spirit Sect opens to the Hidden Moon Sect, I will allow disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect to participate in my teachings," Xu Fan thought aloud, thus completely removing the distinction for the inner sect disciples of the two sects.

"Thank you, Grand Elder," Zhao Fei’er expressed her gratitude.

"For your generation, the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect can be considered peers with the fourth generation disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect. This will make distinctions easier in the future."

Xu Fan had no plans to recruit fifth-generation disciples recently, so he moved the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect into the fourth generation for convenience.

"Understood!"

A light sphere appeared before Zhao Fei’er.

"You have managed the Hidden Moon Sect well during this time. Take this Tea of the Wide Road and cultivation resources back to enhance your own cultivation."

"This way, you can manage the Hidden Moon Sect even better in the future."

Zhao Fei’er, the acting Sect Leader of the Hidden Moon Sect, returned with an excited heart.

At this moment, Xu Fan began to inquire about the details of the Hidden Moon Sect.

"Master, the most noteworthy among the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect is the first senior sister, Xiao Luofan."

"She practices the three hundred paths that you left in the Sutra Pavilion, and she is currently at the Void Refinement stage."

"Xiao Luofan? That sounds like a boy’s name," Xu Fan said, a bit puzzled.

"Before entering the sect, her brother mysteriously disappeared. To search for him, she used her brother’s name."
