Eleven-fold Discount

Tian Haoran waved her hand. "Everyone, there is no need to worry. Of all the immortals who have come today... I presume the vast majority are running short on lifespan."

As she spoke, her gaze seemingly drifted over the immortals from the Jiang family who had come this time. The immortal lifespans of these people were terrifyingly high. There was even an old man whose lifespan reached a horrifying five hundred thousand years—he could outlive a damn Immortal Emperor!

Tian Haoran narrowed her eyes slightly. "To ensure that you all have no worries on your journey to eradicate evil and suppress demons, I will solve your lifespan crises for you."

"Patriarch Jiang, do you think this is feasible? Can Young Master Jiang's lifespan-extending immortal pills be sold in bulk to our Heavenly Dao Palace? I, Tian Haoran, swear upon the Great Dao... I will absolutely not covet the taboo immortal pills for personal gain."

Tian Haoran's words completely dumbfounded Jiang Yuan and the others.

They knew that this Young Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace was born with a righteous aura and attained her Dao through justice. When she became an immortal... even the immortal tribulation didn't make things too difficult for her.

"Palace Master Tian... do you know how many spirit stone resources that will require?" Jiang Yuan asked seriously.

"Naturally, I know. Our Heavenly Dao Palace will open the ancient Heavenly Court's legacy treasury. If the Nine Heavens completely fall, our Heavenly Dao Palace will naturally lose its meaning of existence. We might as well take out the treasury to make some contributions to the Nine Heavens."

Jiang Yuan: "......"

To be honest, he had lived for over a hundred thousand years, and Tian Haoran was clearly just a junior to him, yet facing Tian Haoran, he actually felt a sense of inadequacy and shame.

If he controlled the taboo immortal pills, he would definitely donate them to her unconditionally. But the taboo immortal pills belonged to Young Master Jiang; they at most only had temporary management rights.

"Palace Master Tian, I will speak with Young Master Jiang."

"Thank you," Tian Haoran nodded slightly.

"Patriarch Jiang, our Heavenly Dao Palace will purchase the immortal pills using Saint-grade spirit stones as the minimum standard, including immortal weapons, immortal pills, and dilution arrays. We will show the utmost sincerity."

......

"What? The Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace wants to buy taboo immortal pills in bulk?"

Jiang Che quickly received the news.

"That is correct, Young Master Jiang. The Heavenly Dao Palace has issued the Heavenly Dao Evil-Slaying Decree. They plan to purchase taboo immortal pills in the name of their individual faction to use as rewards for the cultivators participating in the war..."

Clad in golden holy armor, Qiu Lin half-knelt before Jiang Che. Now, this Dragon Race subordinate had become Jiang Che's strongest errand-runner, and his bloodline had been successively upgraded by Jiang Che. The main reason was that this guy was ruthless enough. In order to stay by Jiang Che's side, he had voluntarily blinded his own eyes and even castrated himself. He could be called the most ruthless person in the Nine Heavens!

"Heh, what a righteous figure." Jiang Che gently licked his lips. This Tian Haoran had actually fused with a Great Dao Source too?

Previously, the Supreme Dao Source appeared, and later Bai Susu also gained the recognition of the Charm Dao Source. And now, this Tian Haoran had obtained the Righteous Dao Source...

Originally, a Great Dao Source would hardly appear even in over a hundred thousand years, and the Nine Heavens hadn't seen a Dao-Merging level Supreme Immortal Emperor in hundreds of thousands of years.

But now they were erupting like a geyser. There was probably a reason behind this!

"Although I consider myself a villain, what we are doing is also a righteous matter. Since this Heavenly Dao Palace is so meticulous in their actions, cooperating with them is fine," Jiang Che said calmly.

He heard that Tian Haoran had sworn upon the Great Dao. The binding force of this kind of Great Dao oath was far higher than a Heavenly Dao oath!

Especially for such a Supreme Immortal Emperor, if they violated a Great Dao oath, they would very likely be abandoned by the Great Dao Source.

"Here, this is the wholesale price list. Let's see if she can afford it."

Jiang Che tossed out an invoice, which clearly recorded:

[Low-grade Lifespan-Extending Pill, one supreme-grade spirit stone, maximum available for sale: 1,000,000 pills]

[Inferior-grade Lifespan-Extending Pill...]

