Chapter 271: A New Plan, Cutting a Deal

Chapter 271: A New Plan, Cutting a Deal

The Divine Flower Society forum was now eerily quiet.

Previously, when the Blood-Robed Sword God had posted a message, it had caused a wave of discussion within the forum.

However, after the Blood-Robed Sword God was banned and his post disappeared, that wave had calmed down.

Currently, in a chat group named "Blood-Robed Sword God Fan Group," Foxhole Xiao Li was speaking passionately.

"What the Blood-Robed Sword God said must be true. The techniques we've been practicing are definitely toxic!"

This chat group was established under the guidance and suggestion of the Blood-Robed Sword God himself.

Now, about a hundred cultivators had joined.

This was the core group; there were more in other groups, but they hadn't passed the test to enter this one.

Currently, Foxhole Xiao Li had become the leader of the Blood-Robed Sword God's fans.

"Yes, what the Blood-Robed Sword God said must be true. Otherwise, how could his post disappear so mysteriously? And whenever someone asked about it, their posts would also disappear!"

"There are enemies within the Divine Flower Society, and they hold high positions!"

"Do you think... it could be the Grand Master himself?" a cultivator reasonably speculated.

The branch master of the Divine Flower Society in the Eastern Land had long been subdued by the Blood-Robed Sword God and would never dare to ban him.

There were only a few people with the authority and courage to ban the Blood-Robed Sword God.

"If it really is him, then we're in big trouble!" a cultivator exclaimed.

The Blood-Robed Sword God is indeed a senior Yin God, and among the Yin God Sovereigns, he is considered quite powerful.

However, compared to the Grand Master of the Divine Flower Society, a colossal figure, the Blood-Robed Sword God was still a junior.

"One of the seniors in my clan, a Yin God, once said that the gap between each level of the Yin God realm is even greater than the gap between major realms below the Yin God realm!

If the Blood-Robed Sword God has offended the Grand Master of the Divine Flower Society, he is in great danger!"

"Damn it, I can't get in touch with the Blood-Robed Sword God right now!"

"I hope the senior will be careful!"

"There are enemies in the Canglan Realm, and there are also villains in the Divine Flower Society. Only the Blood-Robed Sword God has a heart of pure gold!

All the bad people in the world are ganging up to bully the senior!"

"Unfortunately, I'm too useless to do anything for the senior!"

"Sigh, I feel so sorry for the senior. I wish I could take his pain for him. He's probably having a hard time right now."

"Does anyone have connections to get in touch with the Grand Master? We could apologize on behalf of the senior!"

"No, we can't bow to evil forces!"

Anyway, the group chat was filled with various concerns about Qi Yuan, with an air of fanatical devotion.

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Look! The Blood-Robed Sword God has reappeared!"

"What? The senior is back!"

"Ahhhh!"

The group members hurriedly logged into the forum to check the post by the Blood-Robed Sword God.

Foxhole Xiao Li also looked delighted and nervous.

She knew that the Blood-Robed Sword God being banned was a big deal, a very big deal.

A single misstep, and the Blood-Robed Sword God could fall into an irreparable situation.

At this moment, a post pinned to the top of the forum caught everyone's eyes.

[I, the Blood-Robed Sword God, killed the Grand Master of the Divine Flower Society in anger to lift my ban!]

"Some time ago, I revealed a big secret about the Canglan Realm here—the cultivation techniques are toxic.

As a result, I was banned.

I was furious.

Living in the Canglan Realm, every brother and sister in the Divine Flower Society has the right to speak!

I was banned, and I was resentful. After investigating, I found out it was that old dog, the Grand Master of the Divine Flower Society, who banned me.

I was very angry.

That old dog has sided with evil and committed atrocities. I couldn't stand it!

So, I raised the banner of justice and traveled thousands of miles to the Nether Sky Domain.

Many Yin Gods of the Nether Sky Domain colluded with the Grand Master.

Over thirty Yin Gods banded together; they betrayed their faith and served the darkness.

So, I fought alone and killed all these Yin Gods!

Justice triumphed over evil, and I can finally speak freely on the forum again.

By the way, today is Crazy Star... No, evil has not been completely eradicated yet. I need your support. Upload your techniques and help me defeat the Great Calamity!"

Qi Yuan wrote a lengthy post and felt very satisfied.

After posting, he waited for the comments to roll in.

"Did the senior really kill the Grand Master???"

