BXBX NOVEL Chapter 411: 412: Number One is Not Hard, How Much Will You Give?
From then on, they would not need to waste time on the road and could come and go as they pleased without any concerns.
Within the Holy City, a massive expansion was also beginning. The majority of the shops in the city were transformed into Tangneng First-class and quality stores, essentially turning into an entire street of Huazi bathhouses.
Xiong Da and Dry Flame Saint Child, after enduring a period of ridicule from the country bumpkins, thoroughly integrated into their current lifestyle.
Only at that moment did they truly understand why Yang Guang had adopted an attitude of giving up on life that day.
It wasn’t about giving up; it was that since they could grow stronger by simply lying down, why bother putting in any more effort?
Bathing to increase cultivation levels, Huazi could enlighten, and there was simply no need to run one’s own Cultivation Techniques. Holding Spirit Stones and practicing step by step was no longer necessary, as the bathhouse and Huazi combined boosted speed by more than ten times that of cultivating with Spirit Stones.
It was as if they had cheated, gaining substantial benefits overnight, even a Great Crossing Realm Expert like Xiong Da. It was an unprecedented experience.
Li Xiaobai, truly a divine being!
Within the bathhouse, regardless of gender, everyone subtly flaunted their physiques, attempting to catch the attention of others. Each cultivator had at least one Body Refining Technique, and after many days of effort, they were beginning to see the results.
Not only Yang Guang, but Cai Kunxu was also grinning from ear to ear. Although he didn’t get any Spirit Stones, the cultivators under his command were growing stronger by the day. The allure of bathing compelled them to rigorously practice their Body Refining Techniques daily.
Their foundation had become many times more solid than before, and combined with the effects of bathing and Huazi, their power was incomparable to what it had been before.
There was not much news coming from the other two battlefields, and there hadn’t been any special actions. Li Xiaobai felt it necessary to sneak into the borderlands for a look around. Previously, Mei Changqing had mentioned that he had buried someone deep in the borderlands, which could very likely be Old Beggar.
Song Que also mentioned that he saw a glimmer of golden light flickering deep in the borderlands. It was necessary to check out the situation and see if there were any Blood Sacrifice Fragments released by Cangying.
With his current defensive power, as long as it was not an abnormally strong Mahayana Realm Flesh Mountain, he could handle it.
However, before that, it was required to promote the shops in the Holy City. He wanted cultivators from the first and second battlefields to come and spend, confident that after one purchase, they would never be able to stay away from the shops for the rest of their lives.
With Song Que holding the fort inside the city, there was no need to worry.
Turning his wrist over, he took out the Immortal Spirit Daily and summoned Elder Tianji with the Spirit Stones.
“Young Master Li, we meet again. The last report seemed to have an average reception; it didn’t make much of a splash after being published, and the sales of Immortal Spirit Daily didn’t increase. You have to write well this time!”
Elder Tianji got straight to the point, complaining about the poor sales right from the start.
In response, Li Xiaobai wanted to roll his eyes at the man. He had already multiplied the sales of Immortal Spirit Daily by who knows how many times, and yet this old codger was still thinking of fleecing him, just like Ergouzi, never satisfied.
“Elder, we are now vying for the borderland market. Previously, Immortal Spirit Daily had never focused on this segment. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so naturally, the initial results won’t be that great.”
“After a few more reports are released, it should be able to stimulate the cultivators’ enthusiasm.”
Li Xiaobai said with a smile.
“I see. Young Master Li, you are a talent; I believe in you!” Elder Tianji nodded, understanding the issue, which made it easy to resolve.
“What kind of report do you want to write this time, young friend?”
“Hehe, this time let’s write a blockbuster. As long as we can ensure that the Immortal Spirit Daily reaches every battlefield in the borderlands, it is bound to bring a huge volume of market sales!”
Li Xiaobai let out a chuckle and, with a flourish of his pen, produced several articles.
“Shocking! Cultivators on the fourth battlefield experience a massive increase in cultivation levels overnight, and the reason is…”
“Holy City turned upside down, tens of thousands of cultivators flood in, all for this!”
“Tangneng First-class, an essential for cultivation!”
“No way, no way, can it be true that someone went to the battlefield without bringing Huazi!?”
“With this, my family will no longer have to worry about my safety on the battlefield!”
As Li Xiaobai’s writing took on the force of a dragon and the grace of a snake, Elder Tianji’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. Although he hadn’t fully grasped the concept of sensationalism, he could still discern which were the good articles.
The poor sales of the previous issue were mainly because the articles were too illusory; Black Flame was only on the periphery, and no one had seen it, nor could they specifically go to the periphery to confirm it, so naturally, there wasn’t much interest in it.
But now things were different. There were shops in the Holy City that could quickly improve the cultivation levels of cultivators and ensure their safety on the battlefield.
Weren’t these two the very things that frontier cultivators were always pursuing?
If they were now told that the shops in the Holy City could directly help them achieve these two goals, they would surely continue to pay attention to the publications of the Immortal Spirit Daily.
After all, once their curiosity was piqued, they would definitely look forward to the subsequent developments, and by then, it would be the Immortal Spirit Daily’s bestselling moment.
“Young Master Li, brilliant!”
Elder Tianji stroked his beard and smiled in satisfaction.
“Senior, tough work, this business of publishing reports will require a lot of your attention. Make sure that every cultivator on every battlefield can see it!”
Li Xiaobai cupped his fists in salute, smiling cheerfully.
“Young Master Li, rest assured, this little task—I will get on it immediately. By tomorrow, let the Immortal Spirit Daily spread across the frontier!”
“Oh, by the way, how are things over in Central Province, are the elder ancestors of the various clans still pursuing me?”
Li Xiaobai suddenly remembered something and asked.
“Of course, the warrant orders from the elder ancestors of the tribes are not so easily revoked. To my knowledge, right now there should be many people coming to the frontier looking for trouble with you, from Nascent Soul up to Mahayana Realm, they are all searching for you.”
Elder Tianji nodded and said.
“I have a favor to ask of Senior, I wonder if it can be done?”
Li Xiaobai spoke.
“But speak your mind, young friend, you are a guest of honor at the Immortal Spirit Daily, any requests you have, I will try my best to accommodate.”
Elder Tianji smiled.
“Well, I’ve heard that the ranking on the Heaven List is actually a commercial ranking and can be bought. I would like to ask the elder to place the name Li Xiaobai at the top of the Heaven List, can this be done?”
Li Xiaobai asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Elder Tianji’s spirits lifted and he looked at Li Xiaobai with renewed interest, “This matter is not difficult. How much do you wish to offer?”
