Synopsis:
Good news: I transmigrated and became the second-generation immortal of a top cultivation sect.
Bad news: This sect is the Joyous Union Sect.
Yes, it's that Joyous U...
140 Chapter 140
At this moment, in the live broadcast room, a monk in a white robe walked up behind Master Yan Yang with his alchemy furnace. His expression seemed calm, but there was a subtle hint of uneasiness in it, just like a student whose homework was about to be checked by the teacher.
Ning Shu then began to liven up the atmosphere, "Alright, this disciple is the alchemist responsible for refining the Great Rejuvenation Pill! Come on, tell our viewers in the livestream, how long have you been refining this pill?"
The disciple was clearly not used to speaking in front of the camera, and answered haltingly, "When I was in the Nine Yang Sect, I was the main refiner of this type of elixir. This, this furnace has been in the making for forty-nine days..."
"That's really a very long time! What's the difference between the elixirs of our Qiancuitang and those of the alchemists outside in terms of refining technology?" Ning Shu invited the alchemist to sit down while interviewing him.
"I think it's mainly the temperature of the fire..." The disciple nervously pointed at the blazing flames beneath the alchemy furnace and explained, "I don't use ordinary fire to refine the elixir. I use the Six Ding Divine Fire, which is specially designed for alchemy. It can further remove impurities..."
The camera then moved closer to the flames, and the clear, dancing flames seemed so transparent that one could see the scenery on the opposite side.
"Okay, since we have worked so hard for so long, do you have confidence in starting the furnace this time?" Ning Shu asked finally.
Thinking of the outside world's slander against the Nine Yang Sect, the alchemist suddenly felt a surge of blood in his chest: "Have confidence! We in the Nine Yang Sect only produce the most perfect elixirs! We will destroy any that are imperfect on the spot!"
"Alright!" Ning Shu's spirits also soared. After politely asking the alchemist to leave, she placed the furnace, emitting a celestial aura, in the center of the camera. Then, she looked at Master Yan Yang and said, "Elder, I'll leave the job of starting the furnace to you! Will this furnace of alchemy succeed or fail? Let's wait and see!"
So everyone's eyes were focused on Master Yan Yang and his furnace of pills. Seeing him extinguish the raging flames with a single spell, everyone's heart couldn't help but rise.
[Oh my god! I didn't make the elixir, why am I so nervous?]
[Me too, I feel like my breathing is stagnant!]
[Ahhhh! It’s opening! It’s opening!]
Under the anxious and expectant gazes of the crowd, Master Yan Yang stood up, raised his hands and gently opened the lid above the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, the entire live broadcast room was covered with white smoke, and a few faint rays of light could be seen. It was not until Master Yan Yang waved his whisk to summon a breeze to blow away the mist that everyone could see clearly that there were five round and plump pills safely placed in the alchemy furnace.
A steady stream of spiritual energy emerged from the elixir, appearing slightly refracted under the camera, as transparent and clear as in water.
[Is this... done?]
[Ahhhhh! It’s done! Quick! Hurry up and link up!]
[I want to buy it! Even if it costs thousands or tens of thousands of spirit stones, I will buy it!]
Ning Shu also looked at Master Yan Yang with surprise and joy: "Elder, this is a success!"
Who would have thought that Master Yan Yang would frown and stare at the pills for a moment, then pick up one and put it in front of the camera, explaining, "The top-grade Evil-Breaking Pill compresses the spiritual energy to the extreme, so when it's shaken under the light, it will produce a slight rainbow halo."
He then waved the pill in his hand twice in front of the camera, but no halo appeared. Master Yan Yang shook his head and sighed, "This pill has a slight leak of spiritual energy. It's a defective product."
[What defective product? You're saying that harshly, this is called a top-quality product!]
[That's right! As long as it works, I'm not showing it off. If there's no halo, then there's no halo!]
[Me, me, me! I don't mind, I don't mind! Sell it to me at 10% off, let's be friends!]
However, Master Yan Yang had no intention of selling the elixir. His expression remained as serious and earnest as ever. "No! You can't sell it! My Qiancuitang has always only produced the most perfect, top-grade elixirs! You absolutely cannot use such inferior elixirs as good ones and tarnish the reputation of our ancestors!"
Having said that, he clenched the pill in his hand and circulated his spiritual energy. Soon, a handful of golden flames ignited in his palm, and the pill was burned to ashes amid wailing.
[No! No! Don’t burn!]
[Leave the pills here!]
[Ahhhh! Don’t give it to me! I don’t mind, sob…]
[What a waste! What a waste!]
[I thought you were just pretending, but why are you really burning? Wow wow wow…]
There was a lot of crying and wailing in the barrage, and those who didn't know thought that it was their own spirit stones that were burned, but Master Yan Yang was unmoved. He picked up another Po'e Dan and observed it carefully under the light.
"This one... has cracks on the surface. This is caused by uneven firepower distribution. It's a defective product!"
[No no no no no…]
"What's wrong with this one? Why is it so soft? It's unacceptable!"
[No! No, no!]
[Aren't you here to sell goods and make money? I'll give you the spirit stones and let those pills live!]
