Chapter 18
The Seven Birds Sect can only be regarded as a third-rate sect in the huge Tianyuan Continent, and its population has never been very prosperous.
The main reason is that there are too few monks who choose to control beasts.
The beast cultivator does not have the handsomeness and destructive power of the sword cultivator, does not have the physical strength and defense of the body cultivator, and is not as profitable as the talisman cultivator.
Moreover, the threshold for becoming a beast cultivator is still high. The stronger the beast you control, the stronger you will be. If you don't have a suitable beast master, you won't even be able to defeat alchemy cultivators of the same level.
Because of this, the entire Seven Bird Sect has not recruited a new disciple for ten years. If it continues like this, the Seven Bird Sect may become the first sect in the entire Tianyuan Continent to die out because it cannot recruit any disciples.
When Zhou Chen, the second elder of Qiqin Sect, learned about the existence of mobile phones and Douyin from Ling Yun, a flash of inspiration immediately flashed in his mind.
Half an hour later, a group of people from Qiqinmen rode Zhou Chen's Red Owl to the nearest Bluestone City.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of Qingshi City, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. Looking at the entire street, only 7 out of 10 people were holding mobile phones in their hands, scrolling as they walked, with expressions on their faces from time to time. Also shows various expressions.
"Hey, Fairy Yuyin has updated her video again. Her dance in this video is really beautiful."
"Tch! If you ask me, Lily Fairy is a human character."
"Two fellow Taoists, you are still young. When you are a few hundred years older, you will know that Fairy Yaoguang is the real best."
"I don't know what the clothes Fairy Liyue is wearing are called. I really want to buy one for my Taoist companion to wear."
"It seems to be called cheongsam."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Tianfu Sect is really not a thing today. The outer disciples only have 300 spirit stones a month as subsidy, and their outer elders even deduct half of it. What a beast, if it weren't for this outer disciple of Tianfu Sect. The disciple sent a video to accuse, but I don’t know how long this matter will be kept secret.”
"Have you also seen this video? I wanted to take the entrance test of Tianfu Sect yesterday, but after watching this video, I didn't dare to go."
"Yes, Douyin is really convenient. You can know things thousands of miles away at once."
"It's quite good. Yesterday, I saw a Douyin message and saw my Taoist monk shopping with someone else. If it hadn't been for Douyin, I wouldn't have known how long I would have been kept secret."
...
Looking at the expressions of the monks and listening to their verbal discussions, Zhou Chen's expression changed again and again, and his understanding of Douyin increased a little.
And at this moment, a casual cultivator who only had Qi refining skills walked towards them with a smile on his face.
"Seniors, may I ask, are you here to buy mobile phones?"
As soon as these words came out, several people from Qiqinmen, including Ling Yun, were stunned on the spot.
"How do you know?" Ling Yun asked with some confusion.
The Qi Refining casual cultivator chuckled. "Now, 8 out of 10 non-local monks who come to Bluestone City come here to buy mobile phones. If you don't have a mobile phone in your hand when you walk, you definitely don't have a mobile phone."
"That's it." Several people suddenly realized.
"Is mobile phone really so popular nowadays?" Ling Yun asked again.
"Of course, I don't know about other places, but in this Bluestone City, you would be embarrassed to say hello to others if you don't have a mobile phone."
"Except for those seniors who have been in seclusion all year round, mobile phones are now becoming popular even in the City Lord's Mansion."
Hearing his words, Ling Yun and others were shocked again.
"This mobile phone has only been around for a few days, so why has it become popular so quickly?"
"You don't understand this." As he spoke, the Qi Refining Cultivator took out his mobile phone.
"I won't talk about anything else, just this Douyin short video. Just by scrolling through the short video, you can know what is happening everywhere in Tianyuan Continent."
As he spoke, he swiped his finger upwards, and then a female cultivator wearing a JK uniform appeared on the screen, dancing to the loud music.
"Sorry, I marked the wrong one. It's not this one." After an awkward smile, Qi Lianxiu opened his favorites.
There are all kinds of dance videos in it, except for the first video.
"Look, this is what I just found. A casual cultivator took a photo of an ancient monk born in a cave in Jiaolong Bay in the South China Sea."
"In the past, it would have taken several days for those of us who were thousands of miles away to know this kind of news. But now with Douyin, we can know it immediately."
After saying that, he opened the hot list again and clicked on a video.
In the video, two monks dressed in different costumes are fighting.
"This is also what happened just now. I heard that people from the Hunyuan Sect and the Taiji Sect got into a fight over the recruitment of disciples. The heads of both sides were killed, and several foundation-building monks died on the spot."
Under his demonstration, the powerful function of Douyin was undoubtedly revealed.
"Of course, in addition to being able to learn about major events happening everywhere, the most important thing is that you can also communicate with other monks through Douyin from a distance. You can send photos and videos. No matter how far apart you are, there will be no connection. light."
After the introduction, the Qi Refining Cultivator suddenly changed the subject, and then took out a large wooden box from his storage bag.
As the lid of the box opened, dozens of neatly stacked mobile phones were revealed in front of Ling Yun and others.
"Guys, please buy one. The mobile phones I have here are all officially authorized by Sihai Pavilion. There is also their authorization agreement here. Every one of them is officially authentic."
"And if you buy a mobile phone, I will give you a matching mobile phone case. This mobile phone case is made of green rhinoceros leather. It is strong and durable. It also has various customized patterns on it and can even be engraved."
Only then did Ling Yun and the others finally understand why this Qi Refining casual cultivator worked so hard to introduce him. It took him a long time to do it, but it turned out that he was just trying to sell goods.
After just thinking for a moment, Zhou Chen nodded.
"In that case, just bring me 7 mobile phones."
As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to buy seven copies, the Qi Refining Cultivator who transformed into a hawker burst into laughter on the spot.
"Okay!"
"Wait a moment, I'll pack it for you right now."
While talking, he took out 7 more exquisite wooden boxes from the storage bag, and then put 7 mobile phones into the wooden boxes one after another.
"Chenghui, there are 140 spirit stones in total!"
Upon hearing this number, Zhou Chen took out 140 spirit stones from the storage bag without even thinking, and handed them directly into the hands of the vendor.
Ling Yun on the side showed a hesitant expression when he saw this.
"Hey, this senior wants to say that my sales are more expensive than Sihaige's, right? It's like this now. Sihaige only sells 100,000 units a day, and the rest are all given to us dealers."
"The 100,000 units in Sihai Pavilion have been bought by scalpers a long time ago. Each unit will cost you at least 100 spirit stones. We dealers sell them quite cheaply."
After saying that, he closed his box and walked towards the other monks who had just entered the city.
At the same time, Zhou Chen, who got the mobile phone, also began to study it seriously.
With Ling Yun's introduction and his own understanding, he quickly made a decision.
"Ling Yun, what do you think about us creating a video account like Huolong Zhenren?"
