Chapter 194: Chapter 193: The Story of the Middle-aged Cultivator

Translator: 549690339

A day later, the Void Refining human- shaped puppet of Hidden Spirit Sect flew out and headed towards Linsen Immortal City.

Afterwards, it used a teleportation array to transport to an unknown distance into Hehuan Xian City.

At this moment, Xu Fan was controlling the Void Refining puppet with an excited heart as he stepped into the Chamber of Commerce established by

Hehuan Holy Land.

Ten days later, the voice of Pu Tao resounded in Xu Fan's ear.

“Master, all twelve Demon Race transmission array disks near Tian Quan

Country have been destroyed.”

“But as soon as four demons came out of the teleportation array, their whereabouts became unknown. The base forms of those four demons are probably at the Integration Stage.”

“Speed up the refining process of the Sky-based Weapon Satellite and strengthen surveillance in the Lin Sen Immortal City Region.” Xu Fan said.

With four Integration Stage demons around Linsen Immortal City, they won't be able to cause any serious trouble.

At this moment, Xu Fan received the news that Su Rentian and his colleagues were visiting him.

Two streaks of escaping light flew directly into the gap opened by the Hidden Spirit Sect Mountain Lake Array.

In the Main Peak Dojo, Xu Fan and the middle-aged cultivator sat and drank tea as Su Rentian went to look for Li Xingci.

“Elder Xu, is it time to repair my spiritual sword now?”

The middle-aged cultivator took out a Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword and placed it in front of Xu Fan.

Xu Fan picked up the sword, looking at the many small cracks on it.

Well, it's definitely time to repair it.

“Has senior prepared the materials?” Xu Fan asked. When refining Dao tools, Refining Masters would usually save a little bit of material for future repairs if the tool was damaged.

“It's prepared.”

The middle-aged cultivator took out a small piece of Xuantai Steel and handed it to Xu Fan.

“Three days later, the senior can come and take the Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword.” Xu Fan looked at the small piece of Xuantai Steel in his hand and said.

At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator rubbed his hands and said to Xu

Fan somewhat ingratiatingly, “Elder Xu, you said my Dao Artifact Spiritual

Sword can be upgraded and strengthened.”

Xu Fan, having been prepared, took out a Jade Slip and said, “As soon as the senior has gathered the materials inside, 1 can upgrade this Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword for the senior.”

In fact, according to Xu Fan's opinion, it would be better to sell the Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword and buy new materials to refine another one. That's because this Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword really doesn't need to be upgraded. Even if it were upgraded, it would only be icing on the cake.

The middle-aged cultivator looked at the materials in the Jade Slip, and his

heart trembled, followed by a bitter smile.

“What's the matter, senior?” Xu Fan asked.

“The materials here cost tens of billions of spirit stones, and I'm afraid 1 won't be able to afford it for a while.'

“It seems my spiritual sword cannot be upgraded.” The middle-aged cultivator sighed and said.

This Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword had accompanied him for a hundred years, and it was hard to find a Refining Master who met his requirements. But now, he couldn't even afford the materials for the upgrade.

Somehow, Xu Fan glimpsed an expression on the middle-aged cultivator's face that seemed to be crushed by life.

“Senior, as an Integration Stage cultivator, why …………………..?” Xu Fan didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

“Why am 1 so poor, unable to even afford such a small amount of spirit stones, right?” The middle-aged cultivator said with a bitter smile.

Xu Fan nodded his head.

“Are you willing to listen to my story?” The middle-aged cultivator said. After spending some time together, he felt that he got along well with Elder Xu, and his secret, which isn't too confidential, could be shared.

“Please go ahead, senior. I'd be happy to lend a listening ear,” Xu Fan said. Although they were equal in their standing, the Cultivation World was a place where strength spoke for itself.

However, the middle-aged cultivator's opening statement seemed strangely familiar to him.

As the middle-aged cultivator recounted his story, Xu Fan gradually understood why this seemingly glamorous Integration Stage Sword Cultivator was so poor, to the extent of bargaining the initial one hundred million spirit stone maintenance fee.

The middle-aged cultivator's story, in modern terms, was that he once had a happy family, but then his wife suddenly got attacked by a villain and became a vegetable. It wasn't an ordinary vegetable-like state, either. To maintain her vitality, she had to use expensive medicine every day. The daily cost was equivalent to the money an ordinary person would make in a lifetime.

Fortunately, the man's earnings could barely cover the expenses, but he couldn't afford anything else on top of that.

After hearing the middle-aged cultivator's story, Xu Fan slowly breathed out a

“With senior's status as a member of the Elders Association, one of the Mahayana Period Venerables who specializes in Life Avenue should have examined your wife, right?” Xu Fan asked.

“Yes, the Esteemed One who specializes in Life Avenue said…

“To wake my wife, a large number of Life Spirit Crystals are needed, and these are only found in the Demon World.”

“But even if I had them, with my financial situation, I still couldn't afford them,” the middle-aged cultivator said.

Hearing this, Xu Fan let out a slow sigh. Indeed, in this world, there's only one kind of sickness.

Xu Fan was about to offer comfort, but he knew that men like this don't need to be comforted. A simple encouraging look would suffice.

“Senior, if someone can cure your wife, how will you repay them?” Xu Fan asked.