True Man Yan Yang paid no attention to the cries and wails in the comments. He was like a living devil, nitpicking every pill and then pronounced their death sentence. Three of the five pills in a furnace were destroyed in the blink of an eye. He then observed the remaining two for a long time before nodding with satisfaction.
"These two are pretty good. They can finally be called top-grade. They can be sold."
Ning Shu then took out two boxes from a pile of bottles and jars on the side, put the two pills in each, and smiled at the audience in the live broadcast room:
"Okay! This is the top-grade Great Rejuvenating Pill produced by the Nine Yang Sect! It has a smooth surface, a hard texture, and even glows with a colorful halo under the light!
Of course, the most important thing is that it can help everyone break through the bottleneck of cultivation in a very short time! No need to bid at auction, no need to worry about quality, what you see is what you get! One piece is only 23999!
Three! Two! One! Up the link! "
The leader of the Qingyun Sect began to lose his temper when True Man Yan Yang burned the pill. He sat on the steps and watched the pill burn to ashes, slapping his thigh anxiously:
"Oh! Oh! Oh! How could it be burned? How could it be burned?"
"Stop! Even if this isn't top grade, it's still a top grade elixir! Stop it now!"
Now that he saw that Master Yan Yang still had two pills in his hand, he didn't have time to think too much. He just clicked on the link to purchase and pay. He didn't finally breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the words "pending shipment". When he exited the purchase page, the product was indeed marked with the words "Sold Out".
"Luckily I managed to grab it, otherwise I would have missed out on this top-grade elixir."
The disciples sitting nearby were also happy.
"Master actually managed to snatch it! How amazing!"
"Yes, yes! It's Qiancuitang's top-grade elixir! There are only two left in the furnace! Master's hand speed is so fast!"
"Father, can you help me get the concert tickets from now on?"
At this moment, behind the live broadcast, Zi Xiao, who had come to watch the excitement, frowned slightly: "Aren't there only two? How come they sold a hundred?"
The operations disciple in charge of linking stuck out his tongue and said, "Actually, the original inventory is only one hundred top-grade Evil-Breaking Pills, and the price is not much different from the transaction price at the auction.
This was all arranged by the Young Master, who said that with such an expensive item, people tend to weigh the pros and cons when buying it, but this way they'll be much more comfortable placing their orders."
"...Does the old man with the white beard have any objections?"
"You mean True Man Yan Yang? The Young Sect Master said this would clear the Nine Yang Sect's bad reputation, so he agreed."
Zixiao: ...
Tsk, if you have this kind of mind, you can catch any lover. Why do you have to use it for your career?
After this live broadcast of selling goods, Jiuyangmen’s transaction volume in just one night was actually more than that of a usual quarter.
This is certainly due to various reasons, including the popularity of the ghost song, the reputation of Qiancuitang, and Ning Shu's tactics, but even so, the huge benefits that the spiritual network can bring to alchemy practitioners cannot be ignored.
More importantly, the reputation of the Jiuyang Sect was also preserved. After all, when people mentioned alchemy practitioners now, their first impression was the ruthless old man with iron hands who burned pills. When people talked about the Jiuyang Sect, they would think of it as "the crazy sect that only made the best pills or burned pills." No one dared to question the sect's business reputation and product quality anymore.
Having restored the sect's reputation and made a fortune, Chen Dancheng, who had gained both fame and fortune, finally shook off his previous dejection and began to chat and laugh at the banquet:
"Brother Xuanqing, have you seen our sect's live broadcast?"
"Oh my, too many people have placed orders, and the stock is almost running out. I sent a letter overnight asking my disciples to hurry up and refine the pills!"
"Hahahaha, where else can we buy top-grade elixirs besides us? So we have no choice but to work hard!"
Finally riding the east wind of the Internet, the entire Jiuyang Sect was immersed in a sense of excitement as if something had fallen from the sky, and they gladly accepted all the proposals put forward by the Hehuan Sect.
What? Planting a signal tower at the Jiuyang Gate to connect to the spiritual network?
All sorts of things! Keep going! The sooner the better, otherwise where will we go live after the conference is over?
They wish they could skip the tree species cultivation stage and directly carry back a mature signal tower with a single recharge, so that they can live a happy and joyful information-based life from then on.
With the Qingfeng Sword Sect and Tianyan Sect having set great examples, and the Jiuyang Sect being very active and enthusiastic, other participating sects also began to actively ask to connect to the spiritual network. The Hehuan Sect even faced the dilemma of not having enough saplings.
"I'm so sorry, Uncle Li. I know your Beastmaster Sect is a powerful sect, but we really don't have any more tree species. We just gave the last one to Shennong Valley... I know, I know. Don't worry, I'll contact you as soon as I find a new tree species!"
Ning Shu smiled and sent off the Beastmaster, who kept looking back every few steps. After spending the whole morning with a smile on his face, he just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly a faint voice sounded from behind him: "Young Master, I have something to ask you about the Spiritual Network."
Ning Shu was startled and quickly turned around, only to find that the person who spoke was the old man Wuwei, the head of the Tianji Pavilion.

Have you ever seen those live streams of people opening kilns and smashing porcelain? I heard that they are now banned and everyone is using them to scam foreign friends. It really is true that only tricks can win people's hearts [dog head]
