She was as arrogant as she was a moment ago, and now she is as humble as she was.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Ye Liuyun had no intention of arguing with her. They were both from the lower levels of the Immortal Realm, so why make things difficult for each other?
"From now on, don't judge other people's wealth by their appearance. I'm easy to talk to, but if it were someone with a bad temper, you'd be in trouble," Ye Liuyun said earnestly.
Money talks, so whatever you say goes.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my eyes that have a problem." The woman nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, what level is your chamber of commerce's best medicine cauldron? Do you have any at the Celestial Immortal level?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Ye Liuyun's demand for a Celestial Immortal-level magic weapon immediately intimidated the woman. The highest-grade magic weapon their Mountain Ghosts possessed was a low-grade Celestial Immortal-level magic weapon, which was not for sale.

"This? I'm sorry, our guild does have a Celestial Immortal-level magic weapon, but it's not for sale, nor is it a medicine cauldron or furnace. It's a high-grade Earth Immortal-level immortal sword," the woman explained patiently.
Upon hearing that it was a purchase and that he wasn't going to buy it, Ye Liuyun lost interest.
“Alright, then bring me your top-grade Earth Immortal level furnace or cauldron. I’ll take this one,” Ye Liuyun said.
The woman quickly agreed, then turned around and took out a jade medicine cauldron with an emerald-colored hue from another cabinet.
"Guest, this is the Azure Flame Glazed Furnace. Besides refining medicine, it can also be used in battle. It contains divine fire, and once the flames are unleashed, even an ordinary Earth Immortal cultivator will be reduced to ashes in an instant..." The woman patiently explained the furnace's effects.
Ye Liuyun quickly took a look and found that the furnace was made of wood, which corresponded to the cultivation technique she was currently practicing.
"This is it. How much?" Ye Liuyun asked.
The woman rubbed her hands together and quoted a price.
"This, sir, requires 100,000 immortal crystals."
Upon hearing that it was only 100,000, Ye Liuyun poured out 100,000 immortal crystals from the bag without hesitation.
"Ten thousand immortal crystals, take it. I want this furnace," Ye Liuyun said generously.
Ye Liuyun bought it without hesitation, which surprised the female cultivator. From this, it was clear that the other party definitely had more than that many immortal crystals.
"You're the most entertaining guest I've ever met," the woman quickly complimented, then rapidly counted the immortal crystals. After confirming there were no problems, she spoke to Ye Liuyun.
"Alright, the amount is fine, this cauldron is yours, sir," the woman said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun immediately put the cauldron away and then asked.
Does your chamber of commerce sell medicinal herbs?
When the woman heard that Ye Liuyun wanted to buy medicinal herbs, she knew that he was an alchemist. Alchemists held a higher status in the immortal realm than ordinary immortals, and this skill was unrelated to talent or cultivation level.
"Yes, yes, of course we have them, but I'm not in charge of selling medicinal herbs. Please come this way, sir, and I'll take you to the medicinal herb counter over there," the woman gestured.
So Ye Liuyun followed the female cultivator to another counter, where all sorts of immortal herbs were stored.
In the Immortal Realm, although there are naturally growing immortal herbs, most of them still need to be cultivated by oneself. The places where medicinal herbs grow naturally are controlled by the Heavenly Court, and it is very difficult for wandering immortals to obtain them.
These medicinal herbs are generally cultivated, and their grades correspond to the realms of immortals.
The female cultivator who led the way walked up to the female cultivator in charge of the counter and whispered a few words in her ear. Upon hearing that the person in front of her could not be judged by appearances, the other woman immediately greeted her politely.
"Welcome, sir. What kind of medicinal herbs do you need? I have them all here, from divine-level to earth immortal-level herbs," the female cultivator guarding the herbal medicine counter said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and then asked.
"Do you have any medicinal herb catalogs? I only recently ascended to the Immortal Realm and I'm not very familiar with the medicinal herbs there."
The female nun smiled and then quickly took out a picture book.
"Guest, please look here. This contains a list of medicinal herbs of all grades in the Immortal Realm. However, we only have herbs of the God-level and Earth Immortal level here," the female cultivator explained.
Ye Liuyun smiled slightly, then took the map and began to look at it. As for the female cultivator who was in charge of looking after the magic treasure counter, she had already left, but instead of returning to her own counter, she went to find the person in charge of their merchant guild.
She felt that Ye Liuyun was extraordinary, even strange. How could a cultivator who had just ascended to the Immortal Realm have so much money? She felt that he had a secret.
None of these forces in the Immortal Realm are easy to deal with. They could not have developed to this point by simply following the rules, given the hellish level of competition in the Immortal Realm.
