Chapter 02: Small-scale Business

Dozens of batteries and some scattered parts of massage chairs; Luo Qian packed them in his suit from the celestial realm, slinging it over his shoulder, preparing to return.

The Qiankun Bag? If Luo Qian had such a high-level treasure, would he still need to resort to smuggling?

In addition, there are the legendary "True Immortals," whose martial prowess is no less than that of the Profound Immortals, and whose magical abilities are no less than those of the Spiritual Immortals, appearing only once in a millennium

Luo Qian felt that this business was indeed feasible, but soon he furrowed his brows again, as a very practical problem presented itself before him: it was impossible for him to move a gigantic massage chair to the Immortal Realm

Those who enter the Dao through martial arts are known as Xuanxian, representing the highest martial talent among the celestial beings. Those who enter the Dao through techniques are referred to as Lingxian, embodying the highest magical talent in the celestial realm. Those who enter the Dao with a ghostly body are called Hunxian, while those who enter with a demonic body are known as Yaoxian. These two types of celestial beings, regardless of their martial or magical talents, are subordinate to the Xuan and Ling types.

Smuggling is the same; Luo Qian first purchases ordinary items and then gradually upgrades to higher quality.

This set of imitation world-renowned brand Armani suits is produced by the famous ready-to-wear workshop "Yuan Yi Fang" in the celestial realm. The behind-the-scenes owner of Yuan Yi Fang is none other than the distant hall of Du Lengning's father.

Bang! A muffled sound echoed in the air as Luo Qian returned once more. This was the final trip; all the components had been moved up, and what remained was assembly. Looking around, a vast expanse of white mist enveloped the surroundings, and even with the vision of an immortal, it was impossible to see through clearly. Luo Qian was not worried; the celestial realm was ever-changing, and such illusions were as numerous as the hairs on a cow. He casually drew a strand of celestial energy, silently reciting a spell, and declared: "Discern!" The celestial energy coalesced into the shape of a wooden stick, spinning twice in front of him, yet it failed to indicate any direction.

... ...

Lying on the S-shaped lounge chair, Luo Qian comfortably stretched and lazily murmured to himself, "Life is like this, why strive for immortality?" Reflecting on his experiences of seeking immortality, Luo Qian's good mood dissipated. He sat up from the lounge chair and sighed, "Forget it, I might as well think about what to do to make money..."

The old computer is certainly insufficient, and given the condition of the battery, it is likely that the computer is not in much better shape. For those in business, client information is vital; Luo Qian does not want to face a day when the computer suddenly crashes, causing all the hard-earned client data to disappear.

Items from the human realm are considered "tacky"; the larger the item, the more tacky it is deemed. The Celestial Surveillance Bureau has specialized celestial artifacts to monitor the entire Nine Realms of the celestial world. As soon as any tackiness from the human realm appears, it will be immediately detected. Luo Qian can use a meager amount of celestial energy to cover and conceal small items like computers and CDs, but if he were to transport a large object like a massage chair to the celestial realm, he would be promptly apprehended by the Celestial Surveillance Bureau and dealt with on the spot.

Taking a deep breath, he forcefully held it in his body. "Bang," a sound exploded in the air, and the air collapsed inward. Luo Qian had already vanished.

Return? The vendor, who bears a striking resemblance to Sister Furong, seems to regard the customer as if they have descended from Mars: "Why don't you inquire a bit? In this entire marketplace, when has my robust sister ever accepted a return? Look, look!" Her fingers, round and plump like sausages, slap a tattered sign, making a loud sound: "Goods sold are non-returnable! Black and white..." Look, look! Her fingers, round and plump like sausages, slap a tattered sign, making a loud sound: "Goods sold are non-returnable! Black and white..."

Luo Qian returned to his base, holding the large massage chair. The aunt who had just forgotten to collect the water fee swallowed hard, thinking that this money could wait and there was no rush to collect it

The Nine Ranks of Celestial Officials, the Nine Levels of Immortals; the fewer the ranks, the higher the official status; the more the levels, the stronger the immortal. ... First-level immortal ... . ... Essentially, anyone who can ascend can at least attain the status of a first-level immortal.

