"Th-this... what is this?" The divine senses of the immortals stared fixedly at those thirty Longevity Immortal Peaches, their eyes filled with unconcealed greed.
Such rich longevity essence! Even smelling it from such a distance made one feel as if they were floating like a true immortal. One must know... nearly ninety percent of the immortals currently struggling to survive in the Nine Heavens were severely lacking in lifespan.
On the Nine Heavens Immortal Rankings, only twenty or thirty immortals were added every ten thousand years. An ordinary One-Tribulation Immortal only had a lifespan of about a hundred thousand years, while immortals of the Four-Tribulation Immortal Lord and Five-Tribulation Immortal Venerable levels only had a lifespan of about two to three hundred thousand years.
Facing the erosion of the long river of time, even immortals could not resist.
"Longevity Immortal Peaches? To think such divine items still exist! I was wondering why all those old fogeys from the Jiang family have been coming out of seclusion recently. So this is why!"
"Why wouldn't the Jiang family put such divine items up for auction?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really want to just snatch these immortal peaches right now!"
The appearance of the immortal peaches caused a shockwave among the crowd. Of course... at this moment, the most shocked person was none other than Mo Lingxuan's father, the Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable.
He was completely dumbfounded. How could his daughter have so many immortal peaches on her? It seemed she really had stolen Jiang Che's things!!!
Oh no! The Jiang family actually has such a precious longevity tree, and to cause trouble at a time like this...
The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable gasped in his heart. His daughter had indeed caused a huge disaster.
But fortunately, she was quite proactive in admitting her mistake. It looked like Xuan'er had probably eaten one immortal fruit. At worst, he would just use all the resources he brought to auction for the immortal pill to compensate the Jiang family. These resources were enough to win a forbidden immortal pill that could increase lifespan by one hundred and twenty thousand years. But right now, he could only try to stabilize Young Master Jiang's emotions first.
"Heh heh... Hahahaha!"
Jiang Che continued to laugh out loud, "Miss Xuan'er, it's already come to this, and you're still not telling the truth?"
"I... I, I..." Mo Lingxuan felt the gazes of the surrounding immortals staring straight at her.
She understood that she could no longer quibble. She had actually wanted to hide half of the fruits for herself.
"I... it's not that I wasn't telling the truth, I just couldn't hold them all," Mo Lingxuan tried to make a weak excuse, then placed the thirty longevity immortal fruits from her arms onto the table, before taking out all the remaining fruits in one go.
A full sixty-seven of them!
!!!!!!
The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable was completely numb. Even at a time like this, his daughter still hadn't told the truth?
She truly lived up to being the daughter of the Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable. She was well-developed in intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, but was solely lacking in morals.
Over sixty longevity immortal fruits!
Being taken out all at once, the vigorous vitality they emitted left the other dozens of Five-Tribulation Immortal Venerables on the Fuxi Divine Mountain dumbfounded and extremely covetous. The longevity essence contained within was enough to extend their lifespans by six to seven hundred thousand years.
"To think the Jiang family has such divine items? Xian'er, did you see that? This is Jiang Che's foundation, your future husband!"
In a certain dragon carriage on the divine mountain, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a supreme sovereign sat cross-legged with his hands resting on his knees. Standing in front of him was a petite girl with flowing blue hair. The girl was about eight or nine years old and looked adorably naive.
"Daddy, what is a husband?"
The girl bit her hand, her large eyes blinking, but her gaze couldn't help glancing in Jiang Che's direction. She really wanted to eat those shiny, juicy big peaches.
"A husband is someone who can accompany you through your entire life. After daddy passes away in meditation, your husband will be the one to take care of you," Demon Emperor Kunpeng sighed, looking at his daughter with a complex and helpless feeling in his heart.
"Daddy, how could you pass away? We came this time to auction for the forbidden immortal pill! Legend says it can increase lifespan by one hundred and twenty thousand years!" The blue-haired girl's beautiful big eyes sparkled with light, and her small hands waved her fingers as if trying to gesture the size of one hundred and twenty thousand.
