Chapter 808: The Little Tail

In the Ten Thousand Star Ship, Tian Region.

Just after Xu Fan finished answering a disciple’s questions, Zhou Kailing mysteriously approached him.

“Master, I earned some Immortal Jade in the Ancient Cang Realm and came to present it to you,” Zhou Kailing said as she handed a storage bag to Xu Fan.

“You sold your abilities in the Ancient Cang Realm?” Xu Fan asked, looking at the storage bag, which contained exactly 900 Immortal Jade.

“Master has a divine insight; I indeed sold my abilities,” Zhou Kailing smiled.

“I was enjoying myself among a group of powerful immortals when two major sects in the fairy city were holding a disciple competition every ten years, with stakes in the tens of thousands of Immortal Jade.”

“At first, I planned just to watch and see how the abilities in the Ancient Cang Realm differ from ours in the cultivation world.”

“While I was observing the competition, I overheard that one sect had lost eight times in a row and was desperately trying to find a way to defeat the opposing sect at any cost.”

“I suddenly thought, what a chance to make some money!”

“So I sold a few simple abilities for 900 Immortal Jade.”

“That helped that sect win the competition," Zhou Kailing said, looking very clever.

“Master, the 900 Immortal Jade you lost has been earned back by me, so please don’t worry about this matter anymore,” Zhou Kailing said.

Hearing the entire story from his dear disciple, Xu Fan couldn’t help but exclaim,

“Without trade, there’s no harm!”

Xu Fan handed back the storage bag with the Immortal Jade to Zhou Kailing.

“You’re throwing copper coins into the golden basin; I don’t need this little bit of Immortal Jade from you.”

“Besides, your recent actions have been quite troublesome, making it difficult for your brother,” Xu Fan said, glancing at Li Xingci, who looked conflicted in the distance.

“I’m being sincere!” Zhou Kailing insisted.

“I know you’re sincere; I appreciate your intentions. Just keep the Immortal Jade for yourself,” Xu Fan said before shooing Zhou Kailing away.

Li Xingci sighed in relief from a distance.

“Why does being with Zhou Kailing make me feel so useless?” Li Xingci muttered to himself.

“Husband, don’t make such a face. Are you blaming me for spending too much Immortal Jade?” Su Rantian said beside him, her tone sorrowful.

Li Xingci looked at his beautiful wife, who was adorned with celestial tools, and replied, “I only wish I could earn more Immortal Jade to make you even more beautiful.”

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who was explaining the Way of Lightning to Li Lei Hu, waved his hand and set up a soundproof grand formation around them.

He couldn’t let the good news he’d received about soft fragrant jade turn into more dog food.

At that moment, in the Celestial Boat, the shopkeeper who sold Xu Fan the broken puppet was desperately pleading with Song Ming.

“Shopkeeper Song, I was wrong; I shouldn’t have been greedy for that little bit of Jin Ling spirit ore.”

“I’ll sell everything to you now; I just ask you to return that batch of spirit fire compass to us at original price. I’m willing to give you an additional 3,000 Immortal Jade,” the shopkeeper begged, looking sorrowful.

Seeing this, Song Ming, like a humble gentleman, helped the shopkeeper up.

“Shopkeeper Luo, let’s talk business. I can sell this batch of spirit fire compasses for at least 5,000 Immortal Jade,” said Song Ming.

“If you’re giving me an extra 3,000 Immortal Jade plus a bit of Jin Ling spirit ore, wouldn’t that mean I’d end up losing over 1,000 Immortal Jade?” Song Ming replied with a smile.

“Besides, Shopkeeper Luo is great at fishing. With this little bit of Immortal Jade, you could catch a big fish!”

Song Ming spoke with a hint of envy.

“Shopkeeper Song, the fish being caught belongs to the main house and has nothing to do with me. If I lose on this batch of goods, I’ll have to bear the loss myself.”

Suddenly, Shopkeeper Luo knelt on the ground and performed a deep bow to Song Ming.

“Shopkeeper Luo, to grow in the business world, one must spend money to learn lessons.”

“You shouldn’t make it easy for yourself while letting others suffer.” After saying this, Song Ming left with a smile.

The year was coming to an end, and the Ten Thousand Star Ship was set to return for them.

When Song Ming returned to his shop, he saw several senior brothers packing their things.

“The Ten Thousand Star Ship has docked outside the barrier. Brother Song, we can head back now,” said one Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple with a smile.

Compared to the deceitful schemes of the business world, he preferred to cultivate in peace, training and battling alongside his brothers in the sect.

“What a pity it’s only for a year,” Song Ming thought as he gazed at the street that gathered the essence of various middle thousand worlds, feeling a touch of reluctance.

But in comparison, the sect was far more important.

A Star Ship carried Song Ming and several Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples towards the dock of the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

In the Tian Region of the Ten Thousand Star Ship, Song Ming met Xu Fan.

“Greetings, Grand Elder.” Song Ming held a space celestial tool in his hand.

“100,000 Immortal Jade with a 30,000 Immortal Jade profit in one year—that’s impressive. When you return, would you be interested in running this route?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

“Grand Elder, can I come back in the future?!” Song Ming’s tone was filled with excitement.

“Our sect has its own Universe Ship; I just don’t know if you’re willing to run this route.”

“Absolutely! I would love to!!”

“I’ll do my utmost for the sect; I won’t shy away!” Song Ming said eagerly.

Nearby, Ming Kong looked on with a hint of envy.

Although their Elder Council had business geniuses, they lacked capital and couldn’t offer as many opportunities for trial and error to their talents in the business world.

Let alone giving them 100,000 Immortal Jade to practice with.

“Grand Elder, we are setting out to the Chaotic Star Region now; it contains many small worlds, each with different Spiritual Treasures,” Ming Kong explained.

“How did these small worlds come about?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“Once, the Upper Zun mentioned that it should have been a gigantic middle thousand world that failed to advance to the Immortal Realm, causing the Heavenly Way’s Will to explode.”

“Then the middle thousand world couldn’t withstand the pressure and split into one small world after another.”

“Where does the danger come from?”

“Because of the collapse of the Heavenly Way’s Will, disordered small worlds formed one after another.”

“That place has become a paradise for space pirates, with the strongest being true immortals at the peak of their power,” Ming Kong added.

This piqued Xu Fan’s interest.

“I’ve heard a lot about what true immortals can do in the star region, but why haven’t I heard anything about Golden Immortals?” This was Xu Fan’s greatest puzzlement at the moment.

“I’m not sure; maybe in this area, Golden Immortals don’t find it appealing,” Ming Kong guessed.

“Most likely.”

As the two chatted, the Ten Thousand Star Ship accelerated toward the unknown.

At that moment, outside the barrier of the Building Ship, another Universe Ship activated and headed in the direction of the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

While chatting with Ming Kong, Xu Fan suddenly furrowed his brow.

He formed seals with one hand, and numerous scriptures flashed in his eyes.

“Grand Elder, what’s wrong?” Ming Kong sensed something was off with Xu Fan.

“There’s a little tail behind us; I wonder what good things it might bring,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Oh~” Ming Kong acted normally.

It was strange if there wasn’t a little tail following them when leaving the Ancient Cang Realm.
