Chapter 989: A Great Support

At that moment, Xu Fan was daydreaming in his courtyard when he suddenly heard the news of his good brother’s return.

"Can you say that again?" Xu Fan thought he had misheard.

"Your good brother has been teleported to the Golden City and is heading towards the sect," Grape repeated.

Not long after, Wang Yulun and his wife appeared in Xu Fan’s courtyard.

"You returned so quickly from the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty?" Xu Fan asked in confusion.

"It’s a long story; I will tell Big Brother Xu about it slowly," Wang Yulun replied.

Just then, a shooting star crossed the sky, and a small figure appeared next to Wang Yulun.

"Godfather, you finally returned!" Xing exclaimed happily.

"I missed you, so I came back," Wang Yulun said, patting the little head of Xing with a smile.

"Qianer, take Xing back to your cave first. I need to talk to Big Brother Xu about my recent experiences."

Murong Qianer nodded, took her leave from Xu Fan, and flew off with Xing towards her cave.

"What happened? Is there anything unexpected?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"It was not easy to reach the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty. The Regent Princess there valued me highly and held a grand welcome ceremony."

"Just as I was about to meet her, I was kidnapped by a sister-in-law from my past life and was trapped in a secret realm for a while," Wang Yulun briefly explained his recent experiences.

"You got taken from the welcome ceremony in the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty!" Xu Fan speculated that his good brother’s sister-in-law must be a being above the Great Luo.

"Yes, the key point is that I learned from this sister-in-law that I have at least six confidantes of this level," Wang Yulun said with a headache.

"Six of them!" Xu Fan exclaimed in shock.

"They are at the same level; I don’t know how many more there are," Wang Yulun sighed.

"Don’t worry; having more accounts means fewer problems. If there are too many lice, they won’t bite. If you can’t manage it, just go with the flow," Xu Fan said, patting his good brother’s shoulder in comfort.

"What do you mean by ‘go with the flow’?" Wang Yulun asked with a confused expression.

"That means you just lie there, and whoever comes, you accept. For your past life’s confidantes, just recognize as many as there are. If it gets too complicated, you can rotate them according to their level and fighting strength," Xu Fan said with a laugh.

"Big Brother Xu, please don’t joke about that; doing that will easily cause problems." Wang Yulun suddenly shivered at the thought of his past life’s confidantes clashing over him.

He felt that those past-life confidantes would indeed cause chaos.

The human race in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm facing attacks from several tribes was just a minor issue.

"I was only joking. Since your sister-in-law won’t let you leave the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, just stay well in the sect. When you’re bored, feel free to explore other places."

"With your sister-in-law around, no one will dare to touch you."

Xu Fan sensed an extremely powerful force around Wang Yulun, a power that felt stronger than the Great Luo Saint in his perception.

No one, whether they were Golden Immortals or Great Luo Saints, would approach his good brother without feeling this warning from that force.

"Alright, I’ll focus on cultivating in the sect. At the very least, I need to reach the Golden Immortal Realm; otherwise, I might be looked down upon," Wang Yulun resolved, feeling his fate twisted in a very complex vortex.

Besides feeling like his body was his own, everything else seemed to be controlled by someone else.

"Just cultivate; if you can stay in the sect for a few epochs, with me backing you up, I guarantee your harem will be stable and secure," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Hopefully, I can hold on until then~" Wang Yulun chuckled.

"Big Brother Xu, we originally planned to go to the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty to find you a backer, but unfortunately, we came back empty-handed, leaving you with dashed hopes."

"Who says we don’t have a backer? Right now, you are the biggest backer of the Hidden Spirit Sect."

"With you in the sect, no blind Golden Immortal or Great Luo Sage would dare to mess with us," Xu Fan said with a grin, sensing the power within his good friend.

Meanwhile, Pang Fu, who was handling business in a Giant City, suddenly got a message from Xu Fan.

"Lift all restrictions; the sect can now sell openly."

Reading this, Pang Fu’s mind raced, and his demeanor subtly shifted.

"Friend Pang, the batch of immortal ores you wanted is no longer available for external sale by our Immortal Sect. I hope you understand," the chairman of the trading association said with a haughty tone, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Alright, if your Immortal Sect won’t allow it, then forget it," Pang Fu replied with a smile, standing up to leave.

The chairman looked slightly surprised; he had hoped to make a big profit but didn’t expect this "sheep" to be so uncooperative.

As soon as Pang Fu left the trading association, he quickly contacted Grape.

"Get me 1,000 true immortal puppets and 2,000 standard Quasi-Immortal artifacts," Pang Fu requested urgently.

"Within fifteen minutes, everything will be teleported to your association’s spatial treasury," Grape replied.

"It’s been tough; I’ve been held back in the Immortal Realm for so long, and now I can finally make my move," Pang Fu said excitedly.

Although he could make profits by acting as a middleman using the sect’s super long-distance teleportation array, he still couldn’t avoid being cut by the manufacturers, who took the lion’s share.

Now, being able to sell his own products was far better than being stuck as a middleman.

After all, in the Immortal Realm, there were many major forces with super long-distance teleportation arrays, and his small advantage didn’t earn much Immortal Jade.

As the years passed, more and more disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect advanced to true immortal level, and nearly 40% of the disciples were out training.

The fourth-generation disciples in the sect also began to break through to the Golden Core Stage one after another.

At that moment, in the underground space, all the production lines were running at full capacity.

Various true immortal-level puppet production lines, standard Quasi-Immortal artifact production lines, large-scale healing elixir production lines, and various true immortal-grade talisman production lines were all in operation.

Every minute these production lines ran, they generated a significant amount of Immortal Jade for the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Having a backer feels different~" Xu Fan said with a smile in the courtyard.

In recent years, the puppets and celestial tools sold by the Hidden Spirit Sect had caught the attention of major trading powers.

Almost every now and then, Golden Immortals or even Great Luo Sages would reach out to the Hidden Spirit Sect through Pang Fu.

On the surface, they acted politely, but in reality, they were probing for weaknesses.

The strong would compete, and the weak would be swallowed.

Whenever a powerful being representing a major force visited, Xu Fan would politely invite them in for a cup of tea, accompanied by his good friend.

Upon sensing the power emanating from Wang Yulun, Golden Immortals or Great Luo Sages would suddenly feel like frightened dogs before a tiger.

Those Golden Immortals or Great Luo Sages would first apologize and then offer the most representative gifts of their apology before leaving with their tails between their legs.

During these moments, Xu Fan would enjoy watching their awkward retreat from outside the sect.

"Having a major backer is truly awesome!" Xu Fan couldn’t help but exclaim.
