Chapter 139: Dragon Immortal Palace

Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian’s beams of light disappeared on the horizon. Xu Fan turned to Li Xingci and said, “Stay in the sect for now. I’ve already asked Pang Fu to purchase a lot of beast eggs.”

“While you’re here, you’ll learn the way of beast taming with me,” Xu Fan added.

“Alright,” Li Xingci agreed without hesitation. He had never gone against Xu Fan’s wishes since he was a child.

Xu Fan, accompanied by those who had come to see them off, began to stroll leisurely through the garden in front of the main peak.

“Xuandao, have you mastered all the basic teachings of the sect?” Xu Fan asked the boy who had been quietly standing by his side.

“I finished them a month ago. Right now, I’m studying the Five Elements Technique,” Li Xuandao replied respectfully. He reminded himself that his acting career would begin now that his memories had awakened, and he needed to fully commit to this role.

“Is there anything in the Five Elements Technique that you find difficult?” Xu Fan asked, not paying too much attention to Li Xuandao, treating him like any other disciple.

“No, I’ve seen techniques from other sects, and the Five Elements Technique is the best for Foundation Establishment and attaining immortality,” Li Xuandao answered. He knew he was playing the part of a top-tier disciple, so he had to show some of his brilliance.

That said, he had to admit that the Five Elements Technique was the most stable Foundation Establishment technique he had encountered in all his reincarnations. As long as one followed the steps diligently and maintained their spiritual energy, they could almost always reach their full potential.

It had low requirements, was easy to practice, had minimal bottlenecks, and a high tolerance for errors. No matter what other techniques one practiced alongside it, there were no adverse reactions.

Li Xuandao decided to engrave this technique deep into his memory, planning to use it again for his next Foundation Establishment.

As they continued their walk, Xu Fan asked Li Xuandao a few questions about his understanding of cultivation, and Li Xuandao provided textbook-perfect answers.

Xu Fan’s expression grew more and more pleased, and he eventually handed Li Xuandao the final version of the Five Elements Technique for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After testing Li Xuandao, Xu Fan summoned a spiritual boat from the sky, one specifically used for low-level Qi Refinement disciples, and sent Li Xuandao back on his own.

“Master, do you have an answer?” Li Xingci asked once Li Xuandao had left.

“He’s definitely a reincarnated being, but I’m not sure if he’s a great being in this world,” Xu Fan replied.

“Did you notice something off, Master?” Li Xingci asked, puzzled. He thought the exchange between Xu Fan and Li Xuandao had been flawless.

“Yes. His insights into techniques and cultivation are solid, even more comprehensive than I expected.”

“But did you notice how his answers were too comprehensive, too perfect? That’s the real issue,” Xu Fan explained.

Li Xingci nodded, understanding what Xu Fan meant.

“Let’s not worry about him. Let the boy roam freely in the sect,” Xu Fan added. “When it’s time for him to leave, he’ll go on his own.”

Xu Fan glanced at the spiritual boat fading into the distance and mused, unsure if Li Xuandao was a person with a destined fate, but certain he wasn’t a time traveler from Earth.

“Enough of that. Come, play a game of chess with me.”

They arrived at a pavilion where a stone table and chessboard were set up.

“Master, Go really doesn’t suit your style,” Li Xingci said with a sigh. Ever since they settled in the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan had been dragging him into games of Go every few days.

“You can’t even beat me at Go. Come on, once you win, we’ll switch to something else,” Xu Fan said with a laugh.

“………..”

Do you think I don’t know that whenever the game turns against you, you call Grape to help you turn things around?

But a disciple can’t argue with his master, so Li Xingci obediently sat down across from Xu Fan.

After a few rounds, Li Xingci’s focus began to waver.

Since the Go board they were using was infinitely large, the game became more and more challenging as it went on.

Suddenly, a sound of something tearing through the air echoed from the sky. A Nascent Soul stage guardian puppet brought two spiritual deer, one large and one small, to Xu Fan’s front.

“The situation is special and requires the master’s judgment; these two little auspicious beasts have intruded the protective grand formation,” Grape’s electronic voice announced.

“Alright, I understand.”

The guardian puppet retreated, and Xu Fan stared at the two reckless little deer.

“Is this the little buck you brought back, or is it a Cloud Flower Deer?” Xu Fan looked at the deer that was comforting its little companion, wondering when this tiny creature had escaped the sect.

“Ying Ying~~”

“This little deer is your future partner,” Xu Fan said playfully, noting that most auspicious beasts reach maturity at around a hundred years, which is usually the Golden Core stage. Considering the timeline, that timing seemed about right.

Little Flower Deer nodded, realizing that this was the most suitable partner she had found after going through great difficulties in a sacred place.

“Then why didn’t you tell me when you left? Is the Hidden Spirit Sect a place you can come and go as you please?”

Xu Fan pretended to be angry while glaring at Little Flower Deer.

“Ying Ying~~~” Little Flower Deer looked at Xu Fan disdainfully.

“Ha ha, go play, and I’ll help you build a home another day,” Xu Fan replied with a broad smile on his face.

Little Flower Deer nudged the timid little deer beside her with her head, then flew toward the waterfall of spiritual liquid in front of the main peak, where her little nest was located.

“Master, do you understand beast language?”

“I learned it when I was bored; I also know the language of the beast race,” Xu Fan said proudly.

“Then what did Little Flower Deer say in the end?” Li Xingci asked, confused by the stark contrast in Xu Fan’s reactions.

“She said she met a friend at the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, a Tianji Turtle, and that we can invite it to the sect to play someday.”

“What a considerate auspicious beast for the sect! I must reward it,” Xu Fan said with satisfaction, once again giving up the thought of eating Deer Meat Hot Pot.

Meanwhile, not far from the Hidden Spirit Sect, in a sacred location, a six-year-old girl dressed in elegant clothes was searching for something by a lakeside.

“Little Ya, Little Ya~~~~”

“Waa~~~~ where are you, Little Ya?”

The little girl cried, wiping away her tears.

…………………

In Lin Sen Fairy City, Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian stepped into a special teleportation formation, surrounded by tens of thousands of cultivators heading to Moliang State to hunt beasts.

More than half were advised to go by the Elder Council, while the rest were attracted by the rewards and points offered by the council.

It was said that the points from the Elder Council could be exchanged for anything in this world, and except during special periods, the tasks giving points were usually internally resolved.

As Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian stepped into the teleportation formation and emerged, they found themselves in a vast square paved with spiritual bricks.

Xu Yuexian wanted to observe the surroundings from the air. Just as she was about to fly up, a unique force pushed her back down.

At that moment, a huge screen appeared in the sky, displaying: “This is within the celestial tool of the Dragon Immortal Palace. Cultivators may wait here for four days.

After one day, a Great Ascension stage Sovereign will deliver teachings for three days.

After the teachings, we will proceed to the border of Moliang State and Xiangzhou.”
