The Sacred Land Is Going Bankrupt, I Invented a Mobile Phone!-Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Master, You Don’t Want to Run Out of Spirit Stones Either!

The Foreign Affairs Elder went to inform the other elders to prepare for a meeting.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen flew to the cave residence to see his master.

His master wasn’t in the cave.

With a quick sweep of his divine sense, Ye Chen smiled.

Then, he flew to the cliffside of the Saint Master Peak.

In his view, a stunningly beautiful woman was sitting on the edge of the sheer cliff.

Her jade-like arms were propped up behind her.

Under her skirt, a pair of perfectly proportioned legs dangled at the cliff’s edge, as if stepping on clouds.

When he first entered the Sacred Land, Ye Chen often sat on the cliff, gazing at the sea of clouds, feeling melancholic as he missed his family from his previous life.

During those times, his master would sit beside him, quietly humming a tune to comfort him.

Thinking about it now, it had been a long time since they sat on the cliff together to watch the clouds.

With a smile, Ye Chen sat down beside Nangong Wan.

Feeling Ye Chen’s arrival, Nangong Wan immediately shifted to the side, refusing to sit next to him.

She hummed in a displeased tone, “Rebellious disciple…

“You’ve dishonored your master and ancestors!

“You…”

Looking at Nangong Wan’s seemingly sulking expression, Ye Chen’s gaze became exceptionally gentle.

His master was clearly still upset about what happened before.

Recalling the embarrassed and indignant expression on his master’s blushing face after he lectured her, Ye Chen couldn’t help but savor the memory.

Sensing Ye Chen’s gaze, Nangong Wan’s face turned red. “Go away! I don’t want you anymore! I’m going to find a new disciple…”

Ye Chen acted as if he didn’t hear her, facing the sea of clouds as he sighed and said, “During my recent seclusion, I finally developed a new feature for Immortal Net’s Cloud Flash Pay!

“I was even planning to transfer 200,000 high-grade spirit stones to Master to celebrate together!

“But to my surprise, when I came out of seclusion, I found that I no longer had a master…

“Ah…”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Nangong Wan’s delicate body stiffened.

Her beautiful face showed signs of struggle, but she quietly scooted back and sat next to Ye Chen again, leaning close to him.

Nangong Wan raised her hand and gently patted Ye Chen’s head, speaking earnestly, “Alright, alright, Master forgives you!

“You’ve grown up now, you’re no longer that child who was afraid of heights when Master brought you into the Sacred Land…

“You must be going through the rebellious phase I mentioned.

“You were upset because Master interfered in your choice of Daoist companion, so you reacted strongly!

“Master doesn’t blame you! Master understands you!

“But Master has been through this before, and it’s all for your own good!

“As the saying goes, ‘Once a master, always a father.’ Since I’m a woman, that means I’m your…”

The more Nangong Wan spoke, the more nonsensical she became.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

He quickly interrupted her, “Master, you’ve never had a Daoist companion, so what do you mean you’ve been through this?”

Nangong Wan’s face instantly flushed. “Having a Daoist companion isn’t important. It’s the life experience that matters! Master knows many cultivators and has seen a lot…”

Seeing his master stammering and flustered, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

—

After teasing his master for a while, Ye Chen took Nangong Wan with him to the Saint Master Hall.

Nangong Wan’s face was full of anticipation, her eyes shining brightly.

She clearly wasn’t looking forward to the new feature.

She was looking forward to the 200,000 high-grade spirit stones that Ye Chen had promised her as spending money once the feature was released.

Seeing his master’s expectant expression, Ye Chen had an inexplicable urge to say something.

“Master, you don’t want to run out of spirit stones in the future, do you?”

But after thinking it over, he decided against it.

His master had a thin skin, and if he teased her too much, she might hide in her cave for an entire year.

When Ye Chen and Nangong Wan arrived at the Saint Master Hall, The elders had all gathered.

Upon seeing the two, they all bowed in greeting.

Ye Chen took his seat on the Sacred Throne and looked at the Foreign Affairs Elder, asking, “How has Immortal Net’s Cloud Flash Pay been performing recently?”

The Foreign Affairs Elder, having prepared in advance, immediately reported, “Reporting to the Saint Master.

“Currently, we use Immortal Net’s Cloud Flash Pay to settle spirit stones for online store merchants, sellers at the Immortal Net Auction House, and teachers at Immortal Net Cloud Classroom.

“We also use Cloud Flash Pay to pay couriers and sorters their spirit stones.

“Even the spirit stone benefits for the elders, stewards, and disciples within the Sacred Land are settled through Cloud Flash Pay.

“This has saved us a lot of manpower compared to before.

“And most of the cultivators who receive spirit stones don’t cash out immediately but keep them in Cloud Flash Pay to earn interest or use for online payments!

“As a result, the deposits in Cloud Flash Pay have now reached two billion high-grade spirit stones!

“And the amount is still growing!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen revealed a satisfied smile.

Excellent!

Ye Chen’s goal was for all the cultivators in the cultivation world to deposit their spirit stones into Immortal Net’s Cloud Flash Pay.

Although he probably wouldn’t use those deposits, if there was ever a critical moment where he needed to advance his cultivation level but didn’t have enough spirit stones, he could use those spirit stones stored in his system for emergencies.

This was the main reason Ye Chen was so determined to establish online payments in the cultivation world.

