Starting With 100 Million Lives

The Reception Immortal really wanted to say, of course it matters!

This is the first time someone has dared to commit murder on Celestial Pavilion's territory.

And the murder was so savage that blood stained the ground everywhere, making the scene incredibly brutal.

This is blatantly embarrassing the Commerce Association!

In the past, Commerce Association experts would immediately intervene.

Then there would be punishment where needed and compensation where necessary. In the face of Celestial Pavilion's power, everyone had to submit.

But now, they truly have no grounds to act like that.

Because they had just tacitly allowed the Chu Dynasty's provocation, effectively breaking their own rules.

If they now pursue Jiang Cheng for the issue, it would be typical double standards, damaging Celestial Pavilion's reputation.

"Hmm?"

Brother Cheng frowned.

"No, no, if our honored guest wants to trade, of course, you can. Please follow me..."

At this moment, the Reception Immortal received instructions from above to continue the transaction.

However, Branch President Ding Rui would personally appear.

Under the complex gaze of everyone, the group quickly proceeded to the inner layers of the Commerce Association.

Here, Brother Cheng met Ding Rui, but sitting in front of him was still Miao Yu.

Facing this fairy who was so beautiful she didn't seem real, Brother Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances to show respect.

He silently scored her 99 points in his mind, deducting one point to prevent her from becoming arrogant.

Her looks were among the only ones he had seen that could rival Lan Ti.

Thinking of Lan Ti, he rarely felt a hint of worry.

Ji Linghan and Lin Ning should still be together after reaching the Upper Immortal Realm, but Lan Ti was alone and her whereabouts unknown.

He actually had the mood to admire other beauties, which was truly unacceptable!

At least he should wait until he finds her.

Miao Yu was obviously unaware she was being scored by the person across from her.

Her expression remained calm as she spoke, "We have 115 Immortal Fate Orders here. Do you want to buy them all?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing there were only 115, Brother Cheng was somewhat disappointed.

"May I know your esteemed name?"

Miao Yu hadn't gathered much information previously.

Instantly killing several Profound Immortals is something most Golden Immortals can accomplish, which doesn't prove much.

And Jiang Cheng's current realm is only First Grade Golden Immortal, but he has three Immortal Venerables behind him, obviously more than meets the eye.

Thus, she decided to engage in this negotiation to gather further information.

Brother Cheng didn't think much of it and directly handed over a Storage Ring containing 1.15 million Top-grade Immortal Crystals.

"My surname is Jiang; the Immortal Crystals are all here. Where's the goods I want?"

Miao Yu glanced at Ding Rui, who quickly laid out all 115 Immortal Fate Orders.

Brother Cheng casually picked up one Immortal Fate Order and examined it. This thing was indeed delicate, emanating a mysterious and vast aura, far from being a mere mortal object.

Miao Yu, meanwhile, pondered all the significant figures she knew with the surname Jiang.

Unfortunately, except for the slain Nine Flames Immortal Emperor, others had merely heard of Jiang Cheng but never actually seen him.

She truly had no idea what he looked like.

"May I ask what your purpose is for buying so many Immortal Fate Orders?"

Brother Cheng gazed at her as if she were a fool, "Ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm, of course. What else?"

Miao Yu's demeanor remained unaltered as she continued, "There's no need to pretend ignorance; you and I both know, at this time, buying so many Immortal Fate Orders is unusual."

"So you mean now is not the peak season for Immortal Fate Order sales?"

Miao Yu hadn't heard terms like sales or peak seasons before, but she understood the general idea.

"It seems you are aware..."

"Indeed."

Brother Cheng rubbed his fingers together with a smile, "Since I purchased so much during your off-season, shouldn't you offer a discount?"

"Discount?"

"I mean, can you make it cheaper?"

He didn't only want 115 pieces; after buying here, he needed to hurry to the next branch.

Saving a bit here and there had always been Brother Cheng's thrifty approach.

Not just Miao Yu, but even Ding Rui and Ye Yang Immortal King were a bit taken aback.

This was the first time they had seen someone try to bargain when purchasing Immortal Fate Orders.

"You're quite humorous; the price of Immortal Fate Orders has always been 100,000 Top-grade Immortal Crystals and has never changed. Those are the rules..."

Brother Cheng was rather disappointed, "If the price can't be discussed, why did you waste time saying so much nonsense? It really is a waste of precious time."

Packing the 115 Immortal Fate Orders into his Storage Ring, he stood up to leave.

Miao Yu was completely stunned.

She had never seen someone like this before.

What, is chatting with her a grievance?

Even those behind him, like Leng Huahan and Yuan Zhe, were speechless.

Really so straightforward?

The patriarch is a bit too iron-willed, isn't he?

If this provoked the other party, what then?

Ye Yang Immortal King across the room was indeed enraged; this person was truly impolite, far too disrespectful to the lady.

Just as he was about to speak, Miao Yu stopped him.

"The person you just killed is the nephew of this city's City Lord."

Her expression had already returned to calm, showing remarkable composure.

"Regarding this matter, the City Lord will certainly not let it rest. Retribution is inevitable."

"With the manpower beside you, they are surely insufficient to withstand this city's experts and three thousand Immortal Guard Army."

Brother Cheng frowned, "So, are you going to help me confront them?"

Honestly, he didn't need teammates.

Fortunately, Miao Yu didn't disappoint him; she shook her head.

"Our Celestial Pavilion remains neutral, not interfering in any grudges or vendettas. At most, we can guarantee your safety within the store."

Brother Cheng curtly cupped his hand, "Then farewell."

This woman had nothing wrong, except for her love of talking nonsense.

If Miao Yu knew he evaluated her like this, she might be too furious to speak.

Confidently, she then changed her tone, "However, we can provide a Transmission Array that extends directly ten billion miles."

"The condition is that you reveal the true purpose for purchasing the Immortal Fate Orders and its underlying intention."

"You must know, the Commerce Association's Transmission Arrays have never been available for outsiders to use, so this counts as an exception."

"Therefore, I think this condition is not unreasonable."

Upon hearing this, Leng Huahan, Yuan Zhe, and others immediately became overjoyed.

Their current pressure indeed was substantial.

Although without the Immortal City Ascension Battle, each Immortal City was less crucial than before, to be a City Lord certainly wouldn't rank below an Immortal Venerable.

And the City Lord wouldn't be without some experts nearby.

If a battle erupts, whether their side can retreat unscathed is truly uncertain.

If they could covertly use the Commerce Association's Transmission Array to leave here, avoiding future disputes, it would be the optimal choice.

Sadly, Brother Cheng couldn't empathize with their sentiments.

He vigorously waved his hand, "You're too considerate; asking for exceptions and changing principles must be really embarrassing. I don't like troubling others!"

"Farewell, farewell!"

With that said, and not caring about the dismayed expressions of the others in the room, he strode out.

Once outside, Elder Yuan Zhe couldn't restrain himself any longer.

"Patriarch, I believe this is quite inappropriate!"

If this wasn't the patriarch appointed by the Sect Leader but just an ordinary Feixian Sect Elder, he would have reprimanded him harshly long ago.

Since entering, his high-profile objectives had exposed him, and every subsequent step chose the wrong options.

He even suspected Jiang Cheng might have done it intentionally.
