Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Although this wooden bird is also a flying magical treasure, its speed is far inferior to the Underworld Luo Boat that Chen Tian obtained. At best, it can only be considered a toy.

Even so, the value of this wooden bird is extremely high. I'm afraid Shi Changgeng spent a lot of effort to get it.

The wooden bird is intelligent. Once it takes off, it can automatically adjust its flying posture and direction, without requiring anyone to deliberately control it. Therefore, Chen Tian and Shi Changgeng can relax for a while.

Just then, Shi Changgeng flicked his sleeve, and a jade pot and two luminous wine glasses appeared on the long table.

Shi Changgeng picked up the jade pot and first filled the wine glass in front of Chen Tian.

It is unknown what kind of fine wine was in this pot, but as soon as it flowed out, a strange fragrance wafted out. Looking into the glass, one would discover that after the fine wine merged with the glass, a beautiful starry sky appeared on its surface, as if a galaxy was hidden within.

Chen Tian was greatly surprised by this sight, but he did not hesitate at all. He picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

As soon as the fine wine entered his mouth, it transformed into streams of dense spiritual power, instantly filling Chen Tian's limbs and bones, making him feel extremely comfortable.

"Good wine!"

After putting down the cup, Chen Tian couldn't help but praise.

"Hmm? Brother Yang, aren't you afraid that I might poison the wine?"

Shi Changgeng, who was beside him, was a little stunned after seeing Chen Tian's bold actions.

Although he had only had a few interactions with Chen Tian, Shi Changgeng could tell that Chen Tian was more careful and cautious than most people. Therefore, after pouring the wine for Chen Tian, he planned to take a sip first to prove that the wine was non-toxic and dispel Chen Tian's concerns.

However, to his surprise, before he could make a move, Chen Tian had already drunk the wine in the glass, as if he was not afraid of being poisoned at all.

This was definitely not the Chen Tian that Shi Changgeng knew, which was why he was so surprised.

"Haha, Brother Shi is too worried! I firmly believe in a principle: don't befriend those you suspect, and don't doubt those you befriend. Since I already regard you as a trustworthy friend, then naturally I won't worry about you poisoning the wine. This is good wine, is there more? Please fill me another cup!" After laughing heartily, Chen Tian handed the empty wine glass in his hand to Shi Changgeng, actually wanting a second cup.

Upon hearing Chen Tian's heartfelt words, Shi Changgeng was stunned for a moment, but soon his heart was filled with deep emotion. Without saying much, he hurriedly filled Chen Tian's wine glass with another cup of wine.

As if they had let go of their burdens, Chen Tian and Shi Changgeng were on the back of the wooden bird, under the moonlight-drenched night sky, exchanging toasts and enjoying themselves!

After drinking for a while, Chen Tian seemed to be in high spirits. He finally put down his wine glass, looked up at Shi Changgeng, and said, "Brother Shi, can we talk about the specifics now? What exactly did you mean by what you said earlier?"

Seeing Chen Tian's straightforward question, Shi Changgeng, although his cheeks were flushed, also put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled, "What Brother Yang wants to ask is, why did I suddenly withdraw from the previous trade fair?"

"Exactly!" Chen Tian nodded after hearing this, a hint of suspicion appearing on his face.

Chen Tian had originally prepared to fight to the death like Immortal Monarch Huayang, but who would have thought that Shi Changgeng would give up after making only one bid, allowing the Immortal Stone to fall into his pocket so easily. This easy victory made Chen Tian a little puzzled.

As if seeing the doubts in Chen Tian's heart, Shi Changgeng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yang, please don't worry. There are actually two reasons why I did this!"

"Hmm?" Chen Tian groaned softly, then cupped his fist and said, "I would like to hear the details!"

Shi Changgeng poured another cup of wine for Chen Tian, then said unhurriedly, "First, although I am interested in that Immortal Stone, I have also witnessed Brother Yang's wealth. I know my own limitations. With my capital, I cannot compete with you at all, so I might as well withdraw and be a good sport."

"Well, that does sound like your style, Brother Shi." Hearing Shi Changgeng's explanation, Chen Tian nodded. Then, his brow furrowed, and he asked, "Then what is the second reason?"

"Haha, this is entirely my own selfish motive." Shi Changgeng laughed loudly, then leaned closer to Chen Tian's ear and whispered, "Actually, I want to do another deal with Brother Yang!"

"Do a deal?" Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this. He really didn't expect Shi Changgeng to say such a thing. After pondering for a moment, he said seriously, "Alright, Brother Shi, tell me first, what kind of deal is it?"

Shi Changgeng smiled slyly, approached Chen Tian, and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Yang, you must be in great need of Immortal Stones, right?"

"Eh, what do you mean by this?" Hearing Shi Changgeng's words, Chen Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but become wary as he looked at him.

"Hehe, Brother Yang, don't be nervous. This is all my guess. If I guessed correctly, then the next thing will be easy to talk about. Otherwise, our deal will be out of the question." Realizing the change in Chen Tian's expression, Shi Changgeng quickly explained.

After listening to his words, Chen Tian took a deep look at him and finally nodded, "Brother Shi, you guessed right. I do need a batch of Immortal Stones urgently."

"Haha, I knew it!" Seeing Chen Tian admit it, Shi Changgeng immediately laughed loudly, "I thought it was strange just now. If it wasn't for an urgent need, then ordinary people wouldn't be interested in Immortal Stones at all. Sure enough, Brother Yang, you do need Immortal Stones!"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Looking at Shi Changgeng's utterly cunning merchant's smile, Chen Tian's face immediately darkened, as if he was a little impatient.

However, Shi Changgeng ignored him and continued to laugh to himself. At the same time, he raised the wine glass in his hand, took a small sip, and then slowly opened his mouth and said, "Alright, Brother Yang, I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, the deal I just mentioned is related to this Immortal Stone!"

"Hmm? Could it be that you know where the Immortal Stones are?" Looking at the strange smile on Shi Changgeng's face, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something and immediately exclaimed, "As long as Brother Shi can tell me the whereabouts of the Immortal Stones you know, then I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Looking at Chen Tian's eager appearance, Shi Changgeng laughed again and said, "Haha, why bother with so much trouble? Actually, I have two Immortal Stones with me. As long as Brother Yang can afford the price, then I will sell them to you."

"What? You have Immortal Stones on you?" Chen Tian was surprised to hear Shi Changgeng's words!
