Chapter 1123: A Large Number of Golden Immortals

“So, how much can you cover for me this time?” Han Feiyu asked casually.

He thought staying here for a thousand years wouldn’t be so bad.

“For this mission, I’ll count it as one hundred Immortal Jade. Normally, I’d only get eighty,” Little Flower Deer said, sounding quite fair.

Han Feiyu did the math: if he completed two tasks a day, it would take him 140,000 years to pay off one hundred billion Immortal Jade.

But considering his true immortal lifespan, it was definitely doable.

Seeing Han Feiyu’s expression, Little Flower Deer smiled and said, “Don’t bother with the calculations. I’ll keep track for you. By my estimate, if you stick with me, you’ll only need to work for 150,000 years before you can leave.”

“Our Flower Spirit Clan doesn’t cheat the human race.”

“Alright then,” Han Feiyu said, glancing at the rampaging sea beasts below. He unleashed a massive Five Elements Annihilation sword formation, sending it crashing into the ocean depths.

The sea beasts were wiped out, turning the entire sea blood-red. Han Feiyu calmly retracted the sword formation and clapped his hands.

“Little Flower Deer, what’s next?” Han Feiyu asked with a grin.

“Can you refine pills?”

Han Feiyu shook his head.

“How about artifact crafting?”

Han Feiyu shook his head again.

“Then let’s patrol the surrounding waters and see if there are any troublesome sea beasts,” Little Flower Deer suggested after a moment’s thought.

“Let’s go then.”

Compared to the harsh conditions in the Thousand Mountains of Despair, Han Feiyu felt like he was on vacation now.

Just then, Han Feiyu’s communication mirror chimed.

“Master?” Han Feiyu said, surprised to see the person on the mirror.

“You little rascal, if I hadn’t reached out to Grape, I wouldn’t have known you had a Myriad Paths Pavilion communication mirror,” Wang Xiangchi said, his voice filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

“Master, I missed you so much while you were gone.”

“I’ve been through so much—hunger, cold, all kinds of hardships. I’ve really seen it all,” Han Feiyu lamented.

“You don’t look like you’re suffering now,” Wang Xiangchi remarked, noticing Little Flower Deer’s curious presence behind Han Feiyu through the mirror.

Her delicate face, fair skin, and enchanting figure, especially her colorful wings that shimmered like satin, gave off an otherworldly vibe.

After so long apart, Wang Xiangchi was surprised to see his disciple enjoying such company—more extravagant than even himself.

Feeling his master’s gaze, Han Feiyu turned and saw Little Flower Deer beside him.

Before he could explain, Wang Xiangchi cut him off.

“Don’t worry about Wujie. According to your Master Ancestor, he’s in for a great opportunity, so there’s no need to fret.”

“I just wanted to check in and see how you’re doing,” Wang Xiangchi said warmly.

“Master, I’ve just come out of that endless suffering, and now I’m finally feeling a bit at ease.”

“Master, you don’t need to tell me about your situation; I already know.”

“Is the Grand Dragon Feast delicious? What about the Dragon Whip Wine…?” Han Feiyu asked with a sly grin.

“You little rascal, daring to tease your master,” Wang Xiangchi chuckled, half-scolding.

“What’s the deal with this girl next to you, my disciple’s partner? Even though our sect doesn’t forbid such relationships, you’d better think it through carefully.”

“If you’re really serious about her, you can bring her back to the sect and have her re-cultivate to become part of the human race.”

“Of course, if this is the kind of relationship you’re after, then I won’t say anything more as your master.”

“It looks like you’re doing well, so I can rest easy,” Wang Xiangchi said before ending the call.

Han Feiyu stared at the now-dark screen of the communication mirror, feeling a pang of sadness.

“This is a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure. Should I hand it over to the clan leader to settle the debt?” Little Flower Deer suggested.

“How much Immortal Jade can your clan come up with? Even if we knock off a hundred billion Immortal Jade, this thing is still worth a fortune,” Han Feiyu replied.

“No worries, our clan has plenty of Immortal Jade,” Little Flower Deer said proudly, lifting her chin. Their clan leader is a Great Luo Sage—how much could a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure really be worth?

“Then ask them if they can afford this communication artifact that can reach across the entire Three Thousand Realms,” Han Feiyu shot back.

“Hold on, let me ask the clan leader,” Little Flower Deer said, pulling out her communication artifact to inquire.

But before long, Little Flower Deer’s face fell.

“Our clan leader said we don’t need this right now, so it can’t be used to settle the debt.”

“Well, in that case, let’s get back to work,” Han Feiyu said, taking the lead as they resumed patrolling the ocean.

Meanwhile, at the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan was admiring the River of Time flowing above him.

This was the sixth one he’d seen recently.

The Sweeping Old Man, Xiong Li, Su Rantian, and one of the most surprising disciples, Li Lei Hu.

The River of Time he was currently watching belonged to Li Lei Hu.

“Logically, this kid just touched the Golden Immortal Realm. How is he advancing without any refinement or tempering?”

Just then, another River of Time appeared in the sky.

Xu Fan sensed it immediately—it was Li Lei Hu’s cultivation partner, Lin Mo Wan. Both of them were about to ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm today.

Seeing this, Xu Fan began to piece things together.

He had once issued an order that any sect member with a cultivation partner could claim a jar of the first batch of Dragon Whip Wine from the sect’s treasury.

“Master, the two of them haven’t left their cave much since they got the Dragon Whip Wine,” Grape reported.

“Their rapid advancement to the Golden Immortal Realm might have something to do with that Dragon Whip Wine,” Xu Fan mused.

“I think so too. I didn’t expect the Dragon Whip Wine to be so potent.”

Li Lei Hu and Lin Mo Wan had both reached the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm in recent years, and with the boost from the Dragon Whip Wine, they managed to break through so quickly.

At that moment, Li Lei Hu’s spirit transformed into a swirling mass of lightning.

Lin Mo Wan’s spirit took the form of a willow tree.

Within the River of Time, the two spirits overlapped, merging together to withstand the relentless flow of time.

Just then, Xu Gang appeared beside Xu Fan, also gazing up at the River of Time.

“Master, our sect is growing stronger by the day,” Xu Gang said with a hint of awe.

“It’s inevitable, but I didn’t expect it to happen this fast,” Xu Fan replied.

Originally, Xu Fan had thought it would take at least a hundred thousand years for the sect to produce a significant number of Golden Immortals.

“Without your thousand years of teaching, I and the sect’s disciples might not have touched the Golden Immortal Realm for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.”

“Everything we’ve achieved is thanks to you, Master,” Xu Gang said earnestly.

“It’s your talent that got you here. I just sped things up a bit,” Xu Fan said with a dismissive wave.

As time passed, the River of Time in the sky gradually faded and disappeared.

Li Lei Hu and Lin Mo Wan approached Xu Fan and bowed deeply.

“Rise. You’ve both done well. Now our sect can truly be called an Immortal Sect with a holy body Golden Immortal,” Xu Fan said warmly.

“In front of the Grand Elder, it’s nothing worth mentioning,” Li Lei Hu quickly replied.
