Walking among the beautiful flowers in the core area of the sect, a look of shock and astonishment was plastered on her face.
"How did he make such a magical artifact…?" she murmured.
She was enamored by what she had just witnessed in the Refining Hall. Thinking of the magical artifact, a look of longing appeared on her face.
"I must get my hands on it immediately," she vowed.
No matter the cost, she would buy it.
"Master, what are you thinking?" A sweet female voice came from the front.
'Hum!'
The elder raised her head and looked at her disciple.
"Ah! Jin Ru…" she called, unable to contain her excitement about the magical Spirit Smartphone.
Quickly, she explained the newly created Spirit Smartphone to her disciple.
"Master, are you telling the truth?" Jin Ru asked skeptically.
How could there be such a magical artifact?
"Do you think your master has nothing better to do than lie to you?" Elder Duan scoffed angrily and headed to her peak.
"Master, I'm sorry, but I had to be sure." Jin Ru rushed after her master and held her hand.
"Silly child. I was not the only one who saw it. All the elders, including the Sect Master, saw it."
"Haha! That silly Radiant Sect thought they could challenge the Sect Master's son. How foolish can they be?" She laughed, imagining their faces when they saw the Spirit Smartphone.
"Master, can I see the Spirit Smartphone?" Jin Ru asked. She wanted to see the magical device that had her master smiling like a fool.
"Don't worry. It will be available for sale in three days. Ah! I need to gather all my spirit stones."
"Ah! What do I do? I don't have enough spirit stones," she murmured, rushing to gather them for the Spirit Smartphone.
Unknown to her, she was not the only one. All the elders in the sect were scrambling to prepare their spirit stones for the upcoming sale of the Spirit Smartphone.
Inside the Sect Master's villa, Liu Zexian held the latest Spirit Link—known as the Spirit Smartphone—in her hands, grinning from ear to ear.
"How did my son create such a magical device?" she whispered before striking another pose. A flash of light emitted from the Spirit Smartphone.
Like a little girl, she eagerly checked the screen to see the result. Her picture was displayed on the Spirit Smartphone.
"Ha! I'm getting older; my face is not as bright as before."
"I need to do more enticing poses!" she murmured, continuing to take pictures with a face full of smiles.
Mo Jian had gone all out on the Spirit Link, copying all the features of his previous smartphones.
The latest Spirit Link had both front and back cameras, a hundred times better than those from his previous life.
Apart from that, the sleek screen design had two apps—a phonebook and a messaging app.
He planned to develop more advanced apps later.
Inside the sect's grand hall, Mo Jian and Zhao Tian were in discussion with the Sect Master and the Supreme Elders.
"Son, that percentage is too small. You're part of the sect. You must contribute more," the Sect Master said earnestly.
"That's why I'm selling it to the sect at half the price," Mo Jian responded calmly.
"But the 20% share is too small," his father insisted.
Just as Mo Jian was about to argue further, Supreme Elder Zhao spoke up. He was already tired of the back-and-forth between father and son.
"I know what you've done for the sect. But you must understand, the sect is currently struggling. With your help, we can rise to our former glory."
"Besides, you need the sect more than you realize."
Mo Jian looked at Elder Zhao and thought for a moment. He knew he couldn't push too far, so he nodded.
"40%, but the sect must provide manpower and assist me whenever I need help."
"Haha! Don't worry. The sect has your back."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they finally reached an agreement.
Zhao Tian had been sweating bullets, watching Mo Jian argue with his father over the percentage share.
Leaving the grand hall, Mo Jian turned to Zhao Tian. "Are all our stores ready for operation?"
"Yes," Zhao Tian nodded confidently.
"Good. We must spread the Spirit Link's fame throughout the Western Region. As for the Radiant Sect, I can't wait for them to cry," Mo Jian grinned evilly.
Mo Jian wasn't concerned about the expenses. He was going big with the launch.
His plan was to unveil the Thousand Wealth Chamber in a single, grand reveal to everyone in the Western Region.
News quickly spread throughout the Western Region that the Dust Valley Sect was about to unveil its newest product.
The inhabitants of Dust Valley City were full of anticipation. Although many had already purchased the Wind Echo of the Radiant, they were still excited by the news.
However, the two other cities under Dust Valley Sect did not share Dust Valley City's enthusiasm.
Many powerful clans were simply waiting to see what the sect had been hiding all this time.
Meanwhile, in the regions under the Radiant Sect, people sneered at the news.
Inside the Radiant Sect, the Sect Master and the elders were grinning.
"Hahaha! I can't wait to see their faces when they fail," a male elder said with a light chuckle.
"Without the next upgrade, the Dust Valley Sect will fail completely," a female elder added with a smug smile.
"Hmph! With only the Common Grade and the Standard Grade, how could they hope to compete with us?" one of the Supreme Elders snorted.
"We must not forget they have the Deluxe Grade," Elder Wen said with a solemn expression.
"That's useless. It only works within their sect and Dust Valley City," another Supreme Elder countered.
"Let's just wait for their opening day," the Sect Master said with an evil grin.
Since they couldn't reverse-engineer the Spirit Link, they had instead focused on upgrading the traditional talisman. The result was better than they had imagined.
Finally, the day of the grand opening arrived. Both the Dust Valley Sect disciples and elders were fully prepared.
Across the cities and towns, the Thousand Wealth Chamber opened its doors for the first time.
