Chapter 1071
by fanqienovelChapter 1071: The Visit from Great Luo
In Tian Jiao City, the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple stationed there received a message from Grape.
"In half a month, the sect will hold a Grand Dragon Feast, calling back all disciples from outside to participate."
"I’ve read the sect’s battle reports. The Grand Elder controlled a Golden Immortal puppet and single-handedly took on nine Golden Immortal true dragons. The scene was absolutely breathtaking."
"Three Golden Immortal true dragons: two were decapitated, and one had its dragon soul destroyed. Our Master Ancestor is using two of the decapitated ones for the Grand Dragon Feast. This kind of benefit is unmatched across the entire Wood Origin Immortal Realm."
"Legend has it that the Grand Dragon Feast made from Golden Immortal true dragons can replace thousands of years of cultivation with just one bite, especially the dragon brain!"
"I’m not asking for much; just a sip of dragon marrow soup would be enough for me."
All the disciples excitedly began their super long-distance teleportation array to return to the sect.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of true immortal puppets passed through the teleportation portal to Tian Jiao City to take over the guarding duties for those disciples.
In Tian Jiao City, an inspector from a top-tier sect in the Immortal Realm watched enviously as the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples returned to their sect for the Grand Dragon Feast.
Although the human territory of the Immortal Realm is vast, the circle is quite small.
There are only so many Golden Immortal and Great Luo beings, so even the slightest disturbance is quickly known by nearly all the high-ranking figures of the human race.
The battle in the sky above the Hidden Spirit Sect had already been noticed by other major forces of the human race.
Soon, news of this battle spread throughout the small circle of Golden Immortal and Great Luo beings in the human territory.
Previously, they only knew that the Hidden Spirit Sect had a few Golden Immortal puppets, but they never imagined that these puppets could be so powerful.
One puppet managed to face nine Golden Immortal true dragons; if it hadn’t been for that Dragon Race Great Luo saving the other six, they would likely have been left with the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Not long after, Xu Fan’s good brother’s three conjoined Great Luo disciples officially announced in the Immortal Realm that anyone who dared to harm their master’s sect would face dire consequences.
Following this series of events, all the major forces in the human race began to take the Hidden Spirit Sect’s strength seriously.
Previously, the human race’s major Immortal Sects believed that the Hidden Spirit Sect had a deep background, possibly protected by quasi-saints or greater beings, but they considered their actual strength to be just average.
Xu Fan, who had originally planned to continue refining elixirs after the Grand Dragon Feast, found himself disrupted by the sudden attention.
First came the Tianding Merchant Association, followed by the Myriad Paths Pavilion—two major forces that spanned several Immortal Realms.
Xu Fan initially thought of sending Qiu Ziyuan to handle things, but both visiting forces were led by Great Luo Saints.
"Grand Elder, ever since your Hidden Spirit Sect entered the Immortal Realm, our Tianding Merchant Association has been keeping a close eye on you."
"Later, when you settled in Golden City, established an academy, set up a merchant association, and dispatched disciples to fight at the borders, all of this has been recorded in our association."
"At first, I thought the Grand Elder might be the reincarnation of a great being, but after seeing you today, I am truly impressed," said a Great Luo from the Tianding Merchant Association, smiling warmly, without the usual air of a Great Luo Saint.
"You are too kind, esteemed elder. It is my honor to have you visit our Hidden Spirit Sect," Xu Fan replied, before turning to the Great Luo from the Myriad Paths Pavilion and exchanging polite words.
"We’ve come to your esteemed sect to inquire about the possibility of purchasing Golden Immortal puppets refined by your sect for long-term orders. The price is negotiable," the Great Luo from the Tianding Merchant Association stated.
Xu Fan wore a knowing expression and then handed a prepared jade slip to the Great Luo from the Tianding Merchant Association beside him.
"Our sect’s Golden Immortal puppets are all controlled by the sect’s spirits or Tian Puppet Masters."
"The true strength of the Golden Immortal puppets relies heavily on the advantage of the spirit and the Tian Kuai master," Xu Fan explained.
The two big shots exchanged glances as they reviewed the jade slip, and a spark of unusual interest flickered in their eyes, as if they had discovered a great business opportunity.
"Can Tian Kuai masters also control true immortal puppets if they are ordinary humans?" the Great Luo from the Tianding Merchant Association asked.
"Sure, but to truly unleash the full fighting strength of a Golden Immortal puppet, you need at least to be at the Core Formation stage," Xu Fan replied.
"That’s right. Last time, I wanted to order a batch of true immortals and Golden Immortal puppets. I wonder if the Grand Elder can give me a price."
"For the price, let my people discuss it in detail," Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.
"That works too~"
The Great Luo from the Myriad Paths Pavilion had the same goal, so it was good to discuss everything together.
Xu Fan saw the two Great Luo off from the Hidden Spirit Sect and let out a small sigh of relief.
"Those who can oversee a branch in the Immortal Realm are indeed not ordinary," Xu Fan remarked.
The two Great Luo from the major forces possessed strength comparable to his master nephew.
At this moment, a representative from the Dragon Immortal Palace arrived to retrieve the three Golden Immortal true dragon corpses that Xu Fan had kept.
"Grand Elder, I’ve come to pass on a message."
"Throughout history, many forces have clashed with the Dragon Race, but in the end, both sides had their wins and losses."
"The Dragon Race has its own rules, and conflicts cannot surpass this realm."
"However, this has a premise: there must not be any dishonor to the corpses of true dragons, nor should they be used as dishes for the Grand Dragon Feast," the representative from the Dragon Immortal Palace stated lightly.
"Are you saying that if I hold the Grand Dragon Feast, it would mean there is no turning back?" Xu Fan replied lightly.
"Yes, at least until your sect has quasi-saint great beings, there would be no turning back."
"Moreover, the Dragon Race may very likely send out quasi-saint ancestral dragons to take action against your sect."
"Having said this, the choice lies in the hands of the Grand Elder," the representative from the Dragon Immortal Palace said.
"Please return and tell the Dragon Immortal Palace’s mud eel that dragon meat is exceptionally delicious. Would you like to come and have a taste?" Xu Fan said with a slight smile.
The representative from the Dragon Immortal Palace was momentarily stunned by these words before departing the Hidden Spirit Sect with just a smile.
"This messenger is interesting; he seems not to be of the Dragon Immortal Palace," Xu Fan said with a chuckle.
"Quasi-saints from the Dragon Race, who are they trying to scare~"
Just as Xu Fan was about to leave the guest hall, his Big Brother suddenly arrived with his first, second, and third apprentices.
"Where is everyone? What about the Great Luo from those two merchant associations? I brought my younger brother’s three master nephews to back you up!" exclaimed the elderly man with white hair.
"Brother, you’ve already spread the word in the Immortal Realm; there’s no need to back me up. I’ve already finished discussing with the Great Luo from those two merchant associations," Xu Fan said, inviting them to take a seat and then waving his hand to conjure four cups of tea of the wide road.
"Brother, your fate is becoming increasingly prosperous. It seems the recovery is indeed effective."
"During this time, please refrain from any self-destruct actions, as the recovery will get slower," Xu Fan said after looking at Big Brother’s mental state.
"Understood. During this period, I’ll stay in my cave to recover and won’t go anywhere," Big Brother replied cheerfully, quickly agreeing to Xu Fan’s concern.
"With just a few days until the Grand Dragon Feast, it would be better for you and your master nephews to stay in the sect and enjoy some tea and chat. We can leave after the Grand Dragon Feast," Xu Fan suggested.
"Sounds good~"
