Chapter 837: Doing Business in Western Desert


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    This was one of the seven most famous natural wonders of Western Desert – the movement of


    hundreds of thousands of sand dunes. It was like heaven was using a brush to sweep past most of the


    Western Desert, drawing a curved line. In this fixed curved path of moving sand dunes, there were no


    oases, no beasts and no rocks, there was only yellow sand. No one could stop it, even rank eight Gu


    Immortals were powerless.


    For these enormous moving sand dunes, Western Desert’s people named them impassable dunes,


    revealing their helplessness and confusion towards nature’s might.


    “Impassable dunes…” Fang Yuan, however, narrowed his eyes, and flew straight towards the sand


    dunes.


    He had concealed his figure, and flew right above the battlefield on the ground, but no one detected


    him.


    Several of Xiao n’s Gu Immortals were fighting on the impassable dunes, but they were at the


    periphery, even these Gu Immortals could not explore the inner areas.


    Their opponents were three enormous hidden sand spider queens, each was a deste beast.


    These hidden sand spider queens were like fish in water amidst the sandstorm, their hill-like colossal


    bodies were constantly letting out hidden sand spider groups.


    However, Xiao n’s Gu Immortals were well arranged and in good order.


    Xiao Hu Chi led the charge as the leader, shouting and roaring as he immersed himself in the thrill of


    battle.


    The deputy leader, Xiao Shi Rang, sighed, transmitting: “Leader, it is almost time, we have already


    achieved our objective of training them, we should order our Gu Masters to retreat now.”


    “If you had not said this, I would have forgotten it! Handle this by yourself, hahaha, these three hidden


    sand spider queens have weakened greatly, it is time to capture them.” Xiao Hu Chiughed wildly and


    was just about to attack, when his gaze suddenly focused in front of him and towards his left. He


    shouted: “Who’s there?!”


    Boom!


    The reply was a giant hand that passed through the sandstorm with an imposing air, directly grabbing a


    hidden sand spider queen.


    Xiao Hu Chi stared with a furious expression, but this giant hand’s timing was perfect, that hidden sand


    spider queen had just been forced back by Xiao n’s Gu Immortals when the giant hand smoothly


    grabbed it from behind, as if this hidden sand spider queen had gone straight into a trap.


    “Such guts! You dare to challenge Xiao n in our territory!!”


    “Thief, you want to reap the fruits of ourbor, you are unforgivable!”


    “Everyone, attack and capture this person, I, Xiao Hu Chi, must see who is so daring!”


    Xiao n’s Gu Immortals were furiously about to attack when suddenly, seven strength path giant


    hands emerged from the sandstorm.


    Bam bam bam!


    Intense banging sounded out, five rank six Gu Immortals of Xiao n were routed in panic.


    Only Xiao Hu Chi and Xiao Shi Rang, the two rank sevens, were able to fight equally with two giant


    hands.


    “This is rank seven battle strength!”


    “The enemy is extremely powerful, the two leaders have used their signature killer moves, but they


    actually haven’t made progress!!”


    “The other party still doesn’t seem to have used all their strength. This is the first time I have seen this


    strength path killer move, who in the world is this person?”


    Immediately, Xiao n’s Gu Immortals revealed heavy expressions.


    “No need to be nervous, I have no malicious intentions. Look.” Fang Yuan slowly flew out and revealed


    his appearance, his expression having a slight smile.


    Everyone’s gazes turned towards that hidden sand spider queen, which was already clenched firmly in


    the grasp of the strength path giant hand, screeching in pain and struggling desperately.


    “Captured just like that…”


    “This immortal killer move is really strong!”


    Xiao Hu Chi and Xiao Shi Rang nced at each other, seeing the vignce in each other’s eyes.


    If it were them, they could not aplish this so easily. Otherwise, Xiao n would not have sent so


    many Gu Immortals to capture the hidden sand spider queens.


