  Everything that happened in the Supreme Pagoda was already shocking enough for Jiang Ming. However, what made him even more surprised was that this place could allow him to communicate with people from other worlds.

  “Awesome! Is this technology?” Jiang Ming was both surprised and amazed, yet he commanded himself to calm down.

  “Although it isn’t useful for cultivation, we can use it to pass the time of boredom. However, there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why are all these girls wearing so little? Are they cultivating some kind of demonic technique to seduce people? That being said, they really are pleasing to the eyes.”


  “Hehe!” Lup Heng giggled. “If I put this on your side of the world, would it be worth anything?”


  “Well, it’s hard to say,” Jiang Ming said. “Those who cultivate the path of heaven would definitely not like it. Those who’re weak don’t have much money in their hands. Brother Luo, why don’t you tell me what you want in exchange?”


  “Spiritual pills and immortal weapons,” Luo Heng said without any hesitation.

  “What do you think about this spiritual pill, then?” Jiang Ming asked as he handed a Qi Maintenance Pill to Lup Heng.

  “Are you kidding me?” Luo Heng’s face sank. “This pill only has a small amount of vitality in it. Even a Golden Core martial artist wouldn’t want it at all.”


  “You’re the one who messed with me first,” Jiang Ming said. “This thing of yours couldn’t be eaten or drunk. It can’t assist us in our cultivation either, and you still have the audacity to ask for a spiritual pill or an immortal weapon as an exchange? Do I look like a fool to you?”


  The scale finally had dropped before his eyes. Luo Heng was just trying to cheat him with something he had never seen before since he was the new guy here.

  Would a picture gallery of pretty women be more appealing than female dancers?

  Would an 18-rated movie be better than a demoness?

  It was not that he had never seen it before. After all, he was already an adult.

  Besides, in a world where power reigned supreme, having a lot of women wasn’t a problem at all if one was strong enough. He could have banquets every single day, and many pretty ladies would dance and entertain him right in front of him.

  Moreover, with his current level of intelligence and the knowledge he had amassed in his previous life, he might be able to develop an atomic bomb in another ten years. At that time, creating something entertaining or building a new island dedicated to entertainment would be a breeze.

  However, the thought disappeared as soon as it popped up in his head. He was a cultivator now. His goal was to attain immortality, so how could he do something inappropriate like that?

  “Ahem! Ahem!” Luo Heng grinned embarrassingly and said, “I’m just joking with you. Please don’t take it to heart, Brother Jiang. Just show me everything that you have. I’m going to make a big deal with you. I have everything you need here. Food, drink, games… I’m sure you’ll be satisfied!”


  “Alright,” Jiang Ming replied. He still had a lot of spoils that he hadn’t sorted out yet, so he figured that this might be the perfect chance for him to go through all of them. With that thought in mind, he came to the side, channeled his mana onto his palm, and made a table about 100 meters long out of thin air.

  Luo Heng was stunned. He wasn’t stunned because Jiang Ming could manifest a table out of thin air but because he could sense the endless stream of mana inside of Jiang Ming. His heart couldn’t help itself but tremble in fear. At the same time, he came to a conclusion. Jiang Ming was strong, a lot stronger than him. He himself was already considered a great genius of the last 10,000 eras, yet Jiang Ming was even better than him.

  Not only him, but even Guang Rui, Ye Qingxian, Aurum, and Liu Yuan were astonished by Jiang Ming.

  Jiang Ming paid them all no mind. He waved his hand, and several heaps of items appeared on the table.

  All of these were spoils that he had gotten from his battles with Mo Ling, the Holy Son of the Yinmo Sect, Ge Xiang, Mu Lei, Mu Shuiyun, and so on. Although some of them were destroyed alongside their original owners by him, he still managed to gather a lot of them.

  On the first heap were spiritual herbs, such as the Azure Spiritual Grass. The second heap consisted of multiple pills and elixirs. There were more than 1,000 bottles of them, and they were all labeled with their uses and functions. The third heaps were weapons, instruments, and some Dao Vessels. There were nearly a million of them. The fourth heap was the biggest amongst the heap. It consisted of many different rare stones and gems.

  He couldn’t take them out when he was at Chuyang Peak, so he hoped to get rid of them here.

  Luo Heng’s eyes were glowing with excitement. He had the urge to claim all of these things as his own, but luckily, he pressed the urge down.

  “What do you need?” Aurum asked as he looked across the spiritual herbs.

