Chapter 349: Praise from Great Respected Elder Yan
Seeing the Earth Crystal Spider’s reaction, Xu Fan nodded. Only obedient beast races are good beast races.
The Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey swaggered out of the fire ant nest and returned to the Underground Base.
At this point, nearly half of the Underground Base had been converted into a Production Line for rune cannonballs.
“These cannonballs are practically free; they only cost a bit of spirit iron and spiritual energy.”
After the first secondary cannon-level rune cannonball was produced, Xu Fan no longer hesitated to use them when he went out to sea. In fact, he later even produced missiles based on the Precious Artifact Satellite version.
“Haha, considering the spiritual energy cost, each secondary cannon-level cannonball costs less than 500 spirit stones. It’s a steal!”
Xu Fan could already picture himself commanding a barrage of thousands of cannonballs.
“Master, can I take the Star Ship and explore the Endless Sea in the future?” Xu Yuexian asked, her eyes sparkling.
She loved venturing into remote and dangerous places, where she often found extraordinary treasures.
“We’ll talk about it when you reach the Core Formation stage,” Xu Fan said, slightly annoyed at Xu Yuexian’s current cultivation level.
He had carefully planned the cultivation paths for each of his disciples, ensuring they were interconnected. He was confident he could guide each of them to the true immortal level.
“And no more taking any pills that boost your cultivation,” Xu Fan added.
“Understood, Master,” Xu Yuexian said, her face falling.
In Xu Fan’s courtyard.
“Master, did you call for me?” Xu Gang asked as he approached.
“Yes, take this puppet and head to Qianling Sect,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Master, I’d rather stay in the sect. Can’t you send Wang Xiangchi instead?” Xu Gang said reluctantly.
“Oh, so now you’re not listening to your master?” Xu Fan replied with a sly grin.
“Take a look at your Uncle Wang. He’s been working hard on his cultivation lately, all thanks to my morale-boosting technique.”
“Want to give it a try?”
Xu Fan narrowed his eyes as a purple-red glowing orb appeared in his hand.
“Of course, I’d never disobey Master’s orders,” Xu Gang said seriously.
By now, everyone in the sect knew about Wang Yulun, who had to perform a dance routine every morning, rain or shine.
It was rumored that this technique was created by the Grand Elder, capable of boosting morale and filling everyone with positive energy. The catchy slogans and mesmerizing dances performed each morning had motivated the entire sect to work harder.
They were all terrified of being caught slacking off by the Grand Elder, who might just unleash the morale-boosting technique on them.
“That’s right. Staying cooped up in the sect isn’t good for your cultivation. Oh, and bring your wife along,” Xu Fan added casually.
When Xu Fan mentioned that staying in the sect wasn’t beneficial, Xu Gang couldn’t help but roll his eyes internally.
Since becoming a disciple, Xu Gang could count on one hand the number of times Xu Fan had left the sect.
“Old Four’s child is about to be born. You should go check on them,” Xu Fan said.
“Understood.”
A spiritual boat flew toward Nine Phoenix Island, where a teleportation formation connected to nearby continents. Xu Fan had spent a fortune building it.
Not long after, Xu Yuexian appeared before Xu Fan once more.
"Master, I want to go too," Xu Yuexian said, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Go where? Stay put in the sect for now; you shouldn’t be tagging along," Xu Fan replied, pointing mysteriously to the sky.
"Alright," Xu Yuexian nodded reluctantly.
"Yuexian, remember this: if you stay low enough, no scythe can cut you," Xu Fan said with a grin.
At that moment, Xu Fan could see the power from the Thousand Worlds, tangled in causes and effects, nearly overflowing from Xu Yuexian.
With such intensity, Xu Fan was sure his naive disciple would be targeted the moment she stepped outside.
"Spend some time in the sect, focusing on your cultivation and insights. When I reach the Transformation God stage, I’ll sever this chain of cause and effect for you," Xu Fan assured her.
"When will you reach Transformation God, Master?" Xu Yuexian asked eagerly.
"Hmm, probably in less than 1500 years," Xu Fan said lightly. He had made peace with it; time was just a resource, and he had plenty of ways to spend it.
"………"
Two months later, a man and a woman arrived at the Elder Council headquarters.
"Senior Brother, Sister-in-law, long time no see," Li Xingci greeted with a smile, treating Xu Gang like his own older brother.
"Haha, it’s been a while; you’ve reached the Transformation Stage!"
"Did you tell Master? Once Yuexian reaches Transformation God, Master scolds her every time he sees her," Xu Gang chuckled.
"Yeah, Yuexian’s been complaining to me about it for a while," Xu Gang’s wife added.
"Master said mine was a stroke of luck, not the result of pills," Li Xingci explained, sympathizing with his senior sister’s plight.
"When is Elder Su due?"
"In three days; Master’s already been waiting there for some time," Li Xingci said, a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
"Little Xi and I will go see Master first," Xu Gang said.
"Come on, I’ll take you there."
The Elder Council headquarters is made up of various small worlds. Great masters of supernatural abilities have gathered these small worlds together to form distinct regions.
The area where Li Xingci and Su Rantian reside is called the Upper Clarity Realm.
The entire Upper Clarity Realm is filled with unique spiritual energy, different from that of the human race, yet akin to the heavenly Qing Ling energy of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
In a lavish classical manor, Xu Fan’s first clone was having tea and chatting with Great Respected Elder Yan.
At this moment, Great Respected Elder Yan’s attitude toward Xu Fan had shifted dramatically.
"Family member, could you elaborate on that celestial tool design you mentioned? Once I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I’ll find an artifact grandmaster to craft it," Great Respected Elder Yan said, unable to contain his excitement.
As they discussed magical tools, Great Respected Elder Yan lamented his struggle to find the right one for himself.
Xu Fan immediately asked about Great Respected Elder Yan’s divine abilities and combat methods, then designed a celestial tool tailored to him.
A jade slip appeared in Xu Fan’s hand as he infused it with the celestial tool’s design and crafting instructions.
"Brother, once you find a suitable artifact grandmaster, just show them this jade slip. No need for explanations; everything will be clear," Xu Fan said with a smile.
Once a teacher, always a father figure; both he and Great Respected Elder Yan, as fellow disciples, felt a mutual respect during their conversation.
"Thank you, younger brother!" Great Respected Elder Yan laughed heartily, feeling he’d struck gold.
At that moment, Li Xingci led Xu Gang and his wife inside.
"Greetings, Master! Greetings, respected elder!" Xu Gang and his wife said in unison.
Great Respected Elder Yan turned his gaze to Xu Gang, his eyes lighting up with admiration.
Behind Xu Gang, the faint illusion of a three-legged golden crow flickered, a sign of mastery over fire-elemental divine abilities in the eyes of those who specialize in them.
"Rise," Xu Fan said.
"Younger brother, your disciple is truly exceptional," Great Respected Elder Yan remarked, a hint of envy in his voice.
"Haha, you’re too kind, Brother," Xu Fan replied, a smile tugging at his lips.
