Chapter 681: Number 654: Generous Gift
Finally, Xu Fan agreed to let his beloved disciple travel and gain experience.
After all, keeping him cooped up in the Sect forever is not ideal.
"Go ahead, take a Mahayana stage companion with you. Otherwise, I won't be at ease," Xu Fan thought and said.
"Thank you, Master, for supporting me. I will definitely derive the perfect Immortal Palace Feast Series Divine Abilities," Zhou Kailing promised.
"I'm not expecting much from that. As long as you come back alive, that's enough," Xu Fan calmly said.
Zhou Kailing bowed to Xu Fan and then left.
Looking at Zhou Kailing's escaping light, Wang Yulun couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xu, are you really planning to let him go out and gain experience on his own?"
"The child must get out and see the world as he grows up," Xu Fan said.
"Fortunately, the main enemies in the Cultivation World now are the Demon Clan. Otherwise, if news about our Hidden Spirit Sect leaks out, our reputation would be at stake," Wang Yulun said.
Just then, the little girl beside Wang Yulun frowned and said, "Just now, a voice told me not to mess with that person."
Xu Fan was astonished. His disciple's divine abilities seemed very useful.
Upon further thought, it made sense. Whatever creature it was, no one wanted to be covered in filth unless necessary.
"Haha, that person is not easy to provoke. Star, it's better to keep your distance from him," Wang Yulun said with a laugh.
The little girl, who was eating fish food, nodded her head.
Xu Fan spent the day fishing with Wang Yulun and the little girl. When it was time to wrap up, his No. 2 Clone came over with a Communication Magical Weapon.
"Here, your cheap spider disciple has something for you," the No. 2 Clone said.
"You used to be in charge of that, and you'll continue to be in charge in the future," Xu Fan replied.
During his absence, his Earth Spirit Spider disciple had learned divine abilities through the No. 2 Clone.
"Your spider disciple learns too quickly. I've already taught her everything you gave me," said the No. 2 Clone.
"She also wants to learn new Demon Clan divine abilities," continued the No. 2 Clone.
Only then did Xu Fan remember that his spider disciple was already at the Invincible Demon Venerable level.
"What else can be taught at the Invincible Monster Venerable level?" Xu Fan said and took the Communication Talisman.
"She wants an Immortal Tool to match her divine abilities that are suitable for Immortal Qi," Xu Fan read and paused for a moment, pondering a question in his mind.
Would his cheap spider disciple become his enemy in the future?
"You can have the divine abilities if you want an Immortal Tool, we'll make an equal exchange," Xu Fan thought and replied.
His spider disciple's main enemies now were the top clans of the Demon World.
Once his spider disciple became stronger, the first victims would be the top clans in the Demon World that held opposing beliefs.
As for the conflict with the Human Clan, that would be a matter for the future.
Xu Fan didn't have to wait long for the Earth Spirit Spider's response.
"All right, I'll have a puppet send the Spiritual Mine to you," it read.
Seeing the message, Xu Fan couldn't help but sigh, after so many years, she was still so polite.
At this moment, Xu Fan looked at the young girl beside his good friend and suddenly remembered Sui Ying.
"Speaking of which, how is Ling Er getting along with Sui Ying?" Xu Fan asked.
"How could it be? It's been 1000 years, and Ling Er still hasn't warmed Sui Ying's heart," Wang Yulun said and scoffed at the situation.
"Good things take time. Just wait a bit longer," Xu Fan said with a smile.
Nine Phoenix Dynasty, Imperial Capital.
At this moment, Feng Changning was looking at the message in her hand, her face slightly somber.
"The Royal Master seeks an audience," a Nascent Soul Stage maid respectfully announced.
"Please have the National Teacher come over." Feng Changning gently put down the Jade Slip in her hand and said.
A young man entered the Great Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Great Elder of the Hidden Spirit Gate has woken up," the young man said.
"I know. I'm considering whether to prepare a generous gift to send over," Feng Changning said calmly.
"I'd like to send this gift to the Hidden Spirit Gate on Your Majesty's behalf," the young National Teacher said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Changning's pupils shrank.
"Why?"
"I want to meet the Great Elder," the National Teacher said calmly.
"Visiting the Great Elder at this time, isn't that the same as admitting defeat?" Feng Changning squinted at the young National Teacher.
She knew the National Teacher was not the type to admit defeat easily.
"Be it bowing my head or admitting defeat, all my schemes over these years have come to nothing in the end."
"So, I want to see for myself what an astonishing feat the Great Elder of the Hidden Spirit Gate has accomplished."
"Perhaps in the past, it was me who..."
Although the young National Teacher was unwilling to admit it, it was the truth.
Hearing the National Teacher's words, Feng Changning laughed.
"It's our Nine Phoenix Dynasty's great fortune that the National Teacher has such a mindset."
Feng Changning got up and went to the other side of the young National Teacher, offering thanks on behalf of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, there's no need for this," the young National Teacher said.
"The grudge between you and the Great Elder is a great tribulation in my heart. Now that the National Teacher is willing to go to the Hidden Spirit Gate, it's even more pleasing than the Nine Phoenix Dynasty expanding its territories," Feng Changning said.
"I'll have someone prepare the gifts immediately!"
One day later, a massive Starboat Fleet rose from the Imperial Capital of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty and headed towards the Vast Void Domain.
At this time, Xu Fan was lecturing 12 differently colored Spirit Turtles.
Over the past 1,000 years, the initial 12 offspring of the Python-head Giant Tortoise had all advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"You've had everything you've wanted for the past 1,000 years, so why is your progress so slow?" Xu Fan asked, looking at the twelve Spirit Turtles he had named.
"Grand Elder, these different types of Spirit Turtles grow very slowly. No amount of Spiritual Pills or medicines can change that," Lei Wenxi said from the side.
"But after trying so many Spiritual Pills and medicines, it's not without benefits. At the very least, their physical bodies are getting stronger."
"Perhaps when they finally advance to the Mahayana Stage, even the Invincible Demon Venerable won't be able to break their defenses."
Xu Fan tapped one of the crystal turtle shells as he spoke.
"Master, the National Teacher of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty is coming with a generous gift," Pu Tao's voice rang out.
Xu Fan, who was studying the 12 Spirit Turtles, paused and a smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting, what is he coming here for?" Xu Fan said with interest.
Some time ago, he had watched the recording of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty's National Teacher invading the Hidden Spirit Gate, which was captured by Pu Tao.
He couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for the National Teacher.
If it were any ordinary sect, they would have already been shattered by his invasion.
However, he had to face Xu Fan instead.
"Master, should we make any precautions?" Pu Tao asked.
"What precautions? Let him come however he wants. Can I still lose when facing the National Teacher head-on?" Xu Fan laughed, with a hint of anticipation in his expression.
Is he here to admit defeat? Or to admit defeat? Or admit defeat?
Xu Fan's ideal scenario was for the National Teacher to shout in front of him like a passionate teenager.
"Give me another 3,000 years, and I will make you look up at my back."
