Their commission was suspicious.

However, there was simply too much treasure in Jill's Gate of Babylon to carry it all away in a short time.
"Alright, I need to get back to work now." Chen Luo picked up the little fox that was lying on his lap, put it aside, and then stood up.
"Work? What kind of work?" Xiao Shi was taken aback.
It's only a little past 4 o'clock, not the time when bars should be open.
Moreover, they had just returned from a previous civilization, so they certainly wouldn't have gone to a previous civilization.
What other jobs could Chen Luo do besides these?
“Of course it’s the River God’s job.” Chen Luo said as he wrapped the lower half of his face with bandages and then put on a mask.
The bandage was the same type that Chen Luo had wrapped around his arm, and it could be used to prevent detection.
The mask was just an ordinary mask.
"What are you doing like this?" The Herald of Knowledge asked curiously, looking at Chen Luo's fully armed appearance.
"Of course we're going to go big. Do you want to come along and watch?" Chen Luo asked.
"Of course." The Herald of Knowledge nodded, then entered Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.
The Lawbringer was genuinely curious about what kind of trouble Chen Luo would cause.
After confirming that Chen Luo was seated firmly, Chen Luo closed his eyes and then disappeared from the spot.
……
"Young immortal, did you drop this golden flying sword, this silver flying sword, or this ordinary flying sword?" Chen Luo suddenly emerged from the river and asked a man in white robes standing on the riverbank.
"Holy crap, I've seen a ghost!" The man was so frightened when he saw a strange, golden creature that he couldn't make out in the river suddenly emerge from the water that he took several steps back.
"This...this is the Milky Way and the Weak Water! How did you manage to stand there so calmly?" This was the most surprising thing for the person standing on the riverbank.
"It's not a ghost, it's a river god," Chen Luo corrected.
"So which flying sword is yours?"
"They're all mine!" The young man said directly upon seeing the immortal sword in Chen Luo's hand, which possessed an even stronger aura than any other immortal sword.
Since the other party asked, it means they don't know which of the immortal swords belongs to them.
Since that's the case, then... I want them all!
"...Greedy and foolish immortals, accept my punishment!" Seeing that the other party had actually chosen an option that no one else would normally choose, Chen Luo excitedly clenched his fist.
Come to life!
Chapter 732 The Milky Way is also a river.
How do you beat someone up?
Tie the other person up with a rope so they can't resist, then punch them.
How do you beat up an immortal?
Using the power of the Herrscher of Restraint, the flow of spiritual energy is restricted within a certain range, turning it into a mortal. It is then bound with ropes, rendering it unable to resist, and finally met with a beating.
Although the immortal being being beaten by Chen Luo was not an immortal, the process was the same.
Although Chen Luo was unfamiliar with immortal power, he was very familiar with spiritual power. And the other party happened to be a cultivator in the immortal realm, but not an immortal, making it a perfect match for him.
"Help! Stop hitting me! Is anyone there? Help!" The greedy and ignorant cultivator, being pinned to the ground and beaten by Chen Luo, was wailing in pain.
Although the cultivator had a strange feeling that he hadn't suffered any serious injuries, it really hurt.
"Phew..." Chen Luo didn't go too far. Although the other party had been very greedy and wanted to take everything, Chen Luo only beat him up for a short while before letting him go.
"What kind of monster are you?" The cultivator, who had been severely beaten, took several steps back after Chen Luo released him and asked, covering his face.
"What kind of magic did you use? It can actually imprison my spiritual power!" The cultivator was also quite puzzled by this.
"You monster my foot! Didn't I tell you? I'm the River God. See this halo on my head?" Chen Luo pointed to the halo on his head that had been transformed from a divine seal.
"River God? You're the River God? The first person to be conferred a god after the great calamity of a thousand years, the River God who was conferred a god a few days ago?" The cultivator was stunned for a moment.
"Yeah, what? You immortals know about this too?" Chen Luo asked curiously.
"Although strictly speaking, the Immortal Realm and the main universe are not on the same plane, but rather specially created blessed lands, or higher planes, or small worlds, the Declaration of Conferment of Gods will be broadcast to all worlds at least in the first 10 conferment of gods after the revival of spiritual energy. But how could you possibly be a river god?" The cultivator still didn't believe it.
"Why can't I be the river god?"
"The problem is that the River God is in the main universe, how could he possibly come to the Immortal Realm?"
