Chapter 868: Chapter 841: Thunder Dao Big Shot_1
After this divine power was cast, the subsequent development was quite smooth.
With everything in full view, the Hidden Spirit Sect ultimately triumphed in terms of combat power.
Additionally, the mental state of the disciples of the Elders Association began to crumble ever so slightly.
Although the battle was tough, they maintained an advantage throughout.
In the end, Xiong Li struck the Elder's Association Chief Senior Brother and ended the battle with a single blow.
After the battle, Xu Fan waved his hand and deactivated the light curtain.
"Good job. When we face a certain Immortal Sect in the fairy world in the future, we won't have to worry about team battles," Xu Fan said with a smile.
A month later, two Yu Zhou entered the Feiyu Boundary.
"We're finally back," Wang Yulun sighed.
When you're in the sect, you want to get out, and when you're out, you want to return to the sect.
As for the Star Region and Ancient Green World, once you see them, you'll lose curiosity.
"Godfather, when I become strong, I will definitely tame that Golden Stone Spirit and raise it in the sect to eat slowly." Star looked up at Wang Yulun and said.
"Alright, I'll wait for that day," Wang Yulun said with a smile, patting Star's head.
Wang Ling'er and Sui Ying watched them from the side.
Sui Ying's face showed no expression, while Wang Ling'er pouted, feeling like she had been neglected.
The two Yu Zhou ships landed smoothly on the Hundred-Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.
"Welcome Home!" Pu Tao's voice resounded.
As Song Ming looked at the distant Hidden Spirit Island and Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, he felt an eerie sense of being in a different world.
The journey had been fraught with danger, and he'd played dangerous mind games between the Ancient Green World and the Chunhua Commerce Association. His spirit was filled with an unusual fatigue.
Yet, all that vanished into thin air when he saw the Hidden Spirit Island.
"Is the Great Master available at the moment?" Song Ming asked.
"The Great Master is waiting for you at the dojo on the Main Peak," Pu Tao replied.
Song Ming nodded, leading several Commerce Road disciples behind him towards the Main Peak.
"Greetings to the Great Master." The returned disciples greeted in unison.
"Rise, you all have had a hard journey," Xu Fan said softly.
Xu Fan was aware of the danger they had encountered and what had happened in the Ancient Green World.
He was very satisfied, knowing that there was another pillar in the commerce sector of the sect.
"Great Master, the total profit from this trip is 36,000 fairy jade, plus the talismans sold by the Great Master, for a total of 460,000 fairy jade."
"All of it was used to buy Immortal-grade Spirit Mines."
"As for the coordinates of other Middle Thousand Worlds, the Chunhua Commerce Association refused to sell," Song Ming reported.
"Well done. Pu Tao told me about your dangerous journey."
"You have courage and strategy, you are both book-smart and war-wise. Go and collect your reward from the treasury later," Xu Fan praised.
"It is my duty to serve the sect!"
Having received Xu Fan's affirmation, Song Ming instantly felt a sense of purpose in life.
"Take a good rest for a while after you get back," Xu Fan said, handing over a Jade Slip to Song Ming.
The Jade Slip contained a list of Immortal-grade Spirit Mines.
"Here's a long-term quest for you, gather these Immortal-grade Spirit Mines within 500 years."
"Don't worry, I will regularly refine some talismans for us to sell," Xu Fan continued.
After looking at the list in the Jade Slip and thinking for a while, Song Ming said, "Great Master, given 300 years, I can collect these Immortal-grade Spirit Mines."
"During our time in the Ancient Green World, I made a tally of the trading Middle Thousand Worlds."
"The Immortal-grade Spirit Mines listed here can all be found in the Ancient Green World. As long as we have enough fairy jade, we can gather them quickly," Song Ming assured.
Looking at it, Xu Fan realised that Song Ming found the task too simple.
Only a tenth of the Immortal-grade Spirit Mines needed are listed in the Jade Slip.
Looking at this situation, Xu Fan seems to have increased the requirements again.
"Master, giving me 500 years should be enough," Song Ming assured after taking a look.
"That's fine, no need to rush." Xu Fan smiled.
"Master, please rest assured, I promise to complete the mission."
Ming Kong left, and Wang Yulun came in.
Wang Yulun tossed over a Space Ring.
"This is a gift I bought for Brother Xu at the Chunhua Commerce Association. I hope you would like it." Wang Yulun said with a smile.
Xu Fan looked at the Space Ring and found it full of various stone statues.
"I purchased them at the Chunhua Commerce Association. They're said to encompass statues of all famous Divine Beasts, Demonic Beasts, Auspicious Beasts, and Immortal Beasts from the Wood Origin World."
"If placed in a place abundant with Immortal Spirit Qi for a long time, they might transform into guardian beasts of the Hidden Spirit Sect," Wang Yulun explained.
"I appreciate it. This present aligns perfectly with my taste." Xu Fan, moved, held the Space Ring and expressed how much he cherished the gift.
"As long as Brother Xu likes it." Wang Yulun chuckled.
Xu Fan inspected briefly and confirmed that this was a rebate from his good brother.
Although most of the statues in the Space Ring were made from stone, a few looked extraordinary and were already forming veins and arteries.
With time they might transform into the hidden beasts guarding the sect.
Wang Yulun shared many of his experiences on the way with Xu Fan, looking quite joyful.
That night, Xu Fan took the opportunity to throw a welcome banquet for the entire sect at the largest dojo in front of the Main Peak.
There was a constant flow of Immortal Dishes and Spirit Wine.
Many talented disciples took the stage and performed, genuinely bringing joy to the rest of the disciples.
Xiong Li recklessly hugged the Sheng Bone Wine on the wine table and showed off crazily.
After drinking more than ten jars, he finally couldn't drink anymore and then set his sights on the dishes on the table.
"Senior brother, aren't you going to watch the performances on the stage? The Junior Sisters are performing such good Immortal Dances," Thousand-Warrior exclaimed next to Xiong Li.
Xiong Li gave a glance at the stage but quickly turned his attention back to the dishes.
"Big brother Xiong Li, shall we perform a piece?" Thousand-Warrior's eyes sparkled as he suggested mischievously to Xiong Li.
Seeing Thousand-Warrior's demeanor, it was clear he was scheming something. To prevent him from uttering his thoughts,
Xiong Li grabbed Thousand-Warrior's collar and flung him into the Sky.
And thus, a shooting star appeared in the sky.
Xu Fan, who was admiring the performances, saw the shooting star and couldn't help but praise, "Using brute force can actually catapult such a long distance."
After the banquet ended, the Hidden Spirit Sect resumed its daily operations.
The disciples, however, somehow heard about the sect's need for Immortal-Grade Spirit Mines.
As a result, the number of disciples visiting the Demon World in search of treasure increased significantly.
Although the two worlds had combined, those in the Cultivation world still referred to the former territory of the Demon Clan as the Demon World.
One day, as Xu Fan was fishing with his good brothers,
Li Butcher, Li Leihu's father, suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Great Master, I am about to Ascend to the Immortal World," Li Butcher announced.
Xu Fan could feel the power of the Thunder emanating from Li Butcher, suggesting that the Big Shot had probably recovered the memories of his past life.
In Xu Fan's senses, Li Butcher was like the origin of Thunder Dao, effortlessly mastering the Thunder Tribulation of a world.
"Big Shot, did you awaken the memories of your previous life?" Xu Fan asked tentatively.
Li Butcher shook his head, pointed to his head, and said with a smile, "More memories have emerged in my mind."
"Urging me to Ascend to the Upper World, where I have many tasks to accomplish."
