Chapter 632: Mysterious Blue Stone

"Mysterious Blue Stone," Xu Fan said as he took the stone from Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign.

"Yes, Grand Elder, it’s the Mysterious Blue Stone. I found it while exploring the disaster zone in the inner area," Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign explained.

"The Spirit Ore Star containing the Mysterious Blue Stone is at least three miles in diameter. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it," he added, clearly excited.

In the cultivation world, the Mysterious Blue Stone is renowned for its versatility. It can be integrated into various spirit ores, enhancing their properties by at least twenty percent when mixed in the right proportions.

Holding the stone, Xu Fan’s mind raced with the idea of creating the most powerful Great Ascension stage puppet army.

"Master, with a substantial amount of Mysterious Blue Stone, we can overcome a major hurdle in the Great Ascension stage puppet production line," Grape’s voice chimed in.

"Moreover, it could reduce the production costs by about thirty percent," Grape added.

"Has the final timeline for the Great Ascension stage puppet production line been set?" Xu Fan inquired.

"Not yet, but with a bit more time, I’ll have a precise answer for you," Grape responded.

After his conversation with Grape, Xu Fan turned to Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign with a smile. "How have you been finding life at the Hidden Spirit Sect these past years?"

"Thanks to you, Grand Elder, my family is finally reunited, a dream I thought was impossible," Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign expressed his gratitude.

A wish unfulfilled in the Thunder Bird Clan had come true within a human sect, bringing his family together in peace and happiness.

"You’ve earned this. Our mutual trust will take us far," Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

"You’ve done well. What reward would you like?" Xu Fan asked.

"It’s my duty, but I do have a request," Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign ventured.

"Go on," Xu Fan encouraged.

"Could you spare Wind Thunder Beast Sovereign?" he asked.

Xu Fan pondered the request, stroking his chin. "It’s not ideal; Wind Thunder Beast Sovereign is nearly tamed. To stop now would waste all our efforts."

"But since you’ve asked, I’ll give you a chance."

"Find a beast king with fighting strength equal to or greater than Wind Thunder Beast Sovereign to replace him," Xu Fan proposed.

After all, Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign had made a significant contribution; it was only fair to offer some reward.

Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign was initially concerned, thinking Xu Fan wanted him to capture another beast of similar strength.

This seemed impossible, as his own strength was slightly less than that of Wind Thunder Beast Sovereign.

"I’m not asking you to capture one, just to lure one into the vicinity of the Hidden Spirit Sect," Xu Fan clarified.

"Once there, others will handle the capture. Whether it succeeds or not, your task will be considered complete," Xu Fan explained.

Hearing this, Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign’s eyes brightened with hope.

"Do I not need to go and catch them myself?"

"Of course not. Even if I let you, you wouldn’t be able to catch them," Xu Fan rolled his eyes at Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign. How could this foolish bird be so clueless?

"I understand. Don’t worry, Grand Elder. If possible, I can also lure more beast kings. Would you like that?" Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign suddenly became excited.

As a major family in the demon race, how could they not have a few rival clans?

"At most, bring in three. Any more than that, and I’ll slay them on the spot," Xu Fan said.

"Understood. Grand Elder, give me a few years, and I guarantee I’ll bring them over," Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign said excitedly.

Xu Fan nodded, and Swift Thunder Beast Sovereign left in excitement.

"Grape, refine and store the Mysterious Blue Stone, and send some to Brother Sha to see if we can enhance the performance of the universal alloy," Xu Fan instructed.

Brother Sha’s universal alloy has already become a key material for the Void Refinement Stage Puppets and Core Formation Stage Puppets.

"Understood, Master."

After handling this matter, Xu Fan returned to the underground space.

In the underground space, avatar number one and avatar number two were busy refining the Great Ascension stage puppets.

"The small Star Ship in the disaster area of the inner region has collected a star full of Mysterious Blue Stone."

"In the future, the structure and power of the puppets will improve significantly," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Mysterious Blue Stone! You’re lucky, main body," avatar number one said with a laugh.

"This puppet hasn’t been under refinement for too long. We should have time to integrate some Mysterious Blue Stone," avatar number two suggested.

"Then let’s create two versions: one basic version for dealing with Small Fry, and another performance version specifically for confronting Invincible Beast King," Xu Fan decided.

"Let’s refine five of the basic ones and five of the performance ones. That should be enough for now without going too far," Xu Fan thought aloud.

"Absolutely sufficient. It’s not like Invincible Beast King comes knocking every day," avatar number two chuckled.

At that moment, Brother Sha excitedly entered the underground space.

"Grand Elder, I have refined the perfect universal alloy!" Brother Sha said with enthusiasm.

"By incorporating Mysterious Blue Stone powder in a specific proportion, this can not only perfectly replicate spirit ores below the artifact-level but also enhance their performance by twenty percent."

As Xu Fan was about to continue refining the Great Ascension stage puppets, he suddenly became excited upon hearing the news.

"Grape, quickly run the calculations. If what Brother Sha says is true, can we get the Core Formation stage puppet production line at the Hidden Spirit Sect up and running at full speed?" Xu Fan asked with excitement.

"Yes, not only that, but the Core Formation stage puppets produced will be two levels stronger than before," Grape replied.

Brother Sha produced a jade slip from his hand and smilingly handed it to Xu Fan.

"This is the ratio for using Mysterious Blue Stone powder under different conditions. I hope it’s useful to the Grand Elder," Brother Sha said.

"Brother Sha truly is a research talent," Xu Fan praised with a smile.

"The greatest contribution still goes to the Grand Elder for sending that piece of Mysterious Blue Stone. Without it, my universal alloy would never have reached this level," Brother Sha said.

After chatting for a while, Brother Sha returned to his cave to study the next type of alloy after drinking the Morale Boost.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan began to refine the performance version of the Great Ascension stage puppets.

Under the dedicated efforts of the three, ten years swiftly passed.

At this moment, Xu Fan looked at the ten puppets before him with a mix of fatigue and excitement.

"From now on, the Hidden Spirit Sect will no longer be the small sect that only knew how to evade when faced with Invincible Beast King," Xu Fan said proudly.

"We finally have a solid foundation," avatar number one said with a smile.

"Main body, you have to give us a long break. We’ve been working nonstop; it’s wearing me out!" avatar number two joked.

"That’s a must. I even invited Jade Light Beast King for you," Xu Fan replied with a laugh.

Only men truly understand men.
