Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Humanized Taxation
Translator: 549690339
After half a year of setbacks and detours, the stupidly struggling Sha finally arrived at Linsen Immortal City.
Standing by the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Sha sighed with emotion,
“It wasn’t easy, but we finally made it to our destination.”
“Junior Brother Xu’s Sect is built right on top of this Giant Lake?”
For the past six months, Sha had been traveling and visiting various places on his way to Linsen Immortal City. During this time, he took a few wrong turns and ran into some small Sects that tried to force him to stay, after all, he’s a top-tier Artifact Refiner.
But in the end, his wit helped him evade them.
At this moment, a Spirit Boat quickly flew from the sky and landed next to Sha.
“You must be Elder Sha. Elder Xu asked me to pick you up. Please get on the Spirit Boat,” Lei Wenxi said.
Without much thought, Sha stepped onto the Spirit Boat.
Looking at the vast lake, Sha asked, “There must be many Demonic Beasts in the lake, right? How does your Sect deal with them?”
“We don’t need to fight them. The Demonic Beasts in the lake have all been subdued by Turtle Mother,” Lei Wenxi said with a smile. The entire
Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake had become the back garden of Hidden Spirit Sect, and as for the Demonic Beasts, they were merely ingredients.
“Who is Turtle Mother?”
“She’s a God Transformation Stage Flood Dragon Turtle. Since we have her children in our custody, she’s now our Hidden Spirit Sect’s guardian beast.”
“She also has a small red flower on her head, which looks very cute. Her children now serve as part of the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Gate Protection Formation. There are twelve in total.’
“Many Senior Brothers like to catch Demonic Beasts in the lake to feed the little turtles.’
Lei Wenxi rarely encountered strangers, so she began to provide detailed information about the Hidden Spirit Sect to Sha.
Sha looked at the chattering girl and couldn’t help laughing, feeling a sense of warmth in this Sect.
Half an hour later, Lei Wenxi said to Sha, “Elder Sha, we’re about to enter the Hidden Spirit Sect. It’s best not to breathe before entering.”
“Why?” Sha asked with confusion.
“You might get choked.”
At that moment, the Spirit Boat broke through a layer of light membrane and disappeared.
The scenery before Sha’s eyes changed in an instant. From a vast, boundless lake to an Immortal Palace garden in a blink of an eye.
“I……..”
He almost couldn’t catch his breath, the density of Spiritual Qi in the air was somewhat excessive.
Seeing Sha getting choked, Lei Wenxi squinted and laughed, “Elder Sha will get used to it eventually.”
After recovering, Sha was amazed by the fairyland-like scene before him.
“Is this the Sect that Junior Brother Xu established? It’s really ….. …. ” Sha didn’t even know how to describe it.
The Spiritual Qi environment here was several levels higher than that of the Inner Sect world of Heavenly Gate.
Then, the Spiritual Qi waterfall caught Sha’s attention in the distance, and he asked, “Is the waterfall composed of Spiritual Liquid?”
“Yes, this is because the Sect’s Circulating Gathering Spirits Array condenses too much Spiritual Qi, and it flows down in this manner,” Lei Wenxi proudly said. This waterfall was the most common place for indoor disciples to visit.
“To achieve this effect for this level Gathering Spirits Array, there must be at least a Treasure Artifact of Fifth-grade and no less than a hundred pieces.”
“And this Gate Protection Formation is truly magnificent. I wonder how Junior
Brother Xu was able to build such an enormous project in just over ten years.”
At this moment, Sha was eager to see Xu Fan as soon as possible; he had many things to discuss with him.
The Spirit Boat slowly descended above Xu Fan’s small courtyard.
“Senior Brother Sha, long time no see.” Xu Fan said happily.
He felt that among the friends he knew, Senior Brother Sha was the most pure-hearted person, obsessed with the Refining Path, righteous, and extremely helpful to friends. Plus, with that name…
He could have no bad intentions.
“Nice to see you, Senior Brother Sha,” Wang Yulun and his wife said warmly.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Sha.” Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci saluted as well.
“It’s so nice to see my old fellow sect members again,” Sha Diao said with a smile.
“We’re hosting a banquet today in Hidden Spirit Sect in celebration of Senior Brother Sha joining us,” Xu Fan happily informed them.
Five Nascent Soul Stage Mountain Guard Puppets flew out of the Gate Protection Formation and plunged into the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, searching for ingredients.
In the evening, all the disciples in Hidden Spirit Sect’s Great Dining Hall enjoyed a feast, while getting familiar with the new Elder.
After that, Hidden Spirit Sect gained another Fairy Instruments Peak, which was ultimately what Sha Diao had been pursuing.
In Xu Fan’s small courtyard that night, Xu Fan chatted with Sha Diao. Sha Diao’s Immortal Tools Peak was currently under construction, so it could only be temporarily stationed in Xu Fan’s small courtyard.
“Elder Xu, how did you build such a magnificent sect? All through puppets?” Sha Diao asked seriously.
At this moment, Xu Fan did not waste any words, directly summoning the
Puppet Heart, and introduced the concept of artificial intelligence to Sha Diao.
Upon hearing about Xu Fan’s artificial intelligence concept, Sha Diao was completely astonished.
“The Sect’s Grand Formation and the buildings within are all built by you using artificial intelligence to control puppets?” Sha Diao said incredulously.
“Not just that, but also the production lines for magical treasures and spiritual pills,” Xu Fan replied.
At that moment, Sha Diao opened the door to a new world. Then, Xu Fan granted Sha Diao some of Little Red’s permissions.
“If you have any questions in the future, you can just ask Little Red,” Xu Fan said.
“Alright,” Sha Diao said eagerly, wanting to study all of the magical treasures Xu Fan had refined.
“Junior Brother Xu, I did not misread you back then. Your path in Artifact
Refining is now far better than mine.”
“l hope Elder Xu will give me more guidance later.”
“Master Sha, you are too polite. I will certainly share my knowledge,” Xu Fan and Sha Diao chatted until very late.
The next day, Xu Fan brought Yu Nan and Zhou Kailing back to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“Yu Nan, your task from now on is to cultivate well within the Sect.”
“Kailing, same goes for you. I believe it won’t be long before the Cultivation World undergoes a major change, When that time comes, it is best to have a higher cultivation level,” Xu Fan advised.
At this time, across the entire Cultivation World, news began to spread about the merging of the two realms and the invasion of the Demon Clan attacking the Central State Continent.
Xu Fan also received an official message from the Elders Association. The content stated: “The fusion of the two realms has already begun. At the fastest, it will take 15 years, at the slowest, 20 years. The realms will rapidly merge.”
During the initial period of battle, it will only take place in the Vast Void
Domain. In the later stages, when the two realms’ spaces connect, the Demon Clan will be able to teleport here, and the Human Clan will also be able to teleport to the Demon World.
From the day the two realms begin to contact and merge, the Elders Association will abolish the annual taxes on all major sects, allowing them to protect the civilians in their areas, maintaining their immortal foundation.
“The policy is quite humane,” Xu Fan laughed.
However, the policy at the end of the day reminded him that the area covered by the Hidden Spirit Sect was almost equivalent to the combination of the
Flower Family and the Bear Family from his past life. In the past, the major issue was the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake and its demonic beasts. In
the future, there will be the Demon Clan. The number of disciples in the Hidden Spirit Sect is clearly not enough, so it looks like the Puppet Corps will need to be increased..