Luo Qian was taken aback: although his path-finding technique was merely a first-tier celestial art, it had always been infallible in the past, easily leading him out of any maze. What was going on today? He tried again, reciting the incantation and casting the celestial art, yet the path-finding technique still could not find a way out.

Upon opening his own cave, Luo Qian hastily placed everything into the storeroom, then sat down at his desk, preparing to create a "communication talisman" to notify his clients to come and collect their goods. As he sat at the desk, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Darn it, I forgot to buy a computer..."

As he shouted loudly, a radiant glow suddenly emerged from the vast white mist, enveloping Luo Qian like a trap, drawing him inward. His vision blurred, and he unknowingly fainted. A burly old man stepped out from the mist, glanced at the unconscious Luo Qian, sighed, and said kindly, "Child, it turns out you are also a calamity immortal."

Meanwhile, in a certain place within the celestial realm, a celestial being fell from the sky. With a gasp, Luo Qian quickly executed the not-so-refined first-level celestial technique "Skyward Leap" to stabilize his body, discerned the direction, and flew towards his cave dwelling in the Fushan Mountain.

Hello, hello! As soon as I stepped out, I encountered an elderly woman whose old arms and legs moved as swiftly as lightning. She was able to grab hold of Luo Qian, who is a celestial being, and exclaimed, "Pay the electricity bill!" Luo Qian watched the numbers on his electricity meter rapidly climbing and thought to himself with great resentment, "It seems I need to raise the charging standards for my services!"

"And - picture - book mom, why does that uncle want to take a bath in the fountain?" A lovely little girl held her mother's hand, pointing at the drenched Luo Qian standing in the fountain in the town square. The crowd was bustling, Luo Qian in the winter of the human world

Having engraved the communication talisman, he infused it with a palm's worth of celestial energy, causing the talisman to automatically fly towards its target. Luo Qian sat calmly in his cave dwelling, continuing to craft communication talismans. Although they might not be needed at the moment, once he assembled the massage chair, he was preparing for a grand sale: an auction. At that time, he would notify all his buyers, and anyone interested could come to bid. This was the first massage chair in the celestial realm!

After trying out several chairs, Luo Qian selected one model that offered a reasonable balance of price and performance—it's not that he couldn't afford a more expensive one. Those in business must understand that products need to be updated and replaced; otherwise, how can one achieve "a continuous flow of wealth"? If everyone buys one of your products, the market will become saturated

Luo Qian is able to freely enter and exit the celestial realm without being detected because he possesses a specialized skill that allows him to steal from the celestial realm. Luo Qian is a rare unfortunate celestial being, known as a "Calamity Celestial," who appears once every five thousand years. In the celestial realm, he is nicknamed "Salted Fish Celestial" due to the fact that for a long period after his ascension, he is quite ineffectual, to the extent that it may take him three hundred years to advance from a second-tier celestial being to a third-tier celestial being.

How much is this? ... Hmm, can it be a bit cheaper? ... No? Can't negotiate? Why can't we negotiate? ... A supermarket? In a supermarket, you can't negotiate. Places where negotiation is not allowed usually have a sign stating that bargaining is not accepted and to refrain from asking. You don't have a sign, so why can't we negotiate? ... Clearly marked prices? I do not accept the price you have marked, and there is no room for discussion? In a supermarket, you can't negotiate. Places where negotiation is not allowed usually have a sign stating that bargaining is not accepted and to refrain from asking. You don't have a sign, so why can't we negotiate? ... Clearly marked prices? I do not accept the price you have marked, and there is no room for discussion? ... ...

Luo Qian left in anger. Several invisible air currents circled around the originally bustling shop twice, and then a refreshing breeze blew out of the shop door. The clients who had been discussing several large orders suddenly began to feel that the products from this store were not very good, and one by one, they stood up to take their leave. The plump woman used all her strength to block them, saying: "That was a misunderstanding; that person is a rogue who often deceives people in the market. We sell him good products, and he goes out to exchange them for bad ones, then demands a refund. Only I can deal with him; I am telling the truth..."

