Unscrupulous Merchant: Jiang Che

Time to refine some pills!

Jiang Che was in high spirits as he directly redeemed ten Special Pill-Refining Furnaces from the system space.

These special furnaces were actually products the system had only recently unlocked. They could only refine one type of pill: the Peerless Longevity Pill.

Furthermore, the price for a single unit was incredibly high, costing a full two billion points—enough to purchase five or six Immortal Bodies.

Jiang Che had purchased ten of them in one go!

The ten furnaces stood side by side, looking quite magnificent.

How many pills should I refine? Rarity makes things precious... I can refine three Saint-rank Peerless Longevity Pills to put up for auction, and then refine some lower-quality ones...

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, there were countless strange longevity pills, but the principle behind almost all of them was to restore blood and qi to achieve the effect of extending life. In truth, they were not longevity pills in the most literal sense.

However, the longevity pills Jiang Che refined contained longevity matter—true, literal extensions of one's lifespan!

One batch with low-grade spirit stones, one with mid-grade, and one with high-grade...

One batch with top-grade spirit stones, one with saint-grade... as for immortal-grade... let's forget it.

Jiang Che even numbered them one by one.

He had already gained plenty of experience in pill refining.

As for the pills refined from immortal-grade spirit stones?

Jiang Che had already tested them beforehand. A single pill could increase one's lifespan by a terrifying million years!

Even an Immortal Emperor could not live for a million years, yet a single pill could actually achieve this. It could truly be called an Eternal Life Pill.

As for where that Eternal Life Pill went?

Jiang Che had fed it to Xiao Taoyao like a jelly bean. For a longevity tree like Xiao Taoyao, the Peerless Longevity Pill was even more effective as a supplement than any immortal soil or water.

Before long, the pills were ready!

The efficiency of ten furnaces operating simultaneously was extremely high, and the refinement was successful in about an hour.

100,000 low-grade Longevity Pills, 10,000 mid-grade, 1,000 high-grade, 100 top-grade, and 10 saint-grade!

...

So... so many Longevity Pills?

The Jiang family ancestors felt their scalps go numb when they saw the mountain of Peerless Longevity Pills piled up before them.

Especially among these Peerless Longevity Pills, there were three that emitted a terrifying aura of immortality: the Saint-grade Longevity Pills!

They were the same kind the Seventh Ancestor had consumed; a single pill could increase one's lifespan by 120,000 years.

Yes. I don't plan to auction these low and mid-grade Longevity Pills. I intend to sell them openly with clearly marked prices. I'm sure demand will far exceed supply...

As for these high, top, and saint-grade Longevity Pills, you can take them to the auction. I imagine they will stir up a storm of blood, Jiang Che said, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

The Jiang family immortals wore bitter expressions upon hearing this. Little Ancestor, a storm of blood has already begun! Do you know that we have already activated the Clan-Protecting Immortal Array? In just a few days, no fewer than twenty Immortal Venerables have come to visit our Jiang family... those are all ruthless characters who are like living fossils... If they weren't wary of the person backing you, our Jiang family would have been torn apart by now!

Although the Jiang family was incredibly powerful, its current foundation was beginning to show signs of decline. Over the past million years, many ancestor-level figures had passed away, and a significant number of Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables had perished fifty thousand years ago during the great war against the Evil Spirit Plane.

How formidable had the Jiang family been in the past? They boasted six Immortal Emperors from a single clan—a living legend. Those six Immortal Emperors had joined forces to construct the Jiang family's protective immortal array!

In those days, the former Third Ancestor and Fourth Ancestor were both Immortal Emperor-level beings. It was only after they fell that the subsequent immortals rose to take their titles. Thus, the title of Immortal Ancestor in the Jiang family was never held by a single person, but was rather a legacy passed down through generations.

Jiang Che, can you have a word with that Supreme Being? When the auction takes place, could you ask him to appear in person? Or perhaps just manifest his presence before the crowd? I am worried that things might get out of hand, the Fourth Ancestor said solemnly.

The allure of a Saint-grade Longevity Pill was simply too terrifying—terrifying enough to make an immortal cast aside all restraint!

Would those ancient immortals coming to bid on the pills be intimidated? They were already facing the end of their lifespans; a man with nothing to lose fears nothing. What if they were to suddenly stage a violent uprising?

Oh, you can rest easy about that, Jiang Che replied with a confident smile. In truth, he was practically praying for them to riot!

If he could bait and kill a large group of immortals when the time came, wouldn't his point harvest be absolutely spectacular?

That is good. With those words from you, we can rest easy. The Third Ancestor let out a long sigh of relief.

With a Supreme Immortal Emperor backing them up, everything was stable!

The immortals excitedly took the three Saint-grade Longevity Pills, thirty Top-grade Longevity Pills, and five hundred High-grade Longevity Pills from Jiang Che's hands.

A Saint-grade Longevity Pill extended life by one hundred and twenty thousand years, a Top-grade pill by ten thousand years, and a High-grade pill by a thousand years!

Gulp...

The immortal ancestors collectively swallowed their saliva.

Ding! The host has scammed the Immortal Ancestors, gaining 2 billion points.

The ancestors felt a deep bitterness in their hearts. As grand Immortal Ancestors, they were reduced to eating scraps; the Longevity Pills they consumed were of the lowest quality, each only extending life by a single month, and they tasted absolutely foul.

All the good stuff was being taken by Jiang Che to be sold!

But they had no choice. Who told this kid’s system to be such a godforsaken scamming system? They could only resign themselves to being harvested like leeks.

Ancestors, I suggest you... stay away from these pills. I have already prepared your Longevity Pills separately. I have added a little something extra to these pills intended for the auction, Jiang Che said, scratching his head with a smile that looked completely harmless.

Uh... added a little something? An ancestor’s mouth twitched.

Correct. For instance, those High-grade Longevity Pills. Although they grant a thousand years of life after consumption, the user will experience an unbearable itching throughout their body every single day. That itch goes straight into the source of one’s Immortal Dao; even an immortal would find it agonizing. Some pills even have side effects that cause the Ziwu Heart-Shattering Pain.

Of course, that is not the most outrageous part. Those Top-grade Longevity Pills I am selling... for any male cultivator who consumes them, their Yang essence will immediately wither, and they will be unable to rise again for the rest of their lives. As for female cultivators, they will have their period every single day, and the flow will be very heavy...

The Immortal Ancestors: ...

Damn, this kid is truly black-hearted. Even these immortals felt a literal chill down their spines.

You... you really aren't afraid of death! one immortal gulped.

He had over three hundred beloved wives and concubines. If his Yang essence were to wither and he were unable to perform for the rest of his life, he would rather just die!

“Ancestors! You can’t put it like that. Have you forgotten what kind of system I have?”

The... the Troll System!

“Fair enough. Just make sure you ‘troll’ other people instead. These old bones of ours can’t handle being tossed around like this anymore,” the Fifth Ancestor sighed.

As they looked at the mountain of Longevity Pills piled up before them, they suddenly felt a lot more at peace.

Even though Jiang Che’s Longevity Pills weren’t particularly potent and tasted awful, at least there was a massive supply—and more importantly, they didn't come with any of those ridiculous side effects!

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

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.
