In the Illusion Realm, Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian were facing the attacks of an endless horde of Demon Beasts. Xu Fan called it the Endless Challenge, its purpose being to let them see where their limits lay.

The Siblings retreated to the foot of a mountain, where they only needed to guard against Demon Beasts from one direction.

Xu Gang had completely transformed into an Artillery Platform. As he bombarded everything in sight, an almost imperceptible look of excitement appeared on his face.

Fire Bird Art, Explosive Flame Art, Fire Sea Art, Burning Wind Arrow Art, Fire Spear Art, Lava Rain Art—one barrage after another.

Xu Yuexian was like an elusive assassin. Whenever she found a Demon Beast that had broken through Xu Gang's bombardment of spells, she struck its vital point with a Golden Sword Art, then vanished like a gust of wind.

"Little sister, if you encounter Dragon Eye Hawks like last time, don't bother with them. Let them in and leave them to me."

"You just need to watch out for Blade Feather Birds hiding in the sky."

As Xu Gang spoke, he frantically bombarded the surrounding Demon Beasts with spells.

"Understood."

As time passed, the Siblings shifted through several Battlefields, while their enemies changed from mid-stage Qi Refining Demon Beasts to Qi Refining High Stage Demon Beasts.

"Little sister, watch out. The Dragon Eye Hawks are here."

Xu Gang's hands formed seals at lightning speed, and a terrifying surge of spiritual power burst forth from him.

More than ten Dragon Eye Hawks, each with wingspans exceeding thirty meters, swooped down upon Xu Gang.

"Come on, have a taste of the feast I prepared for you."

"Lava Waterfall!" Xu Gang poured out all the spiritual power in his body.

Above the Dragon Eye Hawks, a small lake made of magma appeared. A gap opened in it, and endless magma poured down like a waterfall, sweeping away every Dragon Eye Hawk in the sky.

At that moment, hundreds more Blade Feather Birds at Qi Refining Level Seven appeared in the sky. As they spread their wings, countless sharp feathers descended in a rain of blades.

"Little sister!" Xu Gang shouted. A mage out of spiritual power was little different from trash; all he could do was call for help.

A Metal-attribute shield protected Xu Gang.

A great net suddenly appeared around the attacking Blade Feather Birds in the sky, trapping every one of them.

"Brother, we've reached our Limit. Let's go."

Xu Yuexian immediately flew toward the Main Gate in the sky with Xu Gang. As long as they entered that gate, they could leave the Illusion Realm.

Outside the Illusion Realm, Xu Fan, who was studying spells, sensed something faintly. After probing the situation, he smiled.

"Not bad. You've improved compared to last time."

After waking from the Illusion Realm, the Siblings obediently came to Xu Fan's side.

"Master, how did we do this time?" Xu Gang asked anxiously. Last time, after the Siblings had been killed by a swarm of Demon Beasts in the Illusion Realm, Xu Fan had scolded them thoroughly.

"Mm. You advanced and retreated with restraint, and you knew to shift the Battlefield. Not bad."

"Xu Gang, you still lack finesse in controlling spiritual power. You wasted far too much spiritual power when casting spells."

"The synergy between your spells was terrible."

"For example, in battle, you often open with spells like Fire Bird Art and Explosive Flame Art. Haven't you noticed how quickly that burns through your spiritual power?"

"If you opened with Fire Sea Art, you could save at least a quarter of your spiritual power. Don't squander it recklessly just because you have plenty."

After Xu Fan gave them more pointers, he sent them back to their rooms to study the spells in the Jade Slips.

At that moment, Pang Fu happened to arrive.

"Here are one hundred bottles of High-grade Spirit Speed Pills and Wood Spirit Pills."

"Take the four custom Magic Artifacts with you as well."

Xu Fan directly handed Pang Fu a Storage Bag.

Pang Fu glanced at the Spiritual Pills and Magic Artifacts in the Storage Bag, and his face immediately broke into a smile.

