In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 120 Su Yuan: I persuaded Chen Nuoyi overnight!

With Taibai Tianji's backing, Su Yuan's biggest black mark—luring minors to recharge and tip—vanished without a trace.

After calming herself down a bit, Chen Xian thought for a moment and then made a phone call.

This phone number is the contact information for the owner of that online troll shop.

The call was answered quickly, and a voice with a slightly electronic feel, but whose tone was exactly the same as the shop owner's, rang out.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Chen Xian: "Are you commanding the navy? Did you see that Su Yuan invited Tai Baiji as an outside help?"

The shop owner said helplessly:

"I saw it, but who could have predicted that the 'Scholarly Witch' was the daughter of the Venerable Taibai?"

"To be frank, you played poorly this time. If you had told me about Su Yuan's relationship with Master Taibai beforehand, I definitely wouldn't have charged you like this, and I wouldn't have brought up Master Taibai's daughter."

Chen Xian keenly noticed the change in the shop owner's attitude towards her.

You're all high and mighty now that you've received the final payment, huh?

But I have to admit that what they said makes sense.

Chen Xianqiang suppressed his displeasure and said coldly:

"I don't need excuses. As long as we can suppress the hype surrounding Su Yuan, you can name your price!"

The tone on the other end of the phone immediately became polite:
"You're too kind, sir. But my team of online trolls has indeed met their target of ten comments per person..."

"If you add another 200,000, I can launch a fierce attack on Su Yuan's other dirty secrets. Even a Golden Core cultivator can't protect a little devil who sells dangerous items, right?"

Chen Xian nodded in satisfaction and transferred 200,000 yuan without saying another word.

"Ding-dong, you have received 200,000 yuan!"

A faint payment notification sound came from Chen Xian's phone.

However, he couldn't tell whether the payment sound came from the phone or the live stream, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

At Tai Baiji's home, feeling the slight vibration of his phone and the information reported to him by the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

That's right, the "shopkeeper" who just spoke with Chen Xian is Su Yuan No. 1 from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

You never know if the person on the other end of the phone is a human or a ghost!
As expected, Chen Xian, this big fat sheep, couldn't sit still and started adding money to swindle him.

But Su Yuan had already made thorough preparations. Tonight, however much money Chen Xian bet, he would make him lose that much money!
Su Yuan secretly activated the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and the ten thousand naval troops, who had been somewhat subdued, immediately launched a fierce counterattack, their momentum even surpassing the 'Holy crap' comments that flooded the screen due to the appearance of Taibai Tianji.

The arguments behind this online counterattack are almost unanimous!
"Even the Venerable Taibai shouldn't protect a streamer who profits through demonic means!" "This cooking method of sealing the souls of ingredients is too vicious!" "We strongly demand the permanent removal of all ingredients made using demonic methods!"

The underlying meaning is the same.

You can become famous, but you can no longer make money by selling products!
Many genuine viewers agreed with this "reasonable" request.

The trend started by the shop owner pleased Chen Xian, who was the big spender.

Let's see what we do with that little blondie, Su Yuan!
Then, he watched as Su Yuan calmly addressed the viewers in the live stream:

"The streamer has deeply reflected on the fact that the cooking methods for roast goose and similar ingredients are biased towards the magic of the Daoist sect."

“My family is right. In this civilized era of cultivating immortality, the demonic path should disappear. Even when cooking, we must do it in an upright and honorable way.”

"Actually, the livestreamer started exploring the legitimate ways of selling products a long time ago."

"There's no time like the present! Today, the host will showcase the results of our research, a complete overhaul of the methods used for all types of roasted meats!"

After saying that, Su Yuan clapped his hands, and Yin Qiyue, who was off-camera, pushed a food cart into the frame.

On the food cart sat a large, high-end-looking plate with a lid. "This is a new style of roast goose developed by the streamer after countless trials! While maintaining the exact same taste as the original roast goose, the cooking method has completely abandoned any elements of demonic cultivation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuan lifted the lid of the dish!
The next second, a golden light shot into the sky, bathing the entire camera in golden light!
Chen Xian, viewers in the live stream: "???"

"Please note, this is not a special effect!"

After the golden light dissipated, Su Yuan, who had reappeared, spoke calmly.

However, the viewers in the live stream had no interest in Su Yuan; they were all drawn to the food on the plate.

It was a whole roast goose, its glossy, dark red skin sparkling like stars, resembling a magnificent work of art.

At the same time, the roast goose had a peaceful expression that ordinary roast geese do not have, as if it were still in a dream.

With a snap of his fingers, Su Yuan made the roast goose stand up unsteadily.

To the audience's surprise, once the roast goose came to life, it didn't have the same eerie feeling as the previous zombie goose; instead, it had a fairytale-like healing quality.

It's like the roast goose that the little match girl imagined waddling towards her.

It was so cozy and made one's appetite so great.

Judging from its appearance alone, this roast goose could never have been made using demonic methods; it is a treasure-level creation of the righteous path!

Then, Su Yuan told the story in front of the camera with great emotion.

First, in order to improve the roast goose, he replaced the cheap spice with an extremely expensive one.

He also mentioned that in order to recreate the original flavor of Dragon Scale Roast Goose, he tried countless recipes in the kitchen, enduring numerous failures and hardships.

Furthermore, to avoid causing suffering to the food, they employ an advanced, completely self-developed surgical-grade painless slaughtering method, achieving complete legalization.

In short, it all boils down to one sentence: craftsmanship!
After the atmosphere had been built up sufficiently, Su Yuan took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"To be honest, the previous magical techniques had a significant advantage over my painstakingly developed culinary skills."

"Its advantage lies in its very low production cost. The cost of a roast goose with the same flavor after it has been completely converted to the righteous path is nearly 30% higher than that during the demonic path period."

"So how do we solve this increased cost? Both Chen and Yin suggested that I appropriately increase the unit price."

"But I can't help but ask, why should the extra costs incurred due to changes in the production process be passed on to every consumer? Are consumers just obligated to pay more?"

"To solve this problem, I tossed and turned all night and finally convinced Chen and Yin to make a bold decision before the live broadcast started."

At this point, Su Yuan deliberately paused before stating firmly:
"All products in my live stream will be sold through legitimate channels, while maintaining the same prices!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shopping link popped up in the live stream, along with a product display page that was full of righteous disguise effects.

Without Su Yuan saying anything more, all the products in the live stream sold out in a second!
Chen Xian, who was almost persuaded to place an order: "???"

He felt like he had seen a ghost!

The online trolls were just using Su Yuan's demonic methods as a point of attack yesterday, but the next day this little blondie has completely orthodoxized the food preparation process?
This is insane!
The audience, whose attention was completely drawn to Su Yuan, did not notice the expression on Tai Baiji's face, which was about to break down, as he stood in the corner as a background figure.

Because Bai Tianji knew all too well the inside story of this so-called "completely orthodox" roast goose.

Completely righteous nonsense!

Su Yuan did only one thing from beginning to end: he disguised the corpse-refining roast goose with a righteous disguise.

It's like disguising the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as a high-tech holographic projection banner.

That's it!