[Mid-grade Lifespan-Extending Pill...]

"Tell her, this young master can consider giving her a one hundred and ten percent 'discount', and I'll even throw in some free samples," Jiang Che grinned. Aside from his face, there wasn't a single part of him that acted human.

"A one hundred and ten percent discount..." Qiu Lin fell silent for a moment, but then nodded.

Subsequently, he disappeared from his spot.

After Qiu Lin left, Jiang Che shook his head to himself.

"Looting a burning house, you little rascal, you really aren't human!" The void rippled as the figure of the White Fox Immortal Venerable slowly emerged. Although she had separated eight avatars to protect Jiang Che's girls, her true body was still on the immortal boat.

Bai Susu skillfully sat in Jiang Che's lap. Her fox tails swayed, and her white fox ears bore faint traces of blood-red plum blossoms. Her entire being was as enchantingly beautiful as a kingdom-ruining demoness; even King Zhou's Daji from the past was probably far inferior to this White Fox Immortal Venerable.

To say something terrifying, just having Bai Susu sit beside him made Jiang Che feel the extreme yang energy in his body being madly sucked away by her. It was just that terrifying!

"Whether I'm human or not... Susu, could you possibly not know?" Jiang Che smiled mischievously, wrapping his arm around Bai Susu's slender waist.

"Husband... I've yielded to you in everything. Can't you return the Charm Dao Source to me?" Bai Susu bit her lower lip lightly, speaking pitifully.

"I can't give that back. I'm afraid that once I return the Great Dao Source to you, you'll just run away," Jiang Che said, his large hand squeezing Bai Susu's pure white fox tail.

"We're already bound to death by the Marriage Stone. Even if I run, where could I possibly run to?" Bai Susu sighed.

This damn man really wouldn't loosen his grip even a little bit. She had suffered so miserably for so long for nothing!

...

Heavenly Dao Palace.

Hall of Justice.

Tian Haoran sat upright in her chair, wearing a plain white robe. She was flipping through a book in her hands, seemingly reading. Her long hair was not tied up, cascading down freely, and her handsome face looked extremely serious.

Holding the book in one hand, a mass of black mist floated in the palm of her other hand—it was impressively the aura of an evil spirit.

"The Righteous Dao Source can indeed completely eradicate evil spirits. I am more suited to wiping out the evil spirit disaster than the Human Emperor of the past."

"But my cultivation is still far inferior to the Human Emperor's. Back then, the Human Emperor fused with the Reincarnation Dao, which ranked seventh among the three thousand Great Daos, while the Righteous Dao Source I fused with only ranks twenty-sixth. Even the Human Emperor failed; can I really..."

After pondering for a moment, her gaze instantly became resolute. She crushed the black mist with one hand. "Regardless, righteousness slays evil. The advantage is mine!"

Right at this moment, a figure appeared outside the hall.

"Palace Master Tian, Young Master Jiang has replied to you."

Tian Haoran slightly raised her eyes. "Speak."

"Young Master Jiang said... he said... he agreed to our request."

Hearing this, the corners of Tian Haoran's mouth slowly curled into a smile. "As expected. It seems that Jiang Che is not that foolishly stubborn. At the very least, he is someone who understands reason and grasps the greater good."

"B-But... Young Master Jiang wants to give us a discount..."

However, Tian Haoran scoffed and smiled. "A discount? Our Heavenly Dao Palace has a massive enterprise and great wealth; we are not lacking that little bit of a discount... Just pay the full price directly. Do not let others look down on us."

"But the discount Jiang Che gave us is... ele... ele..." The messenger's voice was trembling.

"What!!!" Hearing this, Tian Haoran stood straight up. "An eleven percent price tag?!!"

Then she burst out laughing. A ninety percent discount! It seems I have misunderstood Young Master Jiang. So that's how it is! To think Young Master Jiang is such a reasonable man. He must have long anticipated the current crisis caused by the evil spirits...

Just as Tian Haoran was about to let her imagination run wild, the messenger spoke up, sounding completely devastated.

No, Palace Master! It's... it's a ten percent surcharge! He charged us an extra ten percent on top of the market price, calling it some sort of... pill tax!

Tian Haoran: ......
