I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 483

Chapter 483: Chapter 266: Nine Heavy Great Formation, Yuxin Mountain Spirit Mine_2
 

Li Xuan turned around and left.

He decided to check on his own disciple, to see how he was stirring things up and how he planned to topple the Divine Sect.

…

“Eh, Young Master Shen?”

Fang Hao looked surprised, the informant of his senior brother turned out to be Shen Haizhou!

“Fang Hao?”

Shen Haizhou was also stunned for a moment.

“You know each other?”

Xu Yan was astonished.

He then remembered, Shen Haizhou had mentioned a friend who kept a Mountain Devourer Toad, and Fang Hao also had one. It seemed, then, that the friend Shen Haizhou spoke of was indeed Fang Hao.

Fang Hao chuckled and said, “Young Master Shen is a major customer of mine. Over the years, I have lived comfortably… thanks to Young Master Shen’s patronage.”

Shen Haizhou glanced suspiciously at Xu Yan and Meng Chong, then stared at Fang Hao for a long while, feeling that Fang Hao seemed to have changed somehow.

“You know each other?”

Fang Hao warmly clapped Shen Haizhou on the shoulder, chuckling, “Of course we know each other. This is my eldest and second senior brothers.”

Shen Haizhou was shocked beyond measure.

“Fang Hao, I didn’t expect it. You’ve really kept yourself hidden, no wonder you can craft such extraordinary items.”

“Don’t misunderstand, I only recently met our master and was taken under his wing.”

Fang Hao patted Shen Haizhou’s shoulder. This scion of the Shen Family, unlike other true disciples and nobility from the Spirit Sect, wasn’t condescending or oppressive towards Loose Cultivators.

He was quite the exception in the Spirit Sect and noble circles.

Shen Haizhou’s face showed envy, then seemed to think of something, and his expression turned sleazy. He pulled out a Spring Night Mirror from his storage bag.

“Brother Fang, this treasure of the Spring Night has improved quite a bit. You should continue to work hard; I recently collected a batch of excellent beauties, and their poses number in the dozens…”

While talking, he activated the Spring Night Mirror, revealing images of beautiful women.

Upon seeing this, Fang Hao panicked, snatched the Spring Night Mirror from Shen Haizhou’s hand, and stuffed it back into his arms, saying, “Brother Shen, you are insulting me. I, Fang Hao, am upright and would never engage in such indecent acts!

“Although I provided you with the method to forge this Spring Night Mirror, I have nothing to do with it. Such a vulgar object, I, Fang Hao, disdain to be associated with it.”

Shen Haizhou was stunned. How could it be that himself, a scion of a noble family, and Fang Hao, a chubby Loose Cultivator, who once evaluated beauties together, now he denied it outright!

“Fang Hao, you’re not being a brother here. Remember how many beauty albums I collected and lent you to scrutinize for days and nights…”

Shen Haizhou’s face showed displeasure.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Fang Hao quickly covered his mouth.

His slightly plump face turned a bit red as he looked towards his senior brothers and said solemnly, “Senior brothers, please don’t listen to nonsense. Shen Haizhou has some weird fetishes, he collects vulgar objects and often forces others to view them with him. It’s very low!”

Back then, watching the beauty albums wasn’t voluntary at all. As a mere Loose Cultivator, how could I resist Young Master Shen’s coercion? It was forced!

Amidst Shen Haizhou’s angry glare, Fang Hao dragged him away.

Xu Yan suppressed a smile, remembering Shen Haizhou’s prized collection, for which he had willingly paid a million Spirit Crystals to redeem.

“Didn’t expect it, did you, junior brother has this hobby too!”

Xu Yan sighed.

Watching Fang Hao and Shen Haizhou huddled together, two chubby figures with similar tastes, thus becoming friends.

After Fang Hao promised to refine a higher level, more mysterious Spring Night Mirror, Shen Haizhou relented and came back with a shamed face, apologizing to Xu Yan and Meng Chong, “It was all my fault, I initially coerced Fang Hao to view indecent objects with me. I apologize, I was wrong!

“Fang Hao is a decent person, upright and honest, although I forced him, he always kept his eyes closed; he actually didn’t see anything.

“It’s just my bad habits at fault, nothing to do with Fang Hao!”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong: …

The two looked at Shen Haizhou strangely, wondering exactly what Fang Hao had promised to make him so willingly degrade himself.

Fang Hao laughed awkwardly, “Senior brother, Young Master Shen has some strange tastes, don’t mind him, he’s actually quite a good person.”

