Starting With 100 Million Lives

Free?

How could this person even say that?

Miao Yu nearly wanted to slice open his face with a sword to see just how thick-skinned he was.

Over 300,000 Immortal Fate Orders, a total of over 30 billion top-grade Immortal Crystals!

This was a huge amount even for the Celestial Pavilion.

How could he just brush it off with a few words and expect it to be free?

She frowned and said, "Sect Leader Jiang, let's not make such jokes."

"In the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, your people will also need our strength!"

"It's not just us who need you; it's a mutual accomplishment. I hope you understand."

Brother Cheng didn't like hearing that!

What do you mean, mutual accomplishment?

He leaned forward close to Miao Yu's face, leaving this peerless beauty momentarily unsure of his intentions.

Then Brother Cheng cupped his hand over his mouth and whispered sneakily, "I'll tell you a secret: actually, I'm very powerful. I can solo carry any instance."

"By moving with me, you won't even need to lift a finger. Just lie back and relax."

"So, actually, I'm the one making a one-sided effort, and it's unreasonable for you to not offer some compensation."

Although Miao Yu didn't quite understand some terms, she grasped the meaning.

She couldn't help but find it both amusing and exasperating.

What's the point of whispering like that?

Everyone here is an Immortal King; do you think lowering your voice means they can't hear?

And you think you can solo carry just because you say so?

Moments ago, you hadn't even heard of the 'Enlightenment Immortal Tree', let alone know what's inside!

Lead with what, huh?

Do you take me for a fool?

There were so many points to complain about that she didn't even know where to start.

She could only suppress the urge to insult and asked back meaningfully.

"You're very powerful?"

When it came to saving money, Brother Cheng's attitude was unprecedentedly serious: "Very powerful! Beyond your imagination!"

"Heh..."

Miao Yu's lips curved slightly, looking amused yet not: "The Enlightenment Immortal Tree can only be accessed by Immortal Kings."

"Don't you know that?"

Alright, fine, you're powerful, but you can't even get in!

Without an Immortal Country, it's impossible to survive inside the Enlightenment Immortal Tree.

You're not even an Immortal King; do you think I don't know?

As soon as she said this, Mingchi, Liuyuan, Wu Jue, and the others' faces all changed.

Indeed, they had just realized this point!

They too were eagerly anticipating the Enlightenment Immortal Tree.

After all, it was almost considered a place for Immortal Kings to change their fates.

Just now, when they heard Sect Leader Jiang talk about solo carrying, they were quite excited.

Being able to hang onto his coattails was truly lucky; staying in the Middle Immortal Realm was the wisest choice.

But thinking about it now, he had slain an Immortal Emperor!

Clearly, his realm wasn't below that of an Immortal Emperor.

And an Immortal Emperor, having merged with the rules and becoming an embodiment of a rule, couldn't enter the Enlightenment Immortal Tree either!

While one side thought he hadn't reached the level of an Immortal King, the other thought he surpassed an Immortal King, but the ultimate conclusion was the same.

The Enlightenment Immortal Tree is a unique opportunity for the likes of Immortal Kings and Demon Kings.

This made Brother Cheng quite embarrassed.

"Only Immortal Kings can enter?"

Want to solo carry but can't even get a chance?

Facing his questioning gaze, Zhan Yan Corpse King nodded: "Sect Leader Jiang, what she said is true."

Realizing they couldn't hang onto his coattails, Mingchi, Liuyuan, Wu Jue, and the others could only sigh again and again.

"What are we going to do about this?"

"Yes, it's such a shame, especially after finally returning to Sect Leader Jiang's side."

"Sigh, if only he could enter, then we wouldn't have to worry about anything."

"Why do you even need to say that?"

Their words left Miao Yu and Ye Yang Immortal King quite surprised.

Judging from what these Immortal Kings said, if he could enter, would he really play a significant role?

Jiang Cheng always talked at a different rhythm, and Miao Yu didn't quite believe him.

But these Immortal Kings were famous for tens of millions of years, some entering the Enlightenment Immortal Tree five million years ago, clearly not people who would speak nonsense.

Could it be that this person truly had some outstanding qualities?

No matter how she looked, she couldn't see it.

"Ah..."

Brother Cheng let out a long sigh; it seemed he'd have to find a way to achieve the Immortal King Realm sooner.

Setting aside that small disappointment, he rallied his spirits and continued negotiating.

"Ahem, even if I can't enter, the eight people around me plus Xiao Kun, Jiyun, those four, a total of 12 people can enter, right?"

Miao Yu nodded: "That's correct."

"So we're cooperating, we're allies, right?"

"Yes."

That indeed made them allies.

"Since we're allies, you still have the nerve to charge me money? Even if it's not free, you should give a discount, right?"

Brother Cheng made his final effort: "I'll take a loss here, let's say 50% off, how about that?"

He wasn't originally so obsessed with price haggling, nor was he not able to afford it.

But having talked about it being free right from the start, with the price unchanged and the other side not budging, left him feeling like he lost face.

No matter what, even a tiny 99.999% discount, even if it just saved one Immortal Crystal, would at least give Brother Cheng some face, wouldn't it?

When you're out and about, face is very important; this is a matter of principle!

Miao Yu shook her head and said calmly, "Sect Leader Jiang, I hope you understand, there has never been a precedent for Immortal Fate Orders to decrease in price since the first round!"

"Then let this time be the precedent!"

Brother Cheng glanced back at the several Immortal Kings behind him, spreading his hands in regret.

"Being so unfeeling towards allies, I can't help but doubt your sincerity in cooperation."

"I can't guarantee that, upon entering, they won't choose to slack off."

Damn, is this a threat?

You can say something like this to someone's face?

Are you even human?

You can't even enter and still want to remote control them or something?

Miao Yu really felt like hitting him.

If she hadn't been through so much and had excellent self-control, she would've probably resorted to cursing.

"Sect Leader Jiang, collaborating like this is meaningless."

Brother Cheng immediately countered.

"I find you Celestial Pavilion quite meaningless; wasn't there no restriction on purchase numbers before? It was you who first used this to block me, and what risk and pressure you bear has nothing to do with me!"

The Immortal Kings present had to admit, he really had a point.

It was actually the Celestial Pavilion that first broke the principle.

After a tug-of-war of back-and-forth negotiations, both sides actually agreed on a price with an 80% discount.

303,621 Immortal Fate Orders, each reduced from 100,000 to 80,000.

Yuan Sheng, Yuan Shu, and the others were dumbfounded.

The Grandfather Master really was formidable; in front of him, even the dignified Celestial Pavilion chose to back down.

The Immortal Fate Order, which hadn't dropped in price for a hundred million years, was slashed by over 6 billion top-grade Immortal Crystals because of him!

"Wishing us a pleasant cooperation!"

The amount of Immortal Crystals saved was a minor matter; the key was that face was restored.

Brother Cheng was in a good mood and extended his right hand with a smile.

Miao Yu had never seen this handshake gesture either, and having been taken advantage of, she wasn't in a pleasant mood at all.

She frowned and gave a half-hearted grip before turning away without saying a word.

Watching her leave, Brother Cheng still unwittingly added a comment from behind.

"Beauty, you'll find out later that this is the wisest decision you've made."

Despite Miao Yu's usually calm demeanor, her fair and delicate hands couldn't help but clench into fists.
