Not all magical artifacts crafted by immortals are “celestial artifacts.” Celestial artifacts are also divided into ranks; immortals with insufficient skill naturally tend to produce “defective products.” Therefore, the magical tools generally used by ordinary immortals in the celestial realm are called “treasure artifacts.” Treasure artifacts are simply the most basic magical tools that can be used normally by immortals. If some precious materials are added during the crafting process, or if the immortal crafting the artifact is of a higher standard, then the artifact’s rank can be raised by one level, becoming a “royal artifact.” If the immortal’s skill reaches the level of a master and all the materials used are rare treasures, the resulting artifact will naturally be extraordinarily powerful. Only artifacts of this grade can be called “celestial artifacts.” With the word “celestial” attached, it naturally becomes extraordinary.

Above treasure artifacts, royal artifacts, and celestial artifacts, there are also divine artifacts and holy artifacts. As for what other wondrous magical tools exist beyond that, ordinary immortals simply cannot know.

“I know about this. How about… one million standard celestial jades?” Evan Carter asked a bit embarrassedly. Having made someone take such a big risk and only offering such a small amount of gold and silver, he felt a little awkward himself. “Recently, I’ve spent too much time watching DVDs, so my cultivation progress has fallen behind, and my father has restricted my allowance…” Evan Carter found it hard to say.

Adam Brooks shook his head, inwardly saying to Evan Carter’s father: Even if you want to push your son to improve, this isn’t the way to do it. This homebody, except for coming to me, basically never steps outside, even less than a sheltered noble lady. Cutting his allowance—how is that supposed to motivate him? What Homebody Carter needs now is a personal maid.

As for Homebody Carter’s father, I just won’t tell you these things. If you don’t give me money, I won’t tell you—Adam Brooks fantasized in his heart.

Seeing that Adam Brooks hadn’t spoken for a while, Evan Carter thought he was dissatisfied with the price. Although he felt a bit guilty, he really couldn’t bear to part with the DVDs he’d gotten—after all, they featured his favorite actresses. Where else in the celestial realm could you find such bold women?

“Old Luo? Brother Brooks…” Evan Carter called softly. Adam Brooks snapped out of his daze and quickly put on a smile: “Oh, the price is negotiable. We’re old friends, after all. Would I really haggle with you over a little money? You’re having a tough time now, so just take the DVDs and watch them first. Pay me the rest whenever it’s convenient, haha…” He made it sound generous, but in reality, he didn’t lower the price at all—he just allowed him to buy on credit.

How could Homebody Carter be a match for such a seasoned businessman? With just a few words, Adam Brooks had him so grateful he was nearly in tears. He quickly took out a beautiful, warm jade that glowed with a misty immortal aura and handed it to Adam Brooks with both hands. Adam Brooks was overjoyed: What a deal! A top-grade celestial jade is worth a million standard celestial jades. Goodness, why are there so few homebodies in the celestial realm!

Evan Carter then took out three rechargeable batteries from his pocket. “Old Luo, could you please help me recharge these batteries? I still have two more at home… um, I’m afraid they won’t last much longer, so please hurry.” Adam Brooks was taken aback: “These are 35,000 mAh high-capacity batteries. Each one can play for sixty hours. How did you…”

Evan Carter blushed, and Adam Brooks immediately understood. This kid must have reached the point where he “can’t eat without adult videos for even a day.” Not wanting to embarrass his good customer, Adam Brooks quickly laughed it off: “Don’t worry, I’ll get started tomorrow. Same price as always—five hundred standard celestial jades per recharge.”

After seeing Evan Carter off, Adam Brooks set up a formation at the entrance of his cave dwelling to prevent birds, beasts, fish, and insects from getting in. It also helped mask the mundane aura of “worldly items” from the human realm inside the cave, so other immortals wouldn’t notice.

After checking everything, Adam Brooks hugged his laptop, ready to head to the human realm. He had just taken a deep breath of celestial energy and was about to activate a mysterious technique when suddenly, a shout came from outside: “Adam Brooks, your crooked formation should have been replaced ages ago. It can’t stop anything except birds and bugs. Are you in there jerking off? If not, I’m coming in…”

Adam Brooks let out a breath of pure immortal energy and replied, “Come in. I’m not like you, doing such filthy things for no reason.” The formation at the cave entrance rippled like water and was instantly broken. A short figure slipped into the cave, with delicate features and a handsome, youthful appearance.

“Heh, how is that filthy? Are you supposed to hold it in until you’re consumed by desire?” the handsome young man said. This youth was also one of Adam Brooks’s “outstanding” customers. Ever since Adam Brooks sold him a high-performance gaming computer, the young master of the prestigious “Remote Hall,” one of the outstanding young experts in the celestial realm, Ethan Foster, had become a gaming addict. Lately, he’d been obsessed with Warcraft, and a few days ago, he’d asked Adam Brooks to get him the best-selling “Warcraft Mastery Secrets” from the human realm, along with some video materials.

“So, did you get what I wanted?” Ethan Foster asked. He was the person Adam Brooks had met whose name was most unlike his personality—not only was he not cold or reserved, he was actually overly cheerful and always teased Adam Brooks with threatening or dirty jokes. His fists were bigger than Adam Brooks’s, and he was also Adam Brooks’s bread and butter, so Adam Brooks could only accept these jokes with a smile. In truth, he himself wasn’t much better.
