Chapter 555
by fanqienovelChapter 555: Member Price at 20% Discount
"Lately, the giant beasts over there have been quite aggressive. Just stay cautious, and there shouldn’t be any major issues," Xu Fan advised.
"Got it, I’ll be careful," Spirit Cut nodded and then got up to leave.
"Indeed, things have been looking up recently. Not only has the minister of commerce returned, but the worrying Invincible Beast King also won’t be causing trouble anytime soon."
"Has heaven started to favor this idle fish of mine?" Xu Fan chuckled, looking up at the sky.
At that moment, Xu Fan thought of Pang Fu.
"Grape, activate all the sealed production lines for Nascent Soul Stage and Transformation Stage puppets, and prepare them for external sales. Also, restart the previously halted celestial tool production lines."
"I hope Pang Fu brings me some pleasant surprises," Xu Fan mused.
"As you wish, Master," Grape’s voice responded.
"Everything is back on track. Once I figure out how to create that puppet capable of crafting celestial tools, I won’t have to worry about anything in the future," Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
"With so many good things happening lately, I should treat myself a little," Xu Fan said, narrowing his eyes.
Soon after, a concealed beam of light flew towards Lin Sen Fairy City.
A plain-looking man looked up at the sign that read "Soul Healing Center, Branch No. 83."
"This is the place," the man said as he stepped inside.
"Welcome to the Soul Healing Center. How may I assist you today?"
"Would you like a soul relaxation or the full package?" a sweet girl in a white dress with rabbit ears smiled.
"How much for the full package?" the man asked.
He was here to experience life, understand local customs, and explore investment opportunities.
"One top-grade spirit stone. If you’re a member here, you can get a 20% discount," the rabbit-eared girl said.
"Becoming a member costs one hundred top-grade spirit stones," she added.
She glanced at the plain-looking man, trying to guess his profession.
Was he a Tian Puppet Master or just an ordinary cultivator?
Not long ago, a cultivator trying to overcome a bottleneck had a sudden idea; he tried the full package here before his breakthrough and smoothly passed the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time.
This incident made the Soul Healing Center popular again.
"Then let’s start with the full package," the man said, sounding like a first-timer.
At that moment, Spirit Cut and the middle-aged butcher, two burly men, walked into the Soul Healing Center with their arms around each other.
"Numbers 8 and 9, full package," Spirit Cut shouted as he entered.
"One full package and one soul relaxation," the middle-aged butcher corrected.
"You do your thing; I’ll do mine. Those who get the full package aren’t being sincere," the middle-aged butcher said seriously.
"You’re the insincere one; didn’t you see I just got injured?"
"I single-handedly controlled the puppet and defeated two Void Refinement stage beasts. Is it too much to get a full package after being so heavily injured?" Spirit Cut retorted directly.
He and Spirit Cut were good buddies, but he had never revealed his identity as the Spirit Cut Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Then I’ll join you for the full package to celebrate your breakthrough to a 6th-tier Tian Puppet Master. My treat this time," the middle-aged butcher said.
The two of them walked side by side past the plain-looking man.
The man watched as the two rabbit-eared girls welcomed them inside, and finally paid to enter a small room himself.
An hour later, the man walked out of the soul healing center, looking relaxed and feeling completely refreshed.
"Things that become popular really have their reasons," Xu Fan said with a smile.
The Jade Light Beast King had given him soul relaxation before, but her technique was nowhere near as professional as the one here.
After leaving the soul healing center, Xu Fan headed toward the Elder Council of the fairy city.
"Welcome, Grand Elder," Ning Dao warmly greeted him.
"I just dropped by; Brother Ning, you seem to be doing quite well lately," Xu Fan smiled and asked.
"Not bad, but it’ll still be a while before my partner awakens. I have to thank the Grand Elder for bringing the Precious Artifact Rabbit Clan under control."
Ning Dao was very grateful. After the soul healing center opened, he had an idea, took his comatose partner there for soul relaxation, and surprisingly, the strange curse gradually weakened, which made him ecstatic.
"That’s great; it looks like you and your sister-in-law can finally reunite," Xu Fan said, smiling to congratulate him.
"All thanks to the Grand Elder."
"Brother Ning, since the Source Flame Respected Elder left, can you connect with headquarters now?" Xu Fan asked curiously.
In recent years, Star Ships had occasionally arrived outside Lin Sen Fairy City.
"The Grand Elder has said so, but there are some things I can’t discuss," Ning Dao said with a bit of embarrassment, scratching his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak but he couldn’t due to the Heavenly Dao contract signed upon joining the Elder Council.
"You don’t need to explain, I understand," Xu Fan smiled.
"I wanted to ask if I could buy some spirit ore from inside the Elder Council?"
"That’s not possible either; what’s sent from there is just an allocation, without the right to choose," Ning Dao said with a bit of hesitation, feeling like he couldn’t help at all.
"That’s fine."
Xu Fan chatted with Ning Dao for a little longer before returning to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Three months later, the Serpent Spirit Ship returned, fully loaded with the spirit ore urgently needed by the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Grand Elder, this is the spirit ore urgently needed by the sect, along with the spirit stones sold for the celestial tool," Pang Fu said with a smile.
This trip had gone extremely smoothly, and he felt like there was gold everywhere in the Extreme Void Domain. With a Star Ship, even a fool could earn a lot.
Xu Fan looked at the spirit ore list brought back by Pang Fu, astonished, and said, "You must have filled the Serpent Spirit Ship’s storage completely, right?"
"Yes, I hope the Grand Elder can help expand a few more storage units on the Serpent Spirit Ship."
"Sometimes when I go to those fairy cities that have never had a Star Ship land, I can fill the storage on one trip, and it’s all at processing prices," Pang Fu said.
"That’s possible; I’ll have Number One and Number Two refine a few portable storage units shortly," Xu Fan replied cheerfully.
With this trip, Pang Fu instantly solved the basic spirit ore shortage problem of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Grand Elder, I’ll leave after unloading the spirit ore; the sect still has a significant spirit ore gap, and I need to hurry to make a few more trips."
"I’ll see you again in three months," Pang Fu said.
"Not taking a few days off?" Xu Fan said, conjuring three pieces of custom artifacts in his hand.
"These are the custom artifacts I refined for you, a total of five pieces. The other two are still being refined; please accept these three for now," Xu Fan said with a smile.
As the minister of commerce, he hadn’t even discussed his treatment but had quickly stepped into his role, and he couldn’t let Pang Fu down.
"Grand Elder, I’m truly unworthy of this; you are so good to me," Pang Fu said, touched as he looked at the three custom artifacts in Xu Fan’s hand.
"This is what you deserve. As the minister of commerce for the Hidden Spirit Sect, you should have some prestige," Xu Fan said with a smile.
