"I have made you wait. Please forgive me."
Bright laughter arose. Ling Xian raised his head and checked out the three people who were walking over.
The three of them looked similar and appeared to be brothers. Without an exception, they were all at the peak of the Blending Path. The leader in white, in particular, was extremely close to the seventh level. His eyes were as deep as the ocean and as handsome as ever.
"As expected of the Region Lord Fan Clan. Extraordinary indeed."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and grinned, "You are being too polite. I just arrived."
"I am Fan Li, the leader of the Fan Clan."
The man in white smiled and pointed at the skinny man, "This is my second brother, Fan Qing."
Then, he pointed at the muscular man, "This is my third brother, Fan Gang."
"So it is the famous three brothers of the Fan Clan."
Ling Xian was a little surprised. He has heard of the three brothers' names. Every single one of them was a powerful powerhouse. In the entire Universe of Immortality, they were considered extraordinary.
Therefore, he didn't think he would be able to attract all three of them.
He didn't know that with his current capability and status, no matter which top force he goes to, nobody would dare to slight him.
Even the Fan Clan had to send out a few famous powerhouses to welcome him.
"You are flattering me. You are the one with your name." Fan Li softly grinned. He checked out Ling Xian with his deep eyes and they flickered with surprise.
The other two reacted the same way.
For one, Ling Xian's temperament was extraordinary. For two, they couldn't see through his cultivation level.
Remember that the three of them were at the peak of the Blending Path. Fan Li was even half a step into the seventh level. Yet they couldn't see through Ling Xian's capabilities. Why wouldn't they be surprised?
"You are flattering me."
Ling Xian brandished his hand, "Alright, let's stop flattering each other. Let's talk business."
"Please speak, Fellow Daoist Ling."
Fan Li's eyes were filled with curiosity. "I'm all ears."
"I won't beat around the bush. I am here today to improve my physique." Ling Xian got straight to the point.
He guessed that Fan Li had guessed his intentions. Therefore, he didn't want to beat around the bush. If the Fan Clan was willing, then they would continue to negotiate. If the Fan Clan rejected, then there was no need to waste any more time.
Hearing his words, the three brothers of the Fan Family all had different expressions on their faces. Fan Li was calm, Fan Qing was frowning, and Fan Gang was gloomy.
"Hmmph, you are after the Fan Clan's secret after all." Fan Gang hissed. The way he looked at Ling Xian was not friendly.
"You are wrong. I have no intention of investigating the secrets of the Fan Clan. I merely want to trade for treasures that can strengthen my physique or techniques." Ling Xian frowned.
"Aren't you still plotting against my Fan Family?" Fan Gang sneered, his expression unfriendly.
"Third Brother, don't be rude!"
Fan Li scolded. He shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and said apologetically, "Please forgive me. My third brother has always been like this. Please don't take it to heart."
"It doesn't matter. I have told you my purpose for coming here. I just want to know if there is a possibility of continuing this conversation," Ling Xian said softly.
"Anything can be discussed."
Fan Li looked at Ling Xian meaningfully, "Let's see if you can afford the price I am asking for."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
The possibility of discussion meant there was a possibility of success. Fan Li's words were also very clear. As long as he can afford it, there is a possibility of a deal.
Ling Xian grinned, "We will discuss the price later. I also want to see if the Fan Clan can satisfy my requirements."
"Fellow Daoist Ling has no doubt about this."
Fan Li had a faint smile on his lips, "Since you have come to the Fan Clan, you must have learned about the Fan Clan's physique. To put it bluntly, out of all the humankind in the Immortal Realm, only the Fan Clan can help you strengthen your physique. "
"That's right. The Fan Clan's physique is known as the best in the Immortal Realm. This alone is enough to prove that the Fan Clan's physique is unique."
Ling Xian nodded softly, "Therefore, I have come to the Fan Clan. However, I hope you will listen to my request first."
"I am willing to hear the details." Fan Li smiled.
"You and I both know that the Stairway to Heaven will take at most a few months before it completely takes shape. Therefore, I want to improve my physique to the sixth level within three months. "
Ling Xian erased his smile, "Of course, the stronger the better. I wonder if the Fan Clan can do that?"
"No problem." Fan Li's smile did not diminish and he was full of confidence.
The other two were not fazed either. It was obvious that to the Fan Clan, this wasn't a difficult task.
This made Ling Xian frown. Remember that it was extremely difficult to improve one's physique. Especially when it comes to the next realm, it is even more difficult.
Yet Fan Li was full of confidence. Was he just pretending, or could he really do it?
"Patriarch Fan seems to be very confident."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Why don't you first listen to my physique before you answer?"
"There is no need. You only need to understand that the Fan Clan can satisfy your requirements."
Fan Li was confident and at ease, "What you need to consider next is whether or not you can afford the price I am asking for."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
Improving his physique was his top priority and it was something he had to do. No matter how high the price was, as long as it was possible, he wouldn't hesitate.
Therefore, he smiled, "Please speak your mind, Leader Fan. As long as you can satisfy my requirements, you can ask for an exorbitant price."
"How satisfying. But asking for an exorbitant price is not something the Fan Clan will do. The price is fair and reasonable."
Fan Li softly grinned, "But before that, you have to pass the Fan Clan's test. Or else, no matter how high your price is, I will not agree to it."
"A test …" Ling Xian frowned, unsure of what Fan Li was trying to do.
Fan Qing and Fan Gang couldn't figure it out either.
Fan Gang, in particular, had a dark expression on his face, "Big brother, how can we let an outsider use the Fan Clan's treasure to improve the physique?"
Hearing this, Fan Li frowned and gave Fan Gang a meaningful look.
Sadly, Fan Gang didn't understand. But Fan Qing did. His lips moved slightly, clearly communicating with Ling Xian.
Instantly, Fan Gang's expression changed and he stopped speaking. The way he looked at Ling Xian was now full of mockery.
This made Ling Xian frown even tighter and more suspicious.
It was obvious that this so called test was not as simple as it sounded. Or else Fan Gang's attitude wouldn't have changed so drastically.
"So, have you made up your mind?"
Fan Li softly grinned, "If you agree and pass the test, then I will give you a reasonable price. I guarantee you can afford it. If you don't, then I will forget about it. "
Hearing this, Ling Xian glared at Fan Li, knowing that something was strange about this. Perhaps he was purposely making things difficult for him.
However, he didn't want to reject.
For one, the path to heaven was right before his eyes. The only way he could increase his battling abilities was to improve his physique. For two, he was fearless.
So what if it was strange? So what if it was purposely making things difficult for him?
Ling Xian believed in himself.
The corner of his lips curled up and he uttered out three confident words.
"I agree."