As for the De Xian, it refers to those who attain the Dao through virtue. Individuals of noble character can also become immortals, and there have been numerous legends since ancient times, such as stories of self-sacrificing individuals being guided to heaven by golden dragons. The realm of De Xian is extremely high, yet their combat power is very weak. However, due to their elevated status and the high level of the *Tu* *Shu* realm, they hold a prominent position among the various types of immortals in the celestial realm. In the four-tier official system of the celestial realm, namely "Dian, Tai, Yuan, and Jian," De Xian occupies one-third of the positions.

... ...

Furniture—The furniture in the celestial realm is indeed aesthetically pleasing, but when it comes to practicality and comfort, it falls far short of that in the human realm—humans are truly a lazy species. Even deities must cultivate, often engaging in even more intense training than practitioners. Cultivation requires long periods of sitting, sometimes for several years. Even an immortal body cannot withstand this; back pain and discomfort have become occupational hazards for immortals. If there were a massage chair, the celestial realm would surely appear perfect in the eyes of those obsessed with cultivation.

The Qiankun Bag is a treasure in the celestial realm, and even among the high-ranking officials who govern the nine realms of the celestial world, there are very few first-grade celestial officials who possess one

Luo Qian let out a cry: "No way! I have gained a carefree life in the human realm, yet I am forced to become an immortal. After becoming an immortal, I ended up as the most useless calamity immortal. I finally managed to engage in some small business, and I haven't even reached a modest level of prosperity, only to fall into a dead end! Heaven, are you playing with me?"

Not far from his human outpost, there is a large supermarket. Luo Qian strolled around the supermarket and easily found a massage chair in the electronics section

"Miss, may I try sitting down?" Upon seeing the saleswoman's strange expression, he quickly explained, "Oh, it's for my parents." The saleswoman immediately put on a warm smile, saying, "Welcome, welcome. You can give it a try; it's very comfortable." Luo Qian sat down, but felt quite awkward, not because of the chair, but because of the saleswoman's words, which made him feel as if he were receiving some kind of illicit service. He glanced at the saleswoman and nearly retched, deeply regretting that he had such wicked thoughts.

Ultimately, the saleswoman decided to report to her supervisor that the brand's massage chair would immediately be offered at a promotional discount

... ...

Although Fushan is a slum in the Immortal Realm, even the most dilapidated immortal mountain possesses more abundant spiritual energy than a fourth-tier immortal. Therefore, the mundane items in Luo Qian's company warehouse would not be discovered.

Splash! In a pool of icy water, Luo Qian cursed angrily: "Damn it, the set worth seven hundred standard celestial jade is ruined!"

A hand supported the massage chair, using a key to unlock the door. Luo Qian rummaged through a cabinet and pulled out a delicate toolbox, with a screwdriver and pliers at the ready. Finally, before the battery was fully charged, he disassembled the massage chair—indeed, this was his plan, to take it up in several trips.

He thought for a moment, reached out to hoist it onto his back, and casually unleashed a strand of celestial energy, which coalesced in the air and in the books into a purple dragon pattern. The dragon's mouth opened, its tongue flicking in one direction, indicating the way for the old man. If there were other celestial beings present, they would surely be astonished, for this seemingly effortless act by the old man was actually a ninth-tier celestial technique, "Dragon's Guidance," which could only be performed by someone with at least ninth-tier celestial cultivation. The old man executed it with such ease that his strength could only be described with one term: unfathomable.

Luo Qian had no time to entangle himself with the overweight woman; every additional hour spent in the human realm increased the danger. The officials of the Imperial Inspection Bureau were not to be trifled with. If he were discovered by them, with his current level as a first-tier immortal, he would not even be able to withstand the first strike of the Kunlong's whiskers.

Luo Qian's gaze fell upon the chair beneath him, and a sudden thought struck him: "How could I be so foolish, not realizing the good thing that was right in front of me"

In City A, a renowned electronics mall, Luo Qian, dressed in cheap Yuan Dan Nuo casual wear, flushed with anger, roared at the shopkeeper: "Is this the latest energy-saving technology you promised? Damn it, it couldn't even last four hours! I demand a refund!"

