Chapter 13: The Mysterious Azure Elder
After arriving at the small hill belonging to Zhang Weiyun, Xu Fan took a look around.
The senior from the Construction Hall had already finished the job and left, leaving behind a standard courtyard.
"If this kind of construction speed existed in my past life, they’d be a billionaire in no time," Xu Fan exclaimed in amazement.
The courtyard was fully built in just three hours, the same amount of time Zhang Weiyun had spent crying.
"Hubby, you’re bullying me."
A figure zipped past Xu Fan, heading straight for a large tree. Xu Fan quickly extended his hand and released a beam of spirit light, forming a soft protective shield around Zhang Weiyun.
Zhang Weiyun’s eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment.
He didn’t even hug me.
‘Thud!’
The shield collided with the tree, cushioning Zhang Weiyun’s momentum.
Xu Fan glanced around and noticed that this area was much larger than his own hill.
"Weiyun, with such a big space, what do you want to plant?"
"Let’s plant flowers, the kind that are pretty and smell nice," Zhang Weiyun said cheerfully.
"Then let’s plant Purple Cloud Flowers. They bloom for a long time, you can collect dew during their growth, and once they mature, you can harvest nectar to sell for spirit stones," Xu Fan suggested after a moment of thought. He had considered planting them himself before but decided it didn’t quite match his vibe.
A guy surrounded by purple flowers? That would be awkward.
"Great idea!" Zhang Weiyun’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Get the seeds yourself, and I’ll help you plant them when the time comes."
"Didn’t your father give you spirit stones when you came here?" Xu Fan asked. He himself didn’t have many spirit stones at the moment.
"Yes, he gave me 100 spirit stones. I’ll go buy the flower seeds tomorrow."
After that, Xu Fan took Zhang Weiyun for a walk around the area. When he returned to his own hill, he noticed the longing look in Zhang Weiyun’s eyes. It was already evening.
Xu Fan sat in his courtyard, staring at the starry sky, lost in thought, though he wasn’t quite sure what he was thinking about.
Just then, a burst of green light illuminated the sky.
An azure divine bird appeared, carrying a stunning woman in a blue dress, her long hair flowing like silk, breathtakingly beautiful.
As Xu Fan watched the azure divine bird fly closer, he began to feel uneasy.
"Oh no, is it coming for me?"
Originally slouched in his chair, Xu Fan suddenly straightened up, watching the azure divine bird with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
"Could it be that I, with my system, am destined for greatness?"
In Xu Fan’s mind, this big shot might have recognized his potential and wanted to take him as a disciple.
A beautiful master? Just the thought of it was thrilling.
Xu Fan’s mind raced with scenarios—what if he refused and this great being forced him to comply?
At that moment, a faint voice echoed through the entire Outer Sect mountains.
"Welcome, Mysterious Azure Elder, to Que Tian Gate.
What brings you here?"
For some reason, Xu Fan sensed a hint of helplessness in that grand, echoing voice.
"I’m here to find my disciple," a cold voice replied.
"Oh, is the elder’s disciple here in our Que Tian Gate?"
"Yes."
Just as Xu Fan thought he would make his appearance, he saw an orchid lifting a dazed-looking Zhang Weiyun, who was munching on snacks and watching the show, flying toward the azure divine bird.
"Spirit body of great fortune, young girl, how would you like to be my top disciple?" the Mysterious Azure Elder said kindly to Zhang Weiyun.
"I… I…"
"I don’t know what to do," Zhang Weiyun stammered.
Xu Fan, still watching the scene, spat out a mouthful of blood, launching it eight meters away.
"Damn it, this is a great opportunity! You need to agree quickly!" Xu Fan started to feel anxious for Zhang Weiyun.
A handsome middle-aged man dressed in a white robe appeared in the sky, casting a helpless glance at the Mysterious Azure Elder.
"Elder, you’re not here to poach my disciples, are you?"
"The spirit body of great fortune, though she is a bearer of great luck, does not warrant such emphasis from the elder," the middle-aged man said.
"She has a connection with me."
"Consider it a personal favor owed to you by the Mysterious Azure Elder," the elder replied lightly.
The middle-aged man glanced around the Outer Sect area and sensed countless spiritual presences in the inner sect. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the elder is at the Great Ascension stage, you should not forcibly take disciples from Que Tian Gate."
"Is my favor not worth anything?" the Mysterious Azure Elder frowned slightly, releasing a faint aura.
The middle-aged man instantly felt as if a giant mountain pressed upon him, nearly causing him to lose his balance in midair.
"No, elder, having you take a disciple at our Que Tian Gate is an honor for us.
But if our female disciple does not agree, please do not force her."
"Understood."
The Mysterious Azure Elder turned to Zhang Weiyun.
"Do you wish to become my disciple? I happen to have a set of cultivation techniques suited for your spirit body.
Ascending to the Immortal Realm is merely a matter of time."
After hearing the words of the Mysterious Azure Elder, Zhang Weiyun thought for a moment before shouting toward Xu Fan’s hill.
"Hubby, what should I do?"
In an instant, Xu Fan became the center of attention.
With the gaze of two powerful beings upon him, Xu Fan calmly said, "This is your opportunity; I think you should agree to him."
Trying to appear calm, Xu Fan constantly chanted in his heart,
"I have a system and will definitely become stronger than you all; you will all be my juniors."
After hearing Xu Fan’s words, Zhang Weiyun asked, "Will I still be able to see my hubby in the future?"
"Of course," the Mysterious Azure Elder nodded. She practiced a compassionate path and would not interfere carelessly with her future disciple’s relationships. Besides, a spirit body of great fortune was destined for something extraordinary, and Zhang Weiyun’s husband would certainly be no ordinary person.
"I am willing to become the elder’s disciple," Zhang Weiyun immediately bowed in respect.
"Then congratulations on gaining a good disciple, elder."
The middle-aged man took a deep look at Xu Fan, then spoke to the Mysterious Azure Elder before slowly vanishing into the sky.
"Now that you have become my top disciple, come with me."
The Mysterious Azure Elder led Zhang Weiyun to the back of the azure divine bird, not giving her a chance to speak. The three figures vanished into the sky together.
Everything returned to calm once more.
"Just like that, my newly acquired wife is gone?"
"Well, at least it won’t be awkward to refuse her in the future."
Xu Fan slumped back onto his lounge chair again.
"The upper limit of power in this world is too high; it’s always about powerful elders and such.
How long will I have to endure before I can have some fun?"
Thinking this, Xu Fan took out the jade slip containing the Five Elements Technique and began to read.
In Xu Fan’s eyes, the quality of a cultivation technique rested on several aspects:
the capacity it enhances for one’s dantian to hold spiritual energy, the quality of spiritual energy absorption, the limit it strengthens for the spirit, and any potential side effects.
There were also other techniques to enhance the soul and body.
"This Five Elements Technique is just too stable and lacks any distinctive features.
Even trying to enhance it is quite difficult."
Xu Fan had always wanted to create a more powerful version of the Five Elements Technique. The version he was currently practicing truly felt too weak to him.
