Chapter 273: The Contributor of the Hidden Spirit Sect
Xu Fan stared in shock at the Transformation God-level giant turtle, unsure whether to comfort it or praise it.
After all, it was pregnant with the spawn of a dragon, but it also had a tragic experience.
"You… take care. If there’s nothing else, let’s just have the child. After all, it is your own baby," Xu Fan said cautiously, worried the giant turtle might feel despondent.
‘Woo~~’
Hearing the giant turtle’s response, Xu Fan realized he was overthinking. Even in the Endless Sea, it still maintained some integrity.
"Don’t worry, I will ensure you have enough nutrition for the baby. Even if I have to drain all the spiritual energy from the Hidden Spirit Sect, I will make sure you give birth safely," Xu Fan promised.
"Awwooo~~"
"No need to thank me, it’s only right," Xu Fan replied, almost unable to contain his smile.
At that moment, Pang Fu received a list that would exhaust nearly half of the trading hall’s liquid spirit stones.
Pang Fu scrutinized the list and was about to ask Xu Fan if it was meant for raising spirit beasts when he received a message from Xu Fan.
"Ancient opportunity—don’t ask why, just know it’s a return of a million times."
Upon seeing this message, Pang Fu turned to carefully review the list, thinking about how to maximize its potential at the lowest cost.
For the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan looked at the Transformation God-level giant turtle as if it were a priceless treasure, his eyes sparkling with brilliant ideas.
"Are you sure it was a true dragon that…" Xu Fan confirmed again.
Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the giant turtle leaned its head toward him, inviting him to view its memories.
Xu Fan gently placed one hand on the giant turtle’s head and began to delve into its memories.
He found himself in an underwater world, followed by twelve spirit turtles of various colors. Xu Fan realized this was the memory space of the Transformation God-level giant turtle.
"This was on the way back," Xu Fan said, recognizing that the twelve spirit turtles had already advanced to the Golden Core Stage, just as large as they were now.
Xu Fan remained silent, patiently waiting for what would come next, feeling a bit nervous inside, as if he were about to open the door to a new world for the first time in a past life.
After a while, a voice that sent shivers through Xu Fan’s soul reverberated. A dragon tail plunged deeply into the Endless Sea, bringing Xu Fan’s vision into a mysterious realm.
A nearly thousand-meter-long four-legged dragon appeared in Xu Fan’s sight. As the majestic dragon’s full form came into view, Xu Fan’s mind nearly froze and exited the memory space.
The imposing dragon evoked a sense of reverence in Xu Fan that made it difficult to look directly at it.
He could only shift his gaze away from the dragon to think normally.
At that moment, in Xu Fan’s perception, the nearly thousand-meter-long four-legged dragon coiled around the Transformation God-level giant turtle, then…
Three hours later, Xu Fan finally emerged from the memory space, his face pale, as viewing that segment of memory had truly drained a lot of his mental energy.
Xu Fan gently stroked the giant turtle’s head and sighed, "You’ve been through so much."
"No wonder those barnacles dared to cling to you without a care," Xu Fan remarked.
"From now on, you’ll stay at the Hidden Spirit Sect to safely nurture the baby. I’ll expand the spiritual liquid lake a bit more."
At this point, the giant turtle’s status was second only to that of his six disciples.
‘Woo~~’ the giant turtle responded.
"No need to thank me; it’s only right," Xu Fan said with a smile, feeling for the first time what it meant for a mother to be esteemed because of her child.
Now, the Transformation God-level giant turtle enjoys top-tier treatment wherever it goes.
After settling the other twelve spirit turtles, Xu Fan brought the giant turtle into the Hidden Spirit Sect.
As soon as the Transformation God-level giant turtle entered the sect, Xu Fan clearly felt the density of spiritual energy drop by two levels, returning to that of the original Artifact-level Spirit Gathering Formation.
A spiritual energy whirlpool formed around the giant turtle, ravenously swallowing all the nearby spiritual energy.
At that moment, Xu Fan sensed the faint aura of the Dragon Race within the giant turtle, so subtle that it would go unnoticed without careful observation.
"Truly the spawn of a dragon," Xu Fan marveled.
After bringing the giant turtle to the spiritual liquid lake, the Tianji Turtle, which had been lingering there, slowly emerged, giving the giant turtle a brief glance before looking at Xu Fan with a slightly resentful expression.
It seemed to ask Xu Fan, "Why did you do this?" and then slowly crawled toward a hidden area.
At that moment, Xu Fan inexplicably felt like a scoundrel.
"Go on, from now on this will be your home. You can nurture your baby here without worry. I’ll handle the rest," Xu Fan said gently, as if speaking to a wife who had just become pregnant.
"Woo~~"
The giant turtle nodded and slowly stepped into the spiritual liquid lake.
At this time, the spiritual energy whirlpool around the giant turtle grew even larger.
Xu Fan also received a report from Grape.
"Master, the output from the sect’s Spirit Gathering Formation can no longer keep up with the giant turtle’s consumption. If we don’t increase the source of spiritual energy, it will drain all the energy from the sect in three years."
Grape’s words instantly alerted Xu Fan; he knew that spiritual energy was something that absolutely must not be lacking.
Watching the visible decrease in the spiritual liquid lake, Xu Fan felt that action was urgent.
"It seems I need to work overtime," Xu Fan said, a bit irked.
At that moment, all the disciples of the sect sensed something was off; they clearly felt the reduction in spiritual energy, which was no longer as easy to absorb as before.
"There’s no need to panic; it will return to normal in a year," Grape informed, calming the disciples.
Xu Fan then plunged into the underground space.
Three days later, a disciple from the trading hall brought the materials Xu Fan needed.
Time flew by, and seasons changed.
By now, the spiritual energy density of the Hidden Spirit Sect had dropped to about the same level as the outside world, and the nine spiritual energy dragons at the top of the sect’s formation had disappeared.
The auspicious beasts in the sect had also been going out more frequently.
Just then, a wave occurred as a spirit artifact took shape in the underground space, and the first clone once again absorbed the feedback from the spirit artifact, its eyes more lively than before.
Xu Fan appeared above the sect, dragging nine Artifact-level spirit pearls with him.
"It’s not easy; finally, I’ve succeeded," Xu Fan said as he gently lifted the nine spirit pearls toward the sky.
The grand formation, on the verge of collapsing due to insufficient spiritual energy, suddenly brightened.
A soft sound echoed above the Hidden Spirit Sect.
As the spiritual energy gathered, it slowly returned to its original state.
Before Xu Fan could catch his breath, the spiritual energy whirlpool on the giant turtle expanded again, causing the sect’s spiritual energy concentration to drop once more.
"What’s going on? Is this a joke?" Xu Fan said, feeling frustrated.
"Master, the sect’s spiritual energy…"
"Okay, I get it," Xu Fan waved his hand, cutting off the report.
