Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male prot...
Chapter 112 Fang Wuyu is the only one who was not invited
"What?"
"Is this the Sword-wielding Elder of the Qingji Sect?"
"It's absolutely beautiful..." Fu Xiu said in a low voice.
The Fu Xiu of Yinbing Pavilion are short of literary vocabulary. When describing beautiful women, they often use a sentence like "beautiful, very beautiful, extremely beautiful" to rank and express their feelings.
If we use the levels of offers that Internet companies send to fresh graduates to describe their grading of beauty.
Xuezhu is a little beauty and should get a cheap offer for fresh graduates.
Jiang Ying is a great beauty and deserves a SP-level salary.
At this moment, even though Ning Mingmei's face was strangely embedded in the back window of the room. But when he walked into the hut with the snow and wind outside the door that was as heavy as falling jade, the talisman practitioners had already given Ning Mingmei a designated SSP in their hearts.
Peerless beauty!
"Hello, Sword-wielding Elder!"
"Sword-wielding Elder, please take a seat."
Wei Xi: ...Where is your self-esteem as a disciple of Yinbing Pavilion!
The only one among all the talisman practitioners who maintained his concentration was Bei Qiusuo. Even though he didn't get along with this person, Wei Xi couldn't help but look up to him.
Bei Qiusuo looked serious, upright and polite.
"Elder Zhijian, Wei Xi and I are good friends. I heard that he was practicing at Piaomiao Peak, so I came here specially to see him." Bei Qiusuo bowed ninety degrees and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, Elder Zhijian, for taking care of him."
“…”
Who has friendship with you? In order to get Master Ning Feng to look at you more, did you even make up such nonsense as "friendship"? !
Even though he was screaming in his heart, Wei Xi still understood them very well - after all, when he first met Ning Mingmei, the turmoil in Wei Xi's heart was no less than theirs.
...Otherwise, why would I have believed Ning Mingmei's lies so easily and been brought back to Qingji Sect by him?
After developing Fei Si Bu and Lian Shu, Wei Xi believed that he had put himself in good shape.
After all, just like without design, you would think that the client is a peerless beauty. No programmer would think that a product manager is a stunning beauty.
In his heart, the three words "Ning Ming Mei" transcend the superficial and the suffering of the flesh, and have since become a higher symbol.
For example, at this moment, after Ning Mingmei briefly greeted the few talisman cultivators, he said to him, "Xiao Wei."
Wei Xi's legs went limp: "Ah."
...Damn, Ning Mingmei’s voice is still so nice.
Ning Mingmei: "Xiao Wei, Xiao Ling. I came here to talk about the function of loading videos in Fei Si Bu..."
Ning Mingmei: "Can you estimate how long it will take to develop a new feature before releasing it?"
…Ahhh, why is it resource estimation again!
Surrounded by his fellow disciples, Wei Xi had no choice but to reveal a number that was extremely humiliating to his soul. All the fellow disciples were awed and admired, and Ning Mingmei nodded with satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, I wrote a letter to your Pavilion Master a few days ago." Ning Mingmei mentioned it casually, "The letter said..."
Wei Ximao was about to explode.
Ning Mingmei: "You are the most outstanding talisman practitioners I have ever seen. Over the past hundred years, there have been tens of thousands of talisman practitioners in Yinbing Pavilion. I have seen talisman practitioners in the Spiritualization Stage, and I have seen quite a few in the Nascent Soul Stage. But you are the talisman practitioners with the most potential that I have ever seen!..."
……ah?
Ning Mingmei's praise in front of his fellow disciples made Wei Xi and Ling Yuan feel elated. The system complained: "Why are the expressions of those talisman cultivators beside you so serious when you praise Wei Xi?"
Moreover, Wei Xi and Ling Yuan were so happy that they didn’t look like they had been up all night.
Ning Mingmei said: "The essence of praise is not in praise, nor in monetary incentives."
It's about pulling down and stepping down.
Ning Mingmei: "I am very familiar with this."
System: "What on earth have you been through?"
Ning Mingmei finished his speech and added another small request to them: to add official identity authentication to Feisi Book.
