Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 179 - 169: Sect Leader, I’ll Follow You in the Next Life!
"Is this thing the true form of the Master of the Red Face and White Bone Temple, Zhu Qingqing?"
Taibai Phecda pointed at the pink-haired puppy in Su Yuan’s arms, his expression peculiar.
"Absolutely, Teacher."
Su Yuan nodded confidently.
The former had no choice but to carefully inspect this abstract form.
During the inspection, it was discovered that the material of the seemingly abstract body was extraordinary.
Taibai Phecda confirmed that this was indeed Zhu Qingqing’s true form, and also confirmed that there wasn’t a trace of residual soul left inside it.
It seemed Zhu Qingqing was truly dead.
As for the possibility of her soul hiding in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?
Not to mention that it’s almost impossible for the Sect Leader of a top hundred Demon Sect to lower herself to become Su Yuan’s slave.
Even if she was forced to agree for her survival, a cultivator’s soul is incompatible with the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Unless Zhu Qingqing’s soul was perfectly translated into a Cyber Soul upon entering the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
But the probability of that is too low, nearly negligible.
So Taibai Phecda never even considered checking Su Yuan’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
After confirming that the pink-haired puppy was all right, he handed it back to Su Yuan.
Everyone present finally let out a complete sigh of relief.
The crisis of the Vermilion Face and White Bone Secret Realm was fully resolved.
Taibai Phecda patted Su Yuan on the shoulder with some relief:
"Thanks to you this time. On behalf of the expedition team members, I thank you."
After a pause, he still advised:
"But if possible, restrain yourself next time in front of so many people, don’t use so many demon techniques."
Su Yuan nodded decisively and said:
"Don’t worry, Teacher Taibai, demon cultivation techniques are just my means to solve problems. As long as there are no problems, I will definitely restrain myself."
Can’t really be at ease at all...
Taibai Phecda felt a bit weary and pinched his brow.
He had already heard from Ye Muyu about Su Yuan’s actions during the joint school exam.
One can only say that Su Yuan has no impact on him in academia, but in the field of education, it has ruined his reputation.
If this continues, his title of Taibai Sword Immortal might as well be changed to Taibai Sword Demon.
Out of sight, out of mind, Taibai Phecda immediately called someone to escort Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi out, no longer letting them participate in the subsequent archaeological work.
Before leaving, Su Yuan also learned from Ye Muyu that Grandpa Chen and the Chen Family had already gone back.
At the same time, they obtained a promise from Taibai Phecda.
If the Chen Family acts against them again, Taibai Phecda wouldn’t mind making a home visit to have a cordial discussion with Chen Yifeng regarding the child’s studies.
This promise greatly reassured Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.
The two of them confidently walked out of the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm and were sent directly back to Taihua City by a Flying Ship.
When they arrived in the city, it was only eight in the evening.
Just in time to catch the dinner reservation they had made to celebrate Chen Nuoyi’s birthday.
If they hadn’t been delayed by Captain Wang and others, Su Yuan could have returned to the city by nine in the morning, before going to school.
Speedrun players are like this.
The two didn’t leave the Flying Ship, and directly asked the driver to take them to the restaurant.
Wu Xingqi, Yin Qiyue, Chu Lanxi, and others who were originally going to attend the birthday party were already waiting in the restaurant’s private room.
They didn’t know that the two had personally entered the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm, so they sent a bunch of messages inquiring about the situation when the two went missing.
After communications were restored, the two immediately reported their safety.
After getting off the Flying Ship, and entering the reserved private room, familiar faces appeared before Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.
Yin Qiyue, Wu Ziying, Wu Xingqi, Chu Lanxi, Xiao Kong, and many other familiar classmates greeted the two with smiles, inviting them to sit.
A lively birthday party officially began.
The next day.
Su Yuan returned to his faithful classroom.
Although the heritage trial of the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm was cleared, the archaeological work was just beginning.
Taibai Phecda would need to stay there for about a month before returning.
During this period, Su Yuan could make a lot of money...cough, cough, give his classmates a lot of extra tutoring.
Especially Xiao Kong, the big spender, whom Su Yuan planned to target as the primary subject for intensive "attention".
The next year’s college entrance exams are on June 7th.
Meaning, the Top Ten Preparatory Classes will conduct admission assessments by the latest, December of this year.
Today is already October 15th, leaving only about two months, possibly even less, for sprinting towards the goal.
If Xiao Kong doesn’t get intensive tutoring and doesn’t purchase his tutoring package, how will it work?
As for why only targeting Xiao Kong for extractions and not squeezing other potential recipients of the preparatory class recommendation letters?
Simply put, he’s too familiar with the others, making it hard to act.
Excluding the two recommendation slots for himself and Xiao Kong, Chen Nuoyi, Chu Lanxi, and Wu Ziying are almost set for the other three recommendation slots.
How could Su Yuan act against the three of them?
Chen Nuoyi and Chu Lanxi are veterans of the Primordial Sect, his brothers in arms.
And Wu Ziying has long been incorporated by him, destined to at least serve as Hall Master of the Primordial Sect’s Eight Demons Hall in the future.
Plus, she’s already paid her tuition by selling her own "goods". How could he squeeze tuition from Wu Ziying?
No choice, since these three can enjoy peace, someone has to carry the weight for them.
Of course, none of the other students in the Special Advancement Class would get off either.
If they can’t enter the preparatory class, do they not want to get into the top ten or the top hundred schools?
You just need to cut the weeds vigorously!
