Jiang Che was getting anxious!
Kidding aside, the Jiang Family's possessions were essentially his possessions, and the thought of selling them pained him deeply.
While "Immortal Soil" was expensive in his system—costing a mere 100 million points per square meter—if the Jiang Family's ancestors started selling off their assets... it might seem like a fair trade in the Nine Heavens. But for Jiang Che's system? That was a whole different story!
For example, if the Jiang Family bought 10 square meters of Immortal Soil, it would only cost 1 billion points in Jiang Che's system. But the items they sold in return could be worth tens of billions or even more in his system!
Selling like this would be a massive loss, wouldn’t it?
"Oh? What's the matter?" a celestial frowned.
"Nothing much. I happened to acquire some Immortal Soil in the Heavenly Court’s secret realm—not much, but it should be enough. Ancestors... aren’t you all experts at seizing things? If I give this Immortal Peach to the Third Ancestor, and he returns to his peak state... why not just go and take what we need?"
Jiang Che rubbed his hands eagerly.
The ancestors’ faces darkened.
"Do you really think the Jiang Family is invincible? If we become the target of everyone’s hostility, we’re done for! The world isn’t just about brute force—it’s about connections and diplomacy!"
Jiang Che: "..."
Old man, that’s not what you were saying before! You made the Jiang Family sound unbeatable, and now you’re telling me we’re not?
But now it seemed the Jiang Family wasn’t entirely reliable. He needed to find a powerful backer who could give him unshakable confidence.
After all, why hang yourself on just one tree when you can try a few others?
"Don’t worry, Jiang Che... the Jiang Family won’t take this Immortal Peach for free. The resources we’ll give you will far exceed your expectations. And since you have a fondness for beauties... we’ve arranged a few marriage proposals for you!"
One of the celestial ancestors burst into laughter.
Jiang Che felt his scalp go numb.
He wanted to protest—as a modern man, he was firmly against arranged marriages!
"The girl might not be a perfect match for someone with dual immortal physiques like you, but in the Nine Heavens, she’s exceptional. She possesses an immortal physique and ranks in the top three of both the Heavenly Ranking and the Beauty Ranking!"
As soon as the ancestor spoke, Jiang Che awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Top three in both the Heavenly Ranking and the Beauty Ranking... Hearing that, arranged marriage didn’t sound so bad after all.
"Jiang Che, you must have guessed who she is by now, right? After all, the number of immortal physiques in the Nine Heavens is few and far between..."
Actually, in the current Nine Heavens, immortal physiques weren’t that rare!
If you counted all living beings with immortal physiques, there could easily be over a hundred—not just a handful.
But most of them were past their prime, no longer counted as true immortal physiques.
Retired from what, you ask? The circle of life!
"Mm, this junior knows who it is!"
Jiang Che nodded. As a seasoned admirer of beauty, he had memorized the appearance of every lady on the Beauty Ranking and could name them all without hesitation.
An immortal physique + top three in the Beauty Ranking narrowed it down significantly, especially when combined with the Heavenly Ranking’s top three!
The Heavenly Ranking was different from the Prodigy Ranking—the latter only recorded geniuses below the Creation Realm, while the Heavenly Ranking was a true measure of power, listing elites below the Emperor Realm!
"Ancestors, I do indeed admire the Mystic Maiden of the Lunar Frost Palace... but does she consent to this?"
The Mystic Maiden of the Lunar Frost Palace possessed the Lunar Immortal Physique and was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Both her parents were true immortals, so her background wasn’t much weaker than Jiang Che’s.
As far as he was concerned, this marriage was settled—on his end, at least!
The only problem was... the girl had the Lunar Immortal Physique, which was tricky to handle. His Solar Saint Physique might not be enough—he could end up drained dry!
"Hah! I knew you’d be swayed by beauty. It took a lot of negotiation with those old fogies to settle this. You’ll be thanking us later!"
...
After some more discussion, Jiang Che placed the Immortal Peach onto the teleportation altar.
With the world’s revival progressing rapidly, almost anything could now be exchanged between realms—except for Emperor-tier artifacts, which defied the natural order.
But hardly anyone in the Nine Heavens wanted anything from the mortal realm. To them, the mortal realm was synonymous with backwardness and trash. If not for Jiang Che—a golden phoenix rising from the ashes—it would’ve been considered a barbaric wasteland, not even worth a dog’s visit!
Soon, the altar activated.
The Longevity Immortal Peach vanished, and the Jiang Family received it as promised.
"Ah—! The aura of longevity... It’s even more potent than I imagined! If an immortal consumes this, they could extend their lifespan by ten thousand years!"
"Just a few whiffs of its immortal essence, and I already feel my vitality surging!"
A group of immortals huddled around the peach, inhaling deeply like addicts.
"Enough! This is for the Third Ancestor. Once he receives it, he’ll emerge from seclusion immediately. If you want one, go ask Jiang Che!"
A white-haired immortal vanished with the peach.
The immortals’ gazes instantly locked onto Jiang Che!
Previously, separated by countless dimensions, they hadn’t fully sensed the peach’s longevity essence. But now, after experiencing it firsthand...
Consuming that thing would send them soaring!
Who wouldn’t covet it?
"Uh... ancestors, don’t look at me like that. My Yao Yao is working hard to bear fruit, but time is a factor. If you want one, you’ll have to wait in line. As for how long it’ll take... I can’t say."
Wait in line...
[Ding! Host has scammed the Jiang Family’s immortal ancestors, earning 1 billion points.]
Nice! Just like that, he’d broken even.
The immortal ancestors’ contributions alone were already a windfall!
"Jiang Che, name your price! Whatever you want, this old man will give it to you!"
Even knowing Jiang Che possessed extraordinary treasures, none of the ancestors considered killing him to steal them.
Immortals weren’t fools—they wouldn’t kill the goose that laid golden eggs. Jiang Che was the Jiang Family’s future hope.
They knew full well he was milking them dry, but... they were willing. If his secrets were exposed, countless others would line up to be exploited by him!
Longevity... was nothing to be ashamed of!

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... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
