Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 271 The Predicament of the Flying Sword Sect

The sky is falling!
In just two and a half days, the time had passed so quickly that these sword-wielding sects hadn't even had time to react.

They were told that their product, which had been a bestseller in the Spirit Continent for tens of thousands of years, had been phased out?
In the battle between flying cars and flying swords on Douyin, flying swords have been completely defeated:

There are those who emphasize spaciousness and comfort:

[Stop being stubborn, you sword-wielding enthusiasts! Yesterday, I took my partner and kid on a spring outing, and the whole family was crammed onto one flying sword—I almost broke my kidneys! Today, in a fit of anger, I bought a Wuling Hongguang PLUS. The kid was gnawing on chicken feet in the back seat, my partner was taking selfies in the passenger seat, and I was smoking a cigarette while single-handedly steering the wheel—that's what you call cultivating immortality!]

Yeah, I used to think racing cars were nothing special, but now I can only say that you have to experience it to believe it.

[Can the flying sword supporters in the comments section please stop thinking about themselves? Why don't you bring your partner and child to choose together, and see if they prefer flying cars or flying swords?]

[While other families enjoy comfortable rides in flying cars, warm in winter and cool in summer, can you bear to watch your partner and child standing miserably behind your flying sword?]

There's also the fairy-like beauty regimen:
[Those who say the flying car is all show and no substance have clearly never experienced sunburn and peeling skin! This fairy has personally tested it, and the car's heat insulation film is far superior to ten layers of sunscreen. The fragrance system in the car refrigerator can even nourish your skin! I can't stand flying my sword under the scorching sun for a second!]

Which one did you buy, baby? The one I'm test driving doesn't seem to be working very well, but it's definitely less harmful to the skin from the sun than the Flying Sword model.

[You can get the heat insulation film installed at a 4S shop. The fragrance system is only available on cars priced above 500,000 RMB, and only on the high-end version. After using the fragrance, you can buy La Mer facial mist spray at the Black Swan yellow car store to refill it.]

"Well?"

So this is ah.

The female cultivator, who was test driving with her Daoist partner, suddenly felt that the Lingdu she had initially liked was just so-so, and couldn't help but ask the salesperson in the passenger seat.

Which car models here come with a fragrance system?

Besides.

There are also those who advocate for lavish diets and those who advocate for raising daughters in luxury:
[I just got a replacement subsidy for my ancestral flying sword, and then took out a loan to buy a Panamera on a 200-year installment plan! When I was driving around with the neighbor's peak master's wife in the passenger seat, her husband was chasing after us on his sword, looking really pathetic.]

[Hahaha, no need for the Panamera, I'll just take out a loan and go for 718. And you know what? I've already managed to get that junior sister from the sect who always had a crush on my senior brother to go out with me, hehehe]

Forget about the 718 shopping festival, my Mercedes-Benz C-Class would be a breeze to buy. Those clueless ladies all think my Mercedes costs seven or eight hundred thousand, or even a million.

[You know what, my daughter also likes the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. She says she likes its interior. I originally thought this car wasn't very cost-effective, but you guys are such good-for-nothings that I had no choice but to buy her one.]

Yes, we should raise daughters with plenty and sons with frugality. What if our daughter hasn't seen many nice cars before? She might actually be fooled by the Mercedes C-Class owner.

These fathers' words have been an inspiration to every father with a daughter.

I have to buy my daughter a car so she won't get taken advantage of!
There are also those who expose old secrets:
[Does anyone in the family understand? Master said that flying on a sword is the romance of sword cultivators, but the sect bought twenty Toyota Coaster buses to serve as commuter shuttles!]

[I suggest investigating the Stubborn Sword Master Sect! I personally witnessed the Grand Elder of the Divine Sword Sect secretly test-driving a Lamborghini. When he returned, his robe was bulging with over a dozen car purchase contracts, and he even made the salesperson guarantee that the logo would be completely removed upon delivery.]

[Haha! I just picked up my car and already got robbed! When I pressed the SOS button, the rescue team that arrived turned out to be deliverymen who were also part-time rescuers! Now the robbers are being chased and hacked by twenty swordsmen! Oh, and they also said they'd work hard at their part-time jobs so they can get a flying car for delivery soon!]

