Chapter 368: Grape Promotion |
On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was modifying the Demon Clan’s Giant Beast Warship, with Sha Diao watching on the side.
“The Great Master’s artifact refining technique holds a subtly impressive touch amidst its apparent simplicity,” Sha Diao remarked, observing Xu Fan’s standard refining procedure.
“This is known as returning to simplicity, to the mundane. Once you reach my level…” Xu Fan replaced a part on the warship he was improving.
“And what happens when one reaches Great Master’s level?” Sha Diao asked eagerly.
“They smoothly enter the realm of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster,” Xu Fan chuckled, but he wasn’t joking. His only limit at present was his cultivation level.
“Really, Great Master? Please teach me.” Sha Diao’s eyes lit up at these words.
“With your aptitude, becoming an Artifact Refining Master is as far as you can expect to go,” Xu Fan replied, starting to refine another small accessory using a pile of Spirit Ores.
Sha Diao frowned at his words. What was meant by ‘becoming an Artifact Refining Master is as far as you can expect to go’?
“But you are my good Senior Brother, after all.”
“So that you’ll have a slim chance of becoming an Artifact Refining Grandmaster,” Xu Fan stated confidently.
At this moment, Xu Fan was transforming a pile of Spirit Ores into various forms, ultimately condensing them into dozens of gear-shaped Magical Treasures.
Xu Fan then assembled the gears in order.
“How slim is a ‘slim chance’, exactly?” Sha Diao asked, itching to know.
“There’s no precise measurement, but probably around fifty percent,” Xu Fan answered casually.
Just then, a puppet flew in on a Spirit Boat, which was loaded with Spirit Ores needed for modifying the Demon Clan’s Giant Beast Warship.
“Great Master, where should my path lead?” Sha Diao implored, resolute in his determination to become an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, even if the price was steep.
“Your path lies beneath your feet,” Xu Fan responded without a second thought.
Sha Diao found this joke far from amusing.
Meanwhile, Xu Gang and Xu LingTai were sparring against each other at the Hidden Spirit Sect dojo.
Outside the dojo, Wang Xiangchi was watching their duel with his two disciples.
Both Han Feiyu and Sword Wuji watched, slack-jawed, as the duo unleashed their Divine Abilities.
In the dojo, Xu LingTai’s Thousand-Hand Illusion had materialized to great detail and moved with the force of the Five Elements.
“Ice Sword Rain”
Countless spiritual swords made of ice appeared in the sky, aiming at the entire dojo.
At this moment, another Thousand-Hand Illusion was not as detailed or solid as Xu LingTai’s, but nevertheless each of its attacks precisely hit Xu LingTai’s vital parts.
“Magma Fireball”
“Red Dragon Burning Heaven”
“Lava Huge Hand.”
Series of fire-element Divine Abilities were launched at Xu LingTai’s Thousand-Hand Illusion.
Their back-and-forth was lively and heated.
“Is this really a Golden Core Stage combat power?” Han Feiyu stared in disbelief.
The entire dojo had been bombed out of shape, and an average dojo in Hidden Spirit Sect could withstand up to the Nascent Soul Stage.
“Not bad, right? LingTai is considered your Senior Brother amongst your peers. You guys should interact more in the future.”
“He grew up alongside the Great Master, so whether you can learn something depends on yourselves,” Wang Xiangchi chuckled. If it weren’t for his cultivation level here, he’d probably lose to his own disciples now.
“Really?”
The pupils of the two lit up simultaneously. It seems their Master just gave them a clear direction.
At this moment, Xu LingTai’s roar drew the attention of the three.
“Five Elements Extinguishing, explode!”
‘Boom’
The defensive formation of the entire dojo suddenly broke open.
The defense formation capable of withstanding a full attack from a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage just burst like that.
Amid the ruins of the dojo stood the figures of a father and son.
“Well done, once you advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, I won’t be your match anymore.” Xu Gang’s eyes held a hint of pride but also a trace of mild disappointment.
His son has grown up, now capable of going head-to-head with him like a real man.
“Dad, you didn’t even use your ultimate Divine Abilities, don’t be like this.”
“I still have a long way to go.” Xu LingTai said helplessly. Sometimes, the way his father tried to encourage him left him speechless.
“Alright, you two, stop complimenting each other.”
“LingTai, come here, let me introduce you to two junior fellows. You guys should communicate more in the future.” Wang Xiangchi walked over and said.
“Greetings to senior brother.” Wang Xiangchi said to Xu Gang.
“Xiangchi has arrived, let’s go, we will spar over the sea.” Xu Gang’s eyes lit up when he saw Wang Xiangchi.
“Haha, let’s forget about sparring, I am here to find LingTai.” Wang Xiangchi quickly waved his hands to refuse.
“If senior brother has an itch in his hand, Pu Tao can control the Magical Puppet to spar with you.”
“Pu Tao is currently evolving and can only maintain the operation of the Sect.” Xu Gang said with some loneliness.
“Then, senior brother, go find something for yourself from Master.” suggested Wang Xiangchi.
“That works.” Xu Gang nodded at Han Feiyu and Sword Wuji as a form of greeting. Then, he turned into a ray of fire and vanished at the original place.
“Greetings to senior brother LingTai.” The two of them bowed and said.
“Greetings, junior brothers. I have long heard about you two.” Xu LingTai said with a smile.
“Alright, LingTai, now that you, Feiyu, and Wuji know each other, try to share more battle experiences with your junior fellows in the future.”
“The kid Xiong Li is always out on missions, he’s hard to catch. You will have to take over.” Wang Xiangchi said.
Xu LingTai looked at Han Feiyu and Sword Wuji and said with a smile, “Small issue, it’s just battle experience. I guarantee I will teach the two junior fellows.”
“Great, then I will leave these two precious disciples to you.” After Wang Xiangchi finished speaking, he turned into a sword light and flew towards the outside of the Sect.
“Junior brothers, come to my mountain peak, I will treat you to tea.” Xu LingTai said with a smile.
At this moment, in the Underground Space, Pu Tao’s main body had already transformed into a standard spherical figure, its body turned pure white.
“Master, Pu Tao’s evolution is complete.”
As Xu Fan, who was busy modifying the Giant Beast Warship, put down his work, the first thing he asked was, “What abilities have you gained?”
Then, the Five Elements Spiritual Energy gathered, and a very handsome youth appeared in front of Xu Fan. However, the youth soon transformed into a child who looked like a scholar.
“Hehe, you’re pretty clever.”
“But, I’m not that petty.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Pu Tao understands.” The child bowed and said.
“Not bad, just after formation, you have the strength of someone at the God Transformation Stage.” Xu Fan patted Pu Tao and said.
“It’s all thanks to Master’s help.”
“Alright, quickly tell me what abilities you have.” Xu Fan said.
“First, as long as there is a carrier that can accommodate it, Pu Tao’s computing power can be almost infinite.”
“Second, I can divide out a hundred small avatars like controlling the Xing Zhou, and five large avatars, the same as my previous form.”
“Third, I can manipulate the Spiritual Qi within the Sect and alter its structure.”
As Pu Tao spoke, it gently lifted a hand, and the Spiritual Qi began to gather.
In no time, a standard Lower Grade Spirit Stone appeared in Pu Tao’s hand.
“Holy crap~”
