Tian Chan touched the storage ring on her hand, feeling a bit guilty.
She had previously made an estimate. Currently, paying an average Immortal for a single battle required at least a thousand years of lifespan as a wage. If they killed an Evil Spirit Immortal, they would need a bonus, and hiring a Great Emperor would likely start at several hundred years of lifespan. The resources she brought this time were probably not enough to buy pills worth thirty million years of lifespan, but she believed that with her glib tongue, she could definitely persuade Jiang Che!
"Thirty million years of lifespan? Let me do the math... That's thirty million low-grade Lifespan Extension Pills, which equates to 3.3 million Saint-grade Spirit Stones. Factoring in the exchange rate... you'd have to give me at least 33,000 Immortal-grade Spirit Stones!!!"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and spoke deliberately, his voice even carrying a hint of mockery.
33,000 Immortal-grade Spirit Stones? Miss, did you bring enough money?
"Young Master Jiang... why is there a ten percent markup? We are doing a major collaboration... Besides, I'm not doing this for my own selfish desires, but for the sake of the common people in the world..." Tian Chan frowned. It was one thing not to offer a discount, but to actually charge 110 percent of the price!
"It's exactly because it's a major collaboration that I have to charge a markup! The more we trade, the more I earn!" Jiang Che said with his legs crossed, completely disregarding Tian Chan's feelings.
Beep! The host has scammed Tian Chan, earning 1.5 billion points.
"Young Master Jiang! The Evil Spirit army is currently bearing down on our borders. In the future, the Nine Heavens and Myriad Realms will fall into great turmoil. As a favored child of heaven holding the path to immortality... your vision shouldn't be so narrow!"
"The Evil Spirit disaster cannot be eradicated by one person alone. Even the Human Emperor couldn't accomplish it back then! Those of the righteous path... should take it upon themselves to protect the common people of the world!"
Tian Chan's face was extremely serious, and a radiant righteous aura surged from her body. From a certain perspective, this wasn't moral kidnapping, nor was she being a hypocritical saint.
Moral kidnappers and hypocritical saints were the types who forced others to do things while sitting on their high horses without giving a single dime. But Tian Chan had almost emptied her own life savings. To put it bluntly, she was simply bound by the righteous path she upheld.
Pfft! Jiang Che burst out laughing. "Palace Master Tian, you couldn't possibly be thinking that I would... just hand over the Lifespan Extension Pills to you for free, right?"
"Do you think I look like such a generous person?"
Hearing this, Tian Chan immediately waved her hands. "Young Master Jiang, you misunderstand. I don't intend to take them for free. I plan to trade all the Ancient Heavenly Court relics in my possession with you. There are a total of 150,000 Immortal-grade Spirit Stones, three Immortal Herbs, over four hundred Immortal Artifacts, countless Immortal Pills and miraculous medicines, as well as precious Immortal Materials. These are all the Immortal Treasures I can offer."
"Please, for the sake of the people of the world..."
"Young Master, I know you aren't lacking in resources like Spirit Stones. I can give you what you need most... such as world-renowned fame..."
"I don't need world-renowned fame, I just want babes!"
"......"
"However, the Ancient Heavenly Court relics you just mentioned... Could it be the Ancient Heavenly Court from a million years ago?" Jiang Che grew interested. He didn't know much about the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Tian Chan instantly raised her head upon hearing this. Just as she thought... Jiang Che was very interested in the Ancient Heavenly Court. It seemed he really did hold the complete Ancient Heavenly Court relics.
"Young Master Jiang, I have gained the recognition of the Ancient Heavenly Court Token and have now fully obtained its relics. Of course... I only have a broken token here, and the treasures contained within are less than a tenth of the true Immortal Hoard. Young Master Jiang, you wield the Immortal Binding Rope... Presumably, the truly complete Heavenly Court Token is in your hands, right?"
"Hmm?" Good heavens, this Tian Chan actually suspected that he had the Heavenly Court Token?
But it was actually pretty close. Even though he didn't have the Heavenly Court Token himself, that Lord of Destiny, Chu Yuan, had it!
That Lord of Destiny who walked out of the Blue Planet, the Lord of Destiny who possessed the Chaos Immortal Body!
It was just a pity that he had now become Jiang Che's employee. As long as Jiang Che gave the order... he could totally make that kid hand over the Heavenly Court Token.
"That's right, the other half of the Heavenly Court Token is indeed in my hands, but so what?"
"If you want to buy lifespan from me, you can't be short a single Spirit Stone!" Jiang Che smiled, but in Tian Chan's eyes, that smile was full of malice.
"I like beauties, but it's such a pity... you're a man." Jiang Che deliberately shrugged his shoulders and even whistled frivolously.
Tian Chan: "......"
For a brief moment, she really wanted to speak up and say that she was actually a woman.
"Young Master Jiang, matters of romantic love are completely not worth mentioning in the face of the common people of the world!"
"Alright, alright! Considering that you are the leader of the righteous path... I won't ask you for the ten percent markup anymore. Just pay the original price, that's the biggest concession I can make!"
Right as the two were chatting, a sudden commotion broke out at the entrance of Jiang Che's hall.
"Husband Brother, Sister Wan'er told me to come play with you."
A petite little girl came trotting in. With a head of blue hair and a delicate, jade-carved appearance, she was incredibly cute. It was none other than the Kunpeng Immortal Emperor's daughter, Gu Xian'er.
Looking about eight or nine years old, she happily walked up to Jiang Che.
"Huh! It's Uncle Tian?" Gu Xian'er looked up. It was obvious she recognized Tian Chan.
"Uh..." Tian Chan felt extremely awkward. Although she always presented herself as a male to the outside world, being called Uncle naturally made her feel uncomfortable. The most crucial point was... she called Jiang Che Husband Brother, but called her Uncle?
No, it should be Sister, but that wasn't right either... Her soul age was only twenty thousand years old, while this little girl was already eighty thousand years old!
"Oh my, our Xian'er has grown even prettier! Did Sister Wan'er tie this bow for you?" Jiang Che pulled Gu Xian'er onto his lap.
He really was raising this little thing like a daughter.
As he spoke, Jiang Che took out a palm-sized jade bottle and handed it to Gu Xian'er.
"Xian'er, take these jelly beans and eat them for now!"
Gu Xian'er instantly became happy. "Thank you, Husband Brother!" Saying that, she took out a jelly bean and proactively held it out to Jiang Che. "Husband eats first!"
Tian Chan: "......"
She cultivated the righteous path, so she could naturally tell that Jiang Che had no wicked thoughts toward the little child. But what truly made her lose her composure was... what Gu Xian'er was eating were not jelly beans at all!!!!!
Inside that bottle, every single one was a Saint-grade Lifespan Extension Pill!
A peerless pill that could extend one's lifespan by 120,000 years. Casually tossing out just one would be enough to trigger a storm of blood and slaughter across the Nine Heavens, yet there were dozens of them inside that bottle!!!
Yet they were being given to this little girl to eat as jelly beans...
She felt a bit envious. Gu Xian'er was only treated as a daughter by Jiang Che... yet she could receive so many Lifespan Extension Pills. If someone became his woman, wouldn't she be able to have as many Lifespan Extension Pills as she wanted?
If she were to give birth to a playful and cute daughter for him, wouldn't he give them whatever they wanted?
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...
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.”
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
