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

Chapter 176 You Won't Even Call Me Leader! (6.2K views, please subscribe!)

But upon closer reflection, I realized that my subordinates weren't obtained by spending money on gacha pulls.

To upgrade them, they need to contribute to the sect themselves.

What kind of game is this that's supposed to be so generous?
It's in line with the corporate culture of the Yuan Sect!

Try it out now.

Su Yuan immediately had an idea and engraved Chen Nuoyi's name on the position of vice leader.

The next second, Chen Nuoyi's relevant data immediately appeared in front of Su Yuan's eyes.

Chen Nuoyi: Deputy Leader of the Yuan Cult

[Loyalty: 100%]

[Special Abilities: Purple-Gold Dragon Aura (Gold), Dragon King Bloodline Severely Damaged (Purple)]

[Contribution points: 4563]

[Note: Subordinates' ability levels are ranked from lowest to highest as follows: white, green, blue, purple, gold, and rainbow.]

[The initial upgrade of a purple ability requires 10000 contribution points. After upgrading, it can advance to the next level.]

[The first upgrade to a gold-level ability requires 100000 contribution points. After upgrading, you can advance to the next level.]

Oh?
After reading Chen Nuoyi's special abilities section, Su Yuan's eyes lit up.

One purple and one gold? That's considered a top-tier SSR, right?

Moreover, all of these abilities can be upgraded.

In other words, as long as the class monitor has enough contribution points, her bloodline risks can be resolved directly by upgrading her bloodline.

It seems I can truly shoulder the responsibility of being the class monitor.

However, it must be said that the contribution points required to upgrade purple abilities are quite a lot.

The class monitor had been committing evil deeds with him for a short time after he obtained the system, and his contribution points were only a mere four thousand.

I need to keep a closer eye on things from now on.

Su Yuan turned off Chen Nuoyi's personal information and then engraved Yin Qiyue's name on the position of Left Envoy of Light.

[Yin Qiyue: Left Envoy of the Yuan Cult of Light]

Loyalty: 100% (to the Vice Leader)

[Special Abilities: Thousand Sound Spiritual Root (Purple) and the Spotlight (Blue)]

[Contribution points: 3090]

Su Yuan checked the upgrade requirements for the blue ability and found that even the first upgrade required 5,000 contribution points.

Can't get promoted, can't get promoted, next one.

Right Envoy of Light, Chu Lanxi!

Chu Lanxi: Right Envoy of the Yuan Cult of Light

Loyalty 50%

[Special Abilities: Pseudo-Lightning Strike True Body (Purple), Heavenly Demon Heart (Purple)]

[Contribution points: 900]

Another double purple SSR?

But his loyalty is a bit low; his eldest son clearly doesn't understand who the king and queen are.

next.

The positions of Vice Leader and Left and Right Envoys of Light have been filled out; next, it's time to appoint the Eight Hall Masters.

The specific eight halls of the Yuan Sect are not defined in the sect's organizational system, which clearly requires Su Yuan, the sect leader, to personally set the tone.

After careful consideration, Su Yuan decided on the name of the first branch.

Tuhao Hall.

Xiao Kong: Head of the Local Tyrant Hall of the Yuan Cult

[Loyalty: 60%]

[Special Abilities: Incomplete Yin Fire Dharma Body (Purple), Yin Fire Dharma Lineage (Blue)]

[Contribution points: 5289]

One purple and one blue? That makes it a SR (rare) rarity.

However, in the system's evaluation, the Yin Fire Dharma Lineage alone only has a mere blue quality, which means the evaluation criteria are rather strict.

From this perspective, the class monitor's talent is truly remarkable.

In the entire Taihua City, it is estimated that only Li Zhengxing and Xiao Meng have talents that can barely be compared to the class monitor, and may not even be able to match them.

As for why Xiao Kong's contribution points are so high?
Su Yuan boldly guessed that the other party must have contributed too much money and food to him in the early stages of the Yuan Sect's development.

He was given away with a two-million-dollar access capsule to the Illusionary Realm, and he was the most enthusiastic buyer when it came to purchasing courses.

