Wait, where's his cat?

————

Yu Tong is not a real kitten, so he doesn't need to take himself for a walk.

He left the study, just wanting to walk around the Yun family's old house to see if there were any people from the Wen and Su families hiding among the servants and guards.

After all, the old couple of the Yun family have been in power for many years, and even several elders of the clan have been murdered. There is no reason not to place spies at home.

Yun Mingchen cleaned up the house several times after becoming the head of the family, but Yu Tong was worried that some people were hiding too deeply and Brother Chen hadn't discovered them.

Now it's his turn to appear. Who would be wary of a three or four month old kitten?

There were not many servants on night duty in the old house. Yu Tong strolled past them and then took a stroll in the staff dormitory.

Those people were very polite to the master's pet, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

Yu Tong was jogging while thinking.

Why do the three major families want to make business out of the technology of soul replacement?

Doing this kind of thing involves huge risks. If any buyer leaks the secret, both the Wen and Su families will be hunted down by the imperial royal family.

By then, not only will the business fail, but the fact that we are training an army of monsters will also be exposed.

Yu Tong felt that although the three major families had declined, they should not be so poor.

They must have other motives for taking the risk of doing this kind of business.

Thinking of this, Yu Tong stopped abruptly.

The sponsors are either rich or noble, most of them are bigwigs in the political and business circles of the empire, and the top one among them is even a prince.

Could it be that the transactions between them and the three major families were not just simple monetary transactions, but that they were also involved in a rebellion plan?

wrong.

Judging from the fake Su Feng’s previous performance in the fog incident, he never thought that he could be resurrected, otherwise he would not have run for his life so seriously at that time.

Moreover, he was so afraid of monsters, but after being attacked, he still became the financial sponsor of the Wen and Su families.

This shows that he had no idea that he could be resurrected from the dead, that his corpse would turn into a monster, and that the monsters were created by the three major families.

Yu Tong's thoughts suddenly became clear.

He shuddered and whimpered with excitement.

The system, which was currently replacing a new tattoo, noticed its host's happiness and poked its head out curiously, asking, "Look at your cocked tail! Oh my! Those little paws are treading on the empty space again. What are you thinking about, little Yuyu?"

Yu Tong purred, sharing his joy with it, "Myna, I've figured out the three families' rebellion plans. Now all I have to do is figure out their specific method of replacing souls. Then, by prescribing the right remedy, I can thwart their plans."

The system didn't feel any joy at all; it just felt a headache. It told Yu Tong to skip the messy reasoning process and just tell it the result directly.

It’s not that it lacks patience, it’s mainly because it can’t understand what it hears.

Yu Tong talked a lot with it and simplified it based on his own understanding.

This world is not suitable for cultivating immortals. Many people are born as ordinary people. Only families with ancestors who have cultivated immortals can give birth to cultivators.

This is also why the Empire's No. 1 Cultivation Academy emphasizes bloodline inheritance and is so xenophobic.

Although the world of cultivating immortals is getting worse day by day, there are still benefits to practicing Taoism.

For example, the old couple of the Yun family, who were in their seventies but looked like they were in their twenties. If they hadn't died unexpectedly, they could have lived for at least a few hundred years.

Truly achieve eternal youth and live for hundreds of years.

For example, Yun Mingchen could attract objects into his hands with a thought, and move heavy objects with a flick of his hand.

Yu Tong felt that ordinary people should envy cultivators.

Who in this world doesn't want to be forever young and beautiful, to be the equivalent of a moving company? No longer needing a car to go out, a flying sword can fly across the country.

The hilltop near the Yun family's old house has become a famous tourist attraction thanks to the Yun family's fame.

When Yu Tong followed Yun Mingchen back to the Yun family's old house for the first time, the tourists were crowded on the mountain not far from the Yun family, queuing up to watch Yun Mingchen fly over their heads on his sword.

For ordinary people without talent, cultivating immortality is an unattainable but real dream.

The three major families relied on new technologies to break the bloodline monopoly in the world of cultivation, transforming cultivation from a talent-based one to a gold-based one.

As long as one is willing to spend money, everyone can become an immortal.

The Empire's First Cultivation Academy was jointly established by three major families. All the students here are cultivators, and their information is all in the hands of the Yunwen Su family.

The sponsor who wants to cultivate immortality but has no talent pays the money, and they give the students' information to the sponsor to choose.

After the sponsor chooses a good body, they use their convenient identities to lure the students out, pack them up and take them away to replace their souls.

The whole process takes less than a day and no one will be suspicious.

Every year, parents of students pay tuition to the school. The three major families take the parents' money and sell their children.

They took the money from the sponsor and even tampered with the body they had prepared for the sponsor. Every time the sponsor was killed, the three major families would add a new monster.

The system smacked its lips. The three major families were so immoral that it would be a waste of their talents if they didn't become profiteers.

Relying on the method of making money from both sides and cheating both sides, the Yunwen Su family cooperated with the dignitaries of the empire.

While rapidly accumulating wealth, they also stuffed the souls of many political and business leaders into their tampered bodies.

On the other hand, the souls of the younger generation in the world of cultivation were trapped in dreams by them, and their bodies were sold by them.

Those small cultivation families were afraid of the consequences and could only obey their orders obediently.

By following this set of procedures, the empire not only controlled those who had a say in the empire, but also controlled the large and small families in the world of cultivation.

What an expert.

After figuring out the key, Yu Tong stopped exploring the old house and started running back.

The system was still sighing to him: [These old men and women are so greedy. They won't let any of the imperial cultivation world go unpunished. I don't know how they managed to deceive those old hands.]
