"Young Master Jiang... please spare my life. If you keep plucking me like this... I'll die!"
The Ancient Fusang Immortal Tree burst into tears!
Ten days!
God knows what he had been through over these past ten days.
In ten days, he had produced 6,000 pounds of Fusang Immortal Leaves, averaging 600 pounds a day!!!
He had to be plucked once every single hour. Pity his small trunk! Even if he grew leaves to his absolute limit, a full canopy only yielded a few dozen pounds of mulberry leaves at a time!
He was suffering even more than those male adult actors!
The most crucial part was that before Jiang Che left, he had given Yaoyao 10 drops of Supreme Mystery Immortal Water, ten pounds of Immortal-grade Spirit Spring water, and several tons of Holy Spirit Spring water!
These items were originally meant to be supplements to nourish his immortal medicine origin, preventing him from depleting his core essence.
But what was the result?
That damn Yaoyao embezzled more than half of it!
In the end, only two drops of the Supreme Mystery Immortal Water and less than a pound of the Immortal Spirit Spring water reached his hands. Furthermore, that little witch even freaking threatened him! Left with no other choice, he could only squeeze dry his own immortal medicine origin.
He really wanted to cry!!!
"Not bad, not bad. You did a great job, Yaoyao!" Jiang Che patted Yaoyao's little head. The girl looked up and planted a loud smooch on Jiang Che's cheek.
[Beep! The host has scammed the Ancient Fusang Immortal Tree, gaining 30 million points...]
Was there any justice left in this world?
He had been squeezed into such a miserable state, yet all the credit ended up going to that peach demon!
"Heh," Jiang Che chuckled. Then, he raised his hand and flicked out ten drops of Supreme Mystery Immortal Water, which directly merged into the roots of the Ancient Fusang Immortal Tree. In an instant... the Supreme Mystery Immortal Water began to madly nourish the Fusang tree's immortal medicine origin.
"This..." The Fusang tree was stunned, utterly in disbelief. What... what was the meaning of this?
Ten drops???
"Are ten drops of Supreme Mystery Immortal Water enough for you to recover your origin?" Jiang Che asked calmly.
"Enough, enough! It's absolutely enough!"
The Fusang Immortal Tree said excitedly, but soon after, a sense of absurdity welled up within him.
He was clearly the one being exploited! Even if he was actually given ten drops of Supreme Mystery Immortal Water... making him produce 6,000 pounds of leaves still meant he suffered a massive loss.
But why did these ten drops of Supreme Mystery Immortal Water move him so much right now?
"Mhm! As long as it's enough." Jiang Che nodded, then casually stored away the 6,000 pounds of mulberry leaves.
"Master, Master!" Just as Jiang Che was about to leave, Yaoyao called out, stopping him in his tracks.
"Hmm?"
"I... I..." Yaoyao's face flushed slightly. She bit her lip, seemingly finding it hard to speak. "The Immortal Peach Tree has been lacking nutrients lately and can't grow immortal peaches anymore. Could you water it a bit?"
Jiang Che: "???"
Well played, Yaoyao. You've learned to be naughty, haven't you!
No, wait. This was Yaoyao's true nature all along.
"No problem!" Jiang Che agreed crisply, directly tossing Yaoyao over his shoulder.
...
The Nine Heavens, Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect.
The Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect was the number one artifact-refining immortal sect in the entire Nine Heavens!
One-third of all the immortal artifacts in the Nine Heavens and Myriad Realms originated from the Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect. The sect was filled with numerous powerhouses, and its current sect master was a mighty existence ranked third on the Immortal Rankings—a Five-Tribulation Immortal Venerable!
Moreover, within the Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect lay the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, hailed as the number one immortal artifact in the Nine Heavens!
Rumor had it that the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron had once suppressed and killed six Immortal Emperor-level experts. It was a top-tier magical artifact that had been famous since the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
In the sect's forbidden grounds, beneath a bottomless abyssal volcano, a ragged old man gripping an iron hammer frantically rode his flying sword out of the volcano's crater.
