Immortality Starts From Making Money.
Chapter 67: What is Spirit Energy?

Chapter 67: What is Spirit Energy?

Once again, the Thousand Wealth Chamber had done the impossible. The news of the Cloudsoar Retreat had spread throughout the region.

The Cultivation Tower and the Golden Phoenix Restaurant providing a Tier-1 Spirit Food took the region by surprise.

Many had never heard of Tier-1 Spirit Food before, but now, the thought of eating it and having them become a cultivator or assist them in their breakthrough was too good to be true.

Previously, the Thousand Wealth Chamber only had a few customers since they had allowed the top clans to manufacture the Spirit Links.

Except for the Platinum and Noble Grade Spirit Link, which the clans could not make, every other Spirit Link had been created by the clans.

Thus, people were no longer queuing for days to buy Spirit Link. Almost every household has a Spirit Link, though it might be the lowest grade.

But now, everything has changed as many people rushed to the Thousand Wealth Chamber to inquire about the Cloudsoar Retreat.

It was then they learned the ticket sales for the Cloudsoar Retreat would be sold once in a month.

"Ahhh! Why can’t they sell the ticket immediately?"

"Nonsense! Do you have enough money for the ticket sale?"

"What do you mean? With all my life savings, don’t tell me I can’t afford a single ticket."

"What do you know? I heard the ticket would be expensive."

"Still, I did not believe I could not buy it. Just wait till next week when they will start selling the ticket, I’ll surprise you."

"Which ticket are you going to buy?"

"What do you mean which ticket am I going to buy?"

"Fool. Each building in the Cloudsoar Retreat had its own ticket. Do you expect a single ticket to cover everything?"

"Really?"

The Cloudsoar Retreat was unlike other businesses. Each building has its own ticket which limits overcrowding and also stops powerful clans from hoarding it.

With such a method, they could make money while also allowing a lot of people to benefit at the same time.

"The Dust Valley Sect young master is not simple?" the Bai clan muttered in shock when he heard the news.

He had visited the Cloudsoar Retreat and he knew the extraordinariness of such a place. He thought with his influence and money, he would buy a lot of tickets for his clansmen.

But he was wrong.

Mo Jian closed all available loopholes.

A deep sigh escaped from his lips. ’How I wish I gave birth to that boy.’

"Father, what are you thinking?" Bai Feng asked, walking up to her father in the pavilion.

Looking at his daughter, the Bai clan master had a light smile on his face. Even though he did not give birth to such a monster like the Dust Valley Sect Master’s son.

His daughter did not disappoint him.

"Nothing..." He shook his head. "What do you think of the Dust Valley Sect master’s son?"

Bai Feng did not respond immediately, she looked at her father for a moment before she responded. "Powerful and shrewd."

Previously, everyone thought he was nothing but trash. But during the attack, his strength shocked everyone.

Someone that could allow people to talk down to him without retaliating was a fearsome person since no one could predict what was going on in his mind.

They are the most dangerous set of people.

Apart from that, his business acumen was out of this world. She always took pride in her father’s talent for business and learning to follow in her father’s footsteps, but since he appeared—

He turned the Western Region upside down.

His creation of the Spirit Link was nothing short of magic. How could he create such a magical artifact?

Till now, that thought still lingers in her mind.

Apart from creating the artifact, his market strategy makes her father and other merchants cower in submission.

When they thought he was done, he turned the border filled with vengeful spirits to a holy land for warriors.

Previously, she took pride in being called a genius, but now, calling her genius makes her feel they were insulting her.

It was like they were rubbing salt on her wound.

Since she couldn’t defeat him in the business aspect, she vowed to grow stronger than him. But now, she discovered that it was a pipe dream.

With the Cloudsoar Retreat, how could anyone in the Western Region grow stronger than the owner?

Just thinking of all this makes her want to cry. It was too tiring.

Looking at his daughter that was lost in thought, the Bai clan master gave a heavy sigh. He could understand the thought of his daughter, but there was nothing he could do.

In this generation, it was both their blessing and curse for such a monster to appear.

"Don’t think too much about it. He has his own path while you have yours." he advised.

