Chapter 773: Respected Elder of the Red Lotus

“Grand Elder, I had the trading association compare the samples you sent over.”

“If both sides engage in trade, there will be huge profits, many times higher than mining in the Extreme Void Domain,” Pang Fu said excitedly.

Just the thought of trading with a middle thousand world made Pang Fu’s blood boil.

As a cultivator who entered the path through commerce, there was nothing more thrilling than this.

“According to the Grand Elder, this is a top-tier sect in the South Mountain Realm. If we trade with the entire South Mountain Realm, the potential profits are beyond imagination.”

Xu Fan smiled at the excited Pang Fu and said, “Don’t get too carried away; we’ve only just begun.”

“First, get to know this world. There are many more middle thousand worlds waiting for you to explore.”

“Think bigger, broaden your horizons; the Immortal Realm is waiting for you to conquer.”

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Pang Fu became even more excited.

“Grape has prepared samples of all the spirit ores, spirit herbs, and special treasures from our cultivation world. Tomorrow, you’ll come with me to the South Mountain Realm,” Xu Fan said.

Upon his return, he had Grape provide Pang Fu with the space coordinates obtained from the South Mountain Realm.

Only now did Pang Fu start to make sense of everything.

“I am willing to serve the sect and the Grand Elder, even to the point of giving my life,” Pang Fu said with heartfelt devotion.

“Don’t talk like that; if you die, who will handle all these troubles? So, live well,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

He understood that having Pang Fu oversee trade between the two realms was a big deal.

Not only would the sect earn more money, but his business path would also progress significantly.

The more he traded, the deeper his business cultivation realm would become, and who knows, he might even ascend to the Immortal Realm through business in the future.

“Not long ago, I was thinking of tweaking your technique to at least ensure you could become immortal.”

“Now it seems that won’t be necessary,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Trading with a middle thousand world, if I can’t ascend through business, what’s the point?” Pang Fu remarked.

“Go ahead and do it boldly; the entire Hidden Spirit Sect has your back,” Xu Fan encouraged.

A loyal man is ready to die for those who truly understand him.

Pang Fu felt exactly that way now.

The next day, Xu Fan, Xu Yuexian, Spirit Cut, Pang Fu, and six of Pang Fu’s assistants stepped into the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation.

The teleportation formation could only transport ten people at a time.

As the spiritual light flashed, they appeared in the main city of the Qingxuan Sect.

“This South Mountain Realm mainly revolves around sects, so the area divisions are based on sect names. For instance, the place we’re in right now is the Qingxuan District,” Xu Yuexian explained.

“Is there no Elder Council or anything similar here?” Spirit Cut asked curiously.

“There’s a loose alliance formed by the three major sects, each operating independently. If two other middle thousand worlds show signs of rising, they band together to form a coalition to suppress them.”

“In general, while it lacks the unity of an Elder Council, its strength is far greater, with three powerful beings only slightly below my master,” Xu Yuexian replied.

“This South Mountain Realm is surprisingly strong,” Spirit Cut exclaimed in amazement.

At this moment, an elder from the Qingxuan Sect welcomed everyone.

After some discussions, he flew back to the Qingxuan Sect with Pang Fu and his assistants.

“Feel free to explore. Once Pang Fu finishes the trade, we’ll head back, which is expected to take about six months,” Xu Fan announced before dismissing the group. There were many interesting places in the South Mountain Realm he wanted to visit.

“Master, can I come with you?” Xu Yuexian asked eagerly.

“Why would you want to follow me? You should go have fun on your own. The places I go are often dangerous and not suitable for you,” Xu Fan shook his head and said.

“Grand Elder, have you noticed that the laws in this realm are somewhat different from ours? If we learn from each other, we might break through our realms,” Spirit Cut commented after sensing the laws of this world.

He was now not far from the invincible realm, with just a small distance to go.

“That’s also why I brought you here. Take some time to comprehend this, and hopefully, we will have another invincible respected elder in our Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan encouraged.

Spirit Cut nodded in agreement.

After everyone separated, a void gate appeared in front of Xu Fan.

Stepping through, he found himself at the edge of a bottomless pit.

“It’s said that this giant pit leads to the center of the earth and to the land of reincarnation,” Xu Fan said while looking at the pit.

Such legends existed in the cultivation world too, but without specific locations, Xu Fan could only vaguely sense them without being able to pinpoint them.

However, the South Mountain Realm had specific locations, so Xu Fan wanted to visit and learn from it, especially since he also practiced the Path of Reincarnation.

Just as Xu Fan was about to step into the deep space, he was stopped by a woman dressed in red robes.

She looked at Xu Fan with great interest, her expression reflecting that she had finally encountered a man worth looking at.

“Are you the powerful being who came from another middle thousand world?” the woman asked with a smile.

“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Red Lotus Respected Elder, one of the three supreme respected elders, right?” Xu Fan felt that her strength was comparable to his.

It was rumored that the strongest in the South Mountain Realm was the Red Lotus Respected Elder, a beauty who overshadowed the other two realms.

Xu Fan was curious about this unparalleled empress figure, thinking he would like to have a conversation with her when he had time.

He never expected to meet her now.

“You’re quite young, and you look good. How about joining me in the South Mountain Realm and becoming cultivation partners?”

The Red Lotus Respected Elder wore a long dress adorned with twelve-grade fire lotuses, her beauty as bright as the autumn moon, astonishing and captivating.

Her heroic presence was enough to overshadow all the world’s champions.

Hearing this, Xu Fan was momentarily taken aback. Was he being pursued?

“Anyone who can match me must be stronger than I am. I can’t see through your strength, so we might be a good match,” the Red Lotus Respected Elder smiled beautifully.

“This matter, I must discuss it with my wife first,” Xu Fan said seriously.

“Oh, so you already have a cultivation partner. What a pity,” the Red Lotus Respected Elder said with some regret.

“Has a great being ever assessed your fate?” Xu Fan glanced at the fate of the Red Lotus Respected Elder.

“Yes, that great being once told me, ‘Without a compatible cultivation partner, ascending is inauspicious.’”

“So, what do you think, taoist friend? Could you lend me a hand?” the Red Lotus Respected Elder asked with a smile.

“The words of the great being are indeed true.”

“But there is one saying, have you ever heard of it?”

“To break free from fate, have no taboos.”

“If you truly can’t find a suitable cultivation partner, take a Universe Ship to other middle thousand worlds to ascend, which would free your fate from any burdens,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“However, it’s best to have two realms of distance between you and your new partner,” he added.

The Red Lotus Respected Elder’s eyes lit up.

“Can this really work?”

“If a taoist friend is an ordinary person, it wouldn’t matter; this fate is unsolvable.”

“But a teammate is an invincible being of the realm, even if they ascend to the Heavenly Realm in the future, they will be exceptional among immortals.”

“With your strength, taoist friend, no matter which middle thousand world you go to, the Heavenly Way’s Will of that realm will welcome you.”
