Chapter 812: Chapter 785: Small Animals
Xu Fan couldn't believe it, he actually talked with a turtle for a whole day and night.
The Tianji Turtle told many little secrets that Pu Tao couldn't detect on the Hidden Spirit Island.
For example, that pair of Vegetable Spirit Rabbits secretly gave birth to three litters and sent their children under their siblings' names.
And Xu Fan's Old Third, he was recently feeling sentimental, missing the woman whom he wanted to spend his life with.
Also, his good grand-disciple surprisingly couldn't beat his own wife.
Xu Fan found these unknown past events very interesting, and from time to time, he would chat and joke with Tianji Turtle.
If it wasn't for Xiong Li's appearance, they could talk for much longer.
"Very good, very good. With your body being able to withstand Ten Thousand Miles of Thunder Tribulation, your body refining realm can definitely be ranked in the top hundred in the entire Cultivation World," Xu Fan praised Xiong Li while looking at him.
However, after hearing Xu Fan's words, Xiong Li immediately knelt down and said with shame, "With such a huge consumption of Sect resources behind me, Xiong Li can only be ranked in the top hundred realms, which is a disgrace to the Great Elder."
A gentle force lifted Xiong Li up.
"Don't belittle yourself; the Cultivation World is vast and full of strong ones. There are many divine and sacred bodies too. Ranking in the top hundred is already very impressive."
"Our sect emphasizes accumulating knowledge slowly then quickly releasing it when needed. Moreover, the sect will need you later on, so focus on your cultivation in peace," Xu Fan comforted Xiong Li.
Do the disciples of Hidden Spirit Sect consume a lot of resources?
In Xu Fan's view, not at all, in fact, they were even somewhat foolish.
If you consider the current accumulation of Hidden Spirit Sect, it could easily accommodate an additional million disciples.
"You can go to the Scripture Pavilion in a few days to receive a new set of Five Elements Body Refining Arts."
While deducing and modifying the Five Elements Art, Xu Fan also synchronized the Five Elements Body Refining Art.
With similar origins, transforming it into a body refining technique would take only a few hours.
"Thank you, Great Elder." Xiong Li bowed and said.
Seeing Xiong Li's expression, Xu Fan felt that he still had something to say.
"Just say it." Xu Fan spoke.
"Great Elder, I feel that our sect has too few disciples who practice body refining. In case a large-scale battle occurs in the future, relying solely on puppets might not be very convenient," Xiong Li thought and said.
Pu Tao was about to speak, but Xu Fan stopped her from doing so.
"You want the fourth-generation disciples to have more body refining experts." Xu Fan asked.
Xiong Li quickly nodded, indicating that was exactly what he meant.
Xu Fan felt that Xiong Li's words were reasonable, so he reached out and grabbed a little Iron-Eating Beast from the void, which was hugging a bamboo shoot and nibbling away.
Upon seeing its surroundings change, the little Iron-Eating Beast looked around with some confusion.
When it saw Xu Fan, its eyes instantly warmed up.
"This is an Iron-Eating Beast?"
"Not only is this an Iron-Eating Beast, but it's also your Junior Fellow. From now on, I will let the Iron Beast Clan among the fourth-generation disciples specialize in body refining, as they are born body refining experts."
"Great Elder, can there be more? I think 10,000 body refining disciples should be enough for our sect."
"10,000..." Xu Fan stroked his chin and pondered.
If a large-scale battle were truly to take place in the future, it would likely be within the Immortal Realm.
At this time, having tanks at the frontline would be very important.
"Pu Tao, can you quickly screen children with body refining talent by using the Hidden Spirit Sect test?" Xu Fan asked.
"Yes, with the aid of Demon Suppression Star, Pu Tao can screen within a day suitable children within the range of an Immortal City," answered Pu Tao, which made Xiong Li happy. After so many years, would his body refining lineage finally grow in number?
"Start screening from Linsen Immortal City, recruiting 20,000 qualified Body Refining disciples," Xu Fan ordered.
He planned to have at least one Body Refining disciple in each team, whether it was group or small team battles.
"Xiong Li, your suggestion is good. Sooner or later, our Sect will fight with the major powers in the Immortal World after entering it. Having a considerable number of strong Body Refiners is crucial," he said.
"Go to the Treasure House to receive ten jars of Sacred Bone Wine as a reward for you."
"Thank you, Great Master!"
Xiong Li was slightly surprised as other rewards wouldn't have excited him this much.
But the Sacred Bone Wine was irresistible to him.
No Body Refining expert could resist the temptation of Sacred Bone Wine.
After drinking a jar of Sacred Bone Wine, it could save him two or three years of painstaking Body Refining and improve his physical strength.
"Go on, but remember not to drive the Spirit Boat after you finish drinking the wine," Xu Fan jokingly said.
"You go back too, remember not to be greedy." Xu Fan smiled and sent the little Iron-Eating Beast in his arms back.
At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly received a message from Ming Kong.
It said that a crazy woman in a red dress suddenly appeared, insisting on taking the Pure-blooded Qilin from the Elders Association as her mount.
"I knew something would happen." Xu Fan casually sent an Avatar stepping through the Void to the location where Ming Kong was.
"Red Lotus Venerable, the Pure-blooded Qilin is the sacred beast guarding our Elders Association. It truly cannot be your mount," Ming Kong said somewhat helplessly.
He had thought that the Great Master was already amazing enough to easily suppress the Purple Jade Jiaolong and Gold-devouring Tiger.
He didn't expect such a short time had passed, another powerhouse that could rival the Great Master would appear.
In the sky, a red lotus bloomed, pressing down on more than a dozen high-ranking Elders who couldn't lift their heads.
Even the Pure-blooded Qilin, which was equal to him, was almost lying on the ground.
"Fellow, your forced trading is a bit too much," Xu Fan's Avatar appeared and casually dispersed the blooming red lotus in the sky.
"This is not forced trading. I want to exchange ten Immortal Tools for this Pure-blooded Qilin. Isn't that okay?" The Red Lotus Venerable withdrew her momentum and smiled.
There was a hint of regret in her tone.
"If this is not forced trading, then I think the origin of your little white is pretty good. I also want to exchange ten Immortal Tools for half of it. What do you say?" Xu Fan said with a smile, and he was serious about it.
"Haha, I was just kidding. I really like this Pure-blooded Qilin, but if you don't want to, then forget it."
Upon hearing Red Lotus Venerable's words, the Elders Association and the Pure-blooded Qilin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fellow, I've had enough of this world, so I'm going back now." Red Lotus Venerable said, wanting to break through the Void and return to Hidden Spirit Island and then back to the South Mountain World.
"Fellow, before you go, return those little animals you caught. They were all raised by me over there. It's not right for you to just take them away," Xu Fan squinted and said.
After coming to the Demon World, Red Lotus Venerable had caught half of the top Invincible Monster Venerables from the Demon Clan.
If it were before, it would be fine, but now Xu Fan considered them the Human Clan's prey.
Because every Invincible Monster Venerable was a huge treasure.
"I have to take some special products back," Red Lotus Venerable began to play tricks.
"You can keep three of those little animals, and return the rest, including their Hollow Bones," Xu Fan said.
Seeing Xu Fan's expression, Red Lotus Venerable knew there was no room for negotiation, so she released all the little animals she had caught.
When the Elders Association saw these little animals, they were all shocked.
