Chapter 115: VIP Expiration, Benefits Depart

At this moment, Vine displayed a scene.

Two little boys were competing to see whose spell was stronger.

One of the little boys cast the Small Spirit Rain Technique, and the scene was still quite normal until this point.

The other little boy scoffed and said, "Your rain is useless. Watch me!"

As the second boy formed a few strange spell seals, a brownish-yellow cloud appeared in the sky.

Then, it started to rain brown spots, and a strong wind blew through; neither of them was spared.

The scene ended there.

"Haha, this kid has some ideas," Xu Fan chuckled so much he nearly burst his lungs. "Is that what you call Small Poop Rain Technique?"

Then, Vine listed that little boy’s viewing records at the Ten Thousand Techniques Pavilion, filled with his casual notes on basic spell development and enhancement.

"Zhou Kailing, this girl will be my fifth disciple in the future," Xu Fan said. As a Creation Spirit Master, even in the central continent, that was rarely heard of; it seemed like a truly scarce profession.

Meanwhile, Zhou Kailing, who was watching Xu Fan’s notes at the Ten Thousand Techniques Pavilion, felt quite troubled. She was now considering how to improve her Small Poop Rain Technique; otherwise, it was too easy to hurt herself.

At that moment, the boy who had competed with her appeared again on the video.

"Kailing, did you know? Our few immortal teachers have started accepting disciples."

"When we attend class, we should perform well; maybe those immortal teachers will notice us," the little boy said.

"No need to perform; what’s meant for you will always belong to you. Just look at our sect leader; he accepted two female disciples who love treasures."

"The peak master of Spiritual Sword Peak took in two disciples who are fond of sword techniques."

"And there are many more. This just shows one thing: immortals choose disciples with goals. For ordinary folks like us, we should just wait for the sect’s arrangements," Zhou Kailing casually remarked.

"No, you’re not ordinary; at least you can make it rain," the little boy said with a teasing look.

"I’ve told you so many times, it’s not poop; it’s just a gathering of spiritual energy that looks like poop," Zhou Kailing said angrily. Since their last competition, that misunderstanding had become impossible to clarify.

Xu Fan emerged from the underground secret room, which should now be called the underground secret factory.

He then saw Xu Gang carrying a massive sea snake, grinning with the satisfaction of a good battle.

"Master, I discovered a Nascent Soul Stage sea snake east of Hidden Spirit Island today, and I took it down. Tonight, the kids will get a nice meal," Xu Gang said, supporting the hundred-meter-long sea snake with spiritual energy.

"Give it to Vine; your sister’s cooking skills have gone to waste."

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, two Golden Core Stage giant bird puppets flew in from the distance to take the sea snake from Xu Gang’s hands.

With nothing else to do, Xu Fan strolled slowly toward the main peak of Hidden Spirit Island with Xu Gang, examining what Vine had built on the island.

"Master, I estimate I’ll be advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage in a bit," Xu Gang said beside him.

"Oh, have you passed the puppet challenge?" Xu Fan paused, then said, "Did I set the difficulty too low, or did I underestimate my disciple?"

By his estimates, Xu Gang would need at least five more years to successfully challenge and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Yeah, I’ll be able to succeed in the challenge soon," Xu Gang replied.

"Alright, congratulations on becoming the first disciple in our sect to reach the Nascent Soul Stage," Xu Fan said, looking at his top disciple, who had been with him since childhood.

"Ha, Master is joking," Xu Gang said, scratching his head.

“But did you only finish the puppet challenge? Have you forgotten the task I gave you?”

“Master, Little Xi and I have tried our best, but it’s really…” Xu Gang said with an awkward expression.

Xu Fan slapped a jade slip onto the table.

“There are two techniques here: the Tianyang Decision and the Yueyin Skill. Both you and Little Xi need to practice them. If you don’t reach the Nascent Soul stage in two years, you won’t advance.”

“Fine,” Xu Gang replied reluctantly. He didn’t understand why his master was so fixated on this.

Seeing his first disciple’s response, Xu Fan nodded. A delay of two years was fine by him.

Just then, three Golden Core Stage puppets streaked across the sky.

“Master, there’s a beast invasion,” Xu Gang said, ready to fly off.

“It’s nothing serious. If it’s really your turn to act, Vine will let you know,” Xu Fan said lightly. These kinds of things happened every few days.

“Oh.”

That evening, the dining hall was as bright as day, and a grand snake feast was underway. All the children were cheering for another delicious meal, even though they couldn’t eat much.

Xu Fan sat at a table with his disciples and Wang Yulun’s family.

“Big Brother Xu, did you hear? Xiangzhou has been completely taken over by the beast race, and they’re invading other states,” Wang Yulun said. Since the signal improved, he’d been getting a lot of news about Xiangzhou.

“I saw that too. Half of the respected elders guarding the two realms on the central continent have gone to Moliang State to suppress the beast race.”

“They’re even offering huge rewards to rally the cultivation world to join the fight in Moliang State,” Xu Fan said, noticing the eager look on his friend’s face. It was clear Wang Yulun was itching to go.

“Once things settle down here, I want to head over there and check on my family,” Wang Yulun said. This semi-reclusive life didn’t suit him—it felt like a time for action, not hiding.

“Actually, the sect doesn’t have much going on right now. If you want to leave, wait a bit. I’ll craft a few precious artifacts for you before you go,” Xu Fan said, seeing the restlessness in Wang Yulun’s eyes. This wasn’t the life he wanted.

“Alright, Big Brother Xu. Thank you,” Wang Yulun said. He’d meant to bring this up later, but today he couldn’t hold back.

After the snake feast, Xu Fan announced that he would take Zhou Kailing as his direct disciple.

Three months later, outside the Hidden Spirit Sect’s gate, Xu Fan handed Wang Yulun a space ring.

“Inside, you’ll find all the precious artifacts and spirit pills you’ll need from the Golden Core Stage to the Transformation Stage. There’s also a jade slip explaining how to use everything,” Xu Fan said, a hint of reluctance in his voice. Was this the end of the VIP perks?

“And I know once you leave, it might be a long time before you return. But remember, no matter what, you have to come back in fifty years,” Xu Fan said. He hoped Wang Yulun’s fate would change by then and that his marriage would stay strong.

“I understand, Big Brother Xu. Hidden Spirit Sect will always be my home,” Wang Yulun said, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness as he looked at the now-complete Hidden Spirit Island. Still, he knew his role here was limited.

“As long as you remember it’s home, come back when you’re tired from fighting.”

“I will.”

A spaceship-shaped artifact soared toward Lin Sen Fairy City.

“The perks are leaving,” Xu Fan sighed to himself.
