"Plop!" A splash of cold pond water. Luo Qian cursed angrily, "Damn it, the set of 700 standard immortal jade is ruined!"
"Mom, why is that uncle taking a shower in the fountain?" a cute little girl held her mother's hand and pointed at Luo Qian, who was standing in the fountain of the city square, dripping wet. The crowd was bustling, and Luo Qian was in the winter of the human world!
...
The reason why Luo Qian can freely enter and exit the immortal realm without being detected is that he possesses a special skill that allows him to secretly enter the immortal realm. Luo Qian is a rare and unfortunate immortal seed in the immortal realm for five thousand years: the Tribulation Immortal. Tribulation Immortals have a nickname in the immortal realm, called "Salted Fish Immortal". The reason for this nickname is that after ascending, Tribulation Immortals are very weak for a long time, so weak that they may not be able to advance from the second-level immortal to the third-level immortal for three hundred years.
However, for every five hundred tribulations, tribulation immortals face one tribulation. After overcoming the tribulation, they can "turn their fortunes around", and their strength may even surpass the cultivation of ordinary immortal cultivators who have practiced hard for five hundred years! The opportunity to turn their fortunes around in five hundred years is not easy. The immortal realm is not safe, and most tribulation immortals disappear before they can wait for that moment.
Those who enter the Tao through martial arts are known as Xuanxian, representing the highest talent in martial arts among all immortal races in the immortal realm. Those who enter the Tao through magical arts are referred to as Lingxian, signifying the highest talent in magical arts among all immortal races in the immortal realm. Those who enter the Tao through ghostly bodies are known as Hunxian, while those who enter the Tao through demonic bodies are referred to as Yaoxian. Both of these immortal races, in terms of both martial arts and magical arts talent, are inferior to the Xuanxian and Lingxian immortal races.
In addition, there is the legendary "True Immortal", whose martial prowess is on par with the Profound Immortal and whose magical skills are on par with the Spiritual Immortal. Such an individual is rarely seen in a thousand years!
There are also some relatively rare immortal races, such as Tribulation Immortals and Virtuous Immortals. The reason for the emergence of Tribulation Immortals is unknown, but they are even rarer than True Immortals. This is because Tribulation Immortals are almost useless before the great tribulation in five hundred years, so each Tribulation Immortal will receive a compensation from heaven. It could be a life-saving immortal technique, an immortal artifact that can defeat enemies, or even a magical cave abode. Luo Qian's compensation was this secret technique that allows him to enter the immortal realm without being detected. It is precisely because of this secret technique that he dares to engage in smuggling without fear.
As for De Xian, it refers to those who enter the Tao through virtue. People with noble character can also become immortal. There have been many legends since ancient times, such as stories of selfless people being taken to heaven by golden dragons. De Xian has a very high realm, but their combat strength is extremely weak. However, because of their high realm, they are a very prominent type of immortal in the immortal realm. In the four-level bureaucratic system of the immortal realm, which includes palaces, platforms, courtyards, and supervisory offices, De Xian hold one-third of the positions.
...
In City A, a renowned electronic mall, Luo Qian, who had changed into a cheap Zino Davidoff casual wear, was red-faced and furious as he roared at the shop owner, "This is the latest energy-saving technology you promised? Damn it, it didn't even last for four hours! I demand a refund!"
"Returning goods?" The female stall owner, who looked exactly like Sister Furong, seemed to be looking at the guest who had arrived on Earth from Mars. "Why don't you go and ask around? In this area of shops, when has my sister Han Pang ever returned goods? Look, look!" Her round fingers, like sausages, snapped a worn paper sign: "Goods sold, no returns or exchanges! In black and white..."
Luo Qian is a smuggler, not a scolding shrew. He turned around and walked away, circling the doorstep of the house. With a strange gait, he set up a simple first-class immortal formation at the doorstep of the stout and fat lady: the Flowing Water Formation. Money flows like water, going east and never returning. This is a simple wealth-dispensing formation. Although even the bones in the mouth of the guard dog of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the immortal realm cannot be dispersed, in the human realm, this is a veritable immortal formation! Damn, is an immortal formation to be trifled with? Luo Qian spat fiercely, "You sold me inferior products! Damn it, even smugglers have their reputation. How dare you sell fakes..."
