What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 633 Reincarnation Group
Do you believe in reincarnation?

This was the first question Kuang Tianqing asked Dao Qiankun after they met that night.

Faced with Kuang Tianqing's question, Dao Qiankun simply smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked curiously, "Oh? Asking me this question on the last night before the competition, did you meet a reincarnated person?"

Kuang Tianqing crossed his arms, his long hair swaying in the wind, and said casually, "I was just thinking... if the legends about reincarnation are true, then what impact will the promotion of life-extending technology have?"

Dao Qiankun came to the window, looked at the moon in the sky, and said calmly, "In this world, even if there is reincarnation, this reincarnation will inevitably be under the control of the immortals."

"If everyone is under the control of immortals, then how they reincarnate, how long they live... that becomes a matter of profit, a matter of governance for Kunxu."

"In this assumption, the longer the lifespan, the fewer times a person is reincarnated, and the shorter the lifespan, the more times a person is reincarnated. From the most extreme case of universal immortality to the other extreme of universal death, different directions of development all stem from the setting of the average lifespan."

"How long one lives and how often one is reincarnated will determine the interests of all parties, and even more so, the direction of Kunxu's development in immortal cultivation techniques..."

Hearing what Dao Qiankun said, Kuang Tianqing's gaze narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "You're right, so if there is reincarnation, then there will be a Reincarnation Group."

"The Reincarnation Group will not allow the average lifespan of the entire society to increase easily."

Kuang Tianqing came to stand in front of Dao Qiankun, his eyes fixed on him as if trying to see through everything about him.

Kuang Tianqing: "If the Samsara Group exists, it will definitely suppress the promotion of life-extending technology in every possible way."

Dao Qiankun looked calmly at Kuang Tianqing: "Perhaps."

Kuang Tianqing continued to stare at the other party and said, "The Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Four Schools of Myriad Laws have not yet agreed to the acquisition and promotion of life-extending technology. Is it because they have taken into account the existence of reincarnation?"

Dao Qiankun looked directly at her and said, "Do you want to ask if the Samsara Group is supporting me?"

"Kuang Tianqing, you're taking this too seriously. What we just talked about was just hypothetical. Whether reincarnation exists or not... who can say for sure?"

“You can find out the source of my wealth, and you should know exactly who supports me.”

Kuang Tianqing sneered: "Reincarnation is a taboo topic. Even if the Reincarnation Group really exists, it cannot be publicized at will. Therefore, if the Reincarnation Group wants to interfere in the world, it will never do so openly and honestly. It will always operate in the shadows, existing under various rumors and gossip."

Dao Qiankun did not directly address Kuang Tianqing's question, but suddenly said, "Do you know which immortal cultivation method the three Nascent Soul cultivators of Wanfa hope I will choose?"

Kuang Tianqing asked, "What kind of cultivation technique?"

Dao Qiankun said, "The Dharma Realm God created the chapter."

Kuang Tianqing's body trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The Dharma Realm?"

"Is this Wanfa University's choice? Or..."

"The choice of the Myriad Laws Sect?"

……

Inside the mourning hall.

Kuang Tianqing snapped out of his reverie from that night and turned his gaze back to the corpse of Dao Qiankun, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him.

She thought to herself, "Dao Qiankun, if you were really dead, you would be at peace, unlike me who is so exhausted right now."

"Do you know that after you died, I have become the target of everyone's hatred, and if things go wrong, I will be doomed forever?"

Although at this moment everyone in the world seems to be supporting her, hoping that she will win the championship and select the immortal cultivation method to determine the future direction of the world.

With this level of attention, the support, security, and other conditions surrounding her have also increased significantly.

But Kuang Tianqing could feel as if she were being boiled in oil under a raging fire, and that if she wasn't careful, she would be pulverized.

Rubbing his increasingly painful temples, Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "Damn it... I have to get those old guys to give me more money."

While pondering, Kuang Tianqing began to walk back and forth around Dao Qiankun, as if observing something.

Zhang Yu, who was standing nearby, asked, "What are you looking for?"

Kuang Tianqing turned and glanced at Zhang Yu, asking, "Do you think Dao Qiankun is really dead?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Kuang Tianqing didn't miss any change in Zhang Yu's expression, and said, word by word, "Do you believe that he is the kind of person who would choose to commit suicide before the competition and give up his chance to participate?"

Zhang Yu frowned and said, "What are you trying to say? You think Brother Dao isn't dead? For you, whether he's dead or not, not being able to participate in the competition is a good thing, right? At least you can rest assured that you can extend the lives of everyone in the world."

Kuang Tianqing snorted coldly and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "So you're one of those who oppose extending lifespan for all? Do you think I don't know the downsides of extending lifespan? It reduces population mobility, decreases innovation, and makes the whole world more and more lifeless... but it's still much better than your Wanfa's choice."

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he said, "The choice of all laws? Do you know what that is?"

Kuang Tianqing smiled: "You don't know? Didn't Dao Qiankun tell you?" Zhang Yu's curiosity surged, and in order to get an answer from Kuang Tianqing, he deliberately said: "No matter what the choice of the myriad methods is, it's still better than prolonging life, right?"