Whenever I need to implement some relatively new tutoring strategies in the advanced class, this person is always the leader.

Very good, very energetic!
I'll upgrade his Yin Fire Meridian later and give this good subordinate a proper boost.

And the next one.

The name of the new hall: Poor Ghost Hall.

【Wu Ziying: Leader of the Poor Ghost Hall】

[Loyalty: 100%]

[Special Abilities: Sports Divine Body (Blue) Overclocking Mode (Blue)]

[Contribution points: 5070]

Sure enough, under the constant influence of the abyssal spiritual power, Wu Ziying had become completely inseparable from him.

Although this guy doesn't have purple-level abilities, he still has a lot of potential for improvement, making him a genius among ordinary people.

Moreover, she was actually the person who contributed the second most points among all her subordinates.

It is likely because she was the vanguard of the king, and she "voluntarily" endured the pain that the leader suffered during his cultivation.

Not bad, not bad. I'll reward her properly later.

He wanted to ensure that all of his outstanding subordinates in the special training class successfully passed the preparatory course assessment.

Only by gradually planting spies in the Ten Great Immortal Sects and turning them into the Yuan Sect's backyard can one's own sect grow stronger.

After temporarily finalizing the candidates for several cadres, Su Yuan studied the specific differences between the various positions, such as the Left and Right Envoys of Light and the Eight Great Hall Masters.

He discovered that the higher the rank, the faster the contribution points could be accumulated.

Take Yin Qiyue for example.

As the Left Envoy of Light, she oversees the artist team.

She can receive a share of any benefits that the artists make to the Yuan Sect.

The same applies to the eight hall masters. After their subordinate forces achieve great success, the hall masters can obtain a large amount of contribution points.

Simply put, the higher the position, the more manpower and resources one has, and the faster one accumulates contribution points.

This is quite important for the Yuan Cult, where contribution points are everything.

"Although we have directly assigned Xiao Kong and others to the position of hall master, we still need to set KPIs."

"Without inward competition, how can the Yuan Cult develop, and how can newcomers gain opportunities for advancement?"

Su Yuan pondered and began to plan the development strategy of the Yuan Sect.

After he had a general plan, he finally came to his senses and looked at the sky outside the swimming pool.

It's almost time for school.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yuan sent a message to Xiao Kong and Wu Ziying, asking them to come to the swimming pool.

While waiting, Su Yuan moved a chair and sat down, patiently awaiting the arrival of the two.

After a while.

Wu Ziying and Xiao Kong pushed open the door of the swimming pool.

"Su Yuan, class is about to start, why did you suddenly call us to such a remote place..."

As soon as Xiao Kong entered the room, he spoke with dissatisfaction.

But before he could finish speaking, his tone faltered upon seeing the scene before him.

Then Su Yuan sat imposingly in his seat, with the pond water shimmering in the morning sunlight behind him.

The light shone down from behind Su Yuan's head, giving him a dazzling golden glow.

However, his facial features were completely shrouded in light and shadow, making it impossible to discern his expression.

He was just sitting there in an ordinary way, even though the chair was a common wooden chair found in schools, but an indescribable sense of oppression emanated from him.

For a moment, Xiao Kong felt as if the person sitting in front of him was not his peer.

Instead, he was a leader of a demonic sect who had been in a high position for many years.

This inevitably put Xiao Kong at a disadvantage, forcing him to swallow his impatient words.

"Xiao, I have an opportunity to give you."

Su Yuan spoke calmly, his tone carrying a captivating and seductive power:
"I can upgrade the grade of your Yin Fire lineage, making you surpass your sister in the power of fire."

"There is only one price to pay, and that is to join the sect I founded and become a hall master under me."

"From now on, all your decisions and choices should prioritize the sect."

"Would you be willing to agree?"

"You want me to work for you?"

Xiao Kong found it somewhat unbelievable.

Isn't Su Yuan just a poor guy who's made a little money?
Why should a rich young master like him work for someone else?
They can acquire your fledgling sect in no time.

However, Xiao Kong was extremely tempted by Su Yuan's mention of improving the grade of the Yin Fire Dharma Vein.

