Moving House Comes with a Surprise

Just as Xu Fan was studying how to refine this batch of Magic Treasures, a flying sword formed from spiritual power appeared outside Xu Fan's Forbidden Barrier.

Xu Fan waved a hand to dispel the Light Shadow Art, then opened the Forbidden Barrier and let the flying sword enter.

"Damn it, has Protagonist Ye taken a liking to me or what?"

"No, after I pick up my disciples tomorrow, I'm moving." Xu Fan gritted his teeth. "Coming to visit me, my ass. Hasn't he screwed me over badly enough already?"

The next day, Xu Fan found his two disciples outside the Teaching Hall, though they looked nothing like he had imagined.

Xu Gang stood miserably in front of Xu Yuexian, his face swollen beyond recognition. Across from him, a Little Black Fatty of ten-odd years old faced off against Xu Gang with five or six children his own age.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes as he watched from the side, as though he were merely watching children fight.

"This kid isn't one to take a beating lying down either." Xu Fan looked at Little Black Fatty's two blackened eyes. The children around Little Black Fatty also had injuries on their faces.

"Xu Gang, Xu Yuexian, you two siblings listen up."

"If you don't submit to me, Dong Hei, then every time I see you from now on, I'll beat you up."

"My master told me that I have a Hunyuan Battle Body. Once I cultivate immortality, I'll definitely become even more formidable."

"When that time comes, I'll beat you however I want."

Xu Gang looked at Dong Hei and said only one thing.

"Do you dare fight me one-on-one?"

"When a group can beat you, why should I fight you one-on-one?" Dong Hei looked at Xu Gang with disdain, but a flicker of fear passed through his eyes. This kid struck far too viciously; he definitely would not gain anything by fighting him alone.

"So this is the Hunyuan Battle Body." Xu Gang's eyes were full of contempt.

Xu Fan nearly laughed out loud from the side. Was this still his simple-minded eldest disciple?

At that moment, Xu Fan walked toward them.

"Xu Gang, Yuexian, someone's bullying you?" Xu Fan deliberately put on a stern expression as he looked toward Dong Hei and the others.

The moment Dong Hei saw Xu Fan arrive, his eyes spun around once. He immediately led his lackeys and scattered in all directions.

"Ah! A cultivator is bullying people!" Dong Hei shouted as he ran.

"This Little Black Fatty is really sly as a fox."

Xu Fan did not ask why they had fought. Instead, he first checked the siblings' injuries. Xu Gang had only superficial wounds, while Xu Yuexian was completely fine.

"Not bad. You've got a bit of a man's spirit."

A gentle stream of Wood Attribute spiritual power struck Xu Gang's body, and the swelling on his face slowly began to fade.

"Cultivate well. You can get revenge later." Xu Fan spoke gently. It was perfectly normal for children to fight.

Seeing that Xu Fan was not angry, the two siblings let out a breath of relief.

"Mm-hm, Master, I'll cultivate well. One day, I'll definitely beat Little Black Fatty's face swollen."

"I'll cultivate well too. Then I'll help Brother beat up Little Black Fatty." Xu Yuexian's determined expression made Xu Fan observe a moment of silence for that Little Black Fatty.

Xu Fan smiled as he watched the two siblings, so close to one another.

After Xu Fan brought the siblings back to Small Hilltop, he began preparing to move.

An hour later, Xu Fan held five Storage Bags and looked over the empty mountain peak.

"Come on, I'll take you to choose our new home."

After speaking, Xu Fan directly flew with the siblings toward a special area in the Outer Sect.

The Political Affairs Hall. Outer Sect Disciples had to register here and select a site before relocating.

Xu Fan and the siblings were selecting a site from a Light Shadow sand table.

"Yuexian, where do you think we should move? It would be best if it were a little concealed." Xu Fan's difficulty in making choices had flared up again.

"Here. Not only is it spacious, it's also concealed."