"Please, a river god, a river god, as the name suggests, is a god who controls rivers. It wouldn't be surprising if he appeared in any river, would it?" Chen Luo retorted.
"??? But this is the Weak Water."
Even a feather cannot float, so it cannot be crossed.
This is the explanation of the Weak Water.
Of course, it's not that terrifying in reality. At least this Weak Water River isn't that terrifying. The cultivator just now was wondering how to go down and retrieve his flying sword.
Although controlling one's magical artifacts is generally a must-have supernatural ability, the Weak Water is still somewhat magical. It is very difficult to retrieve anything that has sunk into the Weak Water because it can block divine thoughts, and ordinary people cannot touch it.
“The Milky Way is a river too. Is there a problem?” Chen Luo pointed to the river behind him.
Yes, that's right, Chen Luo is now in the Immortal Realm.
The reason it appeared in the celestial realm was because the river god detected that someone's magical artifact had fallen into the river and had not been retrieved for a long time.
Chen Luo made a special effort to visit the Immortal Realm, because it was a place he had always wanted to go.
Although Chen Luo's core ability allows him to appear in any river regardless of whether he throws anything into it, it would be even easier if this condition was triggered.
Moreover, Chen Luo also wanted to impose some restrictions on himself in front of outsiders.
The river god can only move something into the river if it falls in. How about that? Isn't that a big restriction?
Just as they were talking, someone dropped something into the river and hadn't been able to retrieve it, so Chen Luo disguised himself with several layers and floated ashore.
"No wonder you couldn't get it out for so long, it turns out you couldn't." Chen Luo turned around and looked at Tianhe behind him.
"Are you really the river god?"
"Are you ever going to stop?" Chen Luo got so angry when the other person kept asking him this question that he took off the ring on his head and hit the other person's head hard a few times.
The other person hasn't been unbanned yet, so they're powerless to fight back, and that's how they ended up with two bumps on their head.
"Now answer a few questions for me, or I'll knock you a few more times," Chen Luo said.
"Seriously, bro? If you're going to beat someone up, don't leave me to do it all by myself!" the other person said, rubbing their head.
"After it's done, I'll give you the Silver Flying Sword too." Chen Luo summoned the other party's flying sword and the Silver Flying Sword together and threw them on the ground.
"!!!" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words and seeing the silver flying sword in front of him, the other party rushed forward and vigorously stroked the flying sword.
"Hiss, it really is my natal flying sword! The connection with me is still there, but its strength seems to have increased considerably. Terrifying!" The cultivator looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.
So how exactly did they manage to do that?
If it were merely a matter of replicating three flying swords of different qualities, that wouldn't be a big problem. However, the connection to one's own destiny cannot be faked.
"First of all, what is your name?" Chen Luoke wasn't foolish enough to answer the other person's question, so she asked on her own.
“Zhou Yun’an,” the cultivator said.
"Are you sure this is the immortal realm?"
“Nonsense, I’ve been in the Immortal Realm since I was born.” Zhou Yun’an rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.
"But why is this immortal realm so different from what I imagined? Logically, it should be all about flying through the clouds and mist, right?" Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.
Don't even think about how much the lower realm describes the immortal realm. Even if there are records, they have long been lost. So Chen Luo has never known anything about the immortal realm.
Chen Luo originally thought that the Immortal Realm was a magnificent and resplendent place where everyone he met was a celestial soldier or general.
"...You've watched too much of the 86 version of Journey to the West, haven't you?" Zhou Yun'an looked at Chen Le with a strange expression.
"???"
"You know the 86 TV series Journey to the West? This doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the Immortal Realm and the main universe be isolated?" Chen Luo was shocked.
"Now I'm sure you really aren't from the Celestial Realm, otherwise you wouldn't have asked such a brainless question. Are you really the River God?"
“…If you ask that question again, believe me, I’ll beat you up again.” Chen Luo lifted the ring on his head.
"Ahem, alright. A few years ago, didn't a group of extraterrestrial demons try to invade our plane? When the big shots appeared to fight them, they brought back a lot of things from the lower realms."
"Although there are restrictions on bringing things from the upper realm to the lower realm, there is no problem bringing things from the lower realm to the upper realm, including a large number of game consoles, televisions, DVDs, and so on."
"I see..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought.
I never imagined that second-generation traffickers were already doing this more than a decade ago, and that the people doing it were some pretty powerful ones.
How can you expect me to accept this? Are you trying to steal my business?
