Wang Chong naturally dared not raise the price any further. Chen Tianwen had already proven himself to be able to refine fourth-grade immortal pills, making him a genuine fourth-grade immortal pill refiner.
The status of a fourth-grade alchemist is comparable to that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
So Wang Chong quickly said:
"Young master, your strength is naturally comparable to those Grand Luo Golden Immortals. How about this, to express our apology for what happened earlier, you only need to pay 80,000 mid-grade immortal crystals."
Chen Tianwen nodded in satisfaction and handed over 80,000 mid-grade immortal crystals to Wang Chong.
Wang Chong respectfully accepted the immortal crystal and began registering Chen Tianwen.
Wang Chong then reviewed the mission assignments released over the past few days and asked Chen Tian:
“Young Master Chen, there are five Grand Luo Golden Immortals and two Golden Immortals who are about to cross the Endless Sand Sea. If you are willing, you can set off in three days.”
Chen Tianwen nodded. He could afford to wait three days.
Wang Chong also told Chen Tianwen the meeting place three days later and handed Chen Tianwen a jade slip.
The jade slip contained a unique mark of the Sand Sea Guild, serving as proof of Chen Tianwen's initiation into the guild.
Chen Tianwen turned and left the Sand Sea Guild. Along the way, many people tried to chat with him, but Chen Tianwen refused them all with a smile!
The title of a fourth-grade immortal alchemist also made those who were rejected dare not harbor resentment, but only sigh in their hearts that their blessings were shallow.
Chen Tianwen randomly found a hotel and settled in, waiting to depart in three days.
Having not had a proper rest in a long time, Chen Tianwen also gave up cultivation. Although with Chen Tianwen's current cultivation level, it wouldn't matter if he didn't sleep for hundreds of years, Chen Tianwen still wanted to savor the joy of being a mortal.
So after Chen Tianwen booked the room, he lay comfortably on the bed and fell fast asleep!
If others knew that Chen Tianwen spent hundreds of mid-grade immortal crystals to buy a luxurious room, he would be drowned in their spittle.
Chen Tianwen's room was the most luxurious room in the hotel. The concentration of immortal spiritual energy inside was comparable to the cultivation paradise of some small sects. However, Chen Tianwen only used it for resting. This can only be described as being rich and willful, and having no sense of humanity in his extravagance!
Chen Tianwen set up countless immortal arrays around himself, lay on the bed and slept soundly for two days and two nights before finally opening his eyes, still half asleep.
This was the most restful sleep Chen Tianwen had had since his ascension; he even had a long, beautiful dream.
Chen Tianwen dreamt that he had returned to the Xuan Tian Realm, with Hua Qingyue, Xia Anyu, and Qin Zhiruo surrounding him. He was carefree, traveling around with the three women. When he returned home, his sister Chen Yumeng and father Chen Xiaogu were still smiling at him as before...
"You're so carefree. With a major battle imminent, you still have the mind to sleep."
A cold voice came from behind, startling Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen looked at the newcomer in surprise. He was dressed in plain clothes and looked middle-aged, but the clothes did not look crude on him. Instead, they gave people a feeling of returning to simplicity.
The sudden appearance of the middle-aged man in plain clothes surprised Chen Tianwen!
Putting aside the several immortal arrays that Chen Tianwen had set up around him, Chen Tianwen would not have noticed the other party's sudden appearance if the other party hadn't spoken.
If the other party intended to harm him, Chen Tianwen could imagine that he would be powerless to fight back, and might even become a victim of the other party's blade before he even noticed them!
Chen Tianwen pondered the other party's origins, but his gaze remained firm as he looked at them and spoke:
"Does the senior have something to discuss with me, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Tianwen asked, feigning composure, "Anyway, it's a blessing in disguise, not a curse. Rather than appearing panicked, I might as well face it calmly."
The middle-aged man in plain clothes nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Not bad. You didn't lose your composure in the face of this sudden change. You have a good mindset."
Although the middle-aged man in plain clothes was praising Chen Tianwen, his words were devoid of any emotion, making the listener feel uncomfortable!
Chen Tianwen also got up from the bed, bowed slightly to the middle-aged man in plain clothes, and said:
"May I ask who you are, senior? And what business do you have with me, Chen?"
The middle-aged man in plain clothes did not answer Chen Tianwen's question. Instead, he asked Chen Tianwen in return:
"Who do you think can be called God?"
Chen Tianwen was surprised by the question and began to ponder it with a frown.
After a while, Chen Tianwen spoke:
"The one who sets the rules is a god!"
The middle-aged man in plain clothes did not change his expression, and it was impossible to tell whether he agreed with Chen Tianwen's words.
The middle-aged man in plain clothes skipped over this topic again and continued to ask Chen Tianwen questions, saying:
"Do you think you can become a god and set the rules for a region?"
Chen Tianwen frowned, pondering how to answer the question.
After a long silence, Chen Tianwen decided to follow his heart and spoke:
"I believe I can!"
The middle-aged man in plain clothes said without any emotion:
"On what grounds? On your Qilin Undying Divine Technique, or on your simplified laws? Or perhaps on the Heaven-Asking Technique that Bai Ze gave you?"
Chen Tianwen was extremely shocked. The middle-aged man in plain clothes knew so much about him, and could even see that he was under the simplified law. Chen Tianwen had a vague idea of the other party's identity, but he still found it hard to believe.
The middle-aged man in plain clothes continued speaking:
"The Qilin Saint Lord did not cultivate the Qilin Undying Divine Technique to its full potential, nor did the Human Emperor achieve godhood through the simplification of laws. Bai Ze reincarnated several times, yet still failed to attain godhood. So what makes you think you can become a god?"
Chen Tianwen was somewhat bewildered by the questions posed by the middle-aged man in plain clothes. These were questions that Chen Tianwen had considered before.
For example, the Human Emperor created the Simplification Law because he was able to simplify everything with his extraordinary insight. However, as the creator of the Simplification Law, the Human Emperor still did not achieve godhood!
The Qilin Saint Lord was an exceptionally talented individual who created a method for achieving godhood, the Qilin Undying Divine Technique, which was said to allow one to achieve godhood through physical means. However, in the end, the Qilin Saint Lord also met a tragic end, dying and disappearing from the world.
The Heart-Questioning Technique taught by Bai Ze is the path to godhood through the power of faith. Therefore, Bai Ze also reincarnates continuously to collect his own power of faith, but the task is still arduous and the road ahead is long!
Chen Tianwen's eyes became unfocused, but the middle-aged man in plain clothes was still not ready to give up and continued to press Chen Tianwen for answers:
"Saint Desa has colluded with the Heavenly Dao. He has even merged with a portion of the Heavenly Dao. It can be said that Saint Desa can represent a part of the rules of this world!"
"And you, how do you intend to fight against Saint Desa?"
