My Informative Cultivation Life

A man and a fish were staring at each other, eye to eye, keeping their gaze locked.

After holding eye contact for just three breaths, an inexplicable sense of fear engulfed the Prophetic Fish. A hint of dread flashed across its clear eyes, and with a few flicks of its tail, it abruptly retreated three feet away.

"Strange, you are not the greatest terror in the world, but your appearance is the greatest terror!" said the Prophetic Fish, its eyes flickering and voice trembling with unease.

"What?" Yang Ji's heart jolted, "Take another good look at me!"

"Yes, your appearance is the great terror!"

"Ah, no good, it seemed like your appearance just smiled at me."

The fish's eyes bulged with fear, its tail beating so rapidly it became a blur, and with a swift motion, it retreated ten feet away.

"What? You saw my appearance smile at you?" Yang Ji felt as if he'd plunged into an ice-cold cellar, a chill running down his spine.

He shuddered suddenly, and amidst the tremble, he quickly changed his facial features.

He stared intently at the Prophetic Fish, looking over and over, but he couldn't detect any deception, which only added to the hairs standing on end on the back of his neck.

What was going on?

How could his cheap master's appearance be a great terror?

He couldn't make heads or tails of it.

He was a transmigrated protagonist from another world, endowed with extraordinary fortune and creation, the main character of his story.

What could possibly escape the grasp of his Golden Finger?

Nothing!

Not even the Rail Wooden Box, the Giant Immortal King, could achieve that.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt the absurdity of the situation. These bizarre events were far beyond his imagination!

"Luo Xiong... my cheap master!" Yang Ji took a deep breath, his eyebrows furrowing in concern. Having been told so by the Prophetic Fish, he couldn't deny the creeping sense of horror within him.

"It seems I can no longer use the name Luo Xiong. From now on, I will use an alias, Luo Ji!"

"Yes, Luo Ji it is!"

Yang Ji nodded to himself in thought, "Additionally, I must not delay in seeking a physical body for him. I must suppress his 'resentment'."

"May I leave now?" the Prophetic Fish asked tentatively from ten feet away.

"No rush, no rush. Take another look for me, do I still look like the great terror to you?" Yang Ji had already changed his appearance.

"Now... you don't!" The fish's clear eyes swiveled a moment, a flicker of doubt and curiosity crossing its mind, "Why did your previous appearance strike such fear in me? Who was it?"

"Do you really want to know?" Yang Ji looked up at it.

"I don't want to know, better not tell me," the Prophetic Fish's heart quivered and it weakly shook its head.

"There's another thing, could you help me see where my future fortune lies, please point out a clear path for me!" Yang Ji suddenly asked.

"In the upcoming period, half of your fortunes are in the Taichu World! Though I am but a Prophetic Fish and can only foresee vaguely, the specifics are beyond me. However, you can trust me; the Taichu World will certainly have the resources you need," said the Prophetic Fish with conviction.

"Taichu World?" Yang Ji murmured.

"The little fish's prophecies should be accurate. The Taichu World was once exceedingly glorious, the premier world. Now that it has suffered a calamity, all kinds of inheritances and treasures will emerge, presenting a great opportunity," said the Rail Wooden Box.

"So, may I leave now?" the Prophetic Fish glanced around, then spoke up.

"What if you followed me?" Yang Ji regained his senses and suddenly proposed to the Prophetic Fish.

"No, no, no, there's great terror about you. I wouldn't follow you," replied the Prophetic Fish, recoiling slightly.

"..." Yang Ji helplessly spread his hands, "Alright, I'll let you go."

Swish!

Space tore apart, and Yang Ji and the Prophetic Fish flew out of the Mount Sea World.

"Little Fish!" Cheng Bailou exclaimed joyfully as he rushed up to them, displaying a protective stance. He cradled the Prophetic Fish like a small child, examined it carefully, and then placed it into his Inner World.

"Brother Luo, I have kept our agreement. I bid you farewell!" Cheng Bailou folded his hands in a gesture of courtesy, gathered up the immortal array, dispelled the restraints, and transformed into a streak of golden light, leaving the Taichu Hall.

"Such a pity, the little fish refused to stay by your side. What virtue or capability does that Holy Race boy possess to have a Prophetic Fish!" The Rail Wooden Box complained bitterly, "What great terror do you possess? Your former Qi Cultivation master?"