Luo Qian owns property in this city, but he does not have an ID card or a household registration book. However, what does that matter? The city is filled with houses that have been converted from urban villages; one can move in simply by paying the fee and receiving the keys. Although there is no property ownership, the cost is low. Luo Qian does not intend to sell and has also saved on expenses

Luo Qian is a smuggler, not a street-cursing shrew. He turned and walked away, circling around the entrance while stepping in a peculiar rhythm. At the entrance of the robust and plump woman, he set up the simplest first-class celestial formation: the Flowing Water Formation. Wealth flows like water, heading east and never returning. This is a simple wealth-dispersing formation. Although in the celestial realm even the bones in the mouth of the watchdog at Lingxiao Palace cannot be dispersed, in the human realm, this is a genuine celestial formation! My goodness, is a celestial formation easy to provoke? Luo Qian spat fiercely: "Letting you sell me inferior products! Damn it, even smuggling has its credibility, yet you dare to sell counterfeit goods..." This is a simple wealth-dispersing formation.

Damn it, even smuggling has its credibility, yet you dare to sell counterfeit goods..."

There are also some relatively rare celestial beings, such as the Robbery Celestial and the Virtue Celestial. The reason for the emergence of the Robbery Celestial is unclear, but they are even rarer than True Celestials. Before the great calamity of five hundred years, the Robbery Celestials were almost entirely insignificant, which is why each Robbery Celestial receives a compensation from the heavens. This compensation may take the form of life-saving celestial techniques, enemy-defeating celestial artifacts, or even a magical cave dwelling. Luo Qian's compensation is this secret technique that allows him to descend into the celestial realm without being detected. It is precisely because of this secret technique that he dares to engage in the smuggling trade with such confidence.

In recent years, many individuals have ascended, and the commoner workshops in the realm of immortals have timely introduced suits for the immortal world, which have become quite popular. In the past, when Luo Qian was involved in the community, he envied some of the 'big brothers' in the group who wore black suits and sunglasses, but at that time he couldn't afford them. Upon arriving in the immortal realm, he immediately got himself a complete outfit.

The sample set was smuggled up by Luo Qian from the human realm. The two maintained a good cooperative relationship, and for the first time, Luo Qian did not charge any money; however, he requested four black and three blue sets of clothing. Each set of the outfit has a retail price of seven hundred standard divine coins in the celestial realm.

Luo Qian happily picked up his massage chair, and the salesgirl gaped in astonishment; after all, it was not a folding beach chair.

He tossed a few hundred yuan to the old lady and quickly made his escape. Smuggling also emphasizes efficiency; every time he descended to the mortal realm, he minimized the time spent on the journey and used the time spent charging his battery to purchase goods. This time, he had already wasted quite a bit of time with the plump woman. If he didn't hurry, he wouldn't be able to return before the battery was fully charged. Every extra minute was dangerous. Luo Qian was well aware of the terrifying nature of the Inspection Bureau—indeed, at his current level, he could see the 'red name' hovering above any creature randomly pulled from the celestial realm.

Unfortunately, the celestial formation has already begun to take effect. Those individuals are leaving not because of her earlier tirade, but because they have lost interest in their goods. The fierce woman cursed in anger, "It's all that little brat's fault!"

However, this minor issue was naturally no challenge for Luo Qian, a first-tier immortal who aspired to become the number one smuggler in the immortal realm. He had already devised a solution. Glancing at the charger, which indicated that it would take another hour to fully charge, he opened the door and rushed towards the supermarket

The message was delivered in an instant across a thousand miles. Before long, Ling Xiaose and Du Lengning arrived one after another, took their belongings, and settled the final payment. Luo Qian tidied everything up and made several trips to bring up the other parts of the massage chair.

The room was devoid of anything except for a row of fast chargers that stood out prominently. Luo Qian took out several high-capacity batteries and plugged them into the array of devices. He then cradled his head and threw himself onto a comfortable lounge chair that had been left aside. Although Luo Qian was a shrewd businessman, he was not a miser; he paid great attention to his lifestyle. This lounge chair was of the latest design, soft and comfortable, and the world-renowned concept furniture chain had charged him three thousand dollars for it.

However, for those who undergo tribulations, every five hundred years presents a calamity. Once this calamity is overcome, one can achieve a "turning point" akin to a salted fish, and even possess a power more profound than that of an ordinary immortal who has diligently cultivated for five hundred years. The opportunity to turn one's fate after five hundred years is not easily attained, as the immortal realm is fraught with danger, and most who face tribulations do not survive to see that moment.
