Zhang Shi, an ordinary casual cultivator in the foundation building period, inadvertently got the inheritance of an unknown monk when he was young, so he stepped into the cultivation realm, because his qualifications were mediocre, he was not favored by the big sect, and he didn't want to be constrained in the small sect, so he became a casual cultivator.

His qualifications are not very good, he is the worst Five Elements Pseudo-Spirit Root, it took him decades to reach the peak of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and he originally thought that this would be the case in this life. But I didn't expect that a few years ago, I found the ruins of an ancient monk, and got some good pills from it, which were of very high value, and it was the biggest property he had ever received in his life.

It's a pity that he is already in his seventies this year, although because he has stepped into the foundation building period, his life span has increased to more than three hundred years old, and his appearance does not age as fast as other mortals, and now he looks only in his forties, but it is a pity that his achievements in this life are probably like this, and the qualifications of the pseudo-spiritual root are too poor.

It happened that the Young Monks Contest was being held in Guantian City, and Zhang Shi happened to be nearby, so he planned to change his route here to watch the competition of young talents. Although he was over fifty years old and did not have the opportunity to compete, he also wanted to see the other monks fighting, and maybe get some experience from it.

Because the competition officially started half a year later, he didn't plan to go over immediately, staying in the city was a lot of expenses, and a casual cultivator like him couldn't afford it, so he decided to move slowly in the nearby mountains, and by the way, hunt some weaker demon beasts in the early stage of transformation, and sell them in Guantian City when the time comes, and they can also be exchanged for a living expenses.

If you're lucky, you might be able to find some hidden treasures, which are valuable things, as long as you sell them, maybe you will have a few years of living expenses. Unlike earthlings, the living expenses in the mouth of casual cultivation are not as simple as the cost of survival, but also include the consumption of cultivation.

There are also a lot of scattered cultivators in the cultivation realm, more than the number of disciples of the major sects combined, most of them are mediocre qualifications, and they can't catch up with the disciples of the major sects by absorbing spiritual energy alone, so they will use spirit stones to assist when cultivating, so they can slightly narrow the gap between each other.

In order to survive, the casual cultivators will do almost anything, hunting demon beasts, being hired by others, planting spirit grass, mining and refining tools, and even collecting money to kill people, as long as they can earn spirit stones, they will do it. This is also the helplessness of casual cultivation, because without the guidance of the sect, everything can only rely on oneself.

Although there are many people with ordinary qualifications in the casual cultivation, there is no shortage of some people with excellent spiritual roots, and the qualifications of these people are not even inferior to the elite disciples of the famous sects, but because they do not like the constraints of the sect and choose the path of casual cultivation, these people are much more comfortable than most low-level casual cultivators.

And Zhang Shi, as a member of Yunyun's scattered cultivation, was able to advance to the foundation building period, in addition to his previous good luck, of course, he also had his own means.

When he first came into contact with cultivation, he got a method of spiritual power training from the inheritance of that unknown monk, although it was not very clever, but it was still good for the spiritual power improvement of disciples in the Qi refining period.

After the spiritual power was raised to a certain level, Zhang Shi used all his savings to buy a low-level treasure hunting spell, as long as he cast it, he could sense whether there were abnormal aura fluctuations nearby, but it would consume a lot of mental power.

Because the level of this treasure hunting spell is low, the range covered is not far, only about a hundred meters, but Zhang Shi also relied on this ability to stumble in the cultivation realm, and finally broke into the current foundation building realm, which can be regarded as standing out among most of the scattered cultivation.

Today, he went deep into the Douwu Mountains to hunt demon beasts, and every time he passed a certain distance, Zhang Shi would subconsciously run a treasure hunting spell to see if there would be any treasures that were overlooked nearby. I didn't expect to make a discovery after just walking about a kilometer today.

Zhang Shi followed the instructions of the treasure hunting spell and found a place dozens of meters away, where a delicate rectangular box carved from trees lay on the ground. The box is quite mundane, just a section of an ordinary tree cut out and then painted around the perimeter to make it smooth and flat.

As soon as the box was opened, Zhang Shi immediately found that there was a black rectangular thing inside, the material was like metal, but the front was polished from smooth ore, which looked very chic, but it was cold to the touch. After taking out the black strange thing, I found that there was a booklet underneath, and the three big words "manual" were written on the front.

Zhang Shi guessed that the meaning of the manual should be used to introduce the unknown thing in his hand, right? It took a few minutes to read the manual, but the contents of it made Zhang Shi stunned.

From the introduction of the manual, it was known that the strange thing in his hand turned out to be called a mobile phone, Zhang Shi followed the guidance of the manual, and found a small prominent button at the top of the mobile phone, and after pressing it down for a few seconds, the screen of the mobile phone really lit up.

After reading the manual, Zhang Shi still had a skeptical attitude, he didn't expect that this thing called a mobile phone could really be activated with one finger, what kind of magic weapon is this? It can't be a magic weapon left over from ancient powers, right?

After the screen lit up, a series of gorgeous boot animations flashed quickly, Zhang Shi had never seen this thing before, and now the only feeling was shock and confusion. The boot animation is actually just some ribbon stripes dancing, which can only be regarded as a five-cent special effect for a TV series on Earth.

