1499 Businesses in Cultivation Online

"Our business in Cultivation Online? It's nothing special—just your typical operation with the usual groups." Chu Shijian said.

He continued, "As you probably already know, Cultivation Online is heavily incorporated into our economy now. Nowadays, it's fine even if you have no money in the real world. As long as you have money in Cultivation Online, you're essentially successful even in the real world."

"Most large businesses like us have different branches that specialize in their own gold earning strategy."

"For example, we have the Monster Hunter Branch, which focuses solely on hunting magical beasts for monster cores and materials. This is the most profitable method but also the most tiring and competitive. Although we used to have businesses in every realm, we've decided to move to the Third Heaven, where resources and wealth are much easier to acquire compared to the Lower Heaven, and competition is weaker there due to the higher requirements."

"Other operations include Quest farming and herb picking for those with weaker cultivations. Alchemy is also a very profitable business, but unfortunately, the requirements for this are extremely high, and any alchemist that can concoct tier 2 and above pills is in very high demand, not to mention their expensive contracts."

"We also have a dungeon-focused branch that specifically clears those, but the casualty rate is even higher than the Monster Hunter Branch."

Yuan quickly digested this information and nodded, "I see how it works. How does the Qin Family hinder your business?"

"Targeting a specific business is much harder than you might think since they'll need to know our operations and workers' identity. Since Chu Wuyang, who was in charge of our business in Cultivation Online, gave Qin Family our information, it made our business in Cultivation Online hell."

"The Qin Family would target our Monster Hunting Branch by killing our players during or after their hunt when they're the most vulnerable. For those working in cities, the Qin Family would harass them and threaten them to stop working for us and whatnot. Once the Qin Family realizes Chu Wuyang's been exposed as their spy, they will definitely come at us in full force since they no longer need to care about being exposed."

"What a bunch of filthy and unscrupulous bastards, the Qin Family!" Chu Liuxiang cursed out loud after learning of the situation.

"And since you don't have their information, you cannot fight back," Yuan muttered.

"Unfortunately, that is exactly the case."

"Is there anything we can do to help, Yuan?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.

Yuan closed his eyes to ponder.

"I can try to think of something. I'll be heading back down to the Third Heaven for a bit, anyway."

"Really? You're willing to help us after everything you've already done?" Chu Shijian looked at him with a surprised face.

He actually wanted to ask them for help, but since he'd already received so much help from them, he was too ashamed to do so.

"If there's nothing else, I will take my leave for today. I'll contact you when I return to the Third Heaven." Yuan said.

He looked at Chu Liuxiang and continued, "You can stay here if you want."

"I'll stay behind to speak with my mother."

"Okay."

Yuan returned to his residence shortly after, while Chu Liuxiang went to speak with Chu Shufen with Chu Shijian.

"Yu Ning, do you have any solution for those talismans? They could become a problem in the future." Yuan asked her.

"You mean the Array Talismans? They all contain arrays with martial techniques stored in them, so they're not really treasures, which makes it tricky to restrict them. However, they're quite difficult to create and very expensive, so I wouldn't worry too much about them for now."

"Perhaps not right now, but eventually. It would be disastrous if a talisman powerful enough to destroy this world somehow ends up in the wrong hands."

"If you're that worried, there is a Tier 8 formation that can restrict not just cultivation but also the amount of spiritual energy that can be released in this world. Unfortunately, I am not capable enough to create it." Yu Ning said.

"Tier 8, huh."

"Tier 7 was pretty much the pinnacle of formations during the Primordial Era. Only one individual has managed to reach Tier 8."

After pondering for a moment, Yuan showed a mysterious smile and spoke, "Want to play a game with me, Yu Ning?"

"What kind?"

"To see which of us will become the first to reach Tier 8 Array Master. If you win, I'll accept any one request from you. If I win, I don't need anything from you."

"Huh? What purpose does this game serve? It doesn't benefit you—only me."

"Perhaps, but it serves as a good motivation for me. It'll probably take some time for you to reconstruct your body, so I have some time to catch up."

"Well, I have no reason to refuse something that would only benefit me, so I'll play your game." Yu Ning nodded.

Chu Liuxiang returned a few hours after Yuan left.

"How did things go with your parents?" he asked her.

"We're making progress, but it'll take some time before things return to how they were before. I left the family for an entire year, so I never expected everything to be fixed instantly."

The following day, Yan Xiaoxiao woke up earlier than usual.

"Today is the day! I made sure to interview Yuan last and dedicated an entire day just for him! Failure is not an option!"

She spent the next hour going through all her equipment to ensure the interview would be as smooth as possible.

After breakfast, Yan Xiaoxiao approached Yuan with a wide grin on her face, "I'll be with you for the entire day!"

He nodded with a smile, "Then let's start with my morning routine. I typically spend some time playing the zither after breakfast."

As they made their way to the music room, Yan Xiaoxiao began asking him questions.
