Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 135 - . This is the power of knowledge.

Chapter 135: 135. This is the power of knowledge.

On the third day, Fang Zhou brought two thousand newspapers to Yujian Peak.

This time, there was no need for Yu Qing to vouch for him. The gatekeeping disciple was very polite and welcomed Fang Zhou in, buying a newspaper for a hundred coins in the process.

Watching the disciple eagerly open the newspaper to the novel section, Fang Zhou smiled with satisfaction.

This is the power of knowledge, it can make people willing to spend money to learn.

On the surface, it seemed like Fang Zhou was merely sensationalizing news and writing risqué stories, but fundamentally, he was guiding the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to learn, nurturing their reading habits.

Knowledge leads to greater civility. If all the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were avid readers, eloquent in speech, then the Heavenly Sword Sect would be the intellectual and progressive representative of the Cultivation World.

If the higher-ups of the Heavenly Sword Sect knew of Fang Zhou’s painstaking efforts, they would definitely award him a ton-heavy medal.

With a pleased smile, Fang Zhou arrived in front of Chaoyang Palace.

Here, hundreds of disciples were already cultivating, significantly more than three days ago, undoubtedly drawn here by Fang Zhou.

Who would have thought that Fang Zhou’s newspapers could even increase the disciples’ enthusiasm for cultivation, a multiple benefit with a single effort.

Luckily, Fang Zhou didn’t come yesterday, or he would have only seen a bunch of disciples staying up all night cultivating.

He chose to come on the third day, and these disciples, refreshed and energetic, arrived early in front of Chaoyang Palace to cultivate.

While waiting for Fang Zhou’s arrival, they had been waiting for more than two hours, growing restless and impatient.

As Fang Zhou appeared, he immediately felt hundreds of eager eyes focusing on him, as if they were about to devour him whole.

This startled Fang Zhou. Since the time he was nearly overpowered by Li Ruyu when he was defenseless, Fang Zhou hadn’t been stared at so intensely. He didn’t expect to experience it again.

However, he soon realized that these gazes weren’t on him but on the newspapers he carried.

Clearly, the newspapers’ impact was much better than Fang Zhou had anticipated. It took only two days to cultivate the reading habits of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Of course, to be honest, the risqué stories had probably played a major role.

Under the heated gazes, Fang Zhou slowly walked to the table, set down the newspapers neatly, and then sat on a chair with his legs crossed.

Since the customary cultivation time wasn’t over yet, the disciples did not come forward to buy. Nonetheless, their attention was fully drawn, making it impossible for them to concentrate on cultivation.

Soon after Fang Zhou sat down, he saw Yu Qing fly over on a Spirit Sword, likely having been informed by someone.

“Taoist Fang.”

Yu Qing gave Fang Zhou a gentle smile, her warm and peaceful aura felt like a comforting spring breeze.

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but wonder if marrying Yu Qing would mean being in a state of perpetual spring due to her continuous influence.

While his mind wandered, Fang Zhou picked up a newspaper and handed it to Yu Qing: “This is your copy.”

Giving Yu Qing a free newspaper with each issue, Fang Zhou hoped to cultivate her reading habit as well and possibly engage in future discussions.

“Thank you!”

Yu Qing accepted the newspaper and immediately started reading.

Upon seeing the headline of the day, even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn’t help but gasp, becoming another contributor to the global warming cause.

With the context from the previous issue, Yu Qing didn’t question the authenticity of the news anymore, though the headline “A Major Sect in the Yun Mountain Region” still made her expression strange.

Besides the Xuanji Sect, which other major sect was in the Yun Mountain Region?

But this time, at least, it didn’t name names.

While Yu Qing was earnestly reading, the disciples finished their cultivation session and, ignoring Yu Qing’s presence, rushed to buy the newspapers.

“Young Master!”

Chu Yunfei squeezed through the crowd, drawing discontent from the other disciples, though they expressed it only through their eyes.

Yu Qing’s presence prevented any disorder or loud noise.

“Young Master, give me two hundred copies!”

Chu Yunfei, generous as she was, ordered twice as many papers as before.

Neatly, Fang Zhou counted out two hundred copies and handed them to her, saying, “No need to spend so much. I can sell them all.”

Chu Yunfei laughed heartily as she took the newspapers: “To be honest with you, Young Master, both Senior Sister Yunlong and I love these newspapers. But buying so many is also for our fellow sisters.”

Originally, she only wanted to support Fang Zhou’s business and make a good impression, but the content of the newspapers turned out to be very interesting, especially the serialized novels, which fascinated her deeply.

Moreover, many disciples liked the newspapers, and Chu Yunfei was happy to buy them as favors. She and Li Yunlong were newcomers and needed to build good relationships with those around them.

The newspapers had a threefold benefit. Only a fool wouldn’t buy them. If not for the fear of displeasing Fang Zhou by buying too many, Chu Yunfei would have bought them all.

Due to the overwhelming number of buyers, Fang Zhou couldn’t chat much with Chu Yunfei. Fortunately, she understood and left promptly after getting her papers.

Soon, hundreds of disciples bought their newspapers, but many more were still rushing in.

The disciple who had bought the remaining newspapers the day before returned, asking for a thousand copies.

Fang Zhou immediately realized this person was a reseller.

He didn’t rush to give them, instead asking: “How should I address you?”

The disciple replied with a shy smile: “I am Lu Qiuling.”

Lu Qiuling was a beauty, and of course, being admitted to the Heavenly Sword Sect indicated good looks.

Among the beautiful, Lu Qiuling was top-tier, with a bit of baby fat and an innocent smile.

Dressed conservatively, it was clear she had great curves, Fang Zhou’s type.

He smiled and asked: “You’re selling these, aren’t you?”

Despite being caught, Lu Qiuling didn’t panic, smiling: “Many of our peers don’t have the time, so they asked me to help buy them.”

Well, that’s a good excuse.

Fang Zhou patted the newspapers and said: “I don’t care if you’re selling them or buying on someone’s behalf, or how much you sell them for. I’ll give you a thousand copies now, and more next time, but with one condition: you must sell them at Xuanjian Peak, Lei Jian Peak, or Heavenly Sword Peak. Agree to this, and I’ll give you the papers.”

Lu Qiuling quickly understood Fang Zhou’s intent. Though she couldn’t name it exactly, she knew he wanted to expand the market.

She immediately agreed. Selling here or there made no difference. Forming a stable, long-term partnership with Fang Zhou was a surefire win.

Fang Zhou promptly handed her a thousand copies.

Thus, Lu Qiuling became Fang Zhou’s first distributor.

Their mutual goal was to develop the newspaper market in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect and sell papers to every corner of the Cloud Sea Mountains.

Fang Zhou’s ultimate aim was: even the Sect Master had to read the newspaper in the toilet.