"For example, your personal certification is that you are the chief talisman cultivator who developed the Fei Si Book." Ning Mingmei said, "Fei Si Book has been online for a few days, and the number of users has exceeded 100,000, and the proportion of active users is as high as 80%. Now, Fei Si Book has been promoted in first-class sects including Qingji Sect, Yanyun Tower, Minghua Valley, Yinbing Pavilion, Qiushi Sect, Baopu Temple, etc. At the same time, the number of users is still growing rapidly. Although we have currently limited the promotion to first-tier sects, the number of registered users increased by 12,000 people yesterday alone. Wei Xi, Ling Yuan, it's time to let these 100,000 cultivators know your names."
One hundred thousand!
Ning Mingmei said this number lightly, as if he had no idea how outrageous this number was, and how shocking it was to the six talisman cultivators who had never participated in the Fei Si Book.
One hundred thousand people is already a large army for the mortal world, let alone the world of immortal cultivation where the population is already sparse.
According to this number, I’m afraid that now, all the people from the top three immortal sects have already registered for Feisi Book. TOP5 and TOP10 are also joining rapidly.
How much fame can the talisman practitioners gain by working hard to complete commissions and perform heroic deeds? Even if he went through great pains to kill a big monster in a Class B secret realm, only a few thousand people would eventually know of his name.
Even fewer people can remember his name.
The life of a cultivator is long, and there are many talented people in the cultivation world. If we compare them from the perspective of the entire history of the cultivation world, the cultivators standing here are just a few ordinary people.
Fame without earth-shaking deeds is like loose sand, which will be scattered by the wind.
But Wei Xi and Ling Yuan had only been in Qingji Sect for a few months, and already one hundred thousand cultivators knew their names!
And their names will be engraved on the "personal certification" of Feisi Book. Any cultivator who uses the Fei Si Book will know who the founder of the Fei Si Book is.
The six talisman practitioners were all numb at once.
Don’t they know the true strength of Wei Xi and Ling Yuan? Although he is indeed a genius...but he is not so genius that he deserves such legendary treatment, right? !
But who made them encounter good opportunities and angels who appreciate them?
That angel is Ning Mingmei who is smiling at this moment.
But……
——We can do it too!
——Damn it, I also want the whole world to know that I made such a great thing!
——I know that the life of a monk is as short as dew, only a few thousand years, but, but...
(Quoted from a haiku by Kobayashi Issa)
——Coach, I want to learn how to draw talismans!
Ning Mingmei said casually, "By the way, at the end of this month, I will transfer the share of Feisibo's income to your account. Alas, it's the early stage of the business, and there's not much money. But you two are shareholders, and although the money is not much, don't shirk it! When Feisibo has 200,000, 500,000, or 1 million users in the future, you will be the veterans."
!
There are also dividends.
And equity.
There are even big pie with tens of millions of users! !
Wei Xi and Ling Yuan were overjoyed and said a few hypocritical words, "Oh, no need. We talisman practitioners are extremely indifferent to fame and gain. It's enough for a mere Jindan cultivator to benefit 100,000 cultivators."
This made the eyes of the six talisman practitioners nearby almost burn.
Then the two of them ran back to the workbench to draw talismans.
The talisman practitioners will only be particularly active when faced with functions related to their own welfare. For example, now, the only thing Wei Xi and Ling Yuan want to do is to quickly put the gold label of "Founder of Fei Si Bu" on their own account.
The bait had already been spread, but Ning Mingmei was in no hurry to leave. He sat on a chaise longue, with an attitude of "I'm just passing by and sitting down by the way".
The college job fair held by Piaomiao Peak at the Yinbing Pavilion disciples' location is now starting.
The six talisman practitioners exchanged glances secretly. One of the female Fu Xiu with a long ponytail came over.
The female Fu Xiu is a girl who looks very generous. She was smart enough not to get straight to the point, but instead asked how Ling Yuan and Wei Xi were doing.
Trying to get closer to the relationship.
Ning Mingmei said: "The life here is very humane."
What this means is that labor laws are not followed, which is very much in line with the boss’s human nature.
“The working hours are also flexible.”
This means flexible overtime at night.
"There is afternoon tea every afternoon, and supper in the evening."
How can I provide you with midnight snack if you don't work overtime until night?
"As for being sick or something like that, just go to Qizhen Peak."
