Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 552: Then Pay the Bill
If it weren’t for the strong wave emitted by that Immortal Medicine just now, Brother Cheng probably would’ve just flown over in a blink.
He was originally planning to visit the boss of the Southern Celestial Realm of the Immortal Realm, the Biluo Heart Palace.
Unexpectedly, he spotted Li Junlang, which was why he came down to say hi.
"Ah, it’s Elder Jiang!"
Li Junlang saw him and immediately approached with delight.
Zhu Qinglian was also so frightened and quickly greeted him.
"Greetings, Elder!"
The other three disciples were still puzzled, wondering who this person might be.
Zhu Qinglian quickly sent a secret message: "This is the esteemed Elder Jiang Junsuai, quickly pay your respects!"
They didn’t know yet that this was the recently famous Jiexin Jiang Cheng in the Six Realms.
After all, the name they knew was Jiang Junsuai...
Realizing that this was the kind-hearted elder who had flown Li and Zhu around last time, the three disciples’ eyes lit up, and they hurried up to pay their respects.
"Good, good, good!"
Seeing a couple of familiar faces in this strange Immortal Realm, Brother Cheng was in a good mood.
"What’s up with you guys, did you discover a treasure?"
"Yes, Elder, this is the Sea Ghost Marrow Leaf that our Four Seas Sect has guarded for 450,000 years to mature."
In front of him, Li Junlang held nothing back.
"Not bad, not bad..."
Brother Cheng said it was good, but in his heart, he was secretly ridiculing.
This thing is just an ordinary material for alchemy, does it really need to be guarded for hundreds of thousands of years?
At this moment, the silver-crowned young man on the opposite side was unhappy.
What’s going on, suddenly entering reminiscence mode and ignoring us?
Who is this newcomer, what’s his background?
He couldn’t make out his realm, guessing that at most he was a Second-Grade Immortal King like Long Sea Immortal King, and clearly, the Xiling Family wouldn’t fear him.
"Seems you’re not planning to hand it over."
"Fine!"
He pointed at Li Junlang and Zhu Qinglian and smiled meaningfully.
"In a few days, you’ll be begging us to take it!"
He wasn’t stupid; he knew that with the opposition’s might in intelligence, he couldn’t win by force.
He was preparing to go back and get reinforcements.
"Let’s go!"
Sect Leader Jiang originally thought these people were also friends of Li Junlang, but their tone didn’t sound like it.
"What’s going on?"
Before Li Junlang could speak, Zhu Qinglian quickly explained the whole situation truthfully.
Finally, she made a small request full of hope.
"Elder, could you help us negotiate with the Xiling Family..."
Bringing back that Immortal Medicine was simple, but the key was being targeted by the Xiling Family, and they feared retaliation afterward.
This Elder Jiang could kill several Quasi-Emperors, and his power was very likely at the level of an Immortal Emperor.
With him to deter the Xiling Family, they could avoid future worries.
Brother Cheng laughed when he heard this: "Helping others is one of my fine qualities, no problem!"
Li Junlang was overjoyed and full of praise: "Elder Jiang is truly a model of warm-heartedness!"
Zhu Qinglian and the other disciples were also relieved.
"Where is the Xiling Family located again?"
The silver-crowned young man was long gone, but Zhu Qinglian knew the location.
Brother Cheng didn’t want to waste time; with a flicker, he directly brought the group to the Xiling Family in Changhe Prefecture.
To several guard immortals at the gate, he said, "Tell your patriarch, I’m here to deliver a treasure!"
Li Junlang and Zhu Qinglian looked at each other in disbelief.
Deliver a treasure?
Weren’t we here to clear things up?
The guard immortals at the gate saw that these visitors’ cultivation was unfathomable, at least above an Immortal King, so they dared not neglect and quickly went inside to call people.
Soon, several Immortal Kings rushed out.
The patriarch of the Xiling Family was an Eighth-Grade Immortal King; probing Brother Cheng’s realm almost gave him a fright.
He couldn’t even gauge the other’s depth.
This meant two possibilities: either the other was a Quasi-Emperor, or he was using an Immortal Treasure to conceal his cultivation.
"And you are?"
The name Jiang Cheng was famous in the Six Realms, but his appearance wasn’t so widely known.
They didn’t recognize him either.
Brother Cheng smiled and laid out the Immortal Medicine.
"I am Jiang Junsuai, your son just bought a Sea Ghost Marrow Leaf from me."
"Here, I’m quicker, so I brought it to you ahead of time."
Son?
The patriarch of the Xiling Family’s eyes gleamed at the sight of the Immortal Medicine, but a hint of suspicion arose inside.
He had only one son, the silver-crowned young man.
According to his grooming and understanding of this son, with treasures like these, he would either cunningly take it or deceive it, not straightforwardly buy it.
However, since the treasure had been delivered right to his door, he had no reason not to accept it.
This was an extremely rare treasure, capable of refining Eighth-grade Immortal Pills.
Several elders nearby showed greedy expressions, holding and praising the Immortal Medicine.
Li Junlang and the disciples were anxious.
What was going on?
They expected the elder to help negotiate, but he up and gave away the Immortal Medicine?
"Elder, this..."
Yet Brother Cheng gestured to halt, then smilingly rubbed his fingers in front of the Xiling Family patriarch.
"This Immortal Medicine is quite excellent, isn’t it?"
"Indeed, indeed!"
"Priceless, isn’t it?"
"It certainly is..."
"Then pay up!"
"Huh, huh?"
The patriarch and several elders of the Xiling Family froze with their smiles.
They looked at Brother Cheng in bewilderment, almost unable to react.
"Pay up?"
"That’s right, your son bought on credit, hasn’t paid yet."
The patriarch’s face turned unsightly.
"How much do you want?"
If Brother Cheng weren’t a Quasi-Emperor, he probably would have cursed aloud.
"Not much..."
Sect Leader Jiang curled his lips: "This Immortal Medicine is a priceless treasure. I originally didn’t want to sell it, but your son liked it so much."
"Considering his earnest pleading, I reluctantly decided to lower the price."
"Ultimately, let’s settle for all the assets and resources of your Xiling Family as the price."
"I’m quite reasonable; there’s no need for any additional payments."
Lip-locked, Li Junlang and the three disciples were astonished.
They initially thought this Elder Jiang was genuinely giving it away.
Now, hearing this, it’s robbery at its finest!
Indeed, the Immortal Medicine was valuable, but at most equivalent to three Seventh-grade Immortal Pills, far less than a Tier Seven Immortal Artifact.
Yet, all assets and resources of the Xiling Family, when converted into Tier Seven Immortal Artifacts, would easily be dozens.
However, Zhu Qinglian was now pretty calm.
She knew this Elder Jiang’s past actions, understanding his style.
Despite Brother Cheng being a Quasi-Emperor, the Xiling Family patriarch’s expression quickly darkened.
"Are you making fun of us?"
"You don’t want to pay?"
"Pay for what, you gave us nothing, why should we pay?"
The Xiling Family patriarch relaxedly shrugged.
As for the Immortal Medicine that had been passed to those elders, it had already vanished.
"What Immortal Medicine?"
"Yes, we have no idea what you’re talking about."
The expressions of those elders also turned cold, signaling for them to leave.
