Red Phoenix Star Talisman and Immortal Divorce Talisman (20,000 words today, please vote!)

It was hard to imagine, in an era when Early Qi Refinement cultivators earned an average of 10 Spirit Coins, Middle Qi Refinement cultivators 30, and Late Qi Refinement cultivators 50...

An outstanding Junior College student representing his school in the Dao Tournament could earn 12,000 Spirit Coins from a few advertising endorsements. That was equivalent to twenty years of ordinary wages for a Late Qi Refinement cultivator.

What a thought.

Wealth in the Immortal Estate was distributed far too unevenly.

And what did Chen Zhuo think of that?

Chen Zhuo was the one pocketing those 12,000 Spirit Coins. What else could he think? He would spend them.

Before, Chen Zhuo had wondered how ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators could afford potions and Magical Artifacts at such outrageous prices. The pricing had seemed completely unreasonable.

Only now did he realize those things had never been meant for ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators.

Ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators could make do with inferior pills full of Pill Toxin. They would never have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm anyway, so what use did they have for a pure, flawless Qi Sea?

Chen Zhuo was rich now, and he intended to do some shopping. Perhaps he would buy a Magical Artifact.

But just as he opened a secondhand Magical Artifact shop, a message arrived from Sijing.

[Sijing]: Brother Zhuo, are you there? A few colleagues from Shennong City came to our lab with a processed fruit that can increase Divine Sense. Just chew and eat it. Want to try some?

[Sijing]: It's certified to Immortal Estate national standards, so the quality is guaranteed. It's not too expensive either, around 5,000 Spirit Coins a bag. I ate one. It really cleared my head, and the effect was noticeable. My Divine Sense increased a little.
