Chapter 1435 What use are you to me then?
Just then, Su Fan suddenly frowned, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh.

"By the way, there is indeed something I need to trouble you seniors with..."

Upon hearing this, the God of Haoran perked up and leaned forward slightly.

"Just ask, and we will do our utmost to help without hesitation..."

Su Fan pondered for a moment, then said, "The market has enough manpower, but... but the number of female cultivators is really too small..."

The moment the words left their mouths, the smiles on the faces of Haoran and the others froze. They exchanged glances, their lips curving into unnatural smiles.

They certainly understood Su Fan's meaning; after all, this market was a place for frontline cultivators to relax and unwind.

Those cultivators about to go online to fight for their lives face an uncertain future. And those who have just come down from the front lines are filled with resentment.

It goes without saying what kind of entertainment these people need most when they come to this market to relax and have fun.

Haoran the God-Emperor cleared his throat, concealing the embarrassment on his face, and sat up straight, saying, "Leave this matter to me..."

Seeing the doubt in Su Fan's eyes, he simply said frankly, "We can think of a way from the other planes that have come to provide support. There are tens of thousands of cultivators who have come to 'New Light Heaven' this time. Surely we can find some suitable female cultivators..."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan's tense shoulders instantly relaxed.

You know what, this old guy's method is actually pretty good. I bet there will be a lot of female cultivators willing to come to the market to work in the entertainment industry.

Selling seafood at the market is better than risking your life on the front lines, right?

After explaining a few more details to Su Fan, the God of Haoran took his leave with everyone.

Now, the cave market is all set, only lacking the right opportunity.

Once the supporting cultivators from other planes arrive, this cave market will be ready to open for business.

A few days later, Su Fan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy was sweeping in from afar.

With a swift movement, he shot out of the cave like an arrow.

Just as they arrived at the cave entrance, they saw Cai Songlin and Xie Feng, master and apprentice, running wildly from a distance, their faces flushed.

"Seniors... they're here, they're here..." Cai Songlin shouted at the top of his lungs, his excitement almost bursting through the sky.

Su Fan glanced at his naive and unsophisticated appearance, completely ignored the two of them, and walked straight out of the market.

Cai Songlin and Xie Feng exchanged a glance, then hurriedly followed, jogging all the way to the square outside the market.

The opening of the Star Gate triggered the nearby underground spiritual veins, causing quite a commotion.

The busy cultivators in the market put down their work and followed the commotion to the square, craning their necks to look towards the Star Gate.

Su Fan stopped and stood still, his divine sense spreading out like a tide.

Above the distant valley, countless enormous flying ships, as massive as mountains, roared out from the Star Gate, creating a breathtaking spectacle that blotted out the sun.

Su Fan had experienced such grand occasions many times, so he wasn't particularly excited.

But for Cai Songlin and his apprentice, as well as the cultivators in the market, this was probably the most exciting experience of their lives. They were all stunned and forgot to breathe.

Su Fan turned to look at the master and apprentice behind him and said calmly, "Old Cai, hurry up and prepare. The market should open by tomorrow at the latest..."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the cave in the market, and Old Cai quickly followed.

"Senior, please don't go! The opening of the market is such a big event, and we need you to take charge of everything..."

These words almost made Su Fan burst out laughing. "I've laid out the rules for you clearly, and you still can't even follow them? Do you expect me to teach you how to do things step by step?"

You rely on me for everything, so what use are you to me?

"Old Cai, it's up to you now. Just do things the way we discussed before, and don't come to me with every little thing..."

After saying this, Su Fan left the dumbfounded Cai Songlin behind and went straight back to his cave.

He had just sat down on the jade couch in the hall when several maids quickly prepared the spiritual tea.

Su Fan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and glanced at their faces.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Go and call everyone else here. I have something to say..."

The maids looked at each other, completely bewildered.

One of them reacted quickly and ran out. A moment later, more than thirty beautiful female cultivators gathered in the hall of the cave.

Su Fan summoned them here because he wanted these beautiful girls to go to the club in the market.

For Su Fan, there was no need for them to serve him every day.

These young girls, trained by "Old Demon Beizhong," are masters of seduction, captivating hearts and souls with their quiet allure. No one can resist them.

