Chapter 130: The Eldest Brother Dreams of Saving Master with Great Effort
At the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, atop the Turtle Shell, the master and disciple finally had some rare time to enjoy tea together.
“Your elder brother’s state of mind has been a bit unstable since advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, so I sent him away to take his family on a trip,” Xu Fan said.
“My elder brother told me, but I’m afraid that once he goes out, he’ll still be the same,” Xu Yuexian expressed her concern; she knew Xu Gang all too well.
“Heh, I’ve watched you all grow up since you were young. This time your elder brother can’t do anything; he can only relax and enjoy himself,” Xu Fan chuckled, having blocked Xu Gang’s path of cultivation before he left.
“From now on, every once in a while, you should take your brother out for a stroll.”
“Otherwise, a big Nascent Soul cultivator cooped up at home can get really restless,” Xu Fan said, taking a sip of tea.
“That way, my elder brother will worry about Master’s safety.”
“My elder brother once told me that although Master can outmatch him in fighting strength, he is still at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If danger truly arises, it’s up to him, the top disciple, to step in.”
“Your elder brother dreams of saving Master at least once, but such opportunities are almost nonexistent,” Xu Yuexian said. After they grew up, her elder brother had told her this more than once.
“Is this obsession?” Xu Fan asked grimly. What kind of nonsense is it to dream of saving me? Is he wishing for me to get into trouble?
“Don’t you think I’ve been praising your elder brother less recently?”
“That doesn’t seem right,” Xu Fan pondered.
Xu Yuexian remained silent, simply smiling as she poured tea for Xu Fan.
“When your elder brother comes back, I’m going to use the reincarnation secret technique to probe into what exactly he’s thinking,” Xu Fan said, curious about what this simple-minded fellow thinks about all day.
At that moment, a virtual screen opened, showing a man as big as a giant bear challenging the sixth level of the trial tower.
“Take a look; this one should be the strongest disciple in terms of fighting strength at the moment—a body refinement genius,” Xu Fan introduced, having developed an interest in the trial tower challenges since discovering the great talents within the sect.
In the video, the giant bear-like man directly engaged in a one-on-one fistfight with a heavy armor puppet, and the scene was brutally violent.
“This disciple’s technique is immune to water and fire, with spiritual energy rotating within.”
“With innate strength, combined with a diamond-like body.”
“When I was at the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, I couldn’t do anything against him. Master, where did you find this prodigy?” Xu Yuexian exclaimed, maintaining her keen vision as a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.
“Ha ha, this is your fourth junior brother’s disciple.”
“There are many talented disciples like him in the sect.”
“With just one hundred years’ time, the new generation of disciples will grow up.”
“In another thousand years, our Hidden Spirit Sect will have a firm footing in this realm,” Xu Fan said with grand ambitions, aware that the sect was simply in need of time.
“Master, that day will come,” Xu Yuexian replied with a smile, believing since childhood that Xu Fan was capable of anything; success was just a matter of time.
“I’m just making a prediction; perhaps a thousand years from now, the Hidden Spirit Sect will be even more powerful than I say.”
At that moment, the battle on the screen had ended.
Xiong Li’s final punch knocked out the puppet, severely damaging it to the point where it could not be repaired.
“He practices the Five Elements Body Refinement Technique, which is the body refinement version of the Five Elements Technique.”
“In the later stages, it can evolve into divine powers and a true immortal battle body; it’s hard to say how powerful that will be, but at the same level, it’s tough to break through his protective violent energy.”
“In the future, he will definitely be an invincible tank on the battlefield, perfectly matched with your elder brother,” Xu Fan said with a smile, eagerly anticipating that day to come.
"If there’s ever a big battle with another sect, leave the beheading tasks to me," Xu Yuexian said.
"Alright," Xu Fan replied.
Just then, Xu Yuexian’s communication artifact chimed.
She glanced at it, and her expression shifted slightly.
"Master, I need to head out. My elder brother is having some trouble in Spirit Heart Fairy City," Xu Yuexian explained.
"Someone’s trying to force my nephew into their sect, and my brother isn’t great with words. He wants me to go and help him out with some verbal sparring."
"Go ahead, don’t keep your brother waiting," Xu Fan said. He had already heard about the situation earlier and knew it wasn’t serious, so he didn’t intervene. After all, no one would dare cause trouble in the fairy city.
As Xu Yuexian’s beams of light disappeared into the distance, Xu Fan pulled out some materials on the Beast Taming Technique and continued his research. He found that raising small animals was surprisingly enjoyable.
At lunchtime, Qiu Ziyuan landed gently on the Turtle Shell, carrying a food box.
"Grand Elder, it’s time to eat," Qiu Ziyuan said softly.
"Why are you the one delivering food today? What do you need me to approve this time?" Xu Fan asked.
Qiu Ziyuan took out a few dishes and a bowl of spirit rice from the food box, placing them beside Xu Fan.
"Grand Elder, I’m here to request a few little hills to set up an experimental area for the disciples," Qiu Ziyuan said respectfully.
"I thought I already gave you the authority for that," Xu Fan replied.
"The main issue is that the projects proposed by those disciples need your approval," Qiu Ziyuan said, handing over a jade slip.
"Defense towers, pureblood and hybrid beasts, long-range combat substitutes, battle puppet command centers… quite the list," Xu Fan muttered as he skimmed through.
He quickly crossed out a few unrealistic projects and handed the jade slip back to Qiu Ziyuan.
"Your ideas are ambitious, but I’ve crossed out a few. The rest can proceed," Xu Fan said.
"Understood."
Meanwhile, in Spirit Heart Fairy City, a Void Refinement stage cultivator was blocking a family of three, trying hard to persuade them.
"Kid, I’ve laid out all the benefits. Aren’t you even a little tempted?"
"If you can’t even tell me your sect’s name, it must be some small, insignificant sect," he pressed.
"Your son has no future in a small sect. Our Qiandao Sect is a ninth-level sect with three respected elders. If your son joins us, he’ll be treated as an inner sect disciple right away."
"I’ll personally take him as my disciple."
"I’ll provide all the spirit pills and artifacts he needs for his advancement. When he reaches the Transformation God Void Refinement stage, I’ll even secure a Dao artifact for him."
The Void Refinement cultivator sounded like a desperate salesman, determined to close the deal no matter what.
"Are you after my child’s Thousand Spirit Body?" Xu Gang asked, cutting straight to the point.
"Since you know, that makes things easier. This spirit body can only reach its full potential in our Qiandao Sect. Otherwise, it’ll be wasted."
"Our sect also has a top-tier Creation Spirit Master who specializes in creating spells and techniques. Combined with your son’s spirit body, it’s a perfect match."
"If your son joins us, he’ll never lack resources in the future."
The Void Refinement cultivator looked at the family with frustration. He had spent years searching various fairy cities for a suitable disciple, and today he finally found someone with a Thousand Spirit Body.
The child’s age was perfect, and both parents were Golden Core cultivators—it was an ideal situation. But to his surprise, this family from a Hidden Small Sect seemed unimpressed by one of the Central Continent’s top sects.
