149 Chapter 149
Ning Shu was immersed in the sweet experience of her first love for more than half a month before she finally had the mood to care about the basic situation after the expansion of the spiritual network.
To be fair, the Internet has changed a lot now.
First of all, during this period, my mother launched the live short video platform "Xiaojie" that she had been testing. Although my mother's original intention when she and Ning Shu designed this software was to allow everyone to relax during a nap, based on Ning Shu's experience, this software might easily turn a "nap" into a "vacation."
On the other hand, the number of online users that had skyrocketed during this period rushed into various major software programs, and soon the content on Lingwang became much richer and more interesting, especially the short video platform. Not only did the disciples of the Hehuan Sect work hard on it, but even the disciples of other sects began to post all kinds of content on it, and some of them were very successful.
For example, the blogger on Ning Shu's screen with the online name "Finally Become a Couple" is a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, so he often posts videos of himself raising various spiritual pets. Sometimes it's some kind of furry, meowing cat, and sometimes it's a brightly colored bird standing on his shoulder and chirping. Netizens are so adorable that they are crying and saying they want to join the Beast Taming Sect.
Ning Shu liked the video of this cute pet blogger and swiped the screen excitedly. A short and ordinary-looking cultivator appeared in front of the screen. He saw that there were more than 20,000 likes.
"Hello everyone, today I'm going to teach you how to make a unique recipe I've been tinkering with for two hundred years—stewed green dragon soup..."
So that's it, a food blogger. It seems that even if you're fasting, humans still can't get rid of their craving for delicious food! Ning Shu looked at the bubbling milky white soup and swallowed unconsciously. After sharing the video with Xuan Mo, he swiped the screen again with satisfaction.
This time, I finally saw a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Ever since this short video became popular, those disciples who had no chance to appear on camera finally had a way out. With the encouragement of the sect, each of them became a self-media blogger.
Because Ning Shu repeatedly ordered his disciples not to do anything inappropriate for minors on the Internet, and would ban them on the spot if discovered, so these disciples dared not do anything obscene. Most of them just played some music and danced in front of the screen within normal limits. Fortunately, everyone was beautiful and their looks were there, and their slim and plump figures could always attract some fans to flatter them.
However, this Hehuan Sect disciple obviously took a different approach. She gathered all her hair into a simple ponytail at the back of her head, and appeared in front of the camera with a face without makeup:
"Hello everyone, today I'm going to show you some natural makeup that you can wear for everyday outings, playtime, and training. Even if you're a swordsman who's always flying, you don't have to worry about your makeup messing up! First..."
She turned out to be a beauty blogger. This sister is really talented. Ning Shu silently gave a thumbs up and decided to put on this makeup next time she goes on a date with Xuan Mo.
The next one was a powerful person who seemed to have achieved great cultivation. He sat on a cushion and slowly talked about some methods and tricks of cultivation. The content was meaningful and full of practical information.
Really well said, I'll save it to my favorites!
Ning Shu clicked on the collection and swiped away.
Huh? We agreed to only watch for a quarter of an hour, how come half an hour has already passed in the blink of an eye? Ning Shu accidentally glanced at the time before she suddenly came back to her senses. This familiar yet helpless feeling was really a world away in many ways. She lay on the couch, feeling a little amused and helpless.
Forget it, forget it, things have come to this, I will just brush it for one last five minutes!
The next video is quite amazing. What comes into view is a man with pointed white animal ears. His thin and gorgeous clothes are open, revealing his muscular chest muscles and well-defined six-pack abs. He is holding a grape in his hand and slowly putting it into his mouth.
He was lying on the bed, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed towards the camera, his snow-white and fluffy tails lazily attached to his side, swaying from time to time, and his canine teeth exposed when he smiled, giving him a wild and indulgent beauty.
"Hiss..." Ning Shu couldn't help but gasp when watching this. Although the male cultivator seemed to be doing a food show, it was obvious that he had other intentions. The man on the screen exuded some unhealthy aura from head to toe. If he wasn't skirting the line, the name Ning Shu would be written backwards from now on!
What's going on? Where's the promise to build a clean and clear cyberspace?
Ning Shu was so angry that she called the Auditing Department directly: "Hello? Sister Hongxiu, I remember that our Hehuan Sect doesn't accept male disciples? Also, why don't we ban those streamers who are borderline?"
Hong Xiu, who was standing opposite, knew who Ning Shu had found the moment she heard it. She sighed helplessly, "We really don't accept male disciples. The one you found is from the fox demon clan. Do you see those ears and big tail? Those are their signature features."
Ning Shu: ...
I saw it, and I thought it was some kind of cosplay.
"That's not possible..."
“They’ve always made a living from this.”
"That's not possible..."
"No matter how strict the rules are, they'll always find a way to skirt them. If you still ban videos of this magnitude, those body cultivators who always wear vests won't be able to appear on screen anymore."
Ning Shu: ...
Yes, otherwise why is it called skirting the edge?
"That, that can't be..."
"Isn't it pretty?"
Ning Shu: ...
"My sisters all like to watch it, and it's not against the rules, so I'll keep it."
After Hongxiu finished speaking, she hung up the phone, leaving Ning Shu standing there alone with a confused look on his face.
In the video, the fox demon winked at the screen with its narrow eyes, as if it was some kind of protest.
"Oh, forget it. He didn't do anything public, so I might as well turn a blind eye..." Ning Shu sighed and prepared to raise his hand to pretend he didn't see it.