“I'll swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to be loyal to my benefactor.” The middle-aged cultivator said without hesitation and looked at Xu Fan with an expectant gaze.

“Could it be that Elder Xu is able to find a large number of Life Spirit Crystals?”

“That's not the case. I was just thinking that at this unique time when the two realms are merging, perhaps in the near future, someone from the Human

Clan will obtain what senior needs.'

“By that time, senior just needs to have the spirit stones ready,” Xu Fan said.

At this time, the middle-aged cultivator's face turned bitter once again. All the talk led back to the original problem.

“Senior, there are many ways to earn spirit stones. If the Elders Association approves, you can serve as a guest elder in the Hidden Spirit Sect.”

“In the future, there will be a few big money-making opportunities that require senior's assistance,” Xu Fan said.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, he would be able to refine a sea boat that could travel freely in the Endless Sea, and he wanted this middle-aged cultivator to be the helmsman.

Not for any other reason, but in this complicated cultivation world, a man who remains loyal to his wife mustn't have any ill intentions.

“You pity me,” the middle-aged cultivator frowned and said.

“Senior, we're friends, right?” Xu Fan asked.

“Yes.

“l need a Nascent Soul cultivator to cooperate with me in several big ventures to earn spirit stones, and senior is the only Nascent Soul cultivator I can get along with.”

“Senior needs spirit stones, and I need a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it's quite reasonable.” Xu Fan spread his hands and said.

“l can accept the position of a guest elder in the Hidden Spirit Sect.” The middle-aged cultivator nodded.

“Great, the Hidden Spirit Sect will provide one hundred million spirit stones every year, and there will be great rewards for any troubles you encounter.” Xu Fan said.

The middle-aged cultivator nodded. Although the spirit stones provided were a bit high, they were still within the market price.

“Pu Tao,” Xu Fan called out.

“I'm here

“Select a peak for senior to rest in.” Xu Fan ordered.

“Yes, sir.”

“If senior is not in a hurry, you can wait another three days.” Xu Fan said.

“Alright, I'm not on duty recently, so I might as well wait for you to fix my spiritual sword before leaving.” The middle-aged cultivator nodded.

After that, Xu Fan arranged for a tool puppet to lead the middle-aged cultivator to the welcoming peak, which was specifically used to entertain guests.

In the underground space, Xu Fan looked at the first and second avatars who were working hard.

At this time, the task of refining the God Transformation Stage heavy armored puppet was nearing completion.

“Main body, 1 don't have time to do other things now, you'll have to figure something out yourself,” the first avatar said while looking at the spiritual sword in his hand.

“Unless you add another half step to the novel,” the second avatar chimed in.

“You guys take your time, I'll do this myself.”

Xu Fan was now considering a question: if in the future he only gives the novel to the half-step, will these two avatars rebel?

In the underground space refining room, Xu Fan sacrificed the long-unused spiritual fire to start repairing this most basic Dao artifact spiritual sword.

Upon seeing the craftsmanship of this sword, Xu Fan remembered his first magical treasure, a spiritual sword named Tongyou.

“Sigh, I've never seen such a pathetic Nascent Soul cultivator.”

While saying this, Xu Fan completely devoted himself to repairing the Dao artifact spiritual sword.

Elsewhere, in a field of flowers in front of the main peak of Hidden Spirit Island.

Su Rentian and Li Xingci strolled through the field, with Su Rentian acting like a little girl, secretly glancing at Li Xingci.

She found herself falling deeper and deeper for Li Xingci.

“Star Ci, tell me about your past.” Su Rentian said.

“There's not much to tell. My dad passed away before I was born, and my mom passed away when I was two years old.”

“Then my master took me in, and I've been with him ever since,” Li Xingci said indifferently.

“Star Ci, from now on, besides your master, I will also accompany you.”

Su Rentian slowly moved closer to Li Xingci, planning to take advantage of the situation.

“You know, I don't have feelings for you right now,” Li Xingci said. Is the power of Hundred Desires Dao's emotion so great?

“l know, as long as you know that I like you, that's enough.”

Su Rentian moved closer to Li Xingci, suddenly attacked and hugged Li Xingci tightly, and pressed her face against Li Xingci's chest.

Li Xingci wanted to struggle to break free but soon found a cruel reality – he couldn't break free.

“Can I call you Tian'er?”

Su Rentian's voice was sweet, and her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Li Xingci.

“Aren't we moving a bit too fast?” Li Xingci said and tried to break free again, but still couldn't.

“It's not fast. If Star Ci is willing, we can have our bridal chamber tonight,” Su

Rentian said with a blushed face.

Li Xingci was at a loss for words.

“Um, Elder Su, could you let go of me first?” Li Xingci said.

Su Rentian rubbed her face on Li Xingci's chest without saying a word.

Li Xingci was helpless. He couldn't win a fight, she wouldn't listen to him, and he couldn't scold her. Li Xingci could only think to himself that he would be able to endure this for several thousand years.

“Tian'er, let go.” Li Xingci said softly. To be honest, he wasn't used to it.

“l didn't hear that.” Su Rentian pretended to be sulky.

“Tian'er, let go,” Li Xingci spoke a little louder.

“Alright.” Su Rentian said coyly, then looked at Li Xingci's handsome face with an expectant expression.

“How can I resist giving you a kiss?”
