Chapter 461: A Route Full of Wealth and Danger

"Xiao Jiu, what are you looking at?" Clan Leader Su Wanjun asked with some concern, watching Su Fan gaze into the distance, appearing somewhat distracted.

"Hmm! It's nothing! Two Purple Mansion cultivators were hiding over there just now."

Su Fan said this very calmly, but it gave Clan Leader Su Wanjun a fright; he had not expected there to be Purple Mansion cultivators, let alone two of them.

"Clan Leader, no need to worry, they have already left."

Su Fan shook his head, appearing somewhat regretful.

It was indeed a pity; those two Purple Mansion cultivators, one at the Purple Mansion Sixth Layer and one at the Purple Mansion Third Layer, were unexpectedly timid.

Su Fan had originally thought these two would make a move, but he hadn't expected that after he finished off the Six Evils of Xunshan, these two Purple Mansion cultivators would slip away without the slightest hesitation.

It left Su Fan speechless; their courage was just too small.

They were, after all, Purple Mansion Sixth Layer cultivators.

Su Fan did not know that his performance had indeed shocked that Purple Mansion Sixth Layer cultivator, causing him to slink away, not daring to linger for even a moment.

The Six Evils of Xunshan—the Purple Mansion Sixth Layer cultivator naturally knew of them, as well as their reputation and how difficult they were to deal with.

Once, a descendant of a Purple Mansion cultivator was killed by the Six Evils of Xunshan; that Purple Mansion Second Layer cultivator went to seek revenge, but later, that person vanished without a trace, while the Six Evils of Xunshan continued to commit evil around Lingtao Workshop.

This meant the Six Evils of Xunshan possessed the combat power to kill Purple Mansion Initial Stage cultivators.

Yet, just like that, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in Su Fan's hands, without the slightest power to resist, and were killed in just a few breaths of time.

One could imagine how his strength compared.

He asked himself, if it were him, it would be extremely difficult to achieve that level; since that was the case, why take the risk? After all, it was only a piece of Xuanyang Warm Jade; although the price was good, paying too high a price for it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

Therefore, the Purple Mansion Sixth Layer cultivator left with his junior brother without the slightest attachment.

For the two brothers, it was not a necessity to begin with; they were just doing it while they were at it. If they could get it, that would be best; if they couldn't, then so be it.

To risk one's life, one needed more valuable treasures. Although the Xuanyang Warm Jade had a good value, it was not something they absolutely required.

Su Fan was unaware of the thoughts inside those two Purple Mansion cultivators' minds; he only felt it was a pity they ran too fast, otherwise, finishing them off would surely have yielded another significant amount of wealth.

After all, they were Purple Mansion cultivators, and one of them was at the Purple Mansion Sixth Layer; placed in Zheng Guo, they could be considered high-end combat power.

They were already qualified to be chess players.

Of course, Su Fan only felt it was a pity; this time, he had killed at least ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the Storage Bags and Storage Boxes on these people were not few, which would surely be a considerable fortune.

"Clan Leader, let's go!"

Su Fan withdrew his gaze and looked at the slightly worried Clan Leader, giving a light laugh. Upon hearing this, the latter slowly regained his composure, and at the same time, looking at the several Storage Bags in his hand, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

Clearly, although the encounter just now made him somewhat uneasy, he was even more pleased with the current result.

With so many Storage Bags, the Storage Bags themselves were worth quite a bit.

Even the lowest-grade Storage Bag was priced at two or three hundred Spirit Stones, and the larger the Storage Bag, the higher the value.

These ten Foundation Establishment cultivators had left them with nearly twenty Storage Bags.

If these were sold, they would be worth several thousand Spirit Stones, or even more.

In the Su Family, only Foundation Establishment cultivators used Storage Bags; others, even Elders at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, only had Storage Boxes.

For one, the cultivation world of Zheng Guo was relatively barren; although there were many Storage Bags, they were not something ordinary Qi Refining cultivators could afford.

In fact, half of the Su Family's cultivators didn't even have Storage Boxes.

Although the Su Family had earned many Spirit Stones over these years, their consumption was also great; first it was the Foundation Establishment Pill, and now it was the Xuanyang Warm Jade—there were simply no extra Spirit Stones in the Su Family's treasury.

Although Storage Boxes had small spaces, their prices were not low; half of the Storage Boxes were about half a cubic foot, while the smallest Storage Bag was at least one cubic foot.

One cubic foot was one cubic foot in size; the larger the space of the Storage Bag, the higher the price, because it could hold more and was more convenient.

Obtaining nearly twenty Storage Bags this time was a good thing for the Su Family; they could use the Storage Bags to reward those disciples who had contributed to the Su Family.

As for selling them, Su Fan and Clan Leader Su Wanjun had never considered it.

The road back, having been traveled once, was not as tense, and Su Fan and Clan Leader Su Wanjun even specifically recorded it.

In the future, it might become a trade route; the Su Family's future rise could not be supported by Zheng Guo alone.

It was not that Zheng Guo's resources were insufficient, but that Zheng Guo was controlled by the Yunyang Sect; even if the Su Family wanted to obtain high-level resources, the price they would have to pay would be extremely expensive.

It was better to choose to seek them from other countries; in fact, even the Yunyang Sect specifically dispatched disciples to be stationed in the markets of various countries.

The Su Family did not have the spare capacity to send people to be stationed in other markets for the time being, but being able to find a relatively safe passage was excellent for the Su Family.

In the Huang Ye, there were many demon beasts; if they happened to run into a powerful demon beast, that would be dangerous.

On this journey, with Su Fan present, they could avoid demon beasts, but Su Fan could not personally make the trip every time.

Therefore, choosing a relatively safe passage was the best method; in fact, safe passages in the Huang Ye were also a source of wealth for many forces.

The return trip took more time than the journey there; the reason for this was to survey a safe passage.

With Su Fan's Soul Power, which was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, he did indeed survey a relatively safe passage for the two of them.

As long as Foundation Establishment cultivators were cautious and careful, they would not encounter too much danger, unless their luck was too poor and they happened to run into a Third-Rank Demon Beast.

As for Second-Rank Demon Beasts, as long as they were not of the avian type, most Foundation Establishment cultivators could fly on their swords; even if they couldn't win, they could still escape.

It took a full three months for this wealth passage to be surveyed by Su Fan.

From now on, the Su Family could use this passage to earn some Spirit Stones.

One must know that many cultivation resources were very expensive in Zheng Guo due to scarcity, but it was different in Nanli Guo.

Cultivation resources above the Foundation Establishment stage were twenty to thirty percent cheaper than in Zheng Guo; even just acting as a middleman could allow the Su Family to be well-fed and satisfied.

In fact, it was not that no one had done such things, but the Huang Ye was extremely dangerous, and only those with true strength could do it.

In Zheng Guo, only the Yunyang Sect could do it.

Even the Taihe Lineage found it very difficult to do so.

If the Su Family could truly achieve this, it would inevitably have a great promoting effect on the development of Liuyun Mountain in the future.

After all, only when you have abundant resources can you attract other cultivators to come.
