In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 220 Righteous Path Cultivation Technique? Peerless Demonic Art! (4K, please subscribe! Please vote!)

The afternoon of the day the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect course ended.

Inside the classroom, all fifty-one students sat in their seats, waiting for Bao Zhenren's arrival, their hearts filled with anticipation and trepidation.

The expectation naturally stems from the academic credits that can be earned after the bet is settled.

The anxiety stemmed from the moral pressure arising from investing in the evil cult.

Although society today can tolerate all legal sects, the actions of the Yuan Sect are somewhat related to its origins.

Will Master Bao scold them because of this?
With such mixed feelings, the slightly chubby Bao Zhenren strode into the classroom and stood on the podium.

Facing the expectant gazes of the students, Bao Zhenren's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Although Su Yuan could deceive his superiors and subordinates to some extent, how could the actions of the Yuan Sect during this period be kept secret from the Ten Masters?
Master Bao saw clearly the demonic acts of annexing the six major demonic sects, using all sorts of evil demonic pills, magical treasures, and enslavement methods to seize wealth, expand wildly, and inflate valuations.

To this, all he could say was... Su Yuanzhen is a damn genius at making money!

Yes, Master Bao's feelings towards Su Yuan and the Yuan Cult were nothing more than admiration.

As a PhD in Finance from Wanbaolou, Master Bao's moral bottom line is meant to be broken.

There's no such thing as good or evil; as long as you can make money, that's the right path.

Moreover, Su Yuan's actions were legal and beyond reproach.

His complicated feelings stemmed from the fact that Su Yuan was just too outstanding!
He was so outstanding that he carried the whole class to success.

The purpose of this entrepreneurship assessment was to put students in the harsh realities of society, let them experience the hardships of life, and make them understand the value of money.

The results of it?
Before these students even left the classroom, Su Yuan had already bought up all their investment capital.

After that, everything they thought, saw, and heard was guided by Su Yuan, and they were completely in a relaxed state of mind.

In such circumstances, how can students experience the harsh realities of society?

"Ugh……"

Master Bao sighed inwardly:
"Su Yuan is too honest; he actually helped his classmates make money."

"If he had simply run away with the money, my opinion of him would have increased tenfold, and the students would have also experienced the harsh realities of life. What a pity."

It's a pity, but the promises that should be kept cannot be reneges on.

After composing himself, Bao Zhenren's face regained its gentle smile:
"Students, the growth rate of your respective investments has been calculated. Please take a look."

As he spoke, a virtual screen appeared in the classroom.

All the students, including Su Yuan, looked at the investment rankings on the screen.

This list only counts the principal of one million yuan for each student; the extra money invested by Wang Qiu, Xi Yu, and others will not be included.

Needless to say, Su Yuan, the leader of the Yuan Cult, naturally tops the list.

Investment gains reached a staggering 700%!

Following closely behind were Yuan Cult cadres such as Chen Nuoyi and Yin Qiyue, whose investments increased by 400% to 500%.

Next up are the preparatory students.

The average increase was as high as 200%!

Why is there such a big difference in returns between investing the same principal of one million in the Yuanjiao sect?
The reasons are quite simple: one is that the investment projects are different, and the other is that the dividends for insiders of the Yuan Sect are different from those for ordinary investors.

For example, Xi Yu's ten million investment was basically used for the construction of the breeding base, and her income was naturally tied to the spirit beast breeding base.

The same logic applies to other investors; some are optimistic about Yuanshi Dantang, some about Yuanshi Lianqi, and others about Yuanshi Media.

Different investment focuses will naturally lead to different returns.

As the leader of the Yuan Cult, Su Yuan invested every penny of his one million in capital in the most suitable places, thus maximizing his returns.

Therefore, no one can find fault with this ranking.

If the conversion rate is 1,000 credits to 1 credit, then each student present will receive at least 2,000 credits.

Su Yuan, who topped the list, received an astonishing 7,000 credits.

Not to mention that during these twelve days, Su Yuan was also constantly completing other immortal sects' revenue-generating tasks.

Especially after the production lines for alchemy and weapon crafting were established, Su Yuan's revenue from the Xuan Yi Tian Zong exploded!
The total credits earned in twelve days reached a staggering 12,000!

Not to mention the more than 3,000 credits that Su Yuan had already obtained twelve days ago.

Adding the 7,000 credits after the Wanbaolou mission, his total credits are now locked at 22575!

Even if you buy the most expensive Foundation Establishment technique worth 5000 credits, and then buy a top-tier Immortal Spiritual Root worth 12000 credits, you'll still have credits left over!

Not to mention Su Yuan, even Chen Nuoyi, the vice leader of the Yuan Cult, has accumulated more than 10,000 credits over the long term.