Under the proactive request of the Special Advancement Class students, Su Yuan not only blatantly occupied the classes originally meant for Xiao Kong, but also started charging tuition for each class.
After a hearty and intense tutoring session, the students of the Special Advancement Class forgot about Su Yuan’s absence, once again being overwhelmed by the horror of a managed-style tutoring.
It’s five in the afternoon, school is out.
The classmates dragged their tired bodies out.
Even Chen Nuoyi had to go to the police station. She got a call and learned her dad was locked up for causing trouble while drunk.
Only Su Yuan was left in the classroom, along with the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner that was always in his hand as a teaching pointer.
Zhu Qingqing, the Artifact Spirit who personally witnessed Su Yuan’s teaching process, was utterly shocked.
"Su Yuan, is this how you cultivate the righteous disciples of the Taihua Sect?"
Her Coinage Head emerged from the banner and sighed:
"These righteous disciples are so contaminated by your Demon Techniques that they might never return to the right path."
"They will miss your Demon Dao methods all the time, and even if they advance to what you guys call the upper sect university, they’ll probably beg to come back for tutoring every now and then."
"Su Yuan, is this what you want to see?"
In response to Zhu Qingqing’s question, Su Yuan said lightly:
"Isn’t it good to secretly develop these righteous geniuses into my followers?"
"Every student in the Special Advancement Class has the chance to enter a top hundred school. By the time they succeed in their studies, the Primordial Sect will have already grown."
"Then, it’s the perfect opportunity to recruit them all into my sect."
"In this way, they won’t even have to worry about job issues after graduating from college."
"Having a prosperous job for life, isn’t that good?"
Zhu Qingqing: "..."
You’re dropping the act, right, byd!
Before, you kept insisting you were a righteous person, but behind the scenes, you’ve already planned out a whole set of processes for developing a Demon Sect.
And are you sure these students from the Special Advancement Class will truly get this so-called prosperous treatment after joining your sect?
Aren’t they just going to be exploited to death by you, this demon!
Let’s just say... she didn’t choose the wrong person!
Indeed, Zhu Qingqing actually quite appreciates Su Yuan’s various measures.
Otherwise?
Could you expect the Sovereign of the Ancient Hundred Strong Demon Sect, who’s killed countless people, to sympathize with those little insects stuck on Su Yuan’s spider web?
If she had Su Yuan’s methods in the Ancient Era, she would have acted even more ruthlessly, and the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation would have been developed much earlier.
However, one question made Zhu Qingqing very curious.
"Su Yuan, from my observations, the era you’re in is indeed quite peaceful."
"How are you planning to develop your Demon Sect in such a peaceful environment?"
"I already have quite a few Demon Dao businesses, but to make the Primordial Sect reach the level of the Ancient Hundred Strong Demon Sect, I need to expand new businesses."
Su Yuan already had a plan in mind and said:
"I think we can develop new business using the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppets."
"First, use the Puppet Refining Technique to make perfect bodies that can move the audience and let the Cyber Brothers in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner learn second-play experiences and create personas."
"Then, let the Cyber Brothers control the puppet bodies to debut as beauty streamers, game streamers, singing and dancing streamers, etc."
"At the same time, I can entwine the Great Desire Silk Thread on these puppet bodies to harvest the audience’s desires and accumulate Spiritual Energy for cultivation."
This was a plan Su Yuan had been nurturing ever since he received the system task of becoming part of the "Hundred Strong Demon Sect."
The system’s standards for the Hundred Strong Demon Sect did not include the sect’s highest combat power standard.
This means that he doesn’t need to worry about the strength of his followers, just expanding influence as much as possible is enough.
In the modern Cultivation Society, no method can expand influence more effectively than corrupting audiences on the Spiritual Net.
"Oh?"
Zhu Qingqing’s eyes lit up:
"It seems the legacy of my Zhu Yan White Bone Observation will revive in the new era."
"But Su Yuan, where do you plan to get the materials for making Human Puppets?"
Su Yuan said confidently:
"Don’t rush, let me run a speedrun strategy first."
With that, Su Yuan’s mind moved, directly activating the Colorful Title "Speedrun Demon Cultivation"’s active effect "Speedrun."
An absorbing force gushed out from the Colorful Title, sucking in Su Yuan’s problem about selecting materials for the Human Puppet.
A second later, the system panel automatically opened before Su Yuan, offering a solution.
"What’s the method for speedrunning materials science?"
With a sense of anticipation, Su Yuan focused on the text on the system panel.
[Now immediately leave the Taihua Sect and head to the street outside.]
Hmm, to solve the materials science problem, you need to find someone on the street outside Taihua High School?
No wonder I never had this thought; it’s because an important NPC is yet to be unlocked.
[Find the most beautiful woman on the street, follow her, kill her, and refine her into a Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet.]
Su Yuan: "???"
Not a friend?
So your version of speedrun means what exactly?!
Just kill without considering anything?
Sure, it’s fast, but you’ll die just as quickly!
Su Yuan realized that the buggy system provided, "Speedrun Demon Cultivation," is a title fit for the Ancient Cultivation Era.
In the modern cultivation world, following a speedrun strategy would land you in the police station sewing clothes.
Su Yuan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Could it be that my carefully planned development of the Primordial Sect would end before it even begins?
No way! The great cause of my Primordial Sect cannot just fall!
A sinister light flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes (feigned)!
If the existing methods cannot solve the materials science issue, then I’ll have to cheat!