Although Qizhen Peak has now become a branch peak of Piaomiao Peak - considering that the peak master Zhang Zhizhen prefers to make soup and knit sweaters for his disciples rather than being competitive.
"The disciples have a very good personal relationship with each other. They often go to seminars together and participate in some team-building activities, which help them to exercise their bodies and strengthen their wills."
Of course it’s a team-building activity held on the weekend, hahahaha.
And you have to take a taxi back and forth by yourself.
Surprise or not.
"Also, there are some areas for games and rest. Recently, I am considering getting a cat for Piao Miao Peak to be the peak cat, so that the disciples can relax."
Employees in normal companies usually get off work at 5 o'clock. Who would rest and have fun in the company?
Don’t these small favors reflect the fact that employees stay in the company all day and all night?
"Food and accommodation are also provided."
It's better to include food. Immortals practice fasting, but Coke and Sprite don't count - as to whether drinking Coke and Sprite counts as fasting, all the cultivators unanimously agree.
How can drinking Coke or Sprite not be considered fasting?
Just like I drink sugar-free cola and sugar-free milk tea, how does that hinder me from quitting sugar?
Therefore, the only thing to provide with food is Sprite and Coke. As we all know, Internet companies love to provide high-sugar snacks.
As for the free accommodation, it is of course to make it convenient for employees to come back and work overtime.
From then on, social life revolved around the company, entertainment revolved around the company, medical care revolved around the company, and food and accommodation revolved around the company. If you leave the company, you will lose everything.
When the mountain villa near Piaomiao Peak is completed, the company will provide them with a loan for the down payment.
Only company employees can apply for that.
As soon as employees join the company, they can apply for a loan. What a great favor this is! The only requirement is to stay in the company during the loan repayment period. As a result, employees no longer even think about changing jobs. They are not afraid of any outside blows or rains and just need to focus on doing their job well.
Ning Mingmei's glasses were evil, and the system was trembling.
...Where did Ning Mingmei learn so many inner thoughts?
Ning Mingmei: "I was just kidding."
System: ...You'd better be.
Ning Mingmei: "Of course, at least every one of my outside disciples can have their own toilet. I'm not Pin 00. And here, they don't have to count down and punch in when they go to the toilet. Isn't that very humane?"
System: “Ah???”
What kind of hell picture is this?
When all the wonderful conditions were listed, the female talisman practitioner's eyes suddenly brightened.
Snacks!
An opportunity for self-cultivation!
A developmental work project!
Focus and emphasis on innovation!
There are even cats and midnight snacks!
There is even a chance to get equity (pie in the sky)!
Is there any better place in the world?
The six talisman cultivators were very excited and immediately spoke witty words, trying to sign a contract to sell themselves to Ning Mingmei.
Even Bei Qiusuo asked seriously: "Master Ning Feng, do I still have a chance?"
Ning Mingmei frowned after listening to their various words, and said hesitantly: "If the owner of Yinbing Pavilion knew that you all ran here... he wouldn't be angry, right?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Pavilion Master Ying will definitely not be angry." Gai Yan interrupted immediately, "Pavilion Master Ying stays in the Master's Pavilion every day to draw talismans, and rarely goes out to take care of things."
"Master Ying likes to draw talismans, draw lots, tell fortunes, and observe the stars at night to predict good and bad luck. If the lot he draws is not good, he will not go out."
"Originally, Pavilion Master Ying was also going to come and watch the Qingyan Competition. But before he left, he suddenly said that he had drawn a very fierce card, and felt that if he came, he would get into trouble, so he changed his mind at the last minute and decided not to go out."
The leader of Yinbing Pavilion doesn't care about the matter?
Rely on drawing talismans when going out? By divination?
Ning Mingmei: "You, the Yinbing Pavilion, are really the mine...world prodigy that I want the most. It's a pity that the Pavilion Master is not coming."
What trouble could Pavilion Master Ying get into by coming to Qingji Sect? Not only will there be no trouble, but I can also communicate with Ning Mingmei in a friendly manner. How great is that.
However, these words also made Ning Mingmei realize that the relationship between Qingji Sect and Yinbing Pavilion was indeed good. Otherwise, why would a Pavilion Master go out in person to watch the competition?
