Chapter 635: Cube

"For instance, our sect only has a few Great Ascension stage puppets."

"If we had an endless supply of spirit ore, we could forge 20, 30, or even 100 Great Ascension stage puppets—maybe even more."

"Don’t you think that with that, our Hidden Spirit Sect would be invincible in the cultivation world?" Wang Xiangchi said with a smile.

He thought to himself that if Xu Fan had gotten hold of that jade gourd back then, their entire sect would probably be thriving now.

"Master is right," Han Feiyu nodded.

Han Feiyu was feeling quite troubled. With this jade gourd, he lacked nothing, but unfortunately, his talent was rather disappointing.

He had consumed countless top-tier spirit objects and secretly purchased numerous spirit pills.

Although they had some effect, to him, it didn’t seem significant.

Over the years, he had learned a lot while being outside.

One thing he realized was that, while he was fairly strong among the younger generation, he felt unnoticed within the Hidden Spirit Sect.

So, he often felt powerful outside but weak when he returned to the sect.

"Stop worrying about pointless things. Your talent might not be great, but your comprehension is decent, and you’re from the sword formation lineage. Once your cultivation improves, you could still become a top figure among the first and second-generation disciples," Wang Xiangchi reassured him.

"Master, I understand."

At this moment, Han Feiyu suddenly remembered a question he had been wanting to ask for a long time.

"Master, what do you think is the strongest path?" Han Feiyu asked curiously.

"Your Master Ancestor has already answered this question."

Thinking of this made Wang Xiangchi smile; he couldn’t help but recall his father, who often used magical treasures to torment him.

"What path?"

"Of course, it’s the money-making path. According to your Master Ancestor, as long as you have enough spirit stones and treasures, you can become the strongest being in the world."

"It’s just like the issue you mentioned earlier," Wang Xiangchi said.

"Money-making path?"

"Yes, exactly! It’s the money-making path. If you ever get the chance, you should discuss it with your Master Ancestor," Wang Xiangchi suggested.

Han Feiyu nodded.

Late at night, Han Feiyu returned to his cave dwelling.

"Why hasn’t this 100,000-year-old Spiritual Fruit had any effect on my talent?" Han Feiyu wondered, looking at the spirit herb in his space ring.

"My wretched talent will probably stay this way for life."

Han Feiyu had tried many spirit herbs and pills to enhance his aptitude. At first, they were quite effective, but later, he seemed to hit a bottleneck. No matter what method he used, he couldn’t improve his talent further.

Han Feiyu took out the 100,000-year-old Five Elements Fruit and ate it directly.

"Eat it; not eating would be a waste. It’s a pity I don’t have the talent for alchemy," Han Feiyu sighed.

A surge of powerful energy coursed through Han Feiyu’s body before settling in his dantian, slowly transforming into ordinary spiritual energy.

After consuming the Five Elements Fruit, Han Feiyu took out a completely transparent cube, the size of a magic cube.

"What exactly is this thing? Should I show it to the Grand Elder?" Han Feiyu muttered to himself.

This cube was something he had stumbled upon while returning to the sect. It wasn’t made of gold, jade, or stone, and it felt slightly cold to the touch.

It was incredibly hard and seemed to block all kinds of energy.

Han Feiyu had a feeling this object was special, so he kept it, hoping to figure out its purpose.

As he continued to study the cube, Xu Fan suddenly received a message from Grape.

"Master, the spatial seal in this area has been broken!" Grape said quickly.

"I felt it," Xu Fan replied, frowning.

"Grape, can you check how big the unsealed area is?"

"It’s within a radius of ten thousand miles," Grape responded.

While Xu Fan was talking to Grape, the space suddenly reverted to its sealed state.

"What’s going on?" Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

"Could someone have a treasure that can break the spatial seal? I’ve already taken it out," Xu Fan suggested.

At that moment, Xu Fan’s eyes lit up.

"Grape, mark the area where the space was unsealed. I want to see what caused it," Xu Fan instructed.

A light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan, showing a map with an irregular shape.

Looking at the map, Xu Fan frowned.

"The only thing I can say for sure is that the unsealing happened within the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake," Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.

This didn’t bother Xu Fan for long. The next day, his disciple Han Feiyu came to him, holding a cube.

"Master Ancestor, I found this strange object and wanted to ask you about it," Han Feiyu said.

Xu Fan took the transparent cube and stared at it, puzzled.

At that moment, within Grape’s sensing range, the spatial seal was broken again.

"This thing can break the spatial seal," Xu Fan said, looking at the cube.

"Other than that, I can’t see anything special about it."

Xu Fan handed the cube back to Han Feiyu.

"Master Ancestor, is this useful for the sect?"

Han Feiyu thought that if the cube was helpful, he would offer it to the sect.

"It’s not particularly useful. It only unseals an area of ten thousand miles. This object probably has other powers, so keep it safe. You might discover more about it later," Xu Fan said.

Xu Fan believed the cube was some kind of interdimensional object that happened to counteract the spatial seal.

"Alright, Master Ancestor," Han Feiyu said, putting the cube away. He felt a little disappointed.

He had thought he’d found something extraordinary.

"Have you been taking a lot of spirit herbs to boost your talent?" Xu Fan asked.

"I accidentally found a spirit garden with many herbs that enhance aptitude, so I used some," Han Feiyu explained.

"Are those herbs no longer working for you?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

Han Feiyu nodded.

"Your body needs time to process all that energy. You’ve taken too much; it’ll take at least 50 years for your body to absorb it all."

"Too much of a good thing can be harmful. You should know that," Xu Fan said, looking at Han Feiyu.

As soon as Han Feiyu arrived, Xu Fan could smell the scent of ancient spirit herbs.

Even though Han Feiyu tried to hide it, he couldn’t fool an alchemy grandmaster.

"I understand now, Master Ancestor," Han Feiyu said gratefully. He finally realized why the herbs hadn’t helped him improve.

"If you find more spirit herbs in the future, go to Alchemy Peak and talk to the disciples there."

"If the herbs are too rare for them to handle, you can come to me. Eating them raw is a waste," Xu Fan said with a smile.

He couldn’t help but think that his disciple was being too cautious.

With such valuable resources, he was still only at the Nascent Soul stage.
