Xu Fang’s return home this time was not only to bring the Innate Gourd Vine and the Four Symbols Plantain Tree back to Penglai Immortal Island for transplanting, but also to refine Penglai Immortal Island into his own dojo, thereby establishing its ownership.
Although Dong Wang Gong currently showed no covetous intentions towards Penglai Immortal Island, it was ultimately his destined dojo. Without this matter settled, Xu Fang could not feel at ease.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue were immediately intrigued when Xu Fang said he would take them home to play.
“Senior, you have a home?”
“Yes, Senior, where is your home?”
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue asked, brimming with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang’s expression darkened.
“What are you implying? Do you think I don’t deserve a home?”
The way they phrased it made him sound like a homeless waif.
Seeing Xu Fang’s reaction, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue quickly tried to explain.
“No, Senior, you misunderstand.”
“Yes, we simply couldn’t imagine it.”
They had never heard Xu Fang mention anything of the sort. Given Xu Fang’s humble origins, they naturally assumed he had emerged from some nameless mountain, and thus, he was reticent about such matters.
Now, hearing Xu Fang’s words, it seemed the Senior’s background was not so simple, and at least he had a place he could call home.
Seeing Xu Fang’s displeasure, they were naturally eager to clarify.
“Alright, I know what you mean.”
Xu Fang, seeing their demeanor, quickly understood their thoughts.
“Not only do I have a home, but saying it out loud would shock you!”
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue’s curiosity grew even stronger, wondering how Xu Fang could be so confident about this so-called home.
After all, one was of the Dragon Clan and the other of the Phoenix Clan. Although they had declined, the Phoenix Clan still occupied the Volcano of Immortality, and the Dragon Clan had expanded their territories in the Four Seas.
Therefore, they genuinely couldn’t fathom what place could possibly shock them to such an extent.
Xu Fang looked at their expectant eyes and, clearly not wishing to elaborate further, spoke directly.
“Enough talk, you just need to follow me.”
As Xu Fang spoke, he took the spirit herbs that the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue had picked for him, stored them in his Spatial Ring, and took the lead.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue exchanged glances, nodded, and quickly followed.
They were determined to open their eyes and see what this home of the Senior’s was like!
However, even though the Kun Peng had already fled, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was still quite worried and couldn’t help but complain to Xu Fang.
“Speaking of which, Senior, letting that Kun Peng go this time, who knows when he’ll return for revenge!”
Ao Xue nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
“Indeed, this Kun Peng has a deep-seated hatred for Senior due to the death of his offspring. Now that he has been defeated by Senior, he will certainly not give up. We must be cautious and prepared!”
Through this incident, they had witnessed the Kun Peng’s vengeful nature. Although he had retreated this time, he would not simply let it go, and thus they were both concerned.
Who knew when this Kun Peng might suddenly descend and cause trouble!
“It’s fine, he comes once, I’ll beat him once.”
Xu Fang waved his hand, his face full of confidence.
Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue felt slightly more at ease.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng recalled Xu Fang’s cautious teachings and, at this moment, had a sudden thought.
“If only we could keep track of the Kun Peng’s movements, then we wouldn’t be so passive.”
However, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was merely sighing casually. If they could truly do that, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Kun Peng’s affairs.
One spoke carelessly, but the listener took heed. Xu Fang’s heart stirred upon hearing the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s words.
“Keep track of the Kun Peng’s movements? I’m familiar with this!”
Xu Fang silently praised the Golden-Winged Great Peng in his heart. Although this Golden-Winged Great Peng was indulging in wishful thinking, he had reminded Xu Fang of something.
He could bring the Kun Peng’s magical treasures into the chat group, thereby achieving the goal of monitoring the Kun Peng’s movements.
Last time, at Zixiao Palace, Xu Fang had invited many treasures into the chat group at once, verifying them as official members.
However, there were simply too many treasures, and Xu Fang couldn’t verify them all, only inviting a representative selection.
He had overlooked the Kun Peng’s treasures, which was why the Quantian Ruler couldn’t call out to the Beihai Palace in the chat group to exert pressure with its immense power this time.
Xu Fang thought to himself, his mind moved, and he subtly opened the chat group, beginning to operate.
Soon, a notification sounded in the chat group.
“Ding!”
“Beihai Palace has joined the chat group and become an official member of the chat group!”
“Ding!”
“Beihai Sword has joined the chat group and become an official member of the chat group!”
“Ding!”
“Sun-Shooting Divine Bow has joined the chat group and become an official member of the chat group!”
Following these few notification sounds, several treasures officially joined the chat group and became its formal members.
Xu Fang’s best method to obtain information about the Kun Peng’s movements was, of course, to bring all his treasures into the chat group.
This way, any actions taken by the Kun Peng would be unknowingly leaked by his magical treasures.
Of course, to cover his tracks, Xu Fang also mixed in treasures like the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and the Sun-Chasing Boots.
To Xu Fang, these magical treasures of the Great Desolation beings were more than just mere artifacts.
These magical treasures were Xu Fang’s eyes and ears, his intelligence operatives.
Xu Fang could use them to monitor their owners and obtain information about their movements.
Whether it was the Kun Peng or other beings, as long as their treasures were in the chat group, any action they took would be known to Xu Fang immediately, allowing him to formulate countermeasures.
And magical treasures were indispensable to immortal cultivators in the Great Desolation. What powerful immortal cultivator didn't have one or two treasures in their possession?
In this way, Xu Fang’s intelligence network was spread across every corner of the Great Desolation, and any being possessing a magical treasure could not escape its reach.
And Xu Fang could rightfully claim, “A scholar need not leave his home to know everything under the heavens.”
After witnessing several live broadcasts in the chat group, Xu Fang’s resolve solidified this idea.
Live broadcasts were sporadic, but the key was to obtain various intelligence through the unintentional words of the magical treasures.
This was similar to Xu Fang’s past life, where everyone had a mobile phone and had to grant location and information access to use software.
These magical treasures were in the hands of those Great Desolation beings, the tools Xu Fang used to collect information from the Great Desolation.
“We don’t investigate information, we are just carriers of information.”
Xu Fang chuckled inwardly, recalling a slogan from his past life, which was quite apt.
However, even with his vast network of treasures, Xu Fang was not entirely without troubles, and he was currently thinking about a persistent issue.
“Alas, how should I guide these magical treasures to reveal the information I desire?”
