"How does that saying go, abstaining from eating is fake literary man."
"Who said it?"
"I did." Jiang Buping quickly took off his clothes, then nonchalantly released his true cultivation as he saw the brothel manager coming to reprimand him, and tossed the clothes at the manager: "I’m done here, no need to settle wages, it’s a gift for you."
He then looked at Chen Qiu.
"Let’s go, enough of this nonsense, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you."
However, the next mont—
"Smack!"
Only to see the brothel manager slap Jiang Buping on the back of his head, simultaneously revealing the peak cultivation of a "Daluo Golden Immortal", yelling angrily: "What are you pretending for, a Golden Immortal of the early stage? Do you think you can fool everyone by playing weak?"
"Even though you’ve hidden your cultivation all these years, your true cultivation is still lacking!"
"Do you know what my cultivation is?!"
"Pretending to be a calf here?"
"Without so skills, could I have managed this brothel?"
"..."
Jiang Buping did not turn around, he silently looked at Chen Qiu: "When a tiger is down, dogs might bully it, scare him for , consider it as owing you a favor."
"Tsk."
Chen Qiu chuckled lightly and snapped his fingers, releasing without any concealnt the cultivation belonging to the "First Level Immortal Lord", even though only a fraction was leaked, the magnificent aura still enveloped the entire city above.
For a mont.
Everyone inside the city uncontrollably fell to the ground, looking terrified and shocked toward Chen Qiu, while the main bearer of the aura, the brothel manager, was already flat on the ground with a pale face, eyes full of disbelief and despair, trembling to speak.
"Se... Senior."
"I was ignorant..."
"Being ignorant is just right." Jiang Buping sighed lightly, squatted down and patted the head of the brothel manager: "Originally my departure was supposed to be so perfect, a big shot concealing his identity as a madam in a brothel, eventually revealing his identity and leaving casually, but you seem to not be giving much face."
"Not going to kill him?"
Chen Qiu looked at Jiang Buping who was preparing to leave.
"Why kill him?"
Jiang Buping shook his head: "There’s no grudge between us, we’ve gotten along fairly well over these years, even though he often has a foul mouth, he needs to control his people, being too soft definitely won’t work, it’s normal, understandable."
"He’s quite dedicated, besides cultivating to such a level isn’t easy, it’d be a pity if he died."
"Let’s go."
"..."
They didn’t leave the city, just walked into a private room in a tavern.
"Speak."
Chen Qiu sipped his wine before looking at Jiang Buping: "You said you had sothing to discuss earlier, didn’t you?"
"Ahem... actually it’s nothing."
Jiang Buping rubbed the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "What business could I have with you, but at that ti I was making my exit, a big shot friend ca looking for , saying I had sothing to discuss then makes seem a bit more prestigious, doesn’t it?"
"Never mind."
Chen Qiu didn’t mind, he just took out a storage ring and tossed it onto the table: "I actually have so business with you, inside this storage ring is the body you’ve always wanted back, I’m returning it to you today."
"Hm?"
Jiang Buping was stunned on the spot, only after a while did he react, picking up the storage ring and probing inside with divine sense, finding that indeed his own body was inside, he remained silent for a while before lifting his head to look at Chen Qiu.
"Actually, all along, even until now, I’ve not decided whether to retrieve my body and restore my cultivation. Once restoring cultivation, it ans I must stand on the sa front with you, fighting against the Heavenly Dao."
"If I don’t restore my cultivation, I can continue living muddle-headed like this for tens of thousands of years."
"That’s also why I let Miss Bai go at that ti."
"Just didn’t expect, you’d proactively return my body, seems you’re starting to build your own team for the battle a thousand years later, is this your official invitation for to join you?"
"Really quite a gamble."
Jiang Buping chuckled with a neutral expression, weighing the storage ring in his hand: "You really trust that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ve been lulling you all these years, once I regain my body and cultivation, I’ll show you my true colors?"
"To be honest, a bit moved."
"Perhaps this is the aning of companionship, is this your official recognition of ? For your recruitnt this ti, I will seriously consider..."
"Hold it!"
Chen Qiu expressionlessly raised a hand to stop Jiang Buping’s flight of fancy: "You’re overthinking, I neither ant to recruit you, nor do I absolutely trust you, I just think I can handle a Half-step Immortal Emperor right now."
"A Half-step Immortal Emperor is also hard to find."
"Returning your body, let’s have a fight; with my power growing so rapidly these years, I’m slightly lacking a clear concept of my own strength."
"If I can’t handle a Half-step Immortal Emperor, surviving the ’Eight Grade Heavenly Tribulation’ would be tough."
"You’re thinking of restoring power, hurry up and restore it, I’ll wait for you."
"..."
Jiang Buping looked at the storage ring in his hand, his face complex, remained silent for so ti before hoarsely saying: "You know there’s quite a few realms difference between a Half-step Immortal Emperor and ’First Level Immortal Lord’, right?"
"A Half-step Immortal Emperor is rely a peak Immortal Sovereign."
"Do you know the ans an Immortal Sovereign could deploy?"
"Do you realize I’m actually an Immortal Emperor, rely soone occupied the spot ahead of , as soon as that person steps down, anyti I could beco an Immortal Emperor, moreover, are you aware that my strength among Half-step Immortal Emperors is top-notch, not a nobody?"
"Even if I admit you’re beyond ordinary, battling against after restoring power, don’t you think it’s a bit overestimating?"
"I’m afraid I’ll bully you."
"Won’t happen." Chen Qiu seriously shook his head: "Don’t hold back for anything, to test my true power, I’ll use all my might, if you deliberately hold back, you might really die."
"Understood."
"..."
Three days later.
Jiang Buping, having regained his body and fully restored cultivation, stood above a Forbidden Land in the "Lotus Immortal Realm" of Eight Grade Immortal Realm, an incredibly vast desert teeming with toxins.
This was also a no man’s land.
If a major battle were to happen, it would often be here, it’s a good spot for a duel.
Moreover, the area of Eight Grade Immortal Realm is much larger than Xuantian Continent, rely such a Forbidden Land desert is already several tis the size of Xuantian Continent.
"Phew..."
Jiang Buping hovered high above, taking a deep breath, back to Chen Qiu, feeling the abundant power within his body, murmuring: "How many years has it been, finally I’ve returned."
"Though it’s a bit of bullying, since you insisted, letting you witness the power of a Half-step Immortal Emperor is no harm."
"I’ll let you have three moves, this way... it won’t be too much bullying."
Before his voice faded.
Jiang Buping suddenly felt the sky darken, realizing that storm had swept here without him knowing, moreover the sky was covered in dark clouds, a montum bringing him a strong sense of mortality swiftly forming behind him.
"Wait!"
