Chapter 775: Chapter 23 Men’s and Women’s Cultivation Rush Forward 【Single Update】_1

The Yu Dynasty had pardoned the inhabitants of Mang Mountain City.

This news struck like a thunderbolt, causing shock across the Four Seas and Nine Continents.

Although in the recent days, those elusive and quickformed felons had become a nightmare for the citizens of the Yu Dynasty, many major cities had taken severe precautionary measures, some even paranoid to the point of being startled at the slightest noises, everyone still believed that this problem would soon be resolved.

After all, they were just a group of half-starved Half-Demons, their highest battle power just reaching the Seventh Realm. Even if they had caught the Taotie City off guard with a surprise attack, they lacked top-tier combat power, and would be crushed instantly if caught by the Regent Residence, this was the prestige built up by the imperial court over the years.

The power of justice might arrive late, but it will never be absent.

Nobody expected that, in the end, the matter would be resolved in such a way.

To pardon...

The Yu Dynasty had almost no precedent in pardoning ever in hundreds of years, could it be possible that the imperial court really has no other choice but to take this measure against the perpetrators?

The next day, everyone understood that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Becaue the latest issue of Seven Star Mansion Report came out, which contains detailed coverage of this event.

With the rise of the "Xian You Circle", the Seven Star Mansion Report has also begun corresponding transformation. The narrative became more in-depth, even more highlighting the advantage it had over fragmented information dissemination.

In the lead article of Strategy of Nine States, without a doubt, was the Southern Sea Ruins battle this time.

The Human Clan and the Sea Clan teamed up to assassinate the Sea Demon who initiated the chaos in the Southern Sea, and showed a terrible conspiracy with Mars, the Demonic Clan, and the Demon Sect. However, the wise and brave heroes of the Righteous Path found out about it in advance and used the opportunity to kill the Navy and Immortal Yuan Lu, protecting the peace of the Southern Sea.

This not only demonstrated the indisputable principle of evil not triumphing over righteousness, but also highlighted the power of unity between humans and Demonic Clans. Not all Demonic Clans are extremely evil, and some, like the Sea Demons, can live in harmony with the Human Clan.

The profound narrative of the Tianshu Pavilion is clearly task-oriented this time, not focusing on the battle itself, but highlighting the friendship between the Human Clan and Sea Demon.

It was only at the end of the article that they lauded the Shu Mountain’s young hero who ultimately killed the Navy Sea Demon, Chu Liang.

The former champion of the Immortal Door has returned to the world in an even more dazzling manner!

Once again, his name echoed throughout the world.

In addition to him, the participants in this battle also included the Regent Leader, Deputy Mountain Chief Shentu, Sea Demon Ancestor Wu Chao and Venerable Baize, Daoist Yan, Chief of various peaks Wang Xuan Ling, young standout Xu Ziyang, Head of the Four Tyrants Lin Bei, and other elite members of Shu Mountain.

Chu Liang, looking at the overflowing praise in the Tianshu Pavilion for himself, shook his head and smiled wryly, even if the relationship was good, there was no need to exaggerate this much, was there?

Of course, it was also obvious who had a bad relationship.

In a short while, an angry roar came from his master’s attic, "Zhou Yijian!"

As soon as the sound came over, a flash of firelight raced towards the southwest.

...

Chu Liang curled his lips and continued reading the issue of the mansion report.

What came next, if it weren’t for the battle of Ruins, would have been absolutely the headline, was the Ten Earth Sects grand selection.

In fact, the open selection had begun a while ago, both Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the imperial court had the right to nominate, any sect that considered itself up to the task could nominate itself - of course, whether or not the self-nominated could be selected depended on their own confidence.

The final shortlist included: Town Star Island nominated by Penglai Upper Sect, Ice Soul Sword Sect nominated by Lunar Sect, Jupiter Dao nominated by Heavenly King Sect, War Mausoleum Mountain nominated by Heavenly Gang Sect, Xuan Tian Temple nominated by Yunque Temple, Talisman Sect nominated by Shu Mountain Sect, Yu Mountain Academy nominated by Ascending Dragon Academy, and Mang Mountain City nominated by the imperial court.

The Mang Mountain disciples were not only pardoned but also allowed to establish their own Immortal Sect. The imperial court was even willing to nominate them for the Ten Earth realignment?

People who saw this would be somewhat puzzled.

The Seven Star Mansion Report then went into an in-depth explanation of these sects. After all, for the people in the Immortal Cultivation World, these were mostly first-class immortal sects. But for most of the common people, they did not understand this.

Ranked first was Mang Mountain City.

This article seemed to be written by someone from the Regent Residence, all from the perspective of the imperial court. The article explained why the Mang Mountain City was pardoned.

These half-demon blooded individuals have been victims of injustice for many years, it is indeed a failure of the imperial court. This time, due to natural calamities and famine, they had rebellious intentions, albeit a crime deserving death. But now the disciples of the Mang Mountain sincerely regret their actions and wish to build a city at the border, to permanently guard the Northland for the imperial court. The Emperor is merciful, willing to give the disciples of Mang Mountain a chance to start over.

