Chapter 468: Little Follower

Xie Peng looked curiously at the spell called the Oli Give Guardian.

“With such a strange name, this spell must be something extraordinary,” Xie Peng said as he reached for the jade slip behind the spell nameplate.

He focused his thoughts on it and began to examine the contents.

As Xie Peng learned more about the spell, his mouth gradually opened wider, finding it hard to believe.

“Such a spell exists in the cultivation world!”

“It’s simply against logic—taking down a thousand enemies while harming oneself by eight hundred.”

The Oli Give Guardian was a unique technique created by Zhou Kailing.

The caster could release an enormous protective shield made of a thick, indescribable substance.

As the spell was cast, the shield would also fling that indescribable substance outward.

If it splashed onto someone, unless they had something to purify their soul, the foul odor would follow them for life.

At the same time, that thick, indescribable substance surprisingly had impressive Defensive Strength.

Xie Peng held the jade slip and fell into deep thought.

Its immense power and strong defense made it a perfect choice to disrupt the enemy’s heart.

Once the enemy’s mindset wavered, victory would be close at hand.

But for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.

“I wonder if Friend Lingtai knows this trick. If he uses it, I might as well admit defeat on the spot.”

“Even knowing it’s formed by magical energy, what difference does its shape, color, and smell make?”

“I wonder what this senior Zhou Kailing looks like? To create such a spell at such a young age is truly impressive.”

“This senior might have even created a spell that makes people consume this stuff. Just imagining it is terrifying,” Xie Peng said with a shiver, thinking it would be better to die than eat that thing.

Xie Peng hadn’t learned any of these spells; he had only glanced at them and borrowed a little inspiration.

Qianling Sect also had corresponding inherited techniques, but they were not as exquisite as those at the Hidden Spirit Sect.

A few days later, Xie Peng went to visit Xu Lingtai.

“Friend Lingtai, I discovered an astonishing spell in your sect’s external Sutra Pavilion.”

“This spell, once cast, causes the enemy’s heart to collapse instantly.”

“Do you know this spell?” Xie Peng asked.

Xu Lingtai’s heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously asked, “Does our sect have such a spell?”

Then, he quickly inquired with Grape, trying to see where the oversight lay.

“In the external Sutra Pavilion of the sect, there’s only a superficial spell created by Zhou Kailing; you don’t need to worry.”

Hearing Grape’s response in his heart, Xu Lingtai felt somewhat relieved but still sensed something was off.

“Oli Give Guardian, Soaring Rain to the Heavens, Great Thousand Insect Palm, and Maggot Hell.”

“Every one of these techniques is a deadly weapon against enemies; unless they are enemies in life and death, they don’t even deserve to see them,” Xie Peng marveled.

Hearing Xie Peng’s words, Xu Lingtai felt a bit relieved and smiled, saying, “This technique was created by our sect’s Fifth Martial Uncle.”

“The sect has a rule: unless it’s a life-and-death enemy or a life-threatening situation, these techniques are generally forbidden.”

Xie Peng nodded in agreement.

“By the way, Friend Lingtai, I heard that the Senior Brother among your first-generation disciples is the strongest in combat. When can you introduce me to him?” Xie Peng suddenly asked.

“Are you looking to spar with Senior Brother Xiong Li?” Xu Lingtai asked, surprised, imagining two steel ingots crashing into each other.

“That’s the idea. I know I can’t win, but I want to see what he’s capable of,” Xie Peng said, scratching his head sheepishly.

“Senior Brother Xiong Li is a workaholic; he’s probably guarding the Steel Wall in the demon realm right now.”

“I’ll give you Senior Brother Xiong Li’s contact. When he returns, you can visit him.”

“Don’t be too formal when you meet him; just say you want to spar. Our Senior Brother is straightforward; he’ll appreciate your directness,” Xu Lingtai said with a smile, feeling like he had just survived a minor ordeal.

“Thank you for the advice, Friend Lingtai.”

“No need to be polite; we’re friends.”

…………

At that moment, Li Xingci and his family of three came to visit Xu Fan.

“Elder Su, long time no see~” Xu Fan greeted.

“I’ve been in seclusion, focusing on my technique, so I haven’t been around much,” Su Rantian replied.

“Ah, I see,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master, we’d like to visit the Elder Headquarters; Tian’er wants to retrieve something left there,” Li Xingci said.

“Is it urgent? If so, I can have Spirit Cut Elder take you there right now.”

“If it’s not urgent, we can wait until our sect’s new Star Ship is modified,” Xu Fan suggested.

“It’s not urgent. We mainly came to ask for your guidance for Chufan; he’s just starting his cultivation, and I’m worried he might go astray,” Li Xingci explained.

“Oh, you reminded me! Bring Chufan over another day; let him stay with me for a while,” Xu Fan said after a moment’s thought.

“Thank you, Master (Grand Elder),” Li Xingci and Su Rantian said respectfully.

“Why so formal? Chufan is my grandson, and I named him; it’s only right that I guide him,” Xu Fan laughed, thinking raising a child wouldn’t take long.

“Besides, your cultivation techniques and abilities aren’t suitable for Chufan; what if he learns the wrong things?”

“Master is right.”

And so, Xu Fan gained a little follower.

“Greetings, Master Ancestor,” Li Chufan, in his teens, said warmly, looking at Xu Fan.

“Rise. You’ll stay with your Master Ancestor for the next few years; how much you learn depends on you,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master Ancestor, I will study hard,” Li Chufan replied cheerfully.

“Let’s go; today, Master Ancestor will take you fishing.”

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a Small Spiritual Boat landed nearby.

On the surface of the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, a blue Dragon Egg darted around, with Li Chufan eagerly chasing after it.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan sat on a spirit turtle, calmly fishing, smiling as he watched Li Chufan chase the Dragon Egg in the distance.

“This is how a child should be.”

With a wave of Xu Fan’s hand, the Five Elements of Spiritual Energy gathered, forming over ten children about the same size as Li Chufan, who all joined in chasing the Dragon Egg.

This Dragon Egg was the one that had made a contract with Xu Fan, and today it had come out for a stroll.

At that moment, Spirit Cut Elder arrived on a spirit turtle not far from Xu Fan.

“It seems they don’t trust me to teach their grandson.”

Spirit Cut Elder’s tone was somewhat melancholic.

“Everyone has their specialty; Spirit Cut Elder should stick to fighting,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“When will our new Star Ship be ready?” Spirit Cut Elder asked.

“Once Brother Sha prepares the spirit ore alloy I need, it should take about four or five years,” Xu Fan calculated.

“There’s no fighting in the demon realm, and since the Star Ship is broken, we can’t go to the Extreme Void Domain to fight the Beast Race Warships.”

“Well, Spirit Cut Elder can go into seclusion and cultivate,” Xu Fan suggested.

“Seclusion isn’t as fun as finding a beast king to fight for my grandson’s celestial tool.”

Just then, the Heavy Water Source Blade flew over and landed in Spirit Cut Elder’s hand.

“Grandpa, please don’t let the Heavy Water Source Blade drink blood next time; it smells bad,” Li Chufan’s voice echoed.
