Chapter 64: Agent Immortal Sect Network

The Water Mansion.

After watering the Qingtong saplings, he opened his personal panel.

Name: Chen MobaiAge: 18Cultivation Level: Qi Cultivation Level 7Spiritual Roots: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10Cultivation Technique: Five Elements TechniqueSkills: Levitation Technique, Cleansing Spell, Spiritual Energy Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Control Spell, Water Elemental Barrier

Although the Five Elements Technique was rather mediocre, it had one significant advantage: it allowed the use of spells of any attribute.

Although Chen Mobai had not cultivated the Black Water Technique, he still practiced the three spells recorded there in the unique environment of the Water Mansion.

Among these, the Water Control Spell was the simplest, and he had now mastered it.

The Water Elemental Barrier was initially only at the introductory level, but after cultivating his divine sense, it progressed by leaps and bounds. Now, he only needed to condense a spiritual water called 'Black Water' to be able to cast it.

Only the last one, the Ice Spell, he had never been able to master. Therefore, he had not included this spell in his skill list.

After some thought, Chen Mobai felt it was better to be cautious with cultivation matters. He decided to continue practicing the Five Elements Technique for now, and then, after gaining admission to a Daoist Academy, he would consult with the university teachers.

If he could get into the Pure Yang Academy, there would be no question; he would immediately switch to cultivating the Pure Yang Scripture.

What if he had an explosion of good luck and got into one of the Four Great Daoist Academies? There might be even better cultivation techniques than the Pure Yang Scripture!

In any case, the Five Elements Technique could be seamlessly converted into any Five Elements attribute cultivation technique, so it would be fine to switch at any time.

Like Venerable Qingping, who only switched to cultivating the Jade Purity Scripture, a Nascent Soul cultivation technique, after forming his Nascent Soul with the Five Elements Technique. Although he was reputedly the weakest at his cultivation level, at least among the geniuses of his generation, he was the only one who reached that realm.

In terms of achievement, Venerable Qingping was already a Dao Seed with immortal roots, surpassing ten generations, and even had hopes of reaching the Primordial Spirit stage.

Taking Venerable Qingping as an example, Chen Mobai understood this issue and instantly felt a sense of clarity.

In any case, the college entrance exam was only a week away, and it was too late for him to cultivate the Three Yang Body. He could completely put it aside for now and consider this issue after the entrance exams for the various great Daoist Academies.

He then remembered something else. He opened the Turtle Treasure, and sure enough, the proxy button was raised and glowing again.

"Having broken through to Qi Cultivation Level 7, I can now proxy another software. Which one should I choose?"

He returned to his application list, scrolled down, and looked repeatedly. He was tempted to choose "Immortal Gate Net," a comprehensive shopping software, but he was also very interested in the "Immortal Gate Spell Library."

The Immortal Gate Spell Library collected all the spells from the Four Great Daoist Academies, Ten Great Academies, and 120 Mansions of the Terrestrial Star.

It was said to contain a million spells.

It was called one of the two great secret collections of the Immortal Gate, along with the "National Library." It was also rumored to contain some divine abilities comprehended by God Transformation stage ancestors from celestial scriptures of the Upper Realm, such as the Immortal Art: Mending Heaven.

However, after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still chose "Immortal Gate Net."

He didn't have much ambition regarding spells at the moment.

It was better to be practical.

He tapped the Turtle Treasure's proxy function, then selected the "Immortal Gate Net" icon. The cute turtle pattern reappeared in the center of the screen, spun around once, and then vanished into the newly registered user avatar in the top right corner.

The avatar was still 'Turtle Immortal'.

After the proxy was completed, Chen Mobai opened the interface of this new account and saw, sure enough, that it only had Level 3 permissions.

It seemed that software developed by the Immortal Gate had different protection measures than those from the private sector.

However, Level 3 permissions were sufficient.

Chen Mobai opened the page for the Immortal Gate's official flagship store, and sure enough, there were many new permissions.

For example, free shipping. He knew that normally, when he bought things, he only dared to buy from addresses in Danxia City or nearby cities, because shipping from other great grotto-heaven cities sometimes cost almost as much as the goods themselves.

This was because the Terrestrial Star's original oil and gas resources had been exhausted. Now, vehicles like cars and planes were powered by spiritual liquid and spirit stones, and a fast round trip was very 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 Level 3 users was that they could select one item released by the Immortal Gate official store each month—be it a medicinal pill or a magical artifact—and pre-order it for themselves before the flash sale.

This meant that the moment the flash sale began, the item would appear on your order page, and the official system would automatically assume you had secured it; you just needed to complete the payment.

After seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but marvel.

But 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.

However, knowing about the items released by the major flagship stores on Immortal Gate Net a month in advance was already very useful to him.

But Chen Mobai guessed that the information he obtained through the proxy must have been pre-arranged in the backend. If a flagship store had a last-minute change, it probably wouldn't be included.

As he thought, he began browsing the list of medicinal pills that the Immortal Gate'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, at varying times throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening.

Chen Mobai felt a surge of excitement. If he could manage to snatch one and resell it, he could at least make a 20% profit. At an official price of 800,000 Merit Points per item, securing one would mean a net income of over 100,000 Merit Points.

The problem, however, was that he didn't have enough capital to participate in the flash sale.

But knowing this information, he could slowly figure out a way.

At worst, he could post online, claiming he had secured an item but lacked the funds to buy it, and ask if anyone who needed it could transfer money to him, and so on.

Although this sounded a bit like a scam, as long as he found a familiar person to vouch for him, there would always be someone he knew who needed it.

For example, Wu Wan. He was a businessman, so his connections should be quite extensive.

Although Chen Mobai had been diligently cultivating during this period, he was also thinking about how to earn money on the Terrestrial Star.

Exchanging spirit stones or selling gold was absolutely out of the question now.

He had also considered listing the Qi Supplementing Spiritual Water refined by Qing Nü in his small online shop. However, since Qing Nü was not yet qualified to take the registered alchemist's certificate exam, even if the spiritual water she refined was completely up to standard, no one would dare buy it.

On the Terrestrial Star, cultivators primarily bought medicinal pills from pharmacies directly supplied and operated by the six major pharmaceutical factories, followed by those opened by famous alchemists. The remaining small pharmacies could only do business among acquaintances.

Even the pharmacy opened by Gu Changfeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, didn't have great business, let alone Chen Mobai's.

Therefore, acting as a proxy for Immortal Gate Net was a decision he made after careful consideration, to resolve his financial predicament on the Terrestrial Star.

He had been experiencing the taste of being broke for a month now. The Qi Supplementing Spiritual Water, without any flavoring agents, was simply too bitter.
