While the two siblings experienced the test in the illusion, Xu Fan began to sense his own body.
"Although I devoured the Death Soul Bug in the end, I still lost half of my spiritual strength."
"The burden on my spiritual power and mental power has increased. I won't be able to recover for at least half a year."
Xu Fan did not care much about his injuries. After all, they were not permanent. It was fine as long as he could recover.
"I'll set a small target first. I won't leave the sect for 10 years."
"Also, I'll stay away from the protagonist."
As Xu Fan spoke, he waved his hand and took out a tea set. He took out a pot of spirit tea that calmed the spirit.
The teapot was filled with spirit water, and a small flame appeared at the bottom of the teapot.
"After I return, I must refine more puppet war beasts. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous for me to go out."
As he drank his tea, he thought about the future.
At that moment, an old man came to the little boy's house with half a bag of millet in his hand.
The moment he entered, he saw Xu Fan drinking tea. He was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
A gentle force gently held the old man back.
"Old man, you don't have to kneel. You are my savior. I should be thanking you," said Xu Fan gently. He already understood the whole situation.
"It's my fortune to be able to save you, Immortal," said the old man hurriedly. He began to feel happy.
The immortal's attitude had determined that he had made the right bet.
"You saved me. I want to repay you. It's karma."
"What do you want?" Xu Fan slowly asked. He didn't have a high and mighty feeling towards ordinary people. They were only pawns for all living beings. Moreover, even cultivators couldn't exist forever.
"I have no children and only want to live peacefully with my wife."
Without much hesitation, the old man simply said what he wanted first.
Xu Fan looked at the old man admiringly. It was a very pragmatic and reasonable request.
A bottle of Longevity Pills appeared in Xu Fan's hands. This pill would allow mortals to extend their lifespan by 10 years without any disasters or illnesses. Xu Fan had refined an additional bottle when he accepted the alchemy task. He did not expect that it would come in handy now.
"There are 10 Longevity Pills in the bottle. You and your wife should take one every two years."
"Go home and pack up now. Once the two children wake up, follow me to the Heavenly Imperial Sect. When the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to take care of you," said Xu Fan. It had already been half a month, and he still did not know the situation over at the sect.
"Immortal, these two children…" The old man looked at the unconscious siblings.
"They are receiving the inheritance of becoming an immortal," said Xu Fan casually.
"Oh, then I'll go back and pack."
Not long after the old man left the little boy's house, the little boy woke up first.
Xu Fan looked at the little boy with satisfaction. Although his aptitude was a little poor, he was very satisfied with the kind of simple and honest character that would never leave his friends or family.
In the illusion, the little boy experienced all kinds of tests related to human nature. His pure and innocent heart moved Xu Fan.
A complicated look flashed across the little boy's eyes. At this moment, a hand with white light caressed the little boy's head.
"You're a good boy."
Before long, the little boy fell into a deep sleep.
"Everything will be different when you wake up."
After Xu Fan settled the little boy down, he looked at the little girl with surprise.
"She has great potential for cultivating," exclaimed Xu Fan. The little girl's performance in the illusion really blinded him.
In Xu Fan's words, this was a female version of Heavenly Venerable Han. She knew what she wanted and what she could do. She had a kind heart, but she wasn't a saint. She was rich and didn't flaunt her wealth. She was bold, but she was also meticulous.
She only lacked a cheat to become a protagonist.
Then, the little girl slowly woke up. Before she could say anything, she and the little boy had a set meal.
"What a pair of good siblings. In the future, Master will rely on you two to support me."
Xu Fan carried one child in each hand and left the small house.
A small Spirit Wind Boat emerged from Xu Fan's body and landed on the ground not far away, transforming into a ten-meter-long spirit boat.
Then, the old man rushed over with an old lady.
After everyone was settled down, Xu Fan waved his hand, and the Spirit Wind Boat flew towards the Heavenly Imperial Sect.
At the Heavenly Imperial Sect, outside the restriction on Xu Fan's small mountain, Wang Yulun sat outside with a lonely expression.
After Ye Xiaoyao found out that Xu Fan had ran into trouble, Wang Yulun went back to the sect and waited there.
"Big Brother Xu, I've let you down."
"You're such a cautious person. It's rare for you to be willing to come out for my wedding. I didn't expect you to run into a disaster," said Wang Yulun bitterly. Although Ye Xiaoyao said that Xu Fan didn't die, Wang Yulun still blamed himself.
In his heart, he was a little resentful that Ye Xiaoyao insisted on dragging Xu Fan along.
At this moment, a beautiful figure flew towards Wang Yulun.
Then, a bowl of porridge and a few dishes were placed in front of Wang Yulun.
"Husband, Big Brother Xu is a talented man. He will definitely be fine."
"Maybe he is currently recuperating somewhere. He might come back after he recovers." Murong Qian'er looked at the skinny Wang Yulun and comforted him with a heartache.
"You don't have to comfort me. I just feel a little guilty."
"I haven't seen him leave the sect since I met you. I didn't expect him to do this for me…"
"Qian'er, I'll wait for another half a month. I still owe Big Brother Xu a red packet. I want to give it to him personally," said Wang Yulun. In his heart, Xu Fan was already his mentor. If it wasn't for him, he would probably still be an ordinary outer sect disciple.
"Alright, I'll wait with my husband."
At the same time, in an immortal city outside the Heavenly Imperial Sect, Xu Fan arranged for the children to stay at a hotel owned by the Pang family's chamber of commerce. Meanwhile, he let the two elders rest at an inn. At that time, someone would naturally arrange accommodations for them.
Outside the Heavenly Imperial Sect, at the outer sect Government Affairs Hall…
Xu Fan brought the two curious siblings to a hall.
"Senior Brother, I'm here to register my disciples."
Xu Fan handed his identity token to the warden in front of him.
"Do you understand the criteria for taking in disciples?" The warden looked at Xu Fan's identity token and asked.
"Yes. The disciples need at least four spiritual roots," replied Xu Fan.
"Alright then. You'll have to settle the resources for your disciples yourself. If you commission the sect to nurture them, it will cost 2,000 Spirit Stones per disciple."
"Also, if your disciples want to enter the Heavenly Imperial Sect, they must enter the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of 40."
"If the disciple is outstanding, the sect will still reward them," said the warden as he looked at Xu Fan with a strange look in his eyes. Usually, those who accepted disciples were cultivators who had no hopes of advancing, had no family, and were close to death.
These cultivators didn't want their inheritance to be severed. Thus, they would find a disciple who was fated to inherit everything from them from the outside world. The sect encouraged this as well.
"If you understand everything, then bring your two disciples to test their spiritual roots first before going to the Heart Questioning Palace."
"After everything is done, come to me to collect your identity tokens."
"Thank you, warden."
Xu Fan brought the two children to test their spiritual roots.
