Immortality Starts From Making Money.

The following morning, the outer disciples woke up to the news of the sale of the Spirit Link.

"Are you telling the truth?" a female disciple stared at the boy who was shouting, gathering the attention of the other disciples.

"Why would I lie? Just go to the Thousand Wealth Chamber and buy it," the boy responded confidently.

"I don't believe it," another boy shouted. "I heard Senior Brother Zhao Tian is no longer selling the artifact. Besides, what is the Thousand Wealth Chamber?"

"Instead of asking stupid questions, just go to the outer court market and check it out," the boy responded before leaving the group, looking for another group to spread the news to.

He had been paid ten spirit stones for this job and couldn't help but feel delighted.

To spread the news quickly, Zhao Tian did not hesitate to spend many spirit stones and employ hundreds of outer court disciples to spread the word.

With so many outer sect disciples talking about the Spirit Link, many disciples rushed to the Thousand Wealth Chamber to confirm the news.

Inside the Thousand Wealth Chamber, behind the counter, stood an ordinary-looking young woman.

She was the girl from the Refining Hall. Liang Jing had been skeptical when Mao Jian offered her a job with a daily wage of 100 spirit stones.

Why would the weakest disciple in the sect want her to work for him?

She had been confused at first, but when she thought about the 100 spirit stones, she agreed—on the condition that she would only be a receptionist and nothing else.

However, when Liang Jing arrived at the Thousand Wealth Chamber and saw the items she was supposed to sell, she was momentarily shocked, unable to believe her eyes.

It was then she learned that Mao Jian was the creator of the trendy device that had been circulating in the inner court for the past few days.

Standing behind the counter, Liang Jing glanced at the rows of shelves opposite her and sucked in a cold breath.

On display were different grades of Spirit Links and Relay Hubs. The Deluxe grade, the highest among them, was so beautiful that she wanted to take one for herself. 

But when she saw the price tag, she sighed and turned her attention back to waiting for her first customer.

Just then, a group of male disciples rushed into the chamber. Looking at the beautiful and well-furnished lobby, they were stunned for a moment, unsure if they were still in the outer court market.

"Junior brothers, what do you need, and how may I help you?" Liang Jing's voice snapped the stunned disciples out of their daze.

"Ahem… Senior Sister, can we buy the Spirit Link here?" one of the boys asked respectfully after noticing Liang Jing's robe.

"Yes… which grade do you want?" she asked calmly.

A few minutes later, the disciples left with disbelief plastered on their faces.

With the first batch of disciples making purchases, it was only a matter of minutes before more disciples began to flood into the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

When they learned about the different grades and their prices, they were shocked.

Common Grade: 1,000 spirit stones. Standard Grade: 10,000 spirit stones. Deluxe Grade: 50,000 spirit stones.

But when they considered the functions and sleek designs of the Spirit Links, they no longer felt the prices were unreasonable.

Quickly, many disciples began gathering spirit stones to buy the Spirit Link. The Standard Grade, which allowed a hundred disciples to communicate at once, became the most sought-after option.

Standing on the third floor, Mao Jian and Zhao Tian watched as the outer disciples flooded into the store.

"Senior Brother, I guess our opening day is a success," Zhao Tian said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yes, but this is just the beginning," Mao Jian nodded with a faint smile. "Let's start the second phase of our expansion plan."

"Senior Brother, leave it to me." Zhao Tian patted his chest confidently before leaving the third floor.

Mao Jian was pleased with the number of disciples entering and leaving the chamber. 'It's only a matter of time before the Spirit Link spreads throughout the sect,' he thought.

[Mission Objectives]

Mission (1): Earn one million lower spirit stones in one month.

Reward: 10,000 IP.

Mission (2): Within one month, spread your invention and influence everyone in the sect to use your device.

Reward: 5,000 IP.

Looking at the mission objectives, Mao Jian was confident he would complete them in less than a month.

'I need to increase my strength,' he thought as he headed toward his cultivation chamber.

After the opening of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, the spread of the Spirit Links was like wildfire.

Many female disciples who had been eager to buy a Spirit Link were shocked when they heard about the new store selling them.

Soon, many female elders visited the Thousand Wealth Chamber, and upon learning about the different grades, they did not hesitate to buy the highest-tier version.

Even though it was expensive, how could elders use the same grade as outer court disciples?

Looking at the sleek, beautifully designed Deluxe Spirit Links, the female elders were satisfied.

Apart from their exquisite design, the ability to communicate with thousands of people—extending even beyond the sect—was an astonishing revelation.

The female elders joined the trend, accelerating the spread of the Spirit Link. Not wanting to be left behind, the male elders soon followed suit.

For the next few days, the Deluxe Spirit Link became a trending topic among disciples and elders alike.

Meanwhile, inner court disciples who had been using the Common Grade Spirit Links were furious.

How could they continue using a low-tier artifact?

What they had once thought to be a rare and valuable item had now become obsolete. 

Many inner disciples were enraged and sought out Zhao Tian, but he was nowhere to be found.

Not wanting to be outdone by outer court disciples, many inner disciples reluctantly gritted their teeth and upgraded to the Standard Grade Spirit Link.

Inside the Sect's Grand Hall, the upper echelon of the sect was having their weekly meeting.

"I've received reports that the monsters at our border are acting strangely. I suggest we increase our defenses," a bald, well-built elder reported.

"Those damn bastards! If they had done their duties properly, we wouldn't be in this situation," a hot-tempered elder shouted furiously.

Just then, a vibration spread through the hall, drawing everyone's attention.

Feeling their gazes, an inner elder froze for a moment before clearing his throat.

"Ahem… Sorry, I need to take this."

Without waiting for the sect master or the other elders, he channeled his spiritual energy into the Deluxe Spirit Link and answered the call.
