Chapter 1044: Extravagance

“Is he trying to eat someone?” Zhuang Ling asked, looking at Qian Bing.

“He’s just gone crazy from being poor; don’t mind him,” Xiong Li replied with a laugh.

“You’ll get ten percent of what you bring back. Just do a good job.”

“Forty percent! Senior Brother, I’m sticking my neck out for you, and I’m the best when it comes to money matters,” Qian Bing argued.

“Twenty percent; take it or leave it,” Xiong Li shot back.

“Deal! Lord Grape, I need detailed information on the Duanjin Immortal Sect,” Qian Bing said eagerly, sensing a business opportunity.

A light curtain appeared in front of Qian Bing, displaying the history and details of the Duanjin Immortal Sect.

“Alright, don’t worry about the rest; just stay here and collect the money,” Xiong Li told Zhuang Ling.

“Don’t we have to report the Immortal Jade we retrieve to the sect?” Zhuang Ling asked, puzzled.

“The sect only takes the cost; they don’t care about the leftover Immortal Jade,” Xiong Li explained.

He noticed his loan limit for Immortal Jade from the sect had increased again, meaning the sect had made a hefty profit.

“This sect is way better than the Harmony Sect back in the Immortal Realm,” Zhuang Ling sighed, recalling the tough times she and her sisters had after ascending to the Immortal Realm and joining the Harmony Sect.

They weren’t forced into anything, but staying in the sect required paying a hefty amount of Immortal Jade every year.

It left them with a bitter taste for the Harmony Sect.

“Now you’re practically half a member of the Hidden Spirit Sect; life for you and your sisters will only get better,” Xiong Li reassured her.

“Recently, I heard from Grape that the inner sect of the Hidden Spirit Sect opened up to the Hidden Moon Sect. When can we go back for a good spar?” Zhuang Ling asked, her hands itching for a fight after so long.

“No rush. Let’s wait until the first batch of students graduates. We’ll leave enough to teach, hand over the rest to Grape, and then head back to the sect.”

“Once we’re back, we can spar all we want,” Xiong Li said, though he too felt the itch for battle. But for now, paying off the sect loan was his priority.

……

A massive Star Ship left the Tianguan Immortal Realm, heading toward the Chihuang Immortal Realm.

Onboard the Star Ship was a luxurious small world.

Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie lived within this small world.

After finishing a sparring session in the dojo, the two walked out, feeling a bit drained.

Outside the dojo, several graceful and beautiful maidens were waiting.

“Masters, you’ve worked hard in your training. Please relax in the warm jade immortal spring and let us ease your fatigue,” a soft, respectful voice said, almost ethereal in its tone.

A tall, stunning woman stood before them.

Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie exchanged glances, then followed the maidens to the immortal spring.

Soaking in the spring and receiving treatment, they felt a spiritual uplift, gaining a clearer understanding of the world.

After the maidens left, Jian Wujie asked Han Feiyu, “How much Immortal Jade did you spend to secure this small world?”

“Not much, just thirty million. If it didn’t draw attention, I’d have bought the whole Star Ship,” Han Feiyu replied casually.

“Is something about to happen? You used to spend money lavishly, but you never put effort into enjoyment,” Jian Wujie asked.

The two had been brothers for thousands of years, familiar with each other as if they were themselves.

“I took on something I must do. Based on our Master Ancestor’s expression, once I start this task, I might not have good days for the next one hundred thousand years,” Han Feiyu replied.

“So before that, let’s indulge a bit. Who cares about drawing attention? We are not pushovers,” Han Feiyu said, looking sadly at the back of his hand.

When he left, Xu Fan’s sympathetic and pained expression filled him with fear.

After following their Master Ancestor for so many years, they knew that perceiving the mysteries of the heavens was just a basic skill of their Master Ancestor.

Combining that expression with his thoughts, Han Feiyu sensed that the next one hundred thousand years would not be peaceful for him.

“Once you enter the target Immortal Realm, keep a low profile. Find a safe Giant City for some small business; one thousand years in an Immortal Realm will pass quickly, and you never know what might happen,” Jian Wujie comforted.

“Wujie, sometimes fate pushes us forward, and we can’t stop even if we want to,” Han Feiyu replied.

As Han Feiyu spoke, the entire Star Ship shifted into full-speed space jump mode.

This route had been traveled hundreds of thousands of times, so the ship’s captain simply ramped up the speed to the maximum.

“Based on what you said, let’s not think too much; we’ll take it one step at a time.”

“Fate may be pushing you, but that’s for when you enter the Immortal Realm,” Jian Wujie reassured.

“Before that, let’s enjoy ourselves in this luxurious small world.”

As they spoke, the two, wrapped in bathrobes, entered a celestial dance hall exclusive to their small world.

The ready maidens guided them to their seats.

Immortal tea, Spiritual Fruits, and snacks were served without them lifting a finger; with just a glance, the maidens fed them directly.

With delicate hands, a maid gently fed a piece of pastry to Jian Wujie.

The soft touch of her jade-like fingers on his lips suddenly made him feel unusual.

At that moment, celestial music filled the air.

Heavenly maidens dressed in elegant attire entered the dance floor.

As they performed their celestial dance, the two watched in a daze.

“Isn’t this a bit extravagant?” Jian Wujie nervously transmitted, like a pure-hearted newbie entering a luxurious club for the first time.

“Certainly a bit extravagant, but we can’t waste this thirty million Immortal Jade,” Han Feiyu replied, signaling a nearby maiden to pour them both a drink, clinking glasses with Jian Wujie.

After the celestial dance finished, Han Feiyu, somewhat tipsy, said, “Play the music and dance again!”

“Dance well, and you shall be rewarded!”

Han Feiyu waved his hand, causing one million Immortal Jade to float above the dance floor, enticing the dancing maidens.

“Don’t worry; the Tianyun Merchant Association is as good as the Tianding Merchant Association in the Three Thousand Realms.

They won’t turn on us for a small amount of Immortal Jade. The more Immortal Jade we spend, the more respect we’ll receive,” Han Feiyu, noticing Jian Wujie’s concern, couldn’t help but transmit.

“I’m not worried about that. I’ve always been careful since I met you, so I’m quite reassured about that.”

“What concerns me now is that our Star Ship will take eighty years to navigate the star region. I’m afraid we won’t hold out and get lost in this enchanting world.”
