I Have a Strange Disease That Kills Me Every Eight Days

I had just become a newbie in the world of cultivating immortals, and I was excitedly preparing to wield my sword to ride the wind and enjoy my grudges, when I heard the sound of "didi" clocking in from the work station next door. Turning around, I saw a man with a sallow complexion sighing: "I'm overdrawn again this month... When the liver's 'magic weapon assembly line' arrived last night, I still didn't have enough contribution points to exchange for the foundation building authorization code." Me: "??? Fellow Taoist, doesn't building the foundation require meditating in seclusion and channeling energy to break through the barrier?" He raised his head and looked at me like he was looking at an antique: "Brother, you just traveled through time, right? The version has been revised a long time ago. Now the foundation building is a 'cloud authorization system'. You have to save enough contribution points and go to 'Shenxuntong' to buy breakthrough codes, limited flash sales, and compete with hand speed and network speed. Last time I lost because the verification talisman was 0.1 Seconds slower." I tried to struggle: "Then... Can I have an epiphany by myself?" He patted my shoulder and pointed to the giant light tower in the sky: "Did you see it? The 'spiritual net' is completely covered, and all the free spiritual energy has been sucked away by the three giants. Realize for yourself? Illegal gathering of spirits, the Heavenly Punishment Palace will immediately issue a 'warning' to you, forfeit your spirit amount, count it against your credit, and you will not even be able to ride on a high-speed flying boat in the future." "What about the exercises? You have to practice something, right?" I held my last hope. He took out a luminous jade slip from his arms, swiped it skillfully, and the interface popped up: "'Wanfa Pavilion' APP, basic exercises are free, but with ads. Want to learn the full version of 'Nine Heavens Thunder Sky Zhengfa'? Recharge VIP. Want to unlock 'No Cooldown Spellcasting'? Buy the Supreme Annual Pass. Lao Wang from the group next door, a recharge pop-up window popped up at the critical moment of the last battle, and he disappeared immediately." I was completely confused: "What kind of immortal is this cultivator?!"