    Fang Yuan was able to aplish this easily, one reason was because he had grasped the correct


    timing, when the hidden sand spider queen was greatly weakened, another reason was that after the


    merging of a second Immortal Gu, Pulling Mountain, into myriad self giant hand, its might had greatly


    increased and had even more power against earth path deste beasts like hidden sand spider


    queens.


    After grabbing the hidden sand spider queen, Fang Yuan appeared in front of Xiao n’s Gu Immortals


    of his own ord.


    “Sir, who might you be? What is your intention?” Sensing Fang Yuan’s good intention, Xiao Hu Chi


    asked in a low voice.


    Fang Yuan chuckled: “I am nothing more than a nameless lone cultivator of Western Desert, living in


    seclusion over my life. Not long ago, I had no choice but to be an immortal zombie, only then did I


    come out into the open. I am here because I want to do a long term trade with your esteemed n. I


    wonder if you are interested in regretful spider groups?”


    “Oh? Regretful spiders?” Xiao n’s Gu Immortals felt joyous.


    Xiao n possessed an Immortal Gu House, Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor, ‘ten thousand li’ was only a


    general name, the entire Immortal Gu House was far longer than ten thousand li.


    This Immortal Gu House had a very special function, as long as there were enough mortal spider Gu, it


    could be spread out and built everywhere. If looked on from a bird’s eye point of view, it would


    resemble a giant spider web spread over Western Desert.


    And the surface of the floor of this Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor was smooth like silk. Anything ced


    on it could be transported at an extremely fast speed.


    Xiao n was one of the richest among Western Desert’s super forces. The most important reason


    was because Xiao n possessed this Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor.


    Any Immortal Gu House was a unified construct involving defense, attack, movement, healing,


    investigative and other aspects.


    Be it Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Water Pavilion, Heaven Overseeing Tower, Red Fiend Divine


    Boat, Profound Ice House or any other Immortal Gu House, they all were like this, they could be


    considered war fortresses.


    Xiao n spread Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor everywhere, transporting goods and earning a fortune.


    However, Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor’s usage consumedrge numbers of mortal spider Gu.


    Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor was Xiao n’s economic lifeline, thus Xiao n had to gather a very


    large quantity of mortal spider Gu every year to maintain Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor.


    This time, Xiao Hu Chi and Xiao Shi Rang led the group to capture hidden sand spider queens, it was


    to raise them in the n’s headquarters. Every set interval of time, the blood of the hidden sand spider


    queen would be drawn and their flesh would be cut, then the n’s Gu Masters would gather to refine


    large amounts of mortal spider Gu.


    Despite Xiao n’s own management fulfilling a portion of the requirement, there was still a shortfall


    left, which would have to be filled by purchasingrge numbers of mortal spider Gu from the market.


    Moreover, therger the number of mortal spider Gu and the greater the variety of them, the more


    beneficial it would be in the operation of Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor.


    Xiao n’s Gu Immortal group was naturally excited, Xiao Hu Chi asked immediately: “How many


    regretful spiders do you have, sir, and how will we make the transaction?”


    Fang Yuanughed, reporting a number, the joyous light in Xiao Hu Chi’s eyes faded in an instant.


    Fang Yuan then spoke: “I can supply your esteemed n with this number of mortal spider Gu every


    month.”


    Xiao Hu Chi beamed with delight.


    “As for how to trade them…” Fang Yuan said slowly: “Isn’t your Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor the best


    way? Give me a token for a nearby node of Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor, every month on the thirtieth,


    I will arrive at this node, ce the goods and take the payment.”


    “Then what is the price of sir’s goods?” Xiao Shi Rang chipped in.


    “No rush.” Fang Yuan waved his hand, “Let’s discuss the price after you look at the quality of the


    goods.”


    Fang Yuan took out a sample, Xiao n’s Gu Immortals were greatly pleased at the quality.


