Chapter 306: The Hard Times Are Finally Over!

Ye Chen glanced at the background data for overseas orders, then stopped looking.

Though the income was considerable, it was just that.

To Ye Chen now, the income from overseas shopping was just the cherry on top.

So, he looked at the three women with distinct temperaments — Nangong Wan, Gu Yunyun, and Gu Xun’er — and said, “It’s late. Time to rest!”

His gaze hinted at something.

The blush on Gu Yunyun’s face instantly spread to her ears.

On one side, Gu Xun’er also seemed to think of something.

Her face was red and slightly nervous.

Only Nangong Wan looked at Ye Chen, puzzled.

Do cultivators need to care about time, day or night?

Especially at their level. Going a year or two without rest would be no issue.

However, Nangong Wan soon understood.

Her cheeks reddened slightly, and she nodded with the wisdom of experience. “Indeed, it’s time for you to rest!

“Ye Chen, you’re not young anymore. With the power and wealth you control, it’s time you had a child.

“I’ll personally guide your child and make them stronger than you!”

Hearing this, Gu Yunyun’s face turned even redder, her head lowered as if trying to bury herself.

Gu Xun’er was even more flustered.

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched.

Wow, she’s urging me to have children already?

Who would want to have children?

Isn’t it better to enjoy freedom?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Why rush things?

So even in front of his master, Ye Chen, bold as ever, took Gu Yunyun’s delicate hand and said, “Xun’er, find a room for yourself. Make yourself comfortable.”

After giving instructions, Ye Chen led the extremely shy Gu Yunyun into his room.

Watching the door close firmly, there was a hint of disappointment on Gu Xun’er’s sweet little face, while a complex, unspoken emotion flashed in Nangong Wan’s beautiful eyes…

Mingwang Province, Celestial Sword Sect.

It was nearing midnight.

All the elders of the Celestial Sword Sect had gathered in the main hall.

Regarding the overseas shopping feature launched today, though many had complained about its high prices, there was still some hope in their hearts.

Elder Dugu, noticing the good mood of the sect leader, asked, “Sect Leader, did you contact the Heavenly Origin Saint Master again to discuss a price reduction for the overseas orders?”

Today, Yan Bailu had been replaying Ye Chen’s words in her mind.

Hearing the question, she nearly retorted, “Are you teaching me how to do my job?”

But she held back and shook her head. “No, I didn’t!”

Elder Dugu was disappointed but still held out a bit of hope, waiting patiently for the order statistics.

The elders gathered in small groups, discussing how much revenue might come in today.

“I think we should have at least ten or twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones in sales!”

“I doubt it. Apart from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, other Sacred Lands are poorer than our Celestial Sword Sect. Who would spend so many spirit stones on expensive overseas goods?”

“I’d be happy with five hundred high-grade spirit stones.”

“Five hundred a day is almost twenty thousand in a year. That’s pretty good.”

“Let’s hope for that.”

The elders’ expectations for overseas orders had been lowered to five hundred high-grade spirit stones.

When midnight struck, the overseas order summary finally updated in their system.

The elders with access immediately opened it.

But when they saw the previous day’s overseas sales figures,

they were thunderstruck, stunned beyond belief.

“This…

“How is this possible?”

Elder Dugu’s eyes widened.

The other elders had the same reaction, their eyes filled with incredulity.

Yan Bailu, though not interested in business, was now curious seeing the elders’ reactions.

Could it be that nothing sold at all?

When she opened the system and took a look, her small jade-like feet stopped swinging, and shock spread across her face.

“Could there be a mistake with the data?” Yan Bailu asked, confused.

The elders nodded, wondering if there was an error.

Elder Dugu, extremely anxious, immediately called the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s Foreign Affairs Elder.

“What?

“No problem with the data?

“Really no problem?

“Alright, alright, I’ll start the procurement as soon as possible!

“Yes, yes, no problem at all.”

After hanging up, Elder Dugu looked at the other elders, taking a deep breath. “The data is accurate!

“Yesterday, the total revenue from overseas shopping reached 1.5 million high-grade spirit stones.

“After deducting product and cross-province transmission costs, the profit is 500,000.

“We’ll receive 150,000 high-grade spirit stones!”

At this, the hall was filled with astonishment.

That unbelievable revenue figure was real?

In a single day, they had earned 150,000 high-grade spirit stones.

To put it in perspective, the Celestial Sword Sect typically earned only about 500,000 high-grade spirit stones in a year.

And now, in just one day, they had earned a third of their annual revenue.

It was truly astonishing.

Everyone was overjoyed, feeling as though it was unreal.

Isn’t this income too easy?

No wonder the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is so extravagantly wealthy.

Even picking up money isn’t this fast.

“Oh my, four sets of the Celestial Transformation Garment actually sold — and each set is worth 200,000 spirit stones. Are all the Nascent Soul cultivators in Great Yan Province this wealthy?”

“Those treasures for Golden Core cultivators, twenty of them sold in one go.”

