Chapter 1521 What a wonderful thing!
Looking at the vast, undulating mountains ahead, Su Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Since joining the "Guangfa Daozong", he has spent very little time at the sect and naturally doesn't have any deep feelings for it.

Aside from his confidante, Aunt Hongling, with whom he had shared intimate relations, only his old friend, Senior Brother Hongshang, remained a truly close confidant.

Su Fan took a deep breath of the crisp mountain air, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

The next moment, his figure quietly appeared in front of the "Guangfa Daozong" mountain gate.

The disciples on duty at the mountain gate suddenly saw a figure appear without warning. They all thought they were seeing things and instinctively wanted to shout at him.

Fortunately, one of them recognized Su Fan in time and quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply in respect.

"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster Uncle Su Fan..."

The other disciples then realized what was happening and followed suit, bowing and paying their respects.

Su Fan waved his hand, nodded with a smile to the leading disciple, and then stepped into the mountain gate.

When he arrived at the main hall of the sect's main peak, the sect leader, Haoming, who had received a report from the disciples guarding the mountain, along with several top-ranking figures within the sect, had already been waiting there for a long time.

Looking at the several solemn-looking old men opposite him, Su Fan frowned almost imperceptibly.

Uncle Hongling once told him that all the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Guangfa Dao Sect had left the mountain to aid the Qianlun Realm.

The identity of the Haoming Divine Venerable before them, as well as the several elders beside him who also possessed late-stage Integration Realm cultivation, was self-evident; they were all avatars of cultivators from the Upper Realm.

Damn it, you send your sect cultivators to the front lines to risk their lives while you upper-realm avatars lie at your mountain gates and reap the benefits.

Upon thinking of this, Su Fan's anger suddenly surged up.

He suppressed his surging anger and stepped forward to bow respectfully.

"Disciple greets Sect Master..."

Upon hearing this, the God of Haoming laughed heartily, took a few steps forward, and grabbed his arm, his tone seemingly tinged with satisfaction.

"You... you're finally back..."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh softly, his tone becoming increasingly earnest.

“I know you are out there ‘purifying your heart in the world,’ but the upper realm has issued a special decree, specifically requesting you to come to the aid of the ‘Qianlun Realm.’ Unfortunately, we cannot contact you for the time being, so we can only send people to search for you everywhere…”

The old man spoke with such sincerity that Su Fan might have believed him if he hadn't already known his identity.

He followed Haoming Shenzun and others into the Zongwu Hall, where they sat cross-legged in the main hall.

Su Fan, too lazy to engage in pleasantries with them, asked directly as soon as he sat down, "Sect Master, when may I set off..."

Haoming God Venerable smiled and waved his hand.

"No rush, you just got back, rest for a few days and get your energy back..."

Su Fan shook his head, his tone very firm.

"That won't do. I've heard that most of the 'Qianlun Realm' has already fallen. I should get there as soon as possible..."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Haoming God Venerable nodded with a look of satisfaction.

"In that case, you should set off as soon as possible. The flying boat arranged by the upper realm has arrived and can depart at any time..."

He paused, then added, "Give me your identity jade talisman. All cultivators heading to the 'Qianlun Realm' must exchange their jade talismans for unique ones..."

What the hell...

It seems that even the higher realms are not entirely at ease with these cultivators who came to their aid.

All cultivators who head to the "Qianlun Realm" for assistance will definitely face some measures and restrictions from the Upper Realm.

Su Fan didn't care; this situation was already within his expectations.

So he didn't say anything more, took out his identity jade talisman from his waist, and handed it to Haoming God Venerable.

Instead of wasting time and energy playing games with these old guys, we should leave as soon as possible.

"Junior brother, you will be representing the Guangfa Dao Sect in this battle. Before you leave, please feel free to ask if you have any needs. The sect will do its best to meet them..." said Haoming Divine Venerable at the right time.

Su Fan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and immediately replied.

"Sect Master, I have exhausted all my cultivation supplies during these years of seclusion. If the sect could provide me with some, that would be wonderful..."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Venerable Haoming laughed heartily and said, "Rest assured, the sect will do its best to arrange the supplies for the 'Qianlun Realm'. In addition, the sect will allow you to go to the secret vault and choose three items that you like..."

What the heck...

What a wonderful thing!

Su Fan's heart stirred. Since they took the initiative to speak, then he wouldn't be polite.

His intuition told him that he was unlikely to return from his mission to aid the "Qianlun Realm".

Since we'll have no further dealings with this sect in the future anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to fleece them as much as possible.

