Chapter 201: Buy Again and I’ll Cut Off My Hands! The Humiliation of the Great Mystery Saint Master!
Online shopping.
It had become the undeniable hot topic in today’s cultivation world.
Without leaving home, one could buy treasures from all over Gret Yan Province.
This novel shopping experience was unprecedented.
It was especially attractive.
Moreover, there were many payment methods available.
You could choose cash on delivery, which was even more convenient.
The only drawback was that online shopping only allowed you to see pictures, videos, and text descriptions of the goods.
Although this was detailed enough, it still could not compare to personally inspecting items in a store.
So sometimes, when the goods arrive and you inspect them, you find they were not quite what you imagined.
Fortunately, Immortal Net Taobao supported returns.
Before signing for the delivery, if you were not satisfied with the goods, you could directly choose to return them.
If the return was due to false advertising by the seller, you don’t even have to pay the shipping costs.
The seller would be punished.
But if the return was because you no longer want the item, you will need to pay both the shipping costs to send and return the item.
Wasting the shipping fee could be a bit painful.
But this minor flaw did not overshadow the advantages.
Overall, the user experience of Immortal Net Taobao was excellent.
On Immortal Net Weibo, there were countless discussions about Immortal Net Taobao.
“I found a Golden Core pill called Linghuo Dan, which contains a trace of extremely pure Wu fire, especially suitable for cultivators like us who practice Yang energy techniques. Taking it not only increases energy, but refining that trace of Wu fire also enhances the power of our Daoist techniques. Without Immortal Net Taobao, I might never have known there was such a perfect pill for me.”
“Immortal Net Taobao really has everything. I searched for months in the market but couldn’t find a suitable spirit tool. Then I searched on Immortal Net Taobao and found a bunch that fit my needs. I’m extremely satisfied with the spirit tool I just received, five-star review!”
“Fellow artifact refiners, have you bought the Qinglian Heart Fire from the Fire Alliance? Although it’s a bit pricey, I’m telling you, it’s super worth it. Once you refine the fire, your artifact refining efficiency will double. There’s just a little pain during the refining process, but just endure it for a bit!”
“Don’t believe the person above, I got scammed. The refining process was extremely painful! But the Qinglian Heart Fire is indeed useful. If it weren’t for Immortal Net Taobao, I might never have known about such an effective flame in the remote town of Huoyan.”
“You’re all thinking too small, fellow cultivators! Immortal Net Auction House is not just a place to buy things.”
“We have few artifact refiners here, so custom-made spirit tools are extremely expensive. So I found a shop in Central City, known as the city of artifact refiners, and asked if they could custom make something for me.”
“They agreed. After we negotiated the price, they crafted the spirit tool according to my requirements.”
“The item arrived yesterday, and I was thrilled. The quality is much higher than that of local refiners, and the cost was only two-thirds, truly a bargain!”
“No way, there’s such an option? I’ve learned something new, fellow cultivator, you’re amazing!”
“Please, I beg Immortal Net Taobao to go bankrupt soon. I don’t earn much, and since online shopping became available, my partner goes out every day to pick up packages, buying a lot of unnecessary stuff, making our already poor household even worse!”

“Can’t you stop your partner?”
“I can’t stop her at all. She even secretly shops at midnight, saying she can’t resist.”
“My partner is the same. She swore in the morning she would cut off her hands if she shopped again. But by noon, she couldn’t resist buying a special magic robe. I’m exhausted, but she looks so beautiful in that robe, we ended up…”
“No more chatting, today’s Bright Foundation Pill is finally on sale, I have to grab it.”
“Me too. The Xu family, a mere third-rate family, only puts 800,000 pills on sale each day, even the donkey plowing the fields is less lazy than their alchemists…”
Just by reading these comments, one could see the enthusiasm of cultivators for online shopping.
The popularity of Immortal Net Taobao was beyond doubt.
And the boom in Immortal Net Taobao directly led to a rapid increase in the number of express deliveries in the cultivation world.
In the past, except when you needed to send a package and called for a courier, most cultivators rarely saw couriers.
But now, couriers in blue uniforms hurrying about could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of cities and the market.
“Fellow cultivator, I’m at the door, please come sign for your package,” was a phrase heard constantly.
Even in the sky, you often see sword-wielding couriers in blue uniforms swiftly flying by.
Because online shopping required waiting, many customers in a hurry asked merchants to use express delivery.
Although the price was three times that of regular delivery, it’s fast, delivering by the next day.
So many people used express delivery!
There was no doubt.
Previously, people worried whether Immortal Net Express would shut down.
Now it’s booming!
Couriers no longer worried about going out of business.
In fact, with the recent explosive growth in delivery orders,
Their delivery fees were piling up.
Before, when the Saint Master said they could earn over a thousand a month, they didn’t dare dream of it.
But now, most couriers feel that as long as they work hard, earning over a thousand a month was no problem.
The Saint Master wasn’t exaggerating.
There’s a courier with a special family inheritance escape technique, as fast as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He delivered a thousand packages in one day.
Just the commission earned him a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
In a month, earning three thousand low-grade spirit stones was no problem.
