Mainly Because It Pained Me Not to Take Advantage of a Bargain

The discovery of an Immortal Emperor's Tomb in the Xiang Ze Great Domain the South Immortal Realm has attracted the attention of countless powerful figures.

All the great talents have come to Qing Province Ancient City, because the Immortal Emperor's Tomb is located near this ancient city.

The ancient city of Qing Province is very close to the North Immortal Realm, and the immortal energy is thin, so there would not normally be many cultivators gathering here.

However, with the appearance of this Immortal Emperor's Tomb, countless powerful figures have gathered.

There are even rumors that an Immortal King personally went to the Immortal Emperor's Tomb to observe it.

However, most of the prodigies gathered in the ancient city of Qing Province, waiting for a signal from their sects. They were prodigies, very young, and could not risk their lives. Generally speaking, the sect elders would take the lead.

Because many secret realms have set realms, in the immortal realm, many powerful people who have fallen will build great tombs, which will evolve into a place of creation, but they do not want their inheritance to be taken away by others.

Therefore, cultivators of high cultivation levels are generally not allowed to enter. Instead, the prodigies are allowed to fight each other, and whoever comes last will inherit the ultimate technique.

Of course, some powerful individuals would rather die than reveal their inheritance. Therefore, in the end, they may face an unparalleled Slaughter Array and die without a burial place.

Nobody can say for sure.

Right now.

Qing Province Ancient City.

There was no passageway for the gods within the ancient city; there was only one passageway. This was because the ancient city was not famous, and let alone gods or the Celestial Being Race, they would not come here.

Therefore, setting up a passage for the Celestial Being Race would be meaningless.

Of course, due to the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, a large number of geniuses poured into Qing Province Ancient City. The city lord of Qing Province Ancient City was not stupid and directly ordered someone to forcibly open a special passage.

With 10,000 immortal stones, you can enter the city directly without having to queue.

Outside the ancient city.

Lu Changsheng and Tianji Zi have arrived. They traveled overnight and it took them two days to get here.

For cross-domain requests, this is already considered fast.

Seeing the long queue, Lu Changsheng went straight through the special passage without any hesitation.

He had some immortal stones. The Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect compensated the Great Shu Sect with one million high-grade immortal stones, and he took a portion of them. One high-grade immortal stone was worth ten thousand low-grade immortal stones, Lu Changsheng took one hundred thousand.

Consider it as travel expenses.

After tossing out two high-grade immortal stones, Lu Changsheng and Tianji Zi entered the ancient city without any hindrance.

As soon as you cross the passage, you'll hear a cacophony of shouts and calls.

"Immortal, would you like to see a fox demon performance? It's absolutely thrilling and exciting, I guarantee you'll want to come back again and again, and you can even interact with it up close."

"Immortal, Immortal, don't listen to his nonsense. What bullshit fox demon performance? They're just some old women who are hundreds of years old. Our restaurant has young fairies performing. That performance, oh my god, I guarantee that once you see it, you won't want to leave."

"Immortal, would you like to try some of the special delicacies of our ancient city of Qing Province: Flood Dragon Meat and Earth Phoenix Marrow? They taste absolutely delicious."

At the exit of the special passage, a group of monks gathered, soliciting customers.

Those who can afford to spend 10,000 immortal stones to use a special passage are naturally wealthy. The cultivators of Qing Province Ancient City are not fools either; they will try to recruit as many as they can. Such high-quality guests are willing to spend lavishly, so the competition is naturally fierce.

"A fox spirit performance? A young fairy? You're not trying to fool this old man, are you?"

Tianji Zi spoke with a tone full of doubt.

"Oh dear, my esteemed immortal, how could I dare to deceive you? If you are not satisfied, we will not charge you a single penny."

"Yes, yes, she is absolutely a stunning beauty, and she also has unique skills. Immortal, you definitely shouldn't miss her, because once you miss her, you'll never have another chance."

The other party was extremely excited, and now Tianji Zi was somewhat tempted.

Lu Changsheng sighed and casually looked at a relatively honest cultivator.

"Just take me to a quiet restaurant."

What kind of fox demon performance is this? What kind of fairy performance is this? Is it even interesting? It's just a bait and switch. Lu Changsheng is well aware of this kind of trick. Even if it were real, it would probably be forcibly stopped if anything happened.

It's like when he was with Si Kong Nanqin, he was just one step away from ascending to immortality, but he was abruptly interrupted. This kind of plot is extremely boring.

"Me? Alright, alright, Immortal, please come with me. I'll take you to a quiet and classy restaurant. Please come with me."