Although the innate talent of lineage is almost impossible to improve under normal circumstances.

But if Su Yuan had said these words, Xiao Kong would have been more willing to believe them to some extent.

Because Su Yuan has just too many tricks up his sleeve.

He can even temporarily lend me the Abyss Dharma Line through the human skin demon talisman, what else can't he do?

Should I agree or not?

Xiao Kong hesitated.

He is a person who values ​​promises very much; once he makes a promise, he will not go back on it.

But precisely because of this, he will carefully consider every choice he makes.

Selling himself so hastily to a small sect with an uncertain future is inconsistent with his plans for the future.

However, Su Yuan did not give him time to consider. Seeing that he did not answer for a long time, she turned to look at Wu Ziying.

"You are also one of the eight hall masters of my sect, come and receive the blessing."

Wu Ziying thought for a moment, then asked cautiously:
"Su Yuan, how much would I earn each month if I worked under you?"

Su Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"Yuanjiao is currently in its initial stage, and I cannot guarantee you anything about your future."

"But what I can guarantee is that before you graduate from the top ten, Metaphysics will give you unimaginable support."

"For example, things like directly enhancing your innate abilities are something you absolutely cannot get by joining another sect."

"After you graduate, you will naturally receive corresponding remuneration based on your abilities."

Wu Ziying nodded, somewhat bewildered.

The prospects for the Yuan religion seem pretty good.

Moreover, I was a senior executive from the moment I joined the company, a privilege I don't get elsewhere.

Besides, she's currently a student and can only earn money by doing odd jobs.

If I join Yuanjiao, will I be able to consult with Su Yuan, this veteran worker, and ask him to introduce me to ways to make money?
Thinking of this, Wu Ziying nodded vigorously:
"I am willing to join the Yuan Cult."

Then she asked curiously:
"Master, how will you enhance my abilities? Will there be any side effects?"

Su Yuan smiled and said:
"Would I cheat you? Don't worry, it'll be over in no time."

As he spoke, Su Yuan beckoned Wu Ziying forward.

After the girl approached, Su Yuan took out a wine glass and handed it to her, pointing to a pool of spiritual liquid behind him.

“If you scoop up a cup of water from the pool and drink it, you will naturally feel an improvement in your talent.”

"Drinking this... can it really enhance one's talent?"

The girl paused slightly, looking at the pool of water that looked quite appealing, and hesitated. Su Yuan said, "Just take a sip. Remember to tie your hair up so it doesn't fall into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool."

After a brief hesitation, the girl finally agreed.

She went to the poolside, scooped out half a cup of the spiritual liquid, and downed it in one gulp.

Strangely enough, this spiritual liquid looks incredibly potent and has a wonderfully fragrant aroma, but it tastes like eating spicy blood curd.

The girl smacked her lips, about to say something, when suddenly, an indescribable pain surged from her limbs and bones.

It's like the flesh and blood, the meridians and veins of the whole body, starting to regenerate, like a second development.

"It hurts so much!"

The girl collapsed at Su Yuan's feet with a thud, her body burning like a furnace, steam rising from her flushed, snow-white skin.

Her pretty face was filled with pain.

Xiao Kong watched this scene in shock, wanting to question Su Yuan about what he had given Wu Ziying to drink.

But before he could ask a question, he clearly felt that Wu Ziying's aura was rapidly becoming stronger.

To suppress the pain, Wu Ziying simply grabbed the floor tile.

As a result, the floor tiles she touched were easily crushed into dust.

This power was clearly far beyond Wu Ziying's previous level.

"Her physical strength has increased so much, what exactly did Su Yuan give her to drink?"

Xiao Kong was stunned.

Although he never doubted Su Yuan's words from beginning to end.

But it's just a pool of water, so why could it allow Wu Ziying to evolve to this extent?
After a long time.

The girl's pain finally subsided, her skin became smoother and firmer, and her figure became more and more perfect.

She stood up with some difficulty and clenched her fist in disbelief.

"I feel like I've gotten stronger."

"And speed..."

