BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69 - 69: Secret Realm
Xu Fan looked at these two disciples, and honestly speaking, Moon Immortal’s combat talent was slightly higher. Her ability to easily suppress Xu Gang was related to the fighting path she chose.
“Good timing, you’re both here. Accompany me for an experiment.” Xu Fan waved his hand, and a black sphere the size of a basketball, flickering with countless runes, appeared.
“Master, what magical treasure is this?” The siblings curiously looked at Xu Fan, who often refined strange and unusual things, making them very curious about his unknown magical treasures.
“First-tier Treasure Artifact, Puppet Heart.”
Before Xu Fan spoke, an electronic voice sounded. This was the artifact spirit of the Puppet Heart, which Xu Fan had not fully set up yet.
“Puppet Heart; Master specifically refined this treasure to control puppets.” Xu
Fan said with a smile.
A sword-wielding puppet about 1.5 meters tall was taken out by Xu Fan. A Soul Iron connector sphere directly fused into the puppet’s core.
“This puppet has the combat power of the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation. Moon
Immortal, engage it in a spar.”
As the connector fused with the core of the sword-wielding puppet, a tiny, bright light appeared on the Puppet Heart.
The sword-wielding puppet leaped into action, turned into a shadow, and entered the center of the newly repaired battle arena, even beckoning at Moon Immortal.
“Master, is this puppet powerful?” Moon Immortal looked at the beckoning puppet with a hint of unusual light in her eyes, feeling that there was a soul inside this puppet.
“Why don’t you try and see.”
Xu Fan had high expectations for the Puppet Heart.
After hearing Xu Fan’s words, Moon Immortal directly transformed into an afterimage and pounced on the sword-wielding puppet.
The sword-wielding puppet didn’t show weakness either and charged directly towards Moon Immortal.
“Xu Gang, watch carefully and learn how to deal with agile opponents in the future.’
At this moment, the sounds of weapons clashing echoed incessantly. Two afterimages moved rapidly around the arena, fighting fiercely.
Just then, Moon Immortal’s figure suddenly disappeared, and the sword-wielding puppet in combat mode also stopped, standing quietly in place, waiting for Moon Immortal’s reappearance.
“Xu Gang, can you spot your little sister?” Xu Fan asked. He knew that this kid must have a way to deal with Moon Immortal.
“l can’t find her, but I know that if I can master the secret techniques Master taught me, it wouldn’t matter whether I can find her or not.” Xu Gang said honestly, regretting in his heart that he hadn’t yet mastered any of the secret techniques Master had passed on to him.
“Which secret technique are you currently practicing?” Xu Fan was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it. Indeed, all the secret techniques he had passed on to this kid were of the carpet bombing style.
“Nuclear Explosion Technique.”
“You’re not allowed to use the secret techniques I taught you during sparring, understand?” Xu Fan hurriedly spoke, fearing that this kid might actually hurt Moon Immortal if he used one.
“Yes, Master. I’m just slow-witted, not stupid.” Xu Gang scratched his head and replied.
A small grenade banged on Xu Gangs head.
“You little rascal, you know how to talk back now.” Xu Fan’s mouth corner raised slightly, feeling that this silly disciple seemed to be catching on.
At this moment, the battlefield underwent a sudden change. A golden blade appeared directly behind the sword-wielding puppet’s head. Just as the puppet was about to react, its head was pierced by the golden sharp sword.
At the same time, a knife was also held at Moon Immortal e s throat.
“Moon Immortal, a puppet’s weakness is its spiritual energy core, not its head.’
Xu Fan waved his hand, stopping the Puppet Heart.
“Master, 1 understand.” Moon Immortal hung her head, nearly failing to defeat a puppet at the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation.
“Round Heart, have you collected the battle data?” Xu Fan asked.
“Data collection is complete. Next time, only two sword-wielding puppets are needed to defeat her.” The electronic voice made Xu Fan feel a sense of time and space confusion.
At this time, the Forbidden Bell Sound rang.
Pang Fu entered.
