Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 224 - 197: King of the Underworld in Taihua City

After successfully reporting Nine Dragon Hall, a total of five hundred academic credits were earned.

According to their roles, Su Yuan received three hundred credits, and Chen Nuoyi received two hundred.

These credits are quite gratifying for ordinary preparatory class students.

But compared to the foundation establishment techniques and immortal spirit roots, which start at thousands, they seem rather small.

Furthermore, there are only so many underground Demon Sects in Taihua City; reporting all of them wouldn't earn more than three thousand credits.

So, to break ten thousand credits, one must complete revenue-generating tasks.

Other tasks have caps, but the earnings from revenue-generating tasks are unlimited.

"Su Yuan, how exactly should we generate revenue?"

On the way back, Chen Nuoyi asked curiously.

Su Yuan stroked his chin and said:

"Generating revenue is simple, just clean up the income from various secret medicines, turning it into legitimate revenue that can accumulate credits."

"I remember the revenue-generating tasks at the Profound Art Celestial Sect involve students selling elixirs and magical treasures they make themselves."

"Once we take the courses at Profound Art Celestial Sect, we can directly legalize our secret medicines as legitimate elixirs."

"Huh?"

The girl was taken aback and then cautiously said:

"But I remember to legally produce alchemy, you first need to submit the pill formula and finished elixir for approval by the relevant departments."

"Are the ingredients of our secret medicines really problem-free?"

Are there any issues with the ingredients of the body refining secret medicine and weight loss secret medicine?

If it's about detecting harmful ingredients, nothing would be detected.

But claiming there are no issues is not accurate either.

After all, no alchemist would use the cafeteria and buffet leftovers to produce elixirs, let alone discuss the formula ingredients.

Su Yuan lightly coughed and said:

"Nuoyi, you don't need to worry about these things."

"Among our classmates, there must be geniuses skilled in alchemy and deducing pill formulas. Once we invite such talents to join us, everything will be resolved."

"Don't worry, our Primordial Sect doesn't engage in illegal activities. I will legitimize our business to the point where no one can find fault."

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

So why are you using the term "legitimize"?

But never mind, as long as everything is legal.

Although the law is the bottom line of social morality, the fact that Su Yuan can maintain that bottom line is already impressive; I can't ask more of him.

Just as the two of them were chatting and walking, Su Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Su Yuan, what's wrong?"

Chen Nuoyi asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing."

Su Yuan quickly recovered and shook his head with a smile.

Indeed, it was nothing; the reason he was momentarily dazed was that the pesky system issued a new task.

This was something to be expected and within reason.

[With the gradual growth of the Primordial Sect, your ambition has become uncontrollable! In your eyes, the local Demon Sects in Taihua City are nothing more than bugs.]

[A group of bugs dares to take away your business and hinder the development of the Primordial Sect, something you cannot tolerate!]

Uh... the system didn't disparage this time.

But why does it sound so grating?

[Demon task has been updated]

[Task: King of the Underworld (In progress)]

[Please eradicate and annex all non-Righteous Dao sheltered Demon Sect forces in Taihua City, making their industrial territories your own!]

[Task Progress One: Eradication of Demon Sect (1/6)]

[Annexation of Six Demon Sect industries: 5%]

[Task Reward One: Demon Technique Level Upgrade (Self-Selected) *2]

[Task Reward Two: Title: King of the Underworld (Title level depends on the annexation progress of Demon Sect industries, achieving 40% is considered qualified)]

Upon seeing the task rewards, Su Yuan's heart couldn't help but beat quickly.

Two consecutive demon technique star upgrade cards, and a title that could potentially reach a colorful level?

The system is quite generous this time!

Looks like this task must be completed.

Based on the task progress, the Demon Sect he already eradicated is Nine Dragon Hall.

The other five uneradicated Demon Sects are probably similar to Nine Dragon Hall.

From the task description, the Demon Sect forces sheltered by the Righteous Dao should refer to legal Demon Sects like the Honey Peach Oolong Sect.

Legal Demon Sects like these, sprawled throughout Taihua City, are not within the scope of this task.

Simply eradicating the six demon sects would not be difficult for Su Yuan.

In the information era, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is the best scout and spy.

Once the headquarters of a Demon Sect is found, just notify the Law Enforcement Bureau, he doesn't even need to show his face.

But wanting to invade the original market of the Six Demon Sects is not an easy task; it is even quite difficult.

"Though this task is challenging, once completed, I will become the de facto king of the underworld in Taihua City."

A gleam of ambition flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.

The task name "King of the Underworld" is quite fitting.

The three-day course at the Evil Extermination Sword Sect passed quickly.

On the last day, Su Yuan passed the minor success examination for the Demon-Revealing Wisdom Eye.

His total academic credits reached an impressive seven hundred, far ahead of Chen Nuoyi in second place, and the rest of the students couldn't even catch up.

After Taibai Phecda, it was the course by Master Qiu of the Profound Art Celestial Sect.

Upon learning it was the Profound Art Celestial Sect's course, many classmates brightened up.

Because Profound Art Celestial Sect is renowned for its excellent reputation among the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Graduates from the sect may not necessarily become wealthy and noble, but having learned skills like alchemy, artifact refining, or talisman making, they've got a stable job.

In the future, at the very least, they could be technical directors or chiefs of medium-sized sects.

Even if the sect falls, they won't. Unlike graduates from the Finance Department of Wanbao Treasures Tower, who might end up having alumni reunions in prison ten years later.

Hence, nearly one-fifth of the preparatory class has a favorable impression of the Profound Art Celestial Sect.

Even if they don't join the sect, acquiring a skill is still valuable.

A prodigy like Zhang Baiyi, a seed player of the Profound Art Celestial Sect, was eager to get started.

"Su Yuan, your surge in academic credits over the past six days is truly impressive."

On the first day of the Profound Art Celestial Sect's course, just before Master Qiu entered, Zhang Baiyi formally challenged Su Yuan:

"But once the Profound Art Celestial Sect's tasks are unlocked, I will catch up and surpass your academic credits with even greater speed!"

"Is that so? Then let's have a friendly competition."

After hearing this, Su Yuan casually replied and then asked:

"By the way, Zhang, is there a genuine genius at alchemy in our class? Can you introduce me?"

Zhang Baiyi: "..."

He felt a bit disrespected by Su Yuan.

But this is good.

This sets the stage for a comeback and face-slapping!

Fired up!

"Hey Zhang, is there really such a genius?"

Su Yuan's inquiry snapped Zhang Baiyi back to attention.

He looked at Su Yuan helplessly for a while before nodding:

"There is indeed one."

Saying this, Zhang Baiyi pointed to a figure in the back corner of the classroom:

"She was my classmate in freshman year, then transferred once."

"To my knowledge, her expertise in alchemy rivals mine in artifact refining and talisman making, though her personality is somewhat problematic."

Su Yuan glanced in the direction Zhang Baiyi pointed and casually said:

"This fellow seems unfamiliar, didn't stand out much in the previous classes."

"Ahem."

Zhang Baiyi corrected:

"She's a girl."

"A girl?!"
