While the siblings were in the illusion for their trial, Xu Fan began to perceive his own body.
“Although I eventually devoured the Dead Soul Insect, I still lost almost half of my soul power.”
“The burden on my spiritual power and mind power has increased, and it will take at least half a year to recuperate.”
Xu Fan was not too concerned about his injuries, as long as he could recover, it was not a permanent damage.
“First, set a small target: not to leave the sect within ten years.”
“Also, stay away from Zhu Jiao.”
Xu Fan waved his hand and released a set of tea utensils, taking out a jar of spirit tea that had a calming effect on the mind.
He poured spirit water into the teapot, and a small flame appeared at the bottom of the teapot.
“When I go back, I must refine more puppet beasts; otherwise, it will be too insecure if I really have to go out.”
Drinking tea while pondering future matters.
At this moment, an old man with a half-bag of millet in his hand and a worried look came to the little boy’s home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Fan drinking tea and was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down.
A gentle force gently caught the old man.
“Old man, you don’t need to kneel. You are my lifesaver, and I should be grateful to you.” Xu Fan spoke gently. He already understood the cause and effect of the situation.
“It’s my fortune to save an immortal.” The old man hurriedly said, his heart beginning to rejoice.
The immortal’s attitude had confirmed that he had bet correctly.
“You saved me, and I should repay you. That’s cause and effect.”
“What do you want?” Xu Fan asked slowly. He did not have a condescending attitude towards worldly people; everyone was just a pawn in the game, even immortals could not live forever.
“I have no children, I just wish to live out the rest of my life peacefully and healthily with my old wife.”
Without much hesitation, the old man directly expressed what he wanted the most.
Xu Fan looked at the old man appreciatively, a very practical and reasonable request.
A longevity pill appeared in Xu Fan’s hand. If a mortal can live without illness or disaster, the pill will extend their life by 10 years. When Xu Fan took the alchemy task, he made an extra bottle, and he didn’t expect it to be useful now.
“In the bottle, there are ten Longevity Pills. You and your partner can take one every two years.”
“Now go home and pack up. When the two children wake up, you will accompany me to the Heavenly Gate, and I will make arrangements for
someone to take care ot you.” Xu Fan said. Halt a month had passed, and he did not know the situation at the sect.
“Immortal, these two children are…” The old man asked, looking at the unconscious siblings.
“They are receiving the inheritance to become an immortal.” Xu Fan casually replied.
“Oh, then I’ll go pack up first.’
Not long after the old man left the little boy’s house, the little boy woke up first.
Xu Fan looked at the little boy with satisfaction. Although his aptitude was not great, his unwavering loyalty, care for friends, and protection of family impressed Xu Fan.
In the illusion, the little boy faced various tests related to human nature. His pure heart deeply moved Xu Fan.
A complex expression flashed through the little boy’s eyes, and then a hand imbued with white light touched the boy’s head.
“You are a good child.”
After a short while, the little boy fell asleep again.
“Everything will be different when you wake up.”
Xu Fan settled the little boy and then looked at the little girl with a slightly surprised expression.
“What a great material for cultivating immortality!” Xu Fan exclaimed. The little girl’s performance in the illusion was indeed dazzling.
In Xu Fan’s words, she was like a female version of Han Tianzun, knowing what she wanted and what she could do. She had a kind heart but was not saintly, and had a huge wealth without being ostentatious. She was bold and fearless, yet meticulous and careful.
The only thing she lacked compared to Zhu Jiao was a golden finger.
The little girl gradually woke up and without saying a word, followed the same routine as the little boy.
“What a good pair of siblings. In the future, Master will rely on you two for support. ”
Xu Fan carried one child in each arm and left the cabin.
A small Lingfeng Boat emerged from Xu Fan’s body, landing not far away on flat ground and transforming into a ten-meter-long Spirit Boat.
An old man and an old woman hurried over.
After arranging everyone, Xu Fan waved his hand, and the Lingfeng Boat flew towards the Heavenly Gate.
At the Heavenly Gate, outside the restriction of Xu Fan’s little hill, Wang Yulun sat with a dejected look.
After learning about Xu Fan’s misfortune from Ye Xiaoyao, Wang Yulun returned to the sect and guarded this place.
“Brother Xu, I’m sorry.”
“You have such a cautious character, but the one time you were willing to come out for my wedding, you didn’t arrive first.” Wang Yulun’s face was bitter. Although Ye Xiaoyao had said that Xu Fan did not die, Wang Yulun still felt guilty, and there was a bit of resentment towards Ye Xiaoyao for insisting on Xu Fan coming along.
At this moment, a beautiful figure flew to Wang Yulun’s side.
A bowl of porridge and several small dishes were placed in front of Wang
Yulun.
“My husband, with Brother Xu’s exceptional talent, he must be fine.”
“Perhaps he is somewhere healing right now, and when he is healed, he might return.” Murong Qian’er looked at the thin Wang Yulun with a heartache. “You don’t need to comfort me, I just feel guilty.”
“I’ve known Brother Xu since I first joined the sect and never seen him leave. I didn’t expect him to come this time to my wedding…
“Qian’er, I will wait here for another half month. I owe Brother Xu a red envelope, and I want to give it to him personally.” Wang Yulun said. In his heart, Xu Fan had already become his second benefactor. If it weren’t for him, he would probably still be an ordinary Outer Disciple.
“Alright, I’ll wait with my husband.”
At the same time, in an Immortal City outside the Heavenly Gate, Xu Fan arranged for the two elders to stay in the Pang Family Trading Company’s inn and told them that someone would be there to take care of them. Outside the Heavenly Gate, the Outer Sect’s Administration Hall.
Xu Fan brought the curious siblings to a grand hall.
“Senior Brother, I came to register as their master.”
Xu Fan handed his identity token to the deacon in front of him.
“Do you understand the disciple recruitment standards?” The deacon asked while glancing at Xu Fan’s identity token.
“Understood, the minimum requirement is Four Spiritual Roots.” Xu Fan replied.
“Alright, you will provide all the resources for your disciples, and if you entrust the sect with their cultivation, it’s 2000 Spirit Stones per person.”
“Additionally, if your disciples want to enter the Heavenly Gate, they must reach the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of 40.”
“If the disciple is outstanding, the sect also offers rewards.” The deacon looked at Xu Fan with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
Generally, the masters who took disciples were those cultivators who had no hope of promotion, no relatives or friends, and had their Great Limit approaching. They didn’t want their legacy to disappear, so they found a disciple with whom they had a connection in the outside world, and the sect encouraged them to do so.
“If you understand all of this, you can take your disciples to test their spiritual roots, and then head to the Questions-and-Answers Temple.”
“Once everything is completed, come back here to receive the identity tokens.”
“Thank you, Deacon.”
Xu Fan led the two children to the place where the Spiritual Root test was held..
