Chapter 1 Countless Experts

The news of an Immortal Emperor's tomb appearing in the Xiangze Great Domain of the Southern Immortal Realm attracted the attention of countless powerhouses.

Various prodigies personally arrived at Qingzhou Ancient City, as the Immortal Emperor's tomb was located near this ancient city.

Qingzhou Ancient City was very close to the Northern Immortal Realm and had thin immortal qi, so normally, no cultivators would gather here.

However, with the appearance of this Immortal Emperor's tomb, countless powerhouses gathered.

It was even rumored that Immortal Kings had personally gone to the Immortal Emperor's tomb to observe.

But most of the prodigies gathered in Qingzhou Ancient City, waiting for their sects to give the signal. They were prodigies, very young, and would not risk their lives rashly. Generally, the elders of the sect would take the lead.

Many secret realms set realm restrictions. In the Immortal Realm, when many powerhouses fell, they would build large tombs, evolving into a place of creation, but they didn't want their inheritance to be snatched away by others.

So generally, high-realm cultivators were not allowed to enter, but rather the prodigies were allowed to fight each other. Whoever could reach the end could inherit the supreme arts.

Of course, some powerhouses would rather die than leak their inheritance. Therefore, reaching the end might mean facing an unparalleled killing formation, dying without a burial place.

No one could say for sure.

At this moment.

Qingzhou Ancient City.

Inside the ancient city, there was no Protoss channel set up, only one channel, because this ancient city was not famous. Let alone Protoss, even the Celestial Race would not come here.

So setting up a Celestial Race channel would be meaningless.

Of course, due to the Immortal Emperor's tomb, a large number of prodigies poured into Qingzhou Ancient City. The city lord of Qingzhou Ancient City was not foolish and directly ordered people to forcibly open up a special channel.

Ten thousand immortal stones were enough to directly enter the city, without queuing up.

Outside the ancient city.

Lu Changsheng and Tianji Zi had arrived. They traveled day and night, spending two days to get here.

For a cross-domain journey, it was considered fast.

Looking at the long queue, Lu Changsheng hardly hesitated and went directly to the special channel.

He had some immortal stones. The Tianxuan Immortal Sect compensated the Great Shu Sect with a million high-grade immortal stones. He took a portion, and one high-grade immortal stone was worth ten thousand low-grade immortal stones. Lu Changsheng took away one hundred thousand.

To be used as travel expenses.

Throwing out two high-grade immortal stones, Lu Changsheng and Tianji Zi smoothly entered the ancient city.

Passing through the channel, soon many shouts rang out.

"Immortal, would you like to see the fox妖 (yāo) performance? It's definitely exciting and stimulating, guaranteed to be unforgettable, and you can even interact at zero distance."

"Immortal, immortal, don't listen to his nonsense, what the hell fox妖 (yāo) performance, they are all some old women who are hundreds of years old. Our restaurant has young仙子 (xiān zi) performing. That performance, my god, I guarantee you won't want to leave after watching it."

"Immortal, would you like to taste the special delicacies of our Qingzhou Ancient City, Flood Dragon meat, Earth Phoenix marrow, the taste is extremely delicious."

At the exit of the special channel, a group of cultivators gathered, they were soliciting customers.

People who could spend ten thousand immortal stones to go through the special channel were naturally wealthy. The cultivators of Qingzhou Ancient City were not fools, they would try to get as many as they could. This kind of high-quality customer would casually spend a fortune, naturally making the competition extremely fierce.

"Fox妖 (yāo) performance? Young仙子 (xiān zi)? You wouldn't be lying to this old man, would you?"

Tianji Zi opened his mouth, full of suspicion.

"Oh, this immortal, how dare I lie to you? If you are not satisfied, we won't charge a penny."

"Yes, yes, they are definitely beautiful仙子 (xiān zi), and they also have unique skills, immortal, you definitely don't want to miss it, you won't have another chance."

The other party was extremely excited, and Tianji Zi was a little tempted.

But Lu Changsheng sighed and casually looked at a more honest cultivator and said.

"You, just take me to a quiet restaurant."

What fox妖 (yāo) performance, what仙子 (xiān zi) performance, was there any point? Selling dog meat under a sheep's head, Lu Changsheng was not unaware of these routines. Even if there really were some, it was estimated that if anything dared to happen, it would be forcibly stopped.

Just like being with Sikong Nanqin, he was one step away from ascending to immortality, but he was forcibly interrupted. These routines were extremely boring.

"I, I, I, immortal, please follow me, I will take you to a restaurant that is both quiet and classy, please follow me."

The latter didn't expect Lu Changsheng to choose him, and was stunned for a moment, but quickly became very excited and led the way.

