Chapter 348: First Master
Watching the first clone enjoy the Luxurious Spirit Chickens he bought, Ertie let out a light sigh of relief.
“What’s wrong? Worried I wouldn’t be satisfied?” the first clone said, looking at Ertie.
“Elder, I used my last two spirit stones to buy you the Luxurious Spirit Chickens. I was afraid you might not like it,” Ertie replied nervously.
“It’s fine. I can feel your sincerity,” the first clone reassured him.
At that moment, the Little Girl playing in the backyard ran over.
“Brother, I smell the aroma of the Luxurious Spirit Chickens,” she exclaimed.
Seeing the first clone, she took half a step back and shyly said, “Hello, Elder.”
“Hmm, hello,” the first clone replied.
He tore off a big, juicy chicken leg and handed it to the Little Girl.
“The Elder is giving it to you, so take it,” Ertie said, noticing his sister’s eager gaze.
“Thank you, Elder~”
The Little Girl ran back to the backyard with the chicken leg, knowing that the best place to enjoy tasty food is where she feels most comfortable.
“Elder, I’ve been trying to combine spirit fire with my hammer to forge a Spiritual Sword.”
“Let me show you,” Ertie said as a hammer appeared in his hand. He picked up a piece of spirit iron and began to forge.
A faint flame ignited on the surface of the hammer as he struck the spirit iron repeatedly.
“Interesting! This method speeds up forging a Spiritual Sword compared to ordinary artifact masters,” the first clone said with a smile.
As a master craftsman, he could see at a glance that Ertie was simply merging the spirit fire with the hammer to shape the spirit iron faster.
Seeing this, the first clone slowly stood up and walked out of the blacksmith shop.
“Kid, once you master using spirit fire, I’ll teach you a more advanced technique.”
“Understood, Elder,” Ertie replied while continuing to hammer.
At that moment, Li Xingci had already been waiting at the entrance of the blacksmith shop for some time.
“Not bad, you’ve advanced to the Transformation God stage. Does your master know?” the first clone said, a bit surprised to see Li Xingci.
“Greetings, Master,” Li Xingci said with a bow.
“Hmm, come with me to the Artifact Hall first.”
Inside the artifact crafting room, the first clone took out a quasi-artifact and said to Li Xingci, “Your master asked me to craft a magical treasure for you.”
“Now that you’ve reached the Transformation God stage, you should be able to use this Myriad Illusion Tower.”
“Thank you, Master,” Li Xingci said.
“Actually, I’m just a clone of your master, so from now on, you can call me First Master,” the first clone said.
He felt a slight resistance to being addressed as Li Xingci’s master.
Upon hearing the first clone’s words, a cold glint flickered in Li Xingci’s eyes, though it was hidden deep within him.
“Understood, First Master.”
“First Master, two months from now, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, my child will be born. I hope to invite First Master to bless and name him,” Li Xingci said.
“Hmm, I know about this. At that time, your master’s thoughts will attach to me,” the first clone replied.
The meaning of the first clone was clear: it wouldn’t be him going.
“Then I’ll trouble First Master with this,” Li Xingci said respectfully.
After returning to the Elder Council headquarters, Li Xingci closed his eyes and began to operate a special divine ability.
At that moment, in a hidden location on Hidden Spirit Island, a young man in a black robe appeared.
“Grape, I want to meet my master,” the boy in black said, looking up.
“The Void Teleportation Formation is established; please remain still.”
Spirit light began to carve the Teleportation Formation around the boy in black.
At the same time, there was also spirit light carving the Teleportation Formation behind Xu Fan.
Once the Formation was completed, a young man in a black robe stepped out.
Upon seeing the boy in black, Xu Fan’s expression turned serious as he asked, “What happened over there? Do you need me to return?”
This boy in black was Li Xingci’s most essential Rebirth Servant, who usually remained in seclusion in a private room on Hidden Spirit Island.
Whenever he emerged, it meant something important was happening.
“Master, your clone has undergone a mutation and developed consciousness independent of you,” Li Xingci said, realizing he couldn’t maintain this state for long, so he kept it brief.
“An independent consciousness from me, it seems the first clone’s adventure was quite interesting.”
“I see. As long as he doesn’t act out of line, let him be,” Xu Fan said, having left many safeguards on the first clone, so he wasn’t worried about betrayal.
“Knowing that puts my mind at ease,” Li Xingci nodded, then commanded the Rebirth Servant to withdraw his consciousness.
At the Elder Council headquarters, Li Xingci was holding his head, trying to relieve the side effects of the distant thoughts descending on him.
At that moment, Su Rantian entered, and upon seeing Li Xingci’s actions, quickly took out a bottle of clarity spirit pills and made him take one.
“If you know the divine ability has such severe side effects, you shouldn’t use it.”
“Your master is knowledgeable about the mysteries of heaven and earth; can something so trivial trouble him?” Su Rantian said, her belly round.
“I don’t feel comfortable not notifying my master,” Li Xingci replied, still feeling pain in his head.
“Xingci, are you sure you don’t want to invite him?” Su Rantian asked.
“I’ve already cut ties with him,” Li Xingci replied lightly.
“Alright.”
In the underground space of Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was negotiating with the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys and Earth Crystal Spiders.
“Little Spider, since we’ve met so many times, fighting and killing is no longer meaningful.”
“How about this: you eat your fire ants, and I mine fire spirit ore. We’ll each keep to ourselves,” Xu Fan said, controlling the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey.
“Give me half of the fire spirit ore; I need to cultivate,” the Earth Crystal Spider with small sharp teeth showed no fear of the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys in the Core Formation stage.
“No half, at most ten percent. I could mine fire spirit ore here for hundreds of years without finishing it; for a spider like you, ten percent is sufficient,” Xu Fan shook his head, patiently negotiating with the seemingly easy-to-crush little spider.
“No deal, forty percent.”
At that moment, flames erupted from the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, its eyes glowing red as it said, “Then it will be to the death.”
A massive Demonic Shadow loomed behind the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, as if it wanted to devour all living beings.
The Earth Crystal Spider shivered under the Demonic Shadow’s gaze and quickly waved its claws, saying, “One percent is one percent; please don’t attack!”
The last time it had faced this Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey filled it with fear again.
The Demonic Shadow vanished, and the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey returned to its harmless form.
“Then our agreement is happily settled,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Oh, and please control the queen ant to ensure the fire ants don’t disturb my puppets while mining,” Xu Fan added.
“Understood,” the Earth Crystal Spider assured.
Watching the Earth Crystal Spider raise its front claws in promise, Xu Fan felt a strange affection; it seemed kind of cute.
Such spider legs must have a lot of meat on them.
The Earth Crystal Spider felt afraid looking at the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, sensing an urge to eat itself.
Monkeys probably don’t eat spiders, right?~
