Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian was naturally unaware of the little trick the old man in the green shirt had played. After flying some distance further, Chen Tian suddenly took out a white feather garment from his storage ring. He draped it over himself, and his figure instantly vanished without a trace.

… … … … … … … … … … …

'Azure Pine Pavilion' was a newly opened trading shop that was making waves in Moving City.

It was originally located in Dragon Bell City, but it moved to Moving City to escape the ravages of war. However, perhaps due to acclimatization issues, Azure Pine Pavilion not only failed to regain its former glory after arriving here, but it also declined further and further, with business getting worse day by day.

The owner of Azure Pine Pavilion was a middle-aged man with late-stage Spirit Guiding cultivation. At this moment, he was staring blankly at the desolate shop, lost in thought.

Just then, a young man in a white robe suddenly appeared in the shop like a phantom.

This person was none other than Chen Tian, who had returned after leaving.

It turned out that Chen Tian hadn't gone far. After leaving Moving City for a short distance, he used the Heaven Concealing Feather Garment to circle back.

The originally listless shop owner's eyes instantly lit up when he saw Chen Tian enter. He hurriedly greeted him with a smile, saying, "How may I help you, fellow cultivator? Are you looking to sell something, or are you here to buy?"

Looking at the shop owner's face, which was practically plastered with the words 'treacherous,' Chen Tian pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I plan to buy something."

"Great!" The shop owner's eyes gleamed even brighter, and he quickly nodded, saying, "Although my shop isn't large, it has been in business for decades. Anything you can think of, we have it here."

'We have everything?' Hearing the shop owner's words, Chen Tian couldn't help but shake his head. Wasn't that a bit too boastful?

Actually, before entering Azure Pine Pavilion, Chen Tian had already visited all the other trading shops in Moving City.

Those trading shops were doing much better business than Azure Pine Pavilion, but none of them had what Chen Tian was looking for. Chen Tian was almost ready to give up, but he inadvertently discovered this small shop. Hoping for a stroke of luck, he reluctantly came in to take a look.

However, after hearing the shop owner's bombastic speech, Chen Tian sighed inwardly. After all, if the shop owner was so unreliable, could this shop really have what he wanted?

Still, since he was already here, Chen Tian decided to try his luck. He first scanned the empty shop with his eyes, then fixed his gaze on the shop owner, opened his mouth slightly, and asked, "I want Yue Li Fruit. Do you have any?"

"What? Yue Li Fruit?"

Hearing the three words that Chen Tian spoke, the originally confident shop owner's expression instantly froze.

The Yue Li Fruit was a unique product of Yue Li Mountain, and its use was very limited. It only had one function: to attract demonic beasts.

However, the demonic beasts attracted by the Yue Li Fruit were not ordinary demonic beasts, but demonic beasts with a strength of rank nine or higher!

Although no one knew why, those rank nine demonic beasts, upon smelling the scent of the Yue Li Fruit, would go mad, rushing to devour it from any distance.

However, the Yue Li Fruit was not so easy to obtain. Their production was extremely low, and they had no specific distribution pattern. Sometimes they grew on the edge of Yue Li Mountain, and sometimes they grew in the heart of Yue Li Mountain.

However, regardless of where they grew, at the moment they ripened, they would immediately be devoured by rank nine demonic beasts. Therefore, very few people could obtain Yue Li Fruit.

Moreover, the Yue Li Fruit could neither enhance cultivation nor be used for alchemy. Its only function was to attract demonic beasts of rank nine or higher. Ordinary people simply had no use for it, so very few people would risk their lives to pick Yue Li Fruit.

The combination of these factors made the number of Yue Li Fruit in existence extremely rare.

Chen Tian knew this as well, but he had a use for the Yue Li Fruit, so he came to try his luck. But now it seemed that Chen Tian was going to be disappointed.

Looking at the shop owner, who was still in shock, Chen Tian shook his head helplessly and was about to turn and leave.

But just as he turned around, the shop owner suddenly seemed to wake up and hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Chen Tian's path.

However, to Chen Tian's surprise, the shop owner still blocked his way, preventing him from leaving.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's face suddenly turned cold: "Since your shop doesn't have Yue Li Fruit, why are you still blocking me?"

"Fellow cultivator, although I don't have Yue Li Fruit here, I know of a place that might have what you're looking for. Would you like to hear about it?" Facing Chen Tian's questioning, the shop owner suddenly grinned.

Chen Tian was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then asked, "Tell me quickly, what place is it?"

Seeing Chen Tian's urgent expression, the shop owner did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked around to make sure that no one was nearby, before leaning close to Chen Tian's ear and whispering, "Fellow cultivator, you may not know this, but my shop holds a secret trading session every seven days. Tonight at midnight, another one will be held. If you don't mind, why not stay and participate? Perhaps you can buy some Yue Li Fruit from someone else there."

It turned out that the shop owner, seeing that business was bad, had taken a different approach and created a trading session to attract people to participate. After each successful transaction, he would collect some immortal crystal stones as commission.

"Trading session?"

After hearing the shop owner's words, Chen Tian couldn't help but frown and ponder. However, he quickly nodded and said, "Alright, since it's just a matter of trying my luck, there's no harm in participating."

"Hehe, fellow cultivator, don't worry. You will definitely gain something tonight." Hearing Chen Tian's agreement, the shop owner's face was full of obsequious smiles.

However, behind this obsequiousness, there was a faint hint of greed.