The celestial realm only establishes heavenly rules on a large scale, but every rule has loopholes. For example, regarding murder, the heavenly rules do not allow immortals to kill each other, but the problem is that there is no mechanism to restrict it.
The only mechanism is that killing people in the immortal realm will taint you with karmic fire, increasing the difficulty of breaking through realms. Saving people will increase your merit. But the problem is that this so-called restriction is meaningless. Once it comes to life and death, who cares about karmic fire?
Therefore, there are many secret battles and killings in the immortal realm, and even more immortals disappear without a trace.
If the Heavenly Court entrusts such matters to local officials, isn't that tantamount to abandoning responsibility? After all, it requires the supervision of deities. They aren't all-seeing; they can only oversee what they can see and hear. If they can't see or hear something, then there's nothing they can do.
Therefore, the celestial realm is simply an enlarged version of the lower realm.
"Bang bang, Manager Li, I have something important to report." The woman who sold the magic weapon to Ye Liuyun had arrived at the door of the room where the manager of the Thousand Spirits Chamber of Commerce was located.
Meanwhile, inside the room, a fat, middle-aged man was having sex with a woman on the bed.
The woman's screams were incessant.
But the woman outside the door suddenly interrupted, causing the middle-aged man to stop abruptly.
He angrily threw back the covers and glanced at the door.
"You've come at just the right time." The middle-aged man got up, clearly annoyed. She walked naked to the front door with an aggressive air, completely disregarding the fact that a woman was standing outside.
The middle-aged man suddenly flung open the door and shouted angrily.
"What is it? Let me tell you, I was just about to finish. If you bother me with something trivial, I'll make you come and take care of it for me later. I'm very unhappy right now."
When the woman saw the middle-aged man come out naked, her face flushed, and she slightly looked away. But judging from her reaction, she probably didn't care about such things.
"Manager Zhou, a big customer has come to our chamber of commerce. She recently purchased a high-grade Earth Immortal level magic weapon and is currently buying medicinal herbs at the herbal medicine counter," the woman said.
When the manager heard about this book this week, he was immediately furious.
"You're bothering me over something so trivial? Damn it, get in here!" The middle-aged man grabbed the woman and dragged her into the room.
"Manager Zhou, please let me explain!" the woman cried out in alarm.
"You want an explanation, huh? Fine, we'll explain while we play. Lie down here." Manager Zhou was incredibly domineering this week, and he quickly pinned the woman down in front of a table in the room.
The woman, though filled with resentment and anger, dared not resist at all.
She couldn't resist even if she wanted to, and this certainly wasn't the first time.
"Explain yourself. If your explanation makes me unhappy, then you'll be serving me for the next month," the steward said while working in the fields.
The woman was as arrogant as she was with Ye Liuyun, but she was just as humiliated here. This is the Immortal Realm; some places are even darker than the mortal world.
"I, this, this guest, is, is a newly ascended immortal, a cultivator from the Immortal Realm. How could he have so many immortal crystals and be able to afford a high-grade Earth Immortal level magic weapon? There must be something wrong with this." The woman answered haltingly while enduring Manager Zhou's humiliation.
Upon hearing this, the manager immediately understood what the woman meant.
A few minutes later, the manager stopped, presumably because he was done.
"Tch! How disappointing, but this is a big deal, isn't it?" Manager Zhou released the woman and then shouted at the woman on the bed.
"Come here and help me change my clothes."
The woman on the bed hurriedly and shakily came to Steward Zhou's side, picked up his clothes, and dressed him.
This guy is just a lowly immortal, but he lives like an emperor. When the boss behind the scenes of the Thousand Spirits Chamber of Commerce is not around, he is the absolute ruler here. The female cultivators working in the Chamber of Commerce are basically his private playthings.
In short, female cultivators who couldn't accept this situation would have left long ago, while those who did accept it are basically stuck here.
However, their pay and benefits are much better than those of other immortals. For example, the women who watch over the counters are guaranteed a minimum of over a hundred yuan a month, and then they get a commission based on the goods they sell. Their income is quite considerable. Moreover, they are basically all true immortals who can unleash their power.
However, all of this was obtained at the cost of dignity; that is the price.
After getting dressed this week, the manager left the room immediately, completely ignoring the woman who was still lying down.
"Sister Xue, Fatty Zhou has left. Are you...are you alright?" Another female cultivator in the room quickly put on her clothes and went to the female cultivator who had been insulted by Steward Zhou.
The face of the female cultivator surnamed Xue was filled with a mixture of grief and indignation.
"Damn it, why have I, Xue Qiuxia, fallen to such a state?" the female cultivator asked with a twisted expression.
Upon hearing this, the other woman sighed heavily.
