Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Recruiting Disciples

The underground space of Hidden Spirit Island now occupies almost half the underground area of the island.
“It’s taken many years of hard work, and I never expected that the Demon
Clan would come before it was completely formed.”
“Before the Demons arrive, I should be able to advance to the Golden Core stage, which should be enough for ordinary Demons.” Xu Fan said, looking at the puppet production line in front of him.
“Master, are you sure you want to initiate the Golden Core Stage combat puppet production line?” Pu Tao’s electronic voice sounded.
“The original cost of Golden Core Stage puppets was 800,000 Spirit Stones.
Now that news of the Demon Clan has spread out, the price may be even higher.”
“Start it. It’s necessary to plan ahead since we still have to defend the secular areas later. I can’t be a savior, but I have to take care of my own small piece of land.” Xu Fan said.
In his heart, he sighed. He actually had a higher-level Nascent Soul Stage puppet production line, but couldn’t bear to activate it. The cost of a Type One Nascent Soul Stage combat puppet was 4 million Spirit Stones, not to mention those special puppets.
Xu Fan’s puppet army had a very professional division of labor, with dedicated close combat Heavy Armor Puppets, Cunning Sting Puppets, and Main C Puppets.
Responsible for long range attacks were giant gun puppets, Five Elements Technique puppets, and bow and arrow puppets.
Each puppet was a high-quality piece that could be placed on the outside market.
“Fortunately, I have a habit of hoarding Spirit Ore and Spirit Material, otherwise, initiating this Golden Core Stage puppet production line would not
uc cab)’.
As the Golden Core Stage puppet production line started, hundreds of material warehouses and refining furnaces began to light up with spirit light. The puppets responsible for assisting production hammered the raw materials that had just emerged from the refining furnace. The puppets responsible for shaping in the distance had their eyes lit up with spiritual light.
Xu Fan looked at the huge puppet production line with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, this scene brought deep pleasure to his soul.
“This is the charm of industrialization.’
Xu Fan said proudly, but unfortunately, this was his deepest secret. Those who could share it wouldn’t understand it, and those who couldn’t be shared with also couldn’t be told.
“After Elder Sha’s inspection period is over, I’ll bring him in. Such an amazing thing can’t go without someone to show off to.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
‘Din%
Xu Fan’s communication talisman rang, and it was Pang Fu returning to the sect to meet with him.
In a pavilion on the Main Peak, Xu Fan and Pang Fu sat facing each other, drinking tea.
“Elder Xu, the orders for Spirit Power Armor and Treasure Vessels are now exploding, and I have tactfully refused them all under the pretext of consultation.’
“Now on the entire Central Continent, Spirit Ore, Spirit Material, Spiritual Pills, and Magical Treasures-related to combat are all starting to rise in price.”
“What are our Chamber of Commerce’s future plans?” Pang Fu asked.
“Continue to accept orders according to our inventory, but we can’t stop earning Spirit Stones so we have to raise the price.” Xu Fan said.
“The other Chambers of Commerce have said that they can accept the price increase of up to half of the original price.” Pang Fu said, clearly having done his work in advance.
“How many Spirit Stones does a Golden Core Stage combat puppet cost?” Xu Fan suddenly asked.
“Between 1.5 million and 2 million. If it’s a high-quality puppet, it can be priced above 2.5 million Spirit Stones.” Pang Fu replied. This was the latest market price; in the entire Cultivation World market, anything remotely in bulk had its price in his heart.
“How much does a Nascent Soul Stage puppet cost?” Xu Fan’s eyes glittered, as it seemed that puppets’ profits were higher than Spirit Power Armor’s.
“From 5 million to 10 million Spirit Stones. Right now, as soon as they appear on the market, they can be instantly sold.” Pang Fu also had a gleam in his eye as he spoke.
At this moment, a jade slip appeared in Xu Fan’s hand, with a list of the Spirit Ore and Spirit Material exotic treasures needed for various Nascent Soul Stage puppets.