To round off, Qingji Sect and Yinbing Pavilion are brother units. To round it off a little, there is no need to settle accounts between brothers, so it is natural for the talisman cultivator from Yinbing Pavilion to come to Qingji Sect to study.
Ning Mingmei continued to play hard to get: "But you are from Yinbing Pavilion. It won't be a problem for you to live in Qingji Sect for a long time?"
"No."
"If we don't come to Qingji Sect, we will have to travel around and practice."
"In the secret realm, you can also travel and practice. In the Qingji Sect, you can also travel and practice. There is no difference!"
"Just go down the mountain from time to time to do a few tasks and pay your contribution to the sect."
Ning Mingmei was satisfied after receiving a definite answer, and he threw the six talisman cultivators into the talent pool for a while: "Okay, I'll think about it and consider your abilities. You guys go back and wait for notification."
It is also a common practice for large companies to recruit by tapping into the talent pool. Bubbles are healthier.
Finally, the development of HowNet and the personalization of bamboo slips (mobile phone development) can be put on the agenda.
There are also useful tools such as MATLAB and jupyternotebook, as well as machine learning and advertising groups.
It's time to show your true academic strength!
It’s time to do some decent calculations in the paper!
Not to mention how anxious and sad the six talisman cultivators were, how they had been circling around Wei Xi and Ling Yuan these past few days, and even, in order to show off themselves, helped solve the talisman server's recent lag problems caused by the influx of a large number of users.
Ning Mingmei returned to the front peak and attended the celebration banquet hosted by Old Seventeen.
Old Seventeen was holding a Coke, his face flushed with excitement: "Brothers and sisters, I have come here, everyone please don't stop!"
His smile was bright, like a flower of hope.
The other disciples were extremely jealous when they saw Old Seventeen's number of fans rising rapidly and his status as a hot search topic all day long. Ning Mingmei asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
If you are so anxious now, won't you be jealous to death when you see your classmates' citations exceed ten thousand in the future?
Ning Mingmei said: "Don't do things for the sake of momentary happiness, but look at the long-term development. Old Seventeen has gained a little fame, but this kind of fame is too exhausting, and it was all earned by his own fists and feet."
It's really not cost-effective.
It would be better to add your name to someone else's paper.
The next day there was a competition between Old Fifteen, Old Twelve and Old Eighteen. As usual, Ning Mingmei asked Old Seventeen to remember to go and divert traffic.
In addition, those from Yuting Peak also said they wanted to go. Especially Jiang Chennian who is currently on the rise.
"Hey, Jiang Yu, I always feel that as long as I can follow Master Ning, I can go to higher places." Jiang Chennian said emotionally.
…For some reason, perhaps because he studied too hard, Jiang Chennian was also infected by Piaomiao Peak’s way of speaking.
Ning Mingmei also received another verbal letter from a disciple at Piaomiao Peak. Only after hearing the message did Ning Mingmei raise his eyebrows: "Huh?"
It turns out that there will be a competition among Fang Wuyu’s disciples this afternoon.
In terms of time, this competition took place right after Old Seventeen's competition.
In theory, there is no time conflict between the two competitions. When Ning Mingmei was planning, he did not take the competition between Fang Wuyu's disciples into consideration.
But the reason why an unexpected surprise is called a surprise is because it is too unexpected.
The topic of Old Seventeen's competition was too hot, and the fact that He Yin was taken away on the spot after the competition left people with endless room for imagination. Therefore, in the minds of all the disciples, Old Seventeen had a counterattack script of "going from obscurity to successfully combating evil forces."
Therefore, after the competition, many disciples still stayed in the No. 5 field of C. They either opened their Feisi Books and punched in to prove they had been there, or discussed with their companions, or just ran after Lao Shiqi, wanting to have a few words with him.
It wasn't until they realized it that they realized...
The time for Fang Wuyu's disciples to compete has passed.
Although Fang Wu Yu's disciples won, their victory was quiet and deserted, with only two or three kittens spectating outside the venue. Even his own senior sisters and brothers went to watch the fight between Old Seventeen and Old Seventeen.
This made Fang Wu Yu, who had come in person to cheer on his disciples, feel humiliated.
"Fang Wuyu didn't send me a message? If that's the case, then I don't know about this matter." Ning Mingmei said, "Let him be."
