A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 34

Although Wu Xuanyuan and the others were somewhat skeptical of their grandfather’s decision, they did not argue against it. Especially upon hearing that Wu Yidao’s talent was not inferior to Wu Yifan’s, they concluded that staying within the Wu Family would only hinder his growth. Wu Xuanyuan looked at Wu Qiankun with a smug expression, as if to say, “Look, my son’s talent is almost as good as yours.”

Who would have thought that Wu Qiankun had been bragging about his son’s exceptional talent in front of Wu Xuanyuan and the others all this time? Alas, he could only become a burden to his son. The others could hardly stand it anymore, so when they got a chance to retaliate, they didn’t let it pass.

Thus, while Wu Yidao was left bewildered, Wu Xuanyuan expelled him from the family. Wu Xuanyuan and Li Yulong also earnestly urged him, “Son, remember to work hard on your cultivation out there and be careful about your safety. If nothing major happens, don’t contact us; this is your resource.”

After saying that, Wu Xuanyuan and Li Yulong vanished. After all, they now had mobile phones, so it wasn’t a hassle to stay in touch.

Under the guidance of Wu Rulong, the entire Wu Family acquired mobile phones and even set up a family group chat. However, since the Base Station had not yet been established in the Central Region, Wu Hao had not yet joined the group chat.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the mobile phone launch arrived, and the entrance of the Wu Commerce Association branches in the Southern Region was crowded with people.

When the staff opened the doors and saw the crowd, they were startled, but quickly regained their composure and shouted with a smile, “Don’t rush! One at a time to buy phones, line up, or we won’t sell!”

Upon hearing this, the crowds surrounding the Wu Commerce Association quickly organized themselves into a line. Of course, since it was the first day of sales, most of the crowd consisted of cultivators; ordinary folks wouldn’t pull out ten low-grade Spirit Stones to make a purchase without understanding the phone’s capabilities first.

Soon, as the line formed, phones began to change hands. Under the guidance of the staff, they quickly learned how to operate the phones and were filled with astonishment.

They clearly hadn’t expected the Wu Commerce Association to possess such capability to connect all the phones, enabling communication between people even on opposite ends of the Southern Region within just a few minutes.

Before long, the day passed. Sitting in the headquarters, Wu Rulong wore a relaxed expression, while Ouyang Feng and others around him appeared anxious until the latest report finally arrived.

“President, today our mobile phone sales reached a staggering forty-nine million five hundred thousand units. This includes fifty million units for ordinary cultivators, thirty-five million for refined cultivators, and ten million for luxury cultivators, bringing in a terrifying revenue of one hundred three thousand five hundred fifty Supreme Spirit Stones.”

Hearing about this shocking sales figure, everyone present couldn’t help but feel excited. After all, it was only the first day, which meant that sales would continue to rise in the future.

Of course, Wu Rulong had also implemented a few tweaks to the phones, embedding a formation to ensure their lifespan and making them impossible to disassemble, thus preventing copying.

As for the lifespan, ordinary people’s phones would be discarded after ten years, while those for cultivators would last about a hundred years; that’s for the regular cultivator version. The refined and luxury versions last five hundred years and two thousand years, respectively, as they are the upgraded models, so they definitely need to last longer.

“Alright, everyone, quiet down. Pass the word, it’s time for our various software to start running. We can’t let our phones have issues with quality on the very first day,” Wu Rulong stood up and addressed the group.

Ouyang Feng and the others echoed, “Understood.”

At the same time, the first cultivator in the Southern Region to get a phone was Chen Yuming, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had originally felt bored before purchasing the phone upon seeing that it required only a small amount of Spirit Stones and offered entertainment and cultivation assistance.

With the help of the staff, Chen Yuming quickly understood the phone’s functions; it could connect to the internet, allowing for gaming and social interactions. If he wanted to spend more money, there were also cultivation assistance features, such as gathering Spirit Qi.

However, it was clear that Chen Yuming did not want to use the Spirit Qi gathering function just yet; after all, if that was all he wanted, he could simply set up a formation to gather Spirit Qi without any need for a phone.

Before long, Chen Yuming found an app called Weibo on the phone and clicked on it. It was said that he could see others’ lives there, regardless of their cultivation level.

Upon clicking in and completing the registration process according to the provided steps, he quickly saw a message posted by none other than Shen Wanyun, the Holy Lord of the Divine Dynasty.

“Hello everyone, I am Shen Wanyun, the Holy Lord of the Divine Dynasty. From today onwards, I am officially on Weibo.”

To his astonishment, the screen displayed Shen Wanyun himself. Moreover, not only Shen Wanyun, but the other Holy Lords of the Three Great Dynasties also started posting videos one after another, causing Chen Yuming to gasp multiple times in disbelief.

“What! I can’t believe such a small phone can even connect the Holy Lords of the Four Great Dynasties!”

Unbeknownst to Chen Yuming, the Holy Lords of the Four Great Dynasties had already been using the most luxurious phones for a week before the launch event, being far ahead of the people in the Xuantian Realm. They simply couldn’t go online at that time, which is why they hadn’t released anything yet.

It was not just Chen Yuming who was shocked; other beings in the Southern Region, as well as the people from the Four Great Dynasties, felt the same astonishment.

In the Myriad Flower Holy Land, the Holy Lord Murong Huang listened to the scout’s message with an extremely solemn expression.

The Four Great Dynasties had branches in the Five Regions, so soon after the phone launch, the Four Great Sacred Lands also received this news.

“Interesting. Such a thing must be in the hands of my Myriad Flower Holy Land. I should take a look,” the Holy Lord resolved.

In Murong Huang’s eyes, a glimmer of ambition flashed. If he could bring the technology behind mobile phones under the control of his Myriad Flower Holy Land, then his Holy Land would definitely surpass the other three and become the premier Holy Land! The other three Holy Lands are the Green Lotus Holy Land, Gentle Water Holy Land, and Frightening Thunder Holy Land.

Upon learning of the existence of mobile phones, the Holy Lords of the Green Lotus Holy Land, Gentle Water Holy Land, and Frightening Thunder Holy Land also recognized the significance of the event. They gathered their resources and rushed to the Southern Region, determined to secure these phones for their own. No matter what, they could not allow this technology to fall into the hands of rival forces.

Meanwhile, Wu Rulong was still unaware that the Holy Lords of the Four Great Sacred Lands were coming this way. He was busily managing his Wu Commerce Association, and with the launch of the mobile phones, the daily net profit of the Wu Commerce Association had reached a terrifying level of over ten thousand Supreme Spirit Stones.

It should be noted that this was just in a day; over a year, that would amount to 3,650,000 Supreme Spirit Stones. Even combined, the total profits of the Four Great Sacred Lands would be around this number each year. If this continued over the long term, surpassing the Four Great Sacred Lands would definitely not be a problem.