  “I want spiritual fluids, spirit crystals, or energy crystals. The purer, the better,” Jiang Ming said slowly, “Of course, I’ll accept seeds of spiritual plants or something special from your world.”


  “I have the seed of the Ancient Tree of War with me,” Aurum said after he thought for a while. He then took out a fist-sized turquoise seed that was brimming with vitality.

  “I want to use this to exchange for all of your spiritual herbs!”


  Jiang Ming took a look at the seed and shook his head. However, he did not say anything.

  “All of your spiritual items are low-grade, but this seed of the Ancient Tree of War is different. It can grow into the Ancient Tree of War, and it’s very powerful.” Aurum explained, “In my world, it’s a treasured item that everyone seeks!”


  “My items are treasured items in your world too,” Jiang Ming said. “Don’t think that your item is the best. I believe that all of our items here are unique in their own ways and are sought by the people in our own respective worlds.”


  “Alright then. But I want seeds as well. Do you have any?” Aurum asked.

  “Yes, I do have some with me.” Jiang Ming smiled.

  Although Aurum had only a dozen types of seed, all of them were of high quality. For example, the Flower Fairy Tree seed could produce flower fairies.

  He gave the Azure Spirit Grass and some seeds to Aurum in exchange.

  “I’ve heard from a legend that the elves are accompanied by the elven sacred tree. Is there a seed for it?” Jiang Ming asked.

  Aurum’s face sank when he heard his question. “The Mother Tree is our origin!”


  He flung his sleeve and took a seat at the side.

  “I apologize for my rudeness,” Jiang Ming said embarrassingly.

  ‘Origin? In other words, the Mother Tree is their mother? I’ve heard that elves are born from the elven tree. It seems like it’s not a myth at all…’


  Ye Qingxian picked some materials, weapons, artifacts, and Dao Vessels. She gave Jiang Ming 100 pieces of divine stones, which were equivalent to 100 pieces of top-grade spirit crystals.

  Liu Yuan looked around but did not ask for anything.

  “I have a bottle of Holy Water of Light with me. It can purify evil energy, cleanse one’s body, and strengthen one’s foundation,” Guang Rui said as she took out a bottle. The liquid inside swirled with white light, giving a sense of holiness.

  “So, what do you want?” Jiang Ming asked expressionlessly.

  “Raw materials!” Guang Rui pointed at the heap of stones and gems. There was a halo of light on top of her head and two big wings at her back. She lifted her chin slightly and added, “All of them!”


  “So, how much holy water are you going to give as an exchange?”


  “Ten kiloliters!”


  “Hah!” Jiang Ming scoffed.

  A smirk crossed Luo Heng’s face, Aurum frowned, there was a grin tugging at the corner of Ye Qingxian’s lips, and Liu Yuan smiled.

  “What do you want?” Jiang Ming turned to look at Luo Heng.

  “All of them!” Luo Heng said, “All of us here are geniuses. It’s without a doubt that all of your items are good, but in fact, they are of little use to us. I’m not going to point them out…” He paused for a moment.

  “Why?” Jiang Ming asked.

  Guang Rui’s expression changed when Jiang Ming ignored her. A flash of anger crossed her face as she asked, “Ten kiloliters of my holy water isn’t enough to exchange for these low-quality raw materials?”


  “Low quality?” Jiang Ming smiled coldly. He picked up a purple metal ore and said, “Do you know what this is? This is the purple copper ore. It can be refined and made into a weapon far beyond our cultivation level. This one alone is more precious than your so-called holy water. Oh yeah, since we’re here, I might as well tell you that your holy water is nothing but spiritual water infused with the power of light.”


  “My holy water is a sacred item in my world. It can purify evil energy, ward away darkness, and cleanse all negative statuses! How dare you say it’s just spiritual water?” Guang Rui flew into a rage. However, her expression changed in the next second.

  A wine cup had appeared in Jiang Ming’s hand. Then, he waved his hand, and a stream of water appeared in the air, filling the cup. Afterward, his palm glowed with light, and the cup of ordinary water became holy water that emitted a soft white light.

  “You… You have mastered the power of light?” Guang Rui was stunned. Her mouth opened and closed several times, but she did not say anything anymore. She flung her long hair and strode to one side. She turned her head around as she did not want to look at Jiang Ming anymore.

  Jiang Ming shrugged. For him, she was just a little girl who needed to be taught some manners. Unfortunately, fighting was prohibited here. Otherwise, he would make her, a prideful girl, scream with fear……