The disciple who entered the room said: "The peak master is magnanimous!"
Ning Mingmei: "He will get used to it sooner or later anyway."
Disciple:?
Although he said so, Ning Mingmei was not very optimistic. Before going to bed, he went to the back mountain to find Gui Ruoxue and comfort her wounded heart.
Gui Ruoxue took a sip of Sprite and said coldly, "You brought Lu Mengqing here without telling me in advance."
Ning Mingmei: "This happened suddenly."
Gui Ruoxue: "Forget it. Wherever you are, there are always so many unexpected things. I am the only one who can stand you."
Due to the hot sales of Coke and Sprite, Ning Mingmei generously took out some money and purchased a lot of experimental materials for Gui Ruoxue. He then asked with concern: "How is your own research going? Have you chosen a topic? Have you made any progress?"
Gui Ruoxue frowned and said coldly: "Can't you let me rest for a while? Now, only Sprite can give me a brief peace."
It's rare that Gui Ruoxue, who always keeps clamoring to do research, was actually tamed by Sprite.
"In fact, I have been working on something with Wu Yun and Hu Yang these days." Gui Ruoxue said, "To be honest, it's all your fault. There are too few people available!"
Ning Mingmei said: "How can you blame me? It's not easy to gather a bunch of talented criminals like you."
If it was really constructed according to Ning Mingmei's ideal blueprint, he would have to at least build an Arkham Hospital in the back mountain so that he could rely on the talents that emerged there to meet the needs of development.
Gui Ruoxue snorted, "But those mute slaves I found before are useless. They are all stupider than the others, and they are prone to leaking information. Therefore, I figured out with them how to make some useful puppets so that these puppets can do more delicate work."
The fully automated assembly line is going to be upgraded again.
Ning Mingmei seemed very open-minded: "Okay, Shan. Tell me if you need anything."
Gui Ruoxue said: "This little thing is not difficult for me. I also have some experience in talisman cultivation. However, it would be great if I could have a puppeteer."
Puppet Master...
Ning Mingmei: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Talent.
Still a talented person.
How can he gather enough talents who can legally work for him in the back mountain?
Ning Mingmei had only taken two steps when he saw Wu Yun.
The boy was sitting by the water, healing a bird with an injured wing.
The chicks were attacked while they were hatching. Ning Mingmei sat next to him and greeted him.
Speaking of which, Wu Yun has been very silent since he came to Piaomiao Peak. Ning Mingmei talked to him occasionally, but they didn't say much in total.
Ning Mingmei said: "This little bird is very close to you."
Wu Yun looked at the bird and said, "The Li people are naturally close to birds and animals."
He healed the bird's wounds and put it back on the treetop. Ning Mingmei said: "You are so gentle."
"Well... I've always cared about the fact that I took so many lives." Wu Yun said softly.
Ning Mingmei: "At least now, your Coke and Sprite have brought happiness to countless lives."
Wu Yun smiled faintly, rarely showing a glimpse of his former youthful appearance. He looked at the bird's nest and said, "It is always difficult for a life to be born. In the wild, the survival rate of this kind of bird when hatching eggs is only one in ten."
Ning Mingmei: "What a pity."
Wu Yun: "It would be great if this little bird could reproduce as quickly as mushrooms, dropping spores and little birds would be born... This is what Xuezhu once told me."
Ning Mingmei: "Very good... huh?"
?
Wu Yun: "Nothing... I just like the feeling of life being born."
? ?
On the way back, the system was worried: "I always feel that everyone becomes abnormal after arriving at your back mountain."
Ning Mingmei: "It's okay, just some ordinary research interest."
…You call this research interest.
"Compared to this, the most important thing now is to find a chance to capture a puppeteer for Gui Ruoxue." Ning Mingmei said seriously, "If there are other talents, we can also capture them. Anyway, if they are left there, there will always be a time when they will be useful."
system:……
Ning Mingmei: "Above the middle stage of the Golden Core, otherwise I will have to pay for food."
Ning Mingmei was touched by Wu Yun and Gui Ruoxue's influence. This led him to decide to redeem more villains.
But before that, the first thing he had to do was to win the competition with Fang Wuyu.
