Chapter 350: Li Chufan
Xu Gang looked at Xu Fan’s smiling face and knew his master must be feeling quite pleased with himself.
A faint surge of spiritual energy stirred, and the Golden Crow Illusion behind Xu Gang seemed ready to break free, as if it could soar to the heavens.
“Alright, Great Respected Elder Yan was just being polite. Don’t take it too seriously,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand to disperse the illusion of the three-legged golden crow.
“Go and check on Elder Su,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Understood.”
After the three people bowed and left, Great Respected Elder Yan turned to Xu Fan and said, “Younger brother, you’ve got a real talent for teaching disciples.”
“Each of them carries the aura of a celestial being,” Great Respected Elder Yan praised.
Though he had once looked down on Li Xingci, he couldn’t help but acknowledge the young man’s talent and fighting strength.
“You’re too kind, Brother,” Xu Fan replied modestly, waving his hand.
In the inner courtyard of Li Xingci’s estate, Su Rantian was carefully sewing clothes for the child, her face radiating a motherly glow.
“Husband, you’re here,” Su Rantian said, looking at Li Xingci and Xu Gang.
“Congratulations, Elder Su,” Xu Gang said, bowing respectfully.
“No need for formalities. From now on, you’ll be the child’s Uncle Master. I hope you’ll look after him in the future,” Su Rantian said with a smile.
“Of course.”
Xu Gang then presented a jade box.
“This is Qianyang Warm Jade. It wards off all evil and brings blessings to the heart.”
“This is a gift from my wife and me,” Xu Gang said with a smile. He had spent years of accumulated sect points to acquire this piece of warm jade.
Next, Xu Gang brought out three more gifts.
“This is Yuexian’s congratulatory gift, the Ten Thousand Blessings Spiritual Garment.”
“This is from Xiangchi—a Thousand Steel Spiritual Sword. The Sword Spirit hasn’t yet awakened, so it’s perfect for sealing within the child.”
“And this is Kailing’s Ten Thousand Methods Dao Disk. It will help the child learn spells in the future.”
These were all gifts entrusted to him by his fellow disciples before he left.
“When we return, we’ll make sure to thank everyone properly,” Li Xingci said, surprised by the generosity of his fellow disciples.
Three days later, it was the date Xu Fan had calculated.
With all five elements present and the three blessings gathered, it was a moment of great fortune for the small world.
“Younger brother, what does the timing of this child’s birth have to do with this small world?” Great Respected Elder Yan asked.
“The fortune of a realm is limited. When a new life is born, the realm grants it a share of that fortune.”
“At this specific time, the realm’s fortune is at its peak, so the child will receive greater benefits than usual.”
“For ordinary people, it means a lifetime of wealth.”
“For cultivators, it means a path free of misfortune,” Xu Fan explained, though he knew there were deeper implications he couldn’t fully articulate.
As the moment Xu Fan had predicted drew closer, subtle changes began to appear in the sky of the small world.
A faint pink hue painted the entire sky, and for a moment, everyone in this realm felt that the weather was exceptionally pleasant.
“The auspicious time is almost here.”
As Xu Fan spoke, a Yin-Yang Copper Coin appeared in his hand, and a massive Formation enveloped the entire manor.
With a gentle flick of his thumb, the Yin-Yang Copper Coin soared into the sky, carrying nearly half of Xu Fan’s accumulated Merit and Fortune, and landed in a large bowl.
Instantly, a radiant spiritual light began to emanate from Xu Fan.
“Luck Invocation Technique.”
A wisp of Xu Fan’s consciousness, infused with his gathered Merit and Fortune, shot up into the sky of this realm.
“Little brother, what are you doing?” Great Respected Elder Yan asked.
“The child has spent some time in the Void Realm and his talent is lacking, so I’m giving him a blessing,” Xu Fan explained.
At that moment, the observant Xu Gang noticed that Xu Fan’s hand was trembling slightly.
“Master, are you alright?” Xu Gang transmitted a message.
“I’m fine; this clone isn’t as strong as my true body, and using such a divine spell is a bit taxing,” Xu Fan replied.
“Master, you’ve worked hard,” Li Xingci said, bowing with gratitude.
As the realm’s fortune reached its peak, a loud cry of a newborn echoed from the delivery room.
“The child is born!” Great Respected Elder Yan exclaimed with joy.
A woman in white stepped out of the delivery room; she was a cultivator specializing in wood attribute techniques, specially invited to assist with the birth.
“The child is born—a boy. The mother is still weak but will recover in a few days.”
“You may go in and see them now,” the woman in white said.
“Alright.”
Everyone entered the delivery room.
A tiny baby, wrapped in spiritual cloth, nestled beside Su Rantian, his little lips moving as if searching for something.
“Master, please give the child a name,” Su Rantian said weakly.
“I’ll pass; let little brother handle it,” Great Respected Elder Yan said, waving his hand.
“Grand Elder,” Su Rantian turned her gaze to Xu Fan.
“If I’m to name him, let’s call him Li Chufan,” Xu Fan said after a moment of thought. He had plenty of grand names in mind, but those might be too flashy and not beneficial for the child’s future.
Low-key is the way to go.
Hearing the name, Great Respected Elder Yan first furrowed his brow but then relaxed and nodded slightly.
“Let’s call him Li Chufan, then,” Great Respected Elder Yan said.
Su Rantian and Li Xingci both nodded in agreement.
After seeing the baby, Xu Fan and Great Respected Elder Yan made their way to the conference hall.
“Little brother, once the child reaches a hundred days old, I will ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
“I’ll need you to look after Tian’er for me in the future,” Great Respected Elder Yan said, having realized that his in-law was no ordinary figure. Even aside from his cultivation, the skills Xu Fan had displayed during their meeting were remarkable.
“Elder Su is an elder of my Hidden Spirit Sect and my disciple’s wife, so Brother, you need not worry,” Xu Fan assured.
“That’s a relief,” Great Respected Elder Yan said with a smile.
Afterward, Xu Fan spent a few more days at the manor with Xu Gang and his wife before they all returned to their respective duties.
In Qianling Immortal City, Xu Gang was warmly greeted by his close friend as soon as he arrived.
“Brother Xu, it’s been too long!” Ji Muhua said excitedly.
“It hasn’t been that many years,” Xu Gang replied with a smile.
The two were like old friends reunited, with endless things to talk about.
The three of them boarded the Qianling Sect’s unique Qianling carriage and flew into the sect.
As soon as they entered Qianling Sect, Xu Gang laid eyes on three thousand towering peaks, each shimmering with runes.
“These are the Three Thousand Dao Peaks; each peak corresponds to a secret technique. Whether one can comprehend them depends on their insight and fortune,” Ji Muhua explained.
“Are the Three Thousand Divine Spells connected to the Three Thousand Dao?” Xu Gang asked in awe, struck by the grandeur of this ancient sect.
“Not directly, but they are related, pointing to the origin-level divine spells of the Three Thousand Dao. My sect doesn’t possess many of those,” Ji Muhua said.
“That’s still incredibly impressive,” Xu Gang remarked.
At that moment, the Qianling carriage brought them to the entrance of a cave dwelling.
“Grand Elder Qianling is away mining and is expected to return in about half a month.”
“I’ll be hosting you during this time,” Ji Muhua said, his tone brimming with eagerness.
“Then thank you, Brother Ji,” Xu Gang replied, feeling an inexplicable itch in his hands.
