Chapter 345: Chapter 344: Eighth Elder_1

Lu Yang estimated that if Tao Yaoye joined the Nine Nether sect, the Master of Nine Nether sect would likely treat her like a saint or directly make her the Master.

This method of making money is much faster than Qin Haoran’s lending, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was a goldmine.

There’s no investment involved, so there’s no need to worry about losing any capital.

No need to hire actors, nor to shoot dozens of times, any illusion can be created at will, and needless to say, the special effects, they are as real as it gets.

If you’re subjected to an illusion technique during a fight, and you die in the illusion, then you really die. The illusionary world created by an illusion technique is even more real than reality.

There is also no need to worry about the plot. The events that happen in the Cultivation World every day can be used as material and with a little dramatization, it could turn into a movie, and if the plot is too long, it can be turned into a tv series.

Without going too far, Master’s storytelling of “Legend of the Dao Sect” could be used as a movie.

“It’s a great idea, but there are areas that need improvement.”

After some contemplation, Lu Yang pointed out the shortcomings of Tao Yaoye’s illusion technique.

“You realized that fighting techniques alone are not enough to attract people. Adding short plots is a good idea, but it’s still not enough.”

“An interesting plot should give people an exhilarating feeling, leaving a lasting impression after it ends, there should be foreshadowing and plot twists.”

“Mmmm.” Tao Yaoye kept nodding, Senior Brother was worthy of the name, he caught on fast, and was quick in his thinking.

“Currently, the plot is minor compared to how we are going to cast the illusion.”

Tao Yaoye was puzzled and confused: “But I can cast illusions myself.”

Lu Yang shook his head: “Of course you can cast it, but you can’t be casting illusions everywhere, you’ll tire yourself out.”

“As you said, if you want to make money this way, you will need to popularize it. To popularize it, you will need a more convenient way of casting illusions.”

“For example, talismans.”

“If my memory serves me, talismans are the most common carriers of illusion techniques.”

Tao Yaoye thought about who she could ask for advice: “When it comes to talismans… The Sect Leader is skilled in sword techniques, the Grand Elder in dream-making, the second elder in array methods, the third elder in body refinement, the fourth elder in the Confucianism Path, the fifth elder in refining, Master in cultivating immortal bodies, the seventh elder in refining pills, the eighth elder in swindling.”

“It seems that none of the elders are skilled in this. Should we ask other senior brothers and sisters for help?”

Lu Yang paused for a second, then couldn’t help but ask, “…Is it possible that apart from swindling, the Eighth Elder is also good at talismans?”

Despite the rumors that when Daoist Buyu joined the sect, he was brought up by the Eighth Elder, laying a solid foundation for Daoist Buyu to grow skewed.

Despite the time nine hundred years ago when the Eighth Elder scammed the Nine Nether sect until their treasury was emptied, leading the previous Master to commit suicide.

Despite the real questions that the Eighth Elder sold to Meng Jingzhou twenty years ago.

Despite the Fifth Elder adamantly not letting talisman cultivator Qin Yanyan learn talismans from the Eighth Elder for fear she might learn wrongly.

But it can’t be denied that the Eighth Elder is indeed a master of talismans.

“Discuss with the Eighth Elder, but to be on the safe side, it’s better to involve the Sixth Elder as well.” Lu Yang cautiously suggested, receiving agreement from Tao Yaoye.

…

At the top of the Dust-Free Peak, the breathtakingly beautiful Sixth Elder sat cross-legged. Under the influence of the Pure Immortal Body, the surrounding area became a vacuum zone.

She tried to confine the area of the Immortal Body’s influence. She found that the smaller the area, the stronger the repulsion. The best state is to let the realm of the Immortal Body adhere to the body surface, a thin layer. In this way, any attack can be resisted.

However, from the records, none of the past Pure Immortal Bodies have been able to achieve this state.

She sensed someone approaching from a distance, opened her beautiful eyes, and saw Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye.

“What brings you two here?” She asked them through her divine sense.

“Sorry for interrupting Master’s cultivation. The thing is, I have some new thoughts on illusion techniques recently…” Tao Yaoye explained in detail about her discussion with Lu Yang.

“The idea is good, and considering Old Eighth’s level at talismans, it should be easy for him to do.” The Sixth Elder also realized the business opportunity in Tao Yaoye’s idea and felt a touch of pride.

Tao Yaoye’s idea could make more money than the Ninth Junior Brother’s “Wish Granting Technique: Local Version”.

Look at that, this is the good disciple I taught!

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to him.” The Sixth Elder raised her hand and an odd energy enveloped Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye, taking them from the top of Dust-Free Peak directly to the nearby Rune Peak.

Rune Peak was the mountain under the Eighth Elder’s control.

The three of them landed. It was the first time that Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye visited Rune Peak. They found that there were runes everywhere, even on the leaves there were rune marks, the various plants made forms that looked like talismans.

“Old Eight, come out, I need your help!” The Sixth Elder sent a message to the Eighth Elder.

“Sister is looking for me?” The Eighth Elder walked out of his abode with a surprised expression. In his impression, Sister Six rarely asks for his help.

“Has someone tried to swindle you, sister, and you need me to swindle it back? I’m afraid this may not work out, I haven’t left the mountain to fool people for dozens of years.”

Lu Yang thought to himself, have you forgotten that you just swindled Meng Jingzhou a year and a half ago?

Tao Yaoye, not knowing of this, thought that the Eighth Elder had retired from swindling.

“However, rest assured, anyone who dares to swindle you, even if I don’t leave the mountain, I can send my disciples to swindle him till he doesn’t even have his underpants left!”

“I’m not like Ninth Junior Brother, I’ve been swindling for so many years, and I’ve never been caught!”

“Same goes for the disciples I’ve taught. They’re all reliable and won’t get caught by the officials!” The Eighth Elder assured confidently, highlighting his deep bond as a fellow disciple. When he was younger, he was taken care of by the Sixth Elder.

Lu Yang respected him, who would have thought that the Eighth Elder’s swindling skills were so advanced that he was never caught; even Master couldn’t match this!

It’s well known that Master could trick the Minister of Justice into jail.

It’s estimated that Master hasn’t been released yet.

Lu Yang had heard from Meng Jingzhou that ever since the Minister of Justice was put into jail in Goose County, the Ministry of Punishments moved their office to Goose County and safety there became unprecedentedly stable, without a single criminal case occurring.

The bad guys weren’t stupid, they’d clearly avoid committing a crime under the noses of the Ministry of Punishments.

They weren’t Daoist Buyu after all.

However, there were also consequences. Lu Yang heard from Meng Jingzhou that even for officials on leave, would visit the jail cell in Goose County for curiosity’s sake.

Under the guise of caring for their colleague.

While suggesting to the County Magistrate of Goose county to sentence Daoist Buyu to death.

The Sixth Elder gave the Eighth Elder a look, having been senior and junior for two thousand years, she knew exactly what kind of person the Eighth Elder was.

“Yes, indeed, you’ve never been caught. You always surrender yourself, arguing that it can mitigate the punishment.”

“And also, don’t think I don’t know why you don’t leave the sect, aren’t you waiting for the statute of limitations to pass?”

According to the Great Xia’s criminal law, if the time for the statute of limitations for a crime has passed, the criminal will no longer be held accountable for their crimes.
