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

Chapter 239 The Development Direction of the Yuan Sect

After carefully studying the rules for establishing a sect in the Ten Immortals City, Su Yuan frowned.

The rules do not impose any restrictions on the cultivation level of the sect leader.

Even the most prosperous city in the Blue Star Federation, Ten Immortals City, is not so extravagant as to impose a restriction on entrepreneurs that they must have the cultivation level of Golden Core.

For most small and medium-sized sects, having a Foundation Establishment cultivation level is sufficient for the sect leader or patriarch.

As a Foundation Establishment student of one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Su Yuan fully meets this requirement.

As for the qualifications to establish a sect, the Yuan Sect had already settled that when they were in Taihua City.

The Yuan Cult is absolutely legal and compliant, and is a demonic cult registered by the Blue Star Federation.

To set up headquarters in Shixian City, all you need is a suitable office location.

Although Su Yuan is not as wealthy as the people of Shixian City, he can still afford to rent an office space of several hundred square meters for the time being.

But the problem is... what's the point of renting just one floor of an office building?

This kind of sect looks like the kind that will definitely go bankrupt within three years.

When recruiting, applicants probably can't even find the entrance to their sect.

Su Yuan's goal is to become an affiliated sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects; he absolutely cannot just drift along like this.

After studying the scale and main business of many of the top ten affiliated sects, he roughly came up with three criteria for becoming one of the top ten affiliated sects.

First: It has its own core technology, and this technology can play an auxiliary role for one of the top ten immortal sects.

Second: The sect headquarters is located in Ten Immortals City.

Third: Achieve a leading level of technology in a specific sub-sector, with a market share exceeding 30%.

The first and second criteria, needless to say, are to ensure that affiliated sects possess sufficient core competitiveness so that they do not collapse so quickly.

However, the market share standard in the third clause left Su Yuan speechless.

The term "segmentation" can refer to the market share of a single product.

For example, selling toothbrushes and lighters doesn't require much technical skill to make.

However, achieving a market share of over 30% in this field is extremely difficult.

To grow a large enterprise, one must either rely on extreme cost control to achieve high sales volume, or possess core technologies that other competitors cannot match, and gradually build a reputation.

Su Yuan lacks the ability to achieve extreme cost control, has no core technology for making toothbrushes and lighters, and lacks the patience to build a reputation day after day for more than a decade.

Moreover, no matter how well this low-end manufacturing is done, it will not catch the eye of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Therefore, Su Yuan quickly realized that he absolutely could not get involved in an already mature industry.

He must find an emerging industry where he can utilize his core technologies and enter the market as soon as possible before the industry has developed, becoming a leader in the industry.

Only in this way can he meet the above three criteria within a few months and gain the opportunity to become an affiliated sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

This is not only for the tasks of the dog system, but also for the better development of the Yuan Cult.

The affiliated sects of the Ten Great Immortal Sects are like the supply chain manufacturers of Apple in the previous life. Once you connect with them, the market value will immediately soar, and there will be countless hidden benefits.

In the Blue Star Federation, which is essentially ruled by the Ten Great Immortal Sects, this situation is even more pronounced.

Many people even directly divide the sects below the Ten Great Immortal Sects into two categories.

One type is the affiliated sects of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and the other type is others.

How could the Yuan Cult develop without relying on powerful figures?
But here's the question: how do you find a promising emerging industry that can take off within months?

Su Yuan was truly at a loss.

Of all the businesses of the Yuan Cult, the one closest to the standards of emerging industries is actually the Crimson-faced White-bone Puppet.

This puppet is indeed the culmination of Su Yuan's various core technologies. The art of puppetry has many sub-fields.

There are sparring puppets, teaching puppets, and the ever-popular biology teacher puppets.

Which category does the "red-faced, white-boned puppet" fall into?
It is clearly the third type of 18+ puppet.

But here's the problem: while mass production of the Crimson Bone Puppet isn't difficult, should it be equipped with intelligence when it's mass-produced and sold?

Without intelligent features, how can a project costing over a million yuan compete with similar products?

If it were equipped with smart technology, it would probably face various moral condemnations.

Moreover, this kind of 18+ erotic industry has no connection with any of the top ten immortal sects!

"Tsk, I knew the Blue Star Federation's moral standards were a bit too high!"

"If the Joyful Union Sect also becomes one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, then the Yuan Sect can definitely become a strategic partner of the Joyful Union Sect!"

Su Yuan tossed his phone aside, lay sprawled on the bed, looking rather helpless.

Just as Su Yuan was at his wit's end, the dormitory doorbell suddenly rang.

Su Yuan waved the Myriad Souls Banner and remotely opened the electronic lock.

Then, a familiar sound of footsteps approached from afar, and the door to the room was suddenly flung open.

Su Yuan looked up and saw the white-haired loli pounce on him like a little tiger, crashing into his arms.

"Yu Xi, why aren't you staying in your room? What are you doing running around like this?"

Su Yuan patted the white-haired loli's little head.

Taibai Yuxi tilted her little face up and said mysteriously:

"Brother Su Yuan, there are quite a few evil demonic energy gathering places in Ten Immortals City. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He had witnessed Taibai Yuxi's ability to distinguish demonic energy more than once.

This girl must have lived in Shixian City with Teacher Taibai for quite some time; she's a true local.

How could the demonic energy within the Ten Immortals City escape her Demon-Slaying Eyes?
So, could I go back to my old ways and take over one or two illegal cults?
Perhaps these illegal cults contain undiscovered emerging technologies.

Upon realizing this, Su Yuan immediately sat up straight and readily agreed.

Then, he rode the Crimson Sword and left the apartment with the white-haired loli.

Guided by the latter, Su Yuan headed towards the Exorcism Zone.

The city of Shixian is simply divided into eleven districts.

Apart from the central residential area, the rest of the area was divided into ten sectors, each named after a university town it was closest to.

For example, Wanbao District, which is close to Wanbao University, and Xuanyi District, which is close to Xuanyi University.

The Demon Extermination District where Su Yuan is located is naturally the urban area close to Demon Extermination University.

The closer Su Yuan got to the Exorcism Zone, the more he discovered how fierce the atmosphere of the area was.

In residential areas, electric scooters and motorcycles were still quite common on the road, but after entering the Demon Extermination Zone, ground transportation decreased sharply, while sword-shaped vehicles showed an exponential increase.

Moreover, every sword cultivator who flew on a sword had an undeniable, domineering aura about them.

Various launch starts and street racing maneuvers with a sense of beauty that makes you feel like you'll get twelve points deducted if you get caught are constantly emerging, which secretly amazes Su Yuan.

Fortunately, Su Yuan himself was also a sword cultivator, so he didn't seem too out of place.