Luo Qian left in frustration. Several invisible air currents circled around the originally bustling shop twice, and then a breeze-like wind blew out of the door. The customers who were discussing several large orders suddenly felt that the products of this shop were not very good, and they all got up to leave. The fat woman tried to stop them with both hands and feet: "It was just a misunderstanding. That person is a scoundrel who often swindles people in the market. We sell him good goods, but he changes them into bad ones when he goes out, and even asks us to refund. Only I can deal with him. What I said is true..."
Unfortunately, the immortal formation had already begun to take effect. Those people left not because of her scolding earlier, but because they no longer valued their goods. The fierce woman angrily cursed, "It's all because of that little red devil!"
Luo Qian didn't have time to tangle with the fat woman. Every hour he stayed in the human world increased the danger. The people from the Imperial Investigation Bureau were not to be trifled with. If they discovered him, with his level of a First-Level Immortal, he wouldn't even be able to withstand the first blow from the Kunlong Whisk.
In the realm of immortal officials, there are nine ranks, and in the realm of immortals, there are nine levels. The lower the rank, the higher the official position, and the more levels, the stronger the immortal. A first-level immortal... basically, anyone who can ascend can attain a first-level immortal status.
Luo Qian owns property in this city, but he doesn't have an ID card or household registration book. But what does it matter? There are many houses in the city that were converted from urban villages. You can live there after paying the money and getting the keys. Although you don't have property rights, it's cheap. Luo Qian doesn't plan to sell it, which saves him some expenses.
The room was empty except for a row of quick chargers that caught the eye the most. Luo Qian took out several high-capacity batteries and plugged them into the array of chargers. Then, he cradled his head and flung himself onto a comfortable recliner beside him. Although Luo Qian was a profiteer, he was not a Grantaire. He paid close attention to his own lifestyle. This recliner had the latest design, soft and comfortable. The world-renowned concept furniture chain store had charged him $3,000 for it.
Lying on the S-shaped recliner, Luo Qian comfortably stretched his body and lazily muttered to himself, "Life is like this, why bother becoming an immortal?" Thinking about his own journey to becoming an immortal, Luo Qian's good mood dissipated. He sat up from the recliner and sighed, "Forget it, I'd rather think about what I can sell to make money..."
Luo Qian's gaze fell on the chair beneath him, and he had a brainstorm: "How could I have been so stupid as not to think of such a ready-made good thing?"
Furniture - While the furniture in the immortal realm is certainly aesthetically pleasing, when it comes to practicality and comfort, it falls far short compared to the human realm. Humans are truly a lazy species. Immortals also need to cultivate, and even more fervently than cultivators. Cultivation requires sitting, sometimes for years on end. Even immortal bodies can't stand it; back pain and soreness have become occupational diseases among immortals. If there were a massage chair, the immortal realm would surely be perfect in the eyes of cultivation enthusiasts.
Luo Qian felt that this deal was definitely worth doing, but soon he furrowed his brow again. A very practical problem loomed before him: he couldn't possibly carry a huge massage chair to the immortal realm.
The items in the human realm are considered "vulgar", and the larger the item, the more vulgar it becomes. The Qinji Supervision Bureau has specialized immortal artifacts to monitor the entire nine realms of the immortal realm. As soon as any vulgarity appears in the human realm, it will be immediately detected. Luo Qian has some pitiful immortal spirit qi on him, which can cover up small items like computers and CDs. However, if he were to fly to the immortal realm with such a large item as a massage chair, he would be immediately arrested and punished on the spot by the Qinji Supervision Bureau.
The Heaven and Earth Bag? If Luo Qian had such a high-level treasure, would he still need to smuggle?
The Qiankun Bag is a supreme treasure in the immortal realm. Even among the high-ranking officials in charge of the nine realms of the immortal realm, few first-grade immortal officials possess it.
