Starting With 100 Million Lives

"Elder Jiang, so you really are still alive!"

Tian Lin Daoist Venerable was overwhelmed with emotions, itching to give Brother Cheng a warm hug.

But Sect Leader Jiang dodged it.

Old man, it's only been eighty thousand years, no need to get so emotional right?

"Elder Jiang, I've been longing day and night all these years, and now seeing you're fine, I can finally put my heart at ease."

Beihe Daoist Venerable was so excited he almost shed a few tears.

Taiheng Daoist Venerable remained the most calm.

"Hahaha, what did I say? There was no need to worry about Sect Leader Jiang at all!"

He lifted his eyebrows proudly, as if he was praising himself.

"A trip to the Emperor Sword Star is just a small scene for him."

"He's been through so many battles, how could he possibly fall here?"

His flattery made Brother Cheng feel quite comfortable.

He took the opportunity to open the system again to check the Reputation Value System.

Wow, another 23.7 billion Immortal Yuan Points came in!

This wave is entirely due to the shock of him being the chief of the Celestial Pill Department.

Imagine, an unknown Celestial Venerable turned out to be the chief of the Celestial Pill Department, with three eighth-grade Imperial Alchemists being so close to him.

How could anyone not be shocked?

None of the people present could comprehend this scene, except for those old acquaintances from the Ancient Immortal Realm.

To be honest, even Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, King Shi, and Prince Yi, who knew Jiang Cheng was indeed the chief of the Celestial Pill Department, were extremely puzzled.

Jiang Cheng became the chief of the Celestial Pill Department because he passed the Immortal Furnace test and received the origin certification of an eighth-grade Imperial Alchemist.

Then, according to the bet, Tian Lin and Beihe had to adhere to the agreement and honor him as the chief.

But the Pill Masters of Purification Pill Stream and Yidan Stream must have felt extremely unconvinced.

In the Pill Realm, to win people's respect, one needs true talent and learning.

Furthermore, being from different schools, with different alchemy concepts, they are destined to be irreconcilable.

They even felt that those two streams would definitely outwardly comply but secretly oppose, and conflict with this new chief to make it impossible for him to continue.

However, looking at this teary-eyed reunion scene, it seems that's not the case.

Tian Lin and Beihe, the patriarchs of Purification Pill Stream, didn't just recognize Jiang Cheng; they completely respected and admired him to the extreme!

They really couldn't figure it out.

The Star Lord of An Yu and the Profound Spirit Star Lord and others were somewhat dumbfounded by the scolding from the three masters.

This kid really is the genuine chief of the Celestial Pill Department?

Isn't that too magical?

"This, Master Tian Lin... this Jiang Cheng..."

Li Kong Daoist Venerable of the Celestial Treasure Department was somewhat stammering, truly because the news was too outrageous, he couldn't accept it at all.

"It's Elder Jiang!"

Tian Lin Daoist Venerable turned his head with an unhappy expression.

Solemnly warning everyone.

"Disrespecting the chief of our Celestial Pill Department is akin to opposing the entire Celestial Pill Department!"

Taiheng Daoist Venerable said indifferently, "Then from now on, don't even think about asking us to refine pills for you alone!"

Ah this...

Is it that serious?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This was outright protection!

Even though they still couldn't figure out how Brother Cheng became the chief and conquered three eighth-grade Imperial Alchemists, they had to consider the consequences of continuing to offend Jiang Cheng.

Thus, the Star Lords and Immortal Officials, who were loudly questioning just a moment ago, immediately changed their expressions.

The Star Lord of An Yu was the first to force out a dry laugh.

"Hahaha, truly a hero in youth, worthy of being Elder Jiang..."

Brother Cheng thought to himself, I've lived for billions of years, calling me a youth seems kind of off, doesn't it?

And old man, your attitude change is too abrupt!

Others didn't care about that.

With the Star Lord of An Yu leading the way, the Star Lords and Immortal Officials who were mocking and accusing Jiang Cheng earlier all came over with smiles.

"Elder Jiang, a pleasure to meet you!" The previously cold-faced Profound Spirit Star Lord was now all smiles.

Brother Cheng retorted directly: "A pleasure to meet your old sister!"

Earlier, you almost spat on my face, and now it's a pleasure to meet?

Your pleasure, not mine.

The Profound Spirit Star Lord wasn't angry, instead, he was elated.

"My sister is working at the Ganlin Bureau, is Elder Jiang planning to get close to her? I'll summon her right away..."

This is the chief of the Celestial Pill Department!

The head of the highest pill department in the Celestial Palace.

Establishing a connection and becoming his brother-in-law would be incredibly significant!

Though Immortal Officials usually have allocated Pill Immortal Remuneration, who wouldn't want more?

Look at how Taiheng, Tian Lin, and others adore him...

In the future, even if I gather materials myself and want to invite one of the eighth-grade Imperial Alchemists to help refine a couple of furnaces, it might just take a word from Jiang Cheng.

Others naturally understood this too.

Li Kong Daoist Venerable of the Celestial Treasure Department didn't want to lag behind, lavishing compliments.

"I knew at a glance that Elder Jiang is extraordinary, truly a dragon and phoenix among men, who else but you as the chief of the Celestial Pill Department?"

Brother Cheng glanced at him with displeasure: "So now I'm back to being a dragon and phoenix among men? Weren't I just a clueless man moments ago?"

"Elder Jiang is joking, actually, I was talking about myself, I always like to disparage myself..."

Before he could finish, he was pushed to the back by others.

"Elder Jiang as the chief of the Celestial Pill Department is truly the people's choice!"

"With Elder Jiang leading the Celestial Pill Department, it is sure to reach new heights!"

"Elder Jiang, I have five sisters, each as beautiful as a flower, national beauties. Which one would you fancy..."

Someone in the back waved both hands.

"...we can discuss it in detail!"

"Elder Jiang, take a look at me..."

Due to the sheer number of people trying to establish connections, those at the back had to change tactics and resort to over-the-top flattery.

"Though I've never witnessed Elder Jiang's alchemy prowess, it must be beyond comparison, pioneering a new path..."

"That's right, Elder Jiang is truly the first Imperial Alchemist of the Primordial Immortal Realm!"

"I bet Elder Jiang only needs a moment to refine an eighth-grade Imperial Pill!"

There were so many flatterers that those in the back had no room to express themselves.

Some had to rack their brains to find unique ways to praise him.

"Elder Jiang is clearly the first Imperial Alchemist, yet he never boasts about it. What humility is that?"

"That's what you call low-key!"

"Exactly, Elder Jiang is modest!"

Off to the side, Taiheng Daoist Venerable subtly pursed his lips.

Thinking to himself, you guys are just blindly flattering, but you've actually hit the mark.

This guy indeed pioneered a new path in the Alchemy Dao.

However, humility, let's skip that. I've known him since the Ancient Immortal Realm, and I swear I've never seen anyone more flamboyant.

The ten Divine Monarchs at the back watched this scene and felt quite uncomfortable inside.

They had always regarded Jiang Cheng as a black sheep, and even multiple times decided that when the ten-thousand-year term was up, they would give Brother Cheng a hard time.

But now this black sheep has somehow become the hot cake of the Celestial Palace, who could make sense of it?

You know, in another twenty thousand years, his 'collaboration' with the Celestial Palace will end?
