Chapter 309 - 282: The Talent of Cloud Flower Deer
“Currently, Xiong Li is not in immediate danger, as it’s Zhuang Ling’s sister who has been sent to hunt him down.”
“On several occasions, they clashed with Xiong Li only to bring him back to the Hehuan Holy Land,” Pu Tao added.
“What’s Zhuang Lings sister’s cultivation level?” Xu Fan asked.
“Nascent Soul Stage, the number one Celestial Favorite in Hehuan Holy Land.” Upon hearing it was only Nascent Soul Stage, Xu Fan sighed in relief.
“Strengthen the defensive force around Xiong Li, saving him when necessary will be enough,” Xu Fan said.
“Understood.’
Three days later, the first thing Zhang Xueling said to the Puppet upon coming out of the Path-Seeking Illusion Realm was,
“Could I go back in for another two years?”
The profound reluctance in his
voice made Xu Fan reassess his disciple.
In a pavilion by the lake on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan asked the most perplexing question to Zhang Xueling in front of him, “During 24 years in the Path-Seeking Illusion Realm, practicing divine abilities and realizing Dao, have you not felt the slightest impatience?”
“Not the least impatient, it’s the place this disciple yearns for the most. I would like to spend all my lifetimes there practicing and realizing Dao.” The yearning in Zhang Xuelings eyes made Xu Fan feel like a devotee beholding his heavenly kingdom.
Every teacher likes a student who is eager to learn, but Zhang Xueling was obviously overdoing it.
“You can’t go back into that Path-Seeking Illusion Realm. From now on, you will stay in the Sect’s Scripture Pavilion, where you are free to study any cultivation techniques and divine abilities,” Xu Fan said.
Maintaining the Illusory World required consumption of Sands of Space and Time. It wasn’t that Xu Fan begrudged the Sands of Space and Time, but he was worried that Zhang Xueling would lose control of his sense of time in the Illusion realm.
Living in an environment with different speeds of time can lead to severe after-effects.
This insight came from when Xu Fan exploited the glitch in the Time Hut.
“Thank you, Great Master,” Zhang Xueling bowed in acknowledgement. His face showed no joy or surprise, but the hint of regret flashing in his eyes did not escape Xu Fan.
“Off you go. Don’t just focus on comprehending Dao and practicing divine abilities, take some time out to walk around as well.’
“Disciple understands. Thank you for your guidance, Great Master.”
After saying this, Zhang Xueling bowed to Xu Fan and took his leave.
After the conversation, Xu Fan turned his attention towards the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.
“Pu Tao, how long has Xiong Li been traveling abroad?” Xu Fan asked.
“Eight years and seven months.”
“Finally, it feels like time is moving faster,” Xu Fan said with a smile. “How is our base among the Mixed Iron Monkeys in the Demon Spirit World”
“The basic facilities and puppet production line have been set up, and we’re currently searching for the right targets for trading.”
“We’ve currently pinned down a newly entered clan of Wood Foxes.”
“Not bad, keep going this way.”
“When trading, prioritize Spirit Stones,” Xu Fan added.
Since he didn’t have to do the operation himself, he might as well raise it there. Xu Fan only cared about the time when it could produce resources to nourish him. He was badly broke recently.
“Pu Tao understands.’
As Xu Fan was drinking tea and enjoying the lake view from the pavilion, the Tianji Turtle slowly crawled past him, its eyes filled with resentment.
“Don’t keep going, come and chat,” Xu Fan said, spotting the Tianji Turtle.
After hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Tianji Turtle slowly crawled to the pavilion where Xu Fan was sitting and shrugged off to enjoy the lake view with him.
Xu Fan understood the meaning of the turtle’s low moaning.
“You’re saying the Sect’s Qi fortune can barely suppress those six dragon eggs, and in order to allow those six dragon eggs to hatch and grow up, we need more Auspicious Beasts or Magical Treasures that can suppress the Sect’s Qi fortune.’
