Starting With 100 Million Lives

Venerable Fan Lei originally intended to unleash his fury.

Damn it, can’t you be a bit more self-aware? Don’t you know we’re enemies?

Don’t you know you can’t mess with a tiger’s rear end?

And you’re acting like we’re old friends.

Even daring to pat my shoulder?

However, before he could show his displeasure, he saw that cigarette being handed over.

In the next moment, not only he, but the other Immortal Officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau stiffened their gazes.

The absurdly powerful defensive ’Trust Incense’, he actually has more?

How many does he have?

But thinking about it, it somehow makes sense, since this ’Trust Incense’ is a consumable secret treasure.

Looking at the cigarette handed over, Venerable Fan Lei was completely bewildered.

Since he wasn’t aware of the habit of offering cigarettes from another world, he didn’t reach out to take it.

Instead, he stammered, "Jiang, Elder Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

He even changed the title.

In his eyes, this ’Trust Incense’ secret treasure was extraordinary.

This thing can completely ’absorb’ the deadly power of the Eighteenth Layer Supreme Tribulation Thunder!

In terms of defensive power during combat, as a Daoist Venerable, Fan Lei surely was far stronger than Jiang Cheng at present.

But if he were to bear the Supreme Thunder Tribulation, without using magical treasures or the Immortal Power Origin to defend, he couldn’t avoid coming through unscathed if in a daze from Heart Tribulation.

The reason is simple, most of the Thunder Tribulation is the power of the Celestial Dao.

That doesn’t belong to any rules, nor is it considered a conventional attack.

Fan Lei doesn’t have the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body nor the foundation of the Three Thousand Profound Patterns, even with a higher realm, he couldn’t ignore the damage from the Thunder Tribulation.

Therefore, in his eyes, the ’Trust Incense Secret Treasure’ that could ’protect’ Jiang Cheng from even a hint of Thunder Tribulation harm must be a higher-level defense than him as a Daoist Venerable.

What a divine object this is!

With this Trust Incense, if ignited at a crucial moment, it should even withstand an attack from a Divine Monarch for a while, right?

Why has this guy placed such a powerful secret treasure in front of me, what’s his intention?

To show off?

Or is he planning to attack?

Jiang Cheng had no idea that this guy would develop such a rich inner drama from a simple gesture of offering a cigarette.

He merely extended the cigarette further.

"It’s nothing, you don’t want it?"

You’re asking if I want it?

Does this mean it’s for me?

Venerable Fan Lei doubted his ears.

The high-ranking officials nearby from the Divine Thunder Bureau were also nearly speechless.

Such a precious secret treasure, directly given to Venerable Fan Lei?

Is this a mistake?

Is someone really that generous?

No, wait, is someone really that foolish?

Impossible!

There must be some huge conspiracy involved!

Could it be that once received, terrifying power will burst out, killing Venerable Fan Lei on the spot?

As they were steeped in suspicion, Brother Cheng grew a bit impatient.

"Fine, if you don’t want it."

He was about to pull it back.

Venerable Fan Lei got anxious.

Such a precious secret treasure, priceless and perhaps unseen in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Someone has placed it in front of him, and he dare not accept it, that would certainly provoke divine punishment, no?

"No, no, no, I want it, I want it!"

He quickly reached out his hand, and with both hands.

Of course, he was still very cautious.

While extending his hands, he already mobilized his whole body’s Immortal Power to lay defense on his body surface, quietly drawing the Origin, ready to respond to any emergencies.

This Immortal Power and rule aura, Brother Cheng certainly sensed it.

What do you mean?

I’m rarely generous enough to offer you a cigarette, why do you act as if you’re prepping to ambush me?

Fortunately, this brother isn’t afraid of death, in fact, he eagerly anticipates it.

So he actually handed the cigarette to Venerable Fan Lei.

When such a precious ’secret treasure’ actually reached him without exploding, Venerable Fan Lei felt a sense of unreality.

How absurd it is!

That kid actually truly handed over such a valuable big killer?

Holding the cigarette with both hands, he noticed it was much lighter than he had imagined.

Such a tiny thing, does it really contain such terrifying powers?

It’s truly incredible!

The other high-ranking officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau gathered around to get a closer look at the cigarette.

Their eyes turned somewhat green.

Envy!

Seeing them all crowding to look at the cigarette, Brother Cheng felt a peculiar sentiment rise.

Ah, a bunch of country bumpkins who haven’t seen the world.

Having transmigrated to this world for so many years, this was the first time he felt that unique superiority of a transmigrator.

Right, he is a connoisseur, how could sharing a cigarette be just for one person?

Thus he suddenly conjured... an entire pack of cigarettes.

Then he opened it and handed them out to the other high-ranking officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau.

"Come on, everyone gets one!"

"One per person, no snatching."

All the high-ranking officials of the Divine Thunder Bureau dropped their jaws to the ground.

"Wha-wha-wha, there are so many of these things?"

"What the hell? Are they mass-produced?"

"Where did you get this from?"

"Why does it feel like it’s not that valuable anymore? Is it really ordinary stuff?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Cheng felt his ’authority’ as a transmigrator being challenged.

He immediately put on a stern face and said, "What do you mean by mass-produced ordinary stuff?"

"I dare say, in the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, I’m the only one who possesses this stuff... no, this treasure!"

"At least for now, only I have it!"

"You cannot find it anywhere else!"

"If you don’t want them, fine."

His words made the high-ranking officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau immediately recognize the rarity of this ’secret treasure’.

In the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, only he has it?

How rare must it be?

"Haha, Elder Jiang is joking, aren’t we just inexperienced."

They quickly admitted their mistake and smiled flatteringly.

As for the grudge from the death of the two Supremes earlier, that issue can be postponed for now; the current priority is definitely securing the treasure.

"Right, right, we cherish it very much."

"Please, Elder Jiang, be generous and gift me one..."

"I knew Elder Jiang was actually quite nice!"

"It’s not just nice, it’s absolutely outstanding!"

Brother Cheng was a bit perplexed by the flattery.

He thought to himself, does a pack of cigarettes really have that magical an effect; their value isn’t even close to the wild grass by the roadside of the Celestial Palace.

After all, that wild grass is also from the Immortal Realm, imbued with Immortal Qi.

For such things, are you really flattering an enemy?

Though unclear, being complimented certainly lifted his spirits.

So he opened the cigarette pack again and distributed them around in order, ensuring everyone got one.

The Third and Fourth-Grade Immortal Officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau each received one as if gaining precious treasures.

"Elder Jiang is truly the most generous person I’ve met in my life."

"Such a treasure willingly given to us for free, it’s incredibly moving!"

"No wonder he is the Hidden Emperor; look at his measure, it’s different!"

"I kind of understand why Elder Jiang is so popular among the Divine Monarchs, who wouldn’t admire such magnanimity?"

Now they all wondered if the reason King Lv of the Law Enforcement Department let Jiang Cheng go earlier was because he received too many valuable treasures from him and became indebted, thus hesitated to make a move.