It is foreseeable that in the next month, foundational students in the preparatory class will emerge like mushrooms after rain.

Furthermore, the first batch of Foundation Establishment students were mostly cadres of the Yuan Sect.

Once the Yuan Cult cadres are promoted to their respective Ten Great Immortal Sects, they will undoubtedly become the prodigies that these sects will focus on cultivating.

After realizing this, many students were filled with emotion.

The power of the Yuan Cult has begun to infiltrate the Ten Great Immortal Sects with unbridled force!
It's terrifying that everyone knows about this, yet no one can stop it!

As the students were lost in thought, their phones all vibrated simultaneously.

Upon opening the document, the corresponding credits have been added to the student information's credit section.

A series of low gasps of surprise rippled through the classroom.

Master Bao on the podium coughed lightly, drawing the students' attention back to the classroom.

"Everyone, the reason I set this twelve-day agreement is so that after you have experienced the basic courses of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, I can announce some advanced matters of the preparatory class on the spot."

"Advanced matters?"

Upon hearing this, the students in the preparatory class showed expressions of curiosity.

Master Bao slowly said:

"After a month of study, you must have figured out which sect or sects are right for you."

"You should also make a choice and specialize in one thing."

"And this so-called choice is not a verbal expression, but a choice of foundation-building techniques."

"Choosing a foundation-building technique is equivalent to choosing a corresponding immortal sect and profession."

"You have enough credits to buy a decent Foundation Establishment technique. Please use this afternoon to choose and purchase one."

"If you don't have enough credits, please choose the major you want to study and study accordingly to accumulate credits as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the students' expressions immediately turned solemn.

Is it finally time to choose a foundation-building cultivation method?
Although foundation-building techniques cannot determine everything, they are an extremely important threshold in a cultivator's life.

On such a major life event, no one dared to be negligent, and they quickly opened the list of exchangeable cultivation techniques and began to carefully select one.

Su Yuan also opened the exchange list and began to look at the massive number of Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques.

In fact, Su Yuan had opened the redemption list more than once in the past month.

Among the thousands of foundation-building techniques, he had clicked on the introductions of hundreds of them, but he always felt that these techniques were not quite right.

None of them seem to suit him very well.

With the deadline for selection fast approaching, Su Yuan could only choose one of the most expensive and popular Foundation Establishment techniques that suited him. "I remember the most precious Foundation Establishment technique is the 'Wanbao Record' from the Wanbaolou Finance Department, which costs as much as 5999 credits."

"It is said that if one enters the path of Taoism through this method, one will develop a strong affinity for wealth in all its forms."

"If you don't go towards wealth, wealth will go towards you... This is probably the most suitable cultivation method for me."

With this in mind, Su Yuan immediately sorted the prices of a foundation-building cultivation method.

The price sorting function of the redemption list is from low to high by default. You need to click again to switch to high to low.

Just as Su Yuan clicked the first button and the list of the lowest-priced Foundation Establishment techniques appeared, a "ding-dong" sound rang in Su Yuan's ears.

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring a top-tier Foundation Establishment demonic technique!]

Su Yuan: "???"

He looked at the Foundation Establishment techniques displayed on the interface, which had an exchange price of only 1800.

With just one glance, Su Yuan understood which peerless foundation-building demonic technique the dog system was referring to.

The Demon-Slaying Scripture!
Technique Description: Absorb the demonic energy from demonic cultivators for one's own use, as resources for Foundation Establishment!

By establishing a foundation using this method, one's foundation will possess the effect of "the higher the demon's reach, the greater the Tao's reach."

The higher the demonic power, the greater the righteous power: Each time a cultivator absorbs and refines demonic energy to solidify their foundation, the foundation positively propels the cultivator to become stronger, ensuring that the power of the righteous path always suppresses the demonic energy.

Judging from the description of the technique, this technique is very much in line with the mission of the Exorcising Demons Sword Sect to slay demons and monsters.

Cultivators can advance their cultivation by killing or subduing demonic cultivators and refining and suppressing the demonic energy on their bodies. By all accounts, this is a righteous cultivation method.

But... who says that only righteous cultivators can deal with demonic cultivators?

Su Yuan, as the leader of the Yuan Cult, had thousands of followers.

Every follower is filled with demonic energy. Can't this demonic energy be turned into something useful for them?
Therefore, the "Demon-Slaying Scripture" is far more effective in the hands of demonic giants than in the hands of righteous cultivators.

The dog system has already explained it very clearly.

The "Demonic Scripture" is not a righteous foundation-building technique at all, but a top-level demonic foundation-building technique!

