Chapter 455: The Arrival of My Wife

"Whether I gain fame in the cultivation world or not doesn’t matter. What’s important is that I’m now officially a master craftsman," Sha Diao said with a touch of emotion. After all these years, the goal he had been striving for had finally been achieved.

"Brother Sha, if you’re not a master craftsman, then who is?"

"Just this piece of alloy alone is enough to earn the respect and recognition of every master craftsman in the cultivation world."

As Xu Fan spoke, he cut off a small piece of flame copper alloy and summoned the Phoenix Divine Fire to test its properties.

"The primary spirit ore is Spirit Fire Copper, combined with other fire attribute spirit ores and a small amount of metal and water attribute spirit ores. The resulting flame copper alloy is perfect for crafting fire attribute artifacts."

"And for Spell Puppets at the Void Refinement stage and Core Formation stage," Xu Fan added with a smile.

He hadn’t expected such a significant discovery from a spirit ore mine in the demon race.

"Core Formation Stage Puppets? You’re saying this flame copper alloy can actually be used to make them?" Sha Diao exclaimed, his excitement evident.

"The core and skeleton can be made from it, but we’ll need to find other spirit ores for the outer shell," Xu Fan replied after a moment of thought.

"That’s already amazing! If we can produce more Core Formation Stage Puppets for our sect, won’t we be unstoppable?" Sha Diao said enthusiastically.

"We’re not quite at the level of being unstoppable, but we’ll definitely be stronger than most," Xu Fan chuckled.

"What about using this to build a Star Ship?" Sha Diao asked, as he had originally intended to configure the alloy for that purpose.

"It can be used for the main cannon and secondary cannons, but the Star Ship’s hull will require more durable spirit ores," Xu Fan explained.

"Looks like I’ll have to keep researching," Sha Diao said with determination.

"Keep at it, Brother Sha!"

When Xu Fan left Sha Diao’s Artifact Hall, he carried a jade slip containing the flame copper alloy formula. He also managed to dissuade Sha Diao from renaming it the Sha Diao Alloy.

"Does this mean we can set up a Production Line for Void Refinement Stage Puppets?" Xu Fan suddenly wondered aloud in the underground space.

With that thought, Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, envisioning a Void Refinement stage puppet army from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Am I getting ahead of myself? Things have been going a little too smoothly for the sect lately," Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

In the past, whenever the sect experienced rapid growth, some issues would inevitably arise.

At that moment, his left eye began to twitch involuntarily again.

"Is this a sign of trouble? Or maybe I’m just destined for good fortune?" Xu Fan wondered, feeling a bit puzzled.

"Never mind. I’ll stop overthinking and focus on what’s in front of me," Xu Fan decided.

A massive light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, transforming into streams of data that swirled around him.

"Setting up a Production Line for Void Refinement Stage Puppets is no simple task," Xu Fan said, feeling a slight headache coming on.

Although Grape had impressive computing power, for highly complex tasks like this, Xu Fan needed to take the lead.

At that moment, all the spirit ores the Hidden Spirit Sect could gather in large quantities appeared before Xu Fan in the form of data.

"Let’s use the flame copper alloy as the core and Rock Star Iron spirit ore for the outer shell."

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, 90% of the data surrounding him vanished instantly.

Then, Xu Fan began moving his hands, designing the crafting process for the alloy, the assembly of parts, the sequence of engraving formations, and finally, the testing process once the puppet was complete.

Because of this matter, Xu Fan was busy for an entire month.

During this month, Xu Fan’s left eye kept twitching.

"How strange, nothing good seems to happen."

"Is this not a thing in the cultivation world?" Xu Fan wondered aloud.

Just then, Grape’s voice suddenly chimed in.

"Master, your cultivation partner has returned!" Grape’s voice carried a hint of joy.

"What? Weiyun is back!" Xu Fan was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed in excitement.

Xu Fan stepped out of the underground space, and with wind and thunder-like wings appearing behind him, he transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Hidden Spirit Sect.

This streak of light crossed half of Hidden Spirit Island, heading towards a certain direction outside the Hidden Spirit Sect.

The blue and aurora-colored light astonished everyone in the entire sect.

"With this speed, does the Grand Elder have something urgent?" Spirit Cut remarked, transforming into a flash of blood-colored light to follow, hoping to lend a hand if needed.

At the edge of the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, a large dark blue bird crouched before a girl, refusing to fly over the giant lake no matter what.

"Little Qingqing, you have Divine Beast blood, so don’t be so timid," Zhang Weiyun said, looking at the trembling dark blue bird on the ground.

The dark blue bird kept shaking its head, adamantly refusing to fly with Zhang Weiyun, its eyes fixed on the sky, revealing a look of fear.

Once, Xu Fan had given an order that if this dark blue bird flew over the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, the Demon Suppressing Star would lock onto it, and now Grape had eagerly replaced it with a railgun.

The dark blue bird’s fear was no different from having the main cannon of a Star Ship shoved into its mouth.

"If you won’t go, then I will," Zhang Weiyun said, turning her head with a huff.

At that moment, a streak of light crossed the sky, and Xu Fan’s figure appeared before Zhang Weiyun.

"Weiyun~"

"Husband~"

The two embraced tightly, and Xu Fan felt emotional, thinking that his wife had finally returned.

"Why did your sect disappear last time? You made me unable to find you," Zhang Weiyun said, looking at Xu Fan, whom she hadn’t seen in years, with a hint of reproach.

"At that time, we encountered some danger, and I had to lead the whole sect to flee," Xu Fan explained, realizing why he always felt a sense of longing while at Nine Peak Island.

"Husband, why didn’t you tell me about the danger? I could have asked my master to help you!" Zhang Weiyun said matter-of-factly.

"How could I trouble your master? Now our sect has grown stronger; we fear no danger," Xu Fan replied.

"Let’s head back to the sect first~" Xu Fan suggested.

"Okay," Zhang Weiyun nodded, following Xu Fan back to Hidden Spirit Island.

At that moment, above the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, a woman in a red dress with long hair was calmly staring at Spirit Cut.

Surrounding her were an Immortal Sword and six top-tier Spiritual Swords floating nearby.

"I am an elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect; who are you?" Spirit Cut said warily, looking at the Great Ascension Master before him.

Seeing the treasures displayed by the woman, he knew he was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Damn it, I forgot to ask my grandson for a celestial tool before going out.

Hearing Spirit Cut’s words, the woman smoothly stored away her treasures.

"My disciple is the Grand Elder’s wife; as long as you’re not here to cause trouble, that’s fine," the woman said before vanishing before Spirit Cut’s eyes.

"So the Grand Elder has a cultivation partner; why have I never heard him mention it?" Spirit Cut scratched his head in confusion.

After this incident, Spirit Cut firmly resolved something.

In the future, he must first ask his grandson for a celestial tool before going out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to compete with the enemy’s momentum. Having a celestial tool is impressive!
