Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

Zhou Li laughed and said, “How do you want to watch? Of course, just stand here and watch.” The others were stunned for a moment before bursting into loud laughter, joking that Zhou was quite humorous. Zhou Li continued, “Has Wu the Madman ever looked at the pills of a few of you?”

“No, he hasn’t,” someone replied. People had already been watching from the side, and Wu Feng had never even opened the jade bottle to look at the pills.

Zhou Li let out an “Oh” and said, “So Wu the Madman made a judgment without even looking at the pills? Wu the Madman has really gained some courage. The new students just arrived and are already causing trouble for the newcomers. Or do you think, Wu the Madman, that we old students are all blind and can’t distinguish between good and bad pills? In that case, let me be the judge, so the new students won’t think we’re just reckless.”

“Yes, Zhou Li is right. Let’s witness this together with Zhou Li. Wu Feng, do you agree? Do the other junior brothers and sisters agree?” The onlookers, who had been drawn in, cheered. They were really just here to watch the spectacle, not to care who would win in the end.

Wu Feng had a mediocre reputation among the old students. Sometimes, he acted stubbornly and was single-minded, never turning back until he hit a wall. So, privately, some people had given him the nickname “Wu the Madman.” However, those weaker than him didn’t dare to call him that, but Zhou Li had no such scruples and called him “Wu the Madman” to his face, making Wu Feng seethe with anger but too afraid to speak up.

Wu Feng was extremely annoyed. Zhou Li seemed to be involved in everything, but he didn’t believe he would lose. He said loudly, “As long as they dare to nod, what’s there for me to be afraid of?”

Tian Feirong suddenly slammed the table and shouted, “Good! The senior brothers have agreed, so how can the junior brothers be afraid? It’s settled. Let Zhou Li and these senior brothers and sisters come and authenticate the pills’ authenticity and grade.”

Everyone could tell that Tian Feirong’s voice carried excitement, and there was not a trace of fear or worry on his face. Some wondered if these pills were real. If they were, where did this guy get them from? If the pills were genuine, they’d better act quickly, since their price was slightly lower than those sold in the academy.

This was because Tian Feirong and the chubby guy had inquired around this commercial street, knowing the price others were selling at. Based on that, they slightly lowered their price for their own products. As long as they could establish a good reputation, raising the price later would be no problem.

Zhou Li said, “Alright,” and walked forward. A charming female cultivator beside him covered her lips and smiled. “Then I’ll join in on the fun as well.” Judging by the way others looked at her, it was clear that this alluring female cultivator held a high position in the academy.

Three people came in total. Zhou Li, leading the group, opened the first bottle of pills and poured them into his palm. The pills spun around for a moment, and Zhou Li immediately raised his voice and said, “Good! High-quality Revitalizing Pills!”

The enchanting female cultivator opened the second bottle, giving a charming smile and saying, “These are high-quality Qi-Boosting Pills.”

The third male cultivator casually picked up the third bottle and laughed aloud, “Haha, high-quality Qi-Recovery Pills! Good, good! I’ll take them all, as many as you have!”

“You fool, when did it become your turn to take everything? Do you think Zhou Li and I don’t exist?” the charming female cultivator scolded.

“Impossible!” Wu Feng shouted, stunned. “This can’t be happening! Ah, I see, you three have been looking down on me, joining forces to fool me, right?”

The surrounding students burst into laughter. Who was Wu Feng, that these three and the new students would team up to trick him? Moreover, they had all seen how the pills were poured out of the bottles and what they looked like. Just by the fragrance and appearance, they could tell they were high-quality pills. In the end, Wu Feng couldn’t accept losing, making a fool of himself and embarrassing the older students!

“Quick, hurry up and bite the table! Don’t lose face!”

“Not only bullying the new students, but even when he loses, he won’t admit it. As expected, it’s Wu the Madman!”

One mocking voice after another and the derisive glances made Wu Feng so furious and embarrassed that he roared and fled. The two female cultivators who had been stopped by Wu Feng earlier also felt ashamed. They had actually doubted the pills’ authenticity because of Wu Feng’s words. Now that he had run off, they were also left embarrassed and regretted having listened to him. They hated Wu Feng deeply.

There were five or six different kinds of pills displayed. In front of everyone, the three people performing the identification bought the pills. Tian Feirong very tactfully gave them a 20% discount, a special discount only for them, while the others were sold at the original price. He secretly winked at Zhou Li, thinking he was much more generous than Zhou Li—Zhou only offered a 2% discount.

Look how generous he was—20% off!

“I’ll take one! Give me a bottle of Revitalizing Pills. Last time I was injured, I used mid-grade Revitalizing Pills, but they still haven’t fully healed!”

“Give me a bottle of Qi-Boosting Pills. My cultivation hasn’t increased much lately, and high-quality Qi-Boosting Pills will definitely make a difference!”

“I’ll take the Qi-Recovery Pills. I’m going on a mission in a couple of days, and I can’t do without them!”

In no time at all, all the pills on the table and in the storage bags were sold out. Seeing the disappointed looks on everyone’s faces, Tian Feirong quickly said, “I’ll continue setting up shop here in the future. Be sure to come early tomorrow! If the pills are gone, we’ll still have high-quality spirit talismans. Look at me, my cultivation is so weak—do you really think I’d fool my senior brothers and sisters? If I dared to deceive you, I’d be afraid you’d tear me apart.”