But at this moment, a burst of noise rang out.

"Who are you? Why don't you pay the immortal stones?"

The sound rang out, coming from behind.

Immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Behind the channel, an old man looked a little nervous, he was stopped by several guards, scolding him.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't know that walking through this channel required spending immortal stones, I will go back now."

The old man was a little embarrassed, gave a dry laugh, and explained.

"You can walk away just because you don't know? You've already walked through, it's impossible to just let it go, pay up."

The guard's voice rang out, full of anger.

"This... ten thousand immortal stones is really too much, I will go back now, I hope you can give me some face, please be considerate, please be considerate."

The old man's attitude was very humble. He was an Earth Immortal cultivator, but in the Immortal Realm, Earth Immortals were just slightly stronger ants, and indeed not worth mentioning.

"You say considerate and we should be considerate? The rules are here, now you have two options, either pay the immortal stones, or be punished, you choose one."

The guard's attitude was extremely bad. It couldn't be said that they were unfeeling, after all, rules were rules, it could only be said that they were a little fierce.

However, at this moment, a voice slowly rang out.

"Isn't it just ten thousand immortal stones? Why be so aggressive? I, Li Shanshi, will pay the money."

As the voice rang out, a fat man slowly walked out of the channel.

This fat man was very delicate, and his face was a little chubby. From his appearance, he gave people a feeling of being charitable.

And looking closely, this person was very extraordinary.

Wearing a purple robe, which was an Immortal Venerable magic weapon, all ten fingers were wearing an Immortal Venerable-level magic weapon, at the very least, they were all low-grade Immortal Venerable boots. It could be said that from head to toe, he showed the word luxury.

But his realm was a little lacking, only Earth Immortal Perfection. It was passable in some small places, but in this place where prodigies gathered, he could only be considered extremely ordinary, even a little garbage.

But what was surprising was that he had seven or eight maids around him. Although their realms were not high, the people following Li Shanshi were the core.

Behind Li Shanshi followed ten people, each wearing a斗笠 (dǒulì - a type of broad-brimmed hat), unable to see their faces, but Lu Changsheng instantly noticed the strength of these ten people.

The weakest was also in the middle stage of Immortal Venerable, and the strongest two were in the Great Perfection of Immortal Venerable.

But soon, Lu Changsheng sensed an even stronger aura.

Immortal Saint!

That's right, it was Immortal Saint, although only in the early stage of Immortal Saint, but hiring an Immortal Saint as a bodyguard, this was really... no one knew what to say.

It was really a lot of face.

"Li Shanshi? He is Li Shanshi!"

"The散财仙人 (sǎncái xiānrén - money scattering immortal) Li Shanshi!"

"Hiss, Li Shanshi is actually here? I might get rich."

"Oh my god, this散财仙人 (sǎncái xiānrén - money scattering immortal) actually came to our Qingzhou Ancient City?"

In an instant, voices rang out, and the appearance of Li Shanshi caused a small sensation.

Tianji Zi was full of curiosity, and took out a copper coin to perform divination, then his expression changed after seeing the trigram.

"Changsheng, this Li Shanshi... I'm afraid he's a rich man."

Tianji Zi said with shock.

Lu Changsheng: "..."

Even like this, you still have to say he's a rich man?

For no reason, Lu Changsheng felt that this Tianji Zi was a bit of an insult to the divination industry, simply a disgrace to the industry.

"Who is this Li Shanshi?"

"Why haven't I heard of this Li Shanshi? Don't just be surprised, tell me."

Although some people knew Li Shanshi, more cultivators didn't know him, so they couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You don't even know Li Shanshi?"

"Li Shanshi, the person in charge of the three major chambers of commerce in the Immortal Realm, Wanfu Building, known as possessing ten斗 (dǒu - a unit of dry measure, here used figuratively) of wealth in the world. His Wanfu Building has three斗 (dǒu) of wealth in the Immortal Realm. To put it simply, anything we have on hand, whether it's a magic weapon or an immortal stone, may have something to do with Wanfu Building."

"This Li Shanshi is the only son of Wan Fugui, the owner of Wanfu Building, and he is spoiled to no end. He was born with a fairy key, but unfortunately, for some reason, his mother died after giving birth to him, and she also suffered from prenatal damage, leading to his congenital deficiency."

"Yes, yes, I've heard this rumor. It is said that Wan Fugui offended someone he shouldn't have, and secretly plotted against his wife. You must know that Wan Fugui, for the sake of Li Shanshi, before Li Shanshi was even born, invited the ten holy lands and Buddhist peerless powerhouses to chant scriptures for him."

