Chapter 937: 1.28 Billion

Xu Yuexian brought the White Dragon to Xu Fan’s courtyard.

"Master, can’t I take Little Bai out for a journey?" Xu Yuexian asked, sounding a bit disappointed.

"It’s best not to, at least until I refine a celestial tool to hide his identity," Xu Fan replied seriously.

"If he steps outside the Hidden Spirit Sect’s boundaries and is exposed in the Immortal Realm, it will attract the Dragon Race’s attention. Even reincarnation through the Spirit Tree won’t help," Xu Fan explained.

"Wait another hundred years; by then, the White Dragon should reach the Quasi-Immortal level and be able to assist you when you go out," Xu Fan added.

"Alright," Xu Yuexian sighed.

Just then, a blue serpent with wings appeared in Xu Fan’s courtyard, its wings fluttering like a butterfly.

"Is this the spirit beast you created by combining the strengths of various beasts through the Spirit Tree?" Xu Fan asked.

"It’s stealthy, has detection abilities, and is skilled in the essence of the space wide road. It’ll be a great companion when you’re out exploring," Xu Fan said, examining the winged blue serpent.

The serpent looked at Xu Fan with a sense of familiarity, as if it sensed a maternal aura around him.

"Over this time, I’ve gathered the best traits from various spirit beasts and worked hard to create this one. I named it the Qiongwu Serpent," Xu Yuexian explained.

"Try creating a few more spirit beasts—some for combat, others for treasure hunting, escaping, or traveling," Xu Fan suggested.

"Once these spirit beasts prove themselves, I’ll have the Spirit Tree mass-produce them so every Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple can have a set," Xu Fan added, feeling pleased with the idea.

"Understood, Master! I’ll guide the Spirit Tree to create more suitable spirit beasts," Xu Yuexian nodded.

"Alright, I won’t stop you from leaving the sect this time. Just be careful and don’t wander too far—preferably stay within two Immortal Realms," Xu Fan advised.

Early the next morning, Xu Fan met with Xu Yuexian again.

She wanted to take the White Dragon out for training and to see the world, but Xu Fan firmly refused.

"Master, I heard the sect is short on Immortal Jade. I’ll go find some treasures to help out. Wait for my good news," Xu Yuexian said, placing the White Dragon in the Source Realm and bidding farewell to Xu Fan before leaving.

"It’s good for her to explore," Xu Fan remarked, watching her go.

Later, in the underground space, Xu Fan entered the Artifact Hall alone.

"Grape, how’s the progress on simulating the artifact-level puppet production line?" Xu Fan asked.

The newly acquired batch of immortal ores had given Grape plenty of material to work with, allowing it to simulate a production line for puppets with true immortal fighting strength.

"Master, the simulation is complete. However, building it will consume most of the immortal ores you’ve just acquired. Once completed, only about 20% of the ores will remain, and we can produce up to 200 true immortal-level puppets," Grape reported.

Grape had delayed reporting because it was still optimizing the production line.

"So, my over 10 million Immortal Jade will turn into a production line and 200 true immortal puppets?" Xu Fan frowned slightly.

"In the Immortal Realm, a standard puppet with true immortal fighting strength is worth between 100,000 to 200,000 Immortal Jade," Grape explained.

"Then let’s proceed with the plan. I’ll call Number One and Number Two back to assist you," Xu Fan nodded.

After doing the math, it didn’t seem like a bad deal after all.

"Understood, Master," Grape replied.

After Xu Fan finished explaining these matters, he arrived at the core space of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

The Hidden Spirit Island hadn’t upgraded the Spirit Gathering Formation in a long time, causing a lot of celestial energy to be wasted since arriving in the Immortal Realm.

"In the middle thousand world, it’s considered top-tier, but in the Immortal Realm, no matter how exquisite it is, it can’t keep up with the consumption rate of 83 million disciples," Xu Fan said, looking at the core of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

"If we switch to a general celestial spirit formation, it would be better not to change at all. Upgrading would mean replacing the core with celestial energy, which is another headache," Xu Fan said, scratching his head.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, many components in the Hidden Spirit Sect should have been replaced, but due to the lack of Immortal Jade, Xu Fan had to make do for now.

"Grape, repeat that for me. According to my initial plan, how much Immortal Jade will it cost?" Xu Fan asked again.

To motivate himself, he had Grape compile all his plans, calculating how much time it would take and the total cost in Immortal Jade.

"Master, it will require a total of 1.28 billion Immortal Jade," Grape’s clear voice rang out, each number pronounced exceptionally clearly.

Hearing that figure, Xu Fan trembled all over.

"I can’t slack off until the initial plan is completed; I need to get to work," Xu Fan murmured to himself.

"My wife must be saved, the Dragon Race’s grudge must be repaid, and not a single one of those in my little notebook or the other races can have it easy."

With that said, Xu Fan felt a surge of motivation.

"First, I’ll broadly modify this Spirit Gathering Formation, and when I have suitable immortals, I’ll refine the core celestial tool for it."

Xu Fan then entered labor mode.

In a cave, Han Feiyu slowly opened his eyes.

Then, a Quasi-Immortal aura burst forth from him.

A beam of celestial spirit light shot into the sky, and a celestial sword appeared above, inscribed with ancient celestial script.

Around the celestial sword, several phantom swords began to manifest.

Instantly, a vast and powerful sword qi swept across the Hidden Spirit Sect, attracting many Quasi-Immortal disciples to come and observe this phenomenon.

"Looking at the direction of the phenomenon, it should be Senior Brother Feiyu; our richest man in the Hidden Spirit Sect has finally awakened," the disciples exchanged remarks.

Wang Xiangchi and Jian Wujie appeared at Han Feiyu’s cave, looking up at the sword formation in the sky.

"The later waves push the earlier waves~" Wang Xiangchi said, feeling the immense aura.

"I need to work hard; in case my disciples surpass me, I won’t have any face left," Wang Xiangchi thought to himself as he looked at the phenomenon in the sky.

"Master, Senior Brother Feiyu has finally woken up."

"I’m sure Master will be very happy to see him," Jian Wujie said excitedly beside him.

"When this little rascal becomes a Quasi-Immortal, I must compete with him and see if he has truly improved as much as you say," Wang Xiangchi laughed.

"Master, you need to be careful; don’t have any accidents," Jian Wujie joked beside him.

The celestial sword phantoms in the sky began to shrink and finally merged into Han Feiyu’s body.

"Just like that, I’ve advanced to Quasi-Immortal; it’s a pity I didn’t experience what the supreme realm feels like," Han Feiyu said with a bit of regret.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

"Master has returned to the sect!" Han Feiyu said excitedly, and then his figure vanished, appearing outside the cave.

"Master!" Han Feiyu looked at Wang Xiangchi with longing and said.
