Chapter 855: Brother Wang Ba, One More Time
"It seems like the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple has deep resources, Kuzhu, you old bloke, buying millions worth of Immortal Elixir without batting an eye. I know people from Illusion City, so how about this, next time you want to buy something, let me know, I can help you sort it out, so you won't need to queue up anymore."
Tang Rao secretly introduced some connections to Kuzhu.
Just kidding, Illusion City demands experts of Immortal Emperor level.
Both Ku Song and Kuzhu are Immortal Emperors; Tang Rao's value to them is limited for now.
What if Tang Rao is a Buddha's disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, when he's not needed, he still gets kicked aside.
People can totally deny knowing such a person.
With the convenient route of Illusion City, things are different.
He can act as a broker, gather Immortal Emperor experts for Illusion City, sell some Elixir Pills to earn Immortal Stones, and also make the Immortal Emperors owe Tang Rao a favor.
A three-for-one deal, who wouldn't do it would be a fool.
"Really? Junior Brother, that would be great, I actually want to spend my entire savings to buy Immortal Elixir, but sadly they won't sell to me, claiming it's out of stock. After all, Immortal Elixir is a rare commodity, it's already good if you can buy some. My demands can't be too high, right?"
Speaking of buying Immortal Elixir, Kuzhu was full of grievances.
He's an Immortal Emperor, a grand Immortal Emperor, but inside Illusion City, no matter your status, the sellers don't recognize it.
People can shop there either using their real names or anonymously.
In Illusion City, life and death don't matter.
Shopping queues, trying to cut in line for showoff, are impossible.
Even if the person standing in front of an Immortal Emperor is just a First-Level Earth Immortal, they have to keep their place in line.
So what if you're an Immortal Emperor, outside Illusion City, they don't even have a way to retaliate.
"No big deal, no big deal, but you guys must keep it confidential for me. If people find out I know someone inside, it could be dangerous for me."
Tang Rao said with a look of fear.
Fortunately, Ku Song and Kuzhu aren't the type to be blabbermouths. Tang Rao only wants to gain some influence and make some money from them, without overthinking anything else.
These two are still trustworthy for now.
If it were someone else, Tang Rao wouldn't even partially reveal his identity.
"Of course, we wouldn't reveal such a big thing. You're telling us because you trust us. Junior Brother, well... I heard in a couple of days there's more Immortal Elixir coming out, could you help us secure some?"
Kuzhu handed a space ring to Tang Rao saying, "This is just a small token of appreciation, please don't disdain it, Junior Brother."
Is this the pace of bribing Tang Rao?
An ownerless space ring, Tang Rao took a look, and inside it, there were exactly five million Immortal Stones.
Kuzhu is extravagant.
I just wonder how that old monk Ku Song is doing.
They've both eaten Tang Rao's barbecue and drank beer with him; they shouldn't be too stingy, right?
"I can't accept this, I can't accept this. If you give me the ring, it's like you're looking down on me. I can help, but I cannot take these Immortal Stones."
Tang Rao could earn five million Immortal Stones in minutes.
"Junior Brother, this is also a little gesture from me."
Not liking Immortal Stones, neither Kuzhu nor Ku Song could believe it.
When Ku Song handed a space ring to Tang Rao, Tang Rao's hand shook twice.
A whole ten million Immortal Stones.
Just to curry favor with Tang Rao to buy some Elixir Pills, not even counting the cost of the pills.
Some cultivators, dedicating their entire life, might never earn that much money.
Ku Song and Kuzhu tossing out space rings worth hundreds of millions, such extravagance cannot be matched.
"Since you've both said so, if I don't accept, it's like I'm looking down on you. Isn't that right?"
It's not that I look down on you, I just feel like without accepting the money, my conscience feels a bit guilty.
Ku Song and Kuzhu merely chuckled.
A person who earns Immortal Stones without blinking can't possibly be uninterested in them, unless the Immortal Stones fail to strike Tang Rao's soul.
With fifteen million Immortal Stones, Fang Jinxiu can research a lot of new weapons again.
"By the way, senior brothers, I want to ask you a question."
Ever since the competition ended, Tang Rao always had a Heart Demon.
Ba Wangba easily crushed Tang Rao, and Tang Rao was not convinced.
"Feel free to ask, Junior Brother."
Seeing Tang Rao put away his playful demeanor, Ku Song knew the matter might be serious.
"I want to know if there's a rule in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple saying whether we can privately challenge someone after the official matches are over?"
If it's a challenge, does life or death matter, or is it just a challenge where no deaths can occur?
"Well... there hasn't been such a rule before, so it should be possible to privately challenge."
Kuzhu shook his head, he'd long known that after Tang Rao's defeat, he'd try every way possible to redeem himself.
Ba Wangba defeated Tang Rao once; Tang Rao would definitely challenge him again after rising from Nine-Level Luoxian to First-Level Immortal Monarch.
If once doesn't work, challenge a second time.
Either die in the challenge or continue until victorious.
"That's good, as long as it doesn't violate the rules of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple."
Tang Rao cupped his hands in thanks.
When leaving the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, the first thing Tang Rao did was seek out Ba Wangba.
Aside from Ba Wangba defeating Tang Rao, Ba Wangba was actually quite a good person.
His sixth sense told Tang Rao that this person was worth befriending.
Ba Wangba was dining at the Zuixian Building.
The results of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple competition would take a while longer to come out. Before the results were announced, Ba Wangba couldn't return to the Ba Wang Cave to report.
"Brother Wang Ba, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Tang Rao saw Ba Wangba in the hall, eating and drinking with fellow disciples.
Tang Rao had specifically come to find Ba Wangba but acted like it was a chance encounter, with quite a performance.
"What a coincidence. Brother Tang Rao, is your face healed already?"
Ba Wangba's words felt like a sharp knife stabbing Tang Rao in the chest.
Is my face healed or not?
The day you hit my face, today I want to hit yours back.
I want to puff up your face and not sell you Immortal Elixirs, so you embarrass yourself in the Land of Immortals.
"It's all healed thanks to getting an Immortal Elixir from Illusion City, once I took it, I healed instantly."
No matter how unhappy he was, he had to smile while talking to Ba Wangba.
The advertisement for Illusion City, he needed to push that fast.
Then, he was going to start making big money.
Use force to hit Ba Wangba and also execute economic sanctions on him.
During his days on Blue Star, Tang Rao had become quite crafty.
"I wonder why Brother Tang Rao is looking for me? Want to spar again?"
Ba Wangba really didn't want to spar with Tang Rao, from the view of a Fourth-Level Immortal Monarch, a Nine-level Luoxian was nothing, even as a First-Level Immortal Monarch, Tang Rao was still vulnerable against a Fourth-Level Immortal Monarch.
"Well... Brother Wang Ba, you guessed it right, I didn't get enough of a challenge last time when I was seriously injured, so today I specifically came to seek a spar with you again."
Tang Rao said with a flattering smile.
