Upon seeing Shi Zhan’s expression, Feng Changning realized that her own expression had gone a bit overboard.

So Feng Changning resumed her usual indifferent expression.

“How are you doing as an Outer Elder in the Hidden Spirit Sect?” Feng Changning changed the topic.

“Pretty good, the Great Master treats me well, and top divine abilities and cultivation techniques are open to me. As long as I have Contribution Points, I can exchange them.” Shi Zhan replied.

With the top divine abilities and cultivation techniques of the Cultivation

World, Shi Zhan’s strength greatly increased, and he had already touched the Nascent Soul Stage realm, making up for the shortfall when ascending to the Cultivation World.

“That’s good, our talent in the Cultivation World is considered middle to upper-level. There is still a chance for us to become immortals in the future,” Feng Changning said.

In her eyes, whether she could become an immortal was not very important; her life had always been about climbing higher. When she was young, she vowed to become the most esteemed person in the world.

“Come on, let’s go. I’ll take you to some interesting places during the month before we meet the Great Master,” Shi Zhan said with a smile.

Looking at the woman he could never have, Shi Zhan decided to continue protecting her like he did in the past.

“Alright.”

A month later, a mysterious fluctuation spread throughout the underground space.

Xu Fan wore a face of valor as he prepared to die. While refining the two Pu Tao brothers, he kept thinking about how to solve the feedback issue when successfully refining Dao Tools.

Otherwise, he would have to suffer from near-death experiences every time in the future. But he had been thinking about it for months and still couldn’t find a solution to the problem.

A marvelous force surged into Xu Fan’s body, releasing both a painful and comfortable sound.

The comfort was genuine, and the pain was for the experience that followed. With Xu Fan’s realm rising, it soon reached the Golden Core Stage critical point, just a step away from advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage. Of course, this only applied to others.

As the force surged in more intensely, Xu Fan clenched his eyes in pain, waiting for the agony to follow.

Just then, the mysterious force helped Xu Fan break through a little, but without succeeding. It seemed to retreat quietly like a gentle man, without causing any trouble for Xu Fan.

It took a long time before Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and sensed his body’s condition. He exclaimed in surprise, “The bug has been fixed?”

“It seems Heavenly Dao’s wisdom is quite high,” Xu Fan said, smiling.

His previously sinking heart quietly began to liven up again.

In a moment, Xu Fan felt that everything in the world was beautiful.

“Let’s rest for a month,” Xu Fan said impatiently, leaving the underground space.

Above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan rode the Spirit Boat, drifting in the lake with the wind.

“Congratulations, fellow Feng, on finding an ideal location,” Xu Fan said as he looked at the map marked by Feng Changning.

“This place is at a moderate distance from the Central Continent and is not under the jurisdiction of other continents. It’s considered a semi-wilderness area, but it also has some value.’

“With fellow Fengs cultivation level, it’s more than enough to occupy a territory there.”

“As long as it’s not targeted by demonic cultivators or demonic beasts, it’s bound to be foolproof,” Xu Fan gave his opinion on the location

“Great Master, you are insightful; 1 found that giant island after a long search. I hope you can assist me,” Feng Changning said as she stood up and bowed.

“How would fellow Feng like me to help you?” Xu Fan asked, smiling.

“Spirit Stones, Magical Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and Divine Abilities – I want to establish a dynasty where immortals and mortals coexist,” Feng Changning said firmly. Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m

“Isn’t it a bit unrealistic for a Golden Core Stage fellow like you to speak of a dynasty where immortals and mortals coexist?”

“Isn’t a dynasty that can be destroyed by any great power cultivator a bit ridiculous?” Xu Fan said casually.

“Cultivate Merit and protect oneself,” Feng Changning said. Besides the giant island suitable for her to establish her base, the most important gain for her was the inheritance of this sentence.

“In this world, it’s hard for Merit and Qi Fortune to work together.”

“However, now that the two realms are merging, there might be a chance in the future,” Xu Fan suddenly thought of something and then said.

“So, Changning would like to ask the Great Master for guidance and assistance,” Feng Changning said, looking at Xu Fan with expectant eyes.

“What will I get?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

“Merit, and a subsidiary of the Hidden Spirit Sect,” Feng Changning said.

“A generation of emperors willing to submit to others? Your proposal doesn’t work.’

“Only merit makes sense.”

“Alright, merit, and 20% of your empire’s annual revenue.”

“If you agree, I will give you a large amount of resources and spirit stones to help you establish your kingdom,” Xu Fan said leisurely.

“Agreed,” Feng Changning agreed without hesitation.

Shortly after, the two signed the top-tier Heavenly Contract.

“Alright, to show my sincerity, I’ll lend you this Dao Tool for some time. It will help you with some data processing in the early stages,” Xu Fan said, taking out the newly refined No.2 Pu Tao.

“Help you manage some magical treasures and puppets, process data, and help me monitor the state and development of your empire.”

“So my boring life won’t be so dull,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Already in his mind, he began to plan the first episode of the Empress’s entrepreneurial project – he had even thought of a name for it: ‘The Empress’s First Round Angel Investment’.

“No problem,” Feng Changning agreed.

“Okay, early on I’ll assist you with 100,000 Golden Core Period Puppets and corresponding weapons to ensure your safety.”

“Additionally, 10,000 sets of Heavy Armor Standard Magical Artifacts, 100 tools for detecting spiritual roots, and 20 sets of basic Five Element cultivation techniques that can be practiced up to the Golden Core Stage.”

“I’ll also have my sect’s Chamber of Commerce set up a branch in your area to facilitate the procurement of supplies.”

“Mind you, it’s best to appear as a sect in the early stages.”

“Although your place is secluded, it’s not a world apart – the Elders Association has undercover operatives in that area.”

“Understood, thank you for the reminder, fellow,” Feng Changning replied with a bow.

“Alright, that’s it. You go ahead and establish your sect over there,” Xu Fan uttered.

“Fellow, we shall meet again if fate allows.”

Afterward, Feng Changning disappeared into the horizon with the resources Xu Fan had prepared for her.

“Pu Tao, isn’t it a coincidence that your brother was taken away not long after he came out?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

While refining the weakened version of Pu Tao, Xu Fan had produced two of them at once – this was something he had planned in advance.

“Having Pu Tao by Master’s side is enough,” Pu Tao’s electronic voice, which hadn’t changed in ten thousand years, showed a slight trace of fluctuation.

“Having more brothers or sisters like you in magical treasures would be a waste.”

Pu Tao’s words made Xu Fan laugh – it seemed that Pu Tao now had his own little thoughts.

“Alright, watch the house well; I’m going out for a while.”

“Yes, sir.”

This time, Xu Fan mainly wanted to see what Zhu Jiao’s golden finger was like.

He just wanted to simply appreciate it.