"Master Xu, I know you've always been interested in the Floating Sky Vessel."

"I happen to have a quota to accompany a Floating Sky Vessel when it goes out to mine resources. Are you interested?" Pang Fu asked mysteriously.

Xu Fan's body, sprawled across the Recliner, instantly straightened.

"Really?" Xu Fan asked in surprise.

"Really. That belongs to an Inner Sect Elder. I found a Spirit Ore that was important to him, so I asked for this reward." Pang Fu smiled. Even if he did not come to collect the goods today, he would have had to come tomorrow.

"Awesome." Xu Fan praised.

"You used that reward to exchange for this quota. What do you want?" Xu Fan asked.

"There is indeed something. I wanted to ask whether Master Xu is still accepting disciples," Pang Fu said.

"If I meet someone I'm fond of, I'll consider it," Xu Fan said. Taking in a group of genius disciples to escort and protect him in the future was also one of Xu Fan's plans.

"Master Xu, one of my sons has Dual Spiritual Roots and is already three years old. Could he become your disciple?" Pang Fu asked ingratiatingly. He had seen Xu Fan's two disciples before. Once, when he came here to collect goods, he happened to see the Siblings sparring, and the sight had been especially earthshaking.

From then on, the thought of having Xu Fan take his son as a disciple had been buried in his heart, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to say it.

"One of your sons?" Xu Fan looked at Pang Fu, who was around his own age, and was instantly speechless. Why had every one of them gotten married and had children?

"You're married?"

"Before entering the Sect, I had already taken two concubines. After entering the Sect, I took another three. I now have four sons and three daughters," Pang Fu said.

"I..."

"Taking disciples isn't a transaction of benefits. Send your son with Dual Spiritual Roots over when he is six, but only if he passes my test."

"As for the Floating Sky Vessel, I owe you a favor." Xu Fan said sourly. This guy was already a father.

Xu Fan suddenly began to envy Pang Fu. Wives and concubines in droves—wasn't that every man's dream?

"Then could you sell me a set of Spiritual Power Armor?" Pang Fu rarely showed an embarrassed smile.

Wang Yulun and Xu Fan were close friends, so Pang Fu paid a little extra attention to Wang Yulun's affairs.

As for the Spiritual Power Armor, Wang Yulun's explanation to outsiders was that he had found it in some Ruins. But only Pang Fu knew that Xu Fan had forged that set of Spiritual Power Armor for him. Pang Fu had seen more than one in Xu Fan's Treasure Vault.

Someone outside had already offered five hundred thousand spirit stones to buy the set of Spiritual Power Armor Wang Yulun wore.

"It draws too much attention. If you auction it outside the Sect, forget it." Xu Fan shook his head. The Spiritual Power Armor was too powerful. If he really sold it, there would be a greater chance of exposure.

Xu Fan would not allow his peaceful life to be disturbed.

"Master Xu, what if this Spiritual Power Armor were auctioned within the territory of the Tai Xuan Sect?" Pang Fu asked. He had coveted the Spiritual Power Armor for a long time.

"Impressive. I never expected Senior Brother Pang's connections to run so wild." Xu Fan was surprised. The Tai Xuan Sect was a major Sect a million miles beyond the Heavenly Gate Sect, and its strength was equal to that of the Heavenly Gate Sect.

"If that's the case, then it's not impossible. As long as it remains confidential. As for how to handle it, that's up to you."

Two Spirit Pearls the size of billiard balls appeared in Xu Fan's hand. This was his modified second generation, which Xu Fan called the Transcendent Type II Armor.

"Press the ball against the center of your forehead, and you'll learn the armor's basic information."

"Of these two sets of Spiritual Power Armor, one is for you. Help me sell the other."

Xu Fan knew that the Spiritual Power Armor he forged could sell for five hundred thousand spirit stones, but compared to being able to board the Floating Sky Vessel ahead of time, it was all worth trading away.

The other two updates will be a little later. I'll try to finish them before midnight.
