-In the Wuwei Daoist Alliance-
In the conference hall, Nalan Mingxue had a thick pile of documents before her. In slim and neat writing, she had written down everything from opening the shop, the layout of the interior, and the release of games.
“You sent the seniors to act as shop clerks in Innumerable-Immortal Sea?” Mr. Fang walked in and asked, not knowing if he should cry or laugh.
“Only they can do it right now.” Nalan Mingxue handed her business plan to Fang Qi and said, “Have a look at this.”
…
In the Innumerable-Immortal Sea, many immortals gathered in the Thousand-Lantern Immortal Market at the foot of Saint Emperor Mountain.
The Cloud Dream Three Eccentrics said with a chuckle, “This spiritual artifact looks interesting. But immortal friends, what’s the level of this Nine Palace Step?”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Tingyun said, “Our shop has ‘high immortal’ in its name. Any item in this shop are no less than the items that the high immortals are willing to use!”
“Besides, for each usage, you only need to pay…” He extended five fingers and said, “One-fifth of an immortal crystal!”
“What-!?” Cloud Dream Three Eccentrics exclaimed since the lowest-level of items that the high immortals were willing to use was Xuan-level, which was great for ordinary immortal cultivators!
“Is it true that we can use it for one-fifth of an immortal crystals each time?!”
Zong Wu nodded and said, “With one immortal crystal, you can buy five immortal tokens in the shop. With each immortal token, you can use this BBK Learning Machine for one session.”
The tall and thin man said, “Then, get me five immortal tokens.”
He stepped onto the Nine Palace Platform and turned on the spiritual artifact. As he looked at the screen, rhythmic music sounded from the spiritual artifact, but… this immortal cultivator looked a bit confused.
“Wait until the prelude of the music finishes,” Zong Wu explained, “Follow the beats and step on the corresponding square. Just imagine that you’re dodging your enemy’s attacks with this movement technique.
“Clank!” The tall and thin immortal cultivator stomped on the pad with great aggression.
The whole shop shook.
The expressions of all the people in the shop turned dark.
Due to the forcefulness of the first step, he had no time to do the second step, which led to the missing of several subsequent steps.
“Go lightly. This movement technique requires agile and ethereal steps as if you’re walking on the clouds,” Zong Wu said in a hurry, “The accuracy of the steps will affect your score and ranking; it will determine if you can unlock higher-level movement techniques. It’s not easy to dance well.”
“It has such wondrous uses?!” Everyone watched the tall and thin cultivator attentively and didn’t notice Zong Wu’s mistake in his wording.
“This spiritual artifact can not only train our steps but show us the right step style and rhythm as well?!”
Soon, the cultivator corrected his mistake and danced on the spiritual artifact nimbly.
“Gongzi…” Standing before the dance machine, the servant-looking young man beside the white-robed young master rubbed his hands, eager to try.
“What BBK Learning Machine!?” The white-robed young master smirked and said in disdain, “The prehistoric immortal movement techniques that I learned at the Dao-Hearing Pavilion are all profound and complex. How can you be so useless!?”
“You’re right, Young Master…”
“But… this artifact is interesting.” The white-robed young master said, “Let’s watch it for a while.”
As he watched calmly, the cultivator on the machine suddenly became profound and mysterious as he moved his feet, following the arrows on the screen…
The ethereal figure had blurry shadows around him. Moving with the beats, the tall and thin immortal cultivator yelled in astonishment, “This… it seems to be even better than the ordinary Xuan-level immortal movement techniques… I feel like I’m walking on the clouds-!”
Not daring to make a mistake, he stared at the falling arrows on the screen intently as his upper body swayed as if he was dodging an enemy’s attacks while his feet created clapping sounds on the platform.
With each step he took, the arrow on the screen shattered and turned into crisp and melodious music notes. When the steps were done perfectly, bright neon lights lit up. As his steps moved more and more accurately, the arrows on the screen fell even faster until his feet turned blurry.
It looked as if countless feet were moving on the platform while his body split into three and then nine shadows. At last, everyone saw nine exact same people dancing on the Nine Palace Array!
“This…?!” The white-robed young master stared at the scene dumbfoundedly and yelled in surprise, “Doppelgangers and instant teleportation!? This movement technique… is not only useful but elegant and dashing. Like a drunken immortal walking in the clouds, each step looks casual but extremely wondrous.
“This movement technique… is awesome! It’s more than a Xuan-level immortal movement technique. This…”
He looked at Zong Wu and others with an intense stare. “What’s the name of this movement technique?”
“It’s… um…” the latter exchanged a look. Finally, Gu Tingyu said, “Nine Palace Moon-Watching Step!”
“What a great Nine Palace Moon-Watching Step!” The white-robed young master said, “I, Yao Ji, will try the Nine Palace Moon-Watching Step today!”
He took out a pale golden immortal jade casually and tossed it onto the desk. “I’m in a good mood today. See how many tokens it can trade and bring them to me.”
Gu Tingyun picked up the immortal jade and examined it. “It’s worth at least 600 immortal crystals. You can get a membership card in our shop and deposit the immortal tokens on it, saving you the trouble of taking so many immortal tokens with you.”
“Do it! Do it! Bring me some immortal tokens.” Eagerly, Yao Ji stepped onto another Nine Palace Platform. “By the way, you said… we can unlock new movement techniques?”
Gu Tingyun nodded and said, “Of course. If you can use this movement technique perfectly, you can unlock a new movement technique. This shop is the High Immortal Arcade Game Hall. The shop only has rare and high-quality items, fitting for the enjoyment of high immortals.”
Reassured, Yao Ji inserted one token. As the music sounded, he cast a contemptuous glance at the tall and thin cultivator beside him.
“You’re a mere middle-level immortal; I’ll demonstrate the essence of this movement technique to you.” Standing on the Nine Palace Platform, Yao Ji swayed with the music, looking like a drunken immortal walking on the clouds.
As the arrows fell on the screen like dancing elves, his steps moved rhythmically.
“Young Master is indeed awesome!” The young servant exclaimed immediately.
The tall and thin cultivator glanced at Yao Ji as if he was surprised that the latter could move so smoothly and elegantly as a beginner.
“Humph! I, Xue Mang, might have less talent than you, but I won’t admit defeat to you on the Nine Palace Platform!” On the other side, that member of the Cloud Dream Three Eccentrics yelled.
People felt as if each step that the tall and thin man took had touched a string in their hearts. His body swayed with the steps like a dancing butterfly.
They competed with each other and made bright blurry shadows on the platform as they followed the instructions on the screens.
“I can feel the rhythm of life in these steps. With the music rhythm and the flashing lights, they seem to pour youthful passion into souls…” The young servant below the platform watched the two immortals dance as if he was watching an excellent battle of spiritual spells!
“I seem to feel like an emotion is going to erupt from the bottom of my heart. It feels as if my blood is burning!” In this atmosphere, the other two members of Cloud Dream Three Eccentrics looked enthusiastic as well.
At this moment, some passing immortal cultivators outside the shop heard a strange song coming from the shop, “Aiyaiyai! Let’s do it together… Aiyaiyai…Aiyaiyai.”
[TL Note: This is the song named Awaken by Taku Iwasaki, a japanese singer. It is used in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, an anime.]
They poked their heads into the shop curiously and saw two figures jumping and dancing. “What are they doing in the shop!?”
