Chapter 78: They Can Think of a Method to Earn Any Kind of Wicked Money
Song Jiulai truly gained a lot of experience from this trip.
She watched the Starflame Thunder Beast leave, swallowed and said to the System.
“Walking all this way, I want everything I see.”
The System comforted her, “When the Sect grows bigger and stronger, you’ll have everything.”
Song Jiulai: “When is ‘later’?”
System: “Perhaps in about four, five, six, seven, or eight thousand years—maybe! As a person, you must have confidence. As long as you live long enough, don’t even mention this; players might even be able to create a star destroyer.”
Song Jiulai: “…”
System: “Stop thinking about it. Looking at these things for too long will only make you sad. Go back to the inn and check how many Spirit Stones you have left.”
“…”
This System is sometimes cruelly unreasonable.
Cultivators also have places to stay.
The poorer ones live in the Mortal areas, which is where Song Jiulai was staying.
Of course, Su Huanli and Shui Ping were accompanying her.
Even for the Flying Sparrow Sect, not every disciple has many Spirit Stones on them.
When Song Jiulai returned to the inn, Su Huanli and Shui Ping had not yet returned.
Song Jiulai stayed in her room and looked at the few Books she had just bought.
This one was said to be the autobiography of a certain City Lord, but it was likely copied using some kind of Technology.
Song Jiulai opened the first page.
【I thought my life would be like the countless ordinary people on this Continent, plain and unremarkable, until I met him…】
After reading it, Song Jiulai was greatly shocked.
“This is the Yunzhou Continent, how can this story be so melodramatic, just like the novels I read on Blue Star?”
This autobiography told the story of a Mortal woman named Yuexi who met Lu Zhaolan, a Mahayana Stage cultivator who came to the mortal world for training.
As it turned out, that Mahayana Stage cultivator also fell for her.
It was initially thought to be a brief romance, but who knew Yuexi became pregnant.
Then she was brought back to this cultivator’s Sect.
Because she was a mere Mortal with no Spiritual Root, Yuexi would die and even age.
Lu Zhaolan forcibly used a Secret Technique to extend Yuexi’s lifespan, and even let her manage a Sect City, becoming the first Mortal City Lord on the Yunzhou Continent.
But the ending was extremely wicked.
Lu Zhaolan was not a scumbag, nor did a third party appear.
He was a beast.
The reason he kept the child Yuexi was carrying was because he saw a Prophecy.
Later, after the child was born, Lu Zhaolan threw the child into a forbidden area outside the Yunzhou Continent for a sacrifice, in order to obtain the secret of Ascension.
In Yuexi’s ending, she wrote that she hated him deeply, wishing she could devour his flesh.
Even so, Lu Zhaolan shamelessly said that the child could have had more.
Later, it was likely that the sacrificial method was too evil, and an accident occurred in Lu Zhaolan’s Sect, causing it to fall apart. Lu Zhaolan disappeared, and Yuexi’s autobiography ended there. Yuexi’s current fate is unknown.
But she didn’t mention which Sect Lu Zhaolan belonged to.
This caused a discrepancy with the Information Song Jiulai had.
“Could this be made up?”
Song Jiulai was troubled, as she had bought this from a roadside stall. What was the difference between this and trashy literature?
Perhaps it was just a story casually made up by a Mortal.
But she was a person with a spirit of research. When Su Huanli and the others returned, Song Jiulai casually asked, “Senior Sister, do you know City Lord Yuexi?”
Su Huanli looked at her with some surprise, “Where did you hear about her?”
Song Jiulai’s heart skipped a beat, “What’s wrong, is she strange?”
“Not exactly, it’s just that we rarely mention that name now.” Su Huanli still subconsciously lowered her voice, “She has another name now, the Moon Demon Emperor, the ruler of Demonic Cultivators. She hates the name Yuexi, so try not to say it in Liuxian City or outside.”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Holy crap, she’s that awesome?
Wasn’t she a Mortal originally?
Did this sister’s status jump too ridiculously?
Song Jiulai was greatly shocked, “Was she… originally a Mortal?”
Su Huanli nodded. Information that they knew about her was definitely not a secret. “She massacred a Sect City, and then, for some reason, entered the territory of Demonic Cultivators and became the Moon Demon Emperor.”
On the Yunzhou Continent, Demonic Cultivators and Demonic Beasts are two different concepts.
Demonic Cultivators carry the bloodline of Sacred Beasts, but from birth, they can transform into human form and embark on the path of Cultivation like normal cultivators, and can also transform into Sacred Beasts.
However, some Spirit Beasts and Demonic Beasts cannot transform into human form.
Because they carry the bloodline of Sacred Beasts, they strongly disapprove of Beast Taming on the Yunzhou Continent, so the relationship between Demonic Cultivators and human cultivators is not good.
Demonic Cultivators are entrenched at the border of the Yunzhou Continent, on the edge of those legendary lands, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to see them in a lifetime.
Moreover, the bloodline of ordinary Demonic Cultivators is often impure. Some who escape their control easily go berserk and attack human cultivators.
Song Jiulai instinctively hissed, “From Mortal to Moon Demon Emperor…”
“It’s incredible, so no one knows how she did it, but everyone knows this story has been circulating for thousands of years.”
“Ah?” Song Jiulai was even more surprised, “So long.”
Su Huanli nodded, “Demonic Cultivators have lifespans of thousands of years. The fact that there haven’t been any major disturbances means she is still ruling internally.”
“Also,” Su Huanli leaned closer to Song Jiulai’s ear, “the Sect City she massacred was the predecessor of the Xuecang Sect, but the Xuecang Sect at that time was not as powerful as it is now. You just need to know this Information; you can’t discuss it casually with others.”
She saw that Song Jiulai knew nothing, so she told her everything, so she would have some understanding.
Song Jiulai understood this and naturally wouldn’t go out and spread rumors.
It’s just that this seems to contradict what was said in the biography.
The biography of City Lord Yuexi said that the Sect had problems because of Lu Zhaolan, but now it’s said that Yuexi killed them?
Shifting blame?
Song Jiulai could only put the Books back into her Mustard Seed Bag, considering it just a little story from the Yunzhou Continent.
These matters were too far from her.
And she couldn’t be idle during her visit to Liuxian City.
Because Players couldn’t come for now, she manually drew a Map of the surrounding area of Liuxian City and Information on its customs and culture.
Actually, she originally wanted to use the System’s function to take pictures, but that would be too obvious and would let the Players realize that she, their Sect Master, might also be a Modern Person.
For now, it’s better to use some more primitive methods.
Besides, this Map wasn’t for her to look at.
【Ding, new items added to the Sect Store】
When the Players opened it, they found something new.
【Liuxian City Map Collection and Detailed Building Distribution Information】
【Redemption Price: 10 Points】
The Liuxian City Players knew that wasn’t just the largest city next door?
They heard from the Senior Disciple Brother that a grand Immortal Worship Ceremony was being held there now, and people from the Flying Sparrow Sect had all gone.
However—
Do you really have to earn these 10 Points!
Besides, it’s not like they can’t go to Liuxian City in the future. Which Sucker would buy this Map now?
Han Tian, the Sucker, redeemed a copy of the Liuxian City Map.
As he held the Map in his hand, Han Tian silently cursed in his heart.
Dog Planner.
They could think of any wicked way to make money.