He exchanged a few more perfunctory words with the elders, then got up and left the Zongwu Hall.

As soon as Su Fan stepped out of the hall, a disciple of the Refinement Realm who had been waiting outside hurriedly came forward, bowing and paying his respects.

"Disciple Pang Da greets Martial Uncle..."

Su Fan glanced at him and asked with a smile, "You are...?"

“This disciple is a steward of the Internal Affairs Hall. Just now, the Sect Master issued a decree, ordering this disciple to serve my uncle-master for the next few days. If my uncle-master has any needs, this disciple will certainly make proper arrangements,” Pang Da replied respectfully.

Su Fan nodded: "Then take me to the sect's secret vault first..."

Pang Da looked embarrassed and quickly offered an explanation.

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, you need to inform the Martial Uncle guarding the secret vault in advance. I will make arrangements for you tomorrow..."

"Oh...then please help me replenish some cultivation supplies first..." Su Fan changed his mind after hearing this.

"Uncle-Master, if you have any needs, I will take care of them for you immediately..." Pang Da replied respectfully.

"No need. Please take me to the sect's storeroom first. I'd like to personally select the cultivation supplies I need..."

Pang Da was stunned upon hearing Su Fan's words.

This is against the sect's rules.

In the past, if the elders of the sect needed cultivation materials, they would make a request and the Internal Affairs Hall would allocate them accordingly. No senior uncle would ever personally go to the inner treasury to select them.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed.

The sect leader had just specifically instructed him to fulfill all of Su Fan's requests as much as possible, as long as they weren't excessive.

Su Fan followed Pang Da to a cave deep within the mountain gate, which served as the storeroom of the sect's internal affairs hall.

Upon seeing him enter the storeroom, the disciples in the hall bowed deeply in respect.

Su Fan nodded slightly to them and walked straight to the counter to sit down.

A disciple at the Refinement Realm behind the counter quickly took out a jade slip and respectfully handed it over.

"Uncle-Master, this is the inventory of supplies in the inner treasury. Please feel free to ask if you need anything..."

Su Fan took the jade slip, pressed it to his forehead, put it down after a moment, and casually listed some cultivation supplies he needed.

The disciples of the inner treasury immediately got busy, while Pang Da ordered someone to brew a pot of spiritual tea and respectfully chatted with them.

No one noticed that Su Fan, who was sitting in front of the counter, had undergone a subtle change in his aura.

The Su Fan sitting at the counter at this moment was merely an avatar of his; his true body had already quietly slipped into the depths of the warehouse.

As a senior uncle in the Integration Realm of the sect, no one expected him to do such a thing, so they were naturally caught off guard.

Although the inner treasury had a complete monitoring array, Su Fan didn't care at all. By the time the sect discovered the anomaly, he had already fled far away.

Furthermore, by subtly concealing his presence, he strolled around the vast underground warehouse as if it were his own backyard.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the warehouse, Su Fan's eyes lit up instantly as he gazed at the rows of wooden shelves piled high with jade bottles.

The supreme healing pill, "Biwu Chunyuan Fuling Duanxu Baodan".

The supreme barrier-breaking pill is called "Dragon Tiger Kan Li Xuan Tian Ascending Dragon Immortal Pill".

The supreme recovery pill is called "Nine Revolutions Qian Yuan Creation Spirit Cloud Treasure Pill".

The supreme-grade Spirit Nourishing Pill, "Supreme Response Purple Yang Spirit Nourishing Treasure Pill".

In addition, there are dozens of other top-grade pills, all of which are exclusively refined by the "Guangfa Daozong".

All the top-grade, secretly refined pills here represent nearly a century's worth of stock accumulated by the sect.

Looking at these jade bottles filled to the brim, Su Fan couldn't help but curl his lip.

To be honest, the alchemy skills of the "Guangfa Daozong" are only average, and there is still a considerable gap compared to those top immortal sects.

With his current cultivation level, these pills are of little help to him.

But he doesn't need it himself, so exchanging it for spirit stones should be a good idea.

Most importantly, these top-quality cultivation resources in front of us are all free.

As a top-grade elixir exclusively possessed by a super immortal sect, even a single bottle could fetch a considerable price.

Without any hesitation, Su Fan swept away dozens of top-grade pills from the wooden shelf with a wave of his hand.

After he finished, he took out a bunch of empty jade bottles from his storage ring and filled the wooden shelf to the brim, making it look exactly the same as before.

He then moved on to other areas of the inner treasury.

He selected a considerable amount of the sect's stockpile of top-grade talismans, rare materials, high-level formations, and puppet cores.

