Chapter 531: Chapter 504: Shadow

“Forget it, it’s more important to focus on my closed-door cultivation.” Xu Fan said.

With his current merit and fortune, as long as he doesn’t act recklessly, he should generally be fine.

As for those who mention him, they will know later.

The moment Xu Fan prepared for his closed-door cultivation, his disciples and the elders of the Hidden Spirit Sect all got to know that Xu Fan had officially started his seclusion.

“First, I’ll undergo closed-door cultivation for some time. I guess my good brother’s 100-fold return promotion will be here soon.” Xu Fan said while closing his eyes and starting to cultivate and enlighten himself.

As a result, Xu Fan’s cultivation was only sustained for three days, and it was disrupted by the arrival of the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“You want me to help you refine a starship?” Xu Fan confirmed once again.

“Yes, the last time I went to the Vast Void Domain, I intercepted the Demon Clan, who had just collected a large spirit mine star. The Dao Artifact Spirit Ore in it could be used to refine at least two starships,” the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said with a smile.

Xu Fan was taken aback because the plot seemed so familiar.

“When did the Esteemed One encounter this?”

“Did you not encounter the giant tortoise?” Xu Fan asked.

“What giant tortoise? At that time, I only saw the five Demon Clan Giant Beast Warships pulling that spirit mine star in the Vast Void Domain.”

“This incident happened almost two years ago, right?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said.

“Three months ago, I also encountered a giant beast warship dragging an ultra-huge star spirit mine, but a Vast Void giant tortoise was guarding it. It almost stepped on my starship.” Xu Fan said leisurely, now having a rough idea of why the giant tortoise appeared.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect laughed. It turned out that the Demon Clan had learned to hire escorts after their losses.

“Great Master, will you take this job?”

“I am not in a hurry for the starship. You can refine both of them at once.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said.

Now, together with the new starship exchanged from the Elders Association, the Thousand Spirit Sect already has three starships, which could be considered a fleet.

A piece of Dao Artifact level Spirit Ore was refined and appeared in the hand of the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“Thousand Star Profound Iron, it’s quite a coincidence. It’s perfect for crafting the main body of a starship.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect handed the sample of the spirit ore in his hand to Xu Fan.

“What a lucky coincidence.” Xu Fan looked at the Thousand Star Profound Iron with a slightly sour tone.

Why did I encounter a giant tortoise when I came across it?

“Esteemed One, I will take on this job. At least 50 years and at most 100 years, by that time, I guarantee to deliver a starship that you will be satisfied with.” Xu Fan thought for a moment and said. He cannot refuse the business that came to his door.

“The time is a bit long, but it is acceptable. I hope that by the time, Great Master can give me a big surprise.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said with anticipation.

“Rest assured, my artifact refining skills, don’t you know Esteemed One?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

When the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect handed over all the Thousand Star Profound Iron, he drove the Thousand Spirit Starship away from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“I didn’t expect to get a job as soon as I closed the door.” Xu Fan looked in the direction where the Thousand Spirit Starship disappeared and said.

“Do I have a job now?” Number One Clone appeared beside Xu Fan.

“Not only do you have a job, but it’s also a big one. Refining two starships at once, can you handle it?” Xu Fan looked at the Number One Clone and grinned.

“So the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect found a treasure in the starry sky. He suddenly became so generous.” Number One Clone was puzzled.

“The Thousand Star Profound Iron given by the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect is enough to refine two starships.”

“The other one is our reward. How about that? Isn’t it a surprise?”

“You can refine a starship for our Hidden Spirit Sect so quickly.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

At this time, Number One Clone didn’t show much reaction. He just nodded lightly after hearing Xu Fan’s words.

“There is nothing to be excited about. If you want to refine the starship quickly, should we go out and catch a few Demon Race Refining Grandmasters?” Number One Clone thought for a while and said.

“The Demon Clan around us only has the Saint Lion Clan with Refining Grandmasters. As for the places further away, I don’t know how long it would take to get there.” Xu Fan said.

“Then the starship can only be refined slowly.”

“If it is done slowly, then do it slowly. As long as it can be refined within 100 years, it is enough.” Xu Fan said.

“Fortunately, we can use the Dao Artifact level Spirit Ore we got from the Vast Void Domain. Add everything you can think of.”

“Number Two is working in the Vast Void Domain to earn spirit ores. You are at home using spirit ores to refine starships. What a perfect combination.” Xu Fan said.

“What about you? What are you going to do?” The Number One Clone had a look on his face that said you wouldn’t sit idly by without doing anything.

“I’m going to close the door, follow my heart, and respond to the heavens. In short, everything points to the option that I should be in closed-door cultivation.” Xu Fan said seriously.

“Closed door, avoiding disaster or chance?” Number One Clone asked.

“Both, I guess?” Xu Fan nodded.

“Fine, you stay home and have a good closed-door cultivation. Leave the starship refining to me.” Number One Clone said.

After the Number One Clone left, Xu Fan turned around and walked back into his closed-door hut.

“There shouldn’t be any more incidents, right?” Xu Fan said while slowly closing the door of the hut.

“What exactly makes me feel like I must close the door?” Xu Fan said with some confusion.

At this moment, a shadow appeared in front of Xu Fan. He and Xu Fan looked exactly alike.

“Haven’t you ever considered that it could be because of your Heart Demon?” The shadow said with a somewhat hideous expression.

Xu Fan looked at the shadow in front of him indifferently, with a feeling that he had finally appeared.

“Ever since my first trip to the Vast Void Domain, you were born in my consciousness. I originally wanted to cultivate you well, but I didn’t expect you to jump out on your own now.” Xu Fan said as if he had known it was going to happen.

“I am your Heart Demon. Aren’t you afraid of me at all?” The Xu Fan-like shadow stared at him with an expression that seemed like it would devour him.

“Don’t exaggerate yourself. My Heart Demon is not as picky as you.”

“If you were my Heart Demon, wouldn’t you be negotiating with me on how to coexist now?” Xu Fan looked at the shadow, who looked like him, with an expression of disdain.

Xu Fan’s words left the shadow confused.

“At first, when I went to the Vast Void Domain, you were born in my heart. At first, I thought you were my Heart Demon.”

“But then I found out that you were just evolved from a seed of a special spiritual body. The only purpose I saw in you was to cultivate you to use as nourishment for Pu Tao.” Xu Fan said flatly.

“Do you think about it now? Isn’t it too late?”

The shadow Xu Fan turned into a demonic shadow and rushed towards him.

“Confused self-confidence. Where does your confidence come from to backlash against me?”

Xu Fan’s voice sounded as an unknown power formed a shield around him. A pair of big hands also directly grabbed the shadow Xu Fan.

“Pu Tao, it’s quite troublesome for you to raise such a small snack. This little thing has secretly devoured a lot of my mind power.”

“If you were not specifically restraining him, dealing with this little thing would be quite troublesome.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master, don’t worry. Leave it to me.” Pu Tao’s voice sounded.
