Chapter 358

At Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, Ye Chen stretched lazily and slowly stood up.

Stepping out of his cave abode, Ye Chen gazed over the Sacred Land.

Within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, thirty floating peaks rose high into the clouds, exuding immense spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy within the Sacred Land was so dense, thanks to over a hundred large spirit-gathering formations, it was almost liquid-like.

As for the number of disciples in the Sacred Land, it had doubled compared to before.

Not only in Great Yan Province but also in Mingwang Province, countless geniuses now sought to enter the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land as their top choice.

Recently, even in Mingwang Province, numerous geniuses, supported by their families, pooled resources to travel via teleportation formations to join the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

This appeal made the current generation of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land disciples as numerous as a herd of cattle.

The average cultivation level within the Sacred Land had risen significantly as well.

The number of Nascent Soul Elders had increased by over forty in recent years, while there were tens of thousands of Golden Core cultivators.

Breakthroughs in cultivation happened daily among the disciples.

The only downside was that high-level combat strength above the Deity Transformation Realm remained somewhat lacking.

But given another hundred years, it was likely that there would be ten or more additional Deity Transformation cultivators.

Even a Great Advancement expert wasn’t out of the question.

When he thought about Great Advancement, Ye Chen couldn’t help but glance at the cave abode of the reclusive Supreme Elder.

When would he finally come out of seclusion?

If not for the rule against disturbing a cultivator in seclusion, Ye Chen would have already called him out and sent him a batch of rare treasures to aid his breakthrough.

The short video app was not yet completed, but its core functionalities were mostly ready.

Deciding to take a break, Ye Chen planned to rest for a while.

He sat with his master by the sea of clouds, watching the rolling clouds and the magnificent sunset.

His master leaned lazily against his shoulder, her flawless face radiating beauty.

A faint, captivating fragrance lingered at his nose.

Neither spoke a word, savoring the peaceful moment.

After a long while, as the sun set, Ye Chen asked, “What has Ke’er been busy with lately? I haven’t seen her around.”

Recently, Lin Ke’er hadn’t been showing her tea-making skills as often, and Ye Chen found himself a bit unaccustomed to the change.

Nangong Wan cast him a teasing glance and chided, “For someone who’s supposed to be her master, you don’t even know she’s been in seclusion, preparing to break through to the mid-Golden Core Realm.”

Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

It was true.

After taking Lin Ke’er as his disciple, he hadn’t really taught her much.

When she emerged from seclusion, he resolved to set aside time to properly mentor her, fulfilling his responsibilities as her master.

Still, being called irresponsible by his master made Ye Chen feel somewhat indignant.

“Weren’t you the same, Master? You just gave me the cultivation manuals and left me to figure out the rest.”

Nangong Wan’s face flushed red but quickly found a counterargument.

Lifting her elegant neck, she retorted, “That’s different! I was teaching according to your aptitude!

“From the moment I saw you in that little mountain village, I knew you were a genius who didn’t need conventional guidance.

“Look at your current cultivation. It’s proof of my sharp insight!”

Ye Chen burst out laughing at his master’s attempt to take credit for everything.

As they bantered, Ye Chen’s Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator rang.

Glancing at it, he saw it was a call from the Foreign Affairs Elder.

Judging by the timing, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

It seemed the elder was calling to report the profits from the Little Spirit Communicator sales.

As expected, when he answered, the Foreign Affairs Elder’s voice was filled with excitement,

“Saint Master, the Little Spirit Communicators crafted by our partners are selling like crazy!

“Most of them sold out immediately after hitting the shelves, and the partners are all requesting us to increase the supply of iron essence.

“Based on the reported sales figures, yesterday alone, we earned a profit of one million high-grade spirit stones just from our share of the sales.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.

A million high-grade spirit stones in a single day.

That translated to thirty million in a month.

Adding the original two million monthly income from the various applications, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s total revenue now reached fifty million high-grade spirit stones a month.

Compared to the five hundred million required for his next perfect breakthrough, he would have enough in just ten months.

However, what pleased Ye Chen the most wasn’t the revenue from Little Spirit Communicator sales.

The high earnings were primarily due to Mingwang Province being an untapped market with massive demand for the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator, similar to the situation in Great Yan Province back then.

Once the market in Mingwang Province saturated, sales and profits would inevitably decline.

Thus, the income from Little Spirit Communicator sales wouldn’t last long.

The key lay in the increasing number of cultivators in Mingwang Province using Little Spirit Communicators, which would drive a surge in revenue from the applications.

Currently, the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator’s applications generated two million monthly income in Great Yan Province, a market of one billion cultivators.

In Mingwang Province, with its ten billion cultivators, application revenue could easily increase tenfold, reaching an astounding two hundred million a month.

And that was the most conservative estimate.

Given that Mingwang Province’s cultivators were wealthier and had greater spending power than those in Great Yan Province, the total application revenue could potentially reach a staggering three hundred million high-grade spirit stones per month.

At that rate, Ye Chen would only need two months to accumulate enough resources for his perfect breakthrough to mid-Great Advancement Realm.

Thus, authorizing the production of Little Spirit Communicators wasn’t just about the direct sales profits.

The real goal was the rapid spread of Little Spirit Communicators across Mingwang Province, driven by the partners’ pursuit of profit.

And clearly, Ye Chen’s plan was succeeding.

Given the lucrative potential of Little Spirit Communicators, the partners were sparing no effort in production.

Soon, the output of Little Spirit Communicators across the cultivation world would reach unimaginable levels!