At the end of the boot animation, there is a cartoon "rice" word, which is a trademark, and there is also such a pattern on the back of the mobile phone, but Zhang Shi doesn't understand these. There are four Chinese characters below the trademark, Mimi Network, which is the name of the company, and the full name should be Mimi Network Technology Company, which are mentioned in the manual.

When the logo and company name disappear, the screen does not go to the main screen, but to the authentication screen, which is a necessary step to use the phone for the first time.

Zhang Shi followed the instructions in the manual and started the operation step by step. First, the name is entered, then the finger mold is pressed, the voice is extracted, and then the front camera of the phone is used for photo authentication. This is a new addition, and the lower-end version has a front-facing camera of only five megapixels, which is much better than most phones on the planet.

When Zhang Shi saw that the so-called lens was opened, his appearance appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, but he was startled and almost threw away the mobile phone. I was even in the mood to look at myself on the screen, and found that I had gone out early today, and I didn't have time to comb my hair, which looked a little messy.

After all the authentication is completed, a string of more than a dozen digits of numbers appeared in the center of the mobile phone screen, the manual mentioned, this is the phone number of the machine, please be sure to remember, in case of loss, Zhang Shi also specially recorded it with a blank jade slip.

After setting up a nine-square grid boot action,Zhang Shi finally entered the main interface of the phone,It's very concise,There are only a few icons,Each represents a different function,The manual has been clearly introduced。

Those icons are Messages, Phone, Contacts, Camera, Photos, Clock, Settings, and App Store.

Zhang Shi knew that sending messages and making calls required another monk with a mobile phone as the object, and now he couldn't use it, so he turned on the camera directly, followed the prompts of the manual, switched the front and rear lenses from time to time, and then took a few more photos, and sure enough, he recorded the scenery in front of him, which was really amazing.

In addition, there are several different photo format options, as well as video function, according to the explanation of the manual, the video is to use the lens to record what happened over a period of time, and then broadcast it, very powerful, just a camera, Zhang Shi played for more than half an hour.

Finally, after finally getting used to the camera, Zhang Shi turned his target to the app store, and according to the tips of the manual, as long as it is a mobile phone covered by the network, it can be connected to the network and download his favorite apps in it, although he doesn't know what the app means, but he still decided to give it a try.

After the app store opened, a prompt appeared in the middle of the screen, which turned out to be a top-up to connect to the Internet. According to the description of the manual, whether it is sending messages and making calls, or surfing the Internet, you need to consume mobile phone bill points, and mobile phone bills need to spend spirit stones to be exchanged.

Gritted his teeth, although it seemed like it was a wild conversation, Zhang Shi faintly felt that this was a big opportunity in front of him, and he decided to give it a go.

After clicking on the recharge option, a miniature teleportation array immediately appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, which slowly enlarged, and then detached from the screen, gradually materializing in the void, turning into a real teleportation array floating in the void.

Just one point, Zhang Shi, who has been in the cultivation world for most of his life, has never heard of it at all, which shows how powerful the people who make mobile phones are. According to the prompt, he put a hundred low-grade spirit stones into the teleportation array, which is most of his net worth, and then clicked on the confirmation option, these spirit stones were immediately teleported away, and the teleportation array began to disappear, and his mobile phone bill became 10,000 points.

According to the charging standard mentioned in the manual, a low-grade spirit stone is a hundred mobile phone bills, and each piece of information is limited to 200 words, and it takes a little mobile phone bill to be sent. The cost of making a call is much more expensive, consuming 20 points of mobile phone bill per minute within 10,000 kilometers of distance, and adding a little mobile phone bill for every 1,000 kilometers exceeded.

As long as you have been on the Internet today, you will be charged 100 points for mobile phone bills, and there will be no additional charges within this day, until the next morning to re-settle. In case some people accidentally surf the Internet, there is also a special switch next to the phone, which will be disconnected from the network as long as you pull it down, but you can also use the message and phone functions.

Of course, the mobile phone bill can also be refunded, but there will be an additional handling fee, and the price of a lower grade spirit stone needs to be paid for every hundred spirit stones returned, even if it is insufficient, it will be forced to charge.

After Zhang Shi finished recharging, he directly opened the app store, and the 100-point mobile phone bill was gone, but he just felt heartache for a while, and his eyes were fascinated by the large number of applications inside.

The number of applications is too much, Zhang Shi swiped several pages in a row, and he didn't finish reading all the programs, but most of them need to be charged, he ignored them for the time being, but downloaded all those free apps first.

One of the programs called Taotao attracted his attention, according to the above introduction, this is an online shopping program, as long as you open a store in it, other people with mobile phones can browse your store through this program, and can also trade directly through the mobile phone's teleportation array, there is no need to go to the city to set up stalls to sell as before, and there is no need to pay expensive rent, as long as you pay a thousand mobile phone bills every month, compared with those big cities, it is more than ten times cheaper, and it greatly discounts the casual cultivators.

I don't know why, Zhang Shi looked at this online shopping program, and suddenly had a crazy idea, he felt that he had thought about the dream of opening a store to do business, and maybe he could realize it through this online shopping program!