"Yes, Father." A look of determination flashed through her eyes. "Father, how about the plan of selling the Spirit Link beyond the Western Region?"

They might not be able to compete with Mo Jian in the Western Region. But what about outside?

A bright smile appeared on the Bai clan master’s face. "Everything is going smoothly. Your uncle is trying to find a store for us."

"Good. When it’s time to go, I’ll follow them. I want to see the outside world."

*****

Dust Valley Sect.

Inside the sect grand hall, all the elders gathered with a solemn expression.

"Sect Master, how big is the summit?" Elder Duan Jie asked.

"Big beyond your imagination," the Sect Master replied in a grave voice. "All the sects in the Yu state all came together for this."

The Western Region was only a tiny portion of the Yu State. Apart from the Western Region, there were the Southern Region, Eastern Region, and the Central Region.

Out of the four regions, the Central Region was the biggest and the most powerful region in the Yu State.

Many ancient sects were located there. Apart from the ancient sects, there were many powerful clans, loose cultivators, and organizations.

It’s where genius gathered.

All the elders held their breath, lost in thought. Only a handful of them had ventured out of the Western Region.

Still, the danger they encountered in their neighboring region, which was the Southern Region, made them vow never to return there.

But now, they have received an invitation for the summit in the Central Region.

"Sect Master, we understand the danger of the outside world..." Elder Luo Zhen paused for a moment to arrange his thoughts.

"What I don’t know is what they do at the summit?"

When all the elders heard his question, they nodded in agreement. What makes the assembly summit such a big deal?

The Sect Master smiled lightly and cleared his throat. "First, it brings pride to your sect and region. For the people, all lost people would come to our region to set up their business."

"As we don’t have the Alchemist Hall and other halls in our region, if we were to perform well, they would be forced to set up a branch here."

"Our sect would have a chance to recruit talented disciples beyond the Western Region. This is why most sects go all out every assembly summit, and this is the reason why the ancient sects and power sects could still dominate after many years."

"The assembly summit did not only focus on martial arts, it focused on everything. Alchemy, Talisman, Artifact Refiner, music, array formation, and everything you can think of." the Sect Master concluded his explanation softly.

All the elders were quiet as they digested what they just learned. Now they truly understood the importance of the assembly summit.

"Hahaha. This is good. With such a massive gathering, we can show the world our new branch of knowledge." Elder Bai Delan laughed heartily.

’Hmm?’

All the elders looked at him with confusion, and only Elder Luo Zhen understood him.

"Elder Delan, can you tell us about your new branch of knowledge?" Elder Kang asked curiously.

"Hahaha. It is called Mystic Mechanic." A smug smile appeared on his face.

Mystic Mechanic?!

All the elders looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other’s faces. This was the first time they heard such a strange name.

Even the Sect Master and the Supreme Elders wore a look of confusion.

"Can you tell us about this Mystic Mechanic?" Supreme Elder Sun asked.

"Not yet. And if I were to tell you, you won’t understand." Elder Bai Delan shook his head.

"I can only hope Elder Li Huang will join us. I believe with the Mystic Mechanic; it would increase your alchemy greatly."

Elder Li Huang, the Alchemy Elder, creased her brow and looked at Elder Bai Delan strangely. She had heard many rumors about the strange actions from the Refining Hall.

Now, looking at both Elder Liu Zhen and Elder Bai Delan talking excitedly about this strange new knowledge branch piqued her interest.

"If I may ask, who taught you or where did you learn this Mystic Mechanic?" she asked.

Everyone nodded. They also wanted to know where they learned this strange new branch of knowledge.

The two elders looked at each other and grinned like kids.

"It is the Young Master that teaches us," Elder Liu Zhen replied.

Really?

All the elders were stunned. How could Mo Jian teach the two elders?

These were the masters of their field.

The Sect Master wore a look of disbelief. ’When did all this happen? Is it when I was in retreat?’

’Besides, where did he learn these strange things?’ The more he thought about it, the more confused he got.

Watching their confusion, Elder Liu Zhen grinned.

"You’re all confused, right?"

"Let me ask you this simple question that the Young Master first asked us."

All the elders looked at him and became attentive. They wanted to listen to the first question.

"What is Spiritual Energy?"
