BXBX NOVEL Chapter 861: Chapter 834: Upgraded by Devil's Modification_1
Only now did he realize that its abilities were not as strong as he had imagined.
In a valley on Hidden Spirit Island filled with Spiritual Bamboo, 100 Iron-Eating Beasts began the initial stages of body refining, much to their dismay.
The chubby Iron-Eating Beasts, with their small bodies, struck various strange poses while practicing breathing exercises to strengthen their bodies.
Under the watchful eye of an Iron-Eating Beast Demon Venerable, no one dared to slack off. None of them moved out of place.
They all diligently practiced their cultivation techniques, all while shedding tears.
Near the Iron-Eating Beasts\' training site, several Vegetable Spirit Rabbits were preparing Spirit Food for the little Iron-Eating Beasts to replenish the energy they had lost during training.
Xu Fan found it amusing to watch, and so he did not disturb the little Iron-Eating Beasts\' training.
The Demon Venerable that was assigned to supervise the small Iron-Eating Beasts\' training respectfully bowed towards Xu Fan.
Finally, thanks to the relentless efforts of the little Iron Beasts, the first phase of the breathing exercises came to an end.
When the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Venerable announced that they could rest, the neatly arranged little Iron-Eating Beasts all promptly collapsed on the ground.
They crawled or rolled towards the Vegetable Spirit Rabbits, looking forward to the fresh, delicate bamboo shoots and specially prepared Hundred Beasts Spirit Milk.
At this moment, the small Iron-Eating Beast whom Xu Fan had accepted as an acknowledged disciple spotted him and immediately ran towards him, a look of grievance on its face.
The little Iron-Eating Beast flung itself onto Xu Fan\'s thigh, expressing all the injustices it had suffered during this period.
"Keep practicing well and you\'ll become a mighty Iron-Eating Beast," Xu Fan said, patting the little Iron-Eating Beast on the head.
The little Iron-Eating Beast, not wholly understanding, nodded anyway.
"Greetings to the Great Master," said the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Venerable, who had come to take over the shift and was basically acting as a babysitter.
"How have these little ones been progressing recently?" asked Xu Fan with a smile.
"Their foundation at the Foundation Establishment Stage is solid, they\'re ready to continue their cultivation."
"The Cultivation Technique that the Supreme provided is overwhelmingly powerful – even more profound than the technique our clan has passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Your disciples are indeed fortunate," the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Venerable respectfully said.
He held utmost respect for this most powerful being in the Cultivation World who, eager to recruit the Iron-Eating Beast Clan, had specially developed a Cultivation Technique suited for their tribe.
"That\'s good. They don\'t need to train so intensely every day. They must balance work and rest," Xu Fan said, looking at the little Iron-Eating Beasts feasting on their food in the distance.
"Understood."
The thought of a group of Iron-Eating Beasts leading the charge during Sect battles made Xu Fan smile slightly.
Panda face-riding, are you scared now?
Just as he was daydreaming about a bright future, he received a message from his No. 1 Clone.
Underground Space, The entire Hidden Spirit Island Spiritual Energy Core Room.
"Let\'s just leave it at that for now. The whole Hidden Spirit Island has already been significantly strengthened under this scale of Immortal Instrument Spirit Mine support. It\'s already very powerful."
"You two continue to upgrade and tweak things, but I doubt it\'ll be finished before Ascending," Xu Fan said, looking at No. 1 and No. 2 Clones and trying to persuade them.
The entire Hidden Spirit Island had already been upgraded twice, and she felt like she couldn\'t withstand another one.
"Let\'s revisit this idea after we Ascend to the Immortal Realm. After all, the resources consumed are massive."
Xu Fan spoke with a hint of helplessness in his voice. After all, the No. 1 and No. 2 Clones were both significant contributors, and he had to be careful with his words in case they decided to go on strike.
The No. 1 and No. 2 Clones once again tweaked the design of the Hidden Spirit Island.
If after the previous crafting of the Hidden Spirit Island it was just getting started as an Immortal Artifact, then it could overall be considered a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.