For any Qi Refining Realm cultivator, that’s undoubtedly a huge sum.
This directly led to Immortal Net Cloud Classroom,
Where a course on escape techniques taught by a Nascent Soul Realm master, which used to be lukewarm, suddenly saw a surge in students.
All couriers learning.
After all, the faster they deliver, the more they earn.
Who could refuse that?
Many couriers, in addition to delivering packages, were filled with gratitude towards the high and mighty Heavenly Origin Saint Master.
If it weren’t for the Heavenly Origin Saint Master, how could they possibly have the chance to earn so many spirit stones?
Now, they could take online courses and buy pills.
With plenty of spirit stones to enhance themselves, they could walk further on the path of cultivation.
It could be said that the Heavenly Origin Saint Master changed all their destinies.
How could they not be grateful to the Heavenly Origin Saint Master?
Meanwhile, outside, the explosive success of Immortal Net Express was witnessed by everyone.
Whether ordinary cultivators or high-level figures from major forces, they were full of emotions.
The Immortal Net Express, which was initially expected to fail, suddenly became a hit!
Previously, the Heavenly Origin Saint Master posted on Weibo, saying that Immortal Net Express had not failed and would turn profitable and become popular.
There were doubts, but now, Immortal Net Express was booming.
The number of couriers skyrocketed, and earning over a thousand a month was no problem.
Everything the Heavenly Origin Saint Master said had come true.
All doubts had been dispelled.
This led everyone to be full of admiration.
The Heavenly Origin Saint Master was simply omnipotent.
He inspired genuine respect!

At the Great Mystery Sacred Land, the atmosphere was momentarily silent!
The face of the Great Mystery Saint Master was dark and uncertain.
If he had been stubborn before, now, he saw the couriers everywhere, his own disciples from the Great Mystery Sacred Land running to the mountain gate every day, a group lining up at the gate to receive packages, even some elders from his Sacred Land buying things from Immortal Net Taobao.
It was evident.
Immortal Net Express and Immortal Net Taobao were truly booming.
And they were incredibly popular.
He certainly couldn’t really eat the newly refined Dao artifacts.
Fortunately, the elders were quite tactful, and perhaps had forgotten.
They have tacitly not mentioned this matter.
The Penalty Elder spoke earnestly, “Saint Master, our Great Mystery Sacred Land must hurry to open an online store.”
Since the advent of online shopping, it brought an enormous impact on physical stores.
Although cultivators wouldn’t buy everything online, a significant portion of consumption has shifted online.
So, the business of most physical stores declined to varying degrees.
Many small merchants who couldn’t afford prime location rents have closed their shops, focusing on running online stores.
Nowadays, opening an online store had become a trend.
If you don’t open one, your business would be taken by those who do.
The Internal Affairs Elder further reported, “Saint Master, Jade Pond Sacred Land and Pure Serenity Sacred Land have opened online stores, and their businesses are booming.
“Jade Pond Sacred Land’s holy water sells over 500,000 units daily, reportedly more than tripling their previous business.
“And Pure Serenity Sacred Land’s formation plates are selling like hotcakes, especially the Zuxian formation plates usable by Foundation Establishment cultivators, which are in constant demand and need to be snatched up.
“Meanwhile, because our Great Mystery Sacred Land hasn’t opened an online store, the sales of storage rings have dropped by 20% compared to previous years. Our business has been taken by many online sellers of storage rings.
“If we don’t hurry, sales may continue to decline!”
Listening to the elders’ reports, the Great Mystery Saint Master’s face was gloomy.
He hated Ye Chen the most, hated Ye Chen for calling him a big fool, hated Ye Chen for suppressing him, hated Ye Chen for extorting him, hated Ye Chen for blocking his account.
He also hated that Ye Chen, as a fellow Saint Master of a Sacred Land, was constantly compared to him by the outside world.
Although no one dared to speak ill of him, Ye Chen clearly outshone him in every aspect.
The most painful thing for the Great Mystery Saint Master was that despite hating Ye Chen so much, he couldn’t avoid using Ye Chen’s creations.
He had to use the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator, buy advertising space, and now even open an online store.
Reluctantly helping his enemy Ye Chen make money.
It’s truly humiliating.
“In that case, let’s open one!” The Great Mystery Saint Master sighed.
He suddenly felt regret for drinking all the Monkey Spirit Wine to celebrate Ye Chen’s supposed failure…
Why can’t Ye Chen fail?
The boom in online shopping led more and more merchants to abandon hesitation and open online stores.
They were surprised to find that
After opening an online store, the advertising effect on Immortal Net Weibo improved significantly.
Previously, when they advertised, cultivators had to find the store first to buy things.
If the store was in a remote location, it was hard to find.
Cultivators might even be too lazy to look for it.
And if the cultivators’ city didn’t have a branch of their store, then advertising was in vain.
Because they couldn’t sell the goods to the customer.
No matter how loud the advertisement was, it was useless.
But with online stores, everything was different.
They could directly place a product link under the advertisement.
If a cultivator saw the ad and was interested, they didn’t even have to go out to buy.
They just needed to click the link to go directly to the online store.
If they liked it, they could place an order.
The advertising effect significantly improved…
