Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

#43 - Chapter 43: Ulterior Motives

"Really? Senior brother, are you really willing to sell me these two peerless immortal talismans?" Chen Tian suddenly changed his mind and asked, pretending to be full of surprise.

"Of course, how could I, as your senior brother, deceive you?" The skinny man smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I've long been displeased with that young master Pan. He relies on his family's influence to bully the weak everywhere. This is not the demeanor of a cultivator at all; he's simply a rogue. So, I plan to help you, junior brother, and let you teach him a lesson. This way, it will be a good thing for you and for the entire Immortal Feather Sect."

Watching the skinny man's serious nonsense, Chen Tian almost laughed to death inside. He was even more certain that this skinny man was definitely a good material for a businessman. The way he spoke could bring the dead back to life.

However, Chen Tian didn't expose him. Instead, he continued to pretend to be very surprised and said, "Senior brother is so enlightened, truly a role model for us. I just don't know what senior brother wants me to exchange for these two immortal talismans?"

"Well..." The skinny man's eyes darted around after hearing this, and he said with a sly smile, "We are both disciples of the Immortal Feather Sect, so of course I won't rip you off, junior brother. How about you give me Spirit Enhancement Pills?"

His words were not unexpected to Chen Tian. After all, according to ordinary new disciples, the most precious thing was the Spirit Enhancement Pills they received from the sect every month.

Chen Tian had been saving his Spirit Enhancement Pills. Although he hardly needed these Spirit Enhancement Pills after merging with the Immortal Clan bloodline, Chen Tian would not give them away for nothing.

So, after thinking for a while, Chen Tian still looked silly and said, "That... senior brother, you don't know, I'm quite stupid, and my cultivation speed has been very slow. The last time I broke through the first level of the Spiritual Enlightenment Stage, I used a lot of Spirit Enhancement Pills, so now I only have four left. I wonder..."

Chen Tian didn't finish his sentence but looked at the skinny man with a pitiful look.

"Four?" The skinny man pondered for a while after hearing this, seemingly feeling that it was a bit too little. However, he sized up Chen Tian and felt that it was already good that Chen Tian could take out four pills with his poor appearance. So, he nodded and said, "Well, four it is. I'm only half-selling and half-giving it to you because of our缘分 (fate/affinity). Consider it a good deed. Go and get them."

"Really? Thank you, senior brother. Please wait a moment, I'll go get them now." Chen Tian showed a look of excitement and quickly ran into the house to take out four Spirit Enhancement Pills.

"Senior brother, please inspect them." Chen Tian respectfully handed the Spirit Enhancement Pills to the skinny man.

The skinny man took them and weighed them in his hand, a satisfied look on his face. After putting them away, he gave the two talismans to Chen Tian and said, "Junior brother, this time I'm helping you secretly, which has already violated the rules of the sect, so you must not publicize it, otherwise, we will both have trouble explaining it. Do you understand?"

Chen Tian also put the talismans into his chest pocket and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Of course, senior brother's kindness, Chen Tian will definitely remember it in his heart."

"Well, that's good. It's getting late. We still have to continue patrolling the mountain, so let's say goodbye here." The skinny man smiled slightly, and then quickly left with the other person.

"Farewell, senior brother."

As the saying goes, if you're going to act, act the whole part. Chen Tian bowed to the two of them again before closing the courtyard door and entering the house.

"Hehe, you're really wicked. Those two broken talismans, you can get as many as you want once you advance to the Spirit Induction Stage. We usually don't bother using them, but you used such broken things to scam four Spirit Enhancement Pills from them. Don't you feel guilty?"

After leaving a certain distance, the two stopped again, looked in the direction of the Spirit Beast Garden, and the fat man couldn't help but despise.

"Hey, when did you become so soft-hearted? Would I hoard the benefits for myself? Keep them." The skinny man said dismissively, taking out two Spirit Enhancement Pills and throwing them to the fat man.

"Hehe, that's more like it." The fat man caught the Spirit Enhancement Pills, a look of joy on his face.

Only then did the skinny man sarcastically say, "Actually, we can't be blamed for this. Look at that kid, he's so silly, he's not suitable for cultivation at all. Although I scammed him this time, I also want him to understand that the hearts of people in the cultivation world are unpredictable. It's not something a fool like him can handle. If he wakes up because of this loss and quits the Immortal Feather Sect to be an ordinary person, it's also helping him. Otherwise, with his appearance, he might die in some desolate mountains and fields in the future."

"Tsk tsk, I'm really impressed by you. You clearly scammed someone, but in the end, you said you were helping him. Do you even have any shame?" The fat man teased.

"Hey, why didn't I know you had so much to say today? Do you still want those Spirit Enhancement Pills? If you don't want them, give them back to me." Saying that, the skinny man was about to snatch the Spirit Enhancement Pills he had just thrown to him.

"Hey... don't, don't, don't, I was wrong, okay?" The fat man hurriedly covered his sleeves, smiled for a while, and then suddenly sighed, saying, "Actually, I didn't mean anything else, I just really think that kid is quite pitiful."

Saying that, he looked at the closed door of the Spirit Beast Garden with sympathy.

The skinny man sneered again after hearing this, "There's nothing to pity. The cultivation world is like this. If you don't deceive others today, others will deceive you tomorrow. Unless you are a strong person, otherwise, you can just be slaughtered."

However, the skinny man didn't follow immediately at this time, but looked at his back and said coldly, "Junior brother, the law of the jungle prevails in the cultivation world. I hope you won't blame me in the future."

When he said this, a flash of light flashed in the skinny man's eyes, appearing extremely vicious.

Immediately, he returned to his original state, with a shimmering light, and also rose into the air, chasing after him.

...\n...\n...

On the other side, after Chen Tian entered the room, his heart couldn't help but beat "砰砰 (peng peng)" faster.

He hurriedly came to the bed, opened a certain page on the Talisman Making Technique, and then took out the two talismans he had just obtained to compare them.

I saw two talismans drawn on this page of the Talisman Making Technique opened by Chen Tian, and their specifications and shapes were exactly the same as these two talismans.

After confirming this, Chen Tian couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, as expected!"
