Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"You… …Could you lend me that waist牌 (waist badge) for a look?" The rice merchant stammered, swallowing hard as he stared at the waist badge Chen Tian had taken out.

"Take it!" Chen Tian didn't care and casually tossed the waist badge to the rice merchant.

Seeing the waist badge flying towards him, the rice merchant fumbled for a while before carefully catching it. Then, he held it in front of his eyes and scrutinized it closely.

Not only the rice merchant, but even Mi Yang, who was standing beside him in a daze, hurriedly stepped forward to identify it with him.

After a long while, the two seemed to have made a decision. They exchanged a glance, and then knelt down towards Chen Tian with a "plop", exclaiming in terror, "We were blind and offended you, Senior. Please forgive our ignorance and don't hold it against us!"

The two were truly terrified. They had already sensed something was wrong earlier because how could a mere Spirit Guiding middle-stage cultivator possess such a terrifying aura?

Now they finally understood that Chen Tian must have concealed his cultivation. After all, the VIP token issued by the Mi family was not something that just anyone could possess. As far as they knew, anyone who wore a VIP token had a cultivation level of at least the凝海 (Solidifying Sea) realm or above.

And to think that they had just offended a powerful Solidifying Sea realm cultivator, how could they not be terrified?

Fortunately, Chen Tian seemed to be different from ordinary Solidifying Sea realm cultivators. At least, he possessed a unique temperament and did not kill them outright, but only punished them slightly before letting them go. This made the two feel a strong sense of gratitude along with their fear.

After getting up from the ground, the rice merchant respectfully returned the waist badge to Chen Tian and then said, "Since Senior holds a VIP token, then you can go to the trading fair at any time without any restrictions."

"Oh? Really anytime?" Chen Tian frowned and asked after hearing the rice merchant's words.

The rice merchant's expression became even more respectful as he bowed and said, "Yes, as long as Senior wishes, you can go now."

Hearing this, Chen Tian felt a little depressed. He had been wandering around the street for more than an hour to kill time, and if he had known this earlier, he would have gone there immediately. How could he have caused such a misunderstanding?

Thinking of this, the helplessness on Chen Tian's face grew stronger, and he kept shaking his head.

The rice merchant and Mi Yang were both curious when they saw Chen Tian's appearance. After exchanging a look, the rice merchant cleared his throat and stepped forward, saying, "May I ask if Senior is planning to go to the trading fair now? If so, we brothers can help."

"Eh." Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Then, he looked up at the rice merchant and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by that?"

Faced with Chen Tian's question, the rice merchant didn't say anything. After exchanging a look with Mi Yang, the two squatted down together, supporting each other with their arms, actually forming a human sedan chair.

"We unintentionally offended Senior, which was our fault. To make up for it, we are willing to be beasts of burden and carry Senior to the venue. Please don't despise us," the rice merchant said to Chen Tian while squatting on the ground.

It turned out that he and Mi Yang wanted to use this method to make up for their previous rudeness and recklessness towards Chen Tian.

After hearing this, Chen Tian was first taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "Alright, alright, I already understand your intentions, you should get up."

Sitting on the two's backs to go to the venue, such an arrogant and domineering posture was far from Chen Tian's style.

Hearing this, the rice merchant originally wanted to say something more, but at this time, Chen Tian showed a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and in the next moment, his figure seemed to ripple like water, rippling layer by layer in front of the two, and disappeared without a trace in a short while.

"Senior? Senior, where are you?"

Seeing this scene, the rice merchant and Mi Yang were immediately shocked and hurriedly stood up from the ground and looked around.

But to their disappointment, no matter how they searched, they could no longer see any trace of Chen Tian.

"This Senior is really strange." After staring blankly at the empty street for a while, the rice merchant sighed secretly, and then left with Mi Yang.

However, just after they left, in the sky above the place where they were standing, Chen Tian's figure suddenly appeared.

After shaking his head slightly, Chen Tian turned his gaze and glanced thoughtfully towards the west side of Forget-Worry City, and then his figure disappeared like the wind again.

When Chen Tian appeared again, he was already standing in front of a huge manor.

This manor covered hundreds of acres, with artificial mountains, giant rocks, flowers, trees, and forests, everything you could want, making it extremely luxurious.

In front of the high-rise gate, there was also a huge stone tablet proclaiming the words 'Mi Residence, Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted'.

Obviously, this manor was also a property of the Mi family, and tonight's trading fair was being held here.

After Chen Tian stood outside and inspected it, he smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and then without hesitation, he raised his foot and wanted to go in.

However, just as he had taken a few steps, a burly man wearing black martial attire and holding a scimitar suddenly strode forward from the front, blocking Chen Tian and saying, "Are you blind? Didn't you see the sign here that says 'Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted!'"

Chen Tian glanced at him slightly and found that although this burly man looked rough, he already possessed the cultivation of the Spirit Gathering initial stage, which could be considered a strong person in ordinary sects.

Obviously, he was a guard hired by the Mi family and treated Chen Tian as an ordinary idler, so he stopped him outside the door.

However, facing his reckless behavior, Chen Tian did not blame him, after all, Chen Tian was still concealing his true cultivation at this time.

"This strong man must have misunderstood. I am not an idler. I am here to participate in the trading fair, so please let me in," Chen Tian explained with a smile, and raised his foot to continue walking inside.

However, seeing this, the burly man stopped Chen Tian again. After looking Chen Tian up and down, he said in a contemptuous tone, "Even if you are here to participate in the trading fair, you can't enter. Wait another three hours."

Seeing the burly man like this, Chen Tian smiled bitterly helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't get in without taking out the VIP token. Thinking of this, he reached out and touched his waist.

"Presumptuous, don't be rude!"

But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the doorway behind the two!