The girl sprinted around the pool like lightning.

After running a lap, the sweat she had shaken off when she started hadn't even dripped onto the ground yet.

"Your athletic talent is probably among the best in all high school students in Taihua City."

Su Yuan offered a casual reminder.

Upon hearing this, the girl's face lit up with joy, and she then cautiously asked:
"Then may I ask, Master, is there anything I need to do for our sect?"

"Just focus on preparing for the preparatory course, and you'll naturally find a way to be useful later."

"it is good!"

Su Yuan: "Alright, it's time for class. You guys go back to your classrooms first."

Wu Ziying nodded and turned to leave.

But Xiao Kong was getting anxious.

"What about me? Su Yuan, I didn't say I wouldn't join the Yuan Cult."

Su Yuan glanced at Xiao Kong indifferently:
"Your hesitation just now disappointed me."

Xiao Kong's expression faltered slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"How much money do you want? As long as it can upgrade the grade of my Yin Fire lineage, I can agree to any price."

Su Yuan sighed:

"What did I do to make you see me this way?"

“I just wanted to lead you down a path that surpasses Xiao Meng, I had no other ill intentions, but you wouldn’t even call me ‘Master’.”

Xiao Kong: "..."

You stole my T490 boarding capsule for free. Doesn't that prove your greed?

You're just putting this up with me, aren't you?

However, Xiao Kong was really envious of Wu Ziying's improvement, so he had no choice but to reluctantly call her "Master".

After he accepted the identity of the leader of the Yuanjiao Church, his loyalty level increased directly from 60% to 90%.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Kong, who had drunk the pool water, underwent an astonishing transformation in his spiritual lineage.

While the quality of his Yin Fire spiritual power was greatly improved, the power of the black fire he condensed was also more than twice as strong as before.

In terms of firepower, it directly surpassed Xiao Meng's Yin Fire during the Eight Schools Joint Examination.

After enhancing the talents of Xiao Kong and Wu Ziying, their strength will undoubtedly grow rapidly in the near future.

As for Chen Nuoyi and Chu Lanxi, they are not in a hurry to improve their special abilities.

Judging from their ability stats, these two have a pretty good chance of passing the preparatory course exam; they just need to train step by step.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

On November 19th, Bai Ji of Taihua finally concluded his investigation of the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm and returned to Taihua High School to teach.

That morning, led by Xiao Kong, the nominal substitute teacher, the students of the special class warmly welcomed the return of Tai Baiji.

"It seems that Xiao Kong and Su Yuan have done a good job teaching you while I was away."

Tai Baiji glanced at the students, who were full of energy and spirit, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Our progress is mainly due to teaching... cough cough, it's all thanks to Su Yuan."

Xiao Kong dared not take credit and solemnly explained.

Taibai Baiji nodded slightly, naturally aware of this.

He turned to look at Su Yuan, whose expression seemed slightly tense and guilty, and asked with narrowed eyes:

"You haven't caused any trouble lately, have you?"

"This...this is natural."

"Teacher Taibai, don't you know me? I've always been a model student."

Su Yuan coughed lightly, forcing himself to appear calm.

However, just then, a delicate, startled cry suddenly came from outside the classroom:

"Ah...don't touch there!"

Immediately following was a distinctive, mischievous laugh from a little girl:

"Hehehe, Sister Xiaowu, the feel of this is just too good. I feel like I could play with it for a year."

Su Yuan: "..."

Tai Baiji: "..."

The Golden Core Sword Immortal's eye twitched slightly, and his sword-like eyes pierced through the wall, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, in the corridor outside the teaching building, a charming young woman, as if she had applied a level 10 beauty filter, walked quickly by.

Her beloved daughter, Taibai Yuxi, sat on her shoulders, clinging tightly to the charming young girl's rabbit ears.

His daughter, whom he remembered as always being sensible and lovely, now had an expression as wicked as that of a pervert.

The two of them walked towards the abandoned swimming pool, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Upon seeing this scene, Taibai Baiji felt a dull ache in his heart.

He could easily see through Xiao Wu's true nature.

