Today Chu Yang was not live streaming, but discussing something with Xue Qianwei.
"Miss Xue, let's discuss something."
Xue Qianwei stared at Chu Yang with her beautiful eyes, a hint of resentment in her gaze.
Chu Yang's explosive popularity had led many platforms to frequently negotiate with Xiong Miao Live, hoping to acquire this impressive newcomer streamer.
The staff at Xiong Miao Live had also been subjected to various attempts at bribery, with people wanting to inspect Chu Yang's live streaming contract.
However, Chu Yang's contract had no penalty clause for breach of contract.
This was because Xue Qianwei's initial intention was not for Chu Yang to make money for her, but because Chu Yang could help her open the door to the world of immortal cultivation.
When Chu Yang suddenly wanted to discuss something with her, she felt as if he were about to run away.
Chu Yang coughed twice and said, "Miss Xue, there's no need to worry. Although many platforms are trying to poach me, my heart belongs to you..."
Xue Qianwei glared at him, "Get to the point!"
"Alright, I've come to talk to you about a business deal."
"A business deal? Do you think the contract is too low?"
Chu Yang quickly shook his head and then said seriously, "I have a big project, and I don't know if you can handle it."
Xue Qianwei's expression also became serious, "What big project?"
"You should already know that this world is not as simple as you imagine. I can reveal a little to you: popularizing the immortal cultivation system to all of humanity is what I am doing."
Xue Qianwei's face changed slightly. Such a grand ambition. But even if he proved that immortal cultivation was real, could he really achieve this?
It was not easy. It was unknown what realm cultivators could reach to defeat modern firearms.
Furthermore, the only source of true immortal cultivation techniques in this world was Chu Yang. With so many people vying for a single cultivation technique each time, how could it be popularized?
"Aren't you very curious about what I use to measure things like talent, spiritual roots, and special physiques?"
Xue Qianwei was indeed very curious, "Do you have some method in your cultivation that allows you to see these things at a glance?"
"Miss Xue is truly intelligent! But that is my secret, and it cannot be passed on."
"Then what business do you want to talk about?"
"I have a magic treasure called the 'Talent Appraisal Stone,' which is about the size of a football field. Anyone who touches it can clearly know their various static aptitudes. Then, based on the appraisal results, they can choose cultivation techniques suitable for them to practice."
Xue Qianwei's eyes widened. A magic treasure the size of a football field? That was a bit frightening!
Setting aside its functions, if Chu Yang could casually control such a large stone and smash it down, its destructive power would be quite terrifying!
"This... this this... is it real?"
Chu Yang beckoned, and a small stone immediately floated into his hand.
"Of course it's real. Are you in on this project or not?"
"I'm in! Of course, I'm in!"
Anyone who refused would be a fool!
Xue Qianwei was extremely curious about immortal cultivation matters now.
As the sole guide to immortal cultivation, Xue Qianwei would naturally accept whatever Chu Yang offered.
"However... I have some requirements!"
"What requirements?"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "You must guarantee that everyone has the opportunity to use this 'Talent Appraisal Stone' and that it will not be used for direct profit."
"That's no problem at all!"
For Xue Qianwei, this was not a big deal. It would simply be buying a piece of land that could accommodate the Talent Appraisal Stone, which was a trivial matter for a wealthy woman!
Moreover, with such an item, anyone who wanted to cultivate in the future would have to go through an appraisal to see what kind of cultivation techniques suited them.
What was this? This was stable customer flow!
If immortal cultivation were truly popularized worldwide in the future, who wouldn't come to use this appraisal stone?
As long as they had this item to tie everyone down, her family would have tens of thousands of ways to make money.
Chu Yang retracted the Talent Appraisal Stone and said with a smile, "Then you should first secure the venue. Please hurry with this matter."
"Didn't you say it was a transaction? What do you want in return?"
Chu Yang sighed helplessly and said, "I'm likely to face a lot of trouble in the future. I want you to clear all obstacles for me so that I can stream with peace of mind."
"That's all?"
"Just tell me if you agree or not! You're saying 'that's all'?"
As if afraid Chu Yang would go back on his word, Xue Qianwei quickly nodded, "I agree, I agree!"
After the transaction was completed, it was time for Xue Qianwei's question session again.
"When will you teach me alchemy?"
Chu Yang crossed his arms and said indifferently, "You can't do it yet."
"What? Then didn't I buy that alchemy manual for nothing?"
"This world temporarily lacks the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed to refine elixirs, and you don't have an alchemy furnace. Most importantly, can you even produce a flame that can boil water?"
Hearing this, Xue Qianwei's expression immediately became awkward.
She seemed to be stuck at the stage of creating small flames from her fingertips.
"This cultivation speed seems a bit slow. And if you say those things are not available, then what's the use of this alchemy manual?"
"I said it's only temporarily unavailable. It won't be long before they are."
This depended on when the system dad would provide them.
After a brief chat, Xue Qianwei stood up and hurried out.
"I'm going to talk to my dad about where to put the Talent Appraisal Stone. You stay here by yourself for now. Oh, right, do you need a nanny or an assistant?"
Chu Yang shook his head.
"Then security..."
"Don't be silly. Do you think any security guard can beat me?"
Thinking about it, Xue Qianwei didn't say anything else. She left the large villa to Chu Yang alone and went out.
...
After Chu Yang became popular, many people were skeptical.
Even the viewers who watched the entire live stream found it hard to believe.
As the saying goes, when one becomes famous, troubles follow.
Soon, imitators of Chu Yang appeared. Some streamers claimed to be from Mount Longhu and were orthodox cultivators, stating that Chu Yang's cultivation techniques were unorthodox.
They also sold cultivation techniques in their live streams and taught others how to cultivate.
Whether it was effective or not, they sold their cultivation techniques for only a few hundred yuan, starting by harvesting a wave of naive followers.
Various demons and monsters also emerged.
For example, on some short video platforms, magicians began to aggressively capitalize on the trend.
