Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 748: Have You Touched Enough?
Everyone was speechless.
When did the people from the Celestial Pavilion become our allies?
Not to mention that the Celestial Pavilion has always maintained neutrality and would never take any side.
Even if they weren't neutral, what do they have to do with you, the Mountain God?
Jiang Han Immortal Emperor's entry into Changhan Island unsurprisingly caused a small disturbance, and the immortals gathered outside were abuzz with discussion.
"Is the Celestial Pavilion willing to risk everything for business?"
"The Celestial Pavilion has always been neutral. During trades, the conflicting parties usually give them face."
"That was in the past. The Celestial Pavilion today is not what it once was. Now, they can choose to trade with the Assembly of Immortals and the Holy Star Pavilion…"
"Indeed, knowing that the Snow Spirit Sect is an eyesore to the Wanling Hall, they still dare to trade with them?"
"Offending the Great Emperors, their future business in the Spirit Realm will suffer."
"This is truly unwise!"
"But I have to say, the style of the Celestial Pavilion remains as trustworthy as ever."
"Knowing they would offend the Wanling Hall, they still came over after receiving the trade request."
These discussions reached the ears of Jiang Han Immortal Emperor and Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor.
The two couldn't help but let out a slight sigh.
Losing the favor of the upper echelons of the Spirit Realm but gaining a reputation, it was a gamble for the Celestial Pavilion.
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Welcome all the elders from the Celestial Pavilion!"
Even in the presence of an Immortal Emperor and a Quasi-Emperor who could easily crush them, Han Rong, Han Zhuo and others showed no fear.
The reason is simple: the Celestial Pavilion are true businessmen, with no history of killing and robbing.
Even if the other party is just a Profound Immortal and the deal falls through, they wouldn't make any aggressive move.
"Where are your immortal artifacts and treasures?"
Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor still hoped to complete this transaction quickly and leave without delay.
This would minimize the potential impact.
But Han Rong didn't immediately present the spoils.
Instead, he spoke with some expectation, "Our Elder Mountain God invites you, would you like to meet first?"
Mountain God?
Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor was becoming impatient.
"What Mountain God, this is absurd."
"We're here for a trade, not a meeting!"
He had no intention of spending too much time at the Snow Spirit Sect, worried that if there were delays, what would happen if the Wanling Hall attacked?
If both sides met, it would truly be troublesome.
Seeing the Celestial Pavilion here, Huntian Emperor and Emperor Xuanji would surely direct their anger towards them.
Han Rong thought he hadn't understood, so he added, "It's the Mountain God of the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain."
"What Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain?"
Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor's expression darkened with displeasure, "What nonsense are you babbling about?"
The Celestial Pavilion hadn't received any intelligence about that Treasure Mountain yet.
His words chilled the hearts of Han Rong, Han Zhuo, and the others by half.
It's over, it's over!
The people from the Celestial Pavilion had never even heard of 'Elder Mountain God'.
What ally?
All this time, it was nothing but exaggerated falsehoods.
In an instant, Brother Cheng's credibility plummeted to rock bottom.
Along with him, the Snow Spirit Sect's elders lost the little sliver of confidence they had.
Their trust was built on Brother Cheng, the Mountain God.
Now discovering the Mountain God is a 'fraud,' wouldn't it collapse entirely?
However, Jiang Han Immortal Emperor showed a bit of interest.
"Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal?"
"You have Nine-Colored Celestial Crystals here?"
She simply ignored the word 'mountain.'
Seeing her intent to visit, Han Rong and the others nodded enthusiastically, like eager sales attendants.
"Yes, yes, we have Nine-Colored Celestial Crystals!"
Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor changed his mind as well.
If there really are Nine-Colored Celestial Crystals, then this trip would be worth it.
The other materials for a Tier Nine Immortal Armor aren't too difficult to gather, but the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal is exceptionally rare.
"How much do you have?"
Even a piece the size of an egg would be a rare marvel!
Han Rong and Han Zhuo exchanged a glance, unsure how to describe it.
"A lot…"
"A lot?"
Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor frowned, suspecting they might be exaggerating.
After a moment, when he arrived at the rear mountain and saw the massive Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain, he fell into a long daze.
Not just him; even Jiang Han Immortal Emperor couldn't remain calm.
"This, this, this…"
"How is this possible?"
"So much Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal, it's unreasonable!"
She touched the mountain body, carefully sensing and examining, appearing a bit frenzied.
As the third head of the Celestial Pavilion, she was an expert in appraising treasures.
She had always been fascinated by this path.
To the extent that she completely ignored the admiring and passionate gazes of Han Ling and the other disciples nearby.
In this moment, she and Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor understood many things.
"No wonder the Wanling Hall wants to attack you."
"So that's it, that's it!"
With such a Treasure Mountain, who can resist the temptation?
Even among their ranks, they almost succumbed to greed.
"Are you selling this mountain?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal is the key material for crafting a Ninth-grade Immortal Armor.
And Ninth-grade Immortal Armor is not something that's available for purchase.
This level of Immortal Armor isn't owned by every Immortal Emperor and can't be bought.
If they could take this mountain back, it would be of immense significance to the Celestial Pavilion.
In the future, the Celestial Pavilion would become the only commerce association in the Immortal Realm capable of stably selling Ninth-grade Immortal Armor.
Based on this alone, no other force would dare to completely break ties with the Celestial Pavilion.
Han Rong knew what she was thinking, so he could only smile wryly, spreading his hands.
"We can't decide on this matter."
The equally unnerved Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor urgently inquired, "Can't decide? The Snow Spirit Sect belongs to you, how can you not decide?"
"Just name a price!"
"Apart from us, the Celestial Pavilion, there aren't many who can take it on."
Just as Han Rong was about to speak, Brother Cheng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Alright, alright, this mountain is mine."
"Jiang Han, my dear sister, have you touched enough?"
This sudden voice startled everyone from the Celestial Pavilion.
"Who?"
"Who's hiding in the shadows?"
Jiang Han Immortal Emperor and Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor thought they had walked into a conspiracy trap, quickly summoning their weapons and looking around warily.
Brother Cheng couldn't help but tease, "Tsk tsk tsk, only a million years since we last met and you've forgotten about me? Should've known not to help you with alchemy back then."
This familiar voice, coupled with the reminder of a million years and alchemy, finally made Jiang Han Immortal Emperor and Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor realize.
"It's you!"
"Sect Leader Jiang!"
"You're really still alive?"
They were overjoyed, as if hearing news of a loved one.
But this was quite normal.
In the eyes of the Celestial Pavilion's higher-ups, Sect Leader Jiang's association with Miao Yu already made him half one of them.
Moreover, he was their hidden ally.
Most importantly, his alchemy was unrivaled and unmatched.
As long as he lent his assistance, the Celestial Pavilion would never fall.
