101 Fully Display the Advantage of Low-Cost Labor (1/2)

By the time his voice fell, the audience was already in awe of his words, and the ensuing silence lasted for a long, long time.

Wang Lu smiled and swept his gaze and saw hundreds of vacant eyes.

The things that Wang Lu talked about, whether it was the matters of heaven, as well as rule of how a mortal could become an Immortal, enormously differ from their expectations. However, compared to the casual everyone-could-become-Immortal rhetoric spouted out by the Seven Stars Sect, Wang Lu’s depiction was undoubtedly much more authentic. Even though deep down, they were more willing to believe that kind of as-long-as-you-consume-elixirs-you-can-magically-become-Immortal-little-by-little rhetoric, but...

A million of forerunners, the road to ascension, such rhetorics could indeed make one’s blood boil. However, after a moment of excitement, they had to face the real problem. Could they have the qualification to be the… forerunners? Even if they struggled for their entire life, it was highly likely that they would still end up being a pile of bones.

Some of them could not help but began to feel a trace of resentment. Why was the Immortal World like what the Wisdom Sect’s depiction, why wasn’t it like what the Seven Stars Sect depicted…?

While people had mixed feelings from digesting that matters in heaven thing, Wang Lu once again opened his mouth.

“You guys don’t want to become the forerunners?”

Wang Qinian froze for a moment. “We want it, of course, we want it. But…”

“Since you want it, why are you having a second thought? Do you doubt yourself? Do you feel inferior? Do you think you can’t be the forerunner?”

Wang Qinian and several other villagers looked at each other, and then the old Village Head wryly smiled as he gave his reply, “Mr. Sect Leader, you are people of the Immortal World, so perhaps you don’t understand the sufferings of us, mortals. We don’t have good aptitude and perception; if we rely on ourselves to cultivate, I’m afraid we’ll never reach the condition where we can ascend.”

Wang Lu smiled. “So, you don’t cultivate?”

Wang Qinian immediately gawked; since they couldn’t achieve anything, what would be the use of them to cultivate?

“Indeed, I am born Immortal, so I don’t understand the sufferings of mortals. However, I know that countless of years in the past, in the Nine Regions, there were innumerable cultivators who cultivated to become the forerunners. Not all of them are geniuses, not everyone was gifted with the affinity to Immortality, and in the end, only a few of them had reached the end of line… then why did these countless cultivators still cultivated?”

While speaking, Wang Lu pointed at the dirty old man He Yun. “This person comes from the world of mortals; he is just a cultivator, and can’t be called an Immortal. However, are you willing to trade place with him?”

“Trade place with him?”

“That’s right, trade all of his Immortal cultivation.”

Wang Qinian froze for a moment, and then he was suddenly jerked as if aware of something. “Of course we are willing! Although he is not a genuine Immortal, Immortal Method is mysterious and profound, how could it be compared to my old body.”

Wang Lu smiled. “Then I ask you again, do you or do you not want to cultivate?”

“Cultivate, of course, I want to cultivate! But…”

At this time, the dirty old man interrupted, “That’s right, base on the aptitude and perception, you are just ordinary people. However, regarding cultivation, the most important thing is the chance. However, in this world, what other things that could give more chance than being favored by a Daoist Immortal?”

Upon hearing this remark, no matter how stupid they were, they still could understand its implication. All of them were suddenly ecstatic.

“Then may we ask Sect Leader how are we going to cultivate?”

Wang Lu shook his head, refusing to say anything.

Wang Qinian was baffled, he didn’t know why the Daoist Immortal would end the lecture here.

The dirty old man coughed and then said, “It’s not that Sect Leder doesn’t want to tell, but this cultivation thing is a secret of our Wisdom Sect that we can’t just casually reveal to other people. Sect Leader himself, as an Immortal, is indifferent to this, but other people may object; and since Sect Leader empathize with his subordinates…”

Hearing this, a flash of understanding suddenly came through Wang Qinian’s mind; he immediately prostrated. “Please shelter us, Sect Leader! All of us villagers of Wang Family Village are willing to join the Wisdom Sect and serve the sect faithfully!”

The dirty old man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You, this old man… What are you doing? How could you just casually ask to be accepted into the Wisdom Sect?”

At this time, Wang Lu said, “These people are sincere, so it’s inappropriate to keep them out. We were able to establish the altar here because of chance, therefore, in addition to today’s lecture, the chance is also theirs. Just regard them as Wisdom Sect’s followers and look after them… Tomorrow, you will explain to them the Immortal Cultivation Method. I am born an Immortal, so regarding mortal world’s Immortal Cultivation, I’m not as familiar with it as you.”

He Yun bowed. “Subordinate will follow your orders.”

Wang Lu smiled, his eyes again turned towards the crowd of villagers, and then said, “Perhaps you’re doomed to miss the world’s ascension, but I hope you understand that each of your efforts is not futile. The road to Immortal Worlds is paved with countless bricks, and many of them will be hand-built by you; that will be your eternal glory.”

——

It was a long time after the lecture had ended that the crowd gradually dispersed. Although there were still a lot of confusion in their heart, most people couldn’t hide their excitement; their hearts were filled with joy like the blossoming of a flower.

At the same time, the leaders of Intelligence Revenue Service happily held a celebration feast. That lecture just now fully achieved the expected result. Even the most skeptical of them, Miss Holy Maiden, was also full of praise.

“Haha, a million of people… that’s an amazing theory! A watertight argument! How could you come up with such a nonsense theory?”