Demon Emperor Kunpeng waved his hand, "Xian'er, do you see that red-haired older sister? In the future, if you stay by your husband's side, you absolutely must not learn from her. You have to be a good girl."
Gu Xian'er blinked twice and scratched her head, not quite understanding.
......
"Young Master Jiang! These resources are all the wealth our Demon Palace has accumulated over a hundred thousand years. I originally intended to use them to bid for the forbidden immortal pill, but... because of my daughter's mistake in plucking so many immortal fruits, I no longer want the immortal pill. Consider this as my apology to you."
The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable shielded Mo Lingxuan behind him. She was his only daughter, and he had originally planned to introduce her to Young Master Jiang to be his Dao companion. Who would have thought this girl was so prone to causing trouble.
Fortunately, the items weren't lost; Mo Lingxuan had only eaten one.
"Xuan'er!!! Apologize to Young Master Jiang!" the Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable scolded.
Mo Lingxuan's cheeks flushed red. As proud as she was... she had to apologize in front of so many people?
"I'm sorry, Young Master Jiang, I was wrong!" Circumstances were stronger than people. If there hadn't been a Supreme Immortal Emperor standing behind Jiang Che, let alone apologizing, she would have dug up that entire longevity fruit tree and taken it away too.
"Heh..." Jiang Che's thin lips curled slightly. "You don't know that you're wrong, you just know that you're going to die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the air instantly became tense and hostile. At this moment, even the Immortal Ancestors hidden all around the Jiang family instantly arrived by Jiang Che's side.
The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable frowned deeply, protecting Mo Lingxuan behind him. Why was this situation completely different from what he had imagined?
Meanwhile, Mo Lingxuan was already scared silly. He... he wanted to kill her?
"Please calm your anger, Young Master Jiang. Here are over 200 immortal-grade spirit stones, 3 immortal-grade ore veins, 2 immortal herbs, one thousand tons of Supreme Profound Divine Precious Iron, a hundred drops of Nine Heavens Mysterious Yin Water..."
The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable rattled off all the good things like he was reading off a menu. All of them were uniformly immortal-grade divine treasures.
"Heh..." Jiang Che sneered.
"Do you think this young master lacks these things? You should carefully ask your daughter exactly what she did!" Jiang Che shouted angrily.
"Trespassing into my immortal herb garden, stealing my immortal herbs, and even heavily injuring my longevity fruit tree before leaving, causing its immortal dao origin to be severely depleted to the point where it might never bear longevity immortal fruits again. This young master could tolerate all of that... but did you know that the longevity fruit tree you heavily injured is this young master's beloved wife!"
Jiang Che's voice revealed a trace of terrifying pressure. Although he only had the cultivation base of the peak Nirvana Realm, it was enough to make even the immortals' hearts tremble.
"What? Heavily injured the immortal tree!!!" The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable's scalp instantly went numb, and he looked at his daughter in disbelief.
Daughter, stealing things is one thing, but you actually ruined their longevity fruit tree.
For a split second, he wanted to sever their father-daughter relationship.
Mo Lingxuan was also completely bewildered listening to this. When had she ever ruined the longevity fruit tree?
"N-no! I didn't ruin your fruit tree! I really just picked the immortal peaches and left! That wasn't me!!!"
The girl's voice was a bit broken. She felt as if she had stepped right into a trap.
Yes! It was a trap that had been set up long ago!
Why wasn't she discovered while inside the Realm-Breaking Immortal Boat, only to be found the exact moment she came out? Moreover, she had been observing Jiang Che and that Jia Mengluo from such a close distance earlier... and she hadn't been noticed despite being right there!!!
For her to be caught the second she emerged, there was only one possibility!
Jiang Che had noticed her long ago. Even the immortal medicine was a deliberate setup just to screw her over!
It had to be said that Mo Lingxuan's intuition was spot on. She had guessed it completely right.
"Fine, fine, fine, you refuse to admit it, right?" Jiang Che scoffed coldly. Best Actor Jiang was starting his performance once again!
If Mo Lingxuan had no morals, Jiang Che had even fewer. This was simply a case of a petty scumbag running into a massive bastard.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
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?!
