Immortal Realm’s Smuggling Kingpin

Chapter 48: A Man’s Vigor is Like The Niagara Falls (2)

Luo Qian opened the order forms—paper usually wasn’t used in the Immortal Realm. Instead, they used jade boards and carved records on them using Immortal power. However, Luo Qian was used to using paper in the Human Realm, and he retained this habit in the Immortal Realm. Fortunately, while paper wasn’t used in the Immortal Realm frequently, as a matter of fact, they were much cheaper than jade stones. As such, this measure taken by Luo Qian was also a measure of ‘increasing income and decreasing expenditure’ and cutting down costs.

The orders were sorted out into categories. The first page was for orders for power supply cases, computers, and disks. Other than his regular customer, Ling Xiaose, some other clients also needed them.

Luo Qian was struck by a thought. Pornographic disks are also an effective way of boosting passion in the s*xual life between couples. Should I introduce it to First Manager Qi Ren?

Since the sexy underwear was able to sell well, it was impossible for such a thing, which was even more effective than sexy underwear, to sell badly. It seemed like his past way of looking at sales had still been limited.

This was one thing about Luo Qian—he was able to scrutinize his own shortcomings repeatedly. The smuggler businessman reflected on himself and decided to vigorously promote such good stuff that ‘everyone who saw it would love, and flowers who saw it would bloom’ in the Immortal Realm. Even if it meant making a loss in the beginning, he still wanted to build up the market.

Everyone who sees it would ‘love’ it was a given, but why would the flowers bloom when they see it? Because Spring was here[1].

After doing some cleaning up in the underground palace, Luo Qian gathered the elixirs that the rice cookers had produced in recent days, summoned the little loli who was still sulking, and had her deliver them to the medicine hall on Silk Cliff. At the same time, he informed her that he was making a trip to the Human Realm.

Li Fei’er left angrily while Luo Qian returned to the underground palace, used his secret skill, and left the Immortal Realm.

There were adult shops on the local streets and family planning product counters in the big pharmacies. Luo Qian wasn’t worried about being unable to get these drugs. He’d even seen a vibrator in an adult shop. He pondered to himself whether he should have a ‘monopoly’ over the market in the Immortal Realm. He would have Li Fei’er take charge of it; it would be very popular with the widows of the Immortal Realm.

However, it was somewhat challenging if he wanted to buy the kind of drugs that could make a man’s vigor be like Niagara Falls. Luo Qian scanned through dozens of drugs with good reviews, but without getting the ‘top gun’ of the aphrodisiac scene, he naturally lacked a huge sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Of course, he wouldn’t give up just like that. After all, he was someone who wanted to be the ‘smuggling kingpin.’ If he couldn’t provide the best for his clients, what kind of kingpin could he be? Luo Qian walked on the streets, looking at the hospitals that became increasingly luxurious and costly. He knew that what he wanted was right inside.

His heart itched like a cat was scratching it. Since I’ve already manifested twice, I shall do it one more time. Luo Qian convinced himself very quickly and disappeared from the streets in the blink of an eye. On the streets at night, there were several cats and several thieves. Absolutely nobody noticed that an unscrupulous Immortal was preparing to manifest…

…

Andrology hospital.

Luo Qian had found the pharmacy room after wandering around. A small coded lock naturally wasn’t too much for Luo Qian; some guards on duty also had the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind; they were purely decorations.

Luo Qian used his Immortal arts and easily got inside. It had the vague feeling of hitting mosquitoes using anti-aircraft artillery and using road millers to make noodles.

“Blue-colored small pills, blue-colored small pills…” muttered Luo Qian while looking through the surrounding medicine cabinets. Finally, he found two small white bottles in a locked cabinet; they contained Viagra.

Luo Qian swept everything into his chest without standing on ceremony. These two bottles of drugs cost me such great effort. I must sell them to Qi Ren for ten Superior Immortal Jade per pill, Luo Qian thought ruthlessly.

Since he was here, he purchased everything that was needed—the pornographic disks that the Immortal Realm homebody wanted, and a few laptops. The sexy underwear the Immortal Realm widows wanted, he bought a dozen of them. Luo Qian then prepared to leave. He thought for a moment and came to a public phone booth. He picked up the receiver, but then became slightly hesitant again. Finally, he sighed and put it down.

Leaving the phone booth, the night wind struck him. It was late fall; the nights were rather cold. Luo Qian looked at the handful of trembling pedestrians on the street and could not help but gather his own collar. This was an instinctive action. As an Immortal, he could not sense the coldness of the Human Realm at all. Only, his heart felt bleak. Although that expression was very similar, they were two different people after all. She was not her; what was lost would never return. What he could not bear to part with was not the present either.

Luo Qian returned to his stronghold. He had a considerable amount of items to smuggle this time. He could not help but think about Qi Ren’s cosmic bag again. He would get himself one someday. By then, he wouldn’t have to come down all the time, nor would he have to make several trips to transport the items each time.

He did not dare to have designs on Qi Ren unless First Manager Qi gifted one to him of his own accord. Otherwise, given First Manager Qi’s influence in the Immortal Realm’s black and white ways, killing him would be as easy as pinching an ant to death.

Back at the Immortal Realm, Luo Qian sorted out the items before having Li Fei’er take care of them. He sent out Communication Jade Talismans to every client and informed them to collect their goods. Luo Qian took 40 aphrodisiacs and rushed to Dark Jade Bank.