So Su Fan thought he would take this opportunity to get rid of them.

These pretty girls have long been trained by "Old Demon Beizhong". If they went to a place like a club, they wouldn't need any training and could start working right away.

Moreover, Su Fan estimated that most of them would choose to go to the club.

After all, those who go there for entertainment are disciples of major super sects and scions of high-level cultivation families. They can make a fortune just by letting a little bit of their personal information slip by.

As Su Fan had expected, apart from a few girls, the rest of them chose to go to the clubhouse in the market.

Seeing that most people chose to leave the cave, Su Fan quickly found Cai Songlin and asked him to take the girls away.

Watching the girls' backs as they walked away, Su Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the cave was finally quiet again.

After dismissing the young female cultivators from the cave, Su Fan entered his personal secret realm.

Su Fan had already decided that he would hand over the entire responsibility for the Cave Market to Cai Songlin from now on, as he didn't want to get involved at all.

Why not just stay comfortably in your personal virtual world every day? Why bother with all that other nonsense?

The next day at noon, a large number of cultivators from other planes followed the guidance of Haoran God and others and poured into the market.

By the afternoon, the market was already packed with people, and Cai Songlin had no choice but to temporarily close the entrance to the cave.

Even so, the square outside the market was still crowded with cultivators, a dark mass stretching as far as the eye could see.

Fortunately, Su Fan had anticipated this and had Cai Songlin set up tables and chairs in the square as planned, and they simply set up a stall for an open-air barbecue.

The first few days after the opening of the Cave Market were complete chaos, with all sorts of problems arising one after another, but fortunately no one took it seriously.

After all, this is the only place within a radius of tens of thousands of miles where one can relax, so no matter how chaotic it is, one has to put up with it.

These past few days have been incredibly stressful for Cai Songlin. He's been constantly dealing with unexpected situations, and his hair has turned quite white from worry.

He tried to see Su Fan several times, but was turned away each time.

It wasn't until half a month later that the market gradually got back on track, and Cai Songlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, having lost a lot of weight.

However, from the very first day of its opening, the market's turnover was so high that even Su Fan was astonished.

He immediately instructed Cai Songlin to double the prices of all business operations.

As business boomed, prices rose again and again, eventually pushing the cost of living here to the sky.

Even so, the cultivators' enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Not only Su Fan, but even Haoran God Venerable and others were speechless for a long time after hearing about the gains of the past few days.

This cave market has become a veritable den of iniquity, where even the phrase "making a fortune every day" falls short of description. The daily income here is faster than robbery.

Su Fan didn't take the high profits from the cave market too seriously.

The main reason is that he is wealthy and doesn't care about such a small amount of money.

Furthermore, Su Fan knew that the profits from the Cave Market were too great, and with great success comes great scrutiny; it wouldn't be long before others coveted it.

Not only the cave market, but even the positions of Haoran God Venerable and others were taken by other members of the sect.

Therefore, Su Fan has always maintained a calm attitude towards the booming market.

Anyway, no matter who it is, if they dare to reach out to the Cave Market, they shouldn't even think about it without offering enough incentives.

In truth, Su Fan really didn't want to fight for these petty gains, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble over such trivial matters.

But if someone wants to seize it by force, they're really overthinking it.

If you piss me off, I'll flip the table and destroy this entire market.

Moreover, he would dare to disrupt anyone who dared to start a business nearby.

As Su Fan had predicted, the Cave Market ran into trouble after just over a year of operation.

That noon, Su Fan was comfortably relaxing in his personal secret realm when he suddenly frowned.

He stood up from the pool beside the grassy path, then left his personal secret realm and came to the cave outside.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Divine Lord Haoran requests an audience..."

Upon hearing the report from a young woman, Su Fan nodded and then walked out of the cave. He saw Haoran God Venerable standing outside the cave with a complicated expression.

"Uncle-Master... what brings you here..."

Haoran the God smiled and said, "I have something to discuss with you. Let's go inside and talk..."

Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, Su Fan could still sense a heaviness in his tone.

The two entered the cave and sat facing each other on the jade couch in the hall.

