Chapter 464 A Passerby in a Fallen Immortal Family (16)
These are too many tricks. The detection and recording arrays nested inside the formation are blatantly obvious. Isn't this just bullying people because they can't understand your methods? Jiang Yue was a little disgusted. Fine, fine, is this how you play the game?
Jiang Yue didn't even bother with the tribulation; instead, she modified his formation, adding a large projection array. She set it to project their disgusting affair onto the ground sometime thousands of years later. This projection array connected the entire formation, covering a wide enough area for everyone in the city to see.
As for whether Jiang Yue will be afraid of retaliation thousands of years later, this guy only needs a few months or years to overcome a tribulation. No one takes several years in advance. Most people only need one or two months. So many people have come and gone over thousands of years. Who would he be looking for?
Knowing about this, Jiang Yue naturally wouldn't choose to undergo her tribulation here. She made up an excuse and left. This kind of situation is common, so it wasn't unusual for her. After leaving, Jiang Yue went to the Hongmeng Chamber of Commerce to inquire and learned that they also had this venue, which was provided free of charge to members. Jiang Yue decisively chose this place.
After entering the magic array, she did the usual check. "Look at others, why don't they learn from me?" But just in case, Jiang Yue still set up some arrays herself. After completing them, she began her tribulation journey.
The Heavenly Immortal Tribulation is much stronger than the Earthly Immortal Tribulation. Even with Jiang Yue's current physique, she was severely injured after passing through it. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao would compensate her after the tribulation, and after stabilizing her realm, her injuries also stabilized. Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Yue still took some healing medicine, since the point of buying such things is to use them.
After adjusting herself, Jiang Yue began to upgrade Bai Ze. Before refining, Jiang Yue was a little flustered. She then deduced the process countless times before starting. During this process, Jiang Yue was very careful with every step, afraid of any problems. Fortunately, God blessed her, and she succeeded on the first try.
After the refining was completed, the Heavenly Tribulation descended. It was best for Jiang Yue not to help with this step. The Heavenly Tribulation was both a test and a baptism. Only by completely passing through the Heavenly Tribulation could one achieve perfection.
Seeing the lightning strike Bai Ze, Jiang Yue felt even worse than if it had struck her. When the last lightning bolt struck, Jiang Yue's consciousness was destroyed, and she couldn't see what was happening. If Jiang Yue hadn't still had her senses, she would have rushed forward.
As Bai Ze emitted a seven-colored light, Jiang Yue smiled, knowing that she had succeeded. As the light dissipated, Bai Ze circled Jiang Yue a few times before returning to her dantian. The transformation would still take some time.
"Not bad. I thought it would be a second-tier immortal artifact, but it turned out to be a third-tier immortal artifact. The starting point is much higher, and the time for its gestation will be saved a lot in the future."
While still feeling confident, Jiang Yue upgraded the components of the Wizard Tower as well. After finishing, she looked at the celestial-level modules on the ground and sighed, "If I had known to buy all the materials, I might have upgraded the Wizard Tower this time too."
After replacing the new parts, Jiang Yue discovered a new problem: the energy level in the battery was too low, and it was being used up too quickly. The difference between a True Immortal Artifact and a Celestial Immortal Artifact was too great. She had to find a way to replace the energy source or a magic array to condense the energy, otherwise, how long would it take to charge the battery if she had to act as a human power bank?
After much thought, Jiang Yue thought of her family's protective formation, part of which involved compressing energy. Once she had thoroughly studied it, she could modify the energy-charging formation. Although the energy wouldn't be as high as Jiang Yue's own magical power, it should be enough to function as a battery.
After noting down this idea, Jiang Yue packed her things and left. After returning to her temporary residence, she waited for Bai Ze to wake up. During this time, she accidentally went into seclusion and comprehended a bit of the lightning attribute law.
After his seclusion ended, Bai Ze awoke. The upgraded Bai Ze's abilities in all aspects had increased by more than ten thousand times. Most importantly, his intelligence had improved. Although the old Bai Ze was powerful, one could still sense that he was an intelligent being.
Now, it's as if Jiang Yue is having a conversation with a real person. Jiang Yue subconsciously pulled him back into her space, thinking that he had his own life. Moreover, he understands Jiang Yue and knows all her habits. The two of them work together seamlessly, as if Jiang Yue has gained a super brain. Now Jiang Yue's mind is very sharp, so the difference is not obvious. If Jiang Yue were an ordinary person, the difference would be immediately apparent.
With Bai Ze's assistance, the new charging array was quickly deduced. However, there was no place to experiment in this temporary rented house, so we needed to find a place to stay for now.
Jiang Yue recalled the invitation she received from the Hongmeng Merchant Guild, which sold pills. Although she had joined the Pill Tower a few days ago, the Pill Tower did not prohibit joining other forces, as it was originally a neutral force.
Jiang Yue originally planned to join the Weapon Sect, but after arriving here, she discovered that the Weapon Sect had moved to the southernmost part of the Central Continent, bordering the Demon Clan. Since the area was not peaceful, she did not go there.
It seems feasible to accept the invitation from the Hongmeng Chamber of Commerce. With her skills, she could work here for thousands or tens of thousands of years and probably wouldn't need to buy pills anymore. She could even get a bunch of pill formulas for free. The only thing to consider is the issue of freedom. Compared to the gains she would make during this period, the temporary loss of freedom is nothing.
Having made her decision, Jiang Yue accepted the invitation from the Hongmeng Chamber of Commerce. She even voluntarily removed 20% of her disguise, revealing her strength as an early-stage Earth Immortal. Coupled with her alchemy skills, she immediately received the treatment of a third-tier alchemist upon joining, and the corresponding contract was signed for 50,000 years.
Fifty thousand years is a long time in the Immortal Realm. Many people cannot survive the tribulations and may not live that long. The Hongmeng Chamber of Commerce is trying to tie Jiang Yue down and make her serve the Chamber of Commerce forever.
After signing the contract, Jiang Yue was transferred to the eastern part of the Central Continent. There are three major sects in this area that are not short of pills. In the east, there are two of the five major sects and three of the eight great families. The pill business there is still very good.
Jiang Yue had originally planned to take a celestial boat, but she didn't expect the Hongmeng Chamber of Commerce to be so wealthy and powerful that it directly activated the teleportation array to send them all over.
Upon arrival, the person in charge had already arranged accommodations for Jiang Yue. She was treated like a third-tier alchemist, so her cave dwelling was quite luxurious. In other words, Jiang Yue only needed to focus on alchemy, as everything else had been taken care of. There was also an element of surreptitious surveillance involved, but Jiang Yue didn't care. She wasn't really sincere to begin with; it was just a mutually beneficial arrangement.
After a month's rest, Jiang Yue began her working life. For the past thousand years, Jiang Yue had maintained a high success rate in the market, which was based on a disguised success rate. As usual, she would take one or two pills every now and then because someone was always watching her.
In the second millennium, the Chamber of Commerce arranged for someone to seduce her. This person suggested that Jiang Yue could skim off a little more than she wanted. Jiang Yue struggled with this for decades, and then skimmed off a few more. After another millennium, the person who had been monitoring her left, and only then did they truly trust her.
For three thousand years, Jiang Yue maintained this facade. If it weren't for her divine sense, comparable to that of a Golden Immortal, which prevented her from detecting that someone was monitoring her, and the orders assigned to her improved after confirming that she was trustworthy and not greedy, Jiang Yue would have begun her embezzlement empire.
