Below the main peak of the Hidden Spirit Sect, in a secluded garden pavilion.
“Uncle Wang, what do you want to see me for?” Li Xingci looked at Wang
Yulun, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
“Xingci, actually, I am your father.”
Xu Fan, who was watching the live broadcast in the Time Hut, had just taken a sip of tea and immediately spat it out.
Are you serious with your first sentence? Xu Fan commented.
“l know, I’ve known since I grew up.”
“After all, the loving gaze of a father looking at his child cannot be faked,” Li Xingci sighed.
“Don’t you resent me?” Wang Yulun’s voice carried a hint of guilt. Although there was no right or wrong in this matter, he had let down a woman who had feelings for him and even had a child. He could not explain himself.
“l used to, but not anymore. You don’t owe me anything. You just let down my mother.” Li Xingci’s voice became lighter and lighter. Wang Yulun suddenly felt tired, and his sleepiness grew heavier and heavier until he finally fell face down on the table in the pavilion.
“Just give my mother back a complete life, and it will be enough to dispel my Heart Demon. After that, we will owe each other nothing.”
In the Reincarnation World, in this life, Wang Yulun joined the Thousand Cloud Sect, where there was also a low-key disciple named Xu Fan. At the same time, there was a female disciple named Li Wanxin who was blushing while sneaking glances at Wang Yulun.
As he watched the live broadcast, Xu Fan nodded and said, “Hmm, it’s almost as 1 expected. This matter is resolved, it’s just that dealing with the aftermath is a bit troublesome and requires some preparation.”
Li Xingci looked at Wang Yulun, who was immersed in the Reincarnation World, and looked up at the sky, saying, “Master, please send Uncle Wang home.’
Then he disappeared.
It didn’t take long for two Mountain Guard Puppets to support Wang Yulun, who was immersed in the Reincarnation World, and take him home.
Xu Fan came out of the Time Hut and took a Storage Bag of Spiritual Medicine from the Puppet guarding the Treasure House.
“Ah, I still have to clean up the mess.” Xu Fan sighed and stepped into the Alchemy Room.
The next day, Wang Yulun slowly opened his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the surroundings and slowly said, “Why did I wake up?”
At this point, a Nascent Soul Stage Mountain Guard Puppet walked up to Wang Yulun and handed him a bottle of Elixir.
“Master said that if you take the Forget-your-Troubles Pill, you will feel better,” Pu Tao’s voice sounded.
Before Wang Yulun could respond, the Puppet directly poured out a Spiritual
Pill and fed it to Wang Yulun, who then fainted again.
Inside the Time Hut, Xu Fan clapped his hands.
“The matter is resolved.’
Another night passed, and Wang Yulun woke up, touching his head uncertainly and looking around.
“l always feel like I have forgotten something very important.”
Half a month later, Wang Xiangchi returned with Murong Qian’er.
Seeing that everything was normal in the Sect, Xu Fan officially began closed-door cultivation, not to come out until he reached the Golden Core Stage.
Before closing the door for the last meal, Xu Fan called all the disciples and elders of the Sect.
“Pavilion Master Pang, you can directly get the ordered puppets from the Treasure House in the future, and everything else remains as usual.”
“Yu Lun, 1 hope you have advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage by the time I leave seclusion next.’
“Elder Sha, you can take all the disciples you want, without any restrictions.
I’m not worried about you usurping power.”
“Xu Gang, spend time with your children and Xiao Xi while cultivating.”
“Moon Immortal, you can go out and enjoy yourself in these few years, but after 14 years, you must stay in the sect and wait for news about the Demon Clan.’
“Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci, if you are still at the Golden Core Stage when I
leave seclusion, you know the consequences.”
“Kai Ling and Xuan Dao, just focus on your cultivation.”
After giving instructions to everyone, Xu Fan stepped into the Time Hut.
As the door of the Time Hut closed tightly, everyone felt a sense of loss, but life had to go on as usual.
In the fifth year of Xu Fan’s closed-door cultivation, Xiong Li advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage and became the first disciple of the Hidden Spirit Sect to do so.
In the following years, the earliest disciples began to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage one after another.
In the eighth year of Xu Fan’s seclusion, Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. In the same year, the Elders Association officially announced that the Human Realm and the Demon World would begin to merge in 5 years. They asked the major sects to start deploying defenses in their areas to protect the secular world from the intrusion of the Demon Clan.
A large cave appeared halfway up a mountain peak in the Hidden Spirit Sect, and spiritual boats loaded with puppets made of Spirit Iron for Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage flew towards the land.
The spiritual boats were made of ordinary Spirit Iron, each a hundred meters long, carrying thousands of puppets on board.
At least tens of thousands of such spiritual boats flew out of the cave halfway up the mountain, each seemingly set on a predetermined location, advancing towards their destination on their own.
Xu Lingtai, who had grown up, looked at the sky-covering spiritual boats and the puppets on them, and said in amazement to Xu Gang beside him, “Dad, did Master Ancestor refine all these puppets?”
“You could say that. Your Master Ancestor refined a puppet that can help him refine other puppets. That puppet can also refine puppets, so that’s why there are so many puppets,” Xu Gang said. He had been to the underground space and roughly understood the situation.
Xiong Li, who was currently cultivating on the top of a mountain peak, watched the sky full of spirit boats and puppets, with his fists clenched, silently vowing to become stronger as he felt weak for not having a mission, instead relying on these puppets.
Xu Fan in the Time Hut watched the scene of puppets being transported on spiritual boats out of the mountain. He laughed and said, “The spiritual boats and puppets made of Spirit Iron are finally being put to good use.”
“The remaining half of the inventory will be kept as cannon fodder.”
Compared to the production line in the underground space, there is an even more massive Spirit Iron processing base under the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.
However, Xu Fan has always left that place to Pu Tao’s discretion, only requiring puppets and their accompanying spiritual boats. At least half of the spiritual liquid in the lake under the Spiritual Liquid Waterfall is consumed by
Pu Tao here.
Puppets made of Spirit Iron can only have a combat power of the Golden Core Stage at most due to their characteristics, but that’s enough.
In the evening, spiritual boats slowly landed at the predetermined locations in the territory governed by the Hidden Spirit Sect, and slowly submerged underground, waiting for the Demon Clan to attack.
In the tenth year after Xu Fan’s seclusion, Wang Yulun advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, and Xiao Xi advanced to the Golden Core Stage with the help of the Road of Krypton Gold.
Lei Wenxi, who was taken as a disciple by Elder Sha, successfully refined her first Treasure Artifact. With that, the Hidden Spirit Sect had its third Artifact Refiner, and Lei Wenxi’s sister Lei Wenxi went further and further on the path of nurturing mutant spiritual beasts.
In the twelfth year of Xu Fan’s seclusion, Xu Yuexian, covered in blood and clutching a broken arm, escaped back to the sect.
With just a breath left in her, Xu Yuexian was saved by a drop of Wood Origin
Essence, and a Mountain Guard Puppet brought top- grade Sacred Healing Medicine to her. Xu Fan’s Shadow, an Avatar, also emerged from the Time Hut to inquire about the cause of Xu Yuexian’s injuries.
Soon after, ten teams of Nascent Soul Stage elite puppets, led by a special Nascent Soul puppet controlled by Xu Fan, boarded a top- grade spiritual boat and took off from the Hidden Spirit Sect, flying towards Linsen Immortal
