Keeping Up with the Times, Demons and Monsters Gather

Li Jingming's words plunged the room into silence.

The high-ranking members of the Shennong Sect exchanged surprised and suspicious glances, their expressions varying.

They had considered earning Energy Points Energy Points live streaming, but they were always somewhat reluctant to do so.

"I think this is a good idea." Deng Qiquan was the first to break the silence, nodding in agreement.

"Live streaming won't interfere with our research, and we can even earn some extra Energy Points. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"

Cui Hua immediately shook his head in objection. "That's not appropriate! We are engaged in breeding research, and we should focus on improving our own technology."

We can't be like those social media influencers who only know how to please the audience for Energy Points.

Li Jingming gently shook his head and explained, "We don't want to become those kinds of internet celebrities."

We can teach crop cultivation knowledge via live stream, just like many people in the cultivation Immortal Realm publicly teach the methods of weapon crafting and alchemy.

Cui Hua immediately retorted, "Instead of spending time live streaming, you should focus on improving your cultivation. Only when your cultivation is high enough can you truly protect the sect and your research results."

So that when facing various forces, they wouldn't be forced to teach the methods of cultivating special spirit beasts, just like the Beast Breeding Sect.

Besides, our Shennong Sect isn't short of Energy Points; it's not worth doing something so degrading for such a small benefit.

These words immediately silenced the room; this was a disgrace to the Shennong Sect.

They had joined forces with the Beast Breeding Sect and finally managed to cultivate a special spirit beast.

However, due to the sect's insufficient strength, it was forced to hand over the cultivation method in the face of pressure from various forces.

Although they were charged some fees, it remained a disgrace in their hearts.

Li Jingming looked at Cui Hua and said, "Elder Cui, in this era, you only have power if you have Energy Points."

Only by earning Energy Points can we quickly improve our cultivation level and even seek Longevity.

Earning Energy Points through live streaming is neither shameful nor degrading; rather, it's in line with the times.

"Look at those elders, saintesses, and fairies in the cultivation Immortal Realm; they're willing to do live streams for Energy Points, so why can't we?"

Deng Qiquan chimed in, "Gentlemen, I think this matter shouldn't be forced."

Those who want to stream can stream, and those who want to focus on their research can focus on their research; the two don't conflict.

"Elder Deng's words make sense." Li Jingming changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"But we can't compare to Elder Wen's fame. If Elder Wen were to do a live stream, he would definitely receive a lot of donations."

Just like Li Qingwan, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect, who earned a large number of Energy Points every time she streamed, thanks to her status as a Holy Maiden, the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect also benefited.

Li Xuan, who had been silent all along, frowned, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Wen Ziqian:

"Elder Wen, what do you think? Ultimately, this matter depends on your own decision."

Wen Ziqian glanced around the hall and slowly spoke:

"Occasional live streaming is fine, but long-term live streaming will inevitably interfere with research."

Just like the Sun, Moon, and Stars Three Lights Spirit Rice I'm currently cultivating, it's almost successful. When it's ready, I'll hold a live stream to promote it in advance and help the Spirit Rice spread faster.

There's no need for that normally; it's more important to focus on improving your cultivation and skills.

After all, our Shennong Sect earns Energy Points through technology, not through live streaming.

Of course, if someone is willing to do a long-term live stream, that's fine too; it's mainly up to each individual's choice.

Li Xuan's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, and without further hesitation, he immediately made his decision:

"In today's world, even the best wine needs advertising, and we at the Shennong Sect should keep up with the times."

Going forward, those who wish to do live streaming can arrange it themselves, and those who want to focus on research can concentrate on their studies; the two can coexist without conflict.

However, there is one condition: 30% of the Energy Points earned from the live stream must be handed over to the sect for its development.

He paused briefly, then emphasized his words:

"Remember, the foundation of our Shennong Sect has always been technology. We must not put the cart before the horse. Improving cultivation techniques remains the top priority."

Furthermore, the sect plans to expand its product range beyond the existing spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, and spirit medicine.

At the same time, we will begin research and cultivation of spiritual fruits to broaden our foundation.

Furthermore, you must not slacken in your efforts to improve your cultivation.

Only when we are strong enough can we protect the results of our hard work and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Upon hearing this, the elders in the hall nodded in unison and replied, "We will obey the sect leader's order!"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Xuan's gaze fell on Wen Ziqian:

"Elder Wen, you will be in charge of our Shennong Sect's first live broadcast. You need to prepare in advance."

Wen Ziqian nodded and replied in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, rest assured, I will make proper arrangements."

Yin-Yang Ruins, on the outskirts of the Yin-Yang Plain.

Liu Yi's gaze swept across the area ahead, where he saw that no fewer than 100,000 Human Race cultivators and various demons and monsters had already gathered outside the plain.

These beings varied greatly in their cultivation levels, ranging from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and yet figures continued to arrive from all directions, continuously joining the crowd.

He looked up into the depths of the Yin-Yang Plain, where a black and white Yin-Yang Storm raged and surged like a mad dragon, sweeping across all directions with terrifying energy.

Only in the depths of the Yin-Yang Plain does a wisp of celestial light occasionally flash and disappear.

Looking at the dark, Sha Qi mass of demons and monsters before him, Little Yellow was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood on end. He instinctively clung tightly to Liu Yi's leg and sent a message in Microchat:

"Master, there are so many powerful guys, and their Sha Qi is almost solidified. It's terrifying!"

If Immortal Artifact really appears later, it will definitely cause chaos.

You absolutely mustn't try to steal it! No matter how good Immortal Artifact is, you still need to be alive to get it.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yi was speechless for a moment, then replied, "You're too timid. If you're really scared, go back to my Portable Daoist Sanctum."

Besides, I never said I was going to steal Immortal Artifact, so what are you worried about?"

Little Yellow quickly replied, "I don't want to go back to my Portable Daoist Sanctum. I'm just worried that you might get carried away and try to steal the Immortal Artifact."

Liu Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Let's go to that small mountain peak over there. Once the Yin-Yang Storm stops, we'll go into the Yin-Yang Plain to find treasures."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took flight and flew straight towards a small mountain peak not far away.

On the other side, Su Yuxuan looked at the demons and monsters outside the Yin-Yang Plain, whose lowest cultivation level was comparable to hers, and her body was already tense.

She never expected that the appearance of Immortal Artifact would attract so many top experts.

Once we enter the Yin-Yang Plain, the treasure hunt will likely become even more perilous.

She couldn't help but worry secretly, wondering if Liu Yi could hold on.

Just as she was feeling extremely confused, upon hearing Liu Yi's words, she immediately composed herself, and with a flash of inspiration, she hurriedly chased after him, closely following behind.

Liu Yi landed on a small hilltop, found a flat rock, sat down cross-legged, and then focused on three things at once:

While keeping an eye on any external developments;

While circulating the World Dao Body Cultivation Method, the cells within the body gradually evolve into World Seed;

While logging into the system, I browsed videos on TikTok) to see what major events had recently occurred.