"I don't know either!" Yang Ji said, deep in thought, "Let's not mention this matter anymore."

If there were indeed any horror, it would be permanently buried.

Luo Xiong, he would never transform into Luo Xiong again!

...

Five days passed in succession.

Aside from spending time with Bai Bi, Yang Ji also took advantage of the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance's convenience to search for the resources he needed.

All of this, was handled by the people of the Taichu Hall.

With the current reputation of Taichu Hall, everything went smoothly.

By integrating the resource information circulated through the Alliance of Commerce, he quickly found two medicine pills that could extend life. The first was called "Great Luo Longevity Pill," and the second was the "Creation Twin Lotus."

Both were supreme treasures that could extend life by more than a hundred thousand years each, adding up to more than two hundred thousand years in total.

The internal staff of the Alliance could acquire them at the lowest price.

It was just a pity that there were only two.

Of course, this was just a part of the circulated resource information. A large portion was only accessible by the Alliance Leader, and only the Alliance Leader of the Commerce Alliance could integrate all the resource information and allocate it strategically.

And such an opportunity was presented to him today.

"Yang Ji, good news! Today is the election day for the next Alliance Leader. In the past, without a Red Dust Immortal, our Taichu Hall didn't even qualify to participate. Now, not only do we have the qualification to attend, but we also have the right to nominate and vote," Bai Bi said with a smile.

"Xiao Yang, the implication of what those hall masters said the other day was that they want to elect you as the next Alliance Leader of the Commerce Alliance. So I plan to submit your name as well; after all, each hall present can nominate one person," Bai Gong said.

"Yang Ji, if you become the Alliance Leader, then you will be able to see all the transaction information within the Alliance of Commerce. The main headquarters acts as the hub, all resource deployment and strategic planning will need your approval, which is an immense authority," Bai Bi said.

"Great! If I could become the Alliance Leader, that would be the best," Yang Ji nodded.

"Let's go. Let's participate in the meeting," Bai Gong glanced at Yang Ji and flew ahead.

Yang Ji also spread his wings and followed.

The two crossed over vast Immortal Mountains, penetrating deeper and flying past various halls, until they finally reached the deepest part of the Alliance of Commerce.

Here, Immortal Qi fogged like mist, filling the heavens and the earth. Ahead stood a palace of glorious splendor that reached as high as the sky; even the Immortal Mountains seemed insignificant in comparison, mere adornments hanging on the mountainside.

"This is the headquarters of the Alliance of Commerce, the Alliance Leader Hall!" Bai Gong said with a glance and led Yang Ji flying into it, ascending to the topmost level.

Inside, there was no furniture, empty and spacious, shrouded in immortal mist like the divine hall of the gods, with only massive King's Thrones hanging high in the air.

Atop each grand throne sat a powerful Red Dust Immortal. At a glance, there were already thousands in number, and people were still continuously arriving.

The Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance was truly worthy of being the number one commerce alliance of all realms, its power beyond imagination. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

Thousands of Red Dust Immortals, what force could compare to this?

Almost none!

Yang Ji and the other took a look and then molded a King's Throne out of Immortal Qi, sitting high on their own.

"Brother Luo!"

"Brother Luo!"

Quite a few sent their divine thoughts out to greet him.

Yang Ji responded with a smile, one by one.

They waited for about the duration of an incense stick, and by then, no more people were flying in.

Yang Ji carefully looked around and saw that 8,536 Red Dust Immortals were seated in the hall. Such a colossal force gathered together, if taken for a walk outside, it would cause a tremor throughout the Myriad Realms.

"Most have arrived. As the leader of the previous term, I shall preside over these matters. Now, those who are prepared to compete for the position of this term's Alliance Leader, please inscribe your names on this Celestial Crystal of the Firmament," said a majestic old man from the highest throne at the head.

"That man is called Xian Cheng, a member of the Immortal Clan, the previous term's Alliance Leader!" Bai Gong whispered to Yang Ji, "Above us, in the midst of the immortal mist, is a celestial crystal. Inscribing your name on it will allow you to vote later!"

"Alright!" Yang Ji nodded and immediately used his divine thought as a knife to inscribe his name on the celestial crystal—Luo Ji!
