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

Chapter 175 Sect System? Card Drawing and Development System!
(I am deeply humbled. The last thousand words of the previous chapter have been completely revised, fixing the bug where Old Demon Su was too young.)
After the artists left, Su Yuan didn't pay much attention to them anymore, and instead began to take stock of his gains during this period.

I won't mention the financial gains.

The artists had only been working for less than a month, and he hadn't even recouped one-tenth of the twelve million he spent on making the eight red-faced, white-boned puppets.

However, the gains in other areas were quite considerable.

For example, the power of desire obtained through the large threads of desire wrapped around the artist's body.

Su Yuan took out the headless rag doll from his pocket. After a brief examination, he felt that the spiritual energy stored inside was like a vast ocean, almost overflowing.

Every second, a large amount of desire power was flowing in, which was rapidly converted into spiritual power by the Great Desire Immortal Puppet.

This thing is much more powerful than a level two spirit-gathering array.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot, and the invisible tentacles of the Senluo Spirit Root pierced into the Great Desire Immortal Puppet, absorbing its spiritual power.

The cultivation efficiency of those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots was fully demonstrated at this moment.

After a night of cultivation, Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes and checked the spiritual energy reserves within the Great Desire Immortal Puppet's body.

It has consumed less than one-tenth of its capacity.

This wasn't the first time he had used the Great Desire Immortal Puppet for cultivation. Relying on this mobile spirit-gathering array, Su Yuan's cultivation had already reached the threshold of the peak of Qi Refining.

Spiritual Power: 98.5
Although he was still a ways off from 99.9, at this level, Su Yuan could certainly call himself a master at the peak of Qi Refining.

After all, the first level of Qi Refining is the most difficult, and the ninth level of Qi Refining is the most difficult.

The closer one's spiritual power value is to 99.9, the closer one will be to the limit of the Qi Refining Realm, until one touches the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It's no exaggeration to say that if one's spiritual power can be stabilized at 99.9, then one can already begin the process of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even contestants like Xiao Kong and Wu Ziying, who reached the peak of Qi Refining early on, might not have much higher spiritual power than Su Yuan now.

"If you want to improve your cultivation level further, you'll have to rely on slow and steady progress. But even if the improvement is slow, you should reach 99.9 before the preparatory class exam."

Su Yuan secretly plotted:

"Fortunately, the preparatory class is about to start, which will give us the opportunity to obtain the foundation-building secrets of the ten major immortal sects."

"Otherwise, I would have been stuck at the peak of Qi Refining until the college entrance examination."

After calming his cultivation, Su Yuan opened the system panel again and checked the mission progress.

[Mission: Top 100 Demonic Sect (In Progress)]

【Task Progress 1: Popularity Index (19899/20000)】

[Task Progress 2: Number of Followers (77865/50000)]

[Task Progress 3: Yuan Sect's Reputation (102749/50000)]

[Task Reward: Sect System]

Upon seeing the progress of these three tasks, Su Yuan's eyes lit up.

Both progress steps two and three have been exceeded.

Even this most unpredictable progress one is just one step away from completion.

Su Yuan has always found it most unbearable to see a progress bar at 99%.

He immediately retrieved the work information of the eight artists.

Apart from Xiao Wu, the other seven celebrities have all started live streaming again.

It's freezing raining outside right now, and there's a strong wind blowing.

Therefore, Yang Meier, who was delivering food on the street, was soaked by the rain and looked the most exhausted.

Just as Su Yuan was considering whether to give Yang Meier a raise as encouragement, several star destroyers suddenly flew past Yang Meier's live stream.

Star Destroyers costing 200,000 each!
The sight of five Star Destroyers flying by in a row ignited the entire live stream, and Yang Meier naturally expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the top donor.

"Who posted this starship?!"

Su Yuan was somewhat shocked: "Could it be that Taibai Yuxi has attacked again?"

But that’s not right!

Taibai Yuxi wasn't kept in the dark about Yuanshi Media's affairs. This girl has been making frequent guest appearances in the live streams of eight celebrities lately.
Why would she suddenly send so many starships?
Why not just transfer the money to him directly?
Su Yuan quickly pulled up the account information of the top-ranked user.

Qiu (Striving to pass the top ten exams)

???

If you're not a buddy, who the hell are you?!

Su Yuan was a little confused. Why didn't he recognize this person?
However, it's probably normal not to know her, since there are many people watching Yang Meier's live streams, and those who are willing to give large sums of money are not necessarily acquaintances.

Su Yuan took a closer look at the account of this top donor and found that this guy had never tipped anyone before and was a freeloader.

His account level only jumped up because of the five starships that spammed the screen.

His comments and bullet screen messages were all quite normal, just words of concern such as telling Yang Meier to keep warm and not to catch a cold.

There were no private messages requesting offline transactions.

It was precisely because of Qiu's generous donation that Su Yuan was just one step away from breaking into the mainstream, and finally took a big step forward.

[Popularity Index: 20378/20000]

[Quest: Top 100 Demonic Sect Members (Completed)]

[Mission Reward: Sect System (Already Issued)]

The next second, a subpage appeared on the system panel.

Su Yuan put aside his attention to this Qiu Boss, and with a thought, opened a subpage on the system panel.

A hierarchical tree diagram with strict class distinctions appeared before Su Yuan.

At the very top was Su Yuan, the leader of the Yuan Cult.

Below Su Yuan, there are the Yuanjiao positions with a strict hierarchy.

The deputy leader, whose status was second only to Su Yuan.

The Left and Right Envoys of Light possess the power to independently command an organization.

They are directly under the jurisdiction of the leader and deputy leader, and their status is lower than that of the eight hall masters who are the left and right envoys.

Below the eight hall masters are positions such as branch leaders, deacons, disciples, and trainees, who are under the jurisdiction of the corresponding hall masters depending on their affiliation to the hall.

However, at this moment, all the positions, from the vice leader to the apprentice disciples, are empty.

Clearly, Su Yuan needed to personally determine the order and ranking of the followers.

Su Yuan examined it carefully and found that although the tree diagram listed the powers and responsibilities in great detail and in a reasonable manner, it was somewhat of a waste of its potential.

After all, Su Yuan could make this thing himself if he put in the effort.

Such a difficult task, and this is the lousy reward the system gave?

Just as Su Yuan was about to start cursing, he suddenly noticed a "?" in the corner of the sub-interface.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be the user manual for the sect system.

[The host can incorporate those identified as followers by this system into the sect's system.]

[Taking the Left Envoy of the Yuan Cult as an example, once the candidate for the Left Envoy of the Yuan Cult is selected, the host will receive information such as the loyalty and ability values ​​of that cult member.]

[The host can use their contribution points to the sect to upgrade a certain ability level, thus better benefiting the sect.]

[Note: Starting from the completion of the "Primordial" quest, all previously accumulated contribution points of the followers will be effective.]

After reading the instructions, Su Yuan gasped.

You can see your subordinates' loyalty and ability levels, and you can also upgrade your subordinates.

This...this is so much like a gacha/collecting game!
