Chapter 795: Myriad Paths, Only Spending is the Strongest~

“It is said that there are at least tens of thousands of puppets on that battlefield,” the spirit pill shopkeeper said with envy.

“I could spend a whole day running this shop and not earn even one hundred Immortal Jade.”

“Are there any Golden Immortal level puppets?” Xu Fan suddenly asked.

After having tens of thousands of puppets at the same level, higher-tier ones would definitely appear in the future.

“I haven’t heard them mention it, but you can go ask,” the shopkeeper replied with a smile.

Xu Fan nodded and casually bought a few high-quality healing spirit pills from the spirit herb store, the kind made by an alchemist.

“Please come again!” the shopkeeper waved the fifty Immortal Jade at the door.

No matter what others did, with that fifty Immortal Jade as a base, the shopkeeper had at least met his daily target.

Xu Fan did not look back and waved his hand, then headed back with Ming Kong toward the puppet seller.

At this moment, the shopkeeper hummed a little tune, twirling two pieces of Immortal Jade in his hand, feeling very pleased.

Seeing Xu Fan and Ming Kong come back, he quickly hid his joyful expression.

“Fellow friends, each person is limited to purchasing one puppet, and all sales are final,” the shopkeeper said seriously.

Xu Fan chuckled.

“Shopkeeper, I want to ask if you have any Golden Immortal level puppets.”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper froze for a moment, thought for a bit, then shook his head.

He didn’t expect that two Great Ascension stage cultivators would be interested in Golden Immortal level puppets.

“Don’t be quick to say no; everything has its price.”

“Just give me a price you have in mind to see if I can accept it,” Xu Fan replied calmly.

“One hundred… one million Immortal Jade,” the shopkeeper tentatively suggested.

“Are you joking, shopkeeper? One million Immortal Jade might buy a fully intact Golden Immortal level puppet!” Ming Kong exclaimed angrily.

“The price is the price; I can’t go lower without losing face to ask higher up,” the shopkeeper said awkwardly. He knew that in the headquarters’ treasury, there was a Golden Immortal level puppet that had always been treated as a treasure.

“Shopkeeper, I’ll offer one hundred thousand Immortal Jade. If you’re willing, you can contact me anytime,” Xu Fan said as he handed the shopkeeper a communication artifact.

The shopkeeper nodded, indicating that he would mention it above.

The two strolled along that street for a long while before returning to the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

As soon as Xu Fan returned to the Tian Region, the elders and disciples gathered around him.

“Grand Elder, is there a true immortal on the Celestial Boat?”

“Is the woman dancing on the Celestial Boat a real person?”

“Master, can we go explore that Celestial Boat?”

Xu Fan looked at everyone and thought he couldn’t let them come for nothing.

“I went into a small world inside the Celestial Boat, where all the shops of major associations from the middle thousand world are located.”

“You can go take a look.”

Xu Fan handed over thirty thousand Immortal Jade to Li Xingci.

“Elders, five hundred Immortal Jade each, and one hundred for the disciples. Use the rest to get something for your brothers.”

Only Xingci and Zhou Kailing had come with him.

“Understood, Master,” Li Xing Chi nodded.

Xu Fan and Ming Kong had decided earlier that the Ten Thousand Star Ship would stay docked for a month, giving his disciples and the Elder Council, along with the higher-ranked elder, time to explore the Celestial Boat.

Most importantly, Xu Fan needed time to craft talismans to gather resources.

Every disciple following Xu Fan received one hundred Immortal Jade from Li Xingci.

“What can we do with one hundred Immortal Jade?” some disciples asked, unsure of its value.

“The Celestial Boat is run by the Spring Blossom Merchant Association in the Immortal Realm. With four hundred Immortal Jade, you can buy the lowest-grade celestial tool there,” Li Xingci explained.

The disciples were stunned, and they also received a group message.

Fifty Immortal Jade came from the sect, and another fifty from the Grand Elder.

The sect’s Immortal Jade didn’t need to be repaid, but the Grand Elder’s would have to be returned once they reached the Immortal Realm.

Led by Li Xing Chi, two hundred disciples marched toward the Celestial Boat.

“Brothers, listen up,” Qian Bing said as soon as they arrived, stepping forward before anyone could marvel at the sights.

Over two hundred pairs of eyes, including the elders’, turned to him.

“I have an idea: let’s make the most of the Immortal Jade the sect gave us,” Qian Bing said, gesturing.

“How do we do that, brother?” asked a disciple from the beast control disciples.

“Leave it to the experts. Brother Song Ming from the Business World, it’s your time to shine,” Qian Bing said, looking at a calm and collected disciple.

Everyone turned to Song Ming.

“The Grand Elder gave us a month, so no rush. I need to check out the market first.”

“If there’s no profit to be made, our safest bet is to pool our Immortal Jade and buy celestial tools from the Spring Blossom Merchant Association,” Song Ming said, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

He’d had this idea since receiving the one hundred Immortal Jade.

“Everyone, go ahead and look around. If you see something you like, buy it. I’ll come up with a solid plan after I’ve scoped things out,” Song Ming said.

The disciples nodded, and Li Xing Chi found the idea intriguing, deciding to save some Immortal Jade for investment.

On the bustling street, Su Rantian eagerly dragged Li Xingci from one merchant association to another.

If she saw something she liked, she bought it.

They stopped at a shop specializing in long dresses for female cultivators.

“Ah…”

Su Rantian held up the shimmering luminescent silk long dress, her eyes filled with longing.

“I’ve never had to worry about spirit stones or treasures in my life.”

“If I wanted something, I could always afford it!”

“But after becoming cultivation partners, life’s gotten harder. Now I can’t even buy a dress,” Su Rantian said sadly, gazing at the dress.

“Dear, this is a celestial tool, not just any dress.”

“And this is the fifth item already. It’s over budget, so we can’t get it,” Li Xingci said.

For the first time, Li Xingci felt the perks of having money.

“I’m not blaming you, husband. I just finally understand what the Grand Elder meant.”

“Of all the myriad paths, spending money is the strongest.”

Su Rantian’s takeaway from the street was that everything could be bought with Immortal Jade—even strength.

Top-tier celestial tools, spirit pills, ancient creatures, puppets, divine skills, Spiritual Treasures—all available for the right amount of Immortal Jade.

She even spotted a sacred embryo pill worth ten thousand Immortal Jade.

Just one pill could rebuild her foundation and grant her a celestial spirit body.

She wanted one for Li Chufan, but she didn’t have enough Immortal Jade.

“Don’t worry, dear. Just make a list of what you like. When I have enough Immortal Jade, I’ll buy it all for you,” Li Xingci said earnestly.

“Brother, Elder Su, there you are!” Zhou Kailing said with a smile.

Li Xingci turned to see Zhou Kailing holding a storage bag with the Spring Blossom Merchant Association logo.
