Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Brother Shi, isn't this too expensive? Can you lower the price a bit more?”

“Lower the price? Tsk, tsk, Brother Li, you can't do business like that! I, Shi, have always treated people with sincerity. The price I'm giving you is already the fairest. I can't lower it any further!”

As Chen Tian slowly approached, the sounds of their conversation gradually reached him.

After hearing this, Chen Tian's heart stirred, because he felt like someone was trading something.

Curious, he finally arrived at the waist-high thicket of grass. After parting a gap to the left and right, Chen Tian looked inside.

He saw two people not far away, talking around a pink flower.

One of them was wearing a light blue robe, with his hair neatly tied up. He had handsome features, and his eyes were fixed on the pink flower placed on the ground, clearly very tempted.

The other person was thin and withered, with a wretched appearance. The most peculiar thing was his pair of extremely large ears, resembling a monkey.

But when Chen Tian saw this person, his heart suddenly moved, because he recognized him. He was Shi Changeng, the one who had made a deal with Chen Tian in the Giant Deer Tower.

“Strange, why is this guy here?” After the shock, Chen Tian calmed down and continued to observe without revealing himself.

At this moment, Shi Changeng opened his mouth again and said, “Brother Li, let me tell you, I spent a lot of effort to get this Qiling Flower. You should know that this flower is a fire essence flower, often growing inside volcanoes. When I went to pick it, I was accidentally burned by the heat, and there are still scars on my arm!”

As he spoke, Shi Changeng rolled up his sleeves, revealing a scorched black scar. It was clear that he had been burned by intense heat.

The handsome young man was obviously moved by what he saw. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, gritting his teeth and saying, “Alright, considering how much suffering you've endured, Brother Shi, I'll buy this Qiling Flower!”

With that, the handsome young man took out a wooden box from his storage belt and handed it to Shi Changeng.

Shi Changeng took it and saw countless immortal crystal stones densely packed inside the wooden box. His face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly handed the pink flower to the handsome young man.

After the handsome young man put away the flower, he cupped his fist at Shi Changeng, and then his figure flashed as he flew away from the place.

Shi Changeng kept waving his hand towards the sky, until the handsome young man flew far away before he lowered his hand.

But at this moment, a sly look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with a mocking smile: “Hmph, a greenhorn fresh out of the gate who can't even distinguish between a Qiling Flower and a Luyan Flower deserves to be cheated by me!”

As he spoke, Shi Changeng took out a red jade bottle, poured out some juice from it, and smeared it on the 'scorched scar'.

At this moment, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something. After a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stood up and smiled: “Brother Shi, you've made a fortune this time!”

Shi Changeng focused all his attention on the immortal crystal stones in front of him and did not notice anyone near him. So, after hearing Chen Tian's abrupt words, he was so frightened that his hands shook, and he dropped the wooden box full of immortal crystal stones on the ground.

At the same time, Shi Changeng jumped three zhang forward like a monkey, turned around, and shouted with a wary expression: “Who is it!”

Looking at Shi Changeng's appearance, Chen Tian immediately covered his stomach and laughed, saying: “Brother Shi, aren't you too timid? You're scared by this?”

At this time, Shi Changeng also saw Chen Tian's appearance clearly. After being slightly stunned, he said unhappily: “So it's Brother Yang, don't tease people like that! Believe it or not, I'll get angry.”

Shi Changeng had made two deals with Chen Tian and knew his character, knowing that he was definitely not an evil person, so he was not panicked.

“Okay, I was wrong, I apologize to you.” Chen Tian laughed again and made a bow to Shi Changeng.

“Hmph, that's more like it.”

The expression on Shi Changeng's face eased slightly, and then he bent down and began to pick up the scattered immortal crystal stones one by one.

Chen Tian looked at his appearance, smiled indifferently, and said: “Brother Shi, but I really admire you, you actually used a Luyan Flower to impersonate a Qiling Flower to trick people, your methods are really superb!”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Shi Changeng, who was still picking up immortal crystal stones on the ground, shook his body and raised his head, smiling awkwardly: “That… Brother Yang, you heard it all.”

“Of course.” Chen Tian raised the corner of his mouth and said playfully: “Brother Shi, I really despise your behavior! How can you have the heart to deceive a junior who has just entered the world? No, I'm going to stop him and tell him everything.”

With that, Chen Tian turned around, making a gesture to chase after the handsome young man.

Seeing this, Shi Changeng's expression suddenly changed drastically. He immediately stood up and stopped Chen Tian, ​​smiling and saying: “That Brother Yang, this is not necessary, right? I'm doing this for his own good!”

“For his own good?” Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this, not knowing what he meant, and asked: “You deceived him, how can you say it's for his own good?”

“Hehe, Brother Yang, think about it, the hearts of people in this cultivation world are unpredictable and extremely sinister. If this kid doesn't suffer a bit, how can he learn from his mistakes? Although I deceived him today, I also educated him, so that he can see this world clearly as soon as possible, so it can be considered for his own good!” Shi Changeng actually came up with such a fallacy.

Chen Tian was a little impressed after hearing this. How could there be such a thick-skinned guy in the world?

Looking at Chen Tian with a depressed face, Shi Changeng seemed to have thought of something again, divided half of the immortal crystal stones in the wooden box, and handed them to Chen Tian, ​​saying: “Brother Yang, considering our fate, I hope you can accept these little tokens!”

Chen Tian naturally knew what Shi Changeng was thinking. He just wanted to use these immortal crystal stones to buy him off and prevent him from publicizing it.

Of course, facing the benefits that were offered to him, Chen Tian always took them without hesitation. So, after taking a look at the immortal crystal stones that Shi Changeng handed over, Chen Tian waved his hand and put them into the storage ring.

Seeing Chen Tian accept these immortal crystal stones, Shi Changeng breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he smiled again: “Brother Yang, in fact, now that I think about it, I also admire you very much!”

“Admire me?” Chen Tian frowned after hearing this, and asked in confusion: “What does this mean?”