A hint of seriousness flashed in Xu Fan’s eyes, seemingly acknowledging that he had unknowingly accepted Zhu Jiao as his grand disciple recently, perhaps due to this reason.
“Ula•-la-la-la~~”
“How could I just return this dragon egg we worked so hard to obtain to the Endless Sea? Our sect has suffered a lot for this egg,” Xu Fan said to the Tianji Turtle, unsatisfied.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be making a wedding dress for others as long as I’m here,” Xu Fan said as he patted the shell of the Tianji Turtle.
At this moment, three little deer ran past the pavilion where Xu Fan was sitting.
“Come here~”
A massive hand made of spiritual power instantly grabbed the three little deer and brought them to Xu Fan’s side.
“Flaming Spirit Deer, Little Flower, where did you kidnap these from?” Xu Fan sternly questioned.
The Cloud Flower Deer raised its head as though it was asking for rewards from Xu Fan.
“Ying Yin& ß’
“Where in the world are there volcanoes here, Little Flower? If you’re lying to me, you’re finished,” Xu Fan angrily said.
Xu Fan wasn’t bothered about the presence of extra auspicious beasts within the sect. However, he felt troubled that one of the beasts bore the symbol of another sect.
With a wave of his hand, the fire jade from the neck of the Flaming Spirit Deer appeared grasp.
“Yan Shan Sect.” Xu Fan said with furrowed brows.
The Yan Shan Sect was generally considered a neutral sect located within the territory controlled by the Demon Sky Sect. Xu Fan, however, saw the sect as trying to be inconspicuous, opting to pretend they didn’t exist as long as they didn’t provoke anyone. But once anyone dared to provoke them, they would mercilessly kill the instigator.
“Little Flower, can you return this Flaming Spirit Deer?” Xu Fan asked.
“Ying Yin& ß’
“So, you can only bring them here, but don’t know how to return them,” Xu Fan said, his brows furrowed.
Little Flower nodded, then suddenly disappeared before Xu Fan’s eyes.
Not much later, a jade-white young elephant was brought out of the Void by Little Flower.
“White Spirit Elephant!” Xu Fan exclaimed. This seemed to be the spiritual beast of the Demon Sect.
“Ying Yin%-”
“Okay, I got it. Don’t bring any more here,” Xu Fan said as he held his head.
“Uh~~”
At this time, the Tianji Turtle seemed to chuckle a bit.
“Enough of your nonsense now, there’s too much trouble already!” Xu Fan shouted angrily. Looking at the Cloud Flower Deer, he felt an intense urge to stew this creature and get rid of all the trouble it caused.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Yan Shan Sect began a frantic search for the lost baby deer that was the incarnation of their sect’s fate. The Demon
Sect was in the same situation.
Xu Fan could feel two strong threads of karma assaulting him.
“Looks like we have to take some measures,” Xu Fan said with gritted teeth.
A Five Spirit Monkey appeared in the sky above the Hidden Spirit Sect, making hand gestures, casting a green spirit light over the entire Hidden Spirit Sect. Xu Fan tapped his forehead, and a drop of blood appeared on the tip of his finger, which he shot toward the green light in the sky above the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Threads of bloody light became visible within the green spirit light.
Only after the green spirit light swept over the entire Hidden Spirit Sect and Xu Fan felt the disappearance of the two probing Karmic threads, did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Always getting into trouble,” muttered Xu Fan, glancing at the Cloud Flower Deer.
“Alright, go play with your friends,” Xu Fan said. He had known about this
Cloud Flower Deer’s talent for a long time, but he thought that having a child-rearing husband would be enough. However, it seemed that this thing was still not satisfied.
Xu Fan crushed the fire jade in his hand and used spiritual fire to turn it into ashes in order to prevent those people from finding him through the jade.
“Old turtle, how did Little Flower bring you back here?” Xu Fan asked curiously.
“From the Heavenly River Spirit Pond in the Elders Association?”
Xu Fan was utterly dumbfounded..
