Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Nine: An Unexpected Route
Advertising?
Looking at the puzzled expressions of Tang Yubbing and Yan Rouwan, Young Master Sang explained:
“Even though our Demon Cultivators have a terrible reputation, there’s a force that will help us promote our message no matter what.”
“And as long as we get their assistance, we won’t have to worry about attracting people.”
“Who is it?” Tang Yubbing became even more confused.
“I ask you, how do most cultivators get news these days?”
“Communication Devices.”
“Who developed and manages the Communication Devices?”
“Divine Machine Pavilion.”
“And who backs the Divine Machine Pavilion?”
Tang Yubbing suddenly wore a thoughtful expression: “Floating Splendor Commerce…”
Young Master Sang nodded in satisfaction.
In today’s cultivation world, as a cultivator,
You may not know of the three sacred grounds, or the powerful sects like the Demon Cultivators or Water Moon Sect.
Because these influences may never intersect with your life.
But you definitely have heard of Floating Splendor Commerce.
Because your life, every second, is connected to Floating Splendor Commerce.
This is a transcendent force, even better than a sacred ground. They don’t have the traditional framework of sects or clans but are a loose alliance of commerce.
The alliance is filled with famous names.
Fusa Pavilion, specializing in entertainment products.
Zanghong Pavilion, which cultivates internet celebrity fairies and male gods.
The Divine Machine Pavilion, dealing in all sorts of convenient items.
These are all industries under the Floating Splendor Commerce.
In today’s cultivation world, Communication Devices have become almost ubiquitous, a common utility, and various industries spawned from these devices nearly overshadow the entire entertainment life of cultivators.
Almost every cultivator will open their Communication Device when tired from cultivation or bored from meditation, checking if something exciting has happened in the cultivation world or if their favorite fairy or male god has any gossip.
You could say that in the cultivation realm of this world, Communication Devices are an even more indispensable existence than Young Master Sang’s smartphones from his past life.
“If we want our recruitment ads for Demon Cultivators to spread throughout the cultivation world…”
“The quickest and most effective way is to contact Floating Splendor Commerce for help.”
“After all, when it comes to advertising, they’re the professionals,” Young Master Sang stated earnestly.
Tang Yubbing and Yan Rouwan exchanged glances.
“This… is it possible? I’ve heard that just for Zanghong Pavilion, to advertise with a popular fairy or male god costs quite a bit.”
“Hey, that’s true, but as long as it’s a business, there’s always room for negotiation.”
Young Master Sang confidently patted his chest: “To be honest, this haggling and swindling business is my specialty.”
“Don’t worry. With me tackling it, I’ll definitely get you an advertising spot at a bargain price.”
What a joke.
With my Nian Nian as an unparalleled external advantage,
How hard can it be to negotiate against a bunch of petty merchants?
Even if it costs a bit of points to get information from Nian Nian now,
It’s worth it to get the ads out there first.
Otherwise, I might really end up as the lone commander.
After hearing Young Master Sang’s ambitious words, Tang Yubbing nodded deeply: “In that case, this important task will be entrusted to you, Young Master Sang.”
“I’ll calculate the accounts of the branch office and give you a standard. If you can negotiate under the standard, the rest will belong to the Punishment Department.”
Upon hearing this, Young Master Sang immediately became serious: “You can count on me, Sister Yubbing.”
“This time, I’ll show these merchants what it means to push against a wall with a tongue that’s sharper than a blade!”
I still don’t believe,
That my tongue can make Little Ying surrender in three seconds but can’t outsmart a few merchants.
Just wait and see.
This time I’ll definitely earn the first pot of gold for the Punishment Department!

After leaving Tang Yubbing’s office, Young Master Sang called out to Nian Nian:
“Nian Nian, how many points for information on Floating Splendor Commerce?”
“What kind of information do you want?”
“Er, the cheapest info?”
“…”
As Nian Nian slowly appeared beside him, she shot him a glare.
Pushing up her glasses, her long legs crossed in mid-air, she lazily spoke: “Trivial information, I can give you for free.”
“Floating Splendor Commerce suddenly emerged as a cultivation business over a decade ago, skyrocketing to fame thanks to the Communication Device, covering the entire cultivation world in a short time and becoming an indispensable everyday product for every cultivator.”
“And they neither develop powers nor recruit advanced cultivators.”
“They have only one goal: to make money.”
“As long as there’s money to be made, any business can be negotiated.”
“And just the Communication Device alone has brought them uncountable wealth.”
“Floating Splendor Commerce has built a huge commercial empire based on the Communication Device, even extending to ordinary commoners, with their accumulated wealth being unfathomable.”
“However, the identity of the head of the commerce remains a matter of debate.”
“It seems no one in the cultivation world has seen the true identity of the commerce leader; no one knows if they are male or female, human or ghost.”
“Those who probably know their real identity are only the actual high-ranking members of the Floating Splendor Commerce.”
Hearing her say this, Young Master Sang became interested: “Then how many points for the identity of the leader?”
“One hundred thousand.”
“…What?!”
Young Master Sang thought he misheard.
Back when he was after Gu Yingmian, he got only five thousand points altogether.
Even the critical information of Hua Jianglian advancing to the Great Ascendance realm cost only a few hundred points.
What kind of identity can Floating Splendor Commerce’s leader have that’s worth a hundred thousand points all at once?
Is it a true immortal descending from the heavens?
Seeing Young Master Sang’s doubtful expression, Nian Nian shrugged, looking innocent:
“It’s not Nian Nian’s fault~ Nian Nian is just quoting the price honestly~”
Young Master Sang suddenly became curious.
If someone like Nian Nian went into business, would she be on par with the leader of Floating Splendor Commerce?
“Let’s talk about something practical. If I want to advertise for the Demon Cultivators, what method has a low cost and is effective?”
“Why don’t you just ask them to give you an ad for free?” Nian Nian glared at him fiercely.
Young Master Sang was overjoyed: “If it’s free, that would be even better.”
“…You’re hopeless.”
Nian Nian sighed and said, “Zanghong Pavilion’s main business is cultivating those idol fairies and male gods in the cultivation world.”
“And these fairies and male gods are in competition with each other, and the managers are secretly competing as well.”
“And for advertising contracts, they all negotiate individually; whoever gets the most ads is considered capable.”
“If you’re really looking to advertise, among the agents and idols at Zanghong Pavilion, there’s one that’s just perfect for you.”
“Who?” Young Master Sang perked up his ears in excitement.
“…Little Colorful Xia.”