This is a complete combination of a refined corpse, a blood beast, a banner of ten thousand souls, and a crimson-faced, white-boned puppet.

This kid has completely replicated the skills he honed during the inheritance assessment in real life!

I should have thought of that a long time ago!

He suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at Su Yuan:
"Come out with me for a moment."

After saying that, he grabbed Su Yuan by the collar from a distance and dragged him into the stairwell.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Su Yuan quickly said:
"Teacher Taibai, please let me explain..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation."

Tai Baiji sneered:
"You're quite capable, kid. I've only been gone for a little over a month, and you've already put together such an exquisite magical puppet for me."

"Don't you expect that when I come back, I'll come after you and demand an explanation?"

"I know, I know."

Su Yuan said cautiously:
"But once the profit exceeds one hundred percent, a businessman can sell the rope that will hang himself..."

"Your reasons are quite valid."

Taibai Tianji choked for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said:

"If it were a normal time, it would be one thing for you to stir up trouble in Taihua City."

"But it won't be long before Taihua City becomes the focus of everyone's attention. If someone with ulterior motives discovers your puppet, it will affect your reputation."

Su Yuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said:

"My reputation has already suffered quite a bit, so it's not a big problem."

"But my reputation still has a lot of room to decline."

Tai Baiji gritted his teeth and said.

Su Yuan scratched his head, his eyes darting around, when he suddenly caught another element in the other person's words and forcefully changed the subject:

"Let's not talk about my business for now. Teacher Taibai, what did you mean when you said that Taihua City would be the focus of everyone's attention?"

"Is something big going to happen in the future?"

Tai Baiji nodded:

"That's right, this matter is related to the assessment of the top ten preparatory classes."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then said speechlessly:
"Could it be that the preparatory course assessment will be held in Taihua City? Is Taihua City really the center of the universe?"

"Not only are the preparatory course assessments held in Taihua City, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, all ten preparatory courses will be offered directly in Taihua City."

Tai Baiji explained:
“The location of each of the top ten preparatory classes is not within the university town of any of the top ten immortal sects.”

"They usually choose a first- or second-tier city with a strong Taoist atmosphere to hold classes in order to spread the influence of the Ten Great Taoist Sects in that city."

"The reason why Taihua City was chosen as the location for this preparatory class is firstly because the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, intends to expand its business in Taihua City."

"Secondly, it's because... the original preparatory class teacher of the Demon Slayer Sword Sect was unavailable and wanted me to teach in their place. Therefore, they specifically chose my hometown as the location to avoid me refusing the offer."

Su Yuan nodded in realization.

Then he looked at Taibai Baiji with some sympathy:

"Teacher, you're so pitiful. You've already graduated from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, but you've still been drafted."

"I think the school spirit of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect is not good. I will never go to this lousy school again."

Tai Baiji thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded to Su Yuan:
"you're right."

Su Yuan: "???"

I was just saying it offhand.

So the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect is really so inhumane that even its graduates don't recommend new students enroll?

This is such a rip-off!
"In short, the preparatory class teachers from the top ten universities, as well as the genius high school students who have received recommendation letters from the top ten immortal sects' Golden Core Doctors, will all gather in Taihua City."

Tai Baiji solemnly said:
"So you better watch your step for the next while, and don't embarrass me."

"Especially that Crimson-faced, White-boned Puppet that combines the strengths of a hundred demonic sects, you'd better hide it well!"

Upon hearing this order, Su Yuan's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

He said cautiously:

"Teacher Taibai, it's not that I'm disobeying your orders, it's just that the identities of my puppets are somewhat special."

"What special method?"

Taibai Tianji frowned.

Su Yuan stammered:
"I sent all eight puppets I created to become live streamers, and now each puppet has more than 200,000 real fans."

"If we suddenly put them on hiatus, it would probably cause a sensation."

"You fucking... used them for live streaming?"

Tai Baiji felt everything go dark again.

During the month he spent in the secret realm, how many things did Su Yuan do that he didn't know about!
Now that's great, I don't need to struggle anymore, I can just wait to be humiliated!