Xu Yuexian pointed toward an area near the edge of the Outer Sect barrier.

Xu Fan followed the direction of Xu Yuexian's finger, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Good. We'll move there."

After Xu Fan finished the paperwork, he brought the siblings to the place Xu Yuexian had selected.

"Not bad. The entire mountain top has nearly a hundred mu of usable space. Other than being a bit far from the main peak, everything else is fine." Xu Fan looked over the area, which had already formed into a forested mountain top.

Two Spirit Birds flew from Xu Fan's hand. One flew toward Wang Yulun's mountain peak, while the other flew toward the Merchant Guild where Pang Fu was.

"Mm, let's start tidying up. We can have the rooms built by tonight."

"Xu Gang, Yuexian, watch carefully. This is your master's unique secret art."

Two small Spirit Pearls refined from Soul Iron appeared in Xu Fan's hand, one Earth Attribute and one Wood Attribute.

"Secret Art: Living Being Summoning."

One Spirit Pearl flew into the earth, while the other flew into the forest.

The forest began to gather together, while a vortex appeared in the ground.

Before long, two humanoid giants five meters tall appeared, both possessing Foundation Establishment Strength.

"See? These are your master's latest research results. Once you reach the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, you can learn this."

The siblings looked at Xu Fan with worship in their eyes.

At this point, the two Puppet giants Xu Fan had summoned had already begun working.

The Wood Attribute Giant cleared an open space of more than fifty mu, while the Earth Attribute Giant leveled the entire mountain peak into a flat expanse.

In only an hour, the entire mountain peak had become exactly as Xu Fan wanted it.

The two giants had now grown to over ten meters tall. Just as Xu Fan was about to have them materialize materials and build houses, two Flying Lights streaked toward the mountain peak where Xu Fan was.

"Damn, they got here pretty fast." Xu Fan looked at the Flying Lights in the distance.

"Brother Xu, why did you suddenly move?" Wang Yulun looked at the two huge giants under construction.

"Didn't I take in two disciples? With more people around, I needed to move somewhere bigger." Xu Fan answered casually. He could hardly say he had moved specifically to avoid Protagonist Ye.

"Then congratulations, Brother Xu, on moving into your new home."

As Wang Yulun spoke, he took out a piece of Soul Iron as large as a millstone as a congratulatory gift for Xu Fan.

"Brother Xu, this is our gift for you." Murong Qian'er said with a smile.

Xu Fan was crouched beside the Soul Iron, staring at it intently, his eyes filled with delight.

"This piece of Soul Iron is worth at least five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If you find someone in urgent need of it, you could sell it for more than seven hundred thousand."

"Are you sure you want to give this piece of Soul Iron to me?" Xu Fan looked at the two of them seriously. He was desperately short on Soul Iron. Soul Iron could contain souls and preserve their spirituality from dissipating; that was its most precious quality.

"Yes, we're sure we want to give it to Brother Xu." The husband and wife answered firmly.

"Alright, then let's go inside and talk."

After speaking, Xu Fan formed a Hand Seal, and two streaks of Spiritual Light entered the two giants respectively.

The Earth Attribute Giant suddenly broke apart, transforming into many small Earth Attribute giants.

The little giants ran to the locations Xu Fan indicated, then transformed into room after room.

In an instant, a Farmhouse Courtyard appeared before everyone. The Wood Attribute Giant transformed into even more little wooden decoys, which ran into the rooms and turned into furnishings.

"Brother Xu, are you a Nascent Soul Big Shot? Spirit Control Materialization is a method of the Nascent Soul Stage." Murong Qian'er said in astonishment.

"Yeah, I was wondering why Brother Xu had always been so formidable. So he had been hiding his strength." Wang Yulun said.

"Bullshit. This is merely a method from some Ancient Spells. I'll teach you if you want to learn it later."

The Nascent Soul Stage? That would have to wait another five hundred years.
