"Ahem... Young Master Jiang, this old man was just joking with you earlier, don't mind it! Don't mind it!"
Immortal Venerable Tiangong changed his tune faster than the flip of a book.
Jiang Che touched the corner of the table, his tone flat, "But you have already seen my trump card, and even know about my fusion with the Great Dao Origin. I probably can't let you live."
"Uh—"
Immortal Venerable Tiangong was sweating profusely!
He never thought that one day he would actually be forced into such a corner by a Nirvana Realm youth.
"Young Master Jiang, this old man promises you, I'll forge immortal artifacts for you..."
"Thirty pieces! You provide the materials, and I will forge them for you. Treat it as an apology for my rudeness just now!"
Immortal Venerable Tiangong gritted his teeth. Forging thirty immortal artifacts would probably work him to death!
"Fifty pieces!" Jiang Che still calmly extended five fingers.
[Beep! Host has scammed Immortal Venerable Tiangong, gaining 600 million points]
"How about forty? Young Master Jiang, my time is also..."
"Fifty-five!"
"Fine, fine, fine! Fifty it is, this old man agrees."
"Sixty!"
"Pfft—" Immortal Venerable Tiangong was almost mad with anger. Why didn't this kid play by the rules?
"Sixty! Can't this old man just agree to you? Sixty! Young Master Jiang, please say no more..."
At this moment, Immortal Venerable Tiangong truly experienced what it meant to want to cry but have no tears.
Jiang Che's thin lips curled up slightly. "I'm not an unreasonable person either. I've already prepared the raw materials for you."
Saying that, he tossed out fifty pounds of Immortal Silkworm Silk.
"Use these to forge sixty immortal artifacts. Every single one must be a Four-Tribulation Immortal Artifact!"
"Four-Tribulation?!!! Young Master Jiang, you might as well kill me!" Immortal Venerable Tiangong was about to spit blood!
Although he could forge Six-Tribulation Immortal Emperor Artifacts, every Six-Tribulation Immortal Emperor Artifact had to undergo tens of thousands of years of tempering and survive six immortal tribulations to be complete.
Forging sixty Four-Tribulation Immortal Artifacts was truly worse than taking his life.
"Alright! I will contact my master right now and have her come and kill you!" Jiang Che said seriously.
Originally, Immortal Venerable Tiangong was prepared to completely slack off and refuse to do this job even if beaten to death!
But right after Jiang Che's words fell, his heart began to palpitate wildly!!!
Jiang Che's master? Coming to kill him?
As a Five-Tribulation Immortal Venerable, he naturally had a sense for these things. He could be absolutely certain that if he really slacked off and refused... a great terror would truly descend, and he would die with absolute certainty!!!
Jiang Che was not joking with him!!!
"Ahem, I'll do it, I'll do it! Rest assured, Young Master Jiang, it's about time this old man's bones got some exercise."
Saying that, he took the fifty pounds of Immortal Silkworm Silk, weighed it in his hands, and had a somewhat awkward expression on his face.
"F-fifty pounds of Immortal Silkworm Silk?"
"What? Is it not enough?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.
"Enough, enough, enough! It's absolutely enough!"
[Beep! Host has scammed...]
Enough my ass!!!
One pound of Immortal Silkworm Silk was barely enough to make one immortal artifact, and that would only be a Two-Tribulation Immortal Artifact. A Four-Tribulation Immortal Artifact didn't just need Immortal Silkworm Silk; it also required various other divine metals and immortal jades to be melted together. Yet Jiang Che had only given him this tiny bit of material. He was absolutely going to suffer a massive loss this time.
It was like paying out of his own pocket just to go to work, and still getting exploited!
"As long as it's enough. It won't be too difficult for you, right?" Jiang Che chuckled lightly.
"N-no... it won't!"
"That's good then."
After saying that, Jiang Che turned to leave.
"Oh, right! Young Master Jiang, would you like to stroll around our Tiangong Immortal Sect?" Immortal Venerable Tiangong smiled flatteringly. After all, this young master in front of him was truly someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"No need. Your Tiangong Immortal Sect is entirely filled with male cultivators. It's boring!"
