Invincible starts with predatory terms

Yang Fan, accompanied by Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er, steered the spirit boat and slowly descended outside the mountain gate of the Fangtian Sect.

The immense Fangtian Sect stood majestically atop the mountain peak, towering and magnificent, its immortal aura veiled in swirling clouds. Countless spirit boats of various shapes and sizes came and went, and many cultivation experts moved about, creating an atmosphere that was both lively and tense.

"Master, is this the Fangtian Sect?" Li Changsheng asked, his face filled with curiosity as he gazed at the spectacular sight before him.

"Indeed, Changsheng, this is not only a paradise for cultivators but also a place where opportunities converge."

Yang Fan narrowed his eyes, surveying the surroundings, then turned to Li Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, be extra careful here. The Danxuan Tower has powerful experts overseeing it. If you don't understand something or need help, don't hesitate to seek them out."

Li Ling'er nodded firmly, but a hint of reluctance still flashed in her eyes: "Master, Senior Brother, please take care of yourselves. I'll be back soon."

"Go on, focus on your cultivation." Yang Fan gently patted her shoulder, and Li Changsheng gave his sister an encouraging smile. As Li Ling'er's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Yang Fan and Li Changsheng turned and headed towards the Wuxiang Pavilion.

The Wuxiang Pavilion was the busiest trading center in the Fangtian Sect, where one could not only find rare resources and treasures but also have the chance to meet forces from all sides.

"Master, what should we look for first?" Li Changsheng asked as they walked.

"We need to find something called the Divine Blessing Spirit Fruit." Yang Fan explained as they walked, "It's an excellent spiritual medicine for enhancing the power of the 'Heaven Defying Sword Manual,' and it's extremely important for my cultivation breakthrough."

As they spoke, they passed through the bustling crowd, surrounded by a dazzling array of exotic treasures that captivated both Yang Fan and Li Changsheng.

Suddenly, Yang Fan noticed a crowd gathered in front of a stall, and he smiled slightly: "It seems something interesting is happening here." They approached, only to see a man in a golden robe arguing with the stall owner. The man was imposing, actually one of the core disciples of the Vajra Sect, and he was accompanied by several fellow disciples, clearly haggling over some treasure.

Yang Fan had to remain calm amidst such chaos, maneuvering between the various forces. Thoughts raced through his mind, realizing that he had to be cautious to avoid losing control of the situation. However, no matter what, Yang Fan knew that as long as there was an opportunity, he could rely on the Heavenly Fate Plunder System to seize ownership of the treasure and use it to break through his cultivation bottleneck, advancing to the supreme realm of the sword.

"It seems the real challenge has just begun." Yang Fan thought silently in his heart, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing on his lips.

The crowd surged like a tide, the clamor unabated, as he and Li Changsheng moved step by step towards their new goal. The noise of the market and the surrounding whispers converged in Yang Fan's ears, but his thoughts were like a fine thread on an icy surface, tightly outlining every change in the situation. The golden-robed man hesitated, looking at Yang Fan, then back at the treasure in his hand. "This price isn't very reasonable…"

He muttered softly, clearly weighing something. Just then, the Miaoyin Palace disciple stepped forward, her eyes flashing with shrewdness, and interjected, "Why argue any further? Why not let me judge?"

She gently waved her sleeve, and a refreshing fragrance spread out, causing many cultivators around to involuntarily take a step back, fearing being manipulated by some unknown spell. Yang Fan felt a sense of alertness in his heart, the subtle perception of the Heavenly Fate Plunder System telling him that this woman was deep and not to be underestimated.

However, he still wore a faint smile on his face: "The Miaoyin Palace is indeed extraordinary. How about we ask this fairy to give us a fair judgment?"

At this moment, Li Changsheng quietly stood behind his master, his expression tense but with a strange excitement—it was the first time since entering the world that he had participated in such a complex entanglement. The Miaoyin Palace disciple placed the treasure in her palm, closed her eyes and circulated her energy for a moment, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by her, causing the air to tremble slightly.

Then, she opened her eyes slightly, her tone indifferent: "This thing is not ordinary, but it is not too precious either."

Hearing this, the golden-robed man looked displeased, but he no longer insisted on a high price. The deterrent effect of the Miaoyin Palace disciple's words was obvious.

"Then what price are you willing to offer?" Yang Fan asked, his words carrying a sense of leisure, as if he was already confident in winning the treasure. In the end, after several rounds of negotiation, the situation eased slightly under Yang Fan's skillful words and confident demeanor, and the attitudes of all parties softened towards Yang Fan.

The golden-robed man reluctantly agreed to a deal at a fair price. At this moment, in another part of the Yuanshan Sect, Li Ling'er was in quiet cultivation when she suddenly frowned slightly, her heart stirred, as if she vaguely sensed some kind of crisis from her Senior Brother Yang Fan.

Without much thought, she immediately decided to use her spiritual power to assist, to lend her Senior Brother a hand.

Yang Fan calmly took the treasure, his peripheral vision noticing that although the Miaoyin Palace disciple had no intention of competing for it, her eyes were deep, as if she had other plans. He secretly warned himself to remain vigilant.

After the matter was settled, he inconspicuously handed the treasure to Li Changsheng for safekeeping, and then discussed the next plan with him.

"Li Changsheng, we should pay a visit to that highly respected senior. The sooner the better."

Yang Fan said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with determination, "This encounter has given us valuable experience, but we must be more cautious in future transactions."

Li Changsheng nodded, his eyes full of trust and admiration for his master. He knew that after Yang Fan used the Heavenly Fate Plunder System, he would definitely reach a higher level.

After the two had discussed everything, they set off towards the residence of that legendary old senior who had been in seclusion for many years and did not concern himself with worldly affairs. As night gradually fell, the market returned to calm, with only the hazy moonlight witnessing the surging undercurrents of this group of cultivators. This long road called "cultivation" was far from over. Yang Fan and Li Changsheng were taking steps towards their predetermined goal, the supreme realm of the sword.

Yang Fan and Li Changsheng rode the Divine Peng, the sky rolling beneath them, the mountains flowing past them. The blue sky above them was like a sapphire, shimmering in the light of the spiritual energy, when Li Changsheng couldn't help but say, "Master, the spiritual energy here is many times richer than in the Yuanshan Sect."

"Indeed," Yang Fan smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping over the rolling mountains below, turning his gaze to the distant, dreamlike secret realm, "Don't be impatient. When we reach Senior Li Dashan's hermitage, there will definitely be more extraordinary things."

A few strands of curiosity arose in Li Ling'er's heart. She recalled the legends about this master that her master Yang Fan had once mentioned: Li Dashan was a senior who possessed both wisdom and strength. It was rumored that he had once challenged ten sects alone in his youth, establishing a fearsome reputation.

She asked softly, "Master, will Senior Li Dashan be willing to help us?"

Yang Fan looked at Ling'er gently and nodded, "We will treat him with sincerity. Even if there are any difficulties, there won't be no room for maneuver."

Soon, they crossed the last ridge, and the appearance of the secret realm gradually became clear. It was indeed like a fairyland, with clear mountains and rivers, and a faint fragrance floating in the air. Both Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er expressed their sincere appreciation and admiration for this beautiful scenery.

Li Ling'er quickly took out the handbook that her senior brother had specially prepared for her from her bosom, carefully recording every detail. Just then, slight footsteps came from the depths of the dense forest, and Li Dashan walked out slowly, his demeanor still elegant. Whether it was his steady pace or his youthful spirit, they all showed his extraordinary cultivation. "Yang Fan, you've finally come."
