Chapter 193: Version 1.5 Update! Turning Losses into Profits
“Immortal Net Taobao?”
The elders were initially taken aback upon hearing the name but soon began to nod thoughtfully.
“Good name, good name!”
“Indeed, ‘Taobao’ fits perfectly. Through this new application, one can search for treasures across the world. The term ‘Taobao’ is incredibly apt!”
“Our Saint Master always comes up with names that seem ordinary but are actually full of meaning!”
“My son is about to be born. I must ask the Saint Master to name him!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch his mouth in amusement.
For a moment, he truly wanted to send these elders to Earth to learn how to praise without being obvious.
Ye Chen pondered and then spoke, “After Immortal Net Taobao goes live, it won’t look good if it’s empty with no products.
“We at Heavenly Origin Sacred Land should open an online store first.
“We’ll list Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicators, Supreme Spirit Communicators, and Immortal Net Image Stones in the online store.”
Opening an online store held little significance for Heavenly Origin Sacred Land itself.
They had already established over 1,400 Heavenly Origin Pavilions and planned to reach 2,000 by the end of the year.
Therefore, having an online store had minimal impact on them.
Moreover, the market for Heavenly Origin Litle Spirit Communicators was already saturated, with daily sales dropping to 200,000.
Listing them online was just a formality.
However, while an online store might be insignificant for Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, it was quite significant for other forces.
For instance, the other three Sacred Lands primarily had stores in Immortal Cities.
Opening an online store would allow them to reach more areas and sell more products.
If an online store was useful for the three Sacred Lands, it was even more so for the smaller forces in Great Yan Province.
With the business matters discussed, the meeting concluded.
The Foreign Affairs Elder went off to handle the online store setup, while the other elders remained excited, reluctant to disperse, and continued discussing Immortal Net Taobao.
It was evident to all that they were about to gain another powerful tool for making money.
No, not just one, but two, because Immortal Net Delivery was also about to turn its fortunes around.
Reflecting on this, everyone was filled with admiration.
Their Saint Master was truly a genius who could turn decay into magic.
After the meeting, Ye Chen returned to the Saint Master’s Peak and updated the name of the new application on the Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll.
It was already evening by then.
Ye Chen leisurely sat on a cliff, gazing at the sunset, feeling at peace.
Gu Yunyun was in seclusion and had not emerged yet, which was normal for a cultivator who might stay in seclusion for a year or two after gaining some insight.
Ye Chen, who went into and out of seclusion frequently, was actually an exception.
His master, Nangong Wan, was recovering from injuries.
The damage to her divine sense was quite severe.
However, the major forces shook their heads, believing that the predicament faced by Immortal Net Delivery was unsolvable.

At the Great Mystery Sacred Land, the Great Mystery Saint Master sneered as he read Ye Chen’s update.
“At this point, he’s still stubbornly refusing to shut down Immortal Net Delivery, even claiming it will soon turn a profit and that couriers will earn over a thousand a month. Does he even believe his own words? Ye Chen is probably unable to accept his failure. The more he insists, the more it shows how deeply he’s been affected! If Ye Chen collapses from this, it would be even better!”
The Great Mystery Saint Master felt exceptionally cheerful, and most of the elders in Great Mystery Sacred Land also believed that Immortal Net Delivery was beyond saving.
They thought Ye Chen’s words were impossible to achieve.
However, a few elders pondered aloud, “But the confidence in the Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s words doesn’t seem forced. Could he have really thought of a solution? After all, he has achieved so many impossible things and changed the entire Great Yan Province.”
The Great Mystery Saint Master immediately shook his head. “Absolutely not. There simply aren’t enough cultivators who need to send packages. It’s a dead end. Heavenly Origin Sacred Land can’t force people to send packages, can they? If Ye Chen truly manages to revive Immortal Net Delivery, I’ll bite and swallow the new Dao artifact I’ve refined.”
Hearing this, the elders laughed.
Indeed, everyone knew why Immortal Net Delivery was failing: there was no demand.
There was no way to solve this problem, so the Heavenly Origin Saint Master was just putting on a brave face.
They continued reading the second announcement from the Heavenly Origin Saint Master.
“Second, tomorrow at noon, Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator will receive a version 1.5 update, adding new features! Stay tuned!”
With this, Ye Chen’s post ended.
But these few short sentences instantly brightened the eyes of countless cultivators.
Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator was getting new features again?
Every new feature added to the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator had been a hit, each one remarkable.
Even the supposedly failed Immortal Net Delivery had been well-received by most cultivators.
Now there were new features on the way, how could they not be excited?
Quickly, Immortal Net Weibo was filled with speculation and discussion about the new features, making it the hottest topic around.
In Great Mystery Sacred Land, the elders were also moved by this news.
Another new feature for the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator?
What could it be?
Even they couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
But the Great Mystery Saint Master clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“Ye Chen is getting desperate. He used to release new features for the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator every two to three months. Now, it’s only been a week since Immortal Net Delivery launched, and he’s already pushing out a new feature. Isn’t this a sign of his desperation due to Immortal Net Delivery’s failure? Rushing out a new application to cover up the failure of Immortal Net Delivery. But how good can something released in such a hurry be? It might not even be as good as Immortal Net Delivery. It seems that the blow from Immortal Net Delivery’s failure has truly affected Ye Chen’s mindset. After all, he is still young!”
By the end of his speech, the Great Mystery Saint Master was even more pleased.
If he still had his treasured Monkey Spirit Wine, he would have shared it in celebration.
The elders, upon hearing his analysis, nodded in agreement.
Indeed, this new feature seemed rushed, indicating that the Heavenly Origin Saint Master was somewhat desperate.
They couldn’t help but wonder if this new feature could still bring any surprises.

As countless cultivators in Great Yan Province eagerly anticipated, time moved quickly to the next day at noon.
At the same moment, all Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicators entered update mode, bringing the fifth application to life.