The next morning, Ning Mingmei forwarded the event information of Mingwu Peak again. Today's event on the 15th overlaps with a competition at Baiyun Peak, so Ning Mingmei didn't actually have much hope.
However……
"Today's audience is more than I thought." Ning Mingmei was surprised.
In fact, it’s more than just “much more”. Judging from the huge number of people, Ning Mingmei estimated that more than one-third of the spectators from Fang Wuyu's event were attracted to his place.
It seems that Lao Shiqi's competition yesterday was even more outrageous than Ning Mingmei had imagined.
Old Fifteen is a nerd and you can't expect him to say anything. Ning Mingmei created him with a cute and slow-reacting character.
For example, you can hit and fall flat on the ground at the same time.
Old Fifteen even used magic to grow a strand of hair for himself that swayed in the wind.
Sure enough, both the flat-fall strategy and the aho-hair strategy were quite successful. Lao Shiwu was lucky enough not to meet an opponent like He Yin, and he won the game smoothly.
Even the advertising went smoothly.
In addition, Ning Mingmei also used the new animated image technology developed by Feisi Book yesterday. The animated image function was released at the same time as Lao Shiwu’s victory. The official accounts of Wei Xi and Ling Yuan are already online. The example animated image they used was the one where Old Fifteen triumphantly held the sword and his hair trembled.
The world of immortal cultivation has never seen the technique of "malicious cuteness". Everyone covered their chests.
"His hair is so cute!!"
So when it was Lao Shiba's turn in the afternoon, the crowd could not be said to be flocking to him, but they could be said to have swarmed in.
The Eighteenth Prince was the son of a king of a different surname from the human race, but unfortunately he was a bastard. His mother was the daughter of a criminal and a concubine from the Music Bureau.
So since he was born, Lao Shiba knew that it was impossible for him to inherit much from the family.
He has always wanted to make a career of his own.
Lao Shiba is very smart, has a quick mind and a clever tongue, and is very good at accounting. After Ning Mingmei came out of confinement, he sensed an opportunity and had been thinking about doing more things for Ning Mingmei in order to gain more of Ning Mingmei's trust.
He knew he had resources. But as a bastard's son, these resources cannot always be relied upon.
Therefore, in the competition arena, Lao Shiba also plays the role of a clever and smart "younger brother". Moreover, he performed more enthusiastically than other disciples. For example, before going on stage, he kissed the emblem of Qingji Sect.
"Victory belongs to the Qingji Sect," he said.
"ah--!!"
The high-level business received round-the-clock applause. The GIF of Lao Shiba kissing the logo became very popular on Fei Si Book. Even Qi Miancheng forwarded the GIF sent by Ning Mingmei.
@齐免成: Heroes have always emerged from youth.
Ning Mingmei only had one answer to this: "Tsk."
The main character of Lao Twelve is a sunny genius who loves to play pranks, and he also left a famous scene where the tip of a sword blooms. While everyone was almost tired of screaming, they also had a clear understanding.
"Why are the competitions at Piao Miao Peak always so unique! So beautiful! So strong!"
"It's very strange. I can't remember most of the contestants from other peaks, but I remember every contestant from Piao Miao Peak. What's going on?"
“And they all love drinks!”
"Don't say that. I went to five souvenir shops and they were all sold out!"
"But the boss told me not to worry, there will be a surprise in a few days."
After the three games, Ning Mingmei was preparing to retire.
As a result, he had only taken two steps when he met Fang Wuyu again.
Fang Wu Yu was still wearing his luxurious clothes. Even in the twilight, Ning Ming Mei could still see the golden luster of the fabric on his clothes. He folded his hands and looked at Ning Mingmei, with arrogance and coldness in his eyes.
But there are still some inexplicable emotions.
"Ning Mingmei." Fang Wuyu said, "Congratulations. I heard that Piao Miao Peak won all three games today."
"No, no." Ning Mingmei said, "I heard that Brother Fang's two disciples also won a great victory in the competition today."
Fang Wuyu snorted: "Really?"
Ning Mingmei: "Yes. Thanks to Mingwu Peak for reporting the results of the battles on the Feisi Book every day. Otherwise, no one I know has ever watched Baiyun Peak's games."
…
"Fei Si Bu??"