However, he did not collect all the other supplies, as missing too many would easily give him away.

Moreover, on the battlefield, the demand for elixirs is the greatest, comparable to hard currency, and their value far surpasses that of spirit stones and spirit jade.

Therefore, Su Fan only selected items that suited his taste or were urgently needed on the battlefield, taking away hundreds of items in total.

However, he still managed to collect all the consumable items such as top-grade talismans and talisman treasures.

On the battlefield, this is equivalent to hard currency, like spirit stones.

Despite causing such harm to the sect, Su Fan felt no remorse whatsoever.

Because he knew that once the Nascent Soul cultivators who rushed to the aid of the "Qianlun Realm" were exhausted on the battlefield, the "Guangfa Dao Sect" would sooner or later become the private property of these few upper realm avatars.

When his true form returned to his clone, the disciples of the inner treasury had just finished organizing the supplies he needed.

No one noticed the unusual activity deep inside the warehouse. He was plundering the deepest part of the inner warehouse, a place rarely visited by anyone.

It will take at least three to five days, or at most ten days, before they are exposed.

Even if the truth comes out later, Su Fan will not care at all.

He didn't believe that the Divine Lord Haoming would turn against him for such a small amount of supplies. If he really angered him, he could just kill a few more of his upper realm clones.

After leaving the Internal Affairs Hall storeroom, Su Fan tried to contact his Martial Aunt Hong Ling, only to learn that she was not at the mountain gate and had already gone to another dimension to handle some business.

I had hoped to spend some time with her to vent my frustrations before going to the battlefield, but that plan fell through.

To avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives, Su Fan did not visit Senior Brother Hong Shang, but only exchanged a few words with him through telepathy.

The next morning, the mist was tinged with a faint gold, and the chill of early spring and the dew of the night began to dissipate.

Pale golden mist shrouded the verdant mountains, creating a misty, ethereal atmosphere, like a fairyland.

Su Fan got up early and followed Pang Da to a valley deep within the sect.

“Uncle-Master, this is the only way I can take you. Once you go inside, just look for Uncle-Master Xi Hu, who guards the secret vault,” Pang Da said, bowing.

Su Fan waved him away and walked into the valley alone.

As soon as he stepped into the valley, he saw an old man standing not far away with a smile, staring intently at him.

Upon seeing the old man's appearance, Su Fan's pupils contracted slightly.

This Xi Hu Divine Venerable is the clone of another Upper Realm cultivator who stood behind Hao Ming Divine Venerable yesterday.

Damn it, these guys really think "Guangfa Daozong" is their own home.

Su Fan cursed inwardly, thinking that after Senior Brother Hong Shang passed away, the sect's inheritance hall would also fall into the hands of these people.

By then, the entire "Guangfa Daozong" would truly be theirs.

If it were someone else on duty here, Su Fan might have been more restrained.

But since the one on guard is this spy from the upper realm, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xi Hu..."

Su Fan bowed respectfully.

Seeing his respectful manner, the Divine Lord Xi Hu smiled and spoke in a seemingly warm tone.

"Why are you so late, kid... Come with me..."

Despite the other party's friendly attitude, Su Fan could clearly sense a deep sense of apprehension hidden in the old man's eyes.

Not only him, but even the likes of Haoming God Venerable always treated him as a formidable enemy.

They knew in their hearts that this kid was incredibly vicious and violent.

If you can avoid provoking him, then try not to.

The Divine Lord Xi Hu led Su Fan all the way to the cave at the end of the valley, then turned around and gave him some instructions.

"Go in, but remember, you can only take three things..."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan suddenly curled up a strange smile on his face.

As if possessed, the Divine Lord Xi Hu walked blankly to a blue stone next to the cave and sat down cross-legged, his face full of a fascinated smile, completely unaware of the changes around him.

Su Fan ignored him and walked straight into the cave.

At the end of the cave, a gently rippling spatial barrier came into view.

It's obvious that there must be a secret realm behind the barrier.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the rippling barrier.

After a while, Su Fan finally came out of the cave.

He glanced at Xi Hu, the God of War, who was still grinning foolishly on the bluestone, his eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished into thin air once again.

The next second, he appeared in a square inside the mountain gate.

In the center of the square, a miniature airship was quietly moored.

Su Fan strode over, and as soon as he got close, the cabin door of the flying boat opened automatically.

He turned around, took one last look at the scenery of the "Guangfa Daozong" mountain gate, and then resolutely stepped onto the flying boat.

The hatch slowly closed, and the airship slowly rose into the air, transforming into a streak of light as it sped away into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
