Whether on Earth or in the Xuan Realm, people all chase profit; even Saints are no exception.
Back when Ye Fan was still very weak, no one looked twice at him. They didn't even know there was someone called Ye Fan in the Cultivation World.
Even after Ye Fan swept through the Qing Family of Qing Province with an Emperor Weapon in hand, people still didn't really take him to heart. They only held back from making a move to seize his Emperor Weapon out of scruples toward the Immortal Academy and the Ling Family.
Later, Ye Fan single-handedly wiped out eighteen Saint Child Level geniuses, then suppressed even the strongest heir of the Di Clan. Only when he high‑profile auctioned off the Saint Heirs did the various Heroic Lords finally get a taste of his daring and methods.
But even then, those Heroic Lords still didn't really take him seriously, thinking he only pulled it off by relying on an Emperor Weapon.