Considering the front-page report on the Sea Demons of the Southern Sea Ruins, giving the inhabitants of Mang Mountain a home, this would seem to be justified.

But those who are well-informed could clearly see that it is just a matter of power. Cultivators who are slightly aware of the inside story even heard that the Mang Mountain City might have a deep connection with the Venerable Wanfa behind the scenes.

If the old man steps in, then of course, nothing is impossible.

Once readers understood the inside story of Mang Mountain City’s offer of amnesty, majority of them looked back and asked the same question?

"Where did this Talisman Sect come from?"

You said we’ve heard of Mang Mountain City before, even though we haven’t, we know it must have been built by disciples of Mang Mountain. But this Talisman Sect... is completely unfamiliar.

There might be some well-informed citizens in the Southern Region who know of this sect. However, because of that, they found it even more incredible. How did the Talisman Sect from that big mountain suddenly reach such a high-level stage?

Looking again at the article introducing Talisman Sect, the style suddenly changes.

This article is all about one thing — the Talisman Sect has recently successfully created a legendary treasure called the Talisman Heavenly Plate — you don’t have to worry about which legend it’s from, the point is it’s from a legend. The talismans they produced boast good quality and low prices, assured product assurance, which can definitely be the first choice for your talisman purchasing needs.

...

"Master Chu, you’re amazing." Huan Leisheng, holding a copy of the Seven Star Mansion Report, marveled as he found Chu Liang, "How did you get Tianshu Pavilion to promote us?"

Chu Liang shrugged, "By paying them money."

He’s all too familiar with this, starting from scratch, he’s always been accompanied by Tianshu Pavilion’s publicity, naturally could be credited to his generous payment of Spirit Stone Coins.

"But..." Huan Leisheng exclaimed, "Tianshu Pavilion is a part of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect after all, would they...?"

"Because we gave them too much money." Henchman A chimed in with a grin by the side.

Chu Liang remained as light as air, he said: "Mr. Huan, you don’t need to worry about these things, just let me handle it, you just need to focus on speeding up the production of your talismans."

"Yes!" Huan Leisheng nodded firmly, "After the success of the Talisman Heavenly Plate, the first batch of Five Elements Talismans has been produced, and it was very successful. But I just don’t know where to sell these talismans..."

"We have our own shop at Red Cotton Peak, there’s no concern about finding sales channels." Chu Liang tapped his forehead, "Instead, we need to think about how to persuade them to buy our talismans."

Just as they discussed before, the talisman market is very saturated. Everyone has their own chosen talisman masters, and they won’t switch that easily. After all, they would feel more comfortable with the ones they are used to using, even if they know the quality is good.

"You said...good and cheap?" Huan Leisheng wondered, "Our production cost is so low, can’t we just lower the price?"

"It still won’t work." Chu Liang shook his head, "If you drastically lower the price as soon as it hits the market, they would easily assume that the quality has lower."

"Then what should we do?" Huan Leisheng asked directly.

He found that since he began mingling with Chu Liang, he has become addicted to this feeling of not having to think for himself. Now, he is accustomed to giving up thinking, and just waiting for Chu Liang’s answers.

As expected, Chu Liang already had an idea, and he spoke calmly: "We can make all the other talismans on the market raise their prices, then we sell ours at the original price. This way, it would be subtle. When the market prices return to normal, they are already used to buying our talismans, and by then, lowering our price is not a problem."

Huan Leisheng then asked, "Can we control the prices in the market?"

"By raising demand." Chu Liang said.

As mentioned before, the talisman market is very saturated. This is true for both buyers and sellers. Once there’s a sharp increase in purchase demand, sellers will naturally raise their prices.

"How to raise the demand for talismans..." Huan Leisheng thought along with him.

"I know." Henchman A interrupted, "If you want to increase the use of talismans, just stir up a war somewhere!"

Chu Liang gave him a thumbs up and complimented, "Be a man!"

Alright then.

We have here a ready-made warlord.

Pausing for a moment, he said: "In a few days, we’ll pick an auspicious day and hold a shopping festival. We at Red Cotton Peak will return the favor to all our customers and organize a large-scale activity. As long as you spend up to a certain amount at Red Cotton Peak, you’ll be able to participate."

"The activity is to clear levels using swordsmanship on Cloud Road, where there will be numerous spiritual energy barriers obstructing the way. You must promptly use corresponding talismans to clear the level. The more levels you clear, the richer the rewards you receive, but you have to bring your own talismans."

"I’ve also thought of a name for the activity." Chu Liang grinned, "It will be called Forward, Male and Female Cultivators!"

"But this way, we need to give out a lot of valuable rewards?" Henchman A hesitated, "Won’t we run at a loss?"

"It’s for temporarily stimulating the demand for talismans, even if we suffer losses initially, it’s okay, we’ll make money eventually." Chu Liang explained, "Besides, I don’t think it will, because don’t forget..."

"Not every participant will win a prize, but every participant will spend money."
