Ye Wuchen was the God of Wealth, highly sensitive to the aura of treasures.
To some extent, his intuition for opportunities shared similarities with Xie Buruo’s life instinct—both were innate divine gifts!
However, Xie Buruo’s life instinct was a passive skill, requiring specific conditions to trigger.
Ye Wuchen’s, on the other hand, was more like an active skill. A sniff of his nose, a twist of his lips, followed by an outstretched hand, and the opportunity would fall right into his grasp!
So, the moment Xie Buruo appeared, Ye Wuchen’s heart stirred.
Why? Because the aura radiating from this guy was simply too enticing!
It was the scent of unimaginable wealth, of treasures so abundant it was downright outrageous!
Just how rich was Xie Buruo?
To put it simply, Ye Wuchen had only encountered such an aura twice in his life. The first time was when he was bound by the chat group. Unfortunately, that aura had been too elusive—he could smell it but couldn’t pinpoint its source, leaving him no choice but to satisfy his cravings through the Multiverse Store.
The second time was Xie Buruo. The scent was so overpowering it couldn’t be hidden, flooding his nostrils without him even needing to activate his skill, making Ye Wuchen itch with desire.
If not for the fact that Brother Yi was busy and the Heavenly Dao Key hadn’t been found yet, he would’ve already called Brother Yi over to shake this guy down for all he was worth!
Of course, now it seemed unavoidable.
Originally, he’d planned to wait until he found traces of the Heavenly Dao Key before summoning Brother Yi, but who’d have thought this guy had already crossed paths with Brother Yi—and even dared to insult him?
Seriously, this guy had guts!
“May I ask your name?” Xie Buruo rubbed his hands together, grinning obsequiously.
“Ye Wuchen!” Ye Wuchen waved his hand dismissively. “No need for pleasantries. I have a strong stomach—I can swallow sugarcoated words just as easily as cannonballs. No need for anything high-end or rare; just give me common goods. What do you say, Brother Xie?”
He stared at Xie Buruo with a knowing smirk.
Brother Yi was tied up with other matters and wouldn’t be able to come anytime soon, so this was his golden opportunity to squeeze Xie Buruo dry!
The Purple Star Immortal Court was strapped for cash, after all. Despite his best efforts as the head of the Treasury Department to increase revenue, the Void Domain had been picked clean over countless eras, leaving barely any resources to exploit.
In ten years of searching, he’d only managed to find two energy mines formed from collapsed singularities—small mines at that, barely a thousand years old. By all rights, they shouldn’t have been tapped yet, as they still had the potential to grow into medium or even large-scale deposits.
But the Purple Star Immortal Court was desperate. With a heavy heart, he’d halted their growth and deployed the Four Symbols Heavenly Army to haul both mines back for development.
The Treasury Department had done its best, but compared to the needs of the Purple Star Immortal Realm’s development, it was far from enough. They still relied on Brother Yi to keep them afloat.
But...
Brother Yi wasn’t exactly rolling in wealth either. At first, he’d handed out funds without hesitation, but after too many requests, he’d started shutting his doors, pretending to be in seclusion for months before reluctantly approving the funds...
So, for the sake of the Purple Star Immortal Realm’s prosperity, for the welfare of its people, and to stop the treasury from bleeding dry, Xie Buruo—this walking goldmine—was a meal Ye Wuchen refused to pass up. Even Brother Yi wouldn’t be able to stop him!
If Xie Buruo could satisfy his appetite, Ye Wuchen might even intervene to stop Brother Yi from resorting to force.
Whether he’d succeed or not... well, at least he’d try!
“Hahaha, you’re a straightforward one, young friend!”
Xie Buruo sensed Ye Wuchen’s confidence and immediately started rummaging through his pockets.
Of course, the bigger reason was that his life instinct for seeking fortune and avoiding disaster had given him another slap—telling him that satisfying this man would not only bring blessings but also help him evade a calamity!
Why hesitate?
He’d always trusted his instincts.
So, without knowing just how big Ye Wuchen’s appetite was, he kept pulling out treasures, one after another, until the other man told him to stop.
“What counts as common goods?”
“How about this immortal crystal vein, young friend? High purity, practically brand new, a rare find with reserves of at least 30 billion standard units of immortal crystals!”
“Not bad, but Brother Xie, I think you can aim a little higher.”
“Hahaha, fair enough! Take a look at this World Pearl—inside is a sealed ancient star-sea mine called ‘Stellar Core Abyss,’ snatched from the Immortal Realm by a mighty expert of our Divine Realm back in the day. It yields stellar essence gold, star marrow, void secret silver, and meteorite iron, all top-tier materials for cultivation and artifact forging, perfectly suited to your path!”
“The mine also contains many wonders, and the Stellar Core Phantoms born from its cosmic energy are excellent for honing combat instincts. Truly a treasure trove for cultivation, travel, and refinement. Does it meet your standards?”
“Mmm, not bad, but I think it’s still lacking. Care to sweeten the deal? You know what I mean.”
“Hahaha, I do! Then feast your eyes on this—the Ancient God’s Burial Ground, the Primordial Divine Mine!”
“This was formed from the remains of an ancient Chaos Godfiend. Over countless eons, its bones, flesh, essence blood, and lingering will have crystallized into divine bone marrow jade, chaotic demon blood, law crystals, and godfiend essence—all priceless ores!”
“Good, good, but I feel like this still isn’t the limit...”
“...Fine. Seems I’ll have to bring out something truly special to satisfy you. Behold—the Primordial Chaos Five Elements Mine!”
“This is the core of a ‘land’s eye’ naturally formed in the depths of chaos. After eons of condensation, it birthed the purest Primordial Five Elements ore veins. At the convergence of the five elements, it even nurtured Chaos Mother Qi!”
“Its ores include supremely pure elemental source crystals—such as Emberfire Gold, Profound Abyss True Water, Sacred Earth of the Central Peak, Azure Wood Marrow, and Metallic Gold Essence—along with trace amounts of Chaos Mother Stone and Spirit Vein Jade Hearts!”
“This mine was once among the Divine Realm’s Top Hundred Mines. Though it suffered devastating damage, it retains 80% of its integrity. Does it meet your standards?”
“Oh? One of the Top Hundred Mines? Then tell me—where are the other ninety-nine?”
“......”
Xie Buruo was the last disciple of a Divine Realm Supreme. Before the realm’s collapse, his master had secretly carved out a portion of its assets and handed them to him, intending for him to rebuild the Divine Realm.
This was an enormous inheritance.
The Immortal Realm had been searching for it, but Xie Buruo had hidden too well—they’d dug three feet into the ground and still couldn’t find it.
Now, he was offering himself up for Ye Wuchen to plunder...
“I won’t hold back!” Ye Wuchen said solemnly. “Take a man’s wealth, solve his troubles—that’s the rule!”
“But Brother Xie, the mess you’ve made is a bit too big. Cleaning it up won’t be easy, so... you know what I mean? The price goes up!”
“Of course, if you’re unwilling to part with more, that’s fine too. I’ve already taken plenty. I’ll do what I can to help, but if it doesn’t work out... well, my apologies.”
Xie Buruo glanced at Ye Ancai, who stood frozen like a wooden chicken beside him. After a moment of hesitation, he declared firmly, "Such trivial external possessions are hardly worth mentioning. If Ye Wuchen desires them, take them as you please!"
"Only, the collapse of the divine realm came too swiftly. I possess but three of the Hundred Great Mines—if even that fails to satisfy you, young friend, then I can do no more."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