For someone with a system that allowed him to ascend to immortality by spending money, spirit stones stored in his system were as good as his trump card.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Ye Chen wouldn’t touch those spirit stones.

If he used too much, and cultivators couldn’t withdraw their spirit stones, it would ruin their trust in the system.

Trust was hard to build but easy to destroy.

—

Before Ye Chen could continue speaking, the Foreign Affairs Elder eagerly reported on the lottery’s situation.

When he mentioned the lottery, the Foreign Affairs Elder was beaming with excitement.

“Saint Master, the lottery sales have exceeded expectations!

“We’ve already sold ten rounds of lottery tickets.

“Our revenue has reached three million high-grade spirit stones!

“On average, the lottery brings in 300,000 high-grade spirit stones in profit every day.

“The more spirit stones in the prize pool, the more enthusiastic cultivators become about buying lottery tickets!

“Especially in the tenth round, where we sold four billion tickets!”

The Foreign Affairs Elder’s words left all the elders wide-eyed in astonishment.

An average of 300,000 high-grade spirit stones a day?

This…

Is truly unbelievable!

Even Immortal Net’s Taobao, which is so popular, only brings in 100,000 high-grade spirit stones a day.

But the lottery’s daily income was three times that of Immortal Net’s Taobao.

It is simply astonishing.

When Ye Chen heard the lottery’s revenue figures, he raised an eyebrow.

Initially, Ye Chen had thought that low-level cultivators lacked purchasing power.

If the lottery’s daily income could maintain 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, it would be good enough.

But he hadn’t expected it to shoot up to 300,000.

Ye Chen pondered carefully.

The lottery sales being so high was partly due to the gambling nature of cultivators.

But the most important reason was that low-level cultivators were wealthier than before.

Since the introduction of Immortal Net Cloud Classroom, various cultivation knowledge had been popularized.

The average strength of low-level cultivators had skyrocketed.

They now had more diversified ways to earn income.

The 300,000 courier positions offered by Immortal Net Express had driven up the salary standards for low-level cultivators in Great Yan Province.

The emergence of online shopping had also saved low-level cultivators a lot of spirit stones.

They could buy more cost-effective pills and weapons with fewer spirit stones than before.

Their cultivation progress had become much faster than before.

With all these factors, it was no surprise that low-level cultivators in Great Yan Province had become wealthier over the past year.

So, the lottery’s sales exceeding expectations wasn’t surprising!

However, this likely wouldn’t last.

Once the initial excitement passed, The daily income would eventually drop back to 200,000.

Ye Chen looked around at the elders and spoke seriously, “The lottery is a long-term business!

“As long as there are no scandals, it can continue indefinitely, providing a steady stream of revenue for our Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

“So no one in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land should entertain any thoughts of meddling with the prize pool!

“The Sacred Land has been generous to all of you elders.

“If any elder lacks spirit stones, you can come to me for help. I don’t consider myself a stingy person.

“Elders are welcome to buy lottery tickets.

“But if anyone uses their position to influence the draw or manipulate the results, I won’t be lenient!”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the elders quickly nodded.

The benefits provided by the Sacred Land were so generous

That as long as they completed the tasks assigned by the Saint Master, they would receive ample offerings.

Plus, the benefits were constantly improving.

In this situation, no one would be foolish enough to covet the spirit stones in the prize pool.

That would be courting death.

Seeing the elders’ reactions, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.

His expression softened as he asked, “Do any of the elders have anything else to report?”

The Foreign Affairs Elder responded, “Saint Master, since the random discount feature was introduced, the online payment rate for Immortal Net Taobao has increased to 95%.”

On the other side, a mid-stage Nascent Soul Elder also spoke up, “Saint Master!

“The Sect Master of the Acacia Sect wants to collaborate with us.

“They hope we can launch an app for making reservations.

“They want to upload all the profiles and photos of the female cultivators in the Acacia Sect onto this app, so that cultivators can view the profiles, photos, and prices of each female cultivator directly through the app.

“If they find someone they like, they can book a time to visit the female cultivator at the Acacia Pavilion.

“They can also set their address and book a female cultivator to come to them!

“Of course, the price for home visits will be higher.

“And the address must be within the Immortal City. If it’s too remote, it might not be safe.

“If the cultivator offers a high enough price, they can even book a female cultivator from another Immortal City to come and provide services. Naturally, the cultivator would need to pay for round-trip expenses and triple the service fee.

“The Sect Master of the Acacia Sect said that our Heavenly Origin Sacred Land could take a 30% cut of the transactions facilitated by this app.”

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent…

The elders were stunned.

But quite a few of the male elders showed a look of longing.

Selecting someone through an app?

Directly summoning a female cultivator from the Acacia Sect to their cave residence?

The idea sounded thrilling.

Even Ye Chen himself was surprised by this concept!

The Sect Master of the Acacia Sect was truly a talent.

To think of using the internet to attract customers and to even offer home visits and special deliveries, this kind of thinking was truly ahead of its time in the cultivation world.

One had to admit, this app had great potential.

It would definitely be popular among countless male cultivators.

But for a dignified Sacred Land to get involved in such a business would be quite undignified.

Moreover, his master Nangong Wan was standing beside him, full of disdain.

His master had never liked the Sect Master of the Acacia Sect.

If he cooperated with her, his master might not speak to him for a year.

So Ye Chen waved his hand.
