Crossing the Two Realms: From a Trader to an Immortal Emperor - Chapter 13

Liu Qiang, the landlord, was a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, a level that Chen Le’an couldn’t yet challenge.

It was better to buy some life-saving items first.

So, he picked up the phone again and dialed the number of the Manager Pang.

On the other end of the line, the Manager Pang’s voice sound with a hint of delight. “Hello? Is this Master Chen? How may I assist you?”

Helping Chen Le’an buy things these past few times had gave him a tidy profit.

“I want an RPG rocket launcher, a Gatling gun that shoots blue flames, a Barrett sniper rifle, a grenade launcher…” Chen Le’an listed off a series of jaw-dropping weapon names.

The Manager Pang froze when he heard this. He wondered if he had misheard. “Master, are you joking? We don’t have those!”

“How much? Name your price!” Chen Le’an replied.

The Manager Pang sighed, shaking his head. “Master, this isn’t something that can be solved with money. These items, in Yudu, are mostly controlled by a mysterious figure, except for the military.”

“Maybe something like grenades, we could find a way to get, but RPGs, Barretts—those kinds of weapons, they simply won’t sell them.”

“Plus, that person is a cultivator, capable of taking a life with just a flick of a hand!”

“They say he’s the number one expert in Yudu, at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation!”

The Manager Pang continued to try to discourage him.

Chen Le’an, however, felt at ease.

A great expert at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation?

What was that compared to his own ninth level of Qi Cultivation?

A giant expert?

“Then take me to see him!” Chen Le’an stated flatly.

The Manager Pang hesitated for a moment.

After all, that person’s influence was not something he could afford to provoke.

“Just take me there. I’ll pay you ten million as a reward.”

Chen Le’an’s voice was filled with an undeniable, domineering tone.

In the spiritual energy world, I am cautious and deferential; in this mundane world, I strike hard!

Ten million?!

The Manager Pang’s eyes gleamed, and his small eyes seemed to grow a little wider.

He immediately nodded enthusiastically, his face filled with smiles.

“Got it, Master! Tomorrow, that person has a birthday banquet. We’ll go together.”

Chen Le’an nodded in satisfaction, already thinking about how to negotiate with the mysterious figure.

What could he use to trade for the weapons he needed?

The spiritual medicines were all used up.

Ordinary herbs probably wouldn’t be of much use.

His eyes scanned the room and finally stopped at the electronic alchemy furnace.

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he picked up a bottle of mineral water and briefly rinsed the alchemy furnace.

Then, he filled the bottle with the rinse water.

The water contained the essence of body tempering liquid, exuding a trace of spiritual energy.

Although this amount of spiritual energy was less than one percent of what he needed for cultivation, in this age of spiritual energy scarcity, it was considered a rare commodity.

In this world where spiritual energy was in short supply, it was something one could encounter only by chance.

He didn’t believe that the mysterious person wouldn’t be moved by offering this body tempering liquid as a trade!

…

The next day, sunlight gently streamed through the thin clouds, casting a warm glow on the earth. By midday, the air was filled with a lazy and comfortable atmosphere.

The Manager Pang drove his brand-new Porsche, elegant and swift like a leopard ready to pounce, smoothly coming to a stop in front of Chen Le’an.

The car gleamed under the sun, catching the attention of passersby.

“Whoa, have you hit the jackpot? Got a new car?” Chen Le’an teased with a playful smile.

“Haha, Master, it’s all thanks to you!” The Manager Pang smiled broadly, his eyes squinting into slits, both sincere and somewhat flattering.

“Since meeting you, my luck has skyrocketed!”

After Chen Le’an leisurely got in the car and settled in, the Manager Pang’s demeanor instantly turned serious, as if he had become a different person. “Master, the person we’re meeting today is a true big shot, Old Master Zhang Qian. They say his strength is unfathomable.”

At this point, the Manager Pang deliberately paused, then lowered his voice to continue, “Why ‘they say’? Because those lucky enough to see him in action have all been permanently silenced. In the underground world of Yudu, he is the absolute ruler. One word from him, and the winds and clouds will change.”

“What’s even more amazing is that this person is not only powerful in the underworld, but also influential in the white world. He owns 90% of the pharmacies in the city. Calling him the king of the pharmaceutical empire would not be an exaggeration. The power behind him is enough to make one shudder.”

The Manager Pang kept speaking, his words full of awe.

In response to his description, Chen Le’an simply smiled indifferently.

The Manager Pang drove the car as if riding the wind, speeding along, and soon came to a steady stop in front of a mansion in the suburbs.

The place was already filled with various luxury cars.

With the Manager Pang’s status, he was not qualified to drive into the estate.

They had to walk in from the gate.

Chen Le’an curiously surveyed the estate.

Once inside, the first thing that greeted him was a wide, straight avenue lined with towering ancient trees on both sides, their branches thick with leaves, forming a natural green barrier that shielded the outside world and added a sense of tranquility and mystery.

At the end of the avenue stood a grand mansion, its architectural style blending classical and modern beauty. The outer walls were paved with expensive marble, shining in the sunlight. Each window was like a finely crafted piece of art, exuding elegance and luxury.

It took almost ten minutes to walk from the gate to the mansion!

Was this the simple life of the wealthy?

Chen Le’an was amazed.

However, all these things were now within his reach.

The estate was already crowded with people.

The Manager Pang led Chen Le’an through the thick crowd with his round body and agile movements.

They made their way forward and finally arrived at the front, where the gifts were being registered.

The Manager Pang took out a piece of jade, crystal clear and warm to the touch, emitting a faint glow. Its price was surely not cheap. He carefully handed it over for registration.

Just as Chen Le’an was about to take out his own gift to register, a familiar, harsh voice suddenly rang out.

“Chen Le’an! How dare you come here?!”

The voice was filled with surprise and disdain, as if Chen Le’an’s presence was a great insult to the event.

Chen Le’an turned toward the voice and saw a man in a designer suit, with a cold expression on his face, stepping out of the crowd. It was his former boss, Liu Feng. Unfortunately, his head was still bandaged.

He looked a little ridiculous.

Beside him was Bai Fengjiao.

However, in the face of Liu Feng’s provocation, Chen Le’an’s expression didn’t change at all.

He glanced at Liu Feng with indifference, a slight sneer on his lips. “Oh? So it’s Mr. Liu. I didn’t expect to run into you here. What’s wrong? Haven’t you been beaten enough?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng’s face immediately turned pale with anger.

The surrounding crowd began to take notice, casting curious glances at the scene.

Though Liu Feng was boiling with rage, he couldn’t make a scene due to the occasion.

Moreover, he was no match with Chen Le’an!
