Chapter 372: The Guide for Sect Disciples on External Missions
Xu Fan observed the game for a while and noticed that some items connected to reality were over half the price in spirit stones, which prompted his inquiry.
At that moment, a list appeared before Xu Fan, detailing the process for a Tian Puppet Master to purchase a Tier Four Nascent Soul Stage puppet.
The more Xu Fan looked at it, the more familiar the system felt.
"Isn’t this a bit shady?" Xu Fan said, his expression uneasy.
It turned out that after purchasing the puppet, using it for tasks would result in spiritual energy consumption.
The solution was either to use spirit stones to power the puppet, which would definitely not be worth the cost, or to choose the second option: use the sect’s Spirit Gathering Formation to supply spiritual energy, which could save half the spirit stones.
"Energy supply, maintenance, upkeep, and replacement for the puppet—this is not your average setup," Xu Fan joked.
Xu Fan calculated that after completing tasks, at least thirty percent of the task spirit stones would be spent on the puppet’s later maintenance.
"Forget it, lowering the energy supply cost to the base price—your heart is even darker than mine," Xu Fan said with a hint of reluctance.
"Are you sure? If so, in thirty years, the master will lose trillions of spirit stones, depending on the number of Tian Puppet Masters," Grape replied.
"Increase the energy supply cost by thirty percent on top of the base," Xu Fan said seriously.
"Understood," Grape confirmed.
At that moment, a flash of blood appeared next to Xu Fan, transforming into Spirit Cut.
"Grand Elder, I’ve found a genius in your sect’s game," Spirit Cut said.
"What genius could I have missed?" Xu Fan asked curiously.
"Hehe, when I’m bored, I go…"
Spirit Cut recounted his encounter with the middle-aged butcher.
"Grand Elder, this butcher named Li must be a concealed holy body related to thunder; his talent is definitely not low. He might be something special," Spirit Cut said, his voice growing softer as he pointed toward the sky.
"Thank you for the advice, Elder Spirit Cut. I know him; let things flow naturally. Such matters of deep karma, regardless of being good or bad, require caution," Xu Fan replied after some thought.
"Understood," Spirit Cut nodded.
"Indeed, for someone with deep karma, it’s best to keep a distance," Spirit Cut added.
He had heard or seen many secrets in the cultivation world over the past thousand years. Such individuals with deep karma were a double-edged sword; if one gambled right, they would elevate everyone around them. If one gambled wrong, the outcome was often death.
"As long as the elder understands," Xu Fan took the lead to say.
Suddenly, Spirit Cut smiled and asked, "Grand Elder, is this virtual game regulated by Grape?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" Xu Fan responded.
"Could you get me a top-notch magical artifact in the game? That mountain-dwelling giant beast is too tough to handle."
"If it were in the cultivation world, I could take down thousands of those Nascent Soul stage little demons with a single cut," Spirit Cut said through gritted teeth, remembering how badly he had been beaten by the mountain-dwelling giant beast in the game.
"Elder Spirit Cut, if I really give you a top-notch magical artifact, would you still find any fun after defeating that giant beast?" Xu Fan questioned.
Spirit Cut paused, then burst into laughter, saying, "You’ve got a point; thank you for your guidance, Grand Elder."
"You’re too kind."
Xu Fan watched the retreating light of Spirit Cut and remarked with curiosity, "It feels like this respected elder unlocked some strange traits after arriving at the Hidden Spirit Sect."
……………….
In the Extreme North region, in Warm Jade Fairy City, Han Feiyu was attending Iron Tower’s wedding. The event was simple and modest, with guests being served various types of frozen dried fish and only one plate of vegetables per table.
"It’s been three months, and I still haven’t found a foolproof way to leave this place," Han Feiyu sighed.
"Brother Han, you still haven’t given up?" Iron Blue, who was rarely dressed up, said with a hint of sadness as she sat beside Han Feiyu.
"This isn’t my home," Han Feiyu shook his head.
"It will be someday," Iron Blue replied.
That evening, not far from Warm Jade Fairy City, there was a precious artifact palace hidden beneath the ice—this was where Han Feiyu was currently staying.
In a brightly lit room, Han Feiyu took out everything from his space ring and began examining each item.
"Master Ancestor once said that there’s always a glimmer of hope in everything, so there must be a way to escape from here," Han Feiyu said.
He first went through the enhanced Spiritual Treasures, spirit stones, and spirit ore, only to find they were useless for his escape.
At that moment, a jade slip resembling a jade plate caught Han Feiyu’s attention.
"This is the guide for sect disciples on external missions," Han Feiyu said.
When Han Feiyu first got this guide, he was amazed by its contents, which were as vast as a star sea; he had already read hundreds of thousands of words.
Eventually, the sheer volume of information in the guide forced Han Feiyu to set it aside until he needed it.
"I wonder if this guide has any advice for a situation like mine," Han Feiyu said, suddenly intrigued as he picked up the jade slip to check.
As Han Feiyu’s thoughts delved into the jade slip, he was overwhelmed by the extensive directory.
"Spatial turbulence in different locations!!"
"I can’t believe it’s actually in here!" Han Feiyu exclaimed with joy, then searched for the relevant sections.
"Same realm, different realm, with spirit section, without spirit section, technology section, alien power section, and more…"
At that moment, Han Feiyu felt a chill run down his spine, a mix of awe and shock.
"Same realm, with spirit section, Ice World, teleportation formation ruins…"
Han Feiyu eagerly began looking for options that matched his situation.
At that moment, Han Feiyu just wanted to shout, "Master Ancestor is incredible!"
Far away on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan suddenly sneezed.
"Whoa, who’s thinking about me?" Xu Fan said.
At that moment, bored, Xu Fan entered the game to control his puppet and kill beasts.
A Void Refinement Stage puppet held a giant bow, drawing an arrow and aiming at a Core Formation stage beast race several dozen miles away—this was the eighth one he shot today.
But just then, that sneeze caused Xu Fan to miss his shot.
Xu Fan closed his eyes and calculated for a moment, realizing the sneeze had thrown off his aim, so he gave up.
At that moment, the Core Formation stage beast race, along with its underlings, found the puppet’s location.
"Looks like archery practice is over," he said.
The Refining Void Puppet summoned two massive sword shadows, one bright and one dark, which it then wielded.
"Watch my Dual Swords Flow," Xu Fan announced.
In an instant, endless sword light filled the area.
Before long, the battle ended, and a Large Spiritual Boat appeared above the puppet, arriving with a group of tool puppets that began loading a pile of fertilizer materials onto the spiritual boat.
"Guess I’ll just have to make sure I don’t end up dead," Xu Fan muttered.