"The tone of this post seems a bit off. Could it be a fake Blood-Robed Sword God?"

Qi Yuan saw this comment and was instantly enraged: "Nonsense, you're banned!"

Why couldn’t I have found this sooner?

Want to know how to play? Come help me out and give me a cut!"

Qi Yuan had already decided to be his own shill.

First, he would create a persona for himself.

Born into poverty, he worked hard; his senior brother bullied him, his elders didn’t favor him, and his goddess-like senior sister ignored him. The sect's deacon made things difficult.

But with the techniques he exchanged from the Divine Flower Society, he finally struck it rich, obtained Heaven-grade techniques, and won the admiration of the sect leader's daughter, his junior sister, and the favor of the elders!

From then on, he could share his experiences daily, which would surely stimulate many people to come and exchange techniques.

“There’s strength in numbers.

Back in my previous life, that online shopping platform became so popular.

With so many people in the Divine Flower Society, crowdfunding a divine technique shouldn't be a problem, right?”

After posting, Qi Yuan felt refreshed.

“Everything is set!”

In the Wind and Thunder Valley, Qi Yuan also gained quite a harvest.

First, he obtained the jade slip of the Grand Master of the Divine Flower Society; later, he collected a pile of techniques.

There were also many techniques in Dark Sun. Just counting the Heaven-grade techniques alone, Qi Yuan obtained hundreds.

There were even some upper Heaven-grade techniques.

Qi Yuan naturally added these techniques to the Origin God Sharing Society and the rewards for the Divine Flower Society.

Even if the Yin Gods went all out, gathering their clan’s strength, and frantically inviting people to cut a deal to push their progress bar to 100%, he would say, "Sorry, there’s still 1,000% above 100%."

“It’s time to leave.”

After setting everything up, Qi Yuan left the Wind and Thunder Valley.

...

Shenguang Sect, Seven Colors Peak.

Jiang Lingsu took a sip of fish soup and burped in satisfaction.

“I can’t eat any more. I need to watch my weight and figure!”

After diligently cultivating, Jiang Lingsu finally reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even in her family, she was considered to be progressing fast.

“I wonder how Senior Brother is doing now?” Jiang Lingsu thought of Qi Yuan, missing him deeply.

Today, her family had contacted her through Sister Jiang Ya.

The content of the contact was simple—just persuading her to return home.

After all, to the Jiang family, the Shenguang Sect was just a small sect, and Jiang Lingsu, being a direct descendant, would certainly receive better guidance at home than at the Shenguang Sect.

The Jiang family urged Jiang Lingsu to return.

Not only that, they had thoughtfully selected a low-born but handsome and highly talented... husband for her.

That’s right, someone who would marry into the Jiang family.

It showed just how much the Jiang family cherished Jiang Lingsu.

The Jiang family said that the young man was exceptionally handsome, highly talented, and was expected to reach the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years. He even had a slight chance of becoming a Purple Mansion cultivator!

Jiang Lingsu flatly refused and added, “My Senior Brother has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and that guy isn't even worth one of my Senior Brother's leg hairs!”

This upset her father greatly.

His daughter was only sixteen years old, but her Senior Brother was already a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In a small place like the Great Shang Kingdom, which Nascent Soul cultivator wasn’t a nearly thousand-year-old old man?

Listening to his daughter’s tone, it seemed like she had a favorable impression of this Senior Brother.

How could Jiang Zhihua not be furious?

He was still a handsome young man of just over three hundred years old, and now some thousand-year-old old monster wanted to take his daughter away? How could he not be furious, heading straight to the Great Shang Kingdom in the middle of the night!

After all, he was already a century-old Golden Core cultivator when he married his younger martial sister, who had just started her cultivation journey.

His daughter's Senior Brother probably had the same idea.

He was determined to teach that old fox a lesson!

Currently, Jiang Ruhua was on his way to the Great Shang Kingdom.

No longer thinking about these things, Jiang Lingsu sent her consciousness into the Divine Flower Society's jade slip.

Her expression immediately changed.

“Divine techniques?”

She looked at the overall progress bar showing 1%, feeling indifferent.

Divine techniques were too far out of her reach.

Her interest lay in her personal progress bar.

“If I exchange for a technique and give it to Senior Brother, he will surely be pleased!”

Moreover, donating techniques and earning rewards felt great.

But in the next moment, she saw a post, and her expression changed.

[Brothers, I exchanged another technique!]
