My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 800 Rejection
Half a day later,
Shen Changchuan's figure transformed into a streak of light, swiftly sweeping across the sky.

Wanbaoge

Shen Changchuan gazed at the azure sky ahead, recalling his conversation with the branch master of Wanbaoge, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The branch master named Ziyan truly harbored no ill will towards me, nor did she harbor any schemes.

He could sense that the other person wasn't lying or trying to hide anything.
The reason they summoned me was simply because my growth experience was somewhat extraordinary, and I could produce a large sum of high-grade spirit stones at once. They felt that I might achieve something in the future, so they wanted to make friends with me in advance and establish good relationships.

There's nothing difficult to understand about this.

Even in the mortal world, business people will more or less befriend those who have potential.

If the other party becomes successful in the future, even if that relationship doesn't help you much, it will still be a valuable connection.

but,

Shen Changchuan didn't have much expectation of how much the branch master named Ziyan thought highly of him.

Don't be fooled by how sweet their words may sound.

But in fact,

Even if someone thinks highly of you, your level of importance to them is only limited to getting to know them beforehand, exchanging ideas, and making an impression.

For this,

Shen Changchuan had a clear and definite understanding.

"Sigh, if they really thought highly of me, then investing in ten or eight Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pills wouldn't be a difficult task, would it?"

"But there are no benefits to this line of work. The only thing is that although my performance is outstanding, it's not enough to convince someone with such a powerful background from Zhongzhou to invest real money."

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

I am very clear about this.

They were just saying it; if you take it seriously, then it's your fault.

of course,

Although that branch pavilion master didn't invest any real money in himself.

But no matter what,
The other party did indeed take advantage of their power to obtain the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill ahead of time.

Shen Changchuan will never forget this kindness.

and,

"Having this casual acquaintance is actually not bad."

"As a large cross-continental merchant guild connecting the Central Plains, it has access to a considerable number of rare and precious materials. Given its acquaintance with the branch pavilion master, it can also entrust him to keep an eye out for things like the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill, which can help one comprehend the true meaning of cultivation."

"Although the Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill is good, it eventually develops into a drug resistance, and the more you take it, the less effective it becomes."

"If we could obtain other items that could assist in cultivating true essence, that would be the best!"

Shen Changchuan understood.

The general position of that branch manager of Wanbaoge has also been clearly defined.

"What a pity! If I could go to the Central Continent's cultivation world, my chances of comprehending even a tenth of the true meaning would be far greater than in this Southern Domain!"

"After all, as the center of the entire cultivation world, Zhongzhou itself is a place where spiritual energy gathers. It is the essence of the cultivation world. Moreover, I have heard that even a random piece of land can be cultivated into a spiritual field. The wealth of this place is simply unimaginable."

"In such an environment, the rare treasures of heaven and earth that can aid in comprehending the true meaning would certainly not be as scarce as in the Southern Region."

Recalling his earlier chat with the branch master of Ziyan about the situation related to the cultivation world in Zhongzhou, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Actually, during that previous casual chat,

The other party did not completely conceal any hints in their words that they could invest in them.

In doing so, he also subtly revealed a lot about the prosperity of the cultivation world in Zhongzhou.

The fact that something like the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill can be openly sold in Zhongzhou suggests that such treasures, which can aid in comprehending true meaning, are still quite valuable.

However, it is basically something that can be purchased as long as you have spirit stones.

If one were to reach the Central Plains cultivation world, there would certainly be more opportunities.

just,

When the other party also implied that the condition for receiving their investment and being able to arrange for me to go to the Central Plains cultivation world was signing a contract with Wanbaoge for more than one hundred years,
Shen Changchuan pretended not to have understood the other party's implied meaning.

Signing a contract of servitude is impossible; I would never sign one in my entire life.

Actually,
As long as he advances to the Divine Travel Realm...
Then he can begin to cultivate the inheritance of the Lord of Reincarnation, and use the inheritance of the Lord of Reincarnation to create a part of his spirit to be reborn in other worlds.

Compared to this kind of inheritance that can reach straight to the heavens,

What do a few conveniences that allow one to travel to Zhongzhou matter?
In the Southern Domain, the path to further advancement within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect has not been completely severed.

Shen Changchuan didn't think he needed to pay such a high price.

Or perhaps it was Shen Changchuan's rejection.

This displeased the Purple Smoke Pavilion Master, so he left empty-handed, without receiving any investment.

However, regarding this,

Shen Changchuan wasn't disappointed.

Regardless, both sides maintained a facade of harmony upon leaving.
Shen Changchuan didn't believe that the other party would turn down a profitable business because of that little bit of resentment.
And then again...

Within the entire Southern Domain, Wanbaoge is not the only company capable of traveling to and from the Central Continent's cultivation world; at worst, they can simply find another merchant guild to cooperate with.

"However, regardless of whether we continue our cooperation, the most crucial thing right now is still spirit stones!"

Thinking of this, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but show a wry smile.

The six Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pills had already emptied his 30,000 high-grade spirit stones.

You should know that this large sum of money was given to him by his older brother, Shen Chong, back then.

Before receiving the gift from Shen Chong,

Shen Changchuan's wealth did not even exceed five thousand high-grade spirit stones!
This is a huge fortune that he still finds difficult to accumulate even now!

However, the rare and precious materials that are related to the true meaning are all extremely expensive, and when they are transported from the Central Continent cultivation world, the price becomes even higher!

Now, Shen Changchuan, having exhausted the goodwill of his adopted brother Shen Chong,

He couldn't even gather enough spirit stones to make up the price of a single Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill!
The income of Dawancun is a drop in the bucket.

The Longxiao Sect's contribution was negligible.

The Immortal Sect members themselves are not formal Immortal Sect disciples, nor are they qualified to receive the Immortal Sect's salary or to obtain contribution points through the Immortal Sect's mission contribution system to exchange for high-grade spirit stones.

It can be said,
After exhausting all the spirit stones in his pocket, Shen Changchuan is now penniless and will remain so for some time to come!
"It seems I have gained another reason to go to the Southern Yue region!"

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.