The latter was taken aback when Lu Changsheng chose him, but quickly became very excited and led the way.

Just then, a commotion broke out.

"Who are you? Why don't you hand over the immortal stones?"

The sound rang out from behind.

This has attracted a lot of attention.

At the back of the passage, an old man looked somewhat nervous. He was blocked by several guards who were angrily rebuking him.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know that taking this passage would cost immortal stones. I'll go back now."

The old man was somewhat embarrassed, gave an awkward laugh, and explained in this way.

"You think you can just leave without knowing? You've already left, it's not over yet. Pay up."

The guard's voice rang out, filled with anger.

"These 10,000 immortal stones are far too much. I'll head back now. I hope you'll be lenient and understand."

The old man was very humble. He was an Earth Immortal cultivator, but in the Immortal Realm, Earth Immortals were nothing more than slightly stronger ants, and were indeed nothing special.

"You think you can just forgive me like that? The rules are right here. I'm giving you two choices: pay the immortal stones or accept the punishment. You have to choose one."

The guards were extremely rude. You couldn't say they were heartless, after all, rules are rules; they were just a bit vicious.

However, at that moment, a voice slowly rang out.

"It's just ten thousand immortal stones, why be so aggressive? I, Li Shanshi pay for it."

The sound rang out, and soon a fat man slowly walked out of the passage.

This fat man was quite handsome, with a round face that gave him an air of kindness and generosity.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, this person is quite extraordinary.

Wearing a purple robe, a Celestial Venerable-level Law Treasure, and a Celestial Venerable-level Law Treasure on each of his ten fingers, and at the very least a pair of low-grade Celestial Venerable boots, he exuded luxury from head to toe.

However, his cultivation level is somewhat lacking, only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. This might be acceptable in some small places, but in a place where geniuses gather like this, he would only be considered extremely ordinary, or even a bit trash.

Surprisingly, he was surrounded by seven or eight maids. Although their cultivation levels were not high, the people following Li Shanshi were the core of the group.

Li Shanshi was followed by ten people, each wearing a bamboo hat, obscuring their faces, but Lu Changsheng immediately sensed their strength.

The weakest is at the mid-stage of Immortal Venerable, and the two strongest are at the Great Perfection of Immortal Venerable.

However, Lu Changsheng soon sensed an even stronger aura.

Immortal Saint!

That's right, it's a Celestial Saint. Although he's only at the early stage of Celestial Saint, to have a Celestial Saint as a bodyguard is something that's hard to describe.

That's quite a show of style!

"Li Shanshi? He is Li Shanshi?"

"Li Shanshi, the Wealth-Scattering Immortal?"

"Wow, Li Shanshi is actually here? I might be about to make it big."

"Holy crap, this Wealth-Scattering Immortal actually came to our ancient city of Qing Province?"

In an instant, a series of voices rang out, and Li Shanshi's appearance caused quite a stir.

Tianji Zi was full of curiosity, so he took out a copper coin to perform divination. After seeing the hexagram, his expression changed.

"Chang Sheng, this Li Shanshi is probably a rich man."

Tianji Zi said, utterly shocked.

Lu Changsheng: ""

Given all this, do you still need to tell me he's a rich man?

For some inexplicable reason, Lu Changsheng felt that this Tianji Zi was somewhat insulting to the divination and fortune-telling industry; he was simply a disgrace to the profession.

"Who is this Li Shanshi?"

"I've never heard of this Li Shanshi before. Don't just be surprised, tell me about him."

Although some people recognized Li Shanshi, most cultivators did not, so they couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Don't you even recognize Li Shanshi?"

"Li Shanshi is the head of Wanfulou, one of the three major merchant guilds in the Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion. He is known as the one who possesses ten dou of wealth in the world. Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion alone has three dou of wealth in the Immortal Realm. To put it simply, anything we have, whether it is Law Treasure or an immortal stone, may be related to the Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion in some way."

"This Li Shanshi is Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion, the only son of Wan Fugui. He was spoiled rotten. From birth, he was called the Immortal Key. Unfortunately, for some reason, his mother died after giving birth to him and also suffered a miscarriage, which caused him to be born with congenital deficiencies."

"Yes, yes, I've heard this rumor. It's said that Wan Fugui offended someone he shouldn't have, and in doing so, he plotted against his wife. You know, for Li Shanshi's sake, even before Li Shanshi was born, Wan Fugui invited the Ten Great Holy Lands and the most powerful Buddhist monks to chant sutras for him."

