Chapter 595: 108 Flowing Light Immortal Jade

After the advertisement ended, Xu Fan shook his head and said, “The video was well made, but the script was a bit too drawn out.”

The second clone chuckled and said, “I think it’s pretty good; I just wonder if this Immortal Jade is usable.”

“Of course it’s usable. Just delete that light segment inside, and it’ll work fine.”

“I guess this is a promotional perk, like the tissues they used to hand out on highways in my past life,” Xu Fan remarked as he examined the piece of Immortal Jade.

“This must have been paid for by some major forces from the Upper World as advertising fees; deploying one probably isn’t cheap,” Xu Fan said, sensing the information on the Immortal Jade.

At that moment, three or four streaks of light flashed across the sky, landing in the second clone’s hands.

“This ad is really boring.”

“All they do is brag about how great they are, but they don’t mention any benefits,” the second clone said, feeling bored after reviewing all the Immortal Jades.

“Did they say anything about the treatment for artifact great masters?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“Only one did; that force is called Heavenly Spirit Palace, and there’s only one Golden Immortal stationed there. They said if I go, I’ll be their second-in-command.”

“The invitation was very sincere, and the true immortal even personally extended the offer.”

“Of course, all of this is assuming I’m an artifact great master,” the second clone said, handing the piece of Immortal Jade to Xu Fan.

“Let’s keep these Immortal Jades as extra income,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

As they talked, three more streaks of light zipped across the sky, and the second clone instinctively reached out to catch the Immortal Jades.

“Why don’t I get any? If I had some like Number One, we’d be making a fortune just from these advertisement Immortal Jades,” Xu Fan lamented.

“True self, you’re really greedy.”

The second clone laughed, then waved his hand, signaling to continue crafting the Star Ship.

Xu Fan, holding more than a dozen pieces of Immortal Jade, left happily.

“If we get a dozen pieces of Immortal Jade every day, the Hidden Spirit Sect’s daily expenses would be covered,” Xu Fan dreamed.

“Master, Master Qianling has arrived,” Grape’s voice announced.

“This respected elder has been visiting more and more often,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Over the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Xu Fan rode a Large Spiritual Boat to welcome Master Qianling.

“I was planning to send Pang Fu to find you, but I didn’t expect you to come in person,” Xu Fan said.

Master Qianling descended from the Star Ship with five beast clan master craftsmen, landing on the deck of the spiritual boat.

“After delivering the celestial script treasure last time, I noticed the giant beast was being cut too slowly, so I brought five master craftsmen,” Master Qianling said with a hearty laugh.

Recently, he had struck it rich mining in the Extreme Void Domain, and the Core Formation stage disciples of the Qianling Sect had all acquired Dao tools, significantly boosting the sect’s overall strength.

“Respected elder, even if we’re separated by millions of miles, our thoughts are still connected. I was just about to send Pang Fu to borrow a few master craftsmen from your sect,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“No need for Pang Fu to go.”

Master Qianling waved his hand at the beast clan master craftsmen behind him, and they promptly flew toward Hidden Spirit Island, joining the efforts to craft the Star Ship and cut the giant beast according to Grape’s allocation.

“There’s no need to talk about borrowing between our sects; just take whatever you need,” Master Qianling said generously.

Xu Fan then took Master Qianling to the guest hall to enjoy tea together.

“Respected Elder, what brings you here this time?” Xu Fan inquired, knowing well that the Hidden Spirit Sect and Qianling Sect were far apart; no one would make such a trip without a good reason.

“Hehe, I came to ask the Grand Elder if you’ve advanced to become an artifact great master,” Master Qianling whispered, as if wary of eavesdroppers.

“Almost there. I estimate that in about one hundred years’ time, I’ll officially step into the realm of an artifact great master,” Xu Fan replied with a serious tone.

Such matters aren’t to be shared lightly; otherwise, if you knew I was advancing to artifact great master, you’d probably pester me every day.

Just then, a streak of light shot across the sky, piercing through the protective grand formation and heading straight for the second clone.

“Flowing Light Immortal Jade! It seems the Hidden Spirit Sect has just welcomed a newly advanced artifact great master. Congratulations, Grand Elder!” Master Qianling said with a grin, his expression suggesting he knew all about Xu Fan’s little secret.

“Oh, what’s this Flowing Light Immortal Jade?” Xu Fan asked, intrigued.

“It’s something from the Upper World’s major powers, trading with our Heavenly Dao. For any cultivator who meets their standards, the Heavenly Dao of our world will bestow Immortal Jade.”

“When you ascend to the Upper World in the future, holding this Immortal Jade will allow you to join that power, typically associated with invincible respected elders, artifact great masters who haven’t yet crafted celestial tools, or alchemy grandmasters.”

“Do you know which category your sect falls into?” Master Qianling asked, squinting slightly.

“Grand Elder, just tell me the truth. Have you advanced to become an artifact great master? Don’t worry; I won’t tell a soul,” Master Qianling pressed again.

“Respected Elder, whether I’ve advanced or not, let’s discuss crafting celestial tools in one hundred years’ time.”

Xu Fan realized his peaceful days were numbered.

“Of course, within a hundred years, I won’t rush you to help me craft celestial tools,” Master Qianling said with a flattering tone, then produced a space ring and a jade slip engraved with the words "Congratulations Gift."

“Grand Elder, our Qianling Sect isn’t one to overlook proper etiquette. This time, I’ve come primarily to deliver a congratulatory gift for your advancement to artifact great master.”

Xu Fan took the space ring and jade slip, glanced at them, and gasped in astonishment.

“Respected Elder, have you emptied your entire treasury?” Xu Fan exclaimed, shocked.

The gift list in the jade slip was overwhelming; Qianling Sect had truly outdone themselves.

“We did empty quite a bit, but later the leader felt it wasn’t grand enough, so he took a long trip before returning.”

“Since the Grand Elder has advanced to artifact great master, this gift must match your status,” Master Qianling said with a smile.

“With so much, I feel unworthy of such generosity,” Xu Fan said, a bit bashfully.

The gift from Qianling Sect was enough to craft two celestial tools, allowing the entire sect to rest easy for a hundred years without worrying about resources.

Master Qianling felt reassured, thinking, *That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.*

“Grand Elder, accept it with peace of mind. The prestige of being the second artifact great master in the cultivation world far outweighs this gift by a hundredfold or a thousandfold.”

“It’s just that the Grand Elder prefers to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if word got out, countless sects would come to congratulate you,” Master Qianling said, exaggerating slightly.

*Countless sects coming to congratulate me? Don’t you want to wear me out?*

Xu Fan considered himself a simple man; since he had accepted someone else’s gift, he needed to return the favor.

If he accepted too much, First Clone and Second Clone would likely fall out with him and leave home.

“Respected Elder, you’ve been very thoughtful. After I return, if there’s time, please send over the spirit ore and requirements for crafting celestial tools.”

“If I have time, I’ll start working on the crafting.”
