Xu Feiniang sent out her Flying Sword, flying toward the distance, to seek someone with a Flying Sword Transmission.

Half a day later, a golden light arrived and descended directly in front of the Immortal Market, revealing a youth in a yellow robe, causing a stir among the common folk, many of whom knelt down and kowtowed, calling out to the Immortal.

The youth paid no attention to the irrelevant onlookers and went straight into the market, approaching Xu Feiniang, "Disciple pays respect to Master Mother, and offers his salute."

Xu Feiniang, hearing this, smiled beautifully and invited him into the inner sanctum of the "Wutai Sword Court."

As it turned out, this child was a disciple accepted by the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor some years ago, named Fanzi. The Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor saw his good potential and personally refined a Golden Saber for him. Wielding the saber, he traversed the Jianghu. Due to his handsome appearance and the golden light that shone when he flew on his saber, he was called "Little Golden Boy."

Having married the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, Xu Feiniang's status rose, causing discontent among her senior martial siblings who had outranked her, like Master Tuotuo, who was very unhappy with her, and Long Fei, who did not take her seriously. Only the later disciples recognized her as their Master Mother.

Especially Fanzi, clever and eloquent, always sweetly addressed Xu Feiniang as Master Mother whenever he sought her out, and was particularly good at winning her favor.

Xu Feiniang told him, "The Dragon Emperor from the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain has opened this Immortal Market here. I represent our Wutai Sect in renting a trade court here, and it's already been named. This is the signboard that was delivered at noon; it's called 'Wutai Sword Court.' What do you think?"

Fanzi praised her repeatedly, "Master Mother truly has great taste! This courtyard is excellent; I'm even contemplating cultivating here."

"This is why I called you here, to cultivate in this place." Xu Feiniang led him to the main hall of the middle courtyard, waved her hand to establish Prohibitions, and sealed the room inside and out, "This Dragon Emperor not only possesses strong Mana himself but also has an abundance of capable individuals under his command, and wields great power, enough to stand against our Wutai Sect, as well as form a triad with Emei Sect.

By opening this Immortal Market, I initially thought to come here and pay my respects; since he has a grudge with Emei Sect, it will be good to ally with him against Emei Sect in a decisive battle in the future. This morning, after taking a few turns around this place, I've changed my mind. Within this Immortal Market, there are many treasures that can be used for Alchemy and Sword Refining.

Our neighbor is an Independent Immortal who came from the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, selling various kinds of Spiritual Medicine, among them rare Immortal Herbs of hundreds and thousands of years old. It is certain that many Cultivators will come here in the future to purchase needed items. Our Wutai Sect must not fall behind but must seize the initiative."

Fanzi nodded, "But having taken this courtyard, what then should we do?"

Xu Feiniang explained, "Our Wutai Sect's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, renowned in every household, and our Sword Refining Technique is as numerous as cow's hair. In the past, we had to go out to find materials for Sword Refining, then nourish the swords with breath control, and also seek out Five Element Spiritual Energy and so on... Now, there is no need for that. I've seen all kinds of materials for Sword Refining in the West Market.

Thousand-year-old Cold Iron, Great Sun Crystal Sand, Fish Scale Fire Copper, Taibai True Essence, White Iron Purple Copper, Yellow Essence Green Snow – all are available and have already been refined, ready for creating Sword Molds, without the need for further refinement. There is also Five Elements Essence Qi, Magnetic Essence, Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, which usually require extended time to collect and refine; now they are all sealed in Crystal Bottles, purchasable with just this kind of Dragon Coin!"

She had already exchanged her gold and silver for quite a number of Dragon Coins, some in Jade Coin and some in paper currency, and showed them to Fanzi.

"Is Master Mother suggesting we go buy those materials, come back to refine swords, and then sell them to earn more Dragon Coins?"

Xu Feiniang revealed a smile as if looking at a promising child, "How much effort did your master put into refining that Golden Saber for you? Even then, it lacked a few materials, and there wasn't time to collect True Sun Fire for you, so you were taught to collect and re-refine it in the future. Now, you just need to poison the blade with the Five Poisons of the South Border. Although powerful, it is ultimately subpar. With enough Dragon Coins, you can go to the West Market and buy True Sun Fire to come back with. In just forty-nine days, you can refine the Sun Gold Saber, saving decades of toil!"

Upon hearing this, Fanzi finally felt a profound shock in his heart, "Master Mother's strategems are admirable!"

Xu Feiniang took him out to purchase goods. She actually had a considerable amount of gold and silver on her, over three thousand taels, which she exchanged for Dragon Coins totaling more than twenty thousand in value and went to the West Market to buy materials.

Items like the Black Pearl, whose main customers were rich merchants and nobles in the Human World, were priced at merely three thousand taels per piece.

However, the materials for Immortal Cultivation that Xu Feiniang wanted to buy were exceedingly expensive; over twenty thousand Dragon Coins could only buy enough Cold Iron for a short sword's Sword Mold.

She then made Fanzi take out all the gold and silver he had, and since Fanzi was wealthy, he exchanged it for more than thirty thousand Dragon Coins, buying an ample amount of Cold Iron, a bottle of Geng Metal Essence, a bottle of Heavenly Gang Qi, and a bottle of Earth Evil Qi – spending all the money.

Xu Feiniang had cultivated for hundreds of years and had never thought about saving money; much of the gold and silver she had were saved on a whim, forgotten later on, and this was all she could gather from her family's entire wealth.

Fanzi, who often dabbled in the Human World, had not an insignificant amount of money, and given his short history, it was all he had.

The two returned to the "Wutai Sword Court," where Xu Feiniang taught him Sword Refining. She only instructed with words, guiding Fanzi on what to do as he took charge of the manual work of refining.

First, they fashioned the Cold Iron into a Sword Mold, then infused the Geng Metal Essence into the sword tip to enhance its sharpness. Imbuing the Gang Sha Qi into the essence of the Geng Metal Essence was a highly skilled technique that most Sword Immortals could not achieve. After the refinement, the Immortal Sword gleamed with cold light, its edges sharply revealed; with a light flick, the Sword Qi slashed at one's face!
