I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 96: Beginning

"Hmm?!"

On the upper floor of Lin Yue Tower, Lin Chen suddenly turned his head and looked through the gauze window, gazing at the dark mountains and forests beyond the crowd.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother?" Xu Mengyun couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

Lin Chen didn't respond immediately, but stared in that direction, his brows slightly furrowed.

Because just now, he seemed to have sensed a faint, indistinct... killing intent coming from that direction.

However, the feeling was too vague and fleeting, making it impossible for Lin Chen to be certain.

"Junior Brother, are you okay?" Xu Mengyun asked again and again.

"I'm fine." Lin Chen slowly withdrew his gaze.

In front of him was a white jade pot, filled with the fragrance of wine and abundant dishes.

In the middle was the signature dish of Lin Yue Tower - Seven Treasures Moon Fish Slices. The fish slices were as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear, and carried a pure wine fragrance that was irresistibly enticing.

Originally, they had just planned to continue their conversation, but the dishes arrived midway, so they waited for a while before continuing their conversation.

Liu Qiqiang, who was on the side, quickly filled the wine and explained with nods and bows, "This is High Grade Moonlit Silver Fish. Not only is it rich in spiritual energy, but it also has an indescribable deliciousness. Please have a taste, Senior Brother!"

"Hmm... not bad!"

Lin Chen picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and not only was there no fish bone, but it also had a refreshing taste, accompanied by a faint wine fragrance.

"The fish meat is tender and delicious, but the key is the drunken fish wine. It's not something added afterwards, but rather has a natural taste that blends perfectly with the fish. It's truly rare..."

"Senior Brother is truly amazing!" Liu Qiqiang exclaimed.

"Enough, enough. Let's get to the point, shall we?" At this moment, Xu Mengyun untimely interrupted.

"Don't you want to taste it?"

"I've been here many times and I'm tired of it."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then put down his chopsticks, feeling that it would be better to talk about business first.

"Junior Brother, tell me about this so-called advertising investment. What's the matter?"

"Advertising, the meaning is quite simple. It means inserting the content of certain merchandise sold by a certain shop on the cover or in the content of a book," Lin Chen said expressionlessly.

"What's the use of that?" Xu Mengyun was a little puzzled.

"Promotion. The more people read the book, the more people will know about the merchandise of this shop. The more people know, the more customers there will be," Lin Chen explained calmly.

"Is it really that effective?!" Xu Mengyun's eyes lit up.

The profit of a business largely depends on the number and quality of customers.

The more customers there are, the more money they spend, and the higher their profits.

If advertising is really so magical, and can continuously increase the number of customers, then any shop can easily attract all the cultivators who have read their books as customers by simply advertising in their books.

"Is advertising really that magical? Can it continuously attract customers?" Xu Mengyun was somewhat doubtful.

"I don't know either."

"In that case... hmm?!" After hearing the words clearly, Xu Mengyun's face froze, and then she widened her eyes and looked at Lin Chen, "Then why did you mention this advertising..."

"We just need to make the merchants who do the advertising believe that it has this effect," Lin Chen interrupted her and said so.

Xu Mengyun was initially stunned, but then seemed to understand. She looked at Lin Chen, her mouth slightly agape, and said, "Junior Brother, you're... quite shrewd, aren't you?"

She understood Lin Chen's meaning. They didn't need to focus on the effectiveness of advertising, but rather on convincing the businesses that sell advertising to believe in the power of advertising to attract a large number of customers.

As for whether it actually attracts customers and how many, that's a matter of the quality of their products or the amount of spirit stones they offer, or perhaps the promotion's placement. It has nothing to do with me.

"Then let's provide a few more examples to make them believe," Lin Chen said calmly.

"But we shouldn't do this within Azure Cloud Sect. The markets on the seventh floor and above are under the jurisdiction of the sect, and the remaining markets have Foundation Building cultivators directly involved. Until we have sufficient strength, we shouldn't engage in risky activities," Xu Mengyun said.

"I understand." Xu Mengyun thought for a moment, nodded, and continued, "What about investments?"

"Some cultivators may not have good talent, but they have perseverance and some opportunities. We can give them some benefits, help them grow, establish a relationship with them, and form a network of interests. That's what investment means," Lin Chen explained.

"Are you suggesting that we provide them with resources and practical knowledge for cultivation?" Xu Mengyun guessed.

"Providing resources would be too costly, and we don't have enough for ourselves. As for knowledge, the higher-ups of the sect have regulations that prohibit the casual transmission of advanced knowledge. If we were to do that, it would attract interference from the higher-ups," Lin Chen shook his head and said.

"What can we offer them then?"

"Practical knowledge for cultivation doesn't just refer to important things like techniques and spiritual arts, but also the information gap caused by different levels of cultivation," Lin Chen explained.

"For example, we know that the herbs from the Baicao Hall on Danxia Peak have fewer side effects and more medicinal effects. The symbol shop in Moving Cloud Market offers good quality at a reasonable price. And the elder from Lianhuo Peak can forge better Spirit Weapons with disciples..."

"We can reveal this knowledge to those disciples with potential. Once they grow, we can further invest in them and turn them into our people. This way, we can maximize our benefits and form a force within the sect... Huh?!"

At that moment, Lin Chen seemed to sense something. His face suddenly froze, and he turned abruptly to look out the window.

Ding dong.

The night outside the window was calm, and a gentle breeze blew, causing the bells on the windowsill to tinkle.

"Junior Brother?" Xu Mengyun was startled by Lin Chen's actions and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chen didn't respond to her words. Instead, he stood up and took a step towards the window, gazing at the dark forest in the distance.

It can't be wrong; it's a killing intent!

He had just sensed a faint, almost imperceptible killing intent.

But Lin Chen didn't think it was a coincidence. Once could be accidental, but twice meant there was definitely a problem!

"Junior Brother...?"

"Leave this place immediately!" Lin Chen turned around directly and shouted coldly.

"Huh?" Xu Mengyun was initially confused, but then quickly reacted. "But what happened?"

"I'm not sure." Lin Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "But I sensed a faint killing intent. Although I can't pinpoint its source, it's better for us to leave here!"

"Killing intent?!" Xu Mengyun was clearly stunned. She furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, let's leave."

Liu Qiqiang put away the small notebook where he had been recording Lin Chen's words, glanced at the remaining dishes on the table with some reluctance, but still nodded.

The three of them quickly left Lin Yue Tower.

However, at this moment, the surveillance network covering the entire Moon Lake Mountain, composed of the Hundred-Eyed Corpse Beads and the Earth-Listening Corpse Ears, had already been set up.

"The hunt begins."

With the command of the blood-robed cultivator on the blood-colored altar within the cave.

In various places on Moon Lake Mountain, whether at the foot of the mountain or among the crowds at transportation hubs, many cultivators suddenly saw a flash of crimson blood in their eyes!
