Chapter 369: Chapter 342: Zhan Ling Arrives

Translator: 549690339

At the beginning of his cultivation, Xu Fan had thought about the idea of ​​turning spiritual qi into spirit stones and had conducted several experiments, but all of them ended in failure.

Although the theory was viable, once put into practice, various restrictions were encountered.

Eventually, Xu Fan concluded that the Will of Heaven in this world did not allow such behavior.

“Pu Tao, please demonstrate the process of condensing spiritual qi into spirit stones once more for me.”

At this moment, Stupid-showed up next to Xu Fan.

“Okay.”

Spiritual qi gathered again, and this time Xu Fan watched attentively, not letting any detail pass unnoticed.

It was not until a spirit stone appeared in Pu Tao’s hand that Xu Fan came to his senses, his eyes full of disappointment.

He thought he could make a fortune, but he was just thinking too much.

“How much computing power is needed to gather this spirit stone?” Xu Fan asked.

“It is three times the previous computing power of Pu Tao. At present, medium-grade spirit stones cannot be condensed.”

“However, changing the structure of spiritual qi can provide disciples with an unlimited supply of spiritual qi within the sect.”

Pu Tao showed a cluster of spiritual qi that could be directly absorbed into the body and was 100% compatible with the spiritual power within Xu Fan.

“Not bad, it’s quite useful.” Xu Fan said with satisfaction.

“It’s a good thing that condensing spiritual qi into spirit stones is difficult. Doing this for a long time can easily lead to curses and other negative consequences,” Stupid said from the side.

“Do you have anything to refer to?” Xu Fan looked at Stupid and asked.

“My master once told me that in the Cultivation World, there was once a person who refined a magical treasure that could absorb spiritual qi and turn it into spirit stones.”

“That artifact refiner thought he could become famous and go down in history.”

“But just as he was about to prove his achievement to the world, he was directly crushed by a meteorite falling from the sky.”

“I see.” Xu Fan nodded, understanding the Will of Heaven’s rationale for such behavior. If such an artifact were to become widespread, all the gathering places for spiritual qi in the entire Cultivation World would suffer devastating effects.

“Pu Tao, don’t condense spirit stones in the future,” Xu Fan said.

“But you can prepare more spiritual qi that matches the sect disciples.”

“Yes, sir.”

“By the way, can you refine Dao artifacts now?” Xu Fan asked. Previously, Pu Tao could refine magical treasures with the help of puppets, but now, after further progress, he should be able to refine Dao artifacts, right?

“I can refine ordinary magical treasures, but not Dao artifacts.”

“I need the sect disciples to cooperate with me to do so.” Pu Tao thought for a moment and said.

“Finally, it’s possible. It wasn’t easy,” Xu Fan exclaimed happily.

“The sect’s four star vessels transformation plan, the Dao artifact accessories for the sect’s foundation, the Demon Suppression Star, and Void Cultivation Stage puppets, I’ll leave all of this to you.” Xu Fan’s face was filled with an irrepressible smile.

Stupid’s expression on the side was a bit strange.

Had Artifact Refining Grandmasters become commonplace?

“No problem, Master. Leave it all to me,” said the childlike Pu Tao.

“Senior Brother Sha, let’s go fishing in the Endless Sea, shall we?” Xu Fan smiled and said.

“I don’t need to, I have to go back and continue studying my Dao Artifact Alloy formula.”

“The path of becoming an Artifact Refining Grandmaster is entrusted to the Great Master.” After Stupid finished speaking, he flew towards his Refining Equipment Peak without turning back.

At this moment, Xu Fan was like a child studying hard to get admitted to Qingbei, suddenly finding out that he had been directly admitted.

What’s the point of studying then? Just have fun.

At this time, a light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan, showing a bloody escape light speeding towards Hidden Spirit Path from a hundred thousand miles away.

Considering its escape speed, it would be at least a Mahayana Venerable.

“Oh, it’s Star Ci’s Tao Protector. I’ll go meet him.” Xu Fan knew just by looking at the demonic escape light.

Xu Fan rode a spirit boat outside the sect.

“Welcome, senior, to our Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan said to the middle-aged, bearded man who stopped not far from him.

“It’s my honor to be welcomed by a grandmaster and to thank you for saving my life,” Zhan Ling laughed and saluted.

Xu Fan left a good first impression on him, with no prejudice against demonic cultivators in his eyes.

“Please follow me to the sect, allow me to entertain you properly,” Xu Fan smiled.

“No need to be so formal. We’re all family now,” Zhan Ling said indifferently. Since he had already decided to become someone’s Tao protector, he no longer put on a senior’s airs.

In the Main Peak Welcoming Hall, Xu Fan specially invited Sword Wuji’s mother, who was the master chef, to cook the meal.

“Not bad, every dish is a top-notch delicacy. This fairy chef is already a master who approaches the Dao through cooking,” Zhan Ling picked up a piece of fried fish and said, savoring the taste.

“She’s the best chef on Hidden Spirit Island, rarely making an appearance,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

After a banquet, the Hidden Spirit Sect successfully gained a Mahayana Venerable-level elder.

A spirit boat floated on the Endless Sea. Xu Fan and the Hidden Spirit Sect elder Zhan Ling were fishing on the boat.

For now, these two were the most leisurely people in the sect.

“Great Master, can you make a Mahayana-level spirit power armor for Young Li that can be remotely controlled?” Zhan Ling said while fishing.

“I can, but that kind of spirit power armor would be at least in the pinnacle of Dao artifacts, which I can’t refine yet,” Xu Fan said.

“What a pity. I have a talent for controlling that stuff,” Zhan Ling said regretfully.

“Haha, if Elder Zhan Ling likes it, I’ll specially refine one for you later,” Xu Fan laughed. Using a pinnacle Dao artifact to win over a Mahayana Venerable wasn’t losing anything.

“Great Master, are you serious?” Zhan Ling was overjoyed. He left all his magical treasures at the Demon Sect when he came here, including the Split Magic Knife, which accounted for nearly half of his power.

“Would I lie to you? You are the Tao protector of my disciple.”

“He’s ignorant, but a master must not be. From now on, Elder Zhan Ling’s magical treasures will be provided by our Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan said generously.

“Could you refine me a Dao artifact demon sword?” Zhan Ling said.

“That’s easy, I just can’t refine a pinnacle-level Dao artifact yet. Elder Zhan Ling will have to wait for that,” Xu Fan said.

“Of course, I should,” Zhan Ling laughed and said. He suddenly found Xu Fan to his liking, especially since he was a powerful Refining Master.

At this moment, a large spirit boat suddenly flew out from Hidden Spirit Island in the distance and sped away in a certain direction. On it were three Five Spirit Monkeys, one at the Combination Stage and two at the Void Refining Stage.

“Great Master, have the demon clan members on the Spirit Boat been tamed?” Zhan Ling asked doubtfully.

“Sort of, they can be considered members of our Hidden Spirit Sect. There was a little accident over there, so they have to go over and take a look,” Xu Fan said nonchalantly.

“Do you need me to step in?” Zhan Ling offered, wanting to show his gratitude for receiving benefits earlier.

“No, Elder Zhan Ling should stay in the sect and cultivate. Your cultivation level hasn’t fully recovered yet,” Xu Fan said.

He could sense that Elder Zhan Ling had not yet returned to his peak.
