Chapter 486: Chapter 486

With profit to be made and the rumors dispelled, the dozen or so rescued Demon Cultivators were instantly excited.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic about selling toxins, I’ll briefly explain the membership rules," countless "membership system" ideas flooded Jiang Yuan’s mind.

After the paper bird eradicated the swarm of night butterflies, he didn’t bother exploring the Secret Realm anymore. He gestured for quiet and explained, "Extracting toxins is Miss Chan Yu’s ancestral skill, and previously, many neighbors had deep misunderstandings about her and her family.

Now that the rumors have been dispelled and to help neighbors caught in poverty, she is willing to impart her technique wholeheartedly. However, any fellow cultivators who wish to learn must swear by their Daoxin that once they learn the extraction method, they cannot teach others..."

Old Yu stroked his catfish beard and nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "That’s right, that’s right! This is due to Miss Chan Yu’s kind heart, how could one casually pass on such true teachings?"

"We are all proper cultivators, though we may be poor, we haven’t lost our cultivation conscience. Swearing by Daoxin, we vow to abide by the promise."

"Yes, indeed, Daoxin is extremely important to cultivators, we wouldn’t break a promise for such small gain."

Seeing their agreement, Jiang Yuan continued, "Secondly, as the buyer, I only recognize the quality of toxins refined by Miss Chan Yu, so all transactions will be conducted with her. Chapters fırst released on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

All you fellow cultivators can collect Jade Bottles from her, and after refining, have them assessed by her. Those that pass can be exchanged for Spirit Stones.

At that time, all those who collect a bottle will be recorded, and if someone takes one without returning it, they won’t receive another next time..."

All the Demon Cultivators listened intently and nodded repeatedly, imagining that the Jade Bottles storing the toxins were not ordinary items. If someone shamelessly took and sold one without returning it, wouldn’t that cause unnecessary loss?

"Next are the membership rules. Miss Chan Yu, in her kindness, will teach the extraction technique for free. Once registered and having sworn by Daoxin, these fellow cultivators will be considered official members. Existing members bringing a new member will receive ten Spirit Stones as a reward, and this will continue indefinitely."

As soon as he mentioned paying for recruitment, the Demon Cultivators, who had never been exposed to the modern membership system or platforms like PDD, trembled with excitement.

Call over one fellow cultivator to join and earn ten Spirit Stones for free. The whole family and all relatives and friends could be called over, couldn’t they easily earn hundreds or thousands of Spirit Stones this way?

After a moment of commotion in the crowd, Jiang Yuan slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and continued, "However! New members brought over will be registered under the introducer’s name, and if there is any cheating or unauthorized passing on of techniques, the introducer will be held accountable.

So, please don’t just focus on immediate benefits or randomly recruit unreliable people to join for those few Spirit Stones."

"That’s right, that’s right, when it comes to pristine Spirit Stones, one indeed must be cautious," Old Yu continued stroking his catfish beard while nodding, and others echoed his sentiment.

The Demon Cultivators in the swamp were always poor, who wouldn’t want to have a stash of Spirit Stones to buy Magical Treasures and Elixirs at will?

Now that there is a rare opportunity to earn money, they would not agree with anyone who wanted to break the rules!

Jiang Yuan thought it over and added a few details, first registering these Demon Cultivators as the first batch of members with the agreement that tomorrow they would converge on the Wilderness to conduct the new membership registration and Spirit Stone reward work at Miss Chan Yu’s place.

Then, she would hold collective classes to teach members how to extract toxins.

A trustworthy Demon Cultivator means ten Spirit Stones, eager to register their names. Eighteen Demon Cultivators hurriedly left—whoever recruits first gets the credit, no chance they’d let others snatch away their potential recruits!

One passes to ten, ten to a hundred, with the temptation of pristine Spirit Stones, soon all the Demon Cultivators in the swamp had vaguely heard the new "rumor" about the Little Toxin.

"Have you heard? That Little Toxin isn’t poisonous at all, she was hunting venomous snakes to extract toxins, and a bottle sells for two hundred Spirit Stones!"

"Tsk tsk, this couldn’t be a deliberately planted lie by Little Toxin to lure us in and capture us all at once, could it?"

"I doubt it, I heard Old Yu say that Miss Chan Yu teaches the toxin extraction technique hand-in-hand, aiming to get us all rich!"

"Bah! You believe that? Foolish, right? If it were that lucrative, why would anyone teach it to others for free?"

"I heard there’s this membership system, you learn the technique from her, collect bottles, then submit the toxins and get two hundred Spirit Stones per bottle, with her taking five for profit."

"Only fools would slave for Little Toxin! If you want to go, go ahead, I’m not getting fooled..."

The entire day, the chirping in the concealed caves within the swamp didn’t stop.

Old members, for their benefit, said nothing about the ten Spirit Stone profit, only focused on recruiting.

Those who chose to believe naturally did, while many Demon Cultivators considered it a scam, gleefully deciding to watch the show from afar.

As night fell again, Jiang Yuan appeared punctually at Miss Chan Yu’s doorstep with the prepared Spirit Stones, Jade Bottles, and registration artifact he urgently acquired from Pavilion Master Cang’s Treasure Pavilion.

"I, I followed your instructions... activated all the protection arrays." She was extremely nervous, having never interacted with the Demon Cultivators of the swamp before.

Though she imagined one day wearing a Magical Treasure to mask her toxic aura and gradually interacting with others, with her "notorious reputation," even with a Magical Treasure, nothing changed.

Chan Yu thought she had to leave the swamp to see improvement, but Jiang Yuan made everything happen so quickly!

She was eager to seize this opportunity to completely change her image, so she practiced repeatedly throughout the day.

Taking a deep breath and finally calming down, when she came out of the small house and saw the vast crowd of Demon Cultivators, even her earlobes turned red, and her speech began to stutter again.

"I’ve ordered a stronger Guardian Array from Pavilion Master Cang, it may take a few days to receive, that’ll ensure your safety even further," Jiang Yuan glanced at the system appraisal, noting that the array level in her small house wasn’t high. Fortunately, the swamp’s Demon Cultivators were limited by conditions and their cultivation wasn’t high, so Miss Chan Yu’s toxic nature was adequate for self-protection.

"I... how can I thank you..." She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look up at him, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum, "It’s all thanks to you helping me, otherwise... I wouldn’t know when I’d be able to connect with other cultivators..."

"We’re friends, no need to be so polite." Jiang Yuan demonstrated in detail how to use the registration artifact, instructing her to ensure each new member swears by Daoxin, preferring fewer members and toxins than leaving a security risk.

A vast throng of Demon Cultivators encircled the pebble island tightly.

Aside from the newcomers brought in by old members, there were more Demon Cultivators watching from afar, hoping to see if Little Toxin would suddenly act, as the rumors suggested, poisoning and devouring other Demon Cultivators to advance in Realm!

"Old Yu, you first register." Seeing it was about time, Jiang Yuan calmly sat at the small table for "calling numbers."

The other party, his catfish whiskers swaying with excitement, had recruited over twenty Demon Cultivators thanks to his good relationships, and Jiang Yuan registered their names one by one before counting out two hundred sixty Spirit Stones to pass over, "Here is your referral fee, sir."

The pristine Spirit Stones stimulated all the Demon Cultivators’ nerves.

Old Yu laughed till his eyes were mere slits, patting his catfish whiskers and loudly proclaimed, "All you fellow cultivators who joined with me are now old members, you can also introduce reliable new members, with a referral fee of ten Spirit Stones per person!

But, I’m taking this referral fee to serve as a guarantor for you all. When you introduce new members, you must also vouch for their character..."
