The Ultimate Wage Earner 'Jiang Ruoxu', 'The Human Emperor Scripture' (Bonus Chapter 2/4)

"Oh? A cultivation livestream?"

Jiang Che finally noticed Lin Fan!

After all, this guy was ridiculously popular. After using the 'Super Livestream' feature, his channel appeared on every major platform across the internet.

Even on certain adult sites and fruit-themed chat rooms, his presence was unavoidable.

[Feeling empty? Full of regret? Does the world seem dull? Follow Brother Fan and start cultivating!]

"Heh, another Chosen One, huh?"

[Ding! Detected Chosen One ‘Lin Fan’]

[This is a Preacher, bound to a Preacher System. As long as others practice his techniques, the host gains Preacher Points and strength boosts... But who’s to say he isn’t just another pawn in a larger scheme?]

Oh ho?

Jiang Che’s interest was piqued!

From the system’s description, this Chosen One seemed different from the usual type—he grew stronger simply by spreading his teachings.

At first glance, it sounded overpowered. Combined with the spiritual energy resurgence... showing off in front of mortals might even let him ascend as an immortal ancestor!

But the system’s last line was the most intriguing.

Was Lin Fan, this Chosen One... also just another preacher in a chain?

The problem had to lie in his techniques—or his system.

In short, Lin Fan was most likely a puppet, with a mastermind pulling the strings behind him.

Just like how Jiang Che manipulated Chen Hao, Zhou Fan, and others using sub-systems.

"Lin Fan’s system and his preaching techniques must both be flawed."

Jiang Che stroked his chin, frowning slightly.

There was definitely someone behind this—someone like him, capable of manipulating systems!

Though confident in his own strength, Jiang Che wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he was invincible.

After all, the Association of the Chosen was a formidable force across the Nine Heavens, filled with all kinds of destiny-blessed individuals. Especially within the Celestial Pavilion... there were bound to be high-tier entities for whom controlling systems was child’s play.

"Heh, a Preacher System? Let’s see what kind of garbage techniques you’re peddling!"

Jiang Che let out a sinister chuckle before entering Lin Fan’s cultivation livestream.

"My technique is simple. Just follow my instructions... Sink your qi into the dantian, guide spiritual energy into the Purple Mansion... and the technique will cycle automatically."

In the livestream, Lin Fan was diligently teaching his viewers how to cultivate.

The viewer count was massive—after all, people had realized... this guy actually had something to offer.

"Heh, simple and straightforward. A preaching-type Chosen One like this will probably start showing off once his strength grows..."

Jiang Che watched Lin Fan on screen, his lips curling into a smirk. With his 'Divine-Grade Special Effects' skill, he could not only intimidate others but also mess with them in amusing ways.

...

"Found the catch!"

After practicing the technique from Lin Fan’s livestream for a while, Jiang Che discovered a major flaw.

This so-called "Preaching Scripture" was anything but normal!

Practitioners underwent a strange mutation, as if being parasitized—some of their spiritual energy was inexplicably siphoned away.

Jiang Che stopped immediately, narrowing his eyes.

"Interesting. I’d love to see who’s hiding behind this."

He rubbed his hands together, curiosity gleaming in his gaze.

Of course, he didn’t use the 'Book of Mathematical Principles' to investigate. There was no point—at this stage, the book wouldn’t reveal anything about such an entity.

"But I won’t let you show off so easily!"

Jiang Che licked his lips, preparing for a long-distance battle of wits with the unknown mastermind behind Lin Fan.

"Let’s see if the system has any similar techniques."

He dove into the system store, searching intently.

Soon, he found a decent alternative.

[Blissful Zen Technique: A dual cultivation method requiring both partners to master it. Moderate spiritual energy conversion efficiency...]

Heh heh heh—

Lin Fan, your technique only requires chanting to practice, right?

Well, mine may be more complicated, but it’s way more efficient—and appeals to a broader audience!

An 18+ technique is no joke.

While modern society might not be ready for universal dual cultivation, universal dual practice sounds fun, doesn’t it? Who’s in favor? Who objects?

What? No partner? Better start looking—time’s running out!

"With this move... I might single-handedly boost the nation’s birth rate."

Jiang Che scratched his nose sheepishly.

"Ahem, never mind. Unleashing humanity’s desires like this... most people can’t handle it. Better keep it for myself!"

Of course, he wouldn’t actually release it. If the entire population drowned in the pleasures of yin-yang harmony, the consequences would be terrifying!

Not everyone had the self-control of Young Master Jiang, after all.

"Maybe I’ll toss this Blissful Zen Technique to the Sakura Nation for testing later. Nerf the efficiency... reduce the absorption rate to 1%..."

Jiang Che’s scheming side was downright inhuman!

"This technique isn’t bad either."

[Sovereign Scripture: No cultivation prerequisites. Just recite it once, and spiritual energy automatically circulates within the body. Comes in 'Parent Scripture' and 'Child Scripture' versions. Host practices the Parent Scripture while spreading the Child Scripture widely—every practitioner nets you a tiny cut.]

[Price: 10 million points.]

A gem, but outrageously expensive!

Still, he bought it.

After all, it was a sustainable resource for milking benefits.

[Ding! Host has spent 10 million points to purchase the Divine-Grade 'Sovereign Scripture'.]

In an instant, an unfathomably profound scripture materialized in Jiang Che’s mind.

[Sovereign Scripture – Parent Version]

"Heh, little Lin Fan... my Sovereign Scripture’s efficiency crushes your crappy 'Preaching Scripture', doesn’t it?"

Jiang Che’s smirk grew wider.

I’ll out-grind you to death!

As for who would do the preaching?

Jiang Che was used to being the shadowy manipulator—he couldn’t be bothered to step into the spotlight.

But he also didn’t want outsiders claiming the title of 'Preacher'.

"Ah~ What a loving elder brother I am."

Jiang Che sighed dramatically.

The ultimate workhorse, Jiang Ruoxu, was back in action!