However, this minor issue was naturally not a challenge for Luo Qian, a first-level immortal who aspired to become the top smuggler in the immortal realm. He had already thought of a solution. Looking at the battery on the charger, which still needed an hour to fully charge, he pulled open the door and rushed to the supermarket.
"Hey, hey!" As soon as I stepped out, I encountered an elderly lady with quick and agile movements, who was able to grab Luo Qian, an immortal, and said, "Pay the electricity bill!" Looking at the constantly climbing numbers on his electricity meter, Luo Qian thought to himself, "It seems like I need to raise the charging standards for the electricity project!"
After handing the lady a few hundred yuan, Luo Qian quickly made his escape. Smuggling also required efficiency. Every time he descended to the mortal realm, after deducting the time spent on the road, he used the time it took to charge his battery to purchase goods. This time, he had already wasted quite a bit of time at the fat woman's place. If he didn't hurry up, he wouldn't be able to return before his battery was fully charged. Staying even a minute longer was dangerous. Luo Qian knew full well the terrifying power of the Qin Jijian—in fact, at his current level, he could see the "red name" on the head of any creature in the immortal realm.
Not far from his human world stronghold, there was a large supermarket. Luo Qian strolled around the supermarket and easily found a massage chair in the electrical appliances section.
"Miss, would you mind trying it out?" Seeing the salesperson's puzzled expression, he hurriedly explained, "Oh, it's for my parents." The salesperson immediately put on a warm smile and said, "Welcome, you're more than welcome. You can give it a try. It's very comfortable." Luo Qian sat down, but he felt uneasy. It wasn't because of the chair, but because of the salesperson's words. It felt as if he was receiving some kind of sexual service. He glanced at the salesperson and almost vomited. He deeply regretted having such evil thoughts!
After trying out some chairs, Luo Qian picked out one with a moderate price and performance. It's not that he can't afford expensive ones. Businessmen all understand that products need to be updated and replaced, otherwise how can they achieve "a steady stream of income"? If everyone buys one of your products, the market will become saturated.
Smuggling is the same. Luo Qian first buys the ordinary ones, and then gradually upgrades the quality. [repanso.com] Baidu Cloud Search Engine, find novels, find movies, and follow dramas.
"How much is this? ... Hmm, can you make it cheaper? ... No? No bargaining? Why not? ... Supermarket? Supermarkets can't bargain? Places where people can't bargain all have a sign that clearly states 'No counteroffer, no need to speak'. You don't have such a sign, so why can't we bargain? ... Clearly marked prices? If the price you marked is unacceptable to me, can't we discuss it? ..."
Finally, the salesgirl decided to report to her supervisor, and the brand's massage chairs would be offered at a discount for immediate promotion
Luo Qian picked up his massage chair with satisfaction, and the salesgirl opened her mouth in surprise. That was not a beach folding chair.
Luo Qian carried the bulky massage chair all the way back to his base. The old lady who had forgotten to collect the water fee just now swallowed hard, feeling that the money could wait and there was no urgency to collect it.
Holding the massage chair with one hand and using a key to open the door, Luo Qian rummaged through a cabinet and retrieved a compact toolbox. With a screwdriver and pliers in hand, he finally dismantled the massage chair before the battery was fully charged - yes, that was his plan: to disassemble it and bring it up in several parts.
Dozens of batteries and some scattered parts of the massage chair, Luo Qian packed them into a bag using his own suit from the fairy realm, slung it over his shoulder, and prepared to head back.
In recent years, there have been many people who have ascended to the immortal realm. The cloth workshop in the immortal realm has also timely launched immortal western suits, which have been quite popular. When Luo Qian was in the club before, he envied the "big brothers" with certain status in the club who wore black suits and black sunglasses, but he didn't have the money to buy them at that time. Upon arriving in the immortal realm, he immediately got himself a set.
This set of suits, imitating the world-renowned brand Armani, is produced by the renowned ready-to-wear workshop "Yuanyi Workshop" in the immortal realm. The backstage boss of Yuanyi Workshop is none other than the Yuanyuan Hall of Du Lengning's father.
