Chapter 81

Ning Shu's plan was actually very simple, which was to find a way to connect the Qingfeng Sword Sect to the "local area network" of the City That Never Sleeps. Now, all the opinions on it were biased towards the Hehuan Sect. Even if they were wary at the beginning, as long as they kept using it, they would change their minds imperceptibly sooner or later.

She instructed Xuan Mo to close his eyes and feel with his heart. Soon, a golden thread extended from the seedling and connected with Xuan Mo. At the moment of the connection, the admiration and love that had been gathered in Xuan Mo nourished the new seedling like a sweet rain. It trembled and extended its tender leaves, and actually grew several inches taller on the spot.

Now its appearance has changed from a skinny bean sprout to a tenacious weed.

"Hurry! Xuan Mo, take out your Shuangqi flower and let me see it!" Ning Shu couldn't wait to come over and urge.

Xuan Mo took out the golden silk flower tied on his wrist and activated it. The strange page that had been displaying "404" since leaving the City That Never Sleeps disappeared, replaced by a normal page like the one in the City That Never Sleeps. The system was even automatically updating because it was connected to the Internet.

"It's connected again?" Xuan Mo was surprised for a moment before suddenly realizing, "Did it rely on the spiritual weapon just now?"

"Yes, yes! Now you are one of our Hehuan Sect's own!" Ning Shu took out a few golden silk flowers from his Qiankun bag that he had packed away before leaving home for emergency use and distributed them to the other sword-cultivating disciples: "Take these first and activate the Shuangqi Flower to see if you can get online."

"What is this?" The leading sword cultivator, with a curious look on his face, injected spiritual energy into the silk flower. A light screen, identical to the one used by the sect leader's fellow disciple, instantly appeared before his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder, "Spirit Shadow Stone?"

"You can think of it as an upgraded version of the Spirit Shadow Stone. Unlike the Spirit Shadow Stone, which can only passively receive programs, this dual-dwelling flower also supports users to actively upload works or post comments." Ning Shu said as he opened his own dual-dwelling flower and clicked on the Wutong's Aim interface to show it to the sword disciple.

"You can even choose the content you want to watch anytime, anywhere, which greatly facilitates communication and interaction. After using it a few times, you'll completely fall in love with the feeling of surfing the Internet."

According to news from within the sect, the permanent population of the City That Never Sleeps is steadily increasing every month, and many monks who come to visit choose to delay their departure as much as possible.

Why is this happening? It’s because I’ve gotten used to it and don’t want to go back to the disconnected life I had before.

"I'll lend you this sapling. You can connect to the internet as long as you stay near it. If you can help other sword cultivators learn more about the real world through the internet, then the stereotypes about our Hehuan Sect will naturally disappear!" Ning Shu looked at Xuan Mo with a smile on his face:

"I've lent you all of our sect's secret treasures, Xuan Mo. Please don't let me down!"

After all, this fruit is quite precious, and she only has three of them at the moment.

Xuan Mo made a promise with a solemn expression, and then raised his doubts about Ning Shu's plan: "Love websites are full of star-chasing and hedonistic content. Ordinary disciples will like it, but Master and Senior Brothers probably won't accept it easily."

It is even possible that this thing will be regarded as a monster and killed with the sword the first time it is seen.

"Don't worry. How can the Internet be used only for entertainment? Relying on its convenient information transmission function, it is also extremely convenient to use it for academic exchanges." Ning Shu said, pointing his finger at the large screen that Xuan Mo had already updated. There were several new icons there.

Ning Shu has been away recently, and the production and upgrading of these apps are all done by the leader of the Hehuan Sect. Ning Shu put forward some preliminary ideas, and then his mother turned them into reality bit by bit.

"Take for example this software called 'Asking for Divination'." Ning Shu tapped the small blue pattern with his finger, and the program popped up instantly. What caught everyone's eyes was a very simple and plain page.

Different from the bustling Wutongzhimu page that is flooded with miscellaneous information as soon as it is opened, this page for seeking advice on divination is simple and neat. The titles are arranged in the form of questions. There is no eye-catching exaggeration and no quarrels between fans. Everything is so quiet and plain.

If Wutongmu is a bustling market, then this divination is like a solemn Sutra Library. Although they are on the same screen, they are two completely different worlds.

Everyone looked over curiously, and saw that the questions lined up were also very serious.

＃How can I remove the poison when refining the rejuvenation pill? ＃

#Today, while practicing, I always felt that the spiritual energy flow near Baihui acupoint was sluggish. How can I keep the spiritual meridians smooth? #

＃How many types of thunder tribulations occur during Dan formation? What are the strategies for dealing with each? ＃

#Is there any talisman master who can take a look? Why did the exorcism talisman I drew attract monsters? #

There are many casual cultivators who ask questions about the problems they encounter during their cultivation. There are also some cultivators who want to make elixirs and talismans on their own and ask questions without hesitation. There are also some cultivators who discuss their experiences in cultivation and training. There is even a post discussing such a profound question as "What is Tao?"

