Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing crushed a Jade Scroll, indicating that the message was received, and very clearly.

To the west of Jinlan Mountain, hundreds of miles away, Yang held a cylindrical White Jade Magical Treasure, happily rushing back to Jinlan Mountain.

When the two Magical Treasures were placed together, Yu Ziqing couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

In just a few months, Yang had managed to create it.

The cylindrical Magical Treasure was meant for broadcasters, while the Jade Tablet was like a radio.

Even though they were separated by thousands of miles, the sound remained very clear.

However, further testing was necessary.

The principle was not quite like a radio, but the effect was similar.

The sound received by the broadcasting Magical Treasure would return to a receiving center with the Seven-colored Gemstone at its core, and then pass to the Jade Tablet.

According to Yu Ziqing's estimation, using the Seven-colored Gemstone core for this purpose was indeed overkill.

The most cost-effective use was as a laboratory for Yang.

Building a virtual reality lab wasn't quick or easy, but the current usage posed no difficulty.

The Jade Tablet also contained a little bit of Bone Powder from that arm; just a little bit in each one was enough.

The broadcasting Magical Treasure required slightly more, but still only in limited amounts.

According to Yu Ziqing's estimation, with the weight of that arm, selling ten billion Jade Tablets would likely deplete only a small portion.

Now it depended on whether this thing had a distance limit.

If there were no obstructions and it could work within tens of thousands of miles, then they would sell it as is.

If there was a distance limit, they'd sell an upgraded version next.

Several days later, Cece brought the Deceitful Ghost to Jinlan Mountain.

The Deceitful Ghost gazed from afar at the massive heads of the Great Devils, his legs trembling a bit.

"Don't worry, those who dare to offend us were slain, their heads placed here to be tortured day and night, unable to do anything, not even speak."

Entering the locust forest, they waited in a pavilion, and before long, Yu Ziqing arrived, placing the broadcasting Magical Treasure and the Receiving Jade on the table.

"I heard about it, you did a good job, and the store is run well.

Now there's a new item, and I'm handing it over for you to run."

Yu Ziqing introduced the two Magical Treasures, looking at the Deceitful Ghost.

"What do you think?"

"Master, this Receiving Jade doesn't have to be sold too expensively, the Broadcast Jade Pillar can be pricier but not overly so.

That frequency you mentioned has to be pricier, and selective about who it's sold to."

"I want this thing to spread quickly, and for everyone to become accustomed to listening to the Jade Tablet. How will you accomplish this?"

"Master, in Kuihou Country." The Deceitful Ghost chuckled. "The easiest place to spread this thing is to start in Kuihou Country; no one can stop it. Even the Emperor of Kuihou would be inclined and won't draw attention."

"Ha..." Yu Ziqing chuckled after a moment of thought. "All right, you handle the operation. How it's done is up to you."

"Okay, Master, rest assured."

The Deceitful Ghost departed with the initial batch of ten Broadcast Jade Pillars and a thousand Receiving Jades.

Yu Ziqing no longer meddled; the Deceitful Ghost indeed had skills but must be reined in to prevent leaving things unchecked.

If let loose, this fellow would definitely be like a lantern ornament.

Yu Ziqing once suspected that fellow had starved to death back then because he clung to wealth even in hardship, dying surrounded by riches.

With the Magical Treasures in hand, the Deceitful Ghost returned to Almsgiving Town, casually promoting it there.

Letting everyone know about this thing.

Duke Lin was quite supportive, immediately purchasing a set when he heard of the new items.

He thought of using it for troop mobilization; the Magical Treasure wasn't expensive, but that frequency thing was rather exorbitant.

After extensive explanation, Duke Lin finally understood why it was so pricey per his comprehension.

Many could hear, but only a few generals spoke; those frequencies were limited, buying one reduced availability.

Soon, a merchant from Kuihou Country who initially intended to start a brothel in Almsgiving Town, upon discovering this item, immediately invested in a Broadcast Jade Pillar and three hundred Jades, and left.

A month later, with the Magical Treasures, the merchant entered the palace of Kuihou Country, presenting the item to the Emperor.

The Emperor of Kuihou Country appeared to be a handsome young man.

He was truly peculiar, managing Kuihou Country chaotically, with all sorts populating it, attracting even fugitives from the Divine Dynasty.

But he excelled particularly in the brothel business, turning the cultivation of Oiran into a pillar industry.

The Oirans of Kuihou Country enjoyed great repute within the Three Divine Dynasties, surpassing the Divine Dynasty's internal aspirations for the same industry, avoiding suppression.

No matter the methods, these were definite capabilities.

In the Three Divine Dynasties, prominent figures took Oirans from Kuihou Country as concubines, a quite usual affair.

Beyond the Three Divine Dynasties, only the Emperor of Kuihou played and developed this into a major industry.

The money poured in abundantly, yet the Three Divine Dynasties bore him no envy.

Gazing at the presented new gadget and absorbing the introduction, the Emperor rapidly conceived a series of thoughts.

He promptly had someone take away the Broadcast Jade Pillar, and moments later, activated a Receiving Jade, hearing a seamless flow of music, deeply emotional, clear to the extreme, indistinguishable from live listening.

"Go, immediately, buy not three thousand, but thirty thousand, no, a hundred thousand Receiving Jades!"

The Emperor's eyes glowed with fervor, losing a bit of reason as he rewarded the merchant bountifully and amassed a fortune for further procurement.

After everyone had left, he picked up a Receiving Jade, listening to the sound as if a fire kindled in his eyes.

He calmed, closing his eyes.

After quietly regulating his breath, his consciousness sank inward.

Within his Qi Sea stood a grand, splendid eight-story tower.

An inscribed plaque hung on the tower, 'Kuihou' on one side and 'brothel' on the other.

This was the Emperor of Kuihou's unique cultivation Dharma Method, cultivating the brothel.

He cared for nothing but this.

He aspired to one day establish brothels worldwide.

He had lingered too long, a noble Emperor of Kuihou, yet his true cultivation Realm stood only at the Eighth-Tier Peak, scarcely credible.

This brothel was his Kuihou Country; every Oiran's achievements and influence fueled his power.

Alas, progress had stalled for too long.

He spurned lowly pleasures, fancying himself refined; the cultivation of an Oiran involved playing the zither, chess, reading, and painting, cultivation beyond ordinary cultivators.

He aimed for high-end, yet it limited his influence.

But he couldn't sacrifice his standards and stoop.

Now, finally, he'd found an opportunity, a grand chance, to attain a nine-floor brothel.
