Chapter 101 - 101: Misfortune ah-
Xu Fan looked at the flying cars whizzing by and felt that this was the thriving image of the Cultivation World.
A world could not be stagnant with no progress for hundreds of thousands of years.
At this moment, Xu Fan and the others had already finished reading the contents of the Jade Slip, and they were all excited about establishing a sect in such a place.
Shopkeeper, give us ten All-Land Communicative Tools of Treasure Artifact Type 2. The name didnt sound very impressive.
Alright! The cultivator dressed as a shopkeeper brightened his eyes, as this was a big deal for him.
After a while, a staff member came in front of everyone with a tray, on which were square-shaped thin pieces made of Spirit Crystals.
Xu Fan picked them up and gave one to everyone, then he purchased a batch of Runes in the Chamber of Commerce.
When they left, the chamber of commerce shopkeepers face had blossomed into a smile.
What a quality customer, what a lovely person, the shopkeeper waved goodbye to everyone in his heart.
Inside a luxurious inn in Immortal City, Xu Fan and his ten companions were discussing how to proceed.
A virtual map of the entire Central Continent was directly projected into the air by Xu Fans Light and Shadow Technique, which he bought at the Chamber of Commerce. It is a simple map.
If we want to establish a sect, we must first register with the Elders Association, said Xu Yuexian.
Theres no alternative. The Elders Association has an absolute dominant position in the Central Continent, and I think their concept is excellent. Wang Yulun said, having learned from the Jade Slip that all the large-scale public facilities in the Central Continent were established by the Elders Association.
Apparently, sects have a grading system, with the top being the Ninth Level Sect and the smallest being the first level.
It is said that the higher the level of the sect, the greater the power it possesses, said Xu Gang.
The matter of the sect is fine. Now lets choose the location, Xu Fan said, and then waved his hand again, and the map was filled with dense red dots, each representing a sect. The larger the red dot, the higher the level of the sect.
Now our goal is to find a few suitable places to establish a sect, and then go and investigate them separately.
The location should preferably have fewer sects, more resources, and easier recruitment of disciples, Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
It was like finding a job, everyone preferred one with high pay, fewer duties, and close to home, but sometimes they could only choose one thing.
Also, it would be best if the place has convenient transportation, like the Flying Car Network that runs throughout the Central Continent.
After hearing Xu Fans words, everyone rolled their eyes. All good things should go to you.
At this moment, Xu Gang suddenly pointed to a spot on the map and said, Master, how about here? The Endless Sea, the Abyss Forest, and not far from an Immortal City.
The most crucial thing is that there is no sect in that area.
Everyone looked at the place Xu Gang pointed to, and then all shook their heads.bender
Husband, there must be a reason why theres no sect established in such a prime location, said Xiao Xi, who was sitting next to Xu Gang, softly.
Since theres a problem there, we can solve it.
With Master here, theres no problem we cant solve, Xu Gang said proudly. In his eyes, his master could do anything except give birth to a child.
This silly guy. Xu Fan was speechless.
Fine, Ill personally investigate this spot. You guys choose a few more spots, and well act separately.
Everyone then chose another five suitable places to establish the sect and decided to leave for the survey the next day.
On the second day, Xu Fan, with a changed face, walked out of the Seaside Immortal City Teleportation Array.
Upon stepping out of the teleportation array, Xu Fan felt a desolate vibe in the Immortal City. The city was vast, but it seemed a bit bleak now.
According to Xu Fans judgment, this city should have been very prosperous in the past, but its now on the decline.
Xu Fan walked on the main street, looking at the few shops open on the side, and strolled into a random hotel.
The originally lazy waiter immediately perked up when he saw someone coming, Welcome, sir!
Seeing the alert waiter, Xu Fan nodded. The waiter was the best choice for obtaining information.
Serve a few dishes with your specialty, and a pot of Spirit Tea, Xu Fan said indifferently.
Alright, sir, please wait a moment. The waiter quickly returned to report the dishes.
Perhaps because there were few guests in the shop, the waiter brought three dishes and a soup in no time.
Sir, we have Deep Sea Spirit Shrimp, Jade Crystal Cage, Spicy Blood Clams, and Thousand Mushroom Soup. The waiter was about to leave but was stopped by Xu Fan.
Dont go, I have a question for you. Xu Fan held ten Spirit Stones in his hand, signaling the waiter to perform well, and the Spirit Stones would be his.
The waiters eyes lit up, as this was half a years salary for him.
Sir, please ask. I have been here for twenty years, and no one has more information than me.
Why is there no sect stationed near this Immortal City? The location seems quite good, Xu Fan asked.
This Immortal City used to be the First Western Immortal City a thousand years ago, with countless sects stationed here, even a Ninth Level Sect.
However, as the surrounding spiritual mine resources were depleted, the shallow sea resources of the Endless Sea were also destructively exploited, resulting in no more renewable resources in the nearby sea.
Here gradually began to decline and, combined with several large-scale waves of Demonic Beasts, the entire city fell into decadence, and the original sects all moved away.
Upon saying this, the waiter sighed. His ancestors had once been glorious as well.
Are there no resources left here? Xu Fan asked.
Its not that there are none, there are still many Spirit Iron Mines in the Abyss Forest, but they are deep in the forest where the environment is harsh, and demonic beasts are rampant, so mining is not very valuable, the waiter continued.
Every year, there were a few people like Xu Fan, but they all returned empty-handed. There had been no sect stationed here for hundreds of years.
Ten Spirit Stones drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the waiters hand.
This is for you.
Thank you for your reward!
The loud voice echoed throughout the wine pavilion.
At that moment, three people entered the hotel-an old man, a young girl, and a young man carrying a sword box.
Xu Fan, who was eating, casually glanced at them and then sighed deeply.
People with a thousand-mile destiny meet, but this was a bad thing. At a glance, Xu Fan recognized that the young man with the sword box was Ye
Xiaoyao, even though he had changed his face and disguised the sword box.
Even if the Treasure Artifact he had refined turned into ash, he would recognize it, so Xu Fan decided to go back after finishing his meal and establish a sect as far away from here as possible.
At this moment, the conversation between the three people came over, and Xu Fan ate slowly, listening to their conversation.
After paying the bill, Xu Fan walked out of the hotel and turned back to the teleportation array.
At this time, he decided to stay as far away from a sect called the Sword King
Sect as possible..
