The Pavilion Master of Tingfeng did not speak immediately.
His gaze lingered on Su Ji's face for a long time.
If the Zhao family obtained the legacy, Zhao Teng might become a new Immortal Venerable in a few millennia.
By then, the favor of his witnessing today would naturally rise in value, becoming truly priceless.
But this Golden Core brat in front of him...
The Pavilion Master of Tingfeng had to admit that those words just now had truly swayed him.
A guy who dared to plot the killing of two Soul Formation reception envoys on the very day of his ascension possessed a ruthlessness and extremity of means far beyond ordinary men.
As for the so-called narrowly losing by one move, he naturally did not believe it.
If he truly had the strength to fight Zhao Teng until the mountains and rivers inverted, and was determined to flee, Zhao Teng might not necessarily be able to make him stay.
But a Golden Core fighting above his realm against a Soul Formation cultivator... was already incredibly rare and commendable.
If he were allowed to take the legacy...
In a few millennia, this Canghuang Realm might just produce another Immortal Venerable capable of stirring up storms.
One was a predictable long-term investment: low risk, long return cycle.
The other was a high-stakes gamble full of variables: extremely high risk, but if he won the bet...
The Pavilion Master of Tingfeng rapidly weighed the options in his mind.
After a long time.
Your chips have indeed tempted me.
He looked at Su Ji, and in those bright eyes, there was no longer the slightest hint of contempt.
But I cannot just take your one-sided word for it.
The Pavilion Master of Tingfeng slowly paced two steps, his long robes fluttering loudly in the baleful wind.
How about this?
He stopped, turned around, and locked his eyes onto Su Ji.
You said you fought Zhao Teng and narrowly lost by a single move.
Then I will give you this opportunity.
I will find a way to create a chance for you to safely obtain that Immortal Venerable's relic.
But correspondingly...
He drew out his words.
Regardless of whether this relic actually improves your strength or not.
You must face Zhao Teng directly.
I only believe in the victor.
The Pavilion Master of Tingfeng's voice returned to its usual flatness.
It is impossible for me to bet all my treasures on a brat as full of variables as you.
I need to see with my own eyes who between you and him is truly more worthy of my investment.
What do you say?
Su Ji did not answer immediately.
He had no choice.
From the moment he chose to step into this world, he had no way back.
Pavilion Master.
A smile slowly bloomed on Su Ji's face.
Your proposal sounds... very fair.
He looked at the Pavilion Master of Tingfeng.
However, I have one more question.
What happens after I win?
Hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Tingfeng laughed.
He liked dealing with smart people.
Because smart people knew what they wanted, and they also knew what they had to pay.
If you win...
The Pavilion Master of Tingfeng walked up to Su Ji, reached out, and gently patted his shoulder.
Then there will be no need for the Zhao family to exist anymore.
You can just retreat in one piece with all the Immortal Venerable's relics.
I will take the initiative to help cover your tracks, so that the items in your hands don't become someone else's prize before they even get warm.
You said that as long as you are given time, you have that confidence.
Then what harm is there in my Tingfeng Pavilion giving you some time!
But, at the end of the day, I am just a businessman who focuses on returns. I can't take such a huge risk without getting a single thing out of it.
And it just so happens that you are a demonic cultivator.
I advise you to think carefully about how to make me believe that you will definitely remember my favor after you win.
Otherwise, I will have no choice but to reluctantly accept that Immortal Venerable's relic for myself.

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