“The Daoist Pill produced by the Daoist Sect sold 50,000 units. Are Nascent Soul cultivators in Great Yan Province really this extravagant?”

“Medicines for the Foundation Establishment Realm sold even more, a whopping 500,000 units.”

“Why are there so many wealthy cultivators in Great Yan Province?”

The elders were stunned looking at the quantity of items ordered.

When they were still in the Qi Refining Realm, they certainly would not have been willing to spend so much on expensive pills.

Why were there so many wealthy cultivators in Great Yan Province?

They couldn’t understand it.

But regardless of their confusion, joy was written across each face.

The overseas orders were far more profitable than they had imagined.

At that moment, Elder Dugu scanned the hall and spoke seriously, “Fellow elders, we don’t have time to be shocked.

“The order volume exceeded our expectations, which is a good thing.

“But we must complete the procurement within one day and deliver it to the cross-prvince teleportation array by early tomorrow.

“With such a large volume of pills, a single shop of those Sacred Lands or Great Sects might not have enough stock.

“We might need to visit multiple immortal cities.

“As for the Celestial Transformation Garment, it’s rarely purchased, so not every Yuhua Sect store stocks it. Finding four pieces might mean traveling through half of Mingwang Province.

“So next, the elders will need to work hard to complete the procurement on time.

“This business brings in 150,000 high-grade spirit stones in a single day.

“If we delay and cause dissatisfaction from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, who might consider changing partners, countless Sacred Lands would rush to take our place.”

The elders nodded solemnly.

Overseas shopping was so lucrative, that if the news spread, many forces would clamor for it.

They couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

So, they set off immediately.

Before leaving, Elder Dugu went to the sect’s treasury to withdraw two million spirit stones.

The Celestial Sword Sect would cover the procurement costs for overseas shopping.

Heavenly Origin Sacred Land would settle the payment and share of profits once the goods arrived.

Though the Celestial Sword Sect was not wealthy, they could still manage a few million high-grade spirit stones.

After assigning procurement tasks and distributing spirit stones to the elders, the elders of the Celestial Sword Sect set off at once, transforming into streams of light and racing across Mingwang Province.

Hope shone in each face, eyes gleaming.

The hard times for the Celestial Sword Sect were finally coming to an end.

At last, they too could enjoy the wealth of other Sacred Land elders.

The thought of prosperity fueled their determination.

Who would choose to remain poor when wealth beckons?

—

The next day, several shops in Mingwang Province received visitors from the Celestial Sword Sect.

These visitors were lavish in their spending, buying in bulk.

Some shops were nearly emptied.

This surprised many cultivators in Mingwang Province.

After all, the Celestial Sword Sect was famously poor.

How did they suddenly appear so wealthy?

But it was only a passing surprise.

Mingwang Province was vast, and the Celestial Sword Sect’s actions didn’t draw much attention.

In the following days, the popularity of overseas shopping on Immortal Net Weibo in Great Yan Province started to fade.

After all, most people couldn’t afford it.

But on the fourth day, Immortal Net Weibo began to fill with posts showcasing overseas shopping hauls, bringing a renewed surge of interest.

The Jade Pond Saint Master posted a selfie.

Standing above the Jade Pond in a Celestial Transformation Garment, her ethereal beauty looked as if a fairy had descended from the heavens.

The selfie quickly drew countless cultivators’ attention, even making it to the trending list.

“No wonder she’s the Jade Pond Saint Master. She can buy a 200,000 high-grade spirit stone Celestial Transformation Garment on a whim.”

“The delivery speed for overseas shopping is impressive. Across a whole continent, and it arrived in just four days.”

“The Jade Pond Saint Master is truly beautiful, living up to her reputation as the number one beauty!”

“Saint Master, I’m Elder Swordheart of the Celestial Sword Sect, a mid-stage Deity Transformation cultivator. I’d gladly come to Great Yan province at any time to meet you!”

The Saint Master’s post drew a swarm of admirers, including some from Mingwang Province.

Many young cultivators also posted pictures of their overseas shopping deliveries.

One such “immortal second generation” named Wang Siming was particularly outrageous.

Though only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had ordered over a thousand Big Moon Heart Pills, enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator for three years.

And that wasn’t all.

He even ordered a treasure worth 5,000 high-grade spirit stones to gift a Golden Core beauty ranked 120th in a past beauty contest, sparking envious and jealous gazes.

Many muttered their disapproval, cursing him as a spendthrift.

But what could they do? He had a wealthy father.

Wang Siming was in high spirits.

The moment he saw that Golden Core beauty, he knew he’d found true love.

Unfortunately, she had always been distant toward him.

Even though he gifted pills and treasures, she was indifferent and wouldn’t accept them.

But now with overseas shopping, the treasure delivered from across the sea finally won her over, and she even thanked him.

This made Wang Siming fall in love with overseas shopping.

For a second-generation immortal like him, this was the perfect way to impress!
