Chapter 64: Proxy Immortal Sect Network

Water Mansion.

He opened his personal panel.

Name: Chen MobaiAge: 18 years oldRealm: Qi Condensation Layer 7Spiritual Roots: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10Cultivation Method: Five Elements ArtSkills: Ascending Technique, Cleansing Spell, Spiritual Power Shield, Qi Nurturing Art, Water Manipulation, Water Elemental Barrier

Although the Five Elements Art was rather mediocre, it had one advantage: it allowed the use of spells of any attribute. Even though Chen Mobai hadn't cultivated the Black Water Art, he had still concurrently practiced the three spells listed above, thanks to the unique environment of the Water Mansion. Among these, "Water Manipulation" was the simplest and had now become proficient. The "Water Elemental Barrier" had initially just been an introductory skill, but after he developed spiritual sense, his progress was rapid. Now, he only needed to condense a spiritual water called "Black Water" to be able to cast it. Only the last one, "Ice Art," remained elusive, so he hadn't added it to his skill list.

After some thought, Chen Mobai decided it was better to be cautious with his cultivation. He resolved to continue practicing the Five Elements Art for now and inquire with the teachers at the Daoist academies once he was admitted. If he could get into the Pure Yang Academy, there would be no question; he would immediately switch to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll. What if, by some incredible luck, he got into one of the Four Great Daoist Academies? Perhaps there would be even better cultivation methods than the Pure Yang Scroll! In any case, the Five Elements Art could be seamlessly converted into any Five-Element attribute cultivation method, so he could switch whenever he wanted.

For example, Reverend Qingping only switched to cultivating the Jade Purity Scripture, a Nascent Soul cultivation method, after forming his Nascent Soul with the Five Elements Art. Although he was reputedly the weakest among his peers at that stage, he was the only one among the geniuses of his generation to reach such a realm. In terms of achievement, Reverend Qingping was an Immortal Root Dao Seed who surpassed ten generations, and even had hopes of reaching the Primordial Spirit stage. Using Reverend Qingping as an example, Chen Mobai understood the issue clearly, and instantly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Anyway, the college entrance exam was only a week away, and it was too late for him to cultivate the Three Yang Body now. He could completely put it aside and reconsider the matter after the entrance exams for the various Daoist academies.

Then he remembered something else and opened his Turtle Treasure. Sure enough, the 'proxy' button had lit up again. "Breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi Condensation means I can proxy another application. Which one should I choose?" He went back to his application list, scrolling down and reviewing it. He was tempted to choose "Immortal Sect Net," a comprehensive shopping application, but "Immortal Sect Spell Library" also greatly appealed to him.

The Immortal Sect Spell Library contained all the spells from the Four Great Daoist Academies, Ten Major Academies, and One Hundred and Twenty Prefectures of Earth Origin Star. It boasted a collection of a million spells. It was known as one of the Immortal Sect's two great secret treasuries, alongside the "National Library." It was even rumored to contain divine abilities that some Spirit Transformation ancestors had comprehended from heavenly scriptures of the upper realms, such as the Immortal Art: Mending the Heavens.

However, after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still chose "Immortal Sect Net." This was because he didn't have much ambition for spells at the moment. It was better to be more practical.

He tapped the 'proxy' function on his Turtle Treasure, then selected the "Immortal Sect Net" icon. The adorable turtle pattern once again appeared in the center of the screen, spun around, and then merged into the newly registered user avatar in the top right corner. It was still "Turtle Immortal." After the proxy was complete, Chen Mobai opened the interface of this new account and, as expected, it only had Tier 3 permissions. It seemed that software developed by the Immortal Sect had different, stronger protective measures compared to civilian applications.

However, Tier 3 permissions were sufficient. Chen Mobai opened the Immortal Sect's official flagship store page, and sure enough, many new permissions were available. For instance, free shipping. Normally, when he bought things, he only dared to purchase from addresses in Danxia City or nearby cities. Shipping from other large grotto-heaven cities could sometimes cost almost as much as the item itself. This was due to Earth Origin Star's original oil and gas resources having been depleted. Now, vehicles and aircraft were powered by spiritual liquid and spirit stones, and a fast round trip was incredibly expensive.

Besides free shipping, there was also the ability to know about items available for flash sales a month in advance. But the most powerful permission for a Tier 3 user was the ability to select one item released by the Immortal Sect official store each month—it could be a medicinal pill or a magical artifact—and reserve it for oneself before the flash sale began. This meant that the moment the flash sale started, the item would appear on your order page, with the system assuming you had already secured it; you just needed to complete the checkout.

Chen Mobai couldn't help but marvel at this after seeing it. However, he could only look; he absolutely dared not use this permission. Because if he used this account to buy something even once, it would immediately be exposed. Still, knowing about the items released by major flagship stores on Immortal Sect Net a month in advance was already very useful to him. Chen Mobai guessed that the information obtained through the proxy function was likely pre-scheduled by the backend, and any last-minute changes by the flagship stores probably wouldn't be included.

As he thought, he began to browse the list of medicinal pills that the Immortal Sect's official flagship store would release over the next month. On the 5th, 18th, and 26th of next month, the "Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment" would be released in three separate events, scheduled at various times throughout the day. Chen Mobai's heart burned with excitement. If he could secure one of these items and resell it, he could earn at least a twenty percent profit. Based on the official price of 800,000 Good Deeds for one type, securing just one would mean a net income of over 100,000 Good Deeds.

However, the problem was that he didn't have enough capital to purchase them. But now that he had this information, he could slowly figure out a way. He could always post online, claiming he had secured an item but lacked the funds to buy it, asking anyone who needed it to transfer the money to him, and so on. While this might seem a bit like a scam, if he found someone reliable to vouch for him, there would surely be people around who needed it. For instance, Wu Wan, who was a businessman, probably had extensive connections.

Although Chen Mobai had been diligently cultivating lately, he was also thinking about how to earn money on Earth Origin Star. Exchanging spirit stones or selling gold was absolutely out of the question. He had also considered listing the Qi-replenishing spiritual water refined by Qing Nv in his small online shop. However, since Qing Nv wasn't yet qualified to take the registered alchemist certification exam, no one would dare to buy her spiritual water, even if it met all standards. On Earth Origin Star, cultivators buying medicinal pills first preferred pharmacies directly supplied and operated by the six major pharmaceutical companies, followed by those established by famous alchemists. The remaining small pharmacies could only do business among acquaintances. Even Gu Changfeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, didn't have great business at his pharmacy, let alone Chen Mobai.

Therefore, proxying Immortal Sect Net was a carefully considered decision he made to resolve his financial predicament on Earth Origin Star. He had been experiencing the bitter taste of poverty for a month now, and the Qi-replenishing spiritual water without flavor enhancers was truly too bitter.
