Profit Stirs Hearts, a Transmigrator Performs Acrobatics
Li Qingwan looked at the high-ranking members of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect across the video, and her heart tightened.
Regardless of their status or cultivation level, these people stand at the pinnacle of the Eastern Desolation cultivation Immortal Realm. It's no wonder they're nervous in their presence.
Moreover, she was live-streaming her dance as the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect, which was indeed a loss of face for the sect.
Even if they were to remove her from her sainthood because of this, it would be perfectly reasonable.
But she couldn't bear to give up her position as a saintess.
It's not just a difference in social status, but also a disparity in resources for cultivating immortality.
Moreover, the success of this live stream was largely due to the influence of the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect.
She bowed to everyone and respectfully said, "Greetings, Sect Leader and Elders. May I ask what brings you here to instruct me?"
Jiang Mingyu's face darkened, and his tone became stern. "Li Qingwan! As the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect, you are not ambitious enough."
Instead, you've willingly degraded yourself to the point of livestreaming your dancing, severely damaging the reputation of my sect. Do you know your crime?
Seeing Jiang Mingyu adopt an accusing stance, Li Qingwan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly responded:
"Elder Jiang, in the Eastern Desolation today, everyone is already bound to the Fairness System; times have changed."
We're in a time of great competition, and everyone's trying to earn Energy Points. I'm just going with the flow and earning some Energy Points through live streaming.
This is no different from doing business and does not violate any sect rules. I wonder what crime this disciple has committed?"
Jiang Mingyu snorted coldly and said sharply, "Still dare to deny it? How many Energy Points did you earn by live-streaming your dance as a saintess? Tell the truth!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingwan's heart stirred slightly. Her gaze quickly swept over the expressions of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect's high-ranking members present, and she instantly made a plan.
The Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect is known for its business acumen, with its cultivation markets spread across various regions, and it has always been tolerant of those who engage in business.
This is why she dared to use business as an excuse to defend herself.
If she wants to retain her position as a saintess while continuing to earn Energy Points through live streaming, the safest approach right now is to truthfully disclose her earnings.
Only sufficiently astonishing profits can truly sway these sect leaders.
She immediately bowed and respectfully replied, "During that live stream just now, I earned a total of 85.3 billion Energy Points."
If the sect allows me to continue livestreaming, I am willing to hand over 50% of the profits to the sect.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Even the high-ranking members of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect, who were used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but gasp and their pupils shrank.
Can you really earn this much from just one live-streamed dance performance?
Such exorbitant profits are truly alarming.
The group exchanged glances and instantly reached a tacit understanding: this business indeed had great potential.
Jiang Mingyu cleared his throat, his expression softening slightly but his tone leaving no room for argument:
"Li Qingwan, it's good that you still care about your sect."
"But 50% is too little; 70% needs to be handed over. Furthermore, all future earnings from live streams will be subject to this 70% handover. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingwan couldn't help but curse the other party inwardly for being greedy. Seventy percent of the Energy Points she had worked so hard to earn were going to be taken away.
But now, when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.
She was unwilling to give up either the position of saintess or the opportunity to earn Energy Points by dancing live on stream.
Moreover, even if 70% is handed over, it's still more profitable than selling the system previously.
She suppressed her emotions and respectfully replied, "This disciple is willing to hand over 70% of the Energy Points earned from future live streams to the sect."
Upon hearing this, Wei Siyuan smiled, glanced at everyone present, and then said to Li Qingwan:
"Since you agree to hand over 70% of the Energy Points earned from the live stream to the sect, I will allow you to continue earning Energy Points through live streaming."
However, you need to remember two things: First, you must not let others know that you need to hand over 70% of your Energy Points for the time being;
Secondly, you are not allowed to reveal anything that you have obtained our permission for. Do you understand?
Upon hearing this, Li Qingwan inwardly cursed, thinking that this person was hypocritical and shameless, even more so than herself.
Although she could understand the intentions behind the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect's higher-ups' arrangement, she was still somewhat displeased.
But upon further reflection, he realized that obtaining the sect's tacit approval was already a great fortune, and he dared not ask for anything more. So he immediately bowed and replied:
"This disciple will obey the sect leader's orders! I will now hand over 70% of the Energy Points earned from this live stream to the sect. I'll take my leave now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately ended the video Microchat and began to hand over 70% of her Energy Points to the sect.
After doing all this, Li Qingwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although losing 70% of their profits was painful, at least they got through the sect's ordeal.
She currently has nearly 25.6 billion Energy Points.
With these Energy Points, one can use the Dao Comprehension Space to comprehend the Great Dao and help oneself quickly improve one's strength.
When he meets Su Wantang again in the future, he will be able to avenge his crushing defeat in the Immortal Immortal-Devil Secret Realm Arena.
At the same time, with Energy Points, she can open her Portable Daoist Sanctum.
This not only makes one's own situation safer, but also completely eliminates external interference during live broadcasts, leaving no worries whatsoever.
Having made up her mind, Li Qingwan no longer hesitated and immediately began to activate her Portable Daoist Sanctum.
On the other side, Chen Jie looked at the pedestrians coming and going with an exceptionally friendly smile on his face, his eyes as eager as if he were looking at God of Wealth, without the slightest arrogance.
If anyone who knew Chen Jie saw him looking like this, they probably wouldn't believe that the smiling man in front of them was the arrogant Chen Jie.
He expertly took out a steel knife and shouted loudly:
"Don't miss out! Today I'll show you a skill: cleaving a body with a knife without causing any harm."
As soon as he said this, the surrounding pedestrians stopped in their tracks and looked at Chen Jie with curiosity. In no time, they surrounded him.
As more and more people gathered, Chen Jie's lips curled into a smile.
This method was something he adapted from others' techniques of using Law Technique to perform acrobatics and attract crowds, and then modified it to suit his own style.
The first dozen or so trials were very successful, each time stunning ordinary people, and this momentum was used to promote the system.
Doing so would be a disgrace to the former number one prodigy of the Heavenly Artifact Realm.
He had long since stopped caring about it.
As long as I can earn Energy Points, losing this bit of face is nothing.
Anyway, this wasn't the first time he'd embarrassed himself since he transmigrated to the Azure Billows Realm.
"Look closely, everyone! This knife is the real deal, incredibly sharp, absolutely no fakes."
As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and the steel knife cleaved straight down at the stone on the ground. With a crisp "crack," the stone was split in two on the spot.
The onlookers, seeing the stone cut in two with a single stroke, nodded in agreement, completely believing his words.
Seeing that even more people were gathering, Chen Jie immediately raised his voice:
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully. Next, I'm going to use this knife to cut my own body, and I guarantee I won't get hurt at all."
Before he finished speaking, he had already swung his knife down on his own arm and torso.
A series of clanging metal sounds rang out, Mars flew, but there wasn't a single scratch on his body.
Finally, he exerted even more force, breaking the steel knife into two pieces.
