Chapter 340: My Adult Is in Another Plane

Xuan Ling indeed steered the topic onto perfume.

Lin Meng had long anticipated her question, so she had already discussed response tactics with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said solemnly:

"Supreme Elder, perfume is actually not a thing of the Heavenly Gang Continent; it comes from another plane. If I utter even half a falsehood, my cultivation will never advance in this lifetime."

Cultivators taboo swearing on their cultivation, and Ye Fan was utterly sincere, leaving no place to hide before the two Supreme Elders.

Thus his words quickly drew their attention.

To ordinary cultivators, mentioning other realms naturally invites skepticism, but Dao Lingzi and Xuan Ling, who have touched the threshold of Nascent Soul, clearly know that the vast world is not limited to the Heavenly Gang Continent alone.

At that moment, Dao Lingzi also reeled in his fishing rod, walked up to Ye Fan, and sat down.

"Please elaborate—what kind of plane is that, and how did you obtain this extraterritorial item?"

Dao Lingzi grew interested, and gradually began to value Ye Fan, this Foundation Establishment junior disciple.

Ye Fan felt a bit nervous, but thinking of his immortal sister gave him confidence.

The immortal sister had said these words were not nonsense, so he need not fear; just speak them boldly.

Thus Ye Fan pondered and said:

"Sorry, Supreme Elder, I don't know much about that plane either; it was my adult who inadvertently went to that continent, and our family just happens to have a secret transmission method, which allows us to exchange goods with that continent."

As Ye Fan finished speaking, Dao Lingzi and Xuan Ling's eyes flashed, and they exchanged a surprised glance.

However, at their cultivation level, they were actually able to believe Ye Fan's words.

After a moment of silence, Dao Lingzi couldn't help but say:

"It seems your adult is also a person of great supernatural powers; as for information about that continent, I won't ask further."

The topic quickly swung back to perfume; Xuan Ling took the perfume bottle in hand, pondered, and asked:

"Little one, could you ask your adult whether, besides this perfume, there are any other curious novelties over there?"

"If you can, via your family's secret method, help me transmit a few more novel items over, I can trade with your adult."

Ye Fan had been waiting for exactly those words; hearing them, he pretended to be somewhat embarrassed and said:

"This… Supreme Elder, may I report, each time my adult uses the secret method to send supplies to me, it consumes a great deal of energy and spirit stones; I need to consult my adult first."

Hearing this, Xuan Ling showed an understanding expression and nodded:

"Using secret arts to transmit objects across time and space indeed consumes a lot; I can understand."

"How about this: I have a small jar of spirit tea here, to serve as a meeting gift for your adult; please go and ask him whether we can make this trade."

Ye Fan's face gave nothing away, but his heart was already blooming with joy.

Spirit tea—this is exactly what the immortal sister likes; this Elder Xuan is quite perceptive and also very generous.

He hastily reached out to take the spirit tea and said:

"Disciple thanks the Supreme Elders on behalf of my adult; I don't know what the two Supreme Elders like, so I can have my adult look for them specifically."

Ye Fan grew increasingly adept at handling the two Supreme Elders; to Dao Lingzi and Xuan Ling, this appeared as calm confidence.

They increasingly believed that behind Ye Fan stood a figure stronger than themselves.

The two exchanged glances and actually began to think seriously.

Dao Lingzi looked at the fishing rod in his hand, pondered, and said:

"Little one, I want a fishing rod—different from this one, capable of catching big fish; ask your adult whether over there there is a better fishing rod than this."

Ye Fan solemnly took out a notebook, recorded carefully, and responded while writing.

"All right, Supreme Elder, disciple has noted it down."

At that moment, Xuan Ling also had decided.

She stroked her own cheek and said:

"The benefits of high cultivation are indeed there—my skin is in excellent condition—but there's a regret: mundane rouge and powder are ultimately lacking; I'd like to apply a little makeup, but it often fails, so please ask your adult whether over there there are women's cosmetics; I love to dab them on my face."

Ye Fan recorded earnestly, thinking the immortal sister truly foresaw everything; Elder Xuan Ling indeed wants women's items.

"Did you finish recording?" Xuan Ling asked.

Ye Fan hurriedly nodded at the words, "Disciple has already recorded it; I will now contact my adult, and please grant the two Supreme Elders some time."

Dao Lingzi had already resumed fishing; hearing this, Xuan Ling waved her hand and half-reclined again.

"That's excellent; you may go now."

After Ye Fan left, Dao Lingzi immediately tossed down his fishing rod and sighed, "This fishing rod is really awkward—I can't even hook a single spirit fish."

Xuan Ling laughed and said:

"Husband, don't rush; once Ye Fan goes to ask, I'm sure we'll get a satisfactory answer."

Upon hearing this, Dao Lingzi also began to anticipate and couldn't help but remark:

"The adult of Ye Fan's family is braver than us—at least she had the courage to leave the Heavenly Gang Continent and ascend to the outer realms…"

Ye Fan suppressed his excitement and, while leaving, reported the results to Lin Meng.

Upon hearing, Lin Meng was not surprised and calmly said:

"Understood, don't worry; the two Supreme Elders of your sect are easy to please—fishing rods and cosmetics aren't a problem; I'll go buy them for them right now, guaranteeing their satisfaction."

The spirit tea Xuan Ling gave had naturally reached Lin Meng's hands, and Ye Fan did not keep any privately.

He said:

"That immortal sister—I'll get back to them in a day's time."

Lin Meng, having obtained a jar of good tea, was naturally pleased and planned to go out personally to buy things for the two Supreme Elders.

As Ye Fan walked out of the barrier on his side, he saw the sect leader and that Xiao Uncle still there, both peering toward the barrier.

Seeing Ye Fan come out, Xiao Uncle hurried forward to meet him.

"Ye Nephew, you've finally come out."

Ye Fan bowed with clasped hands to the two seniors, then heard the sect leader cough once and say:

"Since you've come out, let's go; I, the sect leader, happen to be idle and want to make a round of the inner gate, so I'll see you off on the way."

Having spoken, the sect leader swept his wide sleeve, wrapped Ye Fan, and they vanished into the heavens.

Xiao Qingyuan saw this, his eyes widened, and he almost cried out.

When has the sect leader ever been this eager? He must intend to whisk Ye, his junior martial nephew, off to some remote place for questioning.

After thinking, Xiao Qingyuan also steeled himself and gave chase.

Soon, the sect leader brought Ye Fan to a small peak rarely frequented, and, getting straight to the point, he said:

"Ye Fan, the two Grand Elders are looking for you—what is it about?"

Ye Fan concealed nothing, told everything in detail, and then added:

"The two Grand Elders have shown favor to this disciple and bestowed gifts; this disciple will devote himself wholeheartedly. If the sect leader also has something he wishes to trade, this disciple can act on his behalf."

Hearing this, the sect leader's eyelids twitched uncontrollably; he couldn't tell that this brat, who looked honest and simple, actually had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

First he pointed out that the Grand Elders had given him gifts, then asked whether he wanted to join the trade—clearly telling him he didn't want to suffer a loss, did he?

Good lad, you've got your calculations worked out well.
