Linsen Immortal City Teleportation Array, Shi Zhan stepped out of it.

Looking at this long-lost immortal city, Shi Zhan sighed softly, originally thinking that by the time he returns, he could gather enough Spirit Stones to redeem his world from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

However, impermanence prevails, and the Cultivation World has now entered a critical period. As this world and the Demon World merge, the entire Cultivation World begins to unrest. There are even traces of Demon Clan lurking outside some Immortal Cities now.

Shi Zhan, who had been working hard to earn Spirit Stones abroad, decided to return to Linsen Immortal City to defend his hometown world after learning about the invasion of the Demon Clan in the Linsen Immortal City region.

Then, he wants to see if he can join the Hidden Spirit Sect. Although the chances are slim, he wants to give it a try.

If not, he will persist in guarding the outside of his hometown world.

“Fellow Daoist Xu looks kind. I hope my sincerity can move him.” Shi Zhan said, touching the Space Ring on his hand.

After many years as a Treasure Hunter, he had accumulated some wealth. Although still not enough to redeem his hometown world, he was already considered quite wealthy.

At this moment, the excited Xu Fan received the message that Shi Zhan had come to visit him.

“Did he gather the Spirit Stones so quickly?” Xu Fan muttered to himself. According to his calculations, it would take this kid working hard for 100 years to earn just enough of the 800 million Spirit Stones if he didn’t encounter any great fortune.

Outside Hidden Spirit Island, a giant Spirit Iron ship was suspended above the lake surface.

There was a pavilion on top of the giant ship, where Xu Fan and the apprehensive Shi Zhan sat facing each other.

“It’s been many years since we last met, fellow Daoist. You’ve matured quite a bit since then.” Xu Fan smiled. Back when Shi Zhan had just come out of the small world, his temperament was more like a chivalrous expert rather than a cultivator.

Now it seems that Shi Zhan’s temperament has turned into that of an ordinary cultivator, one who struggles for resources and debts.

“It’s probably because I’ve been hanging around in the Cultivation World for a long time, so I seem more mature.” Shi Zhan laughed.

Shi Zhan accepted the tea handed over by Xu Fan, took a sip, and the bitterness on his face grew even more intense.

“It seems that you’ve experienced a lot in the Cultivation World, fellow Daoist.” Xu Fan said.

At that moment, a team of God Transformation Stage Puppets carrying a coffin in the sky caught Shi Zhan’s attention.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, what’s in the coffins carried by those puppets..?” Shi Zhan asked. He wouldn’t have normally cared about other people’s matters, but he felt a familiar aura in that coffin that he would remember for a lifetime.

“Oh, a Void Refining Cultivator dared to ambush my disciple in secret, and now, I’ve caught him and brought him back for my disciple to deal with.” Xu Fan casually mentioned, not expecting that the Void Refining Cultivator would remain so cautious even now that he had been brought back.

“Is that Void Refining Cultivator the one who hunts Treasure Hunters? Because he has a vendetta against me.” Shi Zhan said.

“That’s good. Then you can take your revenge as well.” Xu Fan casually said. The two discussed the events of the Cultivation World and Linsen Immortal City being invaded by the Demon Clan.

Feeling that their conversation had reached a natural point, Shi Zhan decided to bring up the matter at hand.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, 1 know that my talent is weak, and 1 cannot pass your sect’s assessment.

“But with the invasion of the Demon World, I want to defend my hometown world.’

“I’ve been a Treasure Hunter for years, and this is all I’ve saved. I just hope that your sect will take me in as an outer disciple, and give me the opportunity to guard the outside of my hometown world.”

Shi Zhan took out a Space Ring and handed it to Xu Fan.

“Disciples of my sect are not divided into inner and outer.”

Xu Fan took the Space Ring and checked it, finding a Small Target’s worth of Spirit Stones inside. For a late Golden Core Stage cultivator, this is already a huge amount of money.

“With these Spirit Stones, you can completely join a major sect and slowly advance. It’s not a problem for you to reach the Void Refining Stage in the future.’

“Why do you insist on joining my sect, just to prevent my sect from causing a little less killing in your hometown world?” Xu Fan asked.

“Not exactly. It’s just that the feelings for my hometown are hard to let go of.” Shi Zhan’s tone revealed a hint of true emotions.

“Home,” Xu Fan murmured, lowering his head. Then, looking at Shi Zhan, he asked, “Is there someone there that you can’t let go of?”

“Yes,”

After a moment of silence, Xu Fan waved his hand and returned Shi Zhan’s Space Ring filled with his years of savings.

“Well then, you know that my sect is a hidden one, and we don’t recruit cultivators like you who have already achieved a certain level of cultivation.”

“But in view of your connection with my sect and your perseverance, I’ll make an exception and accept you as an outer disciple of my sect.”

“l will establish the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Outer Sect at the entrance of your hometown world. For now, you will be the Outer Elder, responsible for the Outer Sect affairs.’

“As for the future development of the Outer Sect, I’ll think about it later.”

“l don’t know if you’re satisfied with this outcome.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

After hearing Xu Fan’s words, Shi Zhan excitedly got up and bowed to Xu Fan, saying, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for your help.”

“This has to do with your perseverance. What tricks can such a person who has such attachment to his hometown have?” Xu Fan said,

“Hehe.” Shi Zhan scratched his head and laughed.

“Let’s establish the Outer Sect first, and we’ll talk about other matters later.’

“Pu Tao.”

“I’m here.” The electronic sound echoed.

“Construct an artificial island below the original marked small world. Build it to be one-third the size of Hidden Spirit Island.” Xu Fan ordered.

“Understood.’

Suddenly, the lake bed around the Hidden Spirit Island began to churn and surge.

Hundreds of thousands of underwater Tool Puppets began to move on the bottom of the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake. Thousands of giant ships flew out from Hidden Spirit Island and headed towards Shi Zhan’s hometown. “You go along with those Tool Puppets and share your thoughts with them.”

“The corresponding Sect’s Cultivation Method and other things will be authorized to you gradually.”

“Understood.’

After saying this, Shi Zhan bid farewell to Xu Fan and flew towards his hometown.

“Lucky kid, at least he has a home to return to and someone to miss.” Xu Fan sighed.

The deep feelings Shi Zhan had for his hometown moved Xu Fan slightly, and he saw a trace of himself in Shi Zhan.

“Master, are you missing your hometown again?”

Xu Yuexian appeared behind Xu Fan unknowingly, her eyes slightly red, as if she had just cried.

“Just thinking about some things.”

“You’re so grown up, and still crying.” Xu Fan smiled as he looked at Xu

Yuexian.

“Master, thank you.” Xu Yuexian said gratefully. Originally, she had almost forgotten about seeking revenge. After all, she had already destroyed the Void Refining Cultivator’s physical body, and in her eyes, that was considered vengeance fulfilled.

“As long as you’re my disciple, anyone who dares to touch you is my enemy for life.”

“A dead enemy is a good enemy.” Xu Fan said, having a little book in which any cultivator or Demon Clan member who leaves a name is his immediate target for retaliation..