The maids quickly prepared the spiritual tea, poured it for the two of them, and then tactfully withdrew.

The Divine Lord Haoran picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "I'm about to leave here..."

Su Fan was not surprised to hear this; he had anticipated this situation.

Although Haoran Shenzun was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was only at the initial stage and was not considered a true high-ranking member of the Guangfa Dao Sect.

Moreover, the internal relationships within the sect are intricate and complex, with constant open and covert struggles among the higher-ups.

It was only a matter of time before the lucrative Cave Market attracted attention.

Not to mention himself, a newly joined inner disciple of the sect, even Haoran Divine Venerable and others would probably not escape the fate of being "picked from the peaches".

Su Fan looked at Haoran Divine Venerable expressionlessly and said bluntly, "Uncle-Master, someone has their eye on this lucrative market and wants to reap the rewards, hasn't that been the case..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Haoran God's eyes, followed by a touch of embarrassment.

"I've secured 20% of the profits for you, and you can continue serving as a deacon in the base's external affairs hall..."

This time, Su Fan was surprised. He didn't expect those people to be so greedy, actually leaving him 20% of the profits.

Little did he know the immense shock that Haoran Divine Venerable's report of his slaying of four ninth-tier flying beasts caused within the Guangfa Dao Sect.

Those forces that wanted to reap the benefits could bully Haoran and others, but they dared not truly offend him.

After all, Haoran and the others all have their own families within the sect, so even if they suffer losses, they have to consider the overall situation.

But Su Fan is different. Not only is he incredibly strong, but he also works alone and has no worries about anything.

If Su Fan is really pushed too far, he might just flip the table.

Moreover, Su Fan was the one who devised the business strategy for the market. If they kicked him out, they were really afraid they would mess things up.

Anyway, even though I lost 10% of the profits, I can still work as a deacon in the base's external affairs hall, so there's no problem.

As long as he doesn't go to the front lines, it's fine. It's good for him to stay here comfortably.

At least during the great war between the "Mountain and Sea Boundary" and the "New Guangtian", staying at the forward base in the rear was considered the best job.

"Uncle-Master, farewell, I won't see you off..."

Haoran God Venerable laughed and said, "Just focus on managing your sect well. With your strength, once you break through to the Integration Realm, try to compete for a chance to go to the Upper Realm..."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Su Fan was immediately stunned.

What the heck...

Unexpectedly, after breaking through to the Integration Realm in this realm, I actually have the opportunity to go to the Upper Realm.

"Uncle-Master, now that you've broken through to the Integration Realm, is there really a chance to go to the Upper Realm...?"

Upon hearing this, the Divine Lord Haoran looked at Su Fan as if he were a fool.

"Didn't your master tell you about this...?"

"Uncle-Master, I'm a rogue cultivator, and I've always cultivated alone. I don't have any master..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Haoran God Venerable suddenly realized what was going on.

Indeed, as Su Fan said, apart from super sects and high-level cultivation families, the low-level rogue cultivators have no idea about such things.

Even the lower-level cultivators of a sect are not told this by the higher-ups.

“Every few hundred years, cultivators in the late-stage Integration Realm from the major sects in our ‘Lingxuan Realm’ have a chance to go to the Upper Realm. As for the specifics, I don’t really know, since I’m only in the early-stage Integration Realm…”

What the hell...

I never expected to find such a good thing here after arriving in this realm.

But why has it that in his original realm, there has never been any opportunity for cultivators in the late stage of the Integration Realm to travel to the Upper Realm?

At this moment, Su Fan had an idea. He could take this opportunity to ask the old man about traveling to other realms.

"Uncle-Master, what do I need to do if I want to travel to other realms..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Haoran God Venerable frowned immediately.

Do you have the coordinates of that realm...?

Su Fan shook his head and said, "No..."

"That would be difficult. Perhaps you'd only find a way once you break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm..."

By the time I break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm, who knows when?

Seeing the disappointment on Su Fan's face, Haoran God Venerable quickly tried to comfort him.

"How about this, when I return to the sect, I'll ask my master for guidance. He's in the late stage of the Integration Realm..."

"Thank you, Martial Uncle. This disciple is deeply grateful..."
