I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 413 The Daily Prophet (23)

Yunmeng Marsh, Hidden Dragon Island.

This is the place that Xi Luo specially arranged for E Tu to stay after his return.

Similarly, this is also where the Wind and Thunder God, Xuan Su Shi, was imprisoned.

However, although he was imprisoned on Hidden Dragon Island.

However, Xuan Su Shi herself was quite happy with her current living environment and lifestyle.

There's no need to consider missions or responsibilities anymore, nor to deliberately disguise one's feelings and thoughts.

Xuan Su's greatest hobby was to take a fishing rod and go fishing in the Yunmeng Marsh next to the island.

Although most of the time, Xuan Su Shi caught the rather greedy human-faced fish, she still enjoyed it immensely.

After all, there aren't many people in the entire Yunmeng Marsh who can use pills to fish.

This is no longer a question of whether it's luxurious or not.

Apart from the Xuan Su clan, no one else would use such precious elixirs in this way.

However, recently, Xuan Su Shi has stopped doing so.

This was certainly not because she had run out of pills, but because she had developed a more novel hobby—reading newspapers.

The newspaper in Xuan Su's hand was a huge sheet of talisman paper, about two feet four inches in size, divided into eight pages.

Despite being called "newspaper," this talisman paper possesses a toughness comparable to silk, and even has the effect of being impervious to water and fire.

The newspaper was published by none other than [another entity].

It was Li Jingshu and Qinghe who led the members of the Lijiacun Newspaper.

In a sense, this so-called "newspaper" is actually an upgraded version of the "Talisman Paper Radio" from a few years ago.

Unlike the newspapers in Li Boyang's previous life, these newspapers were not disposable.

As long as Li Jingshu and Qinghe haven't lost the master copy, they can rewrite the newspaper's content at any time.

Correspondingly, the sub-versions held by others will also change.

So even in places outside the mountains of Baidi.

With just one copy of this newspaper, one can stay informed about events happening in the Hundred Mountains region.

In fact, when Li Jingshu presented this thing to Li Boyang, he was truly stunned.

In an era where travel is mostly by walking and communication is mostly by shouting, the mountain people have actually come up with something similar to a mobile phone.

Of course, calling it a mobile phone isn't entirely accurate.

Although these newspapers update their content daily, they certainly don't have an active search function.

In Li Boyang's view, this is more like a text-based mobile radio station, or a mobile mini television set.

Following Li Boyang's suggestion, Li Jingshu and the other newspaper members went a step further and divided the newspaper into eight sections in detail.

The first section is the "Front Page Headlines".

It mainly releases some major and crucial news.

These news items include, but are not limited to, major events that have occurred in the Hundred Mountains region, as well as some plans and predictions for the future.

The second section is [Toutiao].

It mainly refers to some key events that have occurred in the short term, or even today.

This section is quite diverse, covering everything from major issues like transportation routes to minor ones like conflicts between villages.

The third section is "Hundred Land Ecology".

It mainly describes and introduces the ecology and appearance of some of the gods and spirits in the land.

In particular, deities and spirits with particularly bad tempers, or those who have caused a lot of trouble recently, will issue special warnings to the mountain people through the newspapers.

The fourth section is 【Weather Forecast】. Just like its name suggests, this section predicts future weather conditions.

Thanks to the widespread use of divination, this system can almost predict detailed rainfall and weather conditions in various parts of the Baidi Mountain area for the next few days.

In this way, even in the more backward villages, there is no need to specifically teach divination, which greatly facilitates the lives of the mountain people.

Then comes the back of the newspaper, with some frequently rotating secondary sections.

This includes sections such as [Cultivation Analysis], [Essentials of Magic], [Technical Sharing], [Sequence of Deities], [Spirit and Monster Popular Science], [Culture and Education], [Public Service Assistance], [Assistance Requested in Hundreds of Locations], [Public Service Announcements], and [Dynamic Entertainment], among others.

In these secondary rotating sectors.

The most popular section among the mountain dwellers is the recently added "Dynamic Entertainment" section.

After all, Li Boyang had been promoting a unified written language and the popularization of education for a long time.

However, compared to the large number of mountain people, many of the older generation are still illiterate, and even among the younger generation, there are inevitably some illiterate people.

The emergence of [Dynamic Entertainment] perfectly caters to the needs of these illiterate people.

This is because this section consists entirely of dynamic images, rather than a static section where text explanations dominate.

The creation of this section means that this newspaper is more like the television set that Li Boyang remembers.

In order to achieve "continuous and dynamic presentation of images" in newspapers.

Li Jingshu even took the initiative to seek help from Li Boyang, which was quite unusual, and that's how they broke through the bottleneck of this technology.

Since the promotion of this newspaper, which is called "The Prophet's Daily".

Within the territory of the Hundred Mountains and within the activity range of the mountain people, many more newspapers were successively established.

These newspapers lack a "News & Entertainment" section, and even daily updates are difficult to maintain.

However, their appearance greatly enriched the lives of the mountain people.

It has brought together mountain people, who are now scattered all over the world, in a more intimate way.

Take Xuan Su Shi for example. Besides reading the Prophet's Daily, her biggest hobby now is collecting newspapers published by other mountain people.

The collection of newspapers and periodicals, as thick as a book, was enough for Xuan Su to understand all the situations inside and outside the Hundred Mountains without leaving her home on Hidden Dragon Island.

In order to distinguish this special newspaper from ordinary newspapers.

Many people also refer to it as the "Rune Newspaper"—a special newspaper made using talisman techniques.

"Unfortunately, other newspapers don't have a news section; they can only publish pictures."

As she flipped through the newspapers in her hands, Xuan Su sighed with regret.

Making the images in the video keep moving remains a secret technique exclusive to The Prophet's Daily.

Even though The Prophet Daily had previously shared this technology with all readers through its "Technology Sharing" section,

However, the materials involved and the modifications to the master template were still beyond the reach of ordinary mountain people.

Perhaps we can only replicate a second "Prophet's Daily" when some powerful deity becomes interested in publishing a newspaper in the future.

Xuan Su felt that that day should not be far away.

At least within the Yunmeng Marsh, many gods have already begun to stir.

However, considering Li Jingshu's formidable reputation, they were all waiting for a pioneer.

Only after confirming Li Jingshu's attitude will the spirits of Yunmengze apply this technology to other newspapers.

In any case, the gods and the mountain people have different concerns.

They had plenty of time to wait and test, and were not in a hurry at all.