"This looks just like the sect's library. All the disciples who have questions come here to check the ancient books..." A sword-cultivating disciple murmured to himself in amazement.

"No, this place is different from the library." Ning Shu smiled and clicked on one of the questions: "The books in the library won't answer the questions themselves, and not every cultivator has the opportunity to enter."

Due to various reasons such as resource limitations or the protection of ancient books, the libraries of most sects are not always open to all disciples. Generally, only disciples who are at important stages of foundation building or core formation are eligible to enter and take a look, and they usually have to come out within half an hour.

"I think this software is more like a master who can teach various cultivation experiences than a library. Look, hasn't this cultivator's question been answered?"

Everyone followed Ning Shu's guidance and looked over there, where the cultivator who had previously refined the rejuvenation elixir indeed got the answer they wanted.

A Incense Burner of Heaven and Earth (Quality Answerer):

My friend, I have seen the picture of the finished product you sent. Your rejuvenation pill is gray in color and has no impurities. This problem is probably caused by insufficient heat and uneven distribution of the medicinal power in the pill.

Here are some tips for controlling the heat...

Besides, as an alchemist, your medicine furnace can be simple, but it absolutely cannot withstand high temperatures. If you're short on cash, I have a few remedies. You need to collect two taels of soil from the nest of fire ants, add bitter road grass, and grind it into powder...

In this way, although the process is a bit cumbersome, ordinary alchemists can also greatly improve the heat resistance of the medicine furnace.

The author of this reply is obviously an experienced alchemist. Not only did he easily answer the poster's question, he also very patiently wrote down the solution and alchemy tips. In the end, he even considerately helped the poster solve the problem of the medicine furnace. He spoke so eloquently and meticulously that even a real master's teaching could not be more than this.

This answer was quickly pushed to the top of the list with thousands of likes, and the poster himself was filled with gratitude in the comment section. Gradually, other alchemists heard the news and came to post. They exchanged experiences, answered questions, and soon contributed a series of high-quality and valuable alchemy experiences.

The sword cultivators watched in amazement, and the leading sword cultivator was even more amazed at the content on the screen:

"This is really strange. In the past, most monks kept to themselves and didn't care about anything that didn't concern them. Those powerful ones wouldn't bother to care about anyone other than their own disciples. Why are they so generous online now? They're even sharing their experiences with strangers?"

"Well... because most of the cultivators you come into contact with are disciples of sects, they place more emphasis on the inheritance of the master's teachings. And the elders in the large sects are well-known and have many disciples, so they have no interest in teaching other cultivators."

Ning Shu stroked his chin and gave a thoughtful answer, "But these cultivators in the City That Never Sleeps are different. Sect disciples don't make up a large proportion of them. Most of them are independent cultivators without any sect or school. In real life, they fight alone while also having to be wary of other cultivators. So, online, they're even more eager to gather together for warmth."

After all, no one knows each other on the Internet, and you can exchange experiences without worrying about being backstabbed. Why not do it?

"Furthermore, even if those independent cultivators have achieved some fame through years of hard work, they rarely have the same fame as the elders in the sect, let alone disciples who actively seek them out."

Ning Shu clicked on the homepage of the user named "天天地一炉香". Judging from his previous answers and homepage information, he was indeed an unknown casual cultivator. Ning Shu pointed at the gold label of the high-quality answerer:

"Wealth and honor that don't return to one's homeland are like walking in fine clothes at night. Even if these wandering cultivators are full of knowledge and talent, no one appreciates them. It's only natural for them to crave some fame and praise, right? So I took advantage of this.

You see, this golden medal always follows the online name, which means that as soon as everyone on the software sees this logo, they will immediately know that the answerer is knowledgeable and talented.

So far, this answerer has attracted more than 2,000 fans with his professional ability. Isn't this also a recognition of his talent and knowledge by the outside world? "

Here, these answerers are no longer unknown casual cultivators in the world of cultivation, but professional answerers admired and worshipped by millions of people. Any of their answers will receive thousands of likes, and every day their followers will ask questions humbly and politely, which greatly satisfies their vanity.

So what if you're a sect elder? I'm a high-quality answerer with thousands of fans! Proud hands on hips.jpg

"I see..." The sword disciple nodded in admiration as he watched the excellent answers on the screen, each quoting from classics. "It seems that if you use this love network well, it can really be of great benefit to your cultivation. With this, we should be able to convince the Grand Elder and the Sect Master to keep this thing for the time being."

"Yes, in addition to this, you can also take some Spirit Shadow Stones back with you. These are all my friendly donations!" Ning Shu generously left them a bag of Spirit Shadow Stones, which contained a high-definition camera, television, and other things. Then she packed a small bag of dozens of Amphibian flowers and handed it to them, and asked casually:

"By the way, what are you going to do when you get back?"

"Give these things to the sect master and the supreme elder, and then explain everything clearly." The sword disciple spoke without hesitation.

Ning Shu: ...

Even if these things were not taken away immediately, why would they be spread?

"Oh, forget it, just do as I say..." Ning Shu sighed helplessly, leaned over and started muttering.
