Chapter 28: Chapter 28: ‘Human Emperor Jiang at the Sky Mechanism Tower

Translator: 549690339

“But where is this Mysterious Secret Realm located?”

There are countless secret realms in the world, each with its curious rules. It’s impossible for Jiang Li to know every one of them.

But that’s okay, if he doesn’t know, there are always professionals who do.

All members of the Sky Mechanism Tower cultivate a cultivation technique called “Mastering the Heavenly Machine” that leads directly to ascension.

When mastered, this technique can sense one’s fortune and avoid disasters.

Unfortunately, this cultivation technique is not for sale at the Sky Mechanism Tower, otherwise, many cultivators would want to learn it.

The head of the Sky Mechanism Tower is the highest-ranked practitioner, followed by the heads of the Sky Mechanism Towers located in the various dynasties. Although they are not as powerful as the head, they have reached the level of sensing fortune and misfortune.

Zhou Youfu, the person in charge of the Sky Mechanism Tower in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was lying on the roof, bathing in a pool formed by condensed spiritual energy, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

If the Sky Mechanism Tower had a favorite dynasty, it would be the Great

Zhou. The people here abide by rules, follow the regulations of the Sky

Mechanism Tower, and do not risk kidnapping members of the Sky Mechanism Tower for cultivation techniques. They also would not be so foolish as to steal from the Sky Mechanism Tower.

Please, we at Sky Mechanism Tower strive to provide quality information. When we say it’s an abridged version, it’s your problem if you think your high level of cultivation will be no issue.

This type of client is the most headache-inducing for the Sky Mechanism Tower.

Another type is clients who have no money and insist on bargaining, saying that they already know some of the information and that it’s not worth so many spirit stones.

The Sky Mechanism Tower never gives discounts on its information, much less gives it away for free!

The once-in-a-decade evaluation had just passed, and the Sky Mechanism Tower in the Great Zhou Dynasty was rated first in both performance and customer satisfaction, making other branches envious.

“Great Zhou, good!”

Zhou Youfu felt that he deserved his surname Zhou which resonates with Great Zhou.

He contentedly soaked his fat body in the spiritual water, releasing large bubbles.

But how strange, he used to always feel lucky, so why is his fortune now uncertain, and the future chaotic?

The attendant not far away heard a message from below, ran to the pool flusteredly, and said in horror, “Master, it’s terrible, Human Emperor Jiang is here!”

Zhou Youfu was so frightened that he forgot to breathe and swallowed a mouthful of bath water.

“We at the Sky Mechanism Tower don’t break the law or practice the demonic path. We price goods fairly, why has he come?!”

Most people who come to the Sky Mechanism Tower keep their faces hidden to conceal their identities. For those who don’t have money, they simply cover their faces with a piece of black cloth. For those who are wealthy, they use a piece of black cloth that masks the fluctuations of spiritual power.

As for those who show their faces when buying information, they don’t mind that either. That’s the customer’s own business.

But today, they had to care, even the branch master had to come out to greet them.

Because Human Emperor Jiang had arrived.

“Welcome, Human Emperor Jiang, to our inspection.”

Zhou Youfu and the senior members of the Sky Mechanism Tower welcomed Jiang Li. The crowd of masked people narrowed their pupils, revealing fanaticism, and no longer cared about hiding their identities. They all came to see Jiang Li.

This is the living Human Emperor Jiang, whom many will never see once in their lifetime!

Fortunately, the disciples of the Sky Mechanism Tower maintained order and prevented people from surrounding Jiang Li.

Seeing Zhou Youfu like this, Jiang Li thought to himself, isn’t he just here to buy information about the Mysterious Secret Realm? Why are they treating it like he’s here to inspect their work?

Jiang Li didn’t know that for the people of the Sky Mechanism Tower, it was as though he was here to inspect their work.

Two hundred years ago, Jiang Li presided over the mapping of the Nine Provinces map. The Sky Mechanism Tower considered this as his dissatisfaction with their behavior and used the map to penalize them.

If the Sky Mechanism Tower harbored resentment against Jiang Li two hundred years ago, then after these two hundred years, having witnessed Jiang Li kill countless formidable and seemingly hopeless Heavenly Demons with ease, the Sky Mechanism Tower truly dared not bear any resentment against him.

So if Jiang Li visits the Sky Mechanism Tower again, they must serve him well, making sure he couldn’t find any faults with them.

“Ah, no…”

“Our motto is to treat every customer as an immortal. Emperor Jiang, this is our grand reception hall. We have each customer go to a separate room, where they are attended to in person. This ensures confidentiality and customer satisfaction.” Zhou Youfu explained the Sky Mechanism Tower’s mode of operation smoothly to Jiang Li.

“Our staff will have a crystal ball that connects to headquarters, which could access all the information held by the Sky Mechanism Tower.”

“And our prices are determined by a set of strict standards. We definitely don’t inflate prices.” Zhou Youfu showed a thick book, which was probably the price standard he mentioned.

“If the information involves something the Sky Mechanism Tower does not have, we will collect it based on the customer’s requirements. However, some information involves privacy, and we definitely won’t sell it!” Zhou Youfu stated firmly, his face full of righteousness. Whether he was telling the truth was not known.

But Jiang Li noticed that he said “we will definitely not sell,” not “we will definitely not collect. ”

“Hmm, you won’t collect, good job.” Jiang Li nodded pretentiously, patting Zhou Youfu’s shoulder.

Zhou Youfu, of course, knew what Jiang Li meant by the insinuations. This was a reminder to them.

“Yes, we will definitely not collect!” He quickly made a stand, leaving the decision on whether to do so to the master.

“Is Emperor Jiang satisfied with our work?”

“No other issues really, I just came to learn about the Mysterious Secret

Realm.”

Zhou Youfu thought Jiang Li was randomly asking a question to test the Sky Mechanism Tower’s ability to handle information, he quickly got out the crystal ball and operated it himself.

Soon, all the information about the Mysterious Secret Realm was organized and stored in a jade plate, which he respectfully handed to Jiang Li for inspection.

Jiang Li glanced over it and thought, good lord, they even wrote down the birth chart of the person who created the Mysterious Secret Realm. And they say they don’t sell private information?

But he wasn’t in charge of the Sky Mechanism Tower. The power of the Human Emperor didn’t stretch that far. His previous statement was just a suggestion. If he were to bring it up again now, it would be overstepping his bounds.

“How many spirit stones?”

“The Emperor is joking. These things are not worth a few spirit stones. Consider them a gift from the Sky Mechanism Tower to the Imperial Palace.”

After some back and forth, Jiang Li finally stuffed a proper amount of spirit stones into Zhou Youfu’s arms.

Zhou Youfu held onto the spirit stones as if he was holding a hot potato. He didn’t know whether to accept it or refuse.

After Jiang Li achieved his goal, he turned into a stream of light and left.

Zhou Youfu called over a disciple of the Sky Mechanism Tower, “I remember you excel in painting, right?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Then you paint the scene of me standing with the Human Emperor Jiang just now, frame it, and hang it on the wall. Remember, use the best materials! If you do it well, I will promote you to Core Disciple.”

“Yes!” The disciple was extremely excited and clenched his fist.

A few days later, a painting of “Human Emperor Jiang at Sky Mechanism Tower” was hung in the hall of the Sky Mechanism Tower. Countless people stopped to admire it.

In the painting, Jiang Li was patting Zhou Youfu’s shoulder as if bestowing a great duty upon him. Zhou Youfu had an air of righteousness about him as if he could shoulder the responsibility..
