Chapter 855: Chapter 828: Money Reaches Heaven_1
After the battle with the disciples of the Elders Association, all Hidden Spirit Sect disciples started cultivating madly as if they had taken an adrenaline injection.
Although some people understand that the failure of that battle was not solely due to their individual combat power.
The main reason was that all of their movements were under the monitoring of the other side.
But in their eyes, as long as their combat power was high enough, they could turn the tide of defeat.
Any conspiracy or trick becomes insignificant in front of the word invincible.
In the headquarters of the Elders Association, Chief Senior Brother, and a few core leading disciples were de-briefing, still alarmed.
Although they had a full view of the battle, the fight was still tough.
After completely annihilating the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect, only a few disciples from the Elders Association were left in the field.
"It was really tough. If Feng Hong hadn't overdrawn his lifespan to use the secret method, we would probably have lost the last match," one of the core leading disciples said.
He was one of the remaining disciples who fought against the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect. He had one feeling.
The enemy was too tenacious, too stubborn, too bizarre, even if in the end only their senior brother and a few other disciples were left.
Facing this certain defeat condition, they did not see a trace of defeat from the enemy's eyes.
None of the disciples were influenced by the unfavorable situation from the beginning till the end.
"Yes, if I were alone against their senior brother, I would definitely lose," Chief Senior Brother Flying Dragon said.
"This time I gathered you all to inform you that after a year, all top-class sect sacred lands and forces in the entire Cultivation World will participate in this competition."
"By then, we will not only face the Hidden Spirit Sect but also those sect sacred places with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years of history," Chief Senior Brother Flying Dragon said.
"Are there more rewards then?!" the disciple of the Divination Dao exclaimed excitedly. He, a practitioner of Divination Dao, likes Heavenly and Earthly Treasures the most because he can exchange them for many life-extending spiritual treasures.
"Yes, all sects will put in Artifact Spirits of identical value but different kind into the prize pool."
"If we can get the first place, the cultivation resources given by the higher-ups will just be a drop in the bucket."
"So we can't relax in this year, continue to practice various secret methods of the battle array," Chief Senior Brother Flying Dragon said.
He touched the spiritual sword around his waist and showed a faint smile.
Once he wins again, he will have enough points to redeem that coveted Immortal Artifact Spirit Sword.
In the Hidden Spirit Sect Origin Realm, a man-high small tree was planted in the place where the Immortal Spirit Qi was the most abundant.
The tree is small and its leaves are somewhat withered.
"It seems it still needs to grow, it can't even grow an immortal tool for now."
Xu Fan looked at the Tree of Everything with a tinge of displeasure. This name was obtained from a little bit of wisdom in that little tree.
"Pu Tao, open up this Tree of Everything to the entire sect and explain its functions," Xu Fan thought for a while and said.
Every time this Tree of Everything absorbs Spirit Stones and Fairy Jade to bear fruits, it keeps a little bit of energy to nurture itself.
The more people make wishes to it, the faster it grows.
"Yes, Master," Pu Tao replied.
"I wonder how those little brats have been doing recently. They have been working like madmen," Xu Fan smiled and said.
The trial world controlled by Pu Tao now have to accommodate seventy to eighty thousand disciples each day.
The Five-Colored Mountain Peak also runs at full capacity every day.
On the pavilion on the highest peak of the Main Peak, Xu Fan is enjoying the scenery of the mountain range while listening to Pu Tao's report on recent news from the Cultivation World.
At this time, on a small island outside the Hidden Spirit Island, this small island is specifically used to place the Cross-border Transfer Array.
The Transfer Array was flickering with spiritual light. Deputy Minister Pang and several Commerce disciples stepped out of the array.
"Pu Tao, has the Great Master returned?" Pang Fu inquired the moment he emerged.
Due to the high cost of teleportation, Pang Fu spent most of his time in the South Mountain World, overseeing everything.
"He's returned, Deputy Minister Pang. Do you need to meet the Great Master right now?" Pu Tao asked.
"What is the Great Master doing right now?"
"He is alone, sipping tea, and currently free." Pu Tao responded.
"I'll go to him right now then." Pang Fu nodded in agreement.
Xu Fan, who was drinking tea, received the news of Pang Fu's arrival.
"My great department head has finally returned!" Xu Fan said with a smile.
"Greetings to the Great Master!"
It wasn't long before Pang Fu appeared in the pavilion.
"Stand up, there's no need for such formality." Xu Fan said with a grin.
"How did you find the South Mountain World?"
"It was excellent. It's quite conducive to the development of the Commerce Dao."
"There are many powerful commerce associations in the South Mountain World, comparable to the top-notch sect holy places."
"The three Supremes from there also support the development of Commerce Dao and encourage trade with other Middle Thousand Worlds."
"Therefore, our development there has been very smooth." Pang Fu explained.
"I'm glad the development has gone well, but regrettably, we don't have much time left to lay out our plans there." Xu Fan expressed regret. In another 900 years, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect would be ascending to the Immortal World.
"That's not a problem. Wherever the Great Master takes me, I will cultivate our sect's development there." Pang Fu stated seriously.
"I had quite a harvest in the Ancient Green World this time. Unexpectedly, I found a cultivation technique that suits you particularly well." A jade disc appeared in Xu Fan's hand.
"I bought this technique from a commerce association on a tour of the Immortal World. It's called 'Money Reaches Heaven'."
"Although the name is rather vulgar, its power is not to be underestimated, and at most, it can be cultivated to the True Immortal Peak."
"You should start practicing it, and when you reach the peak period today, I'll deduce the subsequent technique for you."
Pang Fu looked at the jade disc in his hand and his expression began to show excitement. The inherited cultivation techniques he had received could at most be cultivated to the Mahayana stage. Although he could switch to practicing the Sect's Five Elements Art, it was, after all, somewhat different from the Commerce Dao he practiced.
"This is considered a classic technique in Commerce Dao. Although you can't kill enemies with money, if you have enough money, even a Golden Immortal won't be able to kill you."
Xu Fan poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards Pang Fu.
"Great Master, your repeated kindness is beyond repayable, I can only offer my loyalty to the Sect with this body." Pang Fu said, moved.
"First, drink some tea to calm yourself. Then tell me about the profits made in the South Mountain World," Xu Fan instructed.
After finishing his tea, Pang Fu began to report on the situation in the South Mountain World to Xu Fan.
Utilizing resources of all the large commerce associations throughout the Cultivation World, they had already established association branches all over the South Mountain World in just a few years.
The products they sold were very popular there, especially the standard Treasure Artifacts and Dao Tools, which sold as many as they could stock.
The Alchemy Peak of the sect, and its pill-refining assembly line in particular, had played a significant role there.
The South Mountain World was larger than the Feiyu Boundary, and there were several times more Cultivators and Mortals. This resulted in a high demand for elixirs and Magical Treasures.
The prices weren't high, but there were plenty of sales due to the small profits.
Just as Xu Fan was about to ask more, the cross-border Transfer Array on the small island started to light up.
Because of the stunning woman in red, who was walking out of the teleportation array showing in her eyes, a trace of helplessness.
"Welcome Red Lotus Venerable to Feiyu Boundary." Pu Tao's voice echoed.
