Jiang Che moved swiftly.
In just two weeks, he completed a large-scale transformation of his company.
He invested heavily (800,000 points) to purchase 1,200 acres of low-grade spiritual farmland and spent millions more on a vast quantity of medicinal herb seeds.
At the same time, news of Yuanche Pharmaceutical's rebranding quickly spread.
The announcement caused an uproar.
If Yuanche Pharmaceutical had changed its name to anything else, it might not have drawn much attention. But renaming it to "Yuanche Pill Supply Co., Ltd." was deeply intriguing!
Yuanche Pharmaceutical becoming Yuanche Pill Supply Co., Ltd.—was there a problem with that?
Pills were still medicine, so it wasn’t exactly a career change!
And right then, the company dropped a bombshell announcement:
[Our company has mastered mature pill-refining techniques and can mass-produce low-tier pills. Production is expected to begin in a month, with offerings including Qi-Gathering Pills, Foundation-Building Pills, Blood-Qi Pills, and 69 other types of low-tier pills.]
[Methods to obtain pills include: completing national security missions, achieving high scores in major cultivator exams, joining the Cultivator Association to receive monthly stipends...]
Pills!
While the world was still adjusting to the concept of cultivation, Jiang Che had already laid out all the groundwork.
He systematized cultivation, monopolized cultivation resources, and became an oligarch. Want to grow stronger? Then come work for him!
In the future, cultivation academies would be established nationwide, with rigorous exams to filter out the most elite talents.
Without a doubt, those would be the chosen ones—the children of destiny!
And then, he could reap benefits from these chosen ones, earning points hand over fist. It was a guaranteed profit!
Jiang Che never made losing deals.
What kind of villain these days still stepped forward to clash head-on with the chosen ones?
Sitting at home, points rained from the sky—and the chosen ones would even praise him, calling him "Righteous Young Master Jiang."
...
"Holy crap, what happened while I was asleep? They’ve even rolled out pills now?"
"Seriously? I’m still struggling to grasp cultivation, and you’re already supplying pills?"
"How do we get these pills? And has Yuanche Group merged with a state-owned enterprise?"
"Take on missions! The official website has posted tons of tasks. With the spiritual energy revival, some people are misusing their newfound power, and there are also missions to explore forbidden zones..."
"I’m at Qi Refining Stage 3—any experts want to team up for a mission? I just want to try a pill~~~"
Once spiritual energy revived, the global landscape would inevitably shift.
Those with higher cultivation would inevitably abuse their power for wrongdoing. But Jiang Che’s move to control cultivation resources... silently balanced the scales.
Everyone was practicing the "Human Emperor Scripture." Even if you had slightly better talent... could you really compete with those popping pills like candy?
The truly monstrously powerful individuals were basically all chosen ones—destiny’s darlings. At worst, they might be a bit foolish, but they wouldn’t commit outright atrocities.
Jiang Che acted fast, but everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
...
Jiang Ruoxu was forcibly enrolled in the Cultivation Academy by Old Man Jiang, becoming part of its first batch of students—earning the nickname "Big Senior Brother."
[Holy shit??? A fully automated pill furnace?!]
As a visitor, Jiang Ruoxu’s younger cousin followed him to Jiang Che’s pill-refining facility.
Of course, Jiang Che’s main target wasn’t Jiang Ruoxu—it was his ring-bound master, Mo Lianxing.
It was time to hit this ungrateful fairy sister with a dose of system-induced awe.
"Master... what’s a fully automated pill furnace?"
The little cousin was utterly baffled.
Before them stood a towering furnace—nothing like the alchemical cauldrons from legends of the Supreme Old Lord. This one looked straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Mo Lianxing was stunned.
[Disciple, this is a fully automated pill furnace. Even in the Nine Heavens, it’s considered strategic equipment. It was invented by a chosen one from the Destiny Society—just input the herbs and adjust the parameters, and it can churn out tens of thousands of pills in one go, massively boosting efficiency...]
Through the soul-nurturing ring, Mo Lianxing gazed at the towering furnace, overwhelmed with melancholy.
[After the automated pill furnace was invented, low-tier alchemists across the Nine Heavens lost their jobs overnight! Though I despise the Destiny Society... I have to admit, they have many formidable figures, especially in the Heaven Pavilion...]
At the mention of the Destiny Society, a trace of fear flickered in Mo Lianxing’s eyes.
"Damn, that’s insane?"
Jiang Ruoxu shuddered involuntarily. He had planned to grow stronger slowly, storm the Nine Heavens, and slaughter every last member of the Destiny Society to avenge his master!
But now... well... maybe the revenge plan could wait.
Beside them, Jiang Che wore a faint smile the entire time.
The "Truth-Seeker" skill was incredibly useful—he had eavesdropped on every encrypted exchange between Jiang Ruoxu and Mo Lianxing.
He’d even heard their inner thoughts loud and clear.
"Little Li, you can all leave now. I have something to discuss..." Jiang Che dismissed all the company staff around him.
Inside the ring, Mo Lianxing exhaled softly, her eyes alight with excitement and anticipation.
Jiang Che had cleared the area—his target was obviously her!
The next moment, her figure drifted out of the soul-nurturing ring.
But this time, Mo Lianxing had changed her attire. She had previously worn a white robe, radiating an ethereal grace.
However, after seeing Jiang Che’s stunningly beautiful master, her Dao heart nearly shattered—that woman also wore white, but her icy, transcendent aura and world-toppling beauty were leagues beyond Mo Lianxing’s reach.
To avoid embarrassment, she switched to a black ancient-style outfit, cinched at the waist with a sash, her hair tied back simply.
The woman bowed slightly upon seeing Jiang Che. "Young Master Jiang!"
Jiang Che nodded lightly. "We meet again, Lady Mo."
Mo Lianxing lifted her gaze, her curiosity about this young man burning fiercely. She wanted nothing more than to tie him up in a dark room, whip him, and force out every last secret in his heart...
But then she remembered Jiang Che’s mysterious and terrifyingly powerful master behind the scenes. Nope, not worth the risk!
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.
Ungrateful woman—after I gave you a top-grade Soul-Nurturing Pill, you still want to lock me up and whip me?
Well... if it’s a fairy sister doing it... maybe it’s not so bad.
"Lady Mo’s soul seems much more stable now."
Mo Lianxing hurriedly replied, "Indeed, all thanks to your Soul-Nurturing Pill, Young Master Jiang. Without it, I might have already returned to the heavens."
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
