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

Chapter 357 Ascension Guinea Pig

Looking at the three aggressive holy masters.

Qin Wudi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Once you reach his level, you're not so easy to die, but the opponent is three Holy Lords!

If they really go all out, even if I survive, I will definitely pay an unimaginable price.

He himself had little confidence in the impending tribulation.

Wasting his trump card to escape at this point is basically tantamount to sentencing him to death, with no hope of becoming an immortal.

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

Jiang Chen finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He also planned to help Qin Wudi.

The reasons for this are difficult to explain in a short time.

But it would be a waste if such a being, who was about to undergo tribulation and was a Nine-Turn Loose Immortal who had already undergone physical transformation, were to simply pass away like this.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, a clear laugh suddenly came from the VIP seats.

"Gentlemen, please hear what I, Jiang, have to say."

Jiang Chen straightened his suit and tie, walked slowly to the center of the camera, and perfectly framed the Star Pattern Immortal Golden Coffin.

He gestured with his left hand to signal the holy masters to be patient, while his right hand had already taken the thermos cup handed to him by Huang Wansan.

"We need to look at this matter dialectically."

Jiang Chen blew away the foam and took a sip of tea:

"As an elder cultivator, it's understandable that Mr. Qin would become out of touch with the times after a thousand years of seclusion!"

Fu Yuechan frowned, unable to understand why Jiang Chen was speaking up for Qin Wudi:

"Mr. Jiang, he was just about to..."

"Eh--"

Jiang Chen raised his hand to interrupt, his official tone flowing smoothly:
“I completely understand the feelings of the Holy Master Yuechan, but we must be mindful of our methods and approaches when doing things, and we cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.”

"Elder Qin is, after all, a Ninth-Rank Loose Immortal, a precious treasure of the Spirit Qi Continent! I hope you understand?"

Li Wanyun sneered:
"So precious that you steal a junior's poem?"

"You can't say that."

Jiang Chen turned to face the live stream camera and suddenly raised his voice:
"We must recognize that Elder Qin has made contributions to the inheritance of Confucian and Taoist culture! Although his methods were flawed, his initial intentions were good!"

A chorus of coughs filled the air.

Aquaman's frantic writing suddenly paused, and the pen tip drew three thick lines under the five words "The initial intention was good".

What's so great about this?
Everyone stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief, wondering how he could turn black into white.

Everything has two sides.

After a pause, Jiang Chen coughed lightly and continued:

"If Elder Qin hadn't appeared and caused such a huge uproar, Confucianism and Taoism on the Spiritual Qi Continent would still be niche paths. Look at it now, don't you think?"

"Tomorrow's trending topics will definitely be dominated by Confucianism and Taoism. Don't worry about whether they're evil or not; isn't this a kind of alternative propaganda?"

Everyone:? ? ?
If that's what you're saying...

That's definitely a good idea!

"Hey."

Jiang Chen sighed, then adopted a more benevolent tone:

"I don't want to see any more conflict on the Spirit Continent. In my opinion, it would be better to have Elder Qin apologize and let's just let this matter drop."

Qin Wudi's scholar's robe fluttered without any wind.

He didn't understand who this guy who suddenly appeared was.

Moreover, it seems that even the Holy Lord is willing to give him face, but in any case, this person seems to be standing by his side.

Finally, Jiang Chen's words became increasingly outrageous, and he turned his gaze to the location of the nine academies.

"Fellow deans, please hear me out."

"Elder Qin, as a Ninth-Rank Loose Immortal, is a rare high-end talent in the Spirit Qi Continent!"

Jiang Chen raised his voice, and his hands unconsciously clenched:
“Our Wan San Group’s latest research shows that the ascension rate on the Spiritual Continent has been 0% in recent years. Shouldn’t we reflect on this?”

"And the Nine-Turn Loose Immortal is even more so."

"Since ancient times, the success rate of a Nine-Turn Loose Immortal in transcending the tribulation has been less than 10%, let alone in previous eras."

"But now, all races on our Spirit Qi Continent live in harmony and peace. Elder Qin's tribulation is not just his own affair, but the affair of all of us. We should all lend a helping hand."

The great scholars were all stunned.

its not right?
In recent years, isn't it popular to slack off and be ashamed of achieving success?

And there are no fools among us.

They knew in their hearts that the public opinion that ascension was shameful most likely originated from the Wan San Group.

of course.

This is a case of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive.

After all, Wan San Group didn't force you not to ascend; it's just that everyone generally felt that ascending was too low in cost-effectiveness.

The Great Vehicle Venerable felt that life after ascension would definitely not be as comfortable as it was on the Spirit Continent.

Neither their social status nor their daily entertainment activities could be better than they are now.

Lower-level cultivators, on the other hand, have a harder time.

But the prerequisite for ascension is to spend countless years cultivating to become a Mahayana Venerable, and that requires exceptional talent.

Otherwise, even if you work hard your whole life, you might end up stuck at the Nascent Soul stage. The sunk costs would be too high, and you might not be able to resist giving up cultivation.

Could it be that the winds have shifted again? Dean Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask:

"Does the CEO mean we should provide resources to help that shameless old dog, Qin Wudi?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Chen nodded: “I propose that the nine academies jointly fund this project—not with spirit stones, but with the accumulated literary talent and wisdom of each of you.”

