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

Chapter 227 The Saintess Has Become a Demon!
Su Yuan kept his word and shut down the alchemy, weapon-making, and roast meat factories in less than a day.

The eight puppet performers under Yuanshi Media were also thrown into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool for nurturing.

The only departments of the Yuan Sect that can still function normally are the affiliated sect, the Black Labor Sect, and the artificial refining of genuine three-stage golden pills.

"Holy Maiden, is the Yuan Sect factory's rectification going well?"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi accompanied Zhu Tianqing as they walked through the mostly closed alchemy factory.

As far as the eye could see, there were only middle-aged alchemists using spiritual plants to refine pills as usual.

Zhu Tianqing glanced at the middle-aged alchemist, who was drenched in sweat from the intense heat of the alchemical fire, and said nothing, only asking:

"What happened to the workers on the meat and blood production line?"

Su Yuan quickly replied:

"I've asked them to wait in the factory lobby. I'll take you there now."

With that, Su Yuan led the way, and the three of them soon arrived at the factory hall.

Nearly a thousand workers gathered in the hall.

After Zhu Tianqing appeared, the workers merely glanced at the pure and innocent girl with a numb and helpless expression, and then did nothing more.

Stunning looks? A pure and noble heart?
Can these things be eaten as food?
Zhu Tianqing, unaware that the workers were subtly disliking her, said gently:

"Everyone, you have all worked in the flesh and blood factory of the Yuan Cult."

"When you were dismembering spirit beasts and using their bodies to refine pills and forge weapons, did you have absolutely no compassion?"

The workers looked at each other and fell silent.

Su Yuan immediately stood up and said righteously and sternly:

"Don't just stand there! The Holy Maiden is teaching you!"

"How can a human being be the head of all creatures if he has no compassion?"

"I'm ordering the entire factory to shut down and sending you back indefinitely to reflect on your actions. I'm not harming you, I'm saving you!"

"Don't tell me what to do if you don't get paid. If you don't get paid, does that mean you can't eat meat?"

"Vegetarian food is cheap, and you can live a good life even if you eat vegetarian food."

Zhu Tianqing said softly:
“Su Yuan, don’t be too harsh on them. Not everyone is as ideologically aware as you.”

"I believe that once the workers go home and reflect on their actions, and eat vegetarian food for a few days, they will understand that all things have a spirit and that life is precious."

“What the Holy Maiden says is very true.”

Su Yuan hurriedly agreed, then turned around and said sternly:

"What are you standing there for? Get home right now and reflect on your actions!"

"During this period, you should not think about finding any other work that involves the flesh and blood of spirit beasts."

"Otherwise, if I find out, I will definitely deal with it seriously."

The workers remained silent and obediently left.

The hall was completely empty; thousands of job opportunities vanished just like that because of Zhu Tianqing's words.

Su Yuan turned to look at Zhu Tianqing, his Demon-Revealing Eyes flickering slightly.

He could see with absolute clarity that a large amount of demonic energy was surging from Zhu Tianqing's body, but she herself was completely unaware of it.

This is the consequence of the other side forcing thousands of workers to resign.

In the dog system, or in the judgment of worldly rules, there are two criteria for the birth of demonic energy.

First, committing acts that are intolerable to Heaven and Earth, such as slaughtering spirit beasts and using evil magic, all fall into this category.

The second is persecuting sentient beings. Whether intentional or unintentional, if someone suffers a tragedy because of you, then this is a standard act of evil.

The Holy Maiden's behavior just now was as perfect as could be.

Behind thousands of workers are thousands of families, and thousands of people have lost their livelihoods because of her. Isn't that evil enough?
However, Su Yuan did not intend to remind the other party.

Why should we remind you?

Although Zhu Tianqing is certified by the dog system as one of the top five Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators in the world, she actually doesn't have much demonic energy.

Without demonic energy, what can Su Yuan absorb?
Therefore, my next move, besides using Zhu Tianqing, is to make this girl cultivate a vast amount of demonic energy without her knowing anything, so that I can absorb it.

