Gate of Immortality

Chapter 147: New commission

Luck or karma is always been the hidden factor of geniuses. It exists in a corporeal yet illusory way. Good work brings good karma and evil gets retribution, people believe it. But it has a very low effect of cultivators, yet nonetheless, it has. Cultivators at higher realms can alter fate and change destiny, yet there is a limit to it. In the end, fate will change itself and the cultivator will found that they were attached to higher karma or a big event that can destroy them. Fate is also like an invisible currency. 

Without enough luck, you might miss a godly weapon, even if it's lying beside you. So, Fate, Destiny, Karma, Luck, all these things are still the most alluring things to cultivators. Alas, No one has ever said that they became master of destiny. (Don't mind this paragraph, its kinda crap)

Samsara Emperor sat in his mysterious abode, with eyes open. He started at the sky which was blue, without any clouds. Hong er sat beside him, seemingly to brew tea. She looked at Samsara Emperor as she chuckled. " Old man, You are nothing more than a divine intent. Stop trying to peek that Bastard Heavens." Samsara Emperor's face twitched, but he calmed himself. " I am just calculating that brat's luck. It seems it's enough now." Samsara Emperor sighed. " Immemorial Evil Yin Vein. As it implies, it will give the inheritor terrible luck first. If he survived, then it will make him like carp leaping through the dragon gate, soaring above nine skies." Hong er said.

" Sigh, If it only is like that. Yet, the situation is more complicated." Samsara Emperor sighed. " After awakening, What misfortune can fall on him? Is there something that even I can't resolve? No, My form is too weak now. Still, Assisting him shouldn't be any problem. I have to see first." Samsara Emperor thought silently. " Fuck, Such is life." He couldn't help but laugh.

..........................................

" Kid, I guess, It's sufficient." Samsara Emperor said. " Is it?" Yang Shi smiled. " Yeh, Now go and do what you wanted to do so much." Samsara Emperor sighed. " Haha." Yang Shi couldn't help but rub under his nose out of embarrassment. Yang Shi couldn't help but return to Bai Ruxue quickly. *Grumble*

" Eh? Damn it. I actually forgot to eat." Yang Shi couldn't help but sigh. " Oh well, It's been a while since I ate in Gold and Jade Inn. Let's eat till my stomach fill." Yang Shi muttered.

" Boss Mao, It seems you have gotten fatter." Yang Shi chuckled as he entered the inn. " Ahahah, Is it junior Yang? It's been a while you came here." Boss Mao smiled. He was the head chef of the Inn. Yang Shi was acquainted with him since he came here first. " I will have Golden String Noodles, Double layered Fried Fish, and Four colored Spirit Chicken dumplings. Oh yes, a jug of Bright Plum Wine." Yang Shi ordered. " Ohoho! Brother Yang isn't being stingy today. Did something good happened?" The waiter boy smiled he took his order.

" Well, Something good did happen. Hehe, it seems you are about to earn some good tips." Yang Shi laughed. The waiter smiled awkwardly. Soon, Plates of delicious dishes were served in front of him. Yang Shi rubbed his palm as he devoured the food. " Man, Boss Mao, Your dishes are best as always." Yang Shi said as he drunk a mouthful of wine. Soon, He finished his meal and paid six thousand gold coins. Yang Shi was about to leave but suddenly his face turned dark. " Are you fucking with me?" Suddenly, he pulled out his Golden Blood Moon token, which was emitting a faint glow.

Yang Shi's face couldn't help but twitch violently. " Hey, Old man, I thought you said, Not any more obstacles?" Yang Shi clenched his teeth as he asked to Samsara Emperor. " Uhhh...Honestly, I am also surprised by this. It must be a random coincidence." Samsara Emperor chuckled. " Damn, Why didn't you tell me?" yang Shi raged. " How can I know everything happening in the future? I don't have a goddamn time machine." Samsara Emperor snorted. Yang Shi couldn't help but feel dejected. " I will rip at least a dozen of Sky Enchanting pills from Old Ghost." He muttered.

.....................

" Hoh, You are quick as always." Old Ghost chuckled as he saw Yang Shi. " Old coot, I will pull your beard if you have called me for some stupid reason." Yang Shi raged. " Aiiz, Youngsters these days. I thought I might give you a chance to earn something big, but it seems, Sigh." Old Ghost sighed. Yang Shi's eyes squinted as he cleared his throat. " Ahem, Why don't you say first?" He asked to Old Ghost. Old Ghost passed him a jade slip. Yang Shi took it and began to read. His complexion turned strange as his eyes went wide.

" Half a month ago, White Dear Merchant group's Leader- Tao Zhu's daughter was kidnapped. Nine days ago, her corpse was found. Intelligence says that Crimson Wolf Gang's leader- Guo Chun had kidnapped her and raped her to death. Both groups are at odds with each other in the first place, so the report is verified. The White Dear Merchant group couldn't do anything to Guo Chun, so they issued a commission here. Two lower tier Spirit stones for the head of Guo Chun and His subordinate."

" Hoh, This is not your usual shits." Yang Shi couldn't help but chuckle. " Cultivation of Guo Chun,  Peak Seventh Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. Subordinates- From the Third stage to the Sixth. Additional info- There might be members of Heaven Protection Guild protecting Guo Chun. Grade- Team Mission." " So, What you want me to do?" Yang Shi asked Old Ghost. " Why ask me? The decision is yours." Old Ghost said. " You know that It's very hard for me to complete this alone." Yang Shi said in a low voice. However, He didn't say it's impossible. Old Ghost also understood as he smiled, " If you want, White Fang can join you."

" Lu Xiao? The hell! Why would he help me? No, Wait...Could it be...Crimson Wolf Gang is a part of Second Prince's faction?" Yang Shi probed. " Guess?" Old Ghost smiled. " Fuck, Why there are political strings everywhere?" Yang Shi grimaced. " But that two Low grade Spirit stones we are talking about. Damn, I really need them." Yang Shi mumbled. With help of them, He can easily charge up to Eight Stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.

Sky Enchanting pills are medicinal pills in the end. After eating many, Their efficiency decreases greatly. Moreover, eating too many pills can affect the cultivation foundation and increase pill toxins in the body. However, Spirit stones are basically Spiritual qi in solid form. So absorbing too many of them isn't any problem. But Spirit stones are scarce here. Only big sects and powerful clans have spirit stones.

" Oh yes, If you want, Yanyu can also join you." Old Ghost said. " Yanyu, Who is she?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. " Guess?" Old Ghost laughed again. " Wait, Could it be..." Yang Shi's mouth went wide. It was the black clothed apprentice of Old Ghost, who was pretending to be a male. " Strange. She agreed?" Yang Shi asked. " Guo Chun has some secret information. So, Before you kill him, we need that." Old Ghost said. " Can I go now?" Yang Shi asked hurriedly. " Why are you in so hurry?" Old Ghost was astonished. " Errm...I have some important work in the home." Yang Shi scratched his head.

" Hmm, You have two hours for preparation. Oh yes, Here. This a bottle of Three stripes Frog's venom. The poison master was busy currently, so he was unable to meet you." Old Ghost said. " This venom, how potent is it?" Yang Shi asked. "Well, It can instantly paralyze an Eight stage Primordial Spirit realm expert. As for killing, a full bottle can kill two of them." Old Ghost said.

" Hmm, Two hours...It's enough to forge them." Yang Shi thought. It's already evening, if he can complete the task till night, there is still a lot of time for him and Bai Ruxue. " Alright, just give me a room and don't disturb me." Yang Shi said. " What are you going to do?" Old Ghost thought.
