Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing Chen Tian's question, Ling Zizhe finally came back to his senses. After glaring at Wen Ying with a sinister look, he quickly changed his expression and nodded obsequiously, saying, "Of course, I will certainly take care of what Senior asks me to do. Look, everything is here."

As Ling Zizhe spoke, he respectfully handed the blue cloth bag he was holding to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian glanced at the blue cloth bag, then took it and pinched it with two fingers to untie the mouth of the bag. Instantly, bursts of colorful light burst out from the bag, illuminating the stone chamber in a bizarre and colorful way.

Chen Tian counted them slightly, then frowned and stared at Ling Zizhe, saying somewhat displeased, "Why are there only seven high-grade immortal crystals?"

Seeing Chen Tian's expression of impending anger, Ling Zizhe was immediately startled and quickly explained, "Senior, please don't blame me, I really have no choice!"

"No choice?" Chen Tian frowned and asked, "Okay, then tell me, what do you mean by no choice?"

Ling Zizhe wiped the sweat from his face and hurriedly explained, "Senior, as the young master of the Ling family, I forcibly broke into the Ling family's vault. After searching for a long time, I could only find these. Seven high-grade immortal crystals are already my limit. I really can't gather ten!"

After saying that, Ling Zizhe lowered his head, his body trembling as he waited for Chen Tian's punishment, his heart filled with fear.

After hearing his words, Chen Tian couldn't help but fall into thought.

To be honest, although the Ling family has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, it would be difficult for them to take out ten high-grade immortal crystals at once.

Therefore, from the beginning, Chen Tian had never thought that Ling Zizhe would be able to produce them.

As for why Chen Tian insisted on setting the number at ten, it was to squeeze Ling Zizhe to the maximum extent. After all, Chen Tian didn't believe that the huge Ling family didn't have even one high-grade immortal crystal.

In fact, Chen Tian had already prepared himself mentally that Ling Zizhe would eventually take out five, or even less than three, immortal crystals.

But the final result still surprised Chen Tian. He didn't expect Ling Zizhe to be so honest, actually searching the Ling family's vault and taking out seven high-grade immortal crystals.

This number far exceeded Chen Tian's expectations!

Chen Tian had obtained four high-grade immortal crystals in the Fallen Immortal Valley, and although he had consumed one to activate the formation, he still had three left. Now, adding these seven high-grade immortal crystals, Chen Tian had ten in his possession!

What kind of concept is this?

Let's put it this way, even a mid-tier sect might not have as many high-grade immortal crystals as Chen Tian!

Of course, Chen Tian was extremely happy with this result, but he didn't show this excitement on his face. Instead, he remained gloomy, making it impossible to tell what Chen Tian was thinking at this moment.

Ling Zizhe naturally couldn't figure out Chen Tian's mood. Seeing Chen Tian's silent appearance, he thought that Chen Tian was angry. Immediately, the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down like a waterfall, and he hurriedly said, "Senior, although I couldn't gather the ten immortal crystals you wanted, I brought all one hundred and twenty thousand-year-old ginseng roots treasured in the Ling family's vault to make up for this loss. I hope Senior will be satisfied!"

Chen Tian was surprised after hearing this and looked into the blue cloth bag again. Sure enough, there were one hundred and twenty thousand-year-old ginseng roots tied with red ropes inside.

Chen Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed again. He didn't expect Ling Zizhe to be so honest, emptying his family's vault to make up for the lack of high-grade immortal crystals.

"With so many things missing all at once, how will you explain to your father when he comes back?"

Chen Tian seemed to be concerned about Ling Zizhe, but a purple light flashed in his hand, and he put the blue cloth bag full of high-grade immortal crystals and thousand-year-old ginseng roots into his storage ring.

Therefore, upon hearing Chen Tian's promise, Ling Zizhe immediately smiled and thanked Chen Tian repeatedly.

Chen Tian smiled when he saw this, then frowned and said, "Alright, since the matter here is over, then I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now, goodbye."

Since he had received such a huge benefit from Ling Zizhe, Chen Tian had no intention of staying any longer. Besides, calculating the time, Ling Zizhe's father, the current head of the Ling family, Ling Yunfeng, was about to return.

If he were to be caught by him at that time, then Chen Tian would inevitably have to explain. And Ling Zizhe would also be equally apprehensive.

Therefore, in order to reduce trouble, it was better for Chen Tian to leave now. After all, this would be a relief for both Chen Tian himself and Ling Zizhe.

Sure enough, upon hearing the news that Chen Tian was leaving, Ling Zizhe's face lit up with joy. He didn't stop him and smiled, "Alright, I wish Senior a smooth journey."

Unlike Chen Tian, Ling Zizhe didn't even mention the words 'goodbye', obviously not wanting to see Chen Tian again.

Chen Tian naturally heard the thoughts in his heart, but he wasn't angry. He smiled and turned to leave.

Seeing Chen Tian about to leave, Ling Zizhe was so happy. He stood in place, eagerly watching Chen Tian leave.

But at this moment, Ling Zizhe glanced and happened to see Wen Ying, who was still curled up on the stone bed, scantily clad. As if thinking of something, he hurriedly shouted to Chen Tian, "Senior, please wait! I would also like to give you a gift. I wonder if you are interested?"
