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

Chapter 43 Guiding Lamp! The Great Heavenly Pivot!
"It's ready."

Su Yuan approached Chu Lanxi and Chen Nuoyi, who were waiting, and placed five red pills on the bar.

Chu Lanxi glanced at the red pills and said to an employee who was busy not far away:

"Brother Wang, come over and inspect the goods."

"Okay, boss."

The employee known as Brother Wang rushed over, picked up a red pill, carefully scraped off a layer of powder, and inhaled it.

"hiss--"

The next second, Brother Wang took a deep breath, and his muscles began to tense and twitch uncontrollably.

After a long while, with a deep sense of ecstasy on his face, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, as if he had instantly entered a sage mode, becoming extremely peaceful.

"Boss, the goods are fine."

Brother Wang sniffed and nodded.

"Thanks a lot."

After Chu Lanxi dismissed the person, she looked at Su Yuan with some surprise:
"You're quite capable. How about working part-time as an alchemist at our shop after school?"

"Salary is negotiable. How about I give you 100 yuan for each calming pill I refine? The shop needs about 100 calming pills a month."

Upon hearing this salary level, Su Yuan was immediately tempted.

After all, his alchemy is not like that of a real alchemist, who needs to guard the furnace and use various techniques and operations to make pills.

He only needs to expend spiritual energy; the rest will be handled by the Demonic Art of Spirit Finger.

But isn't the price Chu Lanxi offered a bit too low for a true alchemist?

A dangerous glint immediately appeared in Su Yuan's eyes:

"Lanzi, alchemists only earn that little? You're not ripping people off, are you?!"

Chu Lanxi smiled and said:
“Yuanzi, alchemists have long since retired from the profession. Every year, there are tons of college students graduating from alchemy departments. Apart from those with real skills, who isn’t just a worker on the alchemy assembly line?”

"As intelligent alchemy furnaces become more and more common, the salaries of alchemists with average skills will only decrease. This is truly a friendly price."

Su Yuan remained silent.

How come he remembers that in almost all cultivation novels, alchemists are a very noble profession? Why is it worthless in his eyes?
This is the downside of industrialized cultivation; what about craftsmanship? It doesn't exist.

"Okay, okay, one hundred it is."

Su Yuan feigned reluctance, but inwardly he was delighted.

But Chu Lanxi didn't know his true thoughts, and then said:
"How about this, besides alchemy, you can take a casual job as a shop assistant here, and I'll pay you seventy per hour."

Su Yuan: "Godfather".

Chu Lanxi then looked at Chen Nuoyi beside her:
"Squad leader, would you like to work as a receptionist at my shop? The hourly wage is 170."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan grabbed Chu Lanxi by the collar:

"Son, what do you mean? Why am I only given seventy, but the squad leader gets one hundred and seventy?"

Chu Lanxi calmly replied:

"Do you think my money grows on trees? With me around, I'm already attracting a lot of female customers. Now I urgently need to expand my business with male customers."

"And it's quite obvious that you're not as attractive to men as a pure and beautiful young girl."

"Of course, if you're willing to dress as a woman, I might consider giving you a raise."

Su Yuan: "..."

In the end, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi accepted the job and started working that very day.

Although this shop is a 17+ rated establishment, its customers are mostly ordinary urban workers with relatively easy jobs.

However, this was quite different from the demonic life that Su Yuan had initially anticipated, a life that walked on the edge of the rules. And so, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi began their days of going to school during the day, going to the cafeteria for roast goose after school, and then working at the Peach Oolong Sect.

Time flies and it’s Saturday.

Tai Wah High School operates on a one-day-off system, so students still have to attend school on Saturdays.

However, this Saturday was quite special. Instead of attending classes, the eight senior classes lined up on the playground early in the morning, led by school leaders.

The powerful figure from one of the Ten Great Immortal Mansions is coming.

Finally, as a streak of light flashed across the sky, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

coming!

Su Yuan stood in the second class's line, looking enviously at the luxurious flying boat approaching from afar.

Then the streamlined airship slowly landed in the center of the playground. Under everyone's gaze, the airship's door slowly opened, and a figure strode out.

The school leaders all went to greet them, and Su Yuan curiously looked at the newcomers.

He was a young man who looked to be under thirty, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a calm and composed demeanor, without any sense of arrogance.

But at that moment, someone in the crowd let out a low gasp.

"The rumors are true. The powerful figure who visited our school this time is indeed the famous sword cultivator from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, Tai Baiji!"

"It is said that he was a Golden Core cultivator eleven years ago and even served as the spokesperson for the Juque Company... However, the Juque Company went bankrupt not long after he became its spokesperson."

"Tai Bai Tian Ji?!"

Hearing the surrounding students' discussions, Su Yuan suddenly realized that he actually knew the important person in front of him.

Of course, we met through an advertisement.

This person is indeed a legend. Not only did he graduate with the highest score in his class from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, but he also created a brand-new sword system and is hailed as one of the most outstanding sword immortals of the younger generation. It is even very likely that he will become one of the most outstanding sword immortals in the future.

But if that's all there is to it, Tai Bai Tianji's reputation will at most be spread by sword cultivators, and his fame won't be very high.

What truly made him famous was his strange and unpredictable luck.

Because no matter what brand this person endorses, that brand will inevitably suffer a major blow within a year; it will either go bankrupt or at least see its market value halved.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a guiding light for the industry.

Su Yuan guessed that the reason this person came to teach at Taihua High School was partly due to the fact that the large companies he had cheated worked together to get rid of him.

It's unclear whether this person's luck will only affect companies and sects, or whether schools will also be affected.

Su Yuan couldn't help but worry about the future of Taihua High School. Could it also be forced to close down?

Just as Su Yuan was lost in thought, a "ding-dong" sound suddenly rang in his ears.

You have faced a formidable figure in the demonic path!

Alright, so the Demonic Cultivation Giant is back again, isn't he? System, I've really seen through you.

Standing before you is the Sword Demon Tai Baiji, who has successively destroyed the Giant Sword Sect, the Imperial Sword Sect, and the Chaotic Sword Hall, and severely damaged the Five Elements Sword Sect and the Greedy Wolf Sword Pavilion!

Now, the Sword Demon has descended upon the Taihua Sect, his intention to destroy the sect is blatantly obvious!

Although you are unwilling to remain subservient to others, you now have no choice but to bow to the Sword Demon and use his power to overthrow the Taihua Sect.

The Taihua Collapse Project mission series has been updated!
