Chapter 1072: Advice

"That’s great, younger brother! Make sure to teach my three disciples during this time," the elderly man with white hair said, his eyes gleaming.

His teaching style was straightforward: provide the best inheritance and magical treasures, and let the students handle the rest.

Xu Fan’s three Great Luo master nephews looked at him eagerly.

They knew that despite his lower cultivation level, their master’s perspective and understanding of the wide road in the Three Thousand Realms were top-tier.

For Great Luo disciples like them, who had grown up with little guidance, such teachings were highly anticipated.

Seeing their eager eyes, Xu Fan nodded slightly.

After all, there were only a few days left until the Grand Dragon Feast. Spending time chatting over tea and offering guidance would make the days pass quickly.

But Xu Fan underestimated just how eager his three Great Luo master nephews were.

As soon as Xu Fan began to offer advice, he felt the flow of time around him slow down.

The time distortion was subtle and could be disrupted with a slight disturbance.

Xu Fan glanced at the Sage of Book Spirit, puzzled.

"Master, this is a rare opportunity. My second brother, third brother, and I would like to hear more of your insights on the wide road," the Sage of Book Spirit said with a smile.

"Exactly, Master! After your last guidance, everything clicked for me, and my cultivation has been much smoother since. I’m almost at the peak of my Present Self," the Sage Qi Bao added.

"I’m the only one among the Great Luo master nephews who hasn’t received your guidance, Master. Please, teach me this time," the Sage Xuan Yin said.

Xu Fan silently calculated the flow of time in his area. It would take at least three years until the Grand Dragon Feast began.

Looking at their eager faces, Xu Fan sighed softly and decided to proceed with the guidance.

By now, Xu Fan no longer saw Big Brother and his apprentices as outsiders.

With the return of the Hidden Spirit Sect’s disciples, almost everyone in the sect had emerged from their retreats.

The entire sect buzzed with excitement, all eagerly awaiting the Grand Dragon Feast.

To prepare for the feast, the two Gourmet Disciples had mobilized nearly every disciple in the gourmet division to help.

Tens of thousands of disciples, under the guidance of the gourmet division, worked to process the Golden Immortal true dragon.

"Once the dragon meat is cut, it must be stored in Ice Melting Immortal Liquid."

"The dragon heart and dragon liver must be preserved in pure immortal liquid."

"Don’t even think about the four dragon eyes, and definitely don’t lick them. They’ll be used to make a hundred-eyed soup for the sect’s brothers and sisters. Those cultivating eye-related powers will benefit greatly."

"As for the dragon bones, half will go into wine, thirty percent into medicine, and the remaining twenty percent will be made into Dragon Bone Pastry for the body refinement disciples to enjoy."

The two Gourmet Disciples directed the operation excitedly from above.

Even though the most valuable parts of the two Golden Immortal true dragons had been removed, the gourmet division still considered them top-tier ingredients.

"Brother Song, we just got word from the grapevine that some disciples can’t return to the sect due to special circumstances. We need to set aside ingredients for a thousand people for the Grand Dragon Feast," said one Gourmet Disciple.

"Alright, but make sure the grapevine uses the best preservation methods and applies time-restricting techniques to prevent spoilage," Brother Song replied.

"Got it. I’ll get to it right away."

More than half of the idle disciples in the sect gathered on the back peak’s flatland to watch the Golden Immortal true dragon being meticulously disassembled.

At that moment, Tian Jiao City, guarded by the Hidden Spirit Sect, was suddenly struck by a giant hand.

The entire Tian Jiao City turned to ruins, with 130,000 true immortal puppets and two Golden Immortal puppets completely destroyed.

"Master, the North Desolate Immortal Realm is being overrun by several Great Luo from the beast race, and it’s rumored that a quasi-saint from the beast race has also arrived at the front lines," the voice of the grapevine echoed.

Xu Fan had just finished this part of his discussion.

"130,000 true immortal puppets, 2,000 Holy Thunder Cannons, and two Golden Immortal puppets have all been crushed by the beast race’s Great Luo."

Hearing the report from the grapevine, Xu Fan suddenly felt that the Golden Immortal puppets from his sect were indeed plagued by misfortune.

Since the first Golden Immortal puppet was crafted, the losses had already added up to nearly ten.

"Uncle Master, if you have matters to attend to, you don’t need to worry about us," the Sage of Book Spirit said kindly.

"It’s fine; it’s rare to be so engrossed during this time. How can I disrupt your enthusiasm?" Xu Fan continued his talk.

He finished guiding his three Great Luo nephew disciples just one day before the Grand Dragon Feast began.

"Why are our sect’s Golden Immortal puppets so unlucky? One after another, they leave the sect," Xu Fan sighed while sitting in the courtyard.

"Master, the one attacking should be the Ice Elephant Sage, an ancient creature of the Elephant Race, who has proven his power in the Great Luo way," the grapevine stated.

Xu Fan listened and quietly took out his little notebook. He first looked at the cover before flipping to the second page, where he focused on creating an image of the Ice Elephant Sage.

After forming the image on the second page, Xu Fan still felt a bit unsatisfied.

"How many Great Luo are there in the Elephant Race?" Xu Fan asked.

"According to the database, there are four Great Luo in the Elephant Race, with the Heavenly Nose Sage being the closest relative to the Ice Elephant Great Luo."

Xu Fan added the Heavenly Nose Sage’s image to the second page as well.

At that moment, a true dragon, one thousand feet long, suddenly appeared in the sky and descended into the giant lake, flying low toward the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Suddenly, three pairs of eyes appeared in the sky, fixated on the Golden Immortal true dragon with a killing intent.

"Are you here to add to the feast?"

The voice of the Sage of Book Spirit echoed in the air, nearly scaring the Golden Immortal true dragon into submission.

"I’m not here to cause trouble!"

"I wish to discuss matters with the Hidden Spirit Sect. If the Grand Dragon Feast truly happens, it will result in unending conflict with the Dragon Race, and that would be truly pointless."

"If you are willing, our Dragon Immortal Palace is ready to offer three treasures in the form of Golden Immortal level celestial beasts, each no less valuable than the true dragons in your hands."

The Golden Immortal true dragon, under the gaze of the three pairs of Great Luo eyes, spoke with a quivering voice.

"Do you people from the Dragon Immortal Palace really care so much about the remains of our true dragons?" Xu Fan’s virtual image appeared before the true dragon, asking with great interest.

"Being devoured by an alien race is considered the greatest shame by our Dragon Race."

"Let’s put aside for now the karmic ties between your sect, Xiao Luofan, and our Dragon Immortal Palace."

"But our Dragon Immortal Palace has offered this way out for your sect, hoping that you will take it and refrain from the act of consuming the corpses of our dragon race. If you do, it will surely lead to relentless conflict."

"In that case, five true dragon Great Luo from our Dragon Immortal Palace will stand guard, and even if the quasi-saints from your human race come, they won’t succeed." The true dragon passionately advised, showing great concern for the Hidden Spirit Sect.

As the true dragon spoke, an exquisite aroma wafted out from Hidden Spirit Island.

Before long, the aroma filled the entire giant lake.

When the Golden Immortal true dragon caught a whiff of this scent, its dragon face changed dramatically.
