Chapter 88: Breaking Free: The Art of Illusion
"Alright, this road is her own fault. If you are soft-hearted now, all your efforts will be wasted. Stop talking about it."

Tianjiang Water Emperor suddenly stood up and walked away.

But after leaving the hall, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Gu Zhenzai was right, there is no construction without destruction. He had never been able to bear it before, but now that he had done it, there was no turning back.

He can only trust Gu Zhenzai!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chant a spell under his breath and logged into the Internet.

Clicking on the online course interface, looking at the countless dance videos with far more views under Ouyang Mi’s account, his eyes were filled with both heartache and a bit of pride.

He had to admit that his daughter was very outstanding. Even after leaving the Tianjiang Water Emperor Palace, she still had a considerable income on her own.

Although it was helped by the Internet.

But it’s still a skill, isn’t it?
But being too good is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

According to the original plan, the ultimate purpose of driving Ouyang Mi away was to dampen her enthusiasm and make her take the initiative to join the Internet Palace.

As a result, now, she can support herself with the help of dance videos, and seems to be living a very carefree life!

If this continues, I wonder when it will end?
No, I still have to find an opportunity to visit Gu Zhenzai and discuss countermeasures.

While his thoughts were wandering, a pop-up window startled Emperor Jiujiang.

[Congratulations, the 1,000 shares you reserved have been issued to your account, please check it carefully. ]

'The Internet is...listed?'

Tianjiang Shuidi calculated with his fingers and realized that today was the time for the listing.

He casually clicked on the listed section and saw that on the simple interface, there was only one stock, "Internet", occupying the main page alone.

When I opened the Internet again, an extremely bizarre page appeared.

Even though Tianjiang Water Emperor was quite intelligent, it took him a long time to figure it out.

At this time, he was surprised to find that the Internet stock, which was priced at one incense stick per share, had actually climbed to three incense sticks per share, and the number was still rising.

"It's quite interesting!"

Tianjiang Shuidi smiled and said he was not surprised by the result. He even took the initiative to increase the price to purchase it.

For ordinary practitioners, they may feel that one stick of incense is not worth it;

Little did they know that for the immortals and gods in the sky, this was actually a good deal;
Because their lifespan is too long.

……

Compared to the calmness of Tianjiang Water Emperor at this moment;

The inspector of the Yong County City God Palace was already wavering;

He looked carefully at the number of stocks in the background. The six thousand shares that appeared out of nowhere made his mind wander and his heart waver.

He had already been informed by Gu Zhenzai, so he naturally believed that he could make an appointment to buy stocks.

However, he was familiar with the rules and knew that each account could only reserve one thousand stocks.

But he came up with six thousand stocks.

Others couldn't understand this number, but he understood it at a glance.

At the beginning, he borrowed 60,000 incense sticks from Gu Zhenzai to buy the five elements spiritual objects.

Today, Gu Zhenzai gave him 6,000 stocks.

Looking at the background, the rising numbers are enough to prove its value, which will eventually far exceed 60,000 incense sticks.

"He Chang, the inspector general, thanks Gu Zhenzai!"

With his heart beating fast, the inspector bowed in the direction of the Internet Palace.

……

……

In the eyes of many people, the Internet's listing seemed very hasty.

Little did they know that this was a time that had already been scheduled.

In addition, it has been preheated for a long time, and once it was launched on the market, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

Community forums have also become the best place for communication. "May I ask all of you, what does the curve on the listing interface that is curved like a dragon and keeps rising mean?"

"That's the stock price trend. The leader is the latest price. As of noon, one share has already sold for two incense sticks."

"What? Two incense sticks for one share? Didn't we agree on one incense stick for one share? How come it became two incense sticks?"

"You don't understand, right? When it is issued, it is one share per stick of incense, but after it is issued, it can be bought and sold freely, and the price can be set at will. If someone is willing to buy at a high price, naturally there will be someone willing to sell at a high price!"

"Hahahaha, I won a thousand shares by appointment. I sold them at noon and made a net profit of a thousand incense sticks. What a great pleasure!"

"It's a loss. According to the current trend, I'm afraid it will rise to three incense sticks per share in the afternoon."

“It’s unbelievable and incomprehensible. Who is buying at such a high price? Is Internet equity worth so much money?”

"According to rumors, it is said that this is a purchase by the gods and immortals. They have a long life span and can afford to wait for the Internet dividend."

"Is there still such a thing?"

For a time, many netizens were discussing;
However, at this time, most netizens did not realize the real way to play stocks, and were more discussing its value itself.

However, the wise see things before they arise.

While most people are waiting and watching, what have very few people realized?
With gritted teeth and stomped feet, he quietly joined the subscription queue.

……

……

While people on earth were discussing Internet stocks, Gu Yunli turned a deaf ear to it and was paying a visit to the spiritual officer of the Heavenly Medical Division in the Immortal Palace.

This immortal official may not seem to be well-known, but he is actually a fourth-rank immortal official.

He is in charge of the Medical Department of the Immortal Court and his status is so unique that even the third-rank officials would be polite to him when they meet him.

After all, who can guarantee that they will always be healthy?

Therefore, even Gu Yunli did not dare to be arrogant.

After promising to quickly open a medical section for the spiritual officer of the Tianyi Division, Gu Yunli asked:
"May I ask the Immortal Venerable, in this state, can I still cultivate a physical body?"

"Gu Zhenzai's body of earth dragon is the essence of heaven and earth. Why do you ask this question?"

The spiritual officer of the Heavenly Doctor Department showed a strange look on his face.

“To be honest with you, Immortal Venerable, my innate magical power is not compatible with this physical body, so I think that if I had a physical body, I would be able to make further progress.”

Gu Yunli was talking nonsense.

"I see. May I ask if Gu Zhenzai still has any remains of bones?"

“None.”

"Oh, this is troublesome. If there are bones, even a hair, I can revive the dead. But without bones, I can't do anything!"

"Is there no other way?"

"The body of flesh and blood is inherited from parents. Without blood left behind, even with the power of heaven and earth, it is impossible to reshape the body."

Gu Yunli fell silent after hearing this.

"However, if Gu Zhenzai wants to solve the problem of his innate magical power, I do have a way."

"Oh? What method?"

"Gu Zhenzai may be able to cultivate a phantom body to replace his real body."

"Phantom body?"

Gu Yunli was surprised, and his mind moved, and he started searching in the huge database of the Internet.

It didn't take long before a rough outline was pieced together from the fragmented information.

At this time, the spiritual officer of the Heavenly Doctor Department also explained:

"This is a technique derived from Buddhism. The Perfect Enlightenment Sutra says: When the illusory body of sentient beings is destroyed, their illusory mind is also destroyed. The Three Thousand Great Ways record sentient beings, and sentient beings are also the Three Thousand Great Ways. This technique can intercept the imprint of the Great Way and cultivate an invisible and indestructible body, which is most compatible with the soul and spirit, and even more compatible with the Three Thousand Great Ways."

Gu Yunli suppressed his excitement and asked calmly:

"Does the Immortal Venerable have such a method?"