The pattern for the suits was smuggled up from the human world by Luo Qian. The two had a good working relationship, and for the first time, Luo Qian didn't charge any money, but he did ask for four black, three blue, and seven sets of clothes. The unified retail price for each suit in the immortal world is seven hundred standard divine coins.
Taking a deep breath, he forcefully held it in, and "bang!" a sound explosion echoed in the air. The air caved in, and Luo Qian had vanished.
At the same time, somewhere in the immortal realm, an immortal fell upside down. With a cry of surprise, Luo Qian hurriedly used his unskilled first-level immortal technique, "Leaping Through the Air," to stabilize his body. After identifying the direction, he flew towards his Fushan Cave residence.
Although Fushan is a shantytown in the immortal realm, even the most dilapidated immortal mountain is richer in immortal spirit energy than a level 4 immortal. That's why the mundane items Luo Qian keeps in the company's storage room haven't been discovered.
Opening his cave abode, Luo Qian hastily placed everything into the storage room. Then, he sat down at his desk, preparing to craft "communication talismans" to notify his clients to come and collect their goods. As he sat at the desk, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Damn it, I forgot to buy a computer..."
The old computer is definitely inadequate. Given the battery's condition, it's likely that this computer isn't much better. For a business person, customer information is crucial. Luo Qian doesn't want to see his hard-earned customer information disappear if the computer suddenly crashes one day.
After carving the telecommunication talisman and infusing it with immortal spirit energy, the talisman automatically flew towards its target. Luo Qian sat comfortably in his cave abode and continued to craft telecommunication talismans. Perhaps they weren't needed at the moment, but once he had assembled the massage chair, he planned to engage in a major business activity: an auction. At that time, he would notify all his buyers, and anyone who was interested could come and bid. This was the first massage chair in the immortal realm!
The summoning talisman worked its magic in a flash, and soon Ling Xiaose and Du Lengning arrived one after another. They collected their belongings, settled the final payment, and Luo Qian tidied up everything. After making several trips, he brought up all the other parts of the massage chair.
"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed in the air as Luo Qian returned. This was the last trip, and all the parts had been brought up. The rest was just assembly. Looking around, he saw a vast expanse of white mist, which even an immortal's vision could not penetrate. Luo Qian was not worried. The immortal world was ever-changing, and such puzzles were countless. He casually drew out a strand of immortal spirit qi, muttered a spell, and said, "Discriminate!" The immortal spirit qi condensed into the shape of a wooden stick, which spun twice in front of him but failed to point out a direction.
Luo Qian was taken aback: Although his Way Finding Technique was only a first-level immortal technique, it had always been infallible in the past, easily leading him to find his way out of mazes. What was happening today? He tried again, chanted the incantation, and cast the immortal technique, but the Way Finding Technique still couldn't find a way out.
Luo Qian let out a miserable cry, "No way! I've been carefree in the human realm, and now you want me to become an immortal? I became an immortal and ended up as the most useless Tribal Immortal. I finally managed to do some small business and barely reached a comfortable life, and now I've fallen into the realm of death! God, are you playing with me?"
With his loud cry, a dense mist suddenly emerged from the white fog, engulfing Luo Qian like a trap from the outside in. His vision became blurry, and he unconsciously fainted. A sturdy old man stepped out of the mist, looked at Luo Qian on the ground, sighed, and said kindly, "Child, it turns out you are also a Tribulation Transcender."
After some thought, he stretched out his hand and placed it on his back, then casually emitted a stream of immortal spirit qi, which condensed into a purple dragon pattern in the air. The dragon's mouth opened, and its tongue flicked in one direction, indicating the way for the old man. If any other immortal were present, they would surely be astonished, because this simple gesture of the old man was actually the Tier 9 immortal technique "Dragon's Guidance", which required at least the cultivation of a Tier 9 immortal to execute! The ease with which the old man executed it could only be described with one word: unfathomable!
