Chapter 317: As Many As You Want
In the following days, news of the battle at the Feixian Sect gradually spread.
Although many people didn't know the law that the Immortal Emperor couldn't stay long in the Middle Immortal Realm.
But to make them believe Jiang Cheng was the Immortal Emperor, they would rather believe those eight already renowned experts.
This is also a reasonable assumption.
With eight Immortal King Level experts, who wouldn't use them but instead keep them at home as decoration?
That's just not logical!
So those eight must have acted at the time.
So it was them who did this battle!
As for that Ancestor Jiang from the Feixian Sect, he's just a red herring, right?
Anyone with a normal thought process would guess this, but how could they know Brother Cheng had an abnormal thought process?
Suddenly, the Three Great Corpse Kings and Immortal King Wu Jue, Jingyu Immortal King, and others caught tremendous attention.
This left Brother Cheng at a loss between tears and laughter, feeling quite conflicted.
Damn it, clearly, this is all my work, why are you giving credit to others?
Outrageous!
On the other hand, this kind of speculation has its advantages for him too.
If he were confirmed to have Immortal Emperor level power, it would be hard to gain any Shock Value in the future.
An Immortal Emperor in the Middle Immortal Realm is already a god who stops other gods, anything done would seem normal at that point.
A few days later, the Feixian Sect finally gathered over 14 billion top-grade Immortal Crystals.
With so many crystals, they could purchase over 140,000 Immortal Fate Orders, enough for all Feixian Sect disciples to ascend.
Holding the crystals, Brother Cheng embarked once again on the journey to the Celestial Pavilion.
This time, the eight great experts insisted on accompanying him no matter what!
On the other hand, the people of Feixian Sect almost fought to get onboard with Ancestor Jiang.
Besides Su Ye and Su Meng, who Brother Cheng personally selected, the other spots weren't confirmed yet.
And this trip to buy things didn't really need many people, ten at most was the limit.
"Ancestor Jiang, take me with you, last time I couldn't go, and I've regretted it every day, crying my eyes out..."
"Get lost, you have the nerve to mention last time? Didn't you strongly oppose it back then?"
"And you, you went last time, this time you should give your spot to others!"
"Exactly, leave the opportunity for those in more need!"
"Ancestor Jiang, I'm your indispensable accessory, you can't leave me behind..."
Brother Cheng was speechless.
The people from Feixian Sect couldn't provide any more Shock Value, he was originally too lazy to bring them along.
In the end, among the ten people selected, Great Elder Yuan Zhen and Second Elder Yuan Shu managed to squeeze in, as did Leng Huahan and Gu Qingyu.
Whereas Yuan Zhe, Yuan Wu, and Yuan He, who had accompanied him before, were eliminated this time.
So, the group boarded the Flying Ship and once again headed to the Celestial Pavilion.
Brother Cheng chose the Danhua City branch he first visited.
The reason was simple, it was closer.
As for the Immortal Fate Orders there being purchased entirely by him, that didn't matter.
Anyway, the Celestial Pavilion could transfer stock from other branches.
Upon entering, Branch President Ding Rui hurriedly came out to greet them.
When he saw everyone, his face blossomed into a smile like a chrysanthemum.
"Ah, Elder Jiang, your visit truly graces our humble Celestial Pavilion with your presence!"
"If you had informed us earlier, we would have sent someone to welcome you!"
He was considered an acquaintance now.
When Brother Cheng first visited, he thought this was just a naive fool.
But now, his impression had completely changed.
Killing nine Immortal Kings was not something anyone could take lightly.
Even in the Upper Immortal Realm, it was a big deal.
Although he thought it was those eight Immortal Kings who did it, weren't those eight following Jiang Cheng?
That also represented his strength!
The other customers in the store, upon hearing this was Ancestor Jiang of the Feixian Sect, immediately quieted down and looked on with reverence.
Brother Cheng was very satisfied, his status was much higher than last time.
The last time, there were even ignorant scions trying to provoke him.
"Haha, long time no see, how are you, Chairman Ding?"
Ding Rui felt slightly relieved.
This man now had a fearsome reputation!
If he disregarded the sanctions from the Upper Immortal Realm, leading Immortal Kings recklessly, even the Celestial Pavilion would suffer greatly.
"I'm good, I'm good... Elder Jiang, what brings you here this time?"
"What else can I be here for? Buying Immortal Fate Orders, of course!"
"Huh?"
Ding Rui was stunned, and the other customers were all dumbfounded as well.
Jiang Cheng had purchased 3,300 Immortal Fate Orders last time, and it had caused a huge stir.
It caused a commotion precisely because he bought so many.
Typical Ancient Immortal Sect or Demon Sect might gather only hundreds of Immortal Fate Orders per turn, more would break the "rules" and they couldn't digest them.
3,300 was already very envy-inducing.
And yet, he hadn't bought enough?
"You still want to buy more?"
Brother Cheng nodded: "Yeah, last time I didn't bring enough money, so I just bought some to test the waters."
Last time was just testing the waters?
Ding Rui couldn't help but ask, "So how many do you plan to buy this time?"
"It depends on how much stock your Celestial Pavilion has."
Brother Cheng actually planned to buy more than 140,000.
He had gathered a lot of spoils from the nine Immortal Kings and the Five Sects and One Family, and now he personally possessed 18 billion top-grade Immortal Crystals.
Combined with what the Feixian Sect gathered, they could buy 320,000.
This statement shocked everyone present.
Before the final decade arrives, most Immortals who've obtained Immortal Fate Orders would choose to sell them to the Celestial Pavilion first.
After all, they couldn't keep them safe, and it would invite assassination attempts.
So, at this time, the Celestial Pavilion should hold at least eighty percent of the Middle Immortal Realm's Immortal Fate Order stock.
Although the number of Immortal Fate Orders issued each turn varied, by judging from past patterns, all branches combined should have no less than 250,000, and possibly even up to 300,000.
Buy as many as there are?
Could he take all 300,000?
Ding Rui tried hard to calm his breathing, his mind buzzing.
This guy's crazy, isn't he?
Really crazy!
"What do you plan to do with so many Immortal Fate Orders?"
"Didn't I say before, I have a lot of disciples and grand-disciples."
Are you really planning to take everyone in the Feixian Sect up there?
Even if you plan to take them all, you don't need to buy them all up!
Ding Rui was speechless with criticism.
Seeing him dumbfounded and unable to speak a word, Brother Cheng impatiently waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, you clearly can't make the decision on this deal."
"Let that pretty lady from last time take over!"
"Besides, you'll need time to gather the stock, so prepare a dozen superior rooms for us first!"
You think my Celestial Pavilion is an inn, and I'm the waiter?
Despite the sarcasm in his heart, Ding Rui immediately put on a professional, warm smile.
"Got it!"
"Everyone, please come in!"
No choice, these guests were too special.
As soon as Brother Cheng moved in, the place erupted.
"Whoa, did I hear that right, buy it all up?"
"How many Immortal Crystals would that take?"
"Even selling off all of Feixian Sect's assets wouldn't be enough, right?"
"Not necessarily, Feixian Sect was once incredibly glorious; their assets are far more considerable than most Immortal Sects."
"How many Immortal Crystals isn't important, what's important is how he plans to keep them safe?"
"Exactly, even if they've slain nine Immortal Kings, it wouldn't help. There are over a thousand Immortal Kings in the Middle Immortal Realm; if he takes everything, won't others fight them to the death?"
"Looks like the Middle Immortal Realm is about to undergo major turmoil..."
"The final decade is the day the chaos fully erupts!"
