Starting With 100 Million Lives

Jiang Cheng is actually the Chief Immortal Official of the Celestial Pill Department?

Even Sister Qiu, who 'optimistically' viewed Brother Cheng, found this news too fake, too absurd.

If Fan Lei Daoist Venerable had said Jiang Cheng became the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, or the Main General of some Celestial Army, she might have chosen to believe it.

After all, those are places related to battles.

Celestial Pill Department?

What does that even relate to?

She did know that in the past, Jiang Cheng was quite close to Master Hongqing at King Jia's Dojo.

But the problem is, isn't Hongqing just a Fifth-Grade Emperor Alchemist?

This level is worlds apart from being the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department!

She thought so, not to mention others.

Those high-tier Immortal Officials and Star Lords on the Purple Jade Platform were first stunned, then lost all composure.

"Celestial Pill Department?"

"Chief?"

"Him?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Many were no longer angry but pointed at Brother Cheng, laughing heartily.

To them, it was just too comical.

"Fan Lei, I originally thought you really had a connection with him."

"Now I see you're deliberately joking, playing around with the kid, right?"

"You really know how to joke."

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was a bit helpless.

He didn't want to hype Jiang Cheng either, but it was a task entrusted by King Shi and King Lv.

"He really is the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, genuine and without deception!"

If he hadn't witnessed Jiang Cheng and Yi Yuan breaking through the Immortal Furnace with his own eyes back then, he wouldn't believe it either.

Because it indeed sounds absurd.

"Enough, Fan Lei, this kind of joke is enough to say once, stop repeating it!"

"Exactly, don't insult our intelligence!"

"If he's the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, then I'm the Celestial... Celestial something!"

The person wanted to say Celestial Emperor, but that would be overstepping, so he swallowed the words.

"He really is!"

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable frowned tightly, looking very unhappy, "I pledge my character and rank as assurance!"

Seeing him so serious, many retracted their smiles.

This didn't seem like a joke.

"Fan Lei, are you serious?"

Several high-ranking First Grade Immortal Officials stepped forward towards him.

"Do you think we are fools? Easy to deceive?"

"I didn't mean to..."

Fan Lei felt quite wronged.

Why, I originally didn't like this kid, yet I still have to work hard to prove his identity.

And look at Jiang Cheng on the side, just watching happily without any intention of defending himself.

This guy actually wished someone with a blind eye would come to attack him.

That way, he could righteously defeat them and then collect spoils of war.

Otherwise, it seems uncalled for.

Two high-ranking Star Lords floated forward slowly, looking down on Fan Lei Daoist Venerable coldly.

"Fan Lei, do you know how important the Celestial Pill Department is?"

"I know…"

It's a place for alchemy.

"Are you aware that since the founding of the Celestial Palace, there has never been a chief position in the Celestial Pill Department?"

Other Immortal Officials gathered around, enthusiastically 'educating' Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

"Indeed, there are four Eighth-Grade Imperial Pill Masters in total at the Celestial Pill Department. Each belongs to one of three alchemy schools, no one can suppress the others, so all are Second-Grade Immortal Officials!"

"This is common knowledge in the entire Celestial Palace, don't you know?"

"Even lying has a limit, Fan Lei, you are also a person of status, don't make a fool of yourself!"

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable almost laughed out loud.

Darn it, are your messages too outdated?

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable has been dead for eighty thousand years, don't you know?

Still talking about four Eighth-Grade Imperial Pill Masters?

But thinking about it, the Celestial Palace is too large, and Yi Yuan's death was not publicly announced.

Especially since the Celestial Pill Department has been extremely low-key in recent years, with almost no pill masters coming out, all claiming to be in meditation.

He could only continue to explain: "Jiang Cheng became the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department eighty thousand years ago…"

Before he could finish, the taunts from a crowd of people interrupted him.

"Fan Lei, just shut up."

"Still spouting nonsense?"

"Eighty thousand years ago? Why not say eight hundred million years ago?"

"I just heard, this kid was still at King Jia's Dojo eighty thousand years ago, not even an Official Immortal Official, who are you fooling?"

"If you're going to make up a lie, at least make it believable!"

Fan Lei was helpless.

"Have you forgotten, eighty thousand years ago, there was news from the Celestial Pill Department about their Chief Immortal Official going missing. That was Jiang Cheng!"

"That was just a rumor."

"So you've taken a rumor seriously?"

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

Fan Lei had no choice.

No matter what he said, no one believed him, what else could he do?

He didn't have strong evidence to prove Jiang Cheng was the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department.

He could only turn a pleading look toward several Divine Monarchs.

Your orders, I have already tried my best.

Faced with this, the Divine Monarchs had no choice but to step forward even if they didn't want to.

If they didn't prove Jiang Cheng was the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, letting him stay on the Purple Jade Platform would be seen as them deliberately showing favoritism.

King Shi could only speak sullenly.

"Fan Lei is right, this kid is indeed the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, appointed eighty thousand years ago."

The senior Immortal Officials, who were still vociferous, seemed to have their throats suddenly clamped shut, with all sound swallowed back.

The immortals below, who were passionately discussing, also became stunned again.

Particularly Wenren Sihai, who had bet with Brother Cheng, was dumbfounded, falling into a state of existential doubt.

Jiang Cheng...is the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department?

Said by King Shi himself?

So, what rank is he?

This no longer seemed important.

If anyone became the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, they would immediately become one of the top-ranking figures in the Celestial Palace.

Without a doubt!

The key is, how could he possibly ascend to that position?

Especially when Fan Lei Daoist Venerable said it was eighty thousand years ago...

What Jiang Cheng was like at that time, Wenren Sihai had seen.

Probably not even a Celestial Venerable!

"This is too absurd!"

After a long shock, no one could digest this news.

It was just affirmed by King Shi personally.

They didn't believe Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, but could they not believe King Shi?

So at this moment, all they could do was express some criticism.

If they couldn't question the authenticity of the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, then they questioned its reasonableness.

"Eighty thousand years ago, may I ask if he had become a Celestial Venerable at that time?"

"How could someone like him be qualified to be the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department? This is absurd!"

"I suspect there's an inside story behind this!"

"Absolutely insider dealings, how is he qualified?"

"The Celestial Pill Department must have been influenced by some hidden forces and had to yield, this is simply a disgrace to masters like Tian Lin, Yi Yuan, Taiheng!"

Seeing them getting more and more outrageous, making it seem like Jiang Cheng becoming Chief was due to backing from the Celestial Emperor, Prince Yi couldn't help but shout coldly.

"He was able to become the Chief entirely due to the internal decision of the Celestial Pill Department."
