Gu Yuan spent some energy to shift his perspective onto the chief director.
Since he wanted a god's-eye view, there was no better candidate than him.
"Shen Yunfei is still comprehending the Dao? Is something wrong with that kid's brain? He still hasn't given up after all this time."
The director seated before Screen Six looked at Shen Yunfei, who was sitting cross-legged on the screen and nearly fainting, and could not help commenting.
There were only two "transmigrators" in the entire Azure Mountain Sect.
Lin Hao was one, and Shen Yunfei was another. Otherwise, what idiot would spend days and nights continuously comprehending the Dao before some inexplicable stone wall?
At least Lin Hao was smart enough to fake the appearance of having gained enlightenment.
Shen Yunfei, on the other hand, was genuinely stubborn!
"Director, there's nothing we can do. We sent several actors to persuade him, but he just wouldn't listen. He said that he would never be inferior to anyone in his life."
The staff member beside him explained helplessly.
"That's right, blame Lin Hao."
"Yes."
The staff of Production Team Six chimed in. The other livestreams all had more viewers than theirs, and if this continued, their pay would be docked. They could only shift the blame.
"I don't want explanations. Remove him by force and move on to the next plot."
Holding a walkie-talkie, the director of Livestream Six issued the order.
The chief director said nothing and did not interfere with their actions. He simply scrolled through the feeds from the various livestreams and watched the comments.
Azure Mountain Sect.
Outer Sect Dormitories.
After returning from the elder, Lin Hao cultivated for two hours and had already developed a sense of qi within his body. If he took another step forward, he would be able to break through to the initial stage of Qi Refining.
Even so, he was extremely happy.
Having a sense of qi meant he still had some talent. If he worked harder, Foundation Establishment might be within reach in the future. Perhaps he might even become an immortal someday.
"Is Brother Lin Hao here?"
"Brother Lin Hao."
Outside the dormitory, a woman's voice rang out at some point, calling Lin Hao's name.
Who's calling me?
The cross-legged Lin Hao froze slightly and listened carefully to what the voice was saying.
Brother Lin Hao?
Looking for me?
That can't be right. I transmigrated here, so where would I get a little sister?
Shaking his head, Lin Hao ignored the voice outside. Perhaps it was someone from the same sect who happened to share his surname.
"Production Team Three: Female lead, change the way you call out to him. Make Lin Hao's identity clearer."
Outside the dormitory area.
The female lead, Jin Ling'er, listened to the voice in her ear and felt rather speechless.
Even that didn't work?
"Is Brother Lin Hao from Dormitory 03 here?"
"Brother Lin Hao, who left the Disciple Hall not long ago."
Inside the dormitory.
Lin Hao heard Jin Ling'er's voice again.
Number 03?
Just came out of the Disciple Hall?
What kind of way is that to call for someone?
So she really is looking for me.
Filled with confusion, Lin Hao rose from the floor, pushed open the door, and looked at the woman outside the dormitory.
She wore a long white robe. Her skin was fair, her features delicate, and she appeared to be around twenty years old.
I don't know her.
Why is she looking for me?
"Brother Lin Hao, you really joined the Azure Mountain Sect!"
The instant she saw Lin Hao, a trace of delight flashed across Jin Ling'er's face, her eyes sparkling like stars.
What incredible acting!
"You are...?"
Lin Hao hesitated as he looked at the woman before him, unsure what to say.
Someone I know?
Impossible. I transmigrated here.
"Ah? It's actually Jin Ling'er, an inner sect personal disciple! She came here?"
"What? She's Jin Ling'er? Jin Ling'er, who was personally invited into the sect by an elder and directly made a personal disciple?"
"That's her! She's one of heaven's favored!"
"Who is Lin Hao? How could he make Senior Sister Jin Ling'er call him brother?"
As Lin Hao hesitated, disciples from the other dormitories poked their heads out and began discussing the matter.
They spoke loudly enough that Lin Hao could not avoid hearing them.
An inner sect personal disciple!
Jin Ling'er?
But I don't know her.
Could I have transmigrated into someone from her past?
"May I ask who you are...? I was attacked by bandits while traveling earlier, so I can't remember much. Fortunately, a kind person saved me."
Lin Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a moment, continued.
Amnesia!
That was a good solution.
"What? Brother Lin Hao lost his memory? What bandits dared to hurt Brother Lin Hao? I'll make them wish they were dead!"
Jin Ling'er looked indignant, and in the end, fury rose within her.
In an instant, a mysterious force seemed to emanate from her body and spread in all directions.
The disciples who had been watching the show were immediately knocked to the ground, wailing in pain.
Only Lin Hao remained standing where he was, with no idea what had happened.
They all fell?
What happened?
Is this the power of cultivation?
"Wait, I remember that Senior Brother Yi Changge, an inner sect personal disciple, is pursuing Senior Sister Jin Ling'er. If Senior Brother Yi learns about this, Lin Hao will probably..."
"That's right. There were so many rumors before that I thought Senior Brother Yi and Senior Sister Jin were going to become Dao companions."
"A mere outer sect disciple dares compete with Senior Brother Yi? He's courting death."
"But I think Senior Sister Jin is more..."
Good grief. Even though they were sprawled on the ground, these people still would not shut up. They did not even lower their voices, allowing Lin Hao to hear every word clearly.
This was more like it.
Gu Yuan had arrived at the scene firsthand and watched the story between Lin Hao and Jin Ling'er unfold.
He had to admit, this plot was practically identical to the novels he had read in his previous life.
The directors and actors had clearly put in effort.
Jin Ling'er's attack was just a little fake. There was not even a gust of wind around her, yet these disciples fell over.
Could the props department put some thought into this?
The next part of the story was Jin Ling'er pulling Lin Hao away to be alone together, where they discussed stories from their past.
In short, it was a childhood sweethearts plot.
Both their families had been influential clans in some city, and they had been close since childhood. Jin Ling'er had been taken away by an Azure Mountain Sect elder, while Lin Hao had not wanted to remain alone and set off by himself for the Azure Mountain Sect.
"I can't remember anything now. I'm sorry."
Lin Hao was clearly restrained, speaking with a troubled expression.
"It's all right. I'll wait for Brother Lin Hao to recover his memories."
Jin Ling'er's gaze was resolute as she threw herself into Lin Hao's arms.
Lin Hao did not know whether he should embrace her or not.
The sight immediately filled the livestream viewers with envy, jealousy, and resentment, as all sorts of comments flew past.
The viewer count and comment volume rose rapidly.
It did not matter whether they were cursing, envying, or shipping the couple.
Combined with Lin Hao pretending that he had comprehended the cultivation method, it was even more different from the other livestreams.
The traffic kept climbing.
And that was exactly the result the production team wanted.
Was there enough energy for the Qi Refining Formula's inheritance again?
Glancing at the highly dedicated Jin Ling'er, Gu Yuan transmitted the Qi Refining Formula into her mind.
In an instant, Jin Ling'er, who was deeply immersed in her role, trembled all over.
No one saw the change in her eyes.
It appeared out of nowhere?
The Qi Refining Formula?
This is... a real cultivation technique!
It appeared out of nowhere!
Fortunately, her acting skills were professional enough for her to instantly adjust her emotions.
