Chapter 912: Tianding Merchant Association

As Pang Fu was dealing with the managers’ questions, a massive Star Ship fleet landed on the small island.

This immediately caught the attention of all the managers.

“Tianding Merchant Association, are they really interested in this small, temporary trading event?”

All the managers started whispering among themselves.

Seeing the flag of the Tianding Merchant Association on the Star Ship and the way it landed so boldly, Pang Fu began to quietly assess the strength of this merchant association.

Just then, a sharp-eyed merchant stepped forward and shared some information about the Tianding Merchant Association with Pang Fu.

Pang Fu’s eyes lit up; being one of the top merchant associations in the Immortal Realm, this was a golden opportunity to make some gains.

A manager and two supervisors stepped off the massive Star Ship.

Though they looked humble, there was a clear sense of pride in their eyes. Pang Fu knew that kind of look usually meant they had some serious backing.

Back when he represented his sect in the South Mountain Realm, he had the same kind of confidence.

His sect’s Grand Elder was a Powerful Being who could take on an entire realm single-handedly. With that kind of support, a little pride was only natural.

The managers sitting in the front row quickly made space and invited the Tianding Merchant Association’s manager and supervisors to sit down.

The Tianding Merchant Association’s manager smiled at Pang Fu, his eyes showing the kind of approval a senior might give to a junior.

“Welcome, Tianding Merchant Association, to our little trading event. Manager, please take a look and see if there’s anything that interests you,” Pang Fu said, his tone respectful but not overly submissive.

“You’re too kind, Manager. I saw your impressive Star Ship and thought it would be good to make some connections,” the Tianding manager replied.

“Tianding Merchant Association, Xuanhao, Zexing,” the Tianding manager said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Pang Fu remembered the earlier information he’d received. Managers from the Tianding Merchant Association were ranked as Heaven and Earth, and those with the Xuan title were not to be messed with, even by Golden Immortals.

“Hidden Spirit Sect, Business Elder, Pang Fu,” Pang Fu introduced himself with a bow.

Before he spoke, he had already checked with Xu Fan and gotten the go-ahead.

After exchanging names, the Tianding manager turned his attention to the light curtain above.

“Ten high-end puppets at the Invincible Respected Elder level, bring those first.”

“I’ll take all the artifact-level spirits.”

“What! They even have tea of the wide road—Five Elements, Time Stream, Reincarnation, Holy Sun, Moon’s Shadow. I’ll take 100 cups of each.”

“I’ll take all 100,000 talismans of the power of Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow.”

“Amazing! I’ll take 1,000 railguns to go with the artifact-level spirits.”

The Tianding Merchant Association’s manager bought almost everything worth having, and the total came to over nine hundred million Immortal Jade. Even the spirit tea that had been considered unsellable was snapped up.

The other managers could only sigh as they watched. All the good stuff had been taken by the Tianding Merchant Association’s manager.

They had hoped to get a share of the feast, but now they were left with scraps.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re heading to the Immortal Realm,” the Tianding manager said after the transaction was done.

“That’s right,” Pang Fu nodded, not elaborating further.

A star region compass appeared in the Tianding manager’s hand.

“It takes at least twenty years to reach the Immortal Realm from here. This star region has a teleportation portal guarded by our Tianding Merchant Association. Just pay a bit of Immortal Jade, and your Star Ship can be teleported to the outer part of the Immortal Realm.”

“This star region compass has my mark, so you can get a 10% discount when you teleport to the Immortal Realm.”

“Thank you, Manager Zexing. I, Pang Fu, will remember this favor,” Pang Fu said politely as he took the star region compass.

“I wonder if I could have the honor to visit the leader of your esteemed sect,” Zexing said.

After consulting Xu Fan, a teleportation formation appeared beside the two.

“The Grand Elder of the sect requests your presence. Please follow me, Manager Zexing.”

Once they stepped into the teleportation formation, they arrived at the guest hall.

Zexing glanced at Xu Fan and then slightly bowed his head in respect.

“Welcome, Manager Zexing. Please take a seat,” Xu Fan invited with an open hand.

The path of the five elements gathered and formed three cups of tea of the wide road.

When the tea of the wide road was placed in front of Zexing, he felt a sense of being pleasantly surprised.

He sensed no aura from Xu Fan, but that was the most frightening part.

With the resources provided by the merchant association, he had reached the true immortal realm and had learned the art of detection.

Now, he could not gauge Xu Fan’s depth, which said a lot.

“Thank you for the tea, Grand Elder,” Zexing said politely.

“You are a dear guest of my Hidden Spirit Sect. Saying it as a reward seems a bit distant.”

“It is an honor for my sect to make acquaintance with your Tianding Merchant Association,” Xu Fan replied courteously.

“On this visit to the Grand Elder, I wish for your sect to become a Xuan-level trading ally of my Tianding Merchant Association,” Zexing said, taking out a piece of Immortal Stone as a token.

“Once we reach the Immortal Realm, I will trouble Manager Zexing with many things,” Xu Fan accepted the Immortal Stone token.

After chatting a bit longer, Zexing took his leave.

At that moment, the temporary trading event on the small island also came to an end.

“Master, we’ve collected a total of 10,210,000 Immortal Jade and exchanged for various resources needed by the sect, worth 1,030,000 Immortal Jade,” Grape reported.

“That’s good. The sect has accumulated over 10 million Immortal Jade over the years, which should last a while,” Xu Fan said, feeling very pleased with the results of the trade, even more than he had expected.

“Most of the sect’s accumulated wealth is just a small part. The largest part of the transaction came from your refined spirit tea and talismans,” Grape said.

“This shows that artisans are valued everywhere,” Xu Fan chuckled.

“Grand Elder, should we use the Tianding Merchant Association’s teleportation portal to reach the Immortal Realm?”

“I calculated that for our size of Star Ship, it would cost 4.6 million Immortal Jade to teleport to the Immortal Realm,” Pang Fu reported.

“Four point six million Immortal Jade…” Xu Fan stroked his chin, noting that this distance and price seemed a bit cheaper than the Heavenly Path to the Immortal Realm.

“Let’s take some time to adjust. I’ll think about whether to use the teleportation portal to go to the Immortal Realm,” Xu Fan waved his hand.

Three days later, Hidden Spirit Island arrived at a small Immortal Realm comparable in size to the middle thousand world.

Just the safe routes connected to this small Immortal Realm numbered in the dozens, leading to various parts of the star region.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fan felt they had come from a small village into a big county, with the city center not far away.

The entire small Immortal Realm was bustling with various Star Ships, Immortal Ships, and heavenly vessels coming and going, resembling a prosperous county town.

At that moment, most of the disciples looked through the Protective Formation and saw the vibrant scenery of the small Immortal Realm.

“It’s already this bustling before we reach the Immortal Realm!” Han Feiyu said, mesmerized by the Star Ships on the safe route.

“This small Immortal Realm is not only a place for cultivation but also a gathering place for merchant associations. There will definitely be many good items. Senior brother, you can buy as much as you want,” Jian Wujie said.

He had always suspected that this senior brother had a Space Artifact, as Immortal Jade seemed to appear automatically every day; otherwise, how could he be so wealthy?
