Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

I must say,

Liu Zide's emotional contagion is very strong.

"..."

Chen Qiu and Fat Long, standing in place, slowly opened their mouths in astonishment, a flash of shock crossing their eyes. They had already begun to imagine the earth-shattering changes that would occur throughout Da Xia Country if Liu Zide's plan were to succeed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Damn it...

This could be considered a complete transformation of a world.

In the past, it was said that if one cannot change the world, then one must adapt to it. Whereas Liu Zide's philosophy seemed to be if you can't change the world, then forcibly make a miracle, just damn change it!

Chen Qiu pondered Liu Zide's train of thought.

I must say, it seems like it really could work, and there was already a successful case precedent. He found the name of the Patriarch of the Yuncheng Wang Family that Liu Zide mentioned on the "Fame Ranking," ranked 936th.

-

'Rank 936': Wang Tiedan, fame value 9203.

-

Higher than his own rank.

He was only ranked 982, dozens of ranks below him.

It turns out that the recognition he gained from bravely slaughtering nearly ten thousand Demon Clan cultivators was not as much as one Nine Ox Festival.

And the name 'Wang Tiedan' was the first on the entire "Fame Ranking" that was neither a murderous Evil Cultivation, nor a famed young generation Disciple, nor a big shot in any industry, nor any famed courtesan or the like.

It can be said that Wang Tiedan is the only one who made it to the ranking by being "unconventional."

And Liu Zide's plan was to mass-produce three hundred Wang Tiedans, essentially a case of bad money driving out good.

"..."

Chen Qiu stood silently, his expression complex; after pondering for a long time, he concluded that the plan was basically feasible, especially given that Liu Zide had invested all his talent points in this aspect; nobody else could manage it as effectively as Liu Zide himself.

Of course, mass-producing three hundred Wang Tiedans was definitely an exaggeration.

But mass-producing seventy or eighty felt entirely possible.

The most significant issue here is that... the benefits are too substantial, and the greed is somewhat unseemly. It involves vulgarity and lowliness, which could easily attract the disdain and greed of some morally fastidious old demons.

In other words,

the risks are as great as the benefits.

But as Liu Zide said, if only one is fast enough to eat a full wave before anyone else can react, then even if you leave the stage afterward, you've had your fill.

"Huff."

Chen Qiu took a long breath and finally decided internally. He patted Liu Zide's shoulder and said with a sure expression, "Tell me your specific plan for cooperation; I'm quite intrigued."

Liu Zide nodded, his expression serious as he held up three fingers.

"Three points."

"First, we need a large amount of Spirit Stones in the initial stage because everything must be done quickly. Traveling will require the use of Flying Boats, recruiting a large number of talents must be widely advertised with a heavy investment of Spirit Stones, and we will also need many hands on deck to negotiate with the local tyrants in all the cities as quickly as possible."

"This will definitely result in expenses being several times higher due to the need for 'speed.'

"In simple terms, it's about using the most Spirit Stones in the shortest time to carve out a place in the world."

"We will need roughly fifteen thousand Spirit Stones in capital."

"..."

Chen Qiu remained silent, not saying a word. He had a total of eighteen thousand spirit stones in his small world, including those from the storage bags. This was all his possessions. With Liu Zide's single request, he was asking for all the spirit stones Chen Qiu had earned recently.

Although there were still many storage rings with restrictions that hadn't been cracked open, it was uncertain how many spirit stones were contained within them.

"Have you lost your mind?"

Fat Long looked at Liu Zide with a speechless expression, "Do you have any idea what fifteen thousand spirit stones represent? Even if I give you that many spirit stones, would you dare to accept them? Wouldn't your hand tremble just holding them?"

"There's no other way..." Liu Zide shook his head helplessly, "I know it sounds exaggerated, I'm well aware of what fifteen thousand spirit stones mean."

"Our Wang Family's annual profit used to be just a few hundred spirit stones. Even a set of large Sound Transmission Talismans purchased by the sect for their disciples wouldn't cost more than a thousand spirit stones."

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones are equivalent to the annual profit of more than fifty Wang Families combined."

"But... I've calculated carefully, to cover the entire 'Xuzhou' in the shortest time, and to find a family that specializes in making Memory Stones, placing large orders and so on, indeed, approximately that number is needed."

If it were an ordinary person, he would not have said it, since an ordinary person would not have so many spirit stones, but he saw Chen Qiu and his companions take away all the storage bags and storage rings from the bodies of the Demon Clan cultivators while in Fufeng City.

The harvest should have been considerable.

Maybe it would be enough to support his plan.

The initial investment of spirit stones required for his plan was too vast; a typical sect or even a family might not be able to support it, and the Yuncheng Wang Family he was currently working for was even less likely to afford it.

He had almost given up on the plan, but then he encountered Chen Qiu and his group here. Perhaps it was also Heaven's way of encouraging him to be bold and go for it.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qiu finally spoke softly, "Didn't you say that the Nine Ox Festival you organized last time earned several thousand spirit stones? Where are those spirit stones? Are you discussing this with me in the capacity of an offering from the Wang Family, or are you speaking as Liu Zide?"

"As Liu Zide."

Liu Zide said sternly, "Even though the old master is a good person, he cares a bit too much about face... After setting up in two cities, no matter how I persuaded him, the old master resolutely gave up."

"He said a Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill was not worth the loss of his face."

"The old master has already traveled overnight back to 'Yun City,' saying I should come back when I've thought it through. I wanted to follow the old master back to Yun City, but I really couldn't bear to miss out on such a big business opportunity, so I left the inn this morning intending to get some food, but then I was discovered by the 'Fierce Tiger Gang.' They think it's unethical for me to have given a copy of the Memory Stone to several forces."

"Then I ran into you guys."

"State your second condition."

"I will take some of the spirit stones from the fifteen thousand and go to 'Zhao's Escort Agency' to hire a few escort masters who can protect my personal safety. This needs to be negotiated in advance."

"And the third?"

"I need one-tenth of all profits."

Perhaps worried Chen Qiu and others would refuse, Liu Zide spoke with less confidence but forced himself to say, "Trust me, I'm worth the price. Apart from me, you won't find a better candidate."

"And I will offer you a value-added service."

"For example, Brother Qiu, although your appearance may not be particularly stunning, you have a rather unique aura, and when compared to other cultivators of the same rank, you are undoubtedly invincible."

"I can package you up so that Brother Qiu's fame soars in a short time."

"The method is very simple."

"Shower every storyteller in all the big cities with spirit stones, then spend heavily to get a few high-ranking beauties on the Fame Ranking to express their affection for Brother Qiu, and then Brother Qiu rejects them."

"Then find a few past-their-prime seniors to publicly lament that they were not as good as Chen Qiu in their youth."

"Finally, concoct some stories, and combine that with other tactics. After one set is launched, Brother Qiu, your fame will skyrocket."

"If Brother Qiu has any unique trump cards as well..."

"That would be a finishing move!"

"Um... how about half of one-tenth? At least let me take something back, so I can have some face when I return to Yun City. Otherwise, I'll feel utterly disgraced."
