Tian Haoran felt her entire scalp go numb. A discount? A freaking one hundred and ten percent discount?!
To think she actually believed she had misjudged him before—turns out she was still wrong.
This Jiang Che was nothing but a blatant scoundrel!
"Forget it. Since I've already decided to purchase the immortal pills, an extra ten percent doesn't matter. The grand plan of the Nine Heavens must come first."
With a sigh, Tian Haoran took out a mysterious key. Engraved on it were three words: Heaven Reaching Token.
"One million low-grade life-extension pills equal one million one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. If converted to immortal-grade spirit stones, it will take at least one thousand immortal-grade spirit stones."
"There are also the inferior-grade and mid-grade life-extension pills. I'm afraid that will require at least three thousand immortal-grade spirit stones."
Tian Haoran furrowed her brows tightly and gently rubbed her temples.
"Fortunately, the Heavenly Court's legacy contains numerous treasures. Taking out a few won't hurt..."
"However, I wonder when the true legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court will finally appear!"
Although their Heavenly Dao Palace claimed to have inherited the Heavenly Court's legacy, it was actually just a small fraction. The true treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court had yet to reveal itself.
"Forget it... I just hope Jiang Che can walk the righteous path and not stray into demonic ways."
Tian Haoran sighed, a faint weariness revealing itself between her brows.
"Chan... Tian'er, you shouldn't expose yourself so recklessly right now." An old man stepped out from the void. It was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Palace, Tian Xingdao, an existence at the level of a Six-Tribulation Immortal Emperor.
"Master!" Tian Haoran bowed slightly.
"The Origin of the Righteous Path... Even I never expected that you would actually gain the approval of the Righteous Path's Origin!" The old man's voice carried a tone of gratification.
How many years had it been? Their Heavenly Dao Palace had finally produced a Supreme Immortal Emperor!
"But your cultivation is still shallow. You are currently only at the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even if you can defeat a true Immortal Emperor with the blessing of the Righteous Path's Origin, you will undoubtedly lose if you encounter that Evil Spirit Demon Emperor!"
Tian Xingdao sighed. "That entity who founded the Evil Spirit Path has lived for far too long. Now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, her cultivation has only grown more unfathomable. You are no match for her."
"Even if you gain the fortune of heaven and earth and defeat the Evil Spirit Demon Emperor, she is not alone. That Demon-Sealing High Immortal in the Nine Heavens Demon Domain will not just sit back and watch. After all, they share the same master."
"Can you defeat two Supreme Immortal Emperors all by yourself?"
Tian Haoran remained silent.
"Sigh... Tian'er, you are still too young. Cultivating the righteous path is your talent, but it is also your flaw."
This disciple of his was simply too righteous!
"Forget it. As long as you don't charge into the Evil Spirit Plane, that Evil Spirit Demon Emperor won't come out on her own. Although she is a Supreme Immortal Emperor, her true body is sealed within the abyss..."
"If push comes to shove... you can ask that Young Master Jiang for help. He definitely won't refuse."
......
Jiang Che's alchemy furnace started operating again.
For the low-grade life-extension pills, Jiang Che only needed to throw in the trashiest spirit stones to make something out of nothing.
A few hundred low-grade spirit stones acting as a catalyst could refine hundreds of thousands of low-grade life-extension pills. Yet, any single one of these hundreds of thousands of pills could be sold for the astronomical price of one top-grade spirit stone!
The profit margin here was a staggering hundreds of millions of times!
When the furnace turned, immortals trembled.
"Young Master, your furnace has finished refining..." A soft and cute voice entered Jiang Che's ears.
The little demon witch knelt by Jiang Che's side.
"Oh," Jiang Che said flatly, then waved his large hand.
"Keep the music playing and the dancing going!"
In front of him, Bai Tianwu, dressed in a red ancient-style long dress, was dancing gracefully. Her water sleeves fluttered lightly, and her fox tails were half-concealed, exuding a tantalizing beauty of being both near and far.
Jiang Che didn't quite understand why some ancient kings enjoyed watching dancing girls, so he repeatedly observed Bai Tianwu's posture and tried to comprehend it. Fortunately, Young Master Jiang possessed a bit of an artistic flair and gained quite a bit of insight.
As the song ended, Bai Tianwu walked elegantly toward Jiang Che, lightly biting her thin lip.
She was getting a bit impatient!
Because this bad man Jiang Che wasn't proactive at all! Every time, he only watched her dance and had never even held her hand. This dealt a massive blow to Bai Tianwu's confidence!
Even that little demon witch Mo Lingxuan had been eaten clean by Jiang Che. So why, as an immortal of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, did Jiang Che not touch her at all?
In terms of beauty, although she wouldn't dare say she surpassed the White Fox Immortal Venerable or Her Highness Bai Qingxian, she was still a top-tier peerless beauty. Why wouldn't Jiang Che touch her???
At first, she was quite reserved, but ever since Bai Qingxian urged her last time, her mindset had changed.
That's right! She was a grand beauty of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, ranked among the top three on the Nine Heavens Beauty List ten thousand years ago. Although she lived in seclusion now, her illustrious name still echoed throughout the Nine Heavens!
During her peak, Immortal Lords would generously throw away fortunes just to watch her dance once, and countless Immortal Masters and even Immortal Lords had professed their love to her.
If it weren't for the White Fox Immortal Lord backing her, she would have long been kidnapped into some dark room by those immortals.
After all, she was the only person in the Nine Heavens who attained immortality through the Dao of Dance!
But Jiang Che seemed to genuinely only be interested in her dancing?
Could it be that she had gotten ugly?
How proud was she in the past? She politely rejected even the pursuit of Immortal Lords and completely disdained competing with other women for favor!
But now...
In the end, a person always grows up to become the type of person they hate the most!
"Young Master Jiang, did I... not dance well?"
Bai Tianwu arrived in front of Jiang Che. Ever since she firmly made up her mind to follow him, the outfits she wore for dancing had become increasingly revealing.
Bai Tianwu lifted her jade-like leg. The dancing dress split open along both sides of her thighs, revealing snow-white skin. She was barefoot, and a string of small red bells jingled softly around her ankle.
She placed her leg on Jiang Che's chair, her eyes seductive and silky, while a few fox tails swayed behind her. A true vixen!
"Fairy Tianwu, what is the meaning of this? I am an upright gentleman!" Jiang Che said with a serious expression. "I just wanted to observe and learn what the true Dao of Dance is!"
However, Bai Tianwu snorted coldly. "I don't care if you're an upright gentleman or not. Anyway, I'm not an upright gentleman; you can just treat me as a female hooligan!"
Jiang Che: "..."
He swore to the heavens, he really was just appreciating Bai Tianwu's dancing!
After all, for a dancer of this caliber, being able to see but not touch was the most alluring part!
"You... don't pretend to be so proper either," Bai Tianwu said, though she was the first to break character. Her face flushed red as her pearly white teeth bit down hard on her lip.
"Besides, what proper man has so many wives and concubines by his side? You... you didn't reject Her Highness Qingxian or Lord Heavenly Fox Priest. Why are you only rejecting me?"
"I have left behind all the fame and fortune of the Qingqiu Clan to be by your side. I don't ask for a formal title, but at the very least, you shouldn't leave me out in the cold!"
Bai Tianwu's tone was incredibly firm. Anyway, this Jiang Che wasn't exactly an innocent boy looking for pure love, so what the hell was she still acting reserved for?
At the speed Jiang Che was taking in women, if she waited any longer, she'd be left with nothing but scraps.
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.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
. 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!"
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
