"……"
Not to mention others, even Shen Yi was momentarily stunned.
He had only mentioned it in passing.
Doing business is all about quoting prices and bargaining.
Just arriving in Shenzhou, he was already burdened with two big troubles.
First was the matter of slaying an immortal.
If the Heavenly Court found out, in their eyes it would be no different from treason, a grave crime punishable by death in the most brutal way.
Second was Zi Ling.
This woman, to protect her pure reputation, spared not even her own birth father, let alone the other beings in Hongze.
To resolve these two problems, one either needs enough power or enough status.
Tch, now he couldn’t even find a basic job.
How could one easily improve their standing?
As for strength…
After completing the Harmonization Realm, a cultivator earns the title of a Free Immortal.
Sounds like it involves immortals, so it seems respectable.
But the more important word is "Free."
Without a sect or a mentor, with no connections, you cannot become an official within the Heavenly Court.
For life, you can only be a wandering free immortal.
According to the notes left by the Eastern Dragon King.
The most orthodox path is of course through the Bodhi Sect or the Three Immortals Sect among the three teachings; a direct path to the heavens, with bright prospects.
