The Sacred Land is going bankrupt, I invented a mobile phone! - Chapter 288

Chapter 288

Ye Chen opened the Immortal Net and refreshed his Weibo feed.

A few days ago, Gu Yunyun had posted on Weibo, announcing her breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul Realm, receiving congratulations from many fellow Daoists.

Meanwhile, the Jade Pond Saint Master had posted on Weibo this morning.

Her post expressed gratitude to Heavenly Origin Sacred Land and the Heavenly Origin Saint Master for their previous assistance.

The future of the Jade Pond Sacred Land would be tied to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

At the same time, the Jade Pond Saint Master condemned the Great Mystery Sacred Land for not repaying their spirit stones.

Seeing this post, a smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face.

Although the Jade Pond Saint Master was a bit self-centered, too narcissistic even, her personality and conduct were commendable.

She wasn’t manipulative and knew how to show gratitude.

This improved Ye Chen’s impression of the Jade Pond Saint Master considerably.

As for his master, Nangong Wan, she hadn’t posted on Weibo.

However, her Weibo account’s follow list was mostly filled with cultivators who were highly skilled in divination techniques.

It seemed his master hadn’t given up on the lottery yet.

Ye Chen casually scrolled through and noticed that some cultivators had already begun scamming people online.

For instance, charging fees to predict lottery numbers.

It felt like online fraud was about to emerge.

Just like that, time flew by.

Before long, it was almost noon.

When Ye Chen snapped back to reality, he marveled at how browsing Weibo could make one lose track of time.

However, compared to short videos, Weibo wasn’t nearly as time-consuming.

Short videos were the real time-eater. Once you started, it was easy to spend an entire day without noticing the passage of time.

Afterward, you’d only realize with surprise just how long you’d been scrolling.

“Once the overseas shopping app is launched, we can start preparing for the short video platform.

“Short videos are the real goldmine.

“Whether it’s their advertising capabilities or their potential for selling products, both are not to be underestimated.

“However, after launching the short video platform, should I introduce an anti-addiction feature to limit the amount of time cultivators can spend on it each day?

“If I don’t, in less than ten years, the average cultivation level in Great Yan Province might drop significantly due to the addictive nature of short videos.”

Ye Chen pondered silently, finalizing his future plans.

Once the overseas shopping business succeeded, he would begin work on the short video platform.

Whether through advertising or product sales, the profits would be immense.

However, what would the short video trends in the cultivation world even look like?

And what kinds of videos would be popular?

“Saint Master, everyone has reached the designated positions!” the Foreign Affairs Elder reported from the side.

Ye Chen glanced at the time. There were still five minutes until noon.

He nodded, “Proceed as planned.

“Strike at exactly noon.”

The elders all nodded in agreement.

Ye Chen, meanwhile, posted an update on Weibo with a smile.

“The first forced debt collection operation of Immortal Loan officially begins.

“Only dead people can owe the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land spirit stones without paying.”

Ye Chen’s Weibo follower count was still the highest on the platform.

As soon as his post went live, it appeared on the home pages of countless cultivators.

The fact that the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land had blacklisted a Great Advancement powerhouse had already shocked many.

Now that the Heavenly Origin Saint Master had finally spoken, it naturally attracted a great deal of attention from cultivators who were eager to see what would happen next.

But when they read Ye Chen’s short, almost curt Weibo post, countless cultivators were left dumbfounded.

Although they had long felt that the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land wouldn’t back down, none of them had expected this.

Forced debt collection?

What did that even mean?

Did the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land really still intend to collect the spirit stones from the Great Mystery Sacred Land?

That seemed impossible.

If they were in the position of the Great Mystery Sacred Land’s leadership, they wouldn’t pay either.

After all, with a Great Advancement powerhouse backing them, what could anyone do?

Who would give up spirit stones that were already in their hands?

So most cultivators assumed the Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s so-called “forced collection” wouldn’t amount to much.

But when they read the second part of Ye Chen’s post, they were stunned.

“Only dead people can owe the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land spirit stones without paying!”

This needed no further explanation.

If you didn’t repay the spirit stones, you were as good as dead.

In an instant, Ye Chen’s post spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world of Great Yan Province.

Countless cultivators were left speechless, unable to find the words.

Was the Heavenly Origin Saint Master declaring war on the Great Mystery Sacred Land?

That was a Sacred Land with a Great Advancement powerhouse!

Even though the Heavenly Origin Saint Master was hailed as a prodigy and had previously been lauded as the strongest in Great Yan PRovince, when faced with a Great Advancement powerhouse, no one believed Ye Chen stood a chance.

Meanwhile, in the Great Mystery Sacred Land, the Great Mystery Saint Master frowned as he read Ye Chen’s Weibo post.

“Forcibly collecting? Threatening a Great Advancement powerhouse?

“Ye Chen, how dare you?”

There was even a hint of confusion on the Great Mystery Saint Master’s face.

The other elders of the Great Mystery Sacred Land shared his bewilderment.

Had the Heavenly Origin Saint Master lost his mind?

Was he really threatening a Great Advancement powerhouse?

Did he intend to kill Elder Jinwu if he refused to repay the spirit stones?

The Great Mystery Saint Master narrowed his eyes, “Reckless!”

“When Elder Jinwu exits seclusion, the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land will pay for this arrogance.”

The elders nodded in agreement.

They didn’t take the Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s threats seriously.

Unless he dared to march into the Great Mystery Sacred Land to demand payment, but that would be suicide.

It wasn’t even worth considering.

Just as the elders were about to speak further, their Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicators rang in unison.