As for guiding Zhu Tianqing into demonic possession, will it attract the attention of those with ulterior motives?
simple!
Zhu Tianqing generates a little bit of demonic energy, and he absorbs it; no one can detect it.

With a thought, Su Yuan slowly activated the Demon-Slaying Scripture.

He absorbed the pure demonic energy emanating from Zhu Tianqing little by little.

His altar-like foundation became increasingly profound.

The Senluo Spirit Root, rooted within the altar, seemed to have absorbed some kind of elixir; its canopy swayed slightly, rejoicing. On the surface, Su Yuan asked with a sincere expression:

"Holy Maiden, do you see any other areas that need to be corrected?"

Zhu Tianqing said slowly:

"The flesh and blood factory has been almost completely rectified, but it seems that the spirit beast breeding base should also be tidied up."

Su Yuan said with a bitter face:
“Holy Maiden, I also want to give the spirit beasts a home, but the Yuan Sect’s funds are really stretched thin.”

"We no longer have the funds to acquire more land for the construction of a spirit beast breeding base."

Zhu Tianqing lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then her beautiful eyes lit up:
"How about we just release all the spirit beasts back into the wild?"

"If we release them all back into the wild, won't the breeding center's expenses be eliminated?"

Su Yuan: "..."

However, after only three seconds of silence, Su Yuan immediately said to Chen Nuoyi:

"Noyi, listen to the Holy Maiden! Release all the spirit beasts!"

Chen Nuoyi was stunned when she heard this.

She hesitated and said:

"Where...where should we release the spirit beasts? And if we release them, what will happen to our spirit beast business..."

Su Yuan shook his head and said:

"I'm not trying to be mean, Nuoyi, but your awareness as an ambassador for transgender equality really needs improvement."

"What kind of time is this to worry about the spirit beast business? Can money compare to living beings?"

"Listen to me, let the spirit beasts from the mountains return to the mountains, let the spirit beasts from the rivers return to the rivers, and find good places for the flying spirit beasts to live by the mountains and rivers, so that they can live freely."

"Make this call now and have this air transport company move the spirit beasts away."

As he spoke, Su Yuan quickly wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Nuoyi.

The girl looked down and suddenly realized.

Because this phone number doesn't belong to the air freight company at all, but to Song Shan, an illegal worker.

So, you're using the tactic of feigning an attack on one side while secretly advancing on another, right?

They kept saying they wanted to release the spirit beast, but in reality they planned to have Song Shan and his men intercept it halfway, leaving the spirit beast stranded outside, waiting for the right time.

wonderful!
Chen Nuoyi didn't say much and went to make a phone call in a distance.

After all this, Zhu Tianqing's gaze towards Su Yuan became much kinder.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuan said with a serious expression:

"Holy Maiden, to be honest, the shady dealings in the spirit beast business of Taihua City aren't limited to my Yuan Sect alone!"

"I have spent many years wandering in the darkness and have seen many places where demons are tortured."

"What? Tell me more about it."

Zhu Tianqing's beautiful eyes suddenly condensed.

She arrived in Taihua City not long ago, only a week before Su Yuan left the pass.

During this week, apart from her usual promotion of the concept of equality between humans and transgender people, Zhu Tianqing's attention was drawn to the Yuan Cult.

As for the other demon-slaying sects, she hadn't really paid much attention to them.

Su Yuan said in a deep voice:

“I once visited a spirit beast breeding farm. Holy Maiden, do you know how cramped the living space is for the spirit beasts in the farm?”

"Only fifteen square meters!"

"Fifteen square meters?!"

Zhu Tianqing gasped.

Su Yuan said slowly:
"Listen to me, it's not one spirit beast, but three."

This time, Zhu Tianqing was completely flustered.

She said with a shocked expression:

"My dining table is more than 15 square meters, how could it possibly accommodate three spirit beasts?"

"I thought the spirit beasts in your breeding base were already suffering enough, but I never imagined there was a demonic cult far more evil than yours!"

"Take me to see this quickly! I can't stand idly by and do nothing about this!"
