Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 736 - : Bestowing Kindness

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Bestowing Kindness

“Forget it.”

Although Wang Xinchen was very surprised by Wang Chen’s polite refusal, he did not become angry with embarrassment.

The elder butler of the Wang Family said, “Then let’s talk about another matter.”

He paused, then raised three fingers, “Three hundred, I am here on behalf of the Wang Family to place an order for three hundred refrigerators, all of the best quality.”

“Ah?”

...

Wang Chen had braced himself for Wang Xinchen to turn hostile on the spot, but he had not expected Wang Xinchen not only to remain unangry but also to present him with a significant piece of business.

Seeing Wang Chen’s change in expression, Wang Xinchen smiled and said, “What? Don’t want to do business?”

“Not at all.”

Wang Chen shook his head and spoke frankly, “Butler Wang, may I ask why?”

It wasn’t just about three hundred refrigerators—even if it were three thousand or thirty thousand, he now had the capability to fulfill the orders.

It was merely a matter of time.

However, Wang Chen didn’t want to violate his principles just for the sake of this deal!

“For the Wang Family, three hundred refrigerators is not a large number.”

Wang Xinchen answered proudly, “But if we were to order from another family, wouldn’t that be slapping our own faces?”

Wang Chen gave a wry smile, “But I am not a disciple of the Wang Family.”

Wang Xinchen said, “I told you, you can’t write the character ‘Wang’ in two different ways. We can’t control what others do, but our Wang Family won’t kick a family member when they are down!”

Just then, Su Ziling brought up the freshly brewed Spiritual Tea.

Wang Xinchen took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then placed a Storage Bag on the table, “This is the deposit. Come pick up the goods before the seventh of next month, Pearl White, Moonlight Silver, Dawn Gold…”

“One hundred of each color.”

As he said this, Wang Xinchen looked deeply at Wang Chen.

Although Wang Chen’s cultivation level and background were not impressive, his business acumen was undeniable, and he possessed the potential of a Great Refiner.

In fact, the Wang Family had already purchased one refrigerator, which they had given to the craftsmen in the family workshop to disassemble and analyze.

The refrigerator had no significant technical content, but Wang Chen’s exquisite artifact-refining skills, as well as the commercial ideas inherent in the product, impressed Wang Xinchen’s lord.

That was the reason for his visit today.

Wang Chen’s previous fears about a confrontation were unfounded; the Wang Family was not foolish enough to deliberately suppress such talented individuals, especially those with the same family name of cultivators.

There is actually an old tale about this.

Seven hundred years ago, a genius emerged from a side branch of the Xiao Clan of the Three Ridge in the Thousand Star Immortal City. Because he was proud of his talent and offended the main lineage disciples, he suffered oppression and bullying.

However, this Xiao genius possessed an incredibly strong fate and survived numerous dangers and crises, eventually joining the enemies of the Xiao Clan.

In less than a decade, the genius had grown to a stature others could only look up to and had been taken as a personal disciple by an Integration True Venerable.

The Three Ridge Xiao Clan was in great misfortune, rapidly declining until they knelt before the genius and handed over the main authority of the clan to avoid complete downfall.

The once Three Ridge Xiao Clan is now the First Ridge Xiao Clan, with a reputation far surpassing that of the Wang Family.

This story is known to everyone in the Thousand Star Immortal City, even turned into a tale circulated throughout the Immortal Alliance.

Many families in the Thousand Star Immortal City take it as a word of caution!

Of course, Wang Chen cannot be compared to the Xiao genius of the past, but who can guarantee he won’t rise to great heights in the future?

Wang Xinchen’s behavior is perfectly normal.

He came to bestow a favor, not to create enemies!

So even though his most important purpose was not achieved, Wang Xinchen remained very polite to Wang Chen.

After drinking the Spiritual Tea, he then took his leave.

Wang Chen saw the visitor out of the gate, watching Wang Xinchen’s figure disappear at the street corner before returning to the room.

Su Ziling asked curiously, “Why did he come to us to buy a refrigerator?”

She had overheard some of the conversation between Wang Chen and Wang Xinchen but didn’t catch everything clearly.

“Isn’t it good to have business?”

Wang Chen ruffled the girl’s hair. “We just take the order. Don’t ask too many questions.”

Su Ziling puffed up her cheeks and playfully bit at Wang Chen’s hand with a “grr.”

Wang Chen laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied.

In the following days, he first handled the Wang Family’s orders, purchasing the refrigerator bodies from a few workshops and then crafting the Frost Artifact components himself to assemble them.

He finished the task over ten days ahead of the agreed-upon time.

This was undoubtedly the last refrigerator order. Once he completed all of them, Wang Chen settled his mind to contemplate his next move.

He had previously inquired at Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the Four Seas Commerce Association.

The two Condensing Core Treasures Wang Chen currently lacked, Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng and Ten-Thousand-Year Star Sand, still had no leads.

The Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng was somewhat manageable. Hu Jiaojiao of Green Hill had promised to find it for him as compensation for sparing the ginseng child.

But she had yet to send any news, prompting Wang Chen to consider alternative plans.

He couldn’t just wait indefinitely without Solidifying his Pill, could he?

Actually, both Myriad Treasures Pavilion and Four Seas Commerce Association had ginseng with four and five leaves for sale, which were entirely acceptable for condensing the pill.

Yet Wang Chen, aiming for a high-quality Golden Core and having already spent a vast amount of Spirit Stones, could not tolerate such imperfections, which is why he didn’t make the purchase.

The situation with Ten-Thousand-Year Star Sand was even more complex.

This rare natural treasure was sold by the grain, exceedingly expensive and highly sought after, often spoken for before even being placed on the display counter.

Wang Chen had considered preordering it, but there were many people in need of Ten-Thousand-Year Star Sand.

He had no competitive edge against them!

The only solution was to pour in more Spirit Stones.

As long as he invested a sufficient amount, acquiring the necessary quantity of Ten-Thousand-Year Star Sand would not be an issue.

Ultimately, it came down to his lack of funds!

He needed to earn more money.

But plans can never keep up with changes. Just as Wang Chen was lost in thought over his new “invention,” the Message Talisman he always carried on his person suddenly self-ignited into ashes.

At the same time, a message emerged in his mind.

It was Hu Jiaojiao who was transmitting the message through this Wanli Talisman!

First, this Fox Monster of Green Hill conveyed her apologies to Wang Chen because she had been in seclusion for the past few years, focusing on Solidifying her Pill, and since this was the only Talisman she had sent to Wang Chen, that’s why there had been no contact.

Now that Hu Jiaojiao had finished her seclusion and had news about the Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng, she reached out to Wang Chen.

For certain reasons, she was unable to deliver the Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng to Wang Chen personally and needed him to make a trip to Green Hill himself!

At the end of the message, Hu Jiaojiao provided the instructions for traveling to Green Hill.

This development was certainly not what Wang Chen had expected.

However, after much deliberation, he could not think of any reason Hu Jiaojiao would harm him, so he decided to make the journey to Green Hill.

After all, the Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng was crucial for Condensing the Core, and he couldn’t afford any carelessness!

Thus, Wang Chen left the management of the shop to Su Ziling and quietly left Thousand Star Immortal City.
