Chapter 995: The Blank Slate Business Association

"Let’s start with the low-level Celestial satellite railguns," Xiong Li finally accepted Grape’s suggestion.

"I never thought I, Xiong Li, would end up using Celestial satellite railguns for body refinement," Xiong Li sighed.

It’s worth noting that the Celestial railguns were crafted by the Hidden Spirit Sect in the lower realm to deal with enemies at the Transformation Stage, and now they were just collecting dust in the sect’s treasury.

Just as Xiong Li was about to begin his body refinement, Xiang Yun, who was nearby refining his consciousness, opened his eyes.

"Senior Brother, using the Celestial satellite railguns is too much trouble; we’d need Grape to fetch them from the treasury," Xiang Yun said.

"Do you have a better idea?" Xiong Li looked at Xiang Yun.

"I’ve only just been revived, and some marks of the sword formation techniques haven’t yet been imprinted in my consciousness."

"How about this: I’ll find a set of artifact-level Spiritual Swords to practice the sword formations, and you can withstand the pressure within the formation."

"You practice body refinement, and I’ll work on the sword formations; it’s a win-win," Xiang Yun said with a smile.

Xiong Li’s eyes brightened; he felt this method could work.

"Let’s go. We’ll start right now."

In the Source Realm, within Xu Fan’s exclusive Time Acceleration Small World.

"I didn’t expect there would be so many Time Cloud Crystals hidden in the Space Artifact given by Big Brother," Xu Fan remarked, looking at the pile of Time Cloud Crystals before him, stacked like a small mountain.

At the time, Xu Fan had exchanged for Immortal Jade based on the Time Treasures in the Space Artifact.

Little did he know, during the exchange, Big Brother had pulled a fast one, moving in more Time Treasures than originally offered.

"Grape, calculate how long we can accelerate time."

"13,000 years. After that, you’ll still need 21,000 years to advance to the true immortal realm," Grape responded encouragingly.

"Converted to Immortal Jade, that would be 450 million," Grape added.

"450 million? So that means it’s pretty fast!"

"As long as Pang Fu sells the production line and with 300 million Immortal Jade from relying on good friends, advancing to the true immortal realm will be just around the corner," Xu Fan said, his expression changing slightly.

After advancing to true immortal, he would be able to accomplish much more.

First, he could achieve peak mastery in various unconventional paths, such as artifact crafting, alchemy, and talismans.

Especially in artifact crafting, combined with his understanding and the top-level holy fire, Xu Fan felt he could refine a lower-tier Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

Although there were no rumors in the Immortal Realm about artifact great masters being able to craft Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, Xu Fan believed with his balanced development at the peak level of artifact great master, he should be able to do it.

As long as he could refine a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, even the lowest grade would pave the way for future endeavors.

"This is definitely good news; I’ll focus on time acceleration for now, and we can discuss the rest later," Xu Fan said as he sat cross-legged in the center of the small world, slowly closing his eyes.

The entire small world also entered a time acceleration state.

In a small dojo beneath the main peak of the Hidden Spirit Sect, thousands of disciples, newly revived as blank slates, gathered with disciples from the Business World for a meeting.

Qian Bing stood at the front, declaring, "It’s already troublesome enough for the sect because of our revival, so we have to handle everything ourselves now; we can’t let the Grand Elder worry anymore."

"We gathered here with one purpose: to acquire Immortal Jade, acquire Immortal Jade, and still acquire Immortal Jade."

"So, I’m planning to unite all the revived disciples for self-rescue. What does it matter if thousands of years of accumulation are lost? As long as the sect is intact, we can start all over again."

The disciples below listened to Qian Bing’s passionate speech and felt a surge of fighting spirit.

“Yes, we can’t keep burdening the sect; we must unite and save ourselves.”

“Senior Brother Qian, tell us what to do, and we’ll follow your lead!”

“Senior Brother Qian is right; only by acquiring Immortal Jade can we save ourselves.”

The disciples below began to chatter excitedly.

“This time, I’ve teamed up with several disciples from the Business World, leveraging some of the sect’s advantages to establish a business association. As long as my brothers join, everyone will get a share.”

“We’ll start with basic buying and selling, then gradually expand.”

“With over 34,000 true immortals, if we all work together, we can definitely make the association strong and successful.”

“In just a few years, we might recover what took us thousands of years to accumulate, and we could even be better off than before,” Qian Bing declared loudly.

He was all in; becoming a blank slate meant that if he continued doing tasks like before, accumulating Immortal Jade and points, he’d never make progress in thousands of years.

So he decided to seize this opportunity, gathering fellow blank slate brothers to form a business association—it was better than struggling alone.

At that moment, Song Ming stepped forward and projected a massive light curtain in mid-air.

It displayed a detailed plan for the business association.

“In the areas permitted by the sect within the Immortal Realm, there are many businesses we can undertake using our advantages,” Song Ming explained, projecting another light curtain showing the regions covered by the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Door of Void Realm.

“In this area, our teleportation is almost free. We can quickly dominate low-end resale markets, and with good management, we might even monopolize them.”

“Plus, with the sect’s disciples skilled in crafting low-end treasures, pills, and talismans, our association can firmly establish itself in this region’s business world.”

“As long as we avoid stepping on the toes of major forces, I guarantee every brother can earn 100,000 Immortal Jade within a thousand years.”

As Song Ming laid out the plan, the eyes of the blank slate disciples grew brighter.

One disciple asked, “Does the sect support our business association?”

“Of course! Grape even provided many low-priced sect-specific products, using production lines the sect no longer needs,” Song Ming replied.

The disciples below felt reassured.

Just then, Xiong Li and Xiang Yun arrived at the dojo.

“We were training and missed the news,” Xiong Li explained, noticing the attention on him.

“Senior Brother, you’re our leader; don’t jeopardize your training!” Qian Bing exclaimed, sounding deeply concerned.

“We—”

Before Qian Bing could finish, Xiong Li punched him, sending him flying into the sky like a shooting star.

“If anyone still has doubts, speak up, and I’ll explain!” Xiong Li scanned the crowd with his fierce gaze.

“Haha, how could we misunderstand?”

“Senior Brother is full of integrity, and Senior Brother Xiang Yun is dashing and composed; no one would think otherwise,” the disciples chuckled, eager to avoid Qian Bing’s fate.

The meeting continued, and under Xiong Li’s encouragement, all the blank slate disciples joined the business association.

Soon after, in Golden City, a business association named Blank Slate was established.