But now, clones No. 1 and No. 2 planned to forge the entire Hidden Spirit Island into an early-stage Immortal Artifact.
If they could manage that, the Immortal Instrument Spirit Mine consumption for the entire Hidden Spirit Island would be more than ten times greater than it was before.
This made Xu Fan, who had felt relaxed and comfortable during this period, feel pressured again.
What the hell, I got wrapped up by my own avatars.
"You\'re a supreme, and you can\'t even produce this stuff. Don\'t let me and No.1 look down on you."
No.1 and No.2 looked at Xu Fan as if looking at a lazy man in their own family who did nothing but show off snacks.
"You guys are making me feel so bad. The list you showed me earlier will probably take more than a dozen Middle Thousand Worlds to complete," Xu Fan said. He wanted to play it safe and put this issue aside until after the Immortal Realm.
"Whether you agree or not is up to you. Anyway, me and No.2 will refine based on this scale. If it\'s still a semifinished product by the time you ascend, don\'t blame us," said the No. 1 avatar.
"We don\'t mind the time it takes to refine the entire Hidden Spirit Island, but you\'re not happy when asked to get some celestial tools spirit ore?" No.2 also chimed in.
"Fine, I\'ll get it for you." Xu Fan looked at No.1 and No.2 and gritted his teeth.
"Upgrading the Hidden Spirit Island will also provide an extra safeguard in the Immortal Realm," No.1 clone said with a smile.
"Right, after ascending to the Immortal Realm, there will be more bigwigs."
"Who knows how many Golden Immortals and Daluo exist, any one of them we can\'t stand against," said No.2.
At these words, Xu Fan felt a sense of crisis not felt for a long time.
Indeed, after arriving in the Immortal Realm, I have to start leveling up again, become a low-level existence, and struggle again.
"Alright, I\'ll get it for you guys now." As he said this, Xu Fan disappeared.
In the cross-border transfer array, Xu Fan stared at the unlit points on the stone compass.
Initially, by a sheer stroke of luck, he activated the cross-border transfer array of the South Mountain World.
Afterward, Xu Fan experimented for quite a while but didn\'t light up the cross-border teleportation array coordinates a second time.
"How do I light this thing up? Supplementing it with fairy jade doesn\'t work," Xu Fan said, looking at the stone compass.
Then, Xu Fan took out various spiritual treasures with energy, none of which reacted after touching the compass.
After the fruitless experiment, Xu Fan returned to his small courtyard in frustration.
He wondered where to get so many Immortal Tool spirit ores.
"I can get some from the South Mountain World. That\'s a convergence point of more than a dozen Middle Thousand Worlds."
"I can also get some from the Ancient Green World, but the cycle is a bit long."
"But even these two places can\'t gather so many Immortal Tool spirit ores."
"Should I go directly to those Middle Thousand Worlds dominated by the Alien Races and hollow them out?"
"But the cause and effect of that would be great." Xu Fan couldn\'t help feeling a headache.
"Life, inevitably won\'t remain plain." Xu Fan said with a sigh.
Above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan fished from a Spirit Boat with a simple fishing rod.
He didn\'t seem as troubled as he was at the beginning.
"Master, is there anything this disciple can do for you?" Li Xingci asked.
Having been with her master for so many years, she could tell his mood at a glance.
"Your masters No.1 and No.2 want to upgrade the entire Hidden Spirit Island again. Now they need even more Immortal Tool spirit ores."
"From the current rate of resource collection, it will be far from enough by the time I ascend." Xu Fan said without looking up.
The winds on the Hundred Thousand Great Lake were initially high today.
But Xu Fan wanted some tranquility today, so the whole Linsen Immortal City region was windless and sunny, ten thousand miles of clear sky.
Even the Will of Heaven noticed that Xu Fan was in a bad mood and made a point to come over and greet him.
Xu Fan told the Will of Heaven about his troubles, but the response was one of indifference.
I regard you as a guest of honor, but you want to butcher me like a pig for the new year?