“Master Xu, 1 have something great for you to take a look at.” Despite his heavy body, Pang Fu walked towards Xu Fan with exceptional nimbleness.
“Oh, what good stuff did you find?” Xu Fan’s eyes lit up, as he had asked Pang Fu to specifically collect a few things he urgently needed.
Inside the guest room, Xu Fan had been staring at the ball of Spiritual Fire in front of him for a long time.
“Meteorite Spirit Fire, thank you Elder Brother Pang,” said Xu Fan.
With this, Xu Fan could refine a third-order treasure artifact.
“Hoxuv many Spirit Stones did it cost? If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more,” said Xu Fan, as his yearly share of Spirit Stones earned as a shareholder in the Chamber of Commerce had been saved within the Chamber itself.
“400,000 Spirit Stones, no need to make up the difference. However, the owner of this Spiritual Fire has a condition.”
Pang Fu took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Xu Fan.
“Help him refine a second-order treasure artifact, a Storage Sea Bottle.”
When Xu Fan took the Jade Slip and looked, his mood instantly improved; it had been a long time since he encountered a customer with their own schematic.
“Interesting. Prepare the materials, and he can come to pick it up in a week,” said Xu Fan. As long as there was a schematic, everything was smooth. As for why it would take a week? Simply because Xu Fan wanted it that way.
At this moment, Xu Fan looked at Pang Fu r s figure and asked, “Are you close to Foundation Establishment?”
“Not yet, it might take some time,” laughed Pang Fu. In terms of his relationship with Xu Fan, he considered him more of a friend rather than a transaction partner.
Xu Fan handed a bottle of Yanxin Pill to Pang Fu.
“Take it; it will help your body.”
Pang Fu accepted it without any fuss.
A week later, when Xu Fan handed over the Storage Sea Bottle to Pang Fu, he was mysteriously led by Xu Yuexian and Xu Gang to their usual chatting spot.
“Tell me, what’s with the secrecy? Did you find any treasure for me to appraise?” asked Xu Fan, recalling Xu Yuexian’s similar expression when she discovered treasures in the past.
“Master, can you handle a Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast?” Xu Yuexian asked mysteriously.
“As long as there aren’t too many,” Xu Fan estimated his own strength while answering.
“How many is ‘not too many’? Like, 20?” Xu Yuexian inquired.
“20 is fine,” Xu Fan held back mentioning anything beyond 100.
“Then, Master, do you lack Spirit Stones?” Xu Yuexian asked again.
“Of course! No matter how many Spirit Stones you give your Master, I can spend them all,” Xu Fan chuckled, finding her question as amusing as being asked if he lacked money. He hadn’t started several other projects simply because he lacked enough Spirit Stones.
“Master, I discovered a secret realm, and inside I found an entire lake of Spiritual Liquid!’
“There are countless thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines inside, as well as a set of ruins guarded by Golden Core Monster at the entrance.”
“l was afraid to startle the snake by hitting the grass, so I didn’t go in,” Xu Yuexian said, her tone becoming more mysterious and excited. This was the first time she had discovered a treasure trove of this scale.
After hearing Xu Fan’s beloved disciple’s words, Xu Fan didn’t let the excitement get to his head, but it drove Xu Gang crazy.
“Are you sure there are no Demonic Beasts above the Golden Core Stage?” Xu Fan asked.
“No, my intuition is always accurate. If there were any Demonic Beasts above the Golden Core Stage, 1 would have known as soon as I entered the secret realm,” Xu Yuexian confidently replied.
“Is the exit of the secret realm easy to access? How do we escape if we encounter Demonic Beasts above the Nascent Soul Stage? Have you made any escape plans?”
“How big of a Space Ring do you need, what containers are needed for the Spiritual Medicines, and what containers are needed for the Spiritual Liquid? Have you investigated what category of Demonic Beasts are inside?” Xu Fan asked a series of questions in one go.
“Everything Master thought of, 1 did too. Even things you didn’t think of, I considered as well.’
Xu Yuexian handed a Jade Slip to Xu Fan..