    These regretful spiders came from a super force of Northern ins, Dong Fang tribe, it would be


    strange if Xiao n’s Gu Immortals were not satisfied.


    Fang Yuan quoted a price.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    After a round of bargaining, the two sides settled on a price andpleted the first transaction on the


    spot. Xiao Hu Chi made the payment on behalf of Xiao n, and Fang Yuan also obtained a node


    token.


    After thepletion of the transaction, he turned around and left.


    Xiao Hu Chi and the rest of the group returned to Xiao n’s headquarters, and immediately reported


    this to Xiao n’s first supreme elder.


    The first supreme elder slowly nodded his head after learning of the details: “Little Hu, you did well, the


    contribution points for this task will be doubled.”


    Xiao Hu Chi said in a heavy voice: “Lord, it is just that this person appeared too suddenly. A rank six


    immortal zombie with rank seven battle strength! Does lord know of his origins?”


    The first supreme elder smiled indifferently: “Western Desert is vast, there are naturally many Gu


    Immortals who remain in seclusion, this is not something I can knowpletely. Immortal zombies


    cannot produce immortal essence by themselves, it is not strange for them to be forced toe out of


    seclusion. Since this person wants to do business sincerely, we will cooperate with them for now. Our


    n has an unceasing demand for mortal spider Gu. If the cooperation is pleasant, there is no problem


    with handing out one of Xiao n’s transaction tokens to him.”


    “Lord, are we not going to investigate him?”


    The first supreme elder thought for a moment before saying: “I know what you mean, since the other


    party can supply goods for a long time, he must have other blessednds. Okay… investigate him a


    little for a while, we cannot treat him like a normal immortal zombie. The most important thing right now


    is the contest with Dong n to upy the market in the northwest side. We need to spread Ten


    Thousand Li Silk Corridor as fast as possible.”


    “I understand, lord first supreme elder.” Xiao Hu Chi saw the first supreme elder shutting his eyes to


    rest, he understood the message and gave a respectful bow before quietly leaving.


    A few dayster.


    Central Continent, Floating Flower Riverbank, Hearing Wave Pavilion.


    Therge force, Hearing Wave Pavilion, was generally a secluded sect, but it was now bustling like a


    market.


    This was the one of the test locations for the seventh round of the Refinement Path Convention.


    A round of thepetition had just ended.


    Everyone in the audience was discussing and eximing, with countless gazes gathered on Fang


    Yuan.


    Fang Yuan was clothed in a ck robe, he wore a mask on his face, just like previously. Silently and


    unhurriedly, he walked out of the stage.


    Many gazes moved followed his slow movement, while another portion of people stared at the rankings


    on the wall with shock.


    Right now, Fang Yuan’s name was imprinted on first ce!


    “Demonic cultivator Fang Yuan has seized first ce seven times in a row! Amazing, truly amazing,


    this performance means he has master level attainment at least!”


    “With such talents and ability, there is a high chance that he can pass the famous nightmarish eighth


    round of the Refinement Path Convention.”


    “When can I have such ability?” Among the crowd, Hong Yi gazed at Fang Yuan’s receding figure, his


    heart filled with yearning. For some reason, while others disliked Fang Yuan’s style as a demonic


    cultivator, Hong Yi, as a disciple of the righteous path’s Universal Life Academy, did not feel any dislike


    towards Fang Yuan.


    Hong Yi had great luck and huge potential, but his skills were too thinly spread out and he was


    eliminated pitifully at the second round.


    “Do you guys think Fang Yuan can fight his way into the finals just like this?”


    “Youngster, you are thinking about the finals now? Hehehe, it is too early, too early!”


    “That’s right, who knows how many dragons and snakes are in Central Continent’s Refinement Path


    Convention, the water here is too deep. The previous seven rounds were no more than the initial


    portion of thepetition. The true essence and brilliance of the Refinement Path Convention lies in


    theter parts of thepetition.”
