Chapter 1068: Wang Xuanxin’s Worries

While refining pills and catching up on the news, Xu Fan received a battle report from Tian Jiao City.

“Four beast race Golden Immortals and their army of three million true immortals have been completely surrounded and wiped out.”

“If this keeps up, things could get messy. Grape, send two more Golden Immortal puppets to Tian Jiao City.”

“Also, set up a large emergency teleportation formation in case a Great Luo from the beast race shows up,” Xu Fan said after a moment of thought.

“Understood, Master.”

“Master, among the spoils, there are two intact beast race Golden Immortal corpses,” Grape reported.

“Bring them back to craft demon corpse puppets,” Xu Fan ordered.

Crafting demon corpse puppets saves materials, but the process is far more complicated than making Golden Immortal puppets.

Just then, Xu Fan realized something: the Hidden Spirit Sect followed a strictly righteous path.

There were no demonic cultivators, ghost cultivators, insect cultivators, or soul cultivators in the sect.

This meant he had no one to assist him in refining demon corpse puppets.

“Should I recruit a group of evil cultivator disciples?” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

In the Immortal Realm, power rules, and evil cultivators are in high demand.

Many Immortal Sects within the human race are controlled by evil cultivators.

As Xu Fan refined pills and pondered the sect’s future, a wandering true immortal arrived by the large lake outside the Hidden Spirit Sect.

A true immortal puppet appeared before the wandering true immortal.

“What brings you here?” the puppet inquired.

Relieved to see the puppet, the true immortal handed over an encrypted jade slip.

“This is a message from the Feiyu Realm for your sect. Please accept it.”

“Please wait while I verify the message’s authenticity,” the true immortal puppet said.

A small teleportation formation appeared before the puppet, and the jade slip was sent through.

“A message from the Feiyu Realm?”

Xu Fan waved his hand, and the information from the jade slip floated into the air.

“The Hidden Spirit Sect below is seeking a method for a master craftsman to advance to an artifact great master.”

“Interesting. I wonder what my future sect leader disciple is planning,” Xu Fan chuckled.

“Master, should we agree to this request?” Grape asked.

“Our sect doesn’t have any spare artifact great masters, but since the message reached us, we should at least respond.”

“Grape, check with avatar number one to see if he’s finished deducing the secret technique,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, avatar number one, who was enjoying the celestial dance in Star Moon City, suddenly received a message from Grape.

“It’s only been a short while, and you’re already pushing me,” Avatar Number One said with a grimace. He had already finished the secret technique but didn’t want to hand it in too soon, as that would leave him with no excuse to stay in Star Moon City.

“Master said the holiday stays as planned; whatever the duration, it remains unchanged,” Grape’s voice chimed in at the right moment.

Ten jade plates were flung into the air by Avatar Number One, then enveloped by a small teleportation formation and sent back to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“I won’t disturb Lord Number One’s leisure,” Grape said.

“You know you’re bothering me,” he retorted.

Grape’s voice had snapped Avatar Number One out of the enchanting state he was in, as this celestial dance was a slow, mesmerizing build-up.

Once that magical state was broken, it would be tough to get back into it.

Avatar Number One grabbed the pot of Immortal Drunkenness from the table and gulped it down.

“Switch to the Tide of Ten Thousand Immortals,” Avatar Number One said, leaning against the gorgeous dancer beside him.

“As you wish.”

The dancers and musicians stopped gracefully, bowed to Avatar Number One, and respectfully stepped back.

In the underground space of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan examined the secret technique deduced by Avatar Number One, his face showing satisfaction.

“Truly, my most skilled artifact crafting avatar!” Xu Fan praised.

“Using just 0.5 crystals of Xuanhuang aura can elevate a master craftsman to the level of a great master.”

“Though this secret technique is a bit intricate, it’s worth it.”

“Grape, how are the beast clan master craftsmen we acquired doing?” Xu Fan asked.

“They’re doing well in the sect. Most have already boosted their cultivation to the Quasi-Immortal level and are expected to serve the sect for 350,000 years.”

Grape’s calm tone hinted at the fate of those beast clan master craftsmen.

“Pick three who are obedient and use the secret technique to raise them to artifact great masters, then send them to the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Feiyu Realm,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master.”

In the Source Realm, in a world created by Grape, three beast clan master craftsmen gathered after finishing their yearly tasks, planning to unwind.

“Red Horse, among the three of us, you’ve got the most talent in crafting. You’ll definitely become a great master someday. When you rise in status, don’t forget about me and the Three Monkeys,” one of the Five Elements Spirit Monkeys said.

“We’re brothers here, no need to be so formal. Saying that just shows you doubt our friendship,” another beast clan master craftsman with a horse-like face said, raising his cup with a hint of annoyance.

“I’m just worried that once you become a great master, you might not want to hang out with us anymore,” the other Five Elements Spirit Monkey joked.

“My Qi Refinement talent is strong, but it’s still limited.”

“I have some hope of advancing to a great master, but not much.”

“Right now, my only goal is to work hard for the sect in crafting artifacts and become the leader of the demon division’s artifact crafting group.”

“Then I can ask Lord Grape for a horse clan partner, preferably from the Dragon Horse clan, or the Flying Horse clan would do.”

“By then, I can have a bunch of little horses to keep contributing to the sect.” The beast clan master craftsman with a horse-like face raised his cup and drank, his face lighting up with excitement.

Though they had been brainwashed, they still had their own dreams beyond serving the sect.

Just then, Grape’s voice rang out.

“Red Horse Clan Mark, Five Elements Spirit Monkey Clan, Spirit Stone Mountain, Spirit Great Mountain, all three report to World Number Three.”

The three beast clan master craftsmen exchanged glances, then stood up and headed toward the world Grape mentioned.

In Source Realm, World Number Three.

“Lord Grape, please assign us our tasks; we’ll do everything in our power to complete them,” Red Horse Clan Mark said respectfully.

The other two Five Elements Spirit Monkey clan master craftsmen looked eagerly toward the sky.

“You’ll be working at the original Hidden Spirit Sect in the Feiyu Realm for a while.”

“Since you’re all at the Quasi-Immortal level, your cultivation will need to be temporarily suppressed to the Great Ascension stage, and then you’ll be elevated to the level of a Great Master of Qi Refinement.”

As soon as Grape finished speaking, the three beast clan master craftsmen grew excited.

To them, their lives belonged to the sect, so it didn’t matter where they were sent.

But being able to elevate their artifact crafting level to that of a great master was a tremendous gift from the sect.

“We are willing to serve the sect to the death,” the three beast clan master craftsmen knelt fervently, declaring loudly.