"But haven't those things broken after all these years?" Chen Luo asked curiously.
"So what if it's bad? Please, this is the Immortal Realm. Don't think of the Immortal Realm as so backward, okay? We've read time-travel novels too. The Immortal Realm is indeed not suitable for modern technology, but it is possible to build new types of servers and branches using spiritual energy artifacts or even magic treasures."
"Isn't a cell phone just a telepathic communication technique? Add a little bit of spiritual projection ability and other things, and building a cell phone that's even more powerful than the one in the lower realm shouldn't be a problem," Zhou Yun'an said.
"That's...indeed."
Chen Luo was somewhat disappointed.
Chen Luo had originally planned to create a passage between the upper and lower realms to sell goods back and forth and make a profit, but he didn't expect that the market for this had already been exhausted.
Thinking about it carefully, this is probably similar to the difference between the Age of Gods and the modern world in the Moon World. The technological level in the Age of Gods was not much worse than that now, because although the Age of Gods did not have electricity, it could be driven by magic.
While it is indeed strange to open a modern factory in the immortal realm, it can be done more conveniently using spiritual power and magical artifacts.
"Here, this is the latest mobile phone produced by the Divine Artifact Pavilion. It has functions including but not limited to video calls, voice calls, watching videos and TV, listening to music and radio, etc." Perhaps out of a desire to show off, Zhou Yun'an shook the watch on his left wrist.
“Old mobile phones were too difficult to use; the button-operated system was simply unacceptable. Now, our Little Immortal Phone Watch can be used quickly with just a thought, and as long as you input spiritual power, it can connect to the server hub located at the Heavenly Court headquarters at any time.”
"..." After hearing what the other person said, Chen Luo thought for a moment, then took the other person's watch off their wrist and threw it into the river.
"What are you doing? Do you know how expensive this is? 100 low-grade spirit stones, and it's a limited edition! Although it's waterproof, it's not waterproof against weak water." Zhou Yun'an wailed.
"Holy crap!" But the next moment Zhou Yun'an opened his mouth wide, because three watches appeared next to Chen Luo.
After returning the original watch to the other party, Chen Luo threw the silver watch into the Gate of Babylon, and then put on the gold watch himself.
To be fair, in terms of technology that integrates so many functions into a small watch, the celestial realm is indeed more convenient than the mortal realm.
Moreover, your watch can project a 3D screen directly, which is quite convenient.
"Wait, what's that in your hand? Why is there a 3D screen?" Zhou Yun'an was dumbfounded.
"It's a super upgraded version of the watch you're wearing. Can't your watch project 3D images?" Chen Luo asked.
“No… for now, we can only project in a flat plane. I suspect that the guys in the Artifact Pavilion have already figured out how to project in 3D, but they’re keeping it a secret.” Zhou Yun’an shook his head.
"Oh, so the River God's abilities can also be applied to electronic products, allowing them to be updated and iterated," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.
"...Could you give me the gold watch? Ah, no, I'll pay for it, 100 mid-grade spirit stones," Zhou Yun'an asked after a moment's hesitation.
"...Who do you think you are? Do you think people from the lower realm are all idiots? Or do you think I, the river god, don't understand what it means to have a technological advantage?" Chen Luo looked at the disappearing traveler with suspicion.
"Uh, hehe, how about I offer ten high-grade spirit stones? That's all I have," Zhou Yun'an said somewhat embarrassedly.
If you own the latest model of a certain brand of mobile phone, it might only be worth around 1 yuan.
But if you have a super-enhanced version of this brand, you can even sell this prototype to the other company for hundreds of millions of yuan.
While it's certainly difficult to reverse engineer using technology, don't forget that this is a phone from the celestial realm, essentially a magical artifact, making reverse engineering much easier.
Moreover, you can even hold auctions, because the Divine Artifact Pavilion is not the only one eager to seize all the immortal market.
It can be said that Chen Luo's simple mobile phone alone is enough to stir up a storm.
"Foolish, even if I kill you, your spirit stones will still be mine." Chen Luo glared at Zhou Yun'an with annoyance.
"!!!"
That seems to make sense.
Which serious practitioner doesn't hold all their possessions in their hands?
After all, there was a risk of the cave being robbed, and as for the spirit stone bank... Zhou Yun'an suspected that Chen Luo didn't know what a spirit stone bank was. Besides, he hadn't actually deposited his own spirit stones in the spirit stone bank.
