Just as the two Integration Stage cultivators were about to explore the
Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, sea waves churned not far away, and a God Transformation Stage python-head giant tortoise carrying a palace on its back emerged from the lake bottom.
The python-head giant tortoise had an unusual little red flower on its head, which was particularly conspicuous.
“Welcome, two seniors.” Xu Fan’s voice came.
This was Xu Fan’s idea. For safety’s sake, it was better to meet them outside with the things he had in the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Xu Fan’s figure appeared at the entrance of the palace on the back of the python-headed giant tortoise.
“Excuse me, is Zhang Han’s Master here?” said a green-robed middle-aged Integration Stage cultivator, looking at Xu Fan at the Foundation Establishment Stage as if he were a gatekeeper.
Shit, 1 must research a divine ability specifically to disguise my cultivation level, this is Xu Fan’s most pressing idea now.
“l am Zhang Han and Zhang Meimei’s Master.”
“Please join me in the palace, two seniors,” said Xu Fan.
The two Integration Stage cultivators exchanged glances, and both saw surprise in each other’s eyes. A Nascent Soul Stage disciple, with a Foundation Establishment Stage Master?
Then, the two exchanged thoughts via divine sense. If this was a Creator Master, it seemed to make sense.
Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, even those with dull talents, could achieve something through acquired training, but only if they had money.
However, Creator Masters were destined from birth, favored by the Great Dao, just as fish were naturally gifted in swimming.
But when it comes to cultivation, the Heavenly Dao is lacking, and most Creator Masters have Four or Five Spiritual Roots, making it difficult for them to advance in the early stages.
In the Turtle Origin Palace, Xu Fan invited the two Integration Stage cultivators to sit down.
“What brings the two seniors to this junior?” said Xu Fan.
“Zhang Han defeated our Thousand Spirit Sect genius in a sparring match, and we saw that the divine abilities he used were quite unique, so we wanted to visit the Creator Master behind Zhang Han,” said one of the Integration Stage cultivators.
“Your juniors’ divine abilities have made two seniors laugh.”
“My juniors’ divine secret techniques were all found in a set of ruins.”
“If the two seniors are interested, I can lend them to you to have a look.”
As Xu Fan spoke, he took out several Jade Slips and placed them on the table.
At this moment, a humanoid puppet came forward to bring tea utensils and began to brew tea.
At this moment, the two Integration Stage cultivators felt a bit embarrassed, feeling as if they were here to rob.
“l have a question – both of your disciples are in Nascent Soul Stage, why are you still in Foundation Establishment Stage?”
At this point, the other Integration Stage cultivator had already discovered the extraordinary aspect of Xu Fan.
Normally, to the eyes of Integration Stage cultivators, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would only have a group of liquid spiritual qi in their dantian that was about to condense into an actual substance.
But in the eyes of the two Integration Stage cultivators, Xu Fan’s dantian was like a massive Ten Thousand Mile Huge Lake.
Moreover, above the dantian, there were many Daoist oddities.
Is this a Foundation Establishment Stage? This huge accumulation could even make a Nascent Soul cultivator feel inferior.
“l took my two disciples in when they were young, and 1 didn’t expect them to advance to Nascent Soul Stage in just a hundred years.”
“l have no choice.” Xu Fan said helplessly, genuinely helpless, he didn’t want it to be like this.
“We two came here for two reasons. One is to visit the Creator Master who created the divine abilities of your noble disciples.”
“The second is to discuss with Zhang Han’s Master on how to educate disciples.” The green-robed cultivator at the Integration Stage said with a smile.
Integration Stage cultivators are all cunning old foxes that have lived for thousands of years. The young man in front of them should be the Creator Master they are looking for without much surprise.
However, judging by the current situation, the Creator Master in front of them obviously didn’t want to expose his identity, so he used the excuse of the ruins.
Before coming here, they had already obtained the battle footage of one of their targets, Zhang Meimei.
It might be luck to obtain a suitable set of cultivation techniques and divine abilities for one’s disciple, but it would be a stretch to stumble upon a second set.
“It seems that the Creator Master the seniors are looking for can’t be found, but I can share with the two seniors the method of teaching disciples,” Xu Fan said with a smile, as it seemed impossible to fool these two big shots with his lies.
“I’m an Artifact Refiner who specializes in puppet refining, so I often refine high-combat-power puppets of the same level to fight against my disciples.”
“After each victory, I would refine an even stronger puppet for my disciple to continue challenging.”
Xu Fan summoned a Foundation Establishment Stage challenge puppet, allowing the two Integration Stage cultivators to examine it.
“What kind of combat power can a Foundation Establishment Stage puppet have?” Another Integration Stage cultivator looked at the puppet with doubt. In his mind, puppets had no spiritual intelligence. Unless there was a cultivator who specialized in controlling puppets, their combat power would be inferior to that of spiritual beasts at the same level.
“You can find a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator or a spiritual beast to give it a try,” Xu Fan made a gesture of invitation.
“Fine, let’s try it.”
The Integration Stage cultivator waved his hand, and a Foundation
Establishment Stage rock-armored demonic beast appeared in front of them. Standing as tall as three meters tall, its humanoid burly body was quite oppressive, but it was of no use to the three individuals.
“This is a laborer I keep in my fields. It’s quite powerful at the Foundation Establishment level. You can give it a try.”
“l guess your puppet can’t break the defense of the rock-armored demonic beast.’
Without saying a word, Xu Fan waved his hand, and the entire Guest Reception Room transformed into a spacious dojo.
“This Treasure Palace of yours is quite mysterious. It looks like the work of a renowned master,” said the middle-aged cultivator in the green robe.
“This is the place I have refined for my own residence. I apologize for the lack of sophistication in front of seniors.”
Once the puppet and the rock-armored demonic beast entered the field, the battle began under the witness of the three people.
The challenge puppet that Xu Fan took out was the most common type, but it was well-rounded in all attributes.
As soon as the battle started, the rock-armored demonic beast swung its fists, which were as large as iron pots, at the challenge puppet.
The following fight rekindled the two Integration Stage cultivators’ passion for battles from their early days.
Below, the battle was like a lumbering brute facing a veteran warrior. Even with countless moves, the brute couldn’t touch the puppet once.
When the puppet realized it couldn’t break through the beast’s defense, it quickly changed its strategy and began to repeatedly attack the beast’s core location.
After five punches, the puppet’s fists sparkled with spiritual light, and it delivered two consecutive heavy blows, shattering the core of the rock-armored demonic beast.
The battle was over, and the two Integration Stage cultivators looked at the shattered rocks on the ground, speechless for a long time.
They still had basic discernment and could tell that this Foundation
Establishment Stage combat puppet could easily defeat nearly half of their Thousand Spirit Sect’s Foundation Establishment disciples.
“My name is Zhong Yu, and I am an elder of the Task Peak in the Thousand Spirit Sect.” This was the middle-aged green-robed Integration Stage cultivator.
“My name is Xiang Heng, and I am an elder of the World of Treasures in the Thousand Spirit Sect.” This was his subordinate.
“Greetings, Elder Zhong Yu, and Elder Xiang Heng, I am junior Xu Fan,” Xu Fan quickly saluted, his true name revealed to show sincerity as it popped into his mind that this combination looked very familiar. Were they here for a major purchase?
Xu Fan wondered if there was someone operating the puppet behind the scenes. Otherwise, an ordinary puppet wouldn’t have such combat skills. At this moment, the two Integration Stage seniors had become big spenders in Xu Fan’s eyes.
Subsequently, the nightmares of the Thousand Spirit Sect’s disciples below the God Transformation Stage began..
