Immortal Book, Just How Far Did You See That Day?

"Hehe... You must spend a lot of time online, so you probably understand what I'm saying."

"Within this giant enterprise, the Fire Virtue will rise..."

"This means that soon, another Golden Core True Lord belonging to the Fire Virtue will emerge within this giant enterprise..."

Li Yelan looked at the astonished Lü Yuan with interest and said softly:

"And the attainment of this Golden Core True Lord will ensure that the Fire Virtue intention of the giant enterprise will remain prosperous for nearly a hundred years to come."

"This not only means that the Fire Virtue cultivators within the giant enterprise will briefly possess power approaching that of Earth Virtue cultivators."

"This also means that soon, a new Upper City will be established, and a new branch office will be set up for that person's enlightenment."

As Li Yelan spoke, she stretched out her other hand, which had been hovering in the air.

With both hands working together, she pinched Lü Yuan's cheeks, and for the first time, a smile appeared on her usually calm and aloof face.

He gazed at Lü Yuan, who had just emerged from his astonishment at the Immortal Book.

She asked, "So, do you know what this means?"

After silently marveling to himself, "The Immortal Book Master is truly a master strategist; I deserve to die for daring to doubt him before," Lü Yuan stopped staring blankly upon hearing this.

He was so overwhelmed by the weight of the news that he forgot he was still being treated like a toy by Li Yelan.

He immediately fell into deep thought.

Li Yelan had been frowning slightly, surprised that her faint smile had gone unnoticed by Lü Yuan.

There was a palpable disappointment.

However, she was soon drawn to the familiar expression on Lü Yuan's face as he fell into thought.

They slowly approached, almost touching.

Lü Yuan, however, was completely unaware of this, for he was deep in thought—

And they quickly provided an answer.

Because he genuinely knew how to answer that question.

"This means that the demand for Fire Virtue cultivators within large corporations will surge, potentially leading to increased job opportunities and more overtime."

Lü Yuan's eyes were unfocused, completely unaware of his own situation, and he simply answered by imitating the history of the giant companies he knew:

"And the prospects for advancement for Fire Virtue cultivators will be exceptionally bright during this period."

"Especially those who can reach the Purple Mansion, Two Divine Abilities or above."

"Although in the past this level of cultivation and education would have been almost completely unworthy of entering the various branches of the Upper City..."

"However, during this period, they would be boldly appointed, and there are even precedents of them being appointed to branch management positions based on their skills."

To enter a branch office under the jurisdiction of True Lord belonging to the Fire Virtue lineage, the most important requirement is naturally to be a cultivator practicing the Fire Virtue.

"Even Fire Virtue cultivators who haven't reached the Purple Mansion, Two Divine Abilities Power will be given priority for promotion in many positions outside the branch office."

After adding the last sentence, at this moment, Lü Yuan finally had a basic understanding of why the person in front of him valued him so much.

In this colossal enterprise, in this era where Earth Virtue people are superior, the number of Fire Virtue cultivators can be described as scarce.

Taking their graduating class as an example, in the entire Mingyang City, only Lü Yuan and Wang Yan chose the Fire Virtue lineage because of the Cultivation Method.

Yes, it was just the two of them.

Most others didn't care whether it suited them or not, and simply chose Earth Virtue.

Including Lin Qi.

A glimpse into a corner reveals the whole picture; the current state of the entire behemoth needs no further explanation.

At this time, the value of Lü Yuan, who possessed both Top-Grade Pseudo Spirit Root and the Fire Virtue lineage, is self-evident.

Because if he successfully completes his associate's degree to bachelor's degree program in the future, there is a high probability that he can directly enter the Upper City branch!

In comparison, Lü Yuan's value far surpasses that of his predecessor.

That's a chance to get into the Upper City branch!

It's no exaggeration to say that this was a meteoric rise that changed his social class. You have to understand that in his previous life Lin Qi never even started working at a branch office before he was killed.

What this represents is self-evident.

However, after the initial excitement subsided, Lü Yuan realized a problem:

"Given the current speed of my cultivation, is it theoretically possible for me to reach the Purple Mansion, Two Divine Abilities before the branch office's quota is filled?"

"That probably won't work..."

Lü Yuan pondered silently, "My predecessor spent over twenty years just to progress from Embryonic Breathing to Foundation Establishment."

"And then there's the time from high school to getting into junior college..."

"Theoretically, even someone with Top-Grade Pseudo Spirit Root would find it difficult to complete a bachelor's degree within a hundred years."

So, given this situation, and without revealing anything further...

Why does the person in front of me still have such high hopes for me?

Lü Yuan thought of the "Acting Method" that the two realms should be able to communicate with each other, and a guess began to form in his mind.

Could it be...?

But before his thoughts could fully form, Li Yelan's voice slowly came from beside him.

No, it's not just the sound--

After regaining his senses, Lü Yuan finally realized that her perfect face was almost touching his own.

Moreover, it kept slowly approaching, only stopping when its cheek was right next to its ear.

She asked, "Have you already thought of something?"

Wait... What does this mean? Does she really like me?

The series of unusual occurrences finally made Lü Yuan suspicious. He decided to go back and ask the Immortal Book to see if he could get an answer.

But we need to provide a reasonable explanation first.

Unconsciously touching the long hair that was falling around the corner of his mouth, Lü Yuan spoke softly:

"Based on the experience of the previous practitioner, given the current cultivation speed of ordinary people, it's unlikely they can keep up with the time required to upgrade their degree to a bachelor's degree."

"But you still place high hopes on me, so I dare to speculate: could the flourishing of the Fire Virtue increase my cultivation speed?"

Lü Yuan was certainly not foolish enough to ask directly about the "Acting Method," but instead used an ambiguous answer.

This way, you won't expose yourself, but you can still get the answers.

"So clever—" Li Yelan slowly turned around, placing a hand on Lü Yuan's shoulder. "Yes, you guessed right."

"Hehe... Lü Yuan, let me tell you a little secret that you shouldn't know now, and you can't tell anyone else later."

"In fact, the speed of cultivation can be rapidly increased by imitating the intentions of the corresponding Daoist True Lord within the giant enterprise."

Li Yelan straightened up and finally revealed what she wanted to tell Lü Yuan in advance.

"And within this giant enterprise, the True Lord who is about to attain enlightenment, the very essence and core image represented by his [Fruit Position] is 'struggle'—"

"Therefore, this means that as long as you win everything related to 'competition' from primary school to college..."

"Then your cultivation speed will increase rapidly, perhaps even far surpassing your previous Top-Grade Pseudo Spirit Root."

"This will greatly increase your chances of getting a job at the Upper City branch after you complete your associate's degree program."

Finally, during another eye contact with Lü Yuan tonight, Li Yelan looked at him and lied:

"And that is the value I place on you, and the reason I am willing to condescend to see you..."

In fact, Lü Yuan should be happy at this moment.

Because of this audience, all his doubts were answered, and he had no more Gu Lü.

Moreover, he finally found an explanation that could account for his cultivation speed without being doubted by others.

Either way, it's the best news imaginable.

But Lü Yuan was not happy at the moment, because his mind was completely focused on marveling at the power of the Immortal Book.

"Immortal Book, just how far did you see that day?"