“Fei’er, what was it that you showed the casino’s people last time? How did they recognize it?” asked Luo Qian casually.

Li Fei’er’s anger had subsided. She pursed her lips and looked cockily at him. “Hmph, I won’t tell you, big scoundrel. You tease me all day long.”

Luo Qian shook his head with a smile and left the cave abode. He used his Sky Leap and headed towards Trueness Spring with the speed of a beat-up car. Luo Qian, who was above the clouds, sighed. This Sky Leap of mine is only a First-Order Immortal art; it’s even considered a ‘mortal skill.’ In the Immortal Realm, it only has the speed of a beat-up car. Should I formally acknowledge a master and cultivate some secret skills? Luo Qian pondered. Perhaps, I can get Old Mr. Zhao to teach me some skills.

Of the Immortal Realm’s Immortal arts, many were widely available to the public. Sky Leap and Lunisolar Palm were two examples. The key to these Immortal arts weren’t secrets, so anyone could practice them. They were known as ‘mortal skills.’ In comparison, the secret techniques that belonged to some sects and families were known as ‘secret skills.’ Secret skills of the same order were far more powerful than mortal skills. The Immortal vitality that was expended was also far less.

It was currently noon. Trueness Spring bustled as people came and went. However, it was currently the idlest time of day to the casinos. The gamblers who had fought for a whole night had either sneaked away gloomily after losing everything or happily left to enjoy themselves after winning big. Luo Qian entered the casino, found a waiter, and brought out his black jade seal. “I’m looking for the First Manager.”

The waiter immediately became respectful upon seeing the seal character ‘Qi’ on the back of the black jade seal. “It turns out you are a customer personally greeted by the First Manager. This way, please.”

Luo Qian had no idea that, within Dark Jade Bank, not all customers were personally received by the First Manager. Under Qi Ren, there were six primary heads. Under the six primary heads were the 36 secondary heads. Each of their clients had a black jade seal with their name carved on the back. As such, once the waiter looked at the jade seal, he knew that this was a customer personally received by Qi Ren. For this particular group of customers, their deposits in Dark Jade Bank were in the millions of Superior Immortal Jade. Hence, the waiter also became especially polite.

Luo Qian naturally wasn’t favored by Qi Ren because he was rich. No, it was because Qi Ren had asked him for other favors.

Qi Ren still had some affairs to handle today, so he had Luo Qian wait in a quiet courtyard for a while.

When the two met, Qi Ren was still as enthusiastic as before.

Luo Qian brought out the 40 aphrodisiac pills. “Brother Qi, try these drugs first.”

Qi Ren was delighted and quickly said, “Thank you, Brother! Hold on for a moment; I’ll get someone to bring you the money now.”

Luo Qian hurriedly said, “No need. There are 40 pills here—just nice of 200 Superior Immortal Jades. The deposit you gave me last time is enough to pay for them.”

Qi Ren nodded. Looking at the pink pills in his hands, he asked, “What is the name of this drug?”

Luo Qian searched his memories for a moment. “It’s called Yang Dingtian[2].”

Qi Ren was pleased. “Good name; it has an imposing manner. I like it!”

Luo Qian shook his head inwardly. The Human Realm has become messed up; there are now all kinds of fish in the sea. Since CCTV1[3] has forcefully held the naming rights of condoms, the Sect Master of that evil sect has become an aphrodisiac drug. Mr. Jin, you must take it easy…

Luo Qian rushed back to his Fushan cave abode. He was debating whether he should open a ‘VIP reception room’ inside the cave abode. Seeing him drawing here and there on the stone walls with a brush, Li Fei’er asked, “Boss, what are you doing?”

“Fei’er, we have quite a number of big clients now. Look, I’ve decided to open up a special reception room here. It’s for receiving those big, important clients. We’ll decorate it to be more luxurious. I’ll specially get some drinks and whatnot from the Human Realm to serve to them. What do you think?”

Li Fei’er said with disdain, “Boss, this Fushan cave abode of ours is deserted and distant, who would be willing to come? Even if you establish a reception room, what use would there be for it?”

This one remark roused the dreaming person. Luo Qian put his brush down and slowly sat down. “Yeah, it’s a shanty town here. Those respectable people won’t come here.”

Li Fei’er went on, “Not just them. Even for me, my cultivation progress has greatly slowed down after staying here for a few months. The Immortal air here is too thin.”

Luo Qian nodded and looked around. “Sigh, this Fushan cave abode was my first property after coming to the Immortal Realm. I have deep feelings for it; I cannot bear to abandon it!”

Li Fei’er didn’t want to stay here anymore, so she advised patiently. “Boss, this shall be our production plant. We’ll open another medicine hall elsewhere to be the headquarters of our company, how is that?”

Luo Qian thought about it for a moment; he still had hundreds of thousands of Superior Immortal Jade in the bank. If he was just buying an area of land in a normal prime location, it would be enough. He nodded. “Alright, I still have to discuss this with Young Master Du.”

Du Lengning was about to bring Li Xuexiao to go skiing at Divine Void Spring. The two’s relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds these days; they were already at the extent of being in cahoots with each other.

Luo Qian’s arrival dampened their spirits.

Du Lengning was really unhappy. “Speak. What is it?”
