Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 361 - 358: Slandering!

"You dummy, can’t you read the room?" Tang Wan’er pinched him hard and chastised him in a low voice.

Tang Zhiyong, following his sister’s gaze, had a sudden realization: "Oh, I get it now!"

"Master, Cousin, I’ll go back to practicing horse stance then, so as not to disturb you making little people!"

Hearing the words "making little people," Ye Chuxue wished she could find a crack to crawl into.

Li Chen, however, wore a mischievous smile: "Not bad, not bad, what a teachable lad!"

"Teachable your giant head!" Ye Chuxue extended her fair fingers, poking towards Li Chen’s chest.

"Cough cough, Xue’er, your Immortal’s Guide move is immune to me!"

As he spoke, he gently tugged and lifted Ye Chuxue around the waist.

"Whoa, Xue’er, you seem to have gotten heavier!"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, you’re holding two people now!"

Li Chen was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Two people? No way, I just kiss you occasionally, can that get you pregnant with a baby?"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes again and said, "What baby, I’m talking about me and my period!"

Li Chen had a ghostly expression: "Period?"

Ye Chuxue nodded seriously and said, "Yeah, didn’t you see I’ve brought sanitary pads with me?"

Li Chen followed the direction of Ye Chuxue’s finger and sure enough, there was a pack of sanitary pads on the bed.

"That’s not right, your cycle isn’t due yet, why did it come early?"

Ye Chuxue pouted and said, "I had some cold drinks with Qian’er the other day. My auntie decided to visit me early, what, you got a problem with that?"

Li Chen quickly shook his head, "No problem at all!"

Ye Chuxue gave Li Chen a glance and said, "No problem? Then put me down quickly, or I might have a side leakage soon!"

Hearing the words "side leakage," a sly mischievous smile once again flashed across Li Chen’s bright eyes.

"Li Chen, you rascal, believe it or not I’ll whip you with a sanitary pad?"

Before Ye Chuxue could lose her temper, Li Chen disappeared in an instant, fleeing through the door.

"Xue’er, sleep early, good night!"

"Hmph, lucky you can run fast!" Ye Chuxue stood in place and hummed a couple of times, then prepared to take a bath and go to bed.

That night, she slept sweetly.

However, Li Chen couldn’t fall asleep peacefully.

He had received reliable information that the Yuann Family had a God Realm master in residence.

With his current cultivation level, he was already struggling against a Demigod Realm opponent, let alone a true God Realm master. He would likely have no choice but to make a strategic retreat.

The reason he hadn’t killed Yuann Hua and Yuann Jinsan today was that he didn’t want to make an enemy out of the Yuann Family too deeply, at least not for now. So as not to provoke the God Realm ancestor of the Yuann Family to come out of seclusion and put himself at a disadvantage.

It seemed he needed to prioritize his cultivation and strive to master the Heavenly Master Token and the hidden secret manual of the Zhang Ling Sword as soon as possible. In doing so, he might stand a chance even against a true God Realm master.

After much consideration, Li Chen decided that the ideal place for secluded cultivation was the Lingnan Divine Dragon Pond.

That was a barren wilderness, rarely visited by humans, guarded year-round by a Jiao Long, untouched by human activity, and filled with abundant Spiritual Power. It was also the place with the richest concentration of Spiritual Power he had encountered since his rebirth.

If a large Spirit Gathering Array could be set up at the Divine Dragon Pond, the speed of his cultivation would increase exponentially, and the effect would be twice as good with half the effort.

However, setting up a Spirit Gathering Array consumed a lot of top-grade jade. The jade contributed by the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance had been mostly used up by him, leaving little behind. It seemed somewhat unrealistic to spend a large sum to buy more, not to mention it might alert the enemy forces.

Li Chen thought it over and decided to make use of local materials. For the Mei Family, as the masters of Lingnan, acquiring a large amount of jade should not be all that difficult.

Three days later, when Ye Chuxue went back to school, Li Chen secretly headed toward Lingnan.

Mei Jiuling was ecstatic and honored upon learning of Li Chen’s arrival.

He planned to summon the overlords from various parts of Lingnan to come for an audience, but Li Chen stopped him.

"Mr. Mei, I’ve come to Lingnan this time to purchase a batch of top-grade jade. Do you have any channels for that?"