"Shushu, the stewed green dragon soup you want to drink..." As luck would have it, Xuan Mo pushed the door open at this time, holding a fragrant soup bowl in his hand.
The fox demon was still posing on the screen, but the two people in the room suddenly became quiet.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Let me explain..."
"Shushu...abdominal muscles...I have them too..."
Ning Shu: ...
Xuan Mo, do you have any misunderstanding about our Hehuan Sect?
Ning Shu was very happy for a while, being successful in love and career, until Bai Xuan came to him with a planning proposal.
"Is the second season of 'Xiu Xian Dream Factory' about to begin?" She glanced at the screen and suddenly realized, "So a lot of time has already passed?"
Bai Xuan looked at her helplessly: "Young Master, these days you have planned many programs and variety shows such as "Lecture Room", "I Love Refining", "Sect Survival", etc., and on a whim, you dragged Young Master Xuan Mo to shoot many short dramas. In addition, you are obsessed with love and don't care about the sun and the moon. Of course, you feel that time flies.
It's been a few years since the first talent show, and I've discussed it with the Sect Master and other elders. We all feel it's time for the Hehuan Sect to hold its second disciple-recruiting ceremony."
"Oh, you're right..." Ning Shu was just a little emotional about the news, and didn't have any major objections: "Then let's do it. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely do it. Then let the previous Nishang girl group come over to be mentors. This time, with the audience of the entire cultivation world, we will definitely be able to create another glory!"
Ning Shu herself had no interest in participating in it at all. She was only interested in developing new markets.
Bai Xuan's expression became even more helpless. "Young Sect Master, this is called a talent show, but it's actually our sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony. As someone who will soon be succeeding the throne, wouldn't it be best for you to attend on behalf of the Sect Master?"
"Ah... How come he's about to take the throne? It's clear that mother still has a long way to go before she can ascend..." Ning Shu's originally happy expression suddenly fell.
Since being promoted to the Golden Core Stage, Ning Shu's cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds with the help of Phoenix and the nourishment of his fans, especially Xuan Mo. Now, in just a few years, he has reached the late Golden Core Stage, and is not at all vulnerable to the thunder tribulation of infant formation that will come soon.
It's so funny. I've already endured the most difficult thunder tribulation, and the rest is just a sprinkle of water.
So the sect leader patiently observed for a few years, and when she felt the time was ripe, she decided to pass the position of sect leader to Ning Shu after she gave birth to her baby, so that she could resign and run away to travel.
Sect Leader: After all, the world of cultivation is very different from before. It’s not enough to just watch it online. My dear, I want to go on a spontaneous trip too! Smile.jpg
Ning Shu: But I haven't wasted enough, have I? Besides, who would take over as a sect leader at the Nascent Soul stage? Didn't they say it had to be at the Void Refining stage or above?
Because of this, the mother and daughter had countless extreme struggles over the years, but in the end, Ning Shu was defeated and had to accept the sad result that she would have to stay at home all year round after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
"Well, now that I've agreed, I have to do my best..." After all, this is the sect where she grew up, so Ning Shu still has a sense of responsibility. She took a deep breath, gathered herself, and stood up: "Let's go, let's go check on this group of newcomers who have come to register!"
Today, the Linglong Tower in the City That Never Sleeps is much more spacious and magnificent than when the Hehuan Sect first bought it. After years of expansion, each floor here is occupied by different departments. It has completely evolved into the "TV station building" of the City That Never Sleeps. It is natural that this talent show is held here.
The number of applicants this time is many times more than that of the first session. Judging from their attire, they are not just ordinary people. Many talented and even well-born monks have come excitedly to wait for the auditions. Fortunately, the venue on the first floor is much wider this time, so these contestants can be accommodated.
Seeing that each of these young girls' faces was filled with longing and expectation for joining the Hehuan Sect in the future, Ning Shu even had a vision of the innocent and simple students in his previous life.
"There are so many people here. It seems that the reputation of our Hehuan Sect has been completely cleared." Ning Shu couldn't help but feel emotional when he thought of the first audition a few years ago.
"Exactly! Nowadays, all the women in this world are proud to join our Hehuan Sect!" Bai Xuan found it incredible when she thought of the Hehuan Sect's bad reputation in the past: "Even other sects no longer avoid us like the plague. Now, when people mention the Hehuan Sect, who wouldn't say it is the most powerful sect in the world!"
This was all facilitated by the young girl in her early twenties next to him, so Bai Xuan also strongly supported and understood the sect leader's decision to give up his position.
What will the Hehuan Sect eventually become under the leadership of the young master? The future is truly exciting!
As they were talking, some of the contestants waiting for the audition recognized the seniors who came to inspect.
"Ning Shu! It's Ning Shu!"
"Really? Is this my future Young Master?"
"Ning Shu, I love your show so much!"
"Ning Shu, I'm your fan!"
Those innocent contestants started to rush over when they heard the sound. Soon, Ning Shu and Bai Xuan were surrounded by contestants. There was a gleam in each of their eyes, and they were full of youthful vigor and confidence.
They are the future of the sect, and who knows, one of them might become a prodigy who can call the wind and rain in the future.
Thinking of this, Ning Shu smiled: "Welcome everyone to Hehuan Sect, welcome to join Hehuan Sect Entertainment Media Co., Ltd."