It's just that the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect changed its name and made the description of its techniques look like the righteous path.

Su Yuan then checked the detailed information about the technique.

Then he was surprised to find that this technique was one of the most popular foundation-building techniques in the early days of the Exorcising Evil Sword Sect, and the technique itself was of a very high grade!
But why has this practice become obsolete?

Considering the historical context, Su Yuan suddenly realized the truth.

In the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, the Blue Star Federation was rife with disorder and crime.

Even those who receive the righteous inheritance often commit numerous evil deeds and become demonic cultivators.

In such an environment, cultivators of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect can easily capture a group of demonic cultivators and drain their demonic energy to build their foundation.

But that's no longer the case. The number of demonic cultivators is less than one percent of that of righteous cultivators, and most of them are operating legally.

How can I absorb other people's demonic energy to cultivate now?
Recruiting demonic cultivators as cultivation assistants? Or sending them to work as jailers in a high-crime prison?

This way you can indeed absorb demonic energy, but isn't it troublesome?
Moreover, even if one successfully establishes a foundation, a large amount of demonic energy is still needed to solidify the foundation; one can't be a jailer for life.

Besides, the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect doesn't only have this Foundation Establishment technique. Wouldn't it be better if I switched to an easier technique to cultivate?
Therefore, the Demon-Slaying Scripture quickly fell out of favor, and the credits required to exchange for this technique also decreased again and again.

But today, this demonic skill has encountered Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was extremely satisfied with this demonic technique!
The Yuan Sect has developed very well, and the demonic energy provided by its generals is enough to build the most solid foundation for its Dao.

As the Yuan Sect continues to grow and expand, one can continue to absorb an inexhaustible amount of demonic energy to become stronger.

It's definitely much better than Wanbaolu.

But... this is a technique from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect!
Although this technique can be applied to all specialties of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, Su Yuan wanted to apply to the Wanbaolou.

He wanted financial freedom, to become a capitalist... cough cough, an entrepreneur.

Should we choose the "Demon-Slaying Scripture" or the "Ten Thousand Treasures Record"?
Su Yuan fell into deep thought.

Just then, Chen Nuoyi, sitting next to Su Yuan, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, asking curiously:

"Su Yuan, which sect's foundation-building technique are you going to choose? I've already made my selection."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback:
"So fast, what did you choose?"

Chen Nuoyi handed the phone to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan took it and saw that the screen clearly displayed the four large characters "Heavenly Sword United".

Credit cost: 5000, associated institution: Sword Dao Department of Zhuxie Sword Sect.

Technique Description: This technique allows cultivators to fuse their unique talents (sword intent, spiritual power, bloodline power, etc.) with sword energy, using them as resources for foundation building.

After establishing a foundation using this method, one will obtain the "Heavenly Sword as One" effect.

Heavenly Sword Unity: This skill integrates the cultivator's unique talent into their Dao foundation, allowing them to imbue each of the cultivator's sword energies with the effects of that talent.

As a cultivator's innate abilities increase, the amplification effect on sword energy will also increase, showing extremely high growth potential.

Chen Nuoyi explained:

"I finally learned swordsmanship, and I can't let it go to waste just because I have the Purple Gold Dragon Qi."

"But if I can transform dragon energy into sword energy, then I can manage both."

"Moreover, 'Heavenly Sword United' is indeed quite suitable for me, because my special talent is very powerful, and I can perfectly bring out the effects of the technique."

At this point, the girl paused, then said somewhat shyly:

"However, after thinking it over and over, I still want to ask you which immortal sect you are planning to go to... I don't necessarily have to go to the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect."

"I'd rather stay classmates with you than go to an unfamiliar university alone."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan realized that the "Heavenly Sword Unity" technique was only available on the exchange interface and had not yet been officially purchased.

After a brief silence, Su Yuan clicked "redeem" and then shoved the phone back into the girl's arms.

"Isn't this a coincidence? I also chose the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect."

Su Yuan shook his phone, tapped his finger, and directly redeemed the Demon-Slaying Scripture.

"What a coincidence! That's wonderful!"

Two excited blushes appeared on the girl's pretty face.

Su Yuan also wore a smile.

Just now, the "Demon-Slaying Scripture" and the "Ten Thousand Treasures Record" were almost equally important to him.

The former allows you to become stronger faster, while the latter allows you to make money faster.

On this almost level scale, a single feather could determine Su Yuan's choice, let alone the girl who has accompanied him all this time.

Let it be the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect.

Just think of it as infiltrating the enemy as an undercover agent.

Besides, weren't both Teacher Taibai and Chen Nuoyi's father graduates of this university?

They don't seem to be doing badly at all.