Immediately after...
With a loud "Boom!!!", the massive artifact-refining site was instantly leveled to the ground!
Following that, the colossal volcano erupted in a flash!
Countless plumes of smoke and dust exploded, turning a radius of a million miles into a purgatory of molten lava.
"Fuck! It fucking failed again!" the old man cursed under his breath.
He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking thoroughly displeased.
Lately, for some unknown reason, he was always absent-minded while refining artifacts, feeling as though he was being watched.
But he was a Five-Tribulation Immortal Venerable!
Although his combat strength couldn't be called the absolute peak, even Immortal Emperors had to ask favors of him.
Because he possessed the methods to forge Emperor-grade artifacts!
These weren't just Great Emperor magical artifacts, but Immortal Emperor artifacts!
Just now, he had been tempering immortal materials with the Profound Dark Earth Fire in the Nine Nether Purgatory, preparing to fuse two different types of immortal metals. But in the end... it blew up.
"Patriarch! Patriarch!!!"
Suddenly, a pitch-black figure flew over. The person had been smoked so thoroughly by the black soot that he looked completely pitch-black.
"Hmm?"
The old man frowned. "Didn't I tell you? Don't come looking for me unless it's an emergency!"
The young man's face trembled. "Patriarch! Patriarch! It's Jiang Che! Jiang Che personally came to our Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect to find you, saying he wants to forge an immortal artifact!"
To be honest, Jiang Che's reputation in the Nine Heavens wasn't exactly good. Although everyone who saw him had to respectfully call him Young Master Jiang, they were actually grinding their back teeth in secret.
"Jiang Che? He came to find me to forge an immortal artifact?"
Immortal Venerable Tiangong frowned.
He had absolutely no favorable impression of this Jiang Che, but he still had to give him some face. After all, this kid's identity and background were too extraordinary; it was said that he had some connection to the Demon Ancestor.
"Let's go. I'll go meet him."
...
"Immortal Venerable Tiangong, this junior's visit... is to ask you to forge an immortal artifact for me!"
Jiang Che spoke neither haughtily nor humbly. After entering the Heavenly Craft Immortal Hall, he sat down on a chair in the main hall, crossing his legs as if he had returned to his own home.
Immortal Venerable Tiangong narrowed his eyes, sizing up the Jiang Che before him, not knowing what to think.
"Fine. On account of the Jiang family's face, I can forge an immortal artifact for you free of charge!"
"Oh? Are you serious?" Jiang Che was delighted. Was this old man really that easy to talk to?
He had been prepared to try peaceful means before resorting to force, but now it seemed there was no need for violence.
"Naturally! When I, Immortal Venerable Tiangong, give my word, not even nine dragons can pull it back! Besides... a single immortal artifact is not difficult for me; it's something I can do with ease." The old man's words were brimming with confidence.
"Uh, Immortal Venerable, I actually want more than just one immortal artifact!"
"Hmm?!!" Immortal Venerable Tiangong furrowed his brows tightly. "Two? Or three? What does a Nirvana Realm cultivator like you need so many immortal artifacts for? Moreover, aren't you already wearing an immortal artifact right now?"
The old man pointed at Jiang Che's clothes. "This garment of yours was forged by me. A Three-Tribulation Immortal Artifact... It took a great deal of effort!"
"Three?" Jiang Che smiled and shook his head, slowly holding up five fingers.
"Five??? Junior, your appetite is a bit too big, isn't it? Let alone forging them for free... even if you were paying, you couldn't afford the cost of five immortal artifacts! Leave... I can still give you one for free!"
Jiang Che continued to shake his head. "No, no, no, you misunderstood. What I mean is... fifty!"
His words were astonishing!!!
Then, he pointed to the clothes he was wearing. "Just like the one I'm wearing, I need to custom-order fifty immortal artifacts. The grade must be Three-Tribulation Immortal Artifact or higher, and their effects cannot overlap."
Immortal Venerable Tiangong: "???"

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?!
