Chapter 620: Furious

The sorrowful Master Qianling didn’t stay long at the Hidden Spirit Sect before he took off in his cherished classic Star Ship towards the Extreme Void Domain.

After Master Qianling’s departure, Xu Fan greeted the return of First Clone.

“Do you still need the design drawings?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

“Are you questioning my abilities, or your own?”

“I don’t need any drawings to craft this,” First Clone replied lightly.

He then collected the spirit ore and headed towards the underground space, specifically the Artifact Hall, showing no interest in further conversation with Xu Fan.

“Once First Clone finishes the celestial tool, it’ll be time to reap the benefits,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

He now regretted crafting the celestial tool for Spirit Cut, as his status as a grandmaster in alchemy and artifact crafting didn’t garner much attention from the Immortal Realm.

Just as Xu Fan thought he could relax after arranging everything, a startling sword light shot towards the Hidden Spirit Sect at an incredible speed.

The sword light then disappeared, and Jian Wujie appeared outside the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“I’m finally back!” Jian Wujie exclaimed, looking around at the familiar surroundings with a sigh.

As Jian Wujie was about to call for Wang Xiangchi, Wang Xiangchi appeared beside him.

“Master!” Jian Wujie knelt down, offering a grand gesture of respect to his master.

“Get up quickly. Have you been well all these years?” Wang Xiangchi asked, looking at his disciple with a touch of nostalgia.

“I’ve been fine with Nine Sword Respected Elder, but I’ve missed you and Senior Brother Feiyu more and more.”

“Has Senior Brother Feiyu returned yet?” Jian Wujie inquired.

Wang Xiangchi shook his head.

“There’s still no news of your junior brother.”

“Junior brother is cautious by nature; he’ll surely be fine,” Jian Wujie reassured himself.

“First, let’s return to the sect. How did Nine Sword Respected Elder agree to let you come back?” Wang Xiangchi asked.

“He was invited by other elders to explore a secret realm and thought I would be in the way, so he sent me back. He said he would come to pick me up after he finished,” Jian Wujie explained.

“Now that you’re back, rest well in the sect,” Wang Xiangchi said.

Jian Wujie nodded.

The two then went to see Xu Fan.

“In the past, our sect was too weak to protect you.

“If you don’t wish to in the future, no one can take you from the Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan said to Jian Wujie.

“Thank you for your care, Master Ancestor. I don’t want to cause trouble for the sect. Besides, Nine Sword Respected Elder treats me well, so I wish to continue my training with him.”

“Once Nine Sword Respected Elder ascends to the Upper World, I will return to serve the sect again,” Jian Wujie said sincerely.

Xu Fan looked at his disciple with pride, seeing him as a promising young talent, and felt very satisfied.

Xu Fan then produced several bottles of healing and spiritual energy recovery spirit pills, all crafted during his spare time.

“Since you lack techniques and methods, Master Ancestor doesn’t have much to give you, so I’ll provide you with some spirit pills for healing and recovering spiritual energy,” Xu Fan said.

“Thank you, Master Ancestor.”

Wang Xiangchi and Jian Wujie then said their goodbyes and left.

“The Chosen One has returned, which means the other one might not be far behind,” Xu Fan remarked while starting to calculate with his hands.

“The Hidden Dragon appearance indicates that one should be coming back too,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Should we take advantage of it?”

“Forget it, he is still the Master Ancestor; I need to have some pride.”

Xu Fan resisted this very tempting thought, knowing that setting traps for the protagonist too often would certainly cause problems.

For example, there was Ye Xiaoyao, whom Xu Fan never wanted to see. Whenever he appeared, something bad always happened next to Xu Fan.

Just then, Xu Fan suddenly received a report from Grape.

“Master, the Dragon Egg is fighting with the Star-Swallowing Snake,” Grape’s tone sounded a little anxious.

After hearing this, Xu Fan immediately launched himself toward the spiritual liquid lake.

At that moment, the entire surface of the spiritual liquid lake was chaotic.

Xu Fan thought that the Star-Swallowing Snake would have the upper hand, but when he arrived at the scene, he was shocked to see it getting beaten and crying out.

“Stop it! Didn’t I tell you not to fight?”

With a wave of his hand, Xu Fan created a barrier between the Star-Swallowing Snake and the Dragon Egg.

The Tianji Turtle and Transformation God-level giant turtle, who were originally enjoying the show, instantly lost interest and sank to the lakebed.

Xu Fan looked sternly at the Dragon Egg and the Star-Swallowing Snake.

“Why are you fighting?”

The Dragon Egg and the Star-Swallowing Snake began to gesture at each other, but Xu Fan couldn’t understand after watching for a long time.

Finally, he casually summoned the Tianji Turtle, which was about to sink to the bottom of the lake.

“Why are they fighting?” Xu Fan asked.

“U~,” the Tianji Turtle replied.

Xu Fan understood the background and looked disapprovingly at the battered Star-Swallowing Snake.

“You can’t even handle a few eggs!”

The Star-Swallowing Snake looked wronged, claiming that it had accidentally bumped into them and was then surrounded and beaten by the six eggs.

“You six eggs ganging up on this little snake is just shameful,” Xu Fan turned and scolded the six eggs again.

One of the eggs started jumping around, expressing something that Xu Fan couldn’t understand.

Just then, the shell of one of the Dragon Eggs suddenly cracked open, startling Xu Fan.

“I told you not to explode!” Xu Fan exclaimed.

“Roar!”

A cute dragon roar sounded.

A golden little dragon, less than ten inches long but exuding the aura of a true dragon, jumped out of the eggshell.

After circling in the air, it didn’t find the person it was looking for, turned around, and landed next to its eggshell, starting to eat the shell.

“This belongs to Xu Gang,” Xu Fan deduced through the process of elimination as he remembered which disciple had signed the contract with the eggshell.

“Grape, hurry up and call Xu Gang and Xingci over,” Xu Fan said anxiously.

Just as the golden little dragon was about to finish eating the eggshell, Xu Gang and Li Xingci appeared beside Xu Fan.

“Xu Gang, your egg has hatched; take good care of it,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Xingci, do you know how to raise this Divine Beast?” Xu Fan asked Li Xingci.

“Such Divine Beasts usually have inheritances. In the early stages, feed it some blood and meat, and later on, it will tell you what it wants to eat,” Li Xingci pondered and replied.

The golden little dragon, having finished the eggshell, changed its gaze upon seeing Xu Gang, then flew onto Xu Gang’s head and coiled around it, falling into a deep sleep.

“Master, didn’t this dragon egg take years to hatch?” Xu Gang asked as he gently stroked the little dragon’s head.

“Who knows? I just scolded them a moment ago; perhaps this one got so angry that it hatched early,” Xu Fan said, confused.

At that moment, a spiritual energy whirlpool appeared above Xu Gang’s head.

“Great, another energy consumer has arrived,” Xu Fan said helplessly.

Xu Gang shrugged, indicating there was not much they could do.

“If nothing else, Master could refine some of the highest-quality Five Elements Pills; that should help alleviate the spiritual energy consumption,” Li Xingci suggested after thinking for a moment.