“Haha, the junior brother makes a good point. Let’s just take a look.”

When they looked, they found the spirit talismans were indeed of good quality. Within a quarter of an hour, all the talismans were sold out as well. Bai Xiu’er, who was watching nearby, was left dumbfounded. This spirit stone was too easy to earn! However, she had also benefitted. Some of the onlookers, drawn by the sweet scent of the flower cakes, had casually bought a few pieces to try. With each person taking a piece, the sales quickly added up. She had truly not expected that the business would go so smoothly on the first day.

Not far away, on the upper floor of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, two people were leaning by the window, observing the scene below.

“Brother Jiang, are these the junior brothers you were keeping an eye on? I didn’t expect them to make Wu the Madman trip up so soon. Wu the Madman really embarrassed himself. Which junior brother brewed these high-quality pills? Or do they have their own sources?”

Jiang Yan smiled and looked at Su Pingyan beside him, clapping his hands. “One of them brewed them himself. I just wonder when the Pill Peak will notice. Wu the Madman got what he deserved; he walked right into it.”

Su Pingyan had a mediocre opinion of Pill Peak and said, “Maybe they think the same as Wu the Madman. Why doesn’t Brother Jiang pull them into our chamber of commerce? High-quality pills like that—those arrogant fellows at Pill Peak might not even be able to brew them.”

Jiang Yan tilted his head toward the stall and said, “How do you know if they would want to be under someone else’s roof?”

Su Pingyan looked at Brother Jiang in disbelief. The reputation of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce was so strong. Not to mention the new students, even the old students were eager to join, pushing each other to get in. If word got out that someone wasn’t willing to join the chamber, they’d be ridiculed for overestimating themselves.

But since it was Brother Jiang’s decision, they couldn’t oppose it.

“Junior Sister Bai, you can sell at your own pace. We’ll pack up first.”

After bidding farewell to Bai Xiu’er, the four of them left the stall. It was only at this point that Gu Yao gave Tian Feirong a thumbs up.

“I didn’t expect Second Brother Tian to be such a skilled businessman. Second Brother Tian has really kept his talents hidden.”

Tian Feirong, rarely feeling shy, humbly said, “Oh, no, no, it’s nothing special.” He was immediately met with a big eye roll from the chubby boy.

Then, his expression became serious, and he said, “Brother Zhou passed me a message before he left, telling us to be cautious of that Wu the Madman. That guy is obviously someone who will never admit his mistakes. He probably hates us now, and we don’t know how he’ll try to get back at us or make things difficult for us in the future.”

Gu Yao and Chi Changye exchanged glances. Gu Yao nodded and said, “We should take this seriously. First, we need to find out what kind of person Wu the Madman is and how powerful his influence is in the academy, so we can handle it properly.”

“We’ll take care of this,” the chubby boy spoke up.

With that, the conversation shifted. Since they didn’t know the situation yet, there was no need to worry unnecessarily. It was the grand opening today, so the four of them went shopping for some spiritual herbs and then headed straight to the cafeteria in the outer courtyard. They ordered several dishes to celebrate, and after eating and drinking to their fill, they slowly walked back to their small courtyard.

Once the formation in the courtyard was activated, Gu Yao and Chi Changye both glanced behind them. They exchanged a knowing look, and Gu Yao said, “Second Brother Tian, Chubby, we’ve already been targeted. Either Wu the Madman or someone interested in our pills and talismans has set their sights on us. We need to be extra careful when we go out from now on.”

Although the academy had rules against internal fights and required conflicts to be resolved in the arena, the academy was so large that it wasn’t possible to monitor every single place. No one could predict what might happen out of sight.

Tian Feirong and the chubby boy nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, we’ll be careful. It seems we need to gather information quickly. Actually, there are places in the academy where you can buy information.”

If things got tough, they could use spirit stones to buy information. Spirit stones were important, but safety was even more crucial.

Meanwhile, someone ran over to Wu Feng and whispered, “Brother Wu, I’ve found out about them. These four people entered the academy together and act as a group. They’re currently living in Area C. I don’t think it’s a big deal. Who would stay in such a place if they had spirit stones? What’s unclear is where they got their pills and talismans from. Looks like Brother Wu took a big loss.”

Someone else said, “Have you forgotten who brought them into the academy? It was Zhou Li. I think Zhou Li is behind this. Isn’t Zhou Li just a dog for Jiang Yan? If they want to get high-quality pills, it’s not hard at all.”

What they feared wasn’t Zhou Li, but Jiang Yan behind him, and the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, which Jiang Yan was connected to. That was the largest chamber of commerce in the academy, and it even expanded its business outside the academy. Their ability to gather wealth was so impressive that even the academy’s teachers were envious, yet no one dared to make a move against them.

Wu Feng clenched his fist, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly enraged. “I’ll find a chance to teach them a lesson. I don’t care if they were instigated by Zhou Li. When new students come in, they should behave themselves. Who gave them the guts to provoke us?”

This viewpoint won the approval of some others. After all, they had worked their way up slowly. When they first entered, they had to endure hardship and bow their heads, but now, seeing these new students doing what they couldn’t, they were understandably furious.