Internally he cursed Shen Haizhou, how could he keep making more and more outrageous claims!

“Junior brother, no need to feel awkward, that’s human nature.”

Xu Yan spoke up after a pause.

Next, the four discussed their action plan and the intelligence on the Divine Sect. Shen Haizhou provided the latest information.

“The Divine Sect and the Su Family have not given up on hunting Brother Xu and Brother Meng, and they are also chasing that mysterious Loose Cultivator faction.”

Outside of that, the Spirit Crystal Mine of the Divine Sect remained as before.

“Since that is the case, let us take action,”

Xu Yan spoke in a deep voice.

“Brother Shen, you just wait for the news.”

This matter, Shen Haizhou only provided information and would not participate.

Before leaving, Xu Yan transmitted a message to Shen Haizhou, “Brother Shen, what did my disciple promise you to make you so eager?”

Shen Haizhou grinned sheepishly, “Brother Fang promised to refine a more mysterious Spring Evening Mirror for me, which can reflect all my treasures within it.

“Brother Xu, I wish you success. I need to continue collecting treasures. There’s only one chance, after this Brother Fang probably won’t be willing to refine the Spring Evening Mirror anymore!”

Shen Haizhou’s face showed a tint of regret.

Xu Yan’s mouth twitched, Shen Haizhou was beyond help.

Yuxin Mountain was an obscure peak in Yuzhou.

The mountain was not tall, the vegetation sparse, and seldom visited by people.

However, beneath this very peak lay a massive Spirit Crystal Mine, one of the two great Spirit Crystal Mines owned by the Divine Sect.

The desolate mountain peak secretly housed powerful figures.

A Divine Refinement Elder from the Divine Sect was stationed there, and instead of using Loose Cultivators to mine the Spirit Crystal, it was the disciples of the Divine Sect who were mining.

It was a task for the lower and middle-level disciples of the Divine Sect, also serving as a form of training.

It was for secrecy as well as to temper the disciples, and for the disciples of the Divine Sect, mining Spirit Crystal did not require back-breaking labor, they just needed to complete their task.

Moreover, after completing the task, they would receive a Spirit Crystal reward.

This was why the lower and middle-level disciples of the Divine Sect were eager to participate in mining.

On Yuxin Mountain, Ling Birds were nurtured, a type of communicative spiritual bird that was nimble, fast, and very alert.

They also served to a certain extent as guards.

Of course, the guard task was not entirely left to the Ling Birds, after all, there were always some means that could prevent the birds from sending out alarms in time.

“Junior brother, how long will it take to set up the Great Formation and completely seal off Yuxin Mountain?”

Xu Yan asked in a low voice.

“Fifteen minutes!”

Fang Hao pondered for a moment before responding.

Yuxin Mountain was not small, and he could not instantaneously set up the Formation.

“I will handle the guards.”

Meng Chong spoke.

“Leave the Ling Birds to me, junior brother you prepare the Formation.”

After Xu Yan finished speaking, he took out a small bottle and silently circulated around Yuxin Mountain.

Inside the small bottle was a pill refined by Su Lingxiu, which could bewilder the Ling Birds, affecting only them and going undetected.

In complete silence, Meng Chong knocked out the hidden guards one by one.

Fang Hao moved around the circumference of Yuxin Mountain, periodically setting up a Formation Weapon at intervals, quietly completing the setup.

This was the first time Fang Hao had set up such an extensive Great Formation.

“The Formation is ready, with three layered Great Formations. Once activated, it will go unnoticed; people outside won’t detect any anomalies, and those inside, even if they notice something is wrong, won’t be able to escape.

“Holding off a Divine Refinement Celestial for an hour is no problem.”

Fang Hao was thrilled internally; it was his first time striking against the Spirit Sect, and moreover, it was the foremost sect in Yuzhou. He was both excited and exhilarated.

With his current strength, the Great Formation he set up was more than capable of trapping an early-stage Divine Refinement Martial Artist for an hour without any issues.

“Let’s go, and kill that Divine Refinement Celestial.”

Xu Yan said coldly.

Once the Divine Refinement Celestial died, the other disciples of the Divine Sect would not be a concern and could all be sealed within the Great Formation.

The three of them changed into the clothes of the Divine Sect guards, restrained their spiritual energy, altered their faces, and entered through a concealed cave entrance on Yuxin Mountain.

As they entered, a dense wave of Spiritual Energy surged from the cave.

“No wonder even Loose Cultivators, despite knowing the hardships, are willing to come mine,”

Fang Hao remarked with a sigh.
