"Please don't let my girlfriend see Chu Bingqing's Weibo, or I'll have to eat dirt again this month."
The comments below the Weibo were varied, but essentially, they were a few types of sentiments: one was the hope that Ling Zhenfei would quickly mass-produce the Xuantian Immortal Water mentioned by Chu Bingqing, so they could buy and see for themselves if the effects were as described by Chu Bingqing.
The second type was from those cheering for Chu Bingqing, urging Ling Zhenfei to quickly send a few boxes of Divine Immortal Water to her.
There were also skeptics because there were too many fancy advertisements on Weibo, so many doubted whether this was a joint advertisement between Chu Bingqing and Ling Zhenfei.
As for the Xuantian Divine Water, for Ling Zhenfei, it was a business with virtually no cost, but since he was the only one who had it, of course, he wanted to sell it for a good price.
Ling Zhenfei had long planned to put the Xuantian Divine Water on the market for mass production, and maybe now was a good time. Ling Zhenfei planned to respond to Chu Bingqing.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Chu Bingqing, the formula for Xuantian Immortal Water requires a large amount of Chinese herbal medicine to extract the essence, which slows down the mass production. However, after my efforts, I have already produced over a dozen bottles."
"Your bottle of Xuantian Immortal Water is ready for you to pick up at any time, and I've decided not to auction off the rest of the dozen or so bottles; I'll treat it as a prelude to advertisement expenses."
"I promise that Xuantian Spirit Spring Water is a care product I created after many years of trials using an ancient secret formula. It has benefits like skin whitening, wrinkle reduction, elimination of crow's feet, maintaining skin vitality, and with long-term use, it can restore cellular vitality, preserving youth."
"Share this Weibo of mine, and I will choose three people among the sharers to get one bottle each, draw three people from my fan club, each getting a bottle, and the top three with the most likes on the shared post will each get a bottle."
After posting this Weibo, Ling Zhenfei also mentioned Chu Bingqing and his official fan club Weibo.
Just a minute after it was posted, the Weibo began receiving frenzied shares and comments.
Many people were hoping to be lucky enough to get a slot, and as soon as Chu Bingqing said she had obtained the Divine Immortal Water auctioned by Ling Zhenfei, internet sleuths immediately deduced that it was the same bottle auctioned at the Dragon and Tiger Auction House.
Back then, the bottle of Divine Immortal Water was auctioned for a sky-high price of 1.5 million. Even though it was a unique item, the only bottle of its kind, the price was incredibly high. Even if they were to get ahold of the Divine Immortal Water and not use it, selling it could fetch a hefty price.
Believe that the price of Divine Immortal Water was definitely not affordable for ordinary people.
The comments section had all sorts of remarks, a wild mix of everything.
"Zhenfei baby, I want it, I want it..."
"It's all hype, just hype, I knew it was hype the moment Chu Bingqing posted on Weibo, and what do you know, the hype has started, hasn't it?"
"How much for one bottle? I want to buy it for my wife." A reply to this person read: 1.5 million a bottle at the auction.
"Forget it, I won't buy it. Please pick me in the giveaway; I've been your fan for ten years, grew up watching your dramas." Someone immediately replied below: "Scram!"
"If you, Ling Zhenfei, don't give it to me, I'll jump off a building and kill myself."
"If the person above dares to commit suicide, I dare to live-stream myself eating shit."
"..."
The Weibo post was re-shared tens of thousands of times in just a few minutes, and the comments kept pouring in; Ling Zhenfei's follower count skyrocketed, adding several hundred thousand new followers in just ten minutes. Of course, not all of these were actual fans—many were here for the prize draw among the fans.
Right then, Chu Bingqing updated her Weibo, re-sharing Ling Zhenfei's post and wrote, "Sweeties, give me likes, okay? If I get the most likes and win that bottle of Xuantian Immortal Water, I'll draw one fan to share half the bottle with them."
No sooner had Chu Bingqing finished sharing the post than someone re-shared her Weibo, questioning Chu Bingqing, "Bingbing, is this an ad or for real? Does it actually work that well?"
Chu Bingqing instantly replied, "Anyway, Ling Zhenfei didn't pay me, but if Ling Zhenfei wants to pay me for an ad, I'm open to it. I won't ask for much—just a hundred bottles of Xuantian Immortal Water and a lifetime ad slot." Then she tagged Ling Zhenfei.
Even though Ling Zhenfei didn't respond, Chu Bingqing's reply made things clear, and several female celebrities on Weibo started sharing the post, calling on their fans to help them get likes.
Unexpectedly for the netizens on Weibo, a few male celebrities also shared the post, which quickly drew public attention.
"Hey, you're a guy, why are you sharing this? What fuss are you trying to make?"
"Right? Competing with women for beauty products, is that fun?"
The male celebrities had no choice but to respond, "Sorry, it's my wife who wants it. Everyone, please like my post, or I'll have to kneel on the remote when I get home."
Just over an hour later, Xuantian Immortal Water hit the trending search, and the internet went wild all night, but none of this had anything to do with Ling Zhenfei by then, as he had already entered the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow to cultivate.
He was still affected by the Riming Flower's side effects and couldn't use all his Northern Spiritual Energy, so he had no choice but to continue cultivating in order to eliminate the Riming Flower's aftereffects.
His internal injuries were also slowly healing. The damage he suffered last time was severe and wouldn't fully heal that easily.
The next morning, Ling Zhenfei got out of bed bright and early. As the saying goes, "A day's planning lies in the morning," and for someone like him, a Spiritual Cultivator, this was even truer.
Ling Zhenfei stepped into the yard and suddenly noticed a small, peculiar tree in the corner.
The tree had a long, straight trunk with only a crown of tightly-clustered leaves at the top, giving it the appearance of an umbrella.
The tree felt out of place, as if a gust of wind would topple it, but it stood straight, unaffected by even the wind that passed.
Ling Zhenfei walked over in surprise, confirming that this odd tree was indeed the seed he had planted. He really hadn't expected that the seed, which had been stored so securely, would grow into such a strange tree.
He reasoned that such a well-protected seed could hardly be ordinary; this tree had to be special. But until it grew up, everything about it would remain unknown.
It had been only about a month since he planted it, and the tree had already grown taller than a person, proof enough that it was no ordinary tree—at least, it grew unusually fast.
Ling Zhenfei was examining the strange tree when, unexpectedly, Chunyu walked out of her room.
"Brother, you're up so early. Did you rest well?" Chunyu seemed very well-rested and looked great, which of course had a lot to do with her cultivation of Northern Spiritual Energy.
Chunyu had indeed grown a lot, experiencing huge changes since her arrival. The stages of Innate and Body Refining in Spiritual Cultivation are processes intended to rid the body of impurities, and for some with lesser talents, these phases could take a very long time.
