Chapter 926: The Path of the Unorthodox

In the main peak’s dojo, Xu Fan looked at his disciples who had broken through to the Quasi-Immortal level and nodded with satisfaction.

It wasn’t easy. After many years of training, their cultivation had finally caught up to his.

“Don’t rush to work for the sect. First, stabilize your realms,” Xu Fan advised the eager disciples below, who were itching to contribute to the sect.

After their cultivation had advanced to the Quasi-Immortal level, the first thing they thought of was to take on tasks for the sect.

This was because they heard from the disciples of the Business World that the sect was in urgent need of Immortal Jade.

“Grand Elder, our cultivation is stable now, and it’s the perfect time to put in effort for the sect. Please let Grape assign us tasks,” Xiong Li, leading the group, said as he bowed to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan scanned the crowd and saw that nearly half of the disciples had already stabilized their cultivation.

“Fine, go take a stroll in the Immortal Realm and gather some intelligence while you’re at it.”

Xu Fan instructed Grape to start assigning tasks based on the surrounding intelligence.

After 20 years of cultivation, only 12 sections of the Three Thousand Paths Compass had lit up, which were mostly paths of the unorthodox; this was also Xu Fan’s plan for future side ventures.

Alcohol, poison, fate, secrets, ghosts—whatever paths were unconventional and hard to cultivate, Xu Fan chose to practice them.

A beam of spiritual light appeared in Xu Fan’s hand and directly entered Grape’s body.

“Grape, we can now begin establishing the true immortal level fighting strength puppet production line.”

“Find a way to package and sell the puppet production line for those below the Core Formation stage,” Xu Fan instructed.

In the Immortal Realm, production lines for magical tools, pills, and puppets were not rare; they only had different names.

These production lines were particularly favored by the merchant guilds in the Immortal Realm because they could harvest wealth from the middle thousand worlds outside the Immortal Realm.

“Understood, Master. Besides that, please confirm the task’s priority,” Grape replied.

“For priorities, first use the secret technique to brew celestial wine, then focus on poison. As for the rest, just bring back whatever Spiritual Treasure materials are easy to buy,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

He had just received updates from Number One and Number Two, saying that they had gathered nearly 5 million Immortal Jade over the years and hoped to complete the tasks within a hundred years.

“Understood.”

Outside Hidden Spirit Island was a vast, endless lake, with Hidden Spirit Island sitting at its center.

On a solitary boat, Wang Yulun and Luo Sheng were fishing.

Suddenly, a sword light streaked across the sky and flew rapidly toward Hidden Spirit Island.

“Elder Wang, your son has extraordinary talent. Achieving Golden Immortal and advancing to Great Luo in the future will be easy for him,” Luo Sheng complimented with a smile.

“He found a good wife in the Immortal Realm and secured a re-cultivation sacred medicine. Otherwise, his talent would only be slightly better than mine,” Wang Yulun replied cheerfully.

Xu Fan was about to take a stroll around the sect when he ran into Wang Xiangchi, who was rushing back.

“Master! My disciple is unfilial; I haven’t been able to serve you properly all these years,” Wang Xiangchi knelt and performed a deep bow, his eyes filled with longing as he looked at Xu Fan.

“Alright, it hasn’t been that many years~” Xu Fan personally helped Wang Xiangchi up, examining his good disciple whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“You’ve made great progress during your time in the Immortal Realm, living up to my expectations.”

At this moment, Wang Xiangchi was an invincible respected elder, with fighting strength comparable to the Purple Jade Flood Dragon of the past.

“Not a moment do I dare to forget your teachings, Master,” Wang Xiangchi said, feeling a sense of fulfillment as he stood before his most cherished mentor.

Suddenly, a phantom image of a Giant Sword appeared in the sky.

Upon seeing Xu Fan, Wang Xiangchi felt a surge of clarity and naturally advanced to the Quasi-Immortal level.

“First, stabilize your cultivation; I have a task for you later,” Xu Fan instructed.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Xu Fan enveloped Wang Xiangchi in a Void Teleportation Formation, sending him back to his cave dwelling.

Meanwhile, Luo Sheng, who was fishing in the lake, shifted his gaze to the area with the bobbing floats.

“That aura just now must have been your son’s breakthrough,” Luo Sheng commented.

“Not bad,” Wang Yulun replied with a slight smile, as he had also reached the Quasi-Immortal level.

Luo Sheng looked at Wang Yulun with the admiration of a younger brother toward an elder.

He decided to stay in the Hidden Spirit Sect forever, clinging tightly to Xu Fan and Wang Yulun, determined not to let go.

Feeling this might be his last opportunity, he committed himself fully.

At that moment, Wang Yulun’s fishing rod dipped, and a Tianhuan Pearl was pulled up.

Looking at the Tianhuan Pearl marked with the insignia of the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty, Luo Sheng felt a mystical sensation.

After fishing alongside this influential figure for so many years, he had caught all sorts of unusual things, not just fish.

He even ventured into the great lake to search for more unusual items.

Eventually, unable to resist Luo Sheng’s curious gaze, Wang Yulun shared his talent for fishing across the myriad worlds.

“Elder Wang, if you’re truly curious about the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty, I can take you to see it.”

“I’ve traveled there with my master before, so I can guide you,” Luo Sheng said with a laugh.

“Is the Great Luo Celestial Dynasty really that powerful?” Wang Yulun asked softly, intrigued by Luo Sheng’s words.

For some reason, the greater the influence of the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty seemed, the more uneasy he felt.

“Of course it’s powerful! It rose from obscurity to become a top-tier force in the Three Thousand Realms.”

“Keep in mind, there are only a few that can claim to be top-tier among the human race within the Three Thousand Realms,” Luo Sheng added.

“Is that so?” Wang Yulun nodded in understanding.

At that moment, Xu Fan appeared on the spiritual boat.

“Big Brother Xu, long time no see,” Wang Yulun greeted with a smile.

“Greetings, Grand Elder.”

With both influential figures present, Luo Sheng felt the need to perform well.

“Are you enjoying fishing here?” Xu Fan asked cheerfully.

“Very much! Since advancing to the Quasi-Immortal level, the things I catch have become increasingly valuable.”

“Big Brother Xu, take anything useful you find,” Wang Yulun said, handing a space ring to Xu Fan.

Was this the arrival of a new wave of benefits?

Before Xu Fan could look, his good brother pulled out another space ring and placed it in his hand.

“I haven’t had a chance to check these yet; Big Brother Xu, can you see if there are any good items inside?” Wang Yulun asked with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll take a look,” Xu Fan responded with a nod.

“By the way, Big Brother Xu, there’s something else,” Wang Yulun said with a suddenly serious expression.

“What matter? I will definitely help you resolve it,” Xu Fan replied, puzzled.

“Wang Xiangchi has advanced to the Quasi-Immortal level, and I will need Big Brother Xu to teach him carefully in the future.”

With that one statement from his good brother, Xu Fan understood the implication.

“That is a must. After spending some time in the Immortal Realm, Wang Xiangchi has rapidly increased in cultivation, realm, and fighting strength.”

“As his master, I naturally need to guide him with care, but you, as his father, should also educate him regularly.”

Xu Fan began to contemplate what kind of celestial tool to refine that would motivate his good brother to patiently and thoughtfully teach his child.
