The siblings both showed excited expressions, thinking that their Master was so powerful, he would definitely become an Invincible Venerable someday.
However, Xu Fan was thinking that while his disciples hadn’t surpassed him in cultivation level yet, he should seize the opportunity to pretend to be cool, or else he would miss out in the future.
“Master, if we have the chance, let’s try to take on a Nascent Soul Period monster.” Xu Gang said excitedly, looking forward to learning this technique himself. He decided to put the Nuclear Explosion Technique aside for now and focus on learning this one.
‘Smack!’
A smack to the head left Xu Gang clutching his head in pain for quite a while.
“You’ve forgotten what I taught you.” Xu Fan said seriously, this kid was getting a bit carried away.
“On the Path of Cultivation, stability comes first.” Xu Gang replied while clutching his head, almost forgetting his Master’s principle of cultivation.
At this time, the Puppet Heart behind Xu Fan sounded an alarm.
“A high-speed demonic beast that can’t be surrounded is rapidly approaching.” Before the Puppet Heart could finish speaking, a black-shaped demonic beast appeared in the distance, rushing towards the trio.
The Treasure-seeking Fox wrapped around Xu Yuexian’s neck suddenly let out a terrified squeak. If it hadn’t been for the Beast-controlling Ring, it would have probably run away long ago.
Xu Fan looked at the expressions on the siblings faces changing from slight tension to calm after glancing at him.
At this point, the Golden Core Monster could be clearly seen. It was an eight-meter-long black giant tiger with bloodthirsty eyes that made the siblings’ legs tremble a little. However, their eyes remained firmly fixed on the giant tiger monster as it approached.
A hint of approval flashed in Xu Fan’s eyes, at least they had the courage to stand their ground.
Touching his Space Ring lightly, ten Electromagnetic No.l Spears appeared in the air, their tips all aimed at the approaching giant tiger.
“Today, I’ll teach you how to block an enemy’s movement.” Xu Fan said to his disciples.
‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’
Thunder rolled in the sky as three Electromagnetic Long Spears rapidly shot at the giant tiger.
The black Golden Core giant tiger looked disdainfully at the three approaching Electromagnetic Long Spears. They were fast, but useless.
The black Golden Core giant tiger quickly changed direction mid-air and managed to dodge the three flying spears by using the ground as leverage.
Just as the giant tiger landed…
‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’
Another three loud noises filled the sky as three Electromagnetic Long Spears completely sealed off all the space around the Golden Core giant tiger.
‘Roar!!’
With a huge roar, the black Golden Core giant tiger grew wings and its speed doubled instantly.
As the siblings watched the speeding black Golden Core giant tiger, their faith in Xu Fan’s sheer presence was the only reason they had not fled.
“No matter how fast it is, it’s useless now.” Xu Fan said indifferently. Four Electromagnetic Long Spears in the air locked onto the black Golden Core giant tiger’s only possible escape routes.
‘Bang!!!’
All four Electromagnetic Long Spears fired simultaneously, seemingly across space and directly hitting the black Golden Core giant tiger.
‘Boom!!’
The four Electromagnetic Long Spears nailed the black Golden Core giant tiger to the ground, and five more Electromagnetic Long Spears appeared in the air, all shooting towards it.
“Remember especially in situations like this – even if you’re certain the enemy is dead, you must strike them once more.”
“Don’t ask why. Just do it.” Xu Fan said seriously to his two disciples. In all cases, dealing a finishing blow was a good habit to have.
“We understand, Master.” The siblings replied.
With the black Golden Core giant tiger’s final wail, the battle ended.
“You’re so naive if you think I wouldn’t hold back some power.” Xu Fan said mockingly to the remains of the giant tiger. The first two batches of Electromagnetic Long Spears he fired earlier only had half their usual speed and power, but even so, the Golden Core giant tiger instinctively dared not to take the hit head-on.
“Xu Gang, Moon Immortal, do you now understand now to seal ott tne opponent’s escape routes?”
“The first and second attacks were just probing attacks, allowing the opponent to use up their means of escape.”
“The real attack was the last one when the four Electromagnetic Long Spears had sealed off all the giant tiger’s escape routes, leaving it with no way to avoid death.’
“Also, during regular battles, be careful to hide your trump cards, it is enough to reveal only 70% of your strength usually.” Xu Fan took advantage of this battle to teach some truths to his beloved disciples.
“Understood.’
At this point, the Spiritual Liquid in Xiao Hu had already been completely absorbed by the Four Seas Bottle, leaving only a thick layer of Spiritual Liquid sediment at the bottom of the lake.
“The Spiritual Liquid sediment at the bottom of this lake is a good thing. If you use it to form the foundation of a large-scale Gathering Array, then it would be the top-tier Gathering Array.”
Xu Fan manipulated the Puppet to dig out the Spiritual Liquid sediment from the bottom of the lake like a layer of glue.
Only after exposing the fresh soil at the bottom of the lake did Xu Fan start to lead his two disciples to explore other places.
“Seven-Spirit Flowers, Spirit Water Ginseng, Sky Immortal plant, Star Spirit grass, Soul Spirit fruit, and Heavenly Mushroom, all of which are no less than a thousand years old.”
“We’ve come across treasures. We won’t lack main Spiritual Medicines for
Alchemy in the future.” Xu Fan, standing on a platform constructed by Puppets, saw an array of rare thousand-year-old medicines, all of which are considered rare treasures. These are usually encountered once in a blue moon.”
“Master, why didn’t the cultivators who came here before us take away these Spiritual Medicines?” Xu Yuexian asked curiously.
“Then why didn’t you take them?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.
“These are all Golden Core Monsters. If they found me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat them.” Xu Yuexian responded.
“Then why didn’t he ask for help?” Xu Fan asked again.
“Because he wanted to monopolize this Secret Realm.” Xu Yuexian answered.
“You see, that’s the answer.’
“A few Golden Core Stage cultivators can’t deal with this sort of place,”
“If you didn’t have your Master’s help, what would you do? Xu Fan asked again.
“Hide the entrance, wait quietly, cultivate with the Spiritual Liquid first, and then come back when my cultivation level has improved.” Xu Yuexian thought for a moment and replied.
“You’re a little smarter than that person.” Xu Fan praised.
At this point, the Puppet Heart flew over and reported to Xu Fan: “All the external areas have been cleaned up; please give your next order, Master.”
Upon hearing these words, Xu Fan nodded with satisfaction. He had spent great effort refining the Puppet Heart so that he could have days like today when he could get things done just by giving orders.
“Collect the materials from Demonic Beasts, continue mining and gathering Spiritual Medicines, and send the remaining Combat Puppets to explore the Ruins and collect valuable items.” Xu Fan instructed.
“Received.’
The Puppet Heart flew off into the distance.
“Except for the limited control range, everything else is fine.” Xu Fan commented as he watched the Puppet Heart fly away.
“Master, aren’t we going to explore the Ruins ourselves?” Xu Yuexian asked as she looked in the direction of the Ruins, as exploring the Ruins was equivalent to treasure hunters enjoying the spoils of war.
“There are dangers in the Ruins. It’s best not to use ourselves if we can use the Puppets. ”
Xu Fan spoke as he aimed a light at the nearby big Tree Spirit.
After the Tree Spirit underwent some changes, a dining table appeared in front of the three of them.
Xu Fan took out a pre-prepared insulated food box and began to take out various delicious dishes from it.
“You must be hungry, come and eat.”
“Picnicking under such beautiful scenery has a unique flavor to it..”