But Kuang Tianqing didn't tell Zhang Yu what Wanfa's choice was. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "When the older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators live a few more years, you all say this is bad and that is bad."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators died and the new generation of Nascent Soul cultivators took over?"

Seeing Zhang Yu's blank expression, Kuang Tianqing pursed his lips and said, "You should read the Nascent Soul papers from the four Heavenly Demon Schools over the years, especially those papers from candidates for the Divine Transformation stage."

"Although if I were in their position, I probably would have made the same choice as them."

"After all, only by being more radical, generating more exorbitant profits, and maintaining growth can one gain the support of the Heavenly Demon Sect and become the next generation of Nascent Soul cultivator at Heavenly Demon University."

Kuang Tianqing sighed, "But from a student's perspective, if I had to choose a Nascent Soul cultivator, I would prefer that the older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators continue to live, at least they are not so radical."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "No... you've already turned into a woman and had eight Nascent Soul cultivators tutor you, isn't that radical? Just how radical can the Nascent Soul candidates from the Four Heavenly Demon Schools be?"

As Kuang Tianqing sensed the changes in Zhang Yu's expression and figure, as well as the fluctuations in his magical power and aura, various analytical results kept appearing in her eyes. She thought to herself, "This kid really seems to know nothing."

Seeing Kuang Tianqing start inspecting Dao Qiankun again, Zhang Yu quickly said, "What are you doing? I'll call for help if you keep messing around!"

While speaking, Zhang Yu took the opportunity to circle around behind Dao Qiankun, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with the corpse.

"Is everything alright?"

Standing behind Dao Qiankun with a hint of tension, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "That's right. If it were that easy to trigger something, the autopsy would have found out long ago."

Just then, Kuang Tianqing placed his palm on Dao Qiankun's shoulder.

The next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the corpse and said coldly, "Who dares disturb my peaceful sleep?"

Upon seeing the figure, Zhang Yu was startled and said, "Brother Dao?"

Kuang Tianqing looked at the figure in front of him and frowned, saying, "It doesn't seem to be the real Dao Qiankun."

The figure looked at Kuang Tianqing and said, "Who else could I be but Dao Qiankun?"

After exchanging a few words with the figure and examining it further, Kuang Tianqing said directly, "Hmph, it's just a spirit with some memories. It should appear when the corpse is touched. What a boring thing."

After checking and finding no clues, Kuang Tianqing left the mourning hall, leaving Zhang Yu staring at the spirit in front of him.

After exchanging a few words with the spirit, Zhang Yu realized that it only repeated the same things over and over again, and finding it boring, he went back to his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, the demon blood in Zhang Yu's body was completely refined, and his Demon Saint Transformation Technique was also upgraded to a higher level.

Although no secrets were found on Dao Qiankun's corpse, the Dao seed of "descendant of an immortal" reappeared, which strengthened Zhang Yu's determination to continue cultivating here.

So for the next few days, Zhang Yu spent his days acquiring demon blood while simultaneously cultivating the Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Nerve in the mourning hall, keeping Dao Qiankun's body company.

During this period, the Dao seed of "descendant of immortals" on the corpse appeared more and more frequently, from once a day to several times a day.

Zhang Yu had a gut feeling that as long as he continued to accompany him, he would eventually have the opportunity to replicate the Dao Seed.

As Zhang Yu purchased demon blood and maintained various magical artifacts and artifacts, his spirit coin balance steadily declined, quickly reaching the level of over 260 spirit coins.

"Next, I need to cultivate my Taoist arts to level 20, and continue purchasing demon blood. I also need to maintain my magical artifacts and artifact skeletons for the upcoming competitions. If the process of replicating the Taoist seed requires money, and if I need to modify my magical artifacts..."

Zhang Yu did a quick mental calculation and realized that although the amount of money he had seemed substantial, it was still not enough.

Especially if his goal is to win the championship, then he can never have too many spirit coins.

However, as the details and rules of the finals were revealed, the advertising fees changed significantly.

Although he could earn advertising fees for every battle that followed, the one-on-one format, the distribution of popularity, and the reduced duration all led to a decrease in Zhang Yu's advertising fees.

Especially in the one-on-one combat competitions, the audience paid more attention to the top-ranked contestants from each school, such as Kuang Tianqing, Yan Xiang, Tian Shenggong, and Cang Shenyu.

If Zhang Yu's previous battle with Ling Pojun hadn't generated a lot of buzz for Jihu, the advertising fees would probably have been reduced even further.

"The current agreement is that the company is willing to pay around 70 spirit coins for the next advertising session."

"I wish there were more."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering these things, Ye Xingli sent him a message.

Ye Xingli: Junior brother, aren't you planning to start a live stream?
Zhang Yu: What's wrong?
Ye Xingli: The number of Jihu fans who are cursing you has been increasing these past few days, which is a good opportunity for you to make money through live streaming.

Zhang Yu: But I am practicing cultivation.
Ye Xingli: Isn't making money the best form of spiritual practice? What kind of spiritual practice can be more effective than making money through live streaming?
