Chapter 107 Expanding Sales Channels

People from both the Righteous and Demonic Factions were delighted to see the passage open. The previously tense atmosphere of confrontation relaxed slightly, but their inner vigilance did not diminish much.

Everyone entered the passage in an orderly manner, continuously injecting spiritual power to expand it toward the outside world.

Both sides dispatched a portion of their personnel to take turns "working," moving forward continuously in two shifts.

According to what You Tan said, it would take at most one or two hours to fully clear it, at which point both sides could depart separately.

Due to the delicate relationship between the two sides, the spatial passage was silent. In a group of nearly a thousand people, not a single person spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became terrifyingly quiet.

Everyone's nerves were highly strained; it felt like a barrel full of gunpowder that would be completely detonated by a single spark.

To relieve this tense atmosphere, Ye Fan suddenly came up with an idea.

"Friends of the Nine Sects, I have some good stuff here. Everyone, take some back to share."

"If you like it, you can come to the Joyous Union Sect to buy more in the future. I'll give you a ten percent discount," Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Good stuff? What good stuff?"

Ye Fan's words caught everyone's attention, and even those from the Five Demonic Sects cast their gazes over.

Murong Wan hesitated for a moment before realizing something; her pretty Face flushed, and she pretended not to hear.

With a mysterious look, Ye Fan took out a small jade bottle and explained the effects of the carefree pill to them.

Unsurprisingly, it immediately drew intense interest from the male Cultivators, while simultaneously making the female Cultivators blush and secretly curse Ye Fan for being indecent.

"Please don't misunderstand, everyone. This is a secret recipe of my Joyous Union Sect. It strengthens the Foundation, nurtures the origin, and builds up the body. It is by no means some potent aphrodisiac; you'll know how effective it is once you use it."

"If you don't believe me, everyone can come and take one pill. You can try it slowly after we leave. It won't be too late to come and buy more if it works."

At first, many people couldn't save Face, fearing they would gain a reputation for being 'incapable,' but they couldn't resist if they actually needed it.

After the first person stepped forward to take one, it was as if a chain reaction had been triggered. Everyone scrambled forward as if they were afraid of missing out on their share.

Seeing this, many Disciples of the Five Demonic Sects were also very envious. They wanted to ask for some but were somewhat hesitant.

Even if this thing was real, they would have nowhere to buy it once this single pill was finished.

Go to the Joyous Union Sect?

How was that any different from suicide?

Ye Fan had long anticipated this and said unhurriedly, "People from the Five Demonic Sects can also come and take some if they want. Lady You Tan and I have already agreed that I will allocate a portion of the production capacity to her every month. This was also one of the conditions for our cooperation to break through the spatial barrier."

Ye Fan's words left everyone stunned. Even You Tan was slightly taken-back, but she soon nodded, indicating that what he said was true.

With You Tan's nod, the Disciples of the Five Demonic Sects also felt at ease and stepped forward one after another to receive the Medicinal Pill.

Because of this, many Nine Sect Disciples had some complaints, believing that Ye Fan's cooperation with the Demonic Path disgraced his status as a righteous Disciple.

But as soon as those words were spoken, they were scolded harshly by others.

"What do you know! Senior Brother Ye Fan did not hesitate to bear the infamy of cooperating with the Demonic Path just to save us from this predicament, yet you are actually badmouthing him behind his back!"

"Amitabha! A monk should not use foul language, but this humble monk cannot endure it today either."

"Senior Brother Ye Fan sacrificed himself for others, yet he is being criticized by petty people like you. This is simply outrageous!"

"If Senior Brother Ye Fan is considered to be cooperating with the Demonic Path, then all of us Nine Sect Disciples are cooperating today. Should we all be labeled as scum of the Righteous Path?!"

The more the crowd spoke, the more agitated they became, reaching a state of public indignation. Those who had complained were shamed into silence, not daring to say another word.

At first, the direction of the conversation was fairly normal, and Ye Fan only made a token effort to stop them. Who knew that as they kept talking, the tone would start to change.

"I bet that White Lotus Sect Enchantress definitely had no good intentions. Maybe she even forced Senior Brother Ye Fan to do something."

"Senior Brother Ye Fan has truly sacrificed too much to save us from this predicament."

"I heard that this White Lotus Sect Enchantress is best at taking a man's Yang Essence. Once she succeeds, one's Foundation will be greatly damaged, and their speed to Cultivate in this life will be much slower."

"Amitabha. Senior Brother Ye Fan is cutting his own flesh to feed the eagle and offering his body to feed the tiger. After this monk returns to the temple, I must set up a Longevity Tablet and offer incense to him day and night."

As they spoke, the way everyone looked at Ye Fan was filled with pity and admiration, as if he had truly paid some special price to get You Tan to agree to the cooperation.

"Wait, things are not what you imagine!" Ye Fan hurriedly tried to explain.

"Amitabha. Don't worry, Senior Brother Ye Fan. This humble monk guarantees that not a single word will be leaked. Ask around the Heavenly Thunder Temple; everyone knows that I, Jue Ming, am tight-lipped."

"Exactly, exactly. Senior Brother Ye Fan, set your heart at ease. I, Jiang Youdao, am also a well-known figure in the Qingyun Sect, famous for being tight-lipped."

"Senior Brother Ye Fan, don't take it too hard. Actually, we didn't lose out much in this matter. I can't speak for others, but no one in the Kunlun Palace will ever spread word of this... My lips are sealed!"

...

As everyone's words became increasingly absurd, Ye Fan had a look on his Face like he wanted to die. This caused You Tan to burst out laughing, and her seductive appearance left the Disciples of both the Righteous and Demonic Factions entranced for a moment.

"Sigh, it's no wonder Senior Brother Ye Fan couldn't control himself. This enchantress really has some tricks up her sleeve," everyone couldn't help but lament.

Only Murong Wan's expression remained normal. She looked at Ye Fan and then at You Tan, her thoughts unknown.

Ye Fan originally wanted to explain further, but in the end, he changed his mind. His silent appearance made it seem as though he had tacitly admitted to the matter.

After that commotion, Ye Fan simply let himself go. Since he had already taken care of the male Cultivators, the female Cultivators would naturally be no exception, and he actually started peddling silk stockings.

Without any preconceived notions, the silk stockings completely crushed current fashion in both practicality and aesthetic appeal.

One female Cultivator from the Demonic Path was even bold enough to put them on in public. Her long, sultry legs, accentuated by the silk stockings, appeared even more alluring, capturing the attention of every man present.

With this living example right there, the market for silk stockings opened up instantly. Even the female Cultivators of the Nine Sects approached with blushing Faces.

Fortunately, Ye Fan had prepared many samples beforehand; otherwise, there really wouldn't have been enough.

"Little Brother Ye Fan, aren't you going to give Big Sister a pair?"

You Tan rested her chin on her hand and looked at him playfully, her beautiful eyes full of expectation.

"Of course I have some. Pick one for yourself."

Ye Fan took out several more pairs of silk stockings in different colors and styles. You Tan could tell at a glance that these were different from the ones before.

"This is a High Grade Magical Artifact?!"

You Tan was surprised, but she didn't show it on her Face. She randomly picked a black pair and accepted it.

After Ye Fan's antics, the original atmosphere of being at each other's throats had long since vanished.

Some of the bolder Cultivators even began to converse with one another. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, they were enemies fighting for their lives.

Unfortunately, this state did not last long. As a ray of light shone into the spatial passage, the sound of everyone's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

"The spatial passage is about to be cleared."