The square immediately erupted in chaos.

The voices of the elders at Wencai Academy all became shrill:

"You want us to use the orthodox literary tradition to support this heretical Confucian scholar?!"

"Don't be impatient."

Jiang Chen lightly tapped the thermos with her fingertips, the lid and body of the cup making a crisp rhythm.

"I know you all have concerns, but think about it, if Elder Qin successfully transcends the tribulation, he will be the first case of a heretical scholar ascending to immortality in the ten thousand years of the Spirit Qi Continent!"

The female judge from Miaocai Academy slammed her jade flute on the table with a 'thud':
"so what?"

"Therefore, we can package this funding as the 'Confucian-Taoist Hedge Fund'."

"Make Elder Qin swear an oath to his inner demons, that from now on, although he will be a heretical Confucian, his actions must conform to orthodox Confucianism."

"Think about it, in this way, although Elder Qin is nominally a heretical Confucian, he is actually a Nine-Turn Loose Immortal of your orthodox Confucianism. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

The Nine Great Academies:
Don't tell me.

If Qin Wudi is really willing to swear an oath.

This is a Nine-Turn Loose Immortal!

His strength has already been witnessed by everyone.

If such a figure were willing to join Confucianism and Taoism, it seems that sacrificing some of their talent would actually be worthwhile.

Most importantly, after Qin Wudi ascended to immortality, he was still under the guise of orthodox Confucianism and Taoism.

For them, this is a great achievement that can be recorded in the Confucian Temple.

Aquaman on the other side also widened his eyes.

Is this okay for riding on a horse? !

What was originally a major battle was actually quelled by the president's few words, and he even wanted to recruit this powerful evil scholar.
This level of language proficiency.

Aquaman himself admitted that he couldn't even come close to that level!
"I have another question."

The great scholars of Haoran Academy raise their hands:
"If Qin Wudi fails to ascend, wouldn't our investment be wasted?"

"That's right, President. Even if we forgive Qin Wudi's actions and help him, what if he dies under the heavenly tribulation? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

"Of course I've taken that into consideration as well."

Jiang Chen had no intention of getting something for nothing. Everyone present was shrewd; they wouldn't agree to the plan without his help.

"Our Wan San Group can provide accident insurance for the tribulation. If Qin Wudi fails to ascend, you can receive double the amount of spirit stones as compensation."

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the scene.

"of course."

Jiang Chen suddenly turned to face Qin Wudi, his smile becoming even more amiable:
"If Elder Qin is willing to sign the 'Post-Ascension Labor Dispatch Agreement,' promising to serve cultivators from the Spirit Qi Continent in the Immortal Realm..."

"enough!"

Qin Wudi suddenly flew into a rage:
"I have cultivated for ten thousand years; how dare you treat me like a mere figurehead?"

"To treat them as valuable talents and give them special training?"

Jiang Chen promptly interrupted him by handing him a pen, and at the same time handed him a document:
"After signing, you can receive a Tribulation Transcending Gift Package worth 30 billion spirit stones from our Wan San Group, including but not limited to: Jade Pool Special Supply Immortal Dew and Great Dream Holy Land Special Supply Lightning-Avoiding Immortal Stones."

Every time Jiang Chen mentioned a good point, Qin Wudi's smile grew wider.

In the end, Qin Wudi laughed like a fool.

He glanced at the contract details.

The so-called "labor dispatch" means that he is to work as a "live-streaming e-commerce host" for Wan San Group in the Immortal Realm. Although I don't understand what it means, it shouldn't be too difficult.

【What exactly do you want?!】x3
Unsurprisingly.

Jiang Chen's plan quickly attracted the attention of the three Holy Lords.

Don't you want to know what's really going on in the Immortal Realm? Have you forgotten about the Western Fantasy Continent? Our phones can communicate across dimensions.

【Hmm?】x3
The three Holy Lords were taken aback at first, but then suddenly understood Jiang Chen's profound meaning.

Good guy.
So it turns out Jiang Chen was planning to use Qin Wudi as a guinea pig!
Awesome!
The Holy Lord gives Jiang Chen a thumbs up!
When it comes to cunning, Jiang Chen is undoubtedly number one, and no one dares to say they are number two.

After the emergence of the theory that ascension is harmful.

And the immense popularity of Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods.

This includes various fan-made cultivation novels that depict the immortal realm as an even more cruel and inhuman place.

This also means that no one is willing to be the first to ascend and try something new.

If Qin Wudi were to ascend to immortality...
All we need to do is let Qin Wudi bring a cell phone with him.

They can then learn the inside story of the immortal realm!
stand by!

We must support Qin Wudi's ascension!
They would even support his ascension at all costs!

The Spirit Continent desperately needs a model of ascension!

This is because it was a live broadcast, and Jiang Chen had to be professional and find a "reliable" excuse; otherwise, he wouldn't bother to come up with a bunch of reasons to exonerate Qin Wudi.

Subsequently, Jiang Chen and the three Holy Lords secretly communicated their true purpose of supporting Qin Wudi's ascension to the Nine Great Academies.

Ok?
What the hell!

These great scholars from the academies also understood.

yes?

Why didn't they think of that?
Paying a price of literary skill to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the Heavenly Palace—this deal is simply too good to pass up!