Six Nascent Soul Stage puppets of different models also appeared beside him.
Xu Fan didn’t let Pu Tao take control, and they were currently in a semi-automatic state.
“This is a detailed list of the materials needed for each model and their combat capabilities.” Xu Fan finished speaking and pointed to the puppets behind him: “These are the samples. We can produce 100 puppets of each type every month, with a cost between 4 million and 5 million Spirit Stones.”
“I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“The future of our Hidden Spirit Sect’s Puppet Army depends on you,” said Xu
Fan.
At this moment, Pang Fu became excited as he looked at the six puppets behind Xu Fan.
With these sample puppets to negotiate cooperation with other chambers of commerce, he would be a bigshot. At that time, if the tea served to him was worth less than 100,000 Spirit Stones per tael, it would mean they looked down on him.
“Elder Xu, please rest assured and leave it to me. I guarantee that every puppet will be worth more than 10 million Spirit Stones,” said Pang Fu.
“By the time the Demon Clan invades, our Hidden Spirit Sect will have a Nascent Soul Puppet army of at least 100,000!” said Pang Fu excitedly, his confidence in the future development of the sect growing even stronger.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Pavilion Master Pang,” Xu Fan said solemnly. “It’s no trouble at all, it’s an honor to serve the sect!”
His generous and impassioned voice echoed throughout the Main Peak.
Xu Fan looked at Pang Fu, who was hastily returning to the Immortal City Chamber of Commerce, and nodded. Before he ascended to immortality, he must take this kid to the Immortal World, even if it meant sneaking him in through illegal channels.
Now only Xu Fan was left in the pavilion, and there was still some warmth in the tea.
As he drank the tea and looked at the sparse disciples below the Main Peak, Xu Fan suddenly felt that there were too few disciples in the sect. In the past, there were no enemies or threats from the demonic beasts, so a small number of disciples could be cultivated slowly, just like raising a black tortoise. But the future threats from the Demon Clan meant that the current number of disciples was obviously not enough. Should they recruit more disciples? After all, it would only consume more resources, which was negligible compared to the benefits.
With that in mind. Xu Fan immediately asked Pu Tao to call Li Xingci over.
At this moment, a breeze blew, and a figure appeared in front of Xu Fan.
“Master, my original body will be right there,” said the figure of Li Xingci.
“Six Desires Avatar, it seems your progress in the sect has been substantial,” praised Xu Fan.
With a smile, Xu Fan removed all of his defenses and reached for Li Xingci’s arm.
Surprised, he felt flesh.
“You’ve been hiding your skill quite well,” Xu Fan said in amazement. The ability was part of the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, and he didn’t expect his disciple to have already cultivated it to the stage of minor success.
“All thanks to your excellent teaching, Master,” Li Xingci said with a smile. “…You’re at least a bit better than your Third Senior Brother,” Xu Fan thought.
At this time, Li Xingci’s original body replaced the avatar.
“Master,” greeted Li Xingci.
“Did you see the news about the Demon Clan?” Xu Fan asked.
“Yes, I know. The Human and Demon Realms will merge in 15 years,” said Li Xingci, nodding.
“Before, our Hidden Spirit Sect didn’t have any natural enemies, so we could just develop at a leisurely pace. But now, the Demon Clan is coming, and our current number of disciples seems a bit insufficient.”
“So, I plan to recruit 2,000 new disciples. This arduous task, I entrust to you.” Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Li Xingci’s face turned bitter.
“Master, if this batch of recruited disciples is still to be selected according to your standards, I’ll need three years,” Li Xingci said.
“No need for that. You can directly hold a Celestial Recruitment Conference in the mortal world.’
“We used to be low-key, but now that the Demon Clan is almost here, we can’t be so cautious.’
“You can choose a few disciples to assist you. Take the Tokens issued to our Hidden Spirit Sect by the Elders Association, and the local officials will fully assist you when needed..”