Mei Jiuling asked, "Immortal Master Li, how much jade do you need?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Not a small amount, I need over a hundred pieces, approximately twenty kilograms in total!"

When Li Chen straight out asked for twenty kilograms of top-grade jade, even Mei Jiuling was so astonished that his mouth fell open.

Li Chen asked, "Is there a problem?"

Mei Jiuling gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and said, "No problem. Give me one month’s time, and I will definitely be able to find twenty kilograms of top-grade jade!"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "No, one month is too long; I can only give you seven days at most!"

Mei Jiuling’s face showed difficulty as he carefully said, "Immortal Master Li, isn’t seven days a bit too short? The resources for top-grade jade within the country are extremely scarce now, and we must go to Myanmar to purchase it. Coming and going, without twenty days’ time, it’s definitely not doable!"

Li Chen didn’t want to waste words and asked directly, "Where in Myanmar is it available? I’ll go get it myself!"

Seeing displeasure on Li Chen’s face, Mei Jiuling quickly took out a map, pointed to the border area, and said tremblingly, "Thirty li southwest of the black forest, there is an emerald jade mine. Looking around the world, perhaps only there can one find twenty kilograms of top-grade jade in a short time!"

Li Chen stared at the map, examined it carefully for three minutes, and said, "Alright, I’ll take this map then!"

"Immortal Master Li, this black forest is located at the junction of three countries, with complex terrain, and the forces within are intertwined like a dog’s teeth. This old man has dealt with them before, and I dare say I have some thin face in this realm of the black forest. How about I accompany you? This way, I can also spare you some unnecessary troubles!"

Seeing that Mei Jiuling’s hair and beard were all white and that he had just recovered from a serious injury, Li Chen shook his head and said, "There’s no need for such trouble. I can go alone. Moreover, you are the head of the Mei Family; you need to stay put here, and you can’t just leave. Otherwise, some petty forces in Lingnan might get restless again!"

Knowing that Li Chen found him old, Mei Jiuling pointed to his granddaughter, Mei Ruohua, and said, "Immortal Master Li, my granddaughter Ruohua is smart and clever from a young age, and her cultivation has reached the Half-step Innate. If you don’t mind, let her temporarily act as your maid to take care of your daily life?"

Mei Ruohua, upon hearing her grandfather propose she become Li Chen’s maid, couldn’t help but be startled.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Chen’s gaze directed toward her, and she shivered.

Li Chen asked Mei Ruohua, "What do you think?"

Mei Ruohua bit her lip lightly and said, "It would be Ruohua’s honor to serve Immortal Master Li!"

Li Chen smiled indifferently and said, "You, with your Half-step Innate cultivation, are too weak. Even bringing you along would be a burden!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Mei Ruohua felt an itch in her teeth from anger. You must know that she was the Heavenly Pride Girl of Lingnan.

But she never expected to be rejected so coldly when offering to become someone’s maid. This was simply unbearable.

She clenched her teeth tightly and said, "Immortal Master Li, although Ruohua’s cultivation is weak, I believe I am more than capable of serving tea and water, making beds and sweeping floors!"

Li Chen knew she was speaking out of spite, and he smiled faintly, saying, "Buying jade requires a sum of silver, and I was in a hurry when I left, without bringing money. You prepare five billion for me, and I will help you enter the Transformation Realm!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, both Mei Jiuling and Mei Ruohua were shocked.

They did not doubt Immortal Master Li’s abilities at all. Besides, the Mei Family’s assets, with 51% of the shares, were in his hands. Even if he directly asked for ten billion, they would have to gather it as soon as possible.

"Immortal Master Li, are you serious with your words?" Mei Jiuling’s murky eyes were full of brightness, and even his voice trembled.

If Mei Ruohua could advance to the Grandmaster level, he would not worry about the Mei Family’s foundation being divided cleanly by other forces after his hundred years.

Therefore, not to mention five billion, even if Li Chen demanded fifty billion, he would find a way to get the money.

Li Chen smiled slightly and countered, "Do I look like I’m joking?"

Seeing that Li Chen was indeed not joking, Mei Jiuling eagerly asked, "May I ask Immortal Master Li, what preparations are needed, and when can you help Ruohua advance to the Grandmaster level?"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No preparations are needed; I can help her break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and advance to a Transformation Realm Master right now!"

"What, right now?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, both Mei Jiuling and Mei Ruohua were so astonished that their eyes widened in disbelief.