[It is suggested that the Flying Sword Sect quickly transform itself! Learn from the neighboring Divine Sword Manor and switch to manufacturing car-mounted flying sword racks. Now, sword cultivators insert their natal flying swords into the sword slots on the car roof as luggage racks, preserving tradition while keeping up with the trend.]

I wipe?

The various sword-wielding sects were amazed by the Divine Sword Manor's actions.

Why didn't they think of that?
Looking at the trending topic on Douyin: "Flying swords exchanged for stainless steel washbasins".

The sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who had just emerged from seclusion, had already smoked dozens of packs of cigarettes, and the ashtray in front of him was piled up like a small mountain.

Finally, take a deep drag and stub out the half-smoked cigarette butt:

"This is outrageous! How can our sect's millennia-old sword-forging techniques be reduced to a mere car ornament?"

The elders below, their faces full of bitterness, began to offer their advice:

"Master, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect next door has transformed itself in just three days and is making a fortune selling [car ambient lighting]." "Spirit Sword Valley has transformed itself to sell [car air purifiers], claiming they're a substitute for fragrance systems, and the profits are exorbitant."

"There are also Flying Sword Sects that have directly switched to offering car washing, maintenance and modification services. Relying on their ancestral exquisite sword-forging techniques, the modified cars do indeed have excellent results."

As he spoke, the elder held up his phone to show everyone the photos inside:
They were all flying cars covered in brightly colored stickers, and the headlights and taillights could also be customized. They looked flashy and ostentatious.

The voice can also be changed.

Someone modified the sound of the Wuling Hongguang Mini to resemble the roar of a ferocious beast, similar to that of a luxury car worth tens of millions.

Some unconventional cultivators even modified the sound waves to resemble the sound of flying swords cutting through the air, which added a unique flavor to the experience.

Moreover, these sects all made a lot of money!

Not only is the cost many times cheaper than painstakingly building flying swords, but its retail price is also quite brutal.

"Sect Master, let's transform our business as well. We can't just give up spirit stones for the sake of our ancestors' legacy, can we?"

"Yes, Sect Master, our Heavenly Sword Sect is already struggling to pay salaries, why are you still worrying about such trivial matters?"

"That's right, the ancestors who ascended to the Immortal Realm might be mining somewhere."

"metropolitan!"

Even the most conservative of the elders, leaning unsteadily on his cane, came over:
"Our ancestors weren't wrong, but our family needs to keep up with the times. Sales were already plummeting because there were fewer battles among cultivators, and now even the 'travel tool' attribute has been removed. It's not wrong to think of change when you're in dire need!"

"This"

After glancing at the sect's account balance, the Heavenly Sword Venerable could only helplessly accept the reality before him.
"Then tell me, how should we transform our business? Should we make flying sword supports?"

"No, Shenjian Manor has already entered this industry and made a name for itself. Moreover, their supply chain is relatively mature, which allows them to keep costs very low. We are not competitive."

"Oh."

The Heavenly Sword Venerable nodded thoughtfully:

"So, if we do something that others have already done, there's no profit to be made, right?"

"It's not that there's no profit at all, but earning too little and going through too much trouble is not worthwhile."

"Then let's do it."

Seeing the overflowing ashtrays in front of him, the Heavenly Sword Venerable's eyes lit up:
"We can make car ashtrays!"

"This was already created by someone when flying cars first came out."

"A large car stereo!"

"Someone tried it, but the results weren't great. The original car audio system has very high sound quality. For example, some high-end models, like Mercedes-Benz with Burmester and BMW with Harman Kardon, have high-quality sound. How can your cheap, no-name speakers compare to those?"

"Then let's add a high-powered formation to the flying car!"

"Someone has done it too."

"Make hot pot! You can put a hot pot cooking set in the back seat! Primarily targeting family travel routes!"

"Uh, Sect Master, we've been exposed too."

"A baby car seat! I refuse to believe I have such a forward-thinking idea!"

“There are some sect leaders, and of course, there are more than one person with such forward-thinking ideas as you.”
