Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 346

Chapter 346 Young and Powerful — and, Crucially, Cheap

Listening to Gao Pan explain the immortal path’s realms, many of the ascendants showed looks of envy.

At the same time, most of them were already brimming with confidence—they wanted to step into the true immortal realm and attain long life!

Who were they?

They were the First Fighters of their respective worlds, invincible figures who had fought through millions. Each possessed peerless talent!

Given enough time, becoming a true immortal would be nothing for them.

Seeing their expressions, a faint sneer surfaced deep in Gao Pan’s eyes.

It seemed to mock their overconfidence.

The sneer was well hidden and passed as quickly as it came, but Su Bai saw it all.

Gao Pan really had something wrong with him!!!

“Are there any ascendants under a thousand years old? If so, they can become core disciples of my Aoki Immortal Sect immediately.”

Gao Pan continued, seeming unwilling to waste more time.

Reaching the Heavenly Lord Realm before a thousand years old—even on Su Bai’s Continent—was extremely rare. Few possessed such peerless talent.

“Ascended before a thousand years old? What a joke!”

“I have endured two thousand three hundred years, slaughtered my rivals, and became the First Fighter of All Under Heaven. A thousand years? Never heard of it!”

“Although some of us are dazzling—geniuses among geniuses—reaching the Heavenly Lord Realm by a thousand years old? Impossible!”

Some shook their heads in disbelief.

After all, from the start they had swept aside countless peers as heaven’s chosen. If they themselves were so far from it, how could anyone possibly ascend before a thousand years?

At Gao Pan’s proposal, the crowd rustled, but no one stepped forward.

Clearly, this was not an ordinary threshold.

Seeing that none of the hundreds stepped out, Gao Pan frowned, inwardly cursing his luck.

This trip looked like it wouldn’t yield any benefit.

Fine—finish quickly and get it over with; he still had a date tonight…

“My name is Li Feiyang. I cultivated for eight hundred years.”

Just then, someone stood up.

He was a young man in blue robes, tall and upright, with handsome features and an otherworldly temperament.

When he spoke, everyone turned to look, eyes full of shock.

Ascended at just over eight hundred years old!

What terrifying talent!

A trace of delight showed in Gao Pan’s eyes.

This trip was worth it!

“All right, all right—Daoist Li, on behalf of the Aoki Immortal Sect, I welcome you.”

“This is the token of a core disciple of the Aoki Immortal Sect. Put it on; I’ll bring you to the sect shortly!”

Gao Pan put on an enthusiastic face, produced a green token, and handed it to Li Feiyang.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Gao.”

Li Feiyang took the token, a hint of joy on his face.

Beside him, Su Bai stared at the token, feeling that something about it was off.

“These are the identity tokens for inner disciples of the Aoki Immortal Sect. Put them on—if you don’t have a token, you can’t enter the sect!”

Gao Pan waved and hundreds of tokens flew out, dropping in front of each ascendant.

“Yes!”

The ascendants picked up the tokens and, one after another, put them around their necks in a showy manner.

By now, they accepted everything Gao Pan said without question.

They had no suspicions.

After all, most of them held great expectations for the Immortal Realm!!

As for “Su Bai,” he quietly observed from the side; because he dwelled in the Path of Concealment, as long as he made no move, no one could detect him.

Gao Pan was useless too!

Unless a true immortal showed up!

He did want to see what Gao Pan’s real aim was, after all!!

A moment later, Gao Pan swept his gaze across them and saw that every ascendant had put on that jade pendant.

His expression changed abruptly!

The smile on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a frigid glare.

“Daoist, there are five hundred and twenty-one ascendants here in total. Among them are three earthly immortals. You need to pay me five hundred and eighteen lower-grade immortal crystals, plus three intermediate-grade immortal crystals!”

Gao Pan’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, making everyone nearby tremble inwardly.

“Ha ha ha ha, no problem!!”

A middle-aged Immortal slowly stepped forward behind him; his strength equaled Gao Pan’s—he too was a heavenly immortal!

“One immortal crystal can buy a young rogue immortal to mine for my Wang clan for ten thousand years—how cheap!!”

The middle-aged man sneered.

Boom!

With a grand hand motion he produced a storage ring that emitted a brilliant silver light into his palm.

In an instant, boundless immortal power surged within it, releasing a roaring immortal qi.

“That should be enough, right, Daoist Gao?”

He set the storage ring before Gao Pan and, looking at the more than five hundred ascendants before him, his face glowed with intense excitement.

These are all top-tier miners!

Young, and able to live ten thousand years!

And their strength is solid—mining speed will surely be high!

For immortal crystal mines, cultivators below the rank of rogue immortal simply lack the strength to extract them!

Buying rogue-immortal servants from major sects is not only exorbitant but those recruits are usually older and won’t last long.

Ascendants are different: young, powerful, and—crucially—cheap!

Gao Pan took the storage ring, looked at the immortal crystals inside, and couldn’t help laughing aloud.

“Daoist Wang, a pleasure doing business!”

He reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged heavenly immortal, his smile growing even brighter.

Ascendants require no cultivation investment!

Seize an ascension dais and a constant stream of ascendants will arrive, becoming their free laborers!

That’s pure, gleaming immortal crystal right there!

Although this ascension dais wasn’t his—he only managed it—just the commission alone was substantial!

Ascendants: ?????

Seeing this sudden turn of events, the hundreds of ascendants were all stunned.

It seemed like… they had been sold?

What was going on?

Weren’t they supposed to go to the Aoki Immortal Sect?

What is this mining business?

The ascendants were first taken aback, then one by one flared up in anger.

“I was the Sword God of the mortal world—me, digging mines? Dream on!”

“Heh, I was the first unified emperor of the world—ask me to mine?”

“Well well, so this is the Immortal Realm?”

“Damn it, I’m afraid of nothing and no one—what nerve you have!”

“Kill! Kill, kill!! Kill, kill, kill!!!”

……………

In an instant, the group of ascendants were furious.

Which of these ascendants wasn’t a peerless genius in the mortal world?

Which wasn’t a Heaven’s Chosen One who swept across an entire realm?

Which wasn’t an invincible war god who had never tasted defeat?

Each one was the chosen child of their realm’s destiny—the First Fighter of a great realm for thousands of years!!

Usually, others fawned over them, flattering them, looking up to them from on high, overlooking the firmament.

Now they’d been reduced to slaves digging other people’s mines—how could they bear it?

Who had ever endured such humiliation?

If they could endure it??