Jiang Che let out a yawn.
In the Nine Heavens, the path of forging artifacts was purely a STEM field! There were hardly any women who pursued artifact forging, and even if there were... they were all burly, muscle-bound Barbies. After all, artifact forging had extremely high requirements for the physical body.
Immortal Venerable Tiangong: "......"
Damn it. Although he had long heard that Jiang Che was fond of beautiful women, who would have thought that such a situation would arise one day?
Otherwise, he definitely would have recruited a large number of beautiful female disciples and established some sort of Immortal Sect Holy Maiden.
Just at this moment, a young disciple suddenly barged in.
"Ancestor, Ancestor! Immortal Lord White Fox has come to visit... Uh... Young Master Jiang, why are you here too?"
A disciple who could casually barge in obviously had a high status, and his cultivation had also reached the Tenth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Ye Zhiqing, possessing the Heaven-Forging Immortal Physique, was a born genius in artifact forging. He was Immortal Venerable Tiangong's only personal disciple and a top-tier genius ranked sixth on the Heaven Rankings, yet he was completely immersed in the Dao of Artifact Forging.
"Hm? Immortal Lord White Fox?" Immortal Venerable Tiangong was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly became excited.
That's it!
"Ahem, did Immortal Lord White Fox bring her disciple along?" As the old man spoke, he began winking and making faces at Ye Zhiqing.
"Uh... Ancestor, is there something wrong with your eyes? Do you want me to go find Ancestor Medicine Immortal from the Immortal Medicine Hall to take a look?"
"......"
Damn it, this stupid disciple of his had decent strength, but his ability to read the room was far too terrible, wasn't it?
"Ahem, you foolish disciple, aren't you going to quickly greet Young Master Jiang?" The old man hinted frantically.
Ye Zhiqing rubbed his forehead, looking completely bewildered. Logically speaking, a prodigy of his level would definitely have his own pride, but he didn't seem to put on any airs at all and immediately began bowing and nodding deferentially to Jiang Che.
"Hello, Young Master Jiang!"
"......"
Hopeless, completely hopeless!
"Immortal Lord White Tiger? Could it be an immortal from the White Tiger Clan?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. Just by hearing the title 'White Tiger', one could tell she was a stunning beauty.
"Uh... not White Tiger, it's White Fox! Immortal Lord White Fox! She is a Four-Tribulation Immortal Lord from the Qingqiu White Fox Immortal Clan! Over a hundred years ago, Immortal Lord White Fox entrusted me to forge an immortal artifact for her disciple. She's probably here today to check on the progress..."
"Oh, right! That Immortal Lord White Fox was ranked first on the Stunning Beauties Ranking a hundred thousand years ago! And the disciple she took in is also a top-tier prodigy of the White Fox clan, as well as the current second place on the Stunning Beauties Ranking."
Old Man Tiangong hinted frantically... Uh, no, this was already an explicit declaration!
In order to curry favor with Jiang Che, he was going all out.
After all, he had truly been terrified just now! That word 'master' that Jiang Che had blurted out... to him, it was like a devastating disaster. The massive karma involved in it was enough to crush a Venerable Immortal like him into dust.
"Young Master Jiang, if you have your eyes on Immortal Lord White Fox, I can... I can help you capture her. With the help of the Six-Tribulation Emperor Artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope in your hands, we can definitely tie up that Immortal Lord White Fox and bring her home..."
Jiang Che: "???"
When I type out question marks, it's not because I have a problem, but because you have a problem, you little old man!
"Ahem, I am an upright gentleman. How could I possibly do such despicable things?"
"???" What kind of upright gentleman f*cking scams people to death? Forging 60 Four-Tribulation Immortal Artifacts? Is that something a f*cking human would say?
"It just so happens that I, your junior, will go with you to broaden my horizons, and pay a visit to that Immortal Lord White Fox while we're at it."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