"Sigh! What can we do? We're afraid of dying, but we're also unwilling to accept it. Sister Xue, you've been here longer than me. Haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
Xue Qiuxia took a deep breath and then stood up straight.
“Perhaps you are more open-minded than I am. This Immortal Realm is a huge deception, tricking us into coming here and trapping us in this damned, sinful place. Why is that?” Xue Qiuxia sighed, looking up at the sky.
This is a question that all ascendants want to ask, but no one can give them the answer.
If an answer is absolutely necessary, it is reality, because they never considered that things were actually the same in the lower realms.
People like them are basically the chosen ones in the lower realm. They are separated from ordinary people from birth and have no idea what the lower realm is like. To put it bluntly, the lower realm is all about survival.
Isn't this how it is at the bottom of the celestial realm? They can say that they are just paying off debts, debts to the lower realms.
It's normal that they can't understand it; many of them may never understand it in their entire lives.
Let's take a look at that Steward Zhou. His name is Zhou Bao.
Zhou Bao has already seen Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun is currently looking at the illustrated guide. The guide is quite thick, and since he has the opportunity, he definitely wants to read it all in one go.
This week, Bao came to Ye Liuyun's side while she was looking at the illustrated guide.
"Manager Zhou." The woman who was in charge of the medicinal herbs greeted Zhou Bao as soon as she saw him coming.
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Liuyun glanced to her side and saw a fat man grinning at her.
That look made the hairs on her body stand on end for no reason.
"What are you doing?" Ye Liuyun asked suspiciously.
This week, Bao laughed and then explained.
"Oh, young lady, I am the manager of the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild. I just heard from my subordinates that you purchased a high-grade Earth Immortal level magic weapon from our Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild, is that right?"
Ye Liuyun had a very bad first impression of the person in front of her, because her face and eyes showed her malice.
"So what if it is? Is there a problem?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
“Oh, no problem. It’s just that you’re a big customer, so I have to personally serve you. You’re buying medicinal herbs, right? Just tell me what you need,” Zhou Bao replied.
Ye Liuyun nodded and then ignored the guy.
Zhou Bao kept observing Ye Liuyun. After a while, she was able to confirm that he had indeed just ascended from the lower realm. Because he had lived in the immortal realm for a long time, he would be covered with immortal energy. The more immortal energy he was covered with, the longer he had been there. But in her eyes, Ye Liuyun did not have much immortal energy on him.
"A woman who just ascended to the Immortal Realm is actually rich. Could it be that she recently encountered some kind of opportunity? If I could get that opportunity, wouldn't I be rich?" Zhou Bao muttered to himself.
As for Ye Liuyun, she was actually observing Zhou Bao out of the corner of her eye.
"That look...it seems he thinks I have some secret. My subordinate told him...could you be...that woman from earlier?" Ye Liuyun glanced again at the counter selling magical artifacts not far away, and sure enough, she didn't see the woman from earlier.
After a while, Ye Liuyun finally finished looking at the diagram.
"Alright, I've finished looking at them. Give me ten portions of each of these divine-level and earth-immortal-level medicinal herbs," Ye Liuyun said, placing the booklet on the table.
Ye Liuyun's words startled Zhou Bao once again.
"First she bought a cauldron, and now she's buying so many medicinal herbs. Is she an alchemist?" Zhou Bao muttered to himself.
Despite her thoughts, she still gestured to the female nun guarding the counter.
"Let's take the medicinal herbs as this young lady wishes."
The female cultivator nodded and then began to take out medicine from the cabinet. These medicinal herbs were definitely not stored inside the cabinet, but rather in a storage magic item inside the cabinet.
One person was a bit slow, so Zhou Bao called over a few more people to help count the medicinal herbs. It took about half an hour for the herbs to be counted.
"Alright, sir, these are the medicinal herbs you requested, totaling 74,000 immortal crystals," said the female cultivator at the counter.
Ye Liuyun glanced at them, then waved his hand and took out the specified number of immortal crystals. After they confirmed that there were no problems, Ye Liuyun took all the medicinal herbs away.
"Alright, goodbye." Ye Liuyun said, turning to leave.
But Zhou Bao quickly said...
"Hey, girl, why don't you take a look at other things? We at Thousand Spirit Mountain have everything: magic weapons, cultivation techniques, pills, materials, and so on."
However, Ye Liuyun didn't need it for the time being, and she didn't want to talk to the guy in front of her.
"Sorry, we don't need it for now."
Ye Liuyun left behind a message and departed from the Qianling Chamber of Commerce.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Bao immediately waved, and soon the Chamber of Commerce's guards came over.
"Go, keep an eye on this woman, find out where she lives, and come back to tell me," Zhou Bao ordered.