"Unfortunately, he was secretly plotted against, and suffered from prenatal damage. He was born with congenital deficiency and couldn't survive at all. Wan Fugui spent a sky-high price to buy a damaged Immortal Emperor medicine, and forcibly kept Li Shanshi alive. Otherwise, he would have died long ago."

The crowd said one sentence after another, making many people smack their tongues.

"That's not right, his name is Li Shanshi, and his father's name is Wan Fugui, shouldn't it be Wan Shanshi?"

In the crowd, someone couldn't help but ask.

"You're stupid, his father's surname is Wan, but his mother's surname is Li. This is his father's way of commemorating his mother. He is a devoted lover."

Someone said the reason, making people suddenly realize.

"In short, this Li Shanshi was born with a fairy key in his mouth. His father, in order to extend his life, bought a damaged Immortal Emperor medicine, and then every year he would use an Immortal Saint medicine to forcibly clear his meridians and restore his congenital condition. Otherwise, he wouldn't live past fifty."

"Impossible, he is already in the Earth Immortal Realm, how can he not live past fifty? You're talking nonsense here."

"Realm is realm, what necessary relationship does lifespan have with realm? He has a congenital deficiency, only Immortal King medicine can extend his life, and constantly taking Immortal Saint medicine, the effect will become worse and worse, but taking Immortal King medicine is too overbearing, he can't bear it at all. If you want to cure it completely, you can only find a truly complete Immortal Emperor medicine to save him, but unfortunately, Immortal Emperor medicine, and a complete one, is extremely rare in the world. Even if there really is one, so many forces in the world, who wouldn't be jealous, would they let Wan Fugui give it to his son?"

"So he is destined to not live long."

People discussed, almost revealing all of Li Shanshi's secrets. As expected, wherever there are people, there is gossip.

There are good people and bad people, generous people and selfish people.

"That's not right, you've said so much, what does it have to do with me? Why say we're going to get rich?"

"Yes, yes, why say we're going to get rich?"

"What does his death have to do with me? Tell me how to get rich."

The crowd discussed. Some people were curious as to why Li Shanshi's appearance could be related to getting rich. Some people were venomous and had dirty personalities, but this was the state of all living beings.

There are good people and bad people, generous people and selfish people.

"You don't understand, this Li Shanshi is famous for being charitable. Perhaps because he is too rich, he doesn't know how important money is. As long as he is in a good mood, he will casually give people immortal stones and magic weapons. As long as you make him happy, I guarantee you will be successful."

"Once there was a cultivator who had just ascended, just to make him happy, do you know what he did? He directly threw more than a dozen Immortal Venerable magic weapons to the other party, it was simply inhumanely rich."

"In short, stop talking, go lick him!"

They discussed, revealing why Li Shanshi's reputation was so great.

Not to mention, at this moment, Li Shanshi had already walked out of the channel.

In an instant, the surrounding cultivators who welcomed guests swarmed up and began to shout loudly.

"Immortal, immortal, would you like to come to my restaurant? I guarantee you will be served comfortably. If you don't like women, is it okay to look at me?"

"Immortal, I have never seen such a handsome and extraordinary person as you in my life. Oh my god, can you let me take another look?"

"Hiss! Immortal."

"Oh my god."

"Dad, I am your long-lost son."

"Immortal Shanshi, I am so bitter, my father died three years before I was born, and my mother died after giving birth to me, please, have mercy on me."

The cultivators swarmed up.

Especially the last cultivator, who had just said that his death had nothing to do with them, was crying and shouting, trying to gain sympathy.

Lu Changsheng saw all this.

He didn't have any fluctuations.

But Tianji Zi pinched his fingers and then wanted to go over and say, "This fellow Daoist, you have a bad omen."

However, Lu Changsheng noticed Tianji Zi's thoughts and immediately stopped Tianji Zi.

He didn't want to be so embarrassing.

It was a pity that the guide was also kneeling on the ground, begging Li Shanshi to give him some alms.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng shook his head and walked forward.

Tianji Zi glanced at him with some regret.

"Changsheng, this person looks like a sucker, aren't we going to rip him off?"

Tianji Zi transmitted his voice with divine sense.

He was really unwilling.

"Senior Tianji, it's just a little immortal stone, if you need it, I'll give it to you."

Lu Changsheng was very helpless.

However, Tianji Zi shook his head and said.

"It's not about the immortal stones, it's mainly that I feel uncomfortable if I don't take advantage of something."

Tianji Zi said with discomfort.

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

He didn't know how to answer.

Because it sounded like it made sense.

But at this moment.

A voice rang out.

"This fellow Daoist! Stop!"

It was Li Shanshi's voice.