"Unfortunately, he was ambushed and his pregnancy was affected. He was born with congenital deficiencies and should not have survived at all. It was Wan Fugui who spent a fortune to buy a damaged Immortal Emperor Medicine, which saved Li Shanshi's life. Otherwise, he would have died long ago."

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, leaving many people speechless.

"Wait a minute, his name is Li Shanshi, and his father's name is Wan Fugui. Shouldn't his name be Wan Shanshi?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask this question.

"Are you stupid? His father's surname is Wan, but his mother's surname is Li. This is because his father did this in memory of his mother. He's a very devoted lover."

Someone revealed the reason, which made everyone suddenly realize the truth.

"In short, this Li Shanshi was born with a key to immortality. In order to prolong his life, his father bought a damaged Immortal Emperor Medicine and then used an Immortal Saint Medicine every year to forcibly clear his meridians and restore his innate nature. Otherwise, he would not live past fifty."

"Impossible! He's already at the Earth Immortal Realm, how could he not live past fifty? You're just making this up."

"Cultivation realm is one thing, but what necessary relationship does lifespan have with cultivation realm? He was born with a deficiency, and only the Immortal King Medicine can prolong his life. Moreover, the effects of the Immortal King Medicine will become weaker and weaker with each continuous use. However, the Immortal Emperor Medicine. Unfortunately, the Immortal Emperor Medicine is extremely rare, and even if it exists, with so many powerful forces in the world, who wouldn't be envious and let Wan Fugui give it to his son?"

"So he was destined not to live long."

People were talking about it, digging up almost everything about Li Shanshi. Sure enough, wherever there are people, there's gossip to be had.

"Wait a minute, what does all this have to do with me? Why are you saying we're going to get rich?"

"Yes, yes, why do you say you've made a fortune?"

"Whether he lives or dies is none of my business. Tell me how you're going to make a fortune!"

The crowd was talking. Some people were curious about how Li Shanshi's appearance could be associated with getting rich, while others were venomous and thought he was a dirty person. But this is just the way of the world.

There are good people and bad people, generous people and selfish people.

"You don't understand. This Li Shanshi is famous for his generosity. Perhaps it's because he's so rich that he doesn't know how important money is. As long as he's in a good mood, he'll casually give away immortal stones and magic Law Treasure. As long as you make him happy, I guarantee you'll rise to prominence."

"There was once a newly ascended cultivator who was just trying to amuse him. Do you know what he did? He directly threw more than a dozen Immortal Venerable Law Treasure at him. He was incredibly extravagant."

"In short, stop talking and go lick it!"

They discussed why Li Shanshi was so famous.

Sure enough, at that very moment, Li Shanshi had already stepped out of the passage.

In an instant, the surrounding cultivators who were there to greet the guests swarmed over, shouting and yelling in all sorts of ways.

"Immortal, Immortal, would you like to come to my restaurant? I guarantee I'll serve you to your heart's content. You don't like women, how about me?"

"Immortal, I have never seen anyone as handsome as you in my entire life. Heavens, can I take another look?"

"Hiss! Immortal!"

"What do you mean, 'I lost'?"

"Father, I am your long-lost son."

"Good Deeds Immortal, I am in so much pain. My father died three years before I was born, and my mother passed away right after giving birth to me. Please, have pity on me."

The monks flocked to the scene.

The last cultivator, in particular, was the one who had just said, "Whether I live or die is none of my business," and he cried and wailed to gain sympathy.

Lu Changsheng saw all of this.

He showed no reaction.

However, Tianji Zi did some calculations and then wanted to go over and say, "Fellow Daoist, you have an ominous sign."

However, Lu Changsheng sensed Tianji Zi's thoughts and immediately stopped Tianji Zi.

He didn't want to lose face like that.

Unfortunately, the guide also knelt on the ground, begging Li Shanshi for alms.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng shook his head and continued forward.

Tianji Zi glanced at it with a hint of regret.

"Chang Sheng, this guy looks like a sucker, shouldn't we rip him off?"

Tianji Zi transmitted his thoughts through Divine Sense.

He was really unwilling to accept it.

"Senior Tianji, it's just a little bit of immortal stone. If you need it, I'll give it to you."

Lu Changsheng was helpless.

However, Tianji Zi shook his head and said...

"It's not about the magic stones, it's just that I feel uncomfortable not taking advantage of a good deal."

Tianji Zi said with great distress.

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

He didn't know how to answer.

Because it sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

But just then...

A voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist! Halt!"

It was Li Shanshi's voice. (Holmium)
