At this moment, a breaking sound came from the sky.
A sword boat carrying more than 60 children flew towards the main peak.
“65 children, Brother Xu, doesn’t it seem like the difficulty of your test has decreased a bit?” Wang Yulun said as he looked at the children on the sword boat.
“It’s about quality, not quantity. After this group of core disciples grow up, we can recruit more. I’m already very satisfied with finding 65 children in a month.” Xu Fan said, thinking that he might not even be able to gather 50, he hadn’t expected so many children to pass the test.
After all, his test was not an ordinary difficulty.
Wang Xiangchi on the sword boat saw Xu Fan and the other in the dojo, immediately changed direction, and flew towards the dojo.
Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci both looked up at the main peak, their eyes brightened when they saw the beautiful buildings and the immortal Qi. It was very close to what they had imagined a sect and an immortal land to be.
The children on the sword boat, seeing the place that looked like an Immortal Realm, began to chatter excitedly about their future cultivation here.
“Wow, this is where immortals live.’
“Xiao Cui, when I become immortal, I’ll come back to marry you.” “Mom and dad, your son is going to be an immortal.”
“l want to cultivate immortality, and kill all demonic beasts.”
Li Xingci smiled when he saw the chattering children. The youngest of these children were as young as six, and the oldest were 14. They had all grown up by the lakeside.
They were the results of his visits to thousands of villages and towns over the course of more than a month; he believed that the achievements of the children who passed his master’s test would be quite good in the future.
The fifty-meter long sword boat slowly landed in the open-air Daoist area on top of the mountain.
“Master, we have recruited a total of 65 qualified disciples, 39 boys and 26 girls, including 2 Dual Spirit Roots, 21 Three Spiritual Roots, 36 Four Spiritual Roots, and 6 Five Spiritual Roots.” Li Xingci reported.
“You’ve worked hard. Go give these children to Xiao Xi, rest for a few days, then recruit the remaining 35.”
“Then our sect can be considered established.’
He decided to make the most of his disciples’ availability before they became too old to be pushed around, otherwise, in a few decades’ time, he would have to order his grand-disciples around.
“Yes, sir.”
After these 65 children met Grand Elder Xu, they were sent by Wang Xiangchi to the area specially built for outer disciples at the foot of the main peak.
As for the position of Sect Master, Xu Fan handed it over to the most resourceful Xu Yuexian among his Four Disciples. There was no other way, as the Eldest Brother was naive, Old Three was indifferent and focused only on the sword Dao, and Old Four was a person who loved to immerse himself in his own world.
Only Xu Yuexian was relatively normal, just a little more cautious and well-planned, without any major flaws.
Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci received the orders and did not rest, but instead headed straight towards the lakeside towns. Because now they could only recruit disciples in the area under their sect’s jurisdiction.
“What diligent good disciples they are.” Xu Fan said with satisfaction in his voice.
“Bullshit, you’ve hinted so obviously, only an idiot wouldn’t understand.” Wang Yulun said disdainfully.
“Hehe.’
At the bottom of the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Yuexian was exploring the Spiritual Mines in the depths of the lake using a special treasure vessel.
“Master really has a special treasure for everything. It’s not easy for ordinary cultivators to come down to these tens of thousands of meters deep in this lake.” Xu Yuexian muttered to herself.
This was her 30th day of underwater exploration, just a full month. She had searched all the waters around the giant island within this month. At the bottom of the lake, there were only some insignificant and unformed exotic treasures, and the rest were all Spirit Iron Mines, which were extremely easy to mine. But the premise was that one had to dive into the depths of the lake, a few tens of thousands of meters.
Although all of this was almost the same as described, Xu Yuexian was still not giving up. As a professional treasure hunter, she had her own judgment, feeling that there must be something extraordinary about this place.
Before coming here, she had already obtained records of this area from the
Elders Association. Sixty thousand years ago, a small-scale invasion of the Demon Clan occurred here, which was quickly suppressed. The reason recorded in the state record was that these demons were brought here by spatial turbulence.
The first place where this group of demons appeared was the
Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, so she judged that there must be weak points in space in this area, and there would definitely be exotic treasures or natural runes with spatial attributes near the weak points of space.
That was her goal, and she dared to bet on the honor of a treasure hunter that there must be treasures with spatial attributes here, but if there really were none, she couldn’t help it.
Xu Yuexian, who was lost in thought, suddenly slapped her forehead.
“Why don’t 1 ask Master to refine an artifact specifically for finding spatial attributes? That’s better than looking around blindly by myself.”
So Xu Yuexian turned around the submarine-like Treasure Vessel, and flew towards the surface of the lake.
“Your idea is not bad. This time 1 will make you a set of artifacts that can detect exotic treasures of all attributes.” Xu Fan said to Xu Yuexian.
“Thank you, Master.” Xu Yuexian said with a smile. Under normal circumstances, she often had the feeling that her master treated her as a friend, and his mastery only came out during preaching, and the rest of the time he was more like a friend or a close elder.
“Come and get it tomorrow, and I have to inform you of one more thing, from now on you will be the Sect Leader of our Hidden Spirit Sect.”
“As soon as one hundred disciples are assembled, you will take your position.” Xu Fan said, as if it were a very ordinary matter, he came up with the name of the sect just now.
Hidden Spirit Sect, which fits his low-key temperament.
“Why me?” Xu Yuexian was taken aback.
“Do you think your eldest brother can do it?” Xu Fan asked.
Without even thinking about it, Xu Yuexian began to shake her head. Her elder brother was good at fighting, but as for the rest, he should just study his divine abilities quietly.
“Can your Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Li?”
Xu Yuexian shook her head again.
“Uncle Master Wang can’t do it either.” Xu Yuexian suddenly thought of it. “In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, let’s forget it.”
“Alright.” Xu Yuexian didn’t ask any more nonsense about why her master didn’t do ite because she knew it would be useless if she did.
Then Xu Yuexian told Xu Fan about the situation at the bottom of the surrounding waters of the lake and continued her treasure-hunting business. She was idle in the sect anyway.
At the sandy beach of the giant island, it should now be called Hidden Spirit Island.
Xu Fan was refining a Treasure Artifact called the Heavenly Treasure-Seeking Compass, an artifact from the Rune Iron Plate, Xu Fan directly modified and strengthened it for refining. Refining this kind of artifact was now as easy as reaching out and capturing it for him.
While refining the artifact, Xu Fan also thought about how to deal with the Spirit Iron Mine at the bottom of the lake.
Since a sect had been established, it shouldn’t just live off the land. Although Xu Fan had accumulated a lot of family assets over the years, compared to those sects that had been established for hundreds of years, his assets were like a drop in the bucket.
Over the years, Xu Fan had exchanged half of his assets for the Sands of Space and Time, which was enough for him to reach the Golden Core Stage. However, after the Golden Core Stage, the Time Hut could no longer withstand Xu Fan’s consumption.
“So what if it’s all a Spirit Iron Mine, the most basic Spirit Mine in the Cultivation World, I can still make it valuable in my hands.”
“As for the Spirit Iron Mine at the bottom of the lake being difficult to mine, that’s not even an issue..
