Chapter 964: Chapter 51 Preparation [2 in 1]_2

"I understand," Chu Liang nodded. "I’m sincerely hiring Miss Yu to be the person in charge of our song and dance programs. I’ll leave the communication to you on this matter."

"Ah?" Yu Xiang’er, suddenly entrusted with a significant responsibility, blinked blankly.

"This gentleman will be in charge of our language programs," Chu Liang continued, patting Henchman A on the back, "and I will contact the Heavenly Gang Sect brothers for the action programs."

The action programs didn’t need too many, when the time came just letting a hundred or so robust men from the Gang Sect, bare-chested, show off their muscles, would create a spectacular scene.

As for the specific content of the programs, Chu Liang would still keep a strict watch.

Lin Bei was sent to contact various immortal sects for the event. A gala wasn’t just about the performers; there had to be stagehands if there was going to be a play. It was either go big or go home—an event that would shake the Immortal Cultivation World to its core.

Shang Ziliang was dispatched to reach out to the shops at Red Cotton Peak. This gala would surely have an unprecedented level of exposure. For those shops wanting title sponsorship, endorsements, or promotion, it was time to submit bids and compete for the opportunity.

Henchman B... This guy hasn’t been around Shu Mountain lately, having, I heard, run off to Shenxu to forage for wild vegetables a few days ago. He was so keen on some wild greens that he risked his life to dig them up.

But luckily, even if he were at Shu Mountain, he wouldn’t be of much use, so his absence isn’t too regrettable.

...

Although the idea for the gala was a spontaneous one, once set in motion, it would no longer be a performance just for my master alone.

The first thing that came to Chu Liang’s mind was the Demonic Clan.

Since Cai Yi’s death, relations between the Far West... now the Demons of the Eastern Sea and Shu Mountain had become ambiguous. On one hand, with the Demon God still in Shu Mountain, they didn’t dare make any sudden moves; but on the other hand, they had planned for Cai Yi to keep an eye on the Demon God, and just a few days later, the Nine-tailed Fox was gone. Who wouldn’t be suspicious?

Are you Humans trying to break the treaty?

Despite Shu Mountain’s repeated explanations that Cai Yi was killed because she planned to deceive and murder Chu Liang, there was no one to prove it, and it was natural for the Eastern Sea Demonic Clan to have doubts.

However, Cai Yi’s relationship with the other Demon Kings wasn’t too good either. Since she started bossing the Grand Priest around after saving the Demon God, the other Demon Kings resented her even more but had to swallow their pride and keep silent.

Now that she was dead, it didn’t stir up much hatred. It only made the relationship between the two sides even more delicate.

Having such a gala at this time, Chu Liang wanted the Demonic Clan to see it too, preferably having a few Eastern Sea Demons perform on stage to showcase the solidarity between the Humans and the Demons.

But asking the Eastern Sea Demons to come to Shu Mountain to watch would probably intimidate them, fearing that Shu Mountain had some grand scheme in mind to eradicate the Demonic Clan completely.

But Chu Liang had other plans.

He went to Misty Mountain Immortal again to borrow, or rather rent, the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams.

With the power of the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, the images here could be projected to the Eastern Sea. By casting another Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams replica, all the images and scenes here could be displayed, allowing the Eastern Sea Demons to see the performances from thousands of miles away.

Actually, if it were just a matter of transmitting images between two places, there would be no need for the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams; a slightly more advanced magic artifact could possibly do it. However, Chu Liang had grand ambitions this time; he wanted to broadcast the Shu Mountain gala simultaneously in thirty-six major cities of the Yu Dynasty!

This would require thirty-six high-grade replicas of the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams to receive the images cast by the original. Along with the cost of renting the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, it was enough to make a significant dent in his finances.

But it didn’t matter.

This would also increase the exposure of the gala by dozens or hundreds of times, and subsequently, the price for sponsorships would surge dramatically as well. The Spirit Stone Coins in Chu Liang’s pocket would only increase, never decrease.

The reason he had this idea was that Red Cotton Peak has already established a powerful loyalty among the top-flow Immortal Sects of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands as well as other large immortal sects. When these sect disciples wanted to shop or have fun, they would think of Red Cotton Peak first.

Yet for the much larger number of lower-ranking cultivators and non-mainstream cultivator groups, they might not travel great distances to play, considering the Four Seas and Nine Continents are quite vast for them. Moreover, Red Cotton Peak’s door-to-door delivery service was too expensive for them.

Among this vast and untapped market, Red Cotton Peak only held a portion in the Southern Region. In contrast, Yu Capital City’s Immortal District, with the assistance of Imperial Court’s resources, had penetrated most of the market in the three other regions.

In this respect, Red Cotton Peak was falling behind.

Chu Liang also devised a new strategy for this.

The broadcasting in these thirty-six cities was the first step in expanding his renown. Creating an atmosphere where Red Cotton Peak’s shopping brand was regarded as a big-name label, and then stationing big-name shops in these cities, would attract the surrounding non-mainstream cultivators.

By connecting dots into lines, and lines into areas, the goal was to gradually break into the entire down-market.

Standing on the righteous ground of fostering great solidarity between Humans and Demons, the Yu Dynasty would certainly agree to Chu Liang’s actions. As for the minor personal gains involved, they might not be as consequential.

The gala, initially prepared to distract my master with the sight of beautiful women, was imbued with considerable value by Chu Liang overnight.

...

"Do you understand the concept of ’comedy shtick’?" Chu Liang clapped his hands. "Comedy shtick. As long as you can make everyone laugh, don’t worry about what can or cannot be said. What’s more important than having a good time? I’ve got your backs, so relax!"
