Chapter 775: From Now On, I Am The Master of Mount Qi

That was what he said, but he honestly did not believe the rumors or feel tempted by this so-called Prince Xian’s hoard. The same could not be said for the others though. It was immortality after all. Be it a lowly pawn, a meek hawker, a terrible emperor, or a lofty Sage, most of them dreamed of becoming a celestial and living forever.
It was only natural for a human to fear death and desire immortality. Those who could resist its allure would forever be in the minority.
Of course, even if this so-called way to becoming an immortal celestial was fake, the martial arts and rare treasures he collected were still worth a fortune. It was only natural that everyone would be excited by it.

“It is exactly what you heard. I do not actually know where Prince Xian’s hoard was.” Gong Wuwei smiled. “It was a lie.”
