Chapter 197: The Seeds of Love

"It is confirmed that the Justice Sect is a tech sect."

"Poor Shalu Group, they even wanted to publish a newspaper to compete with the Beggar Sect! How can they even compare? The Beggar Sect has even brought out a printing press."

"And you still say Lin Bai isn't the CEO's own son?"

"I tolerated the recording pen and digital camera before, but what the hell is a large printing press? What does this thing use for power, what does it use for ink?"

"It's a prop in a game, and you're questioning the energy source? Players in there sit on a talisman and fly; what principle do you think that relies on?"

……

A large printing press once again caused the screen to be flooded with comments.

However, the offline audience had matured quite a bit, merely laughing and cursing a few times in the comments.

With the foreshadowing of the recording pen and digital camera, they were truly unfazed by the appearance of a printing press!

The most critical point was that reporting it on the forums was useless; the Game Company had long since made its stance clear: everything inside the game was normal.

If you think it's abnormal, that's your problem...

Play if you want, get lost if you don't.

If you have the ability, go ahead and beat Lin Bai to death.

The first virtual reality game is just this arrogant!

……

"Shopkeeper Lin, does the Justice Sect have a binding machine or a paper cutter?" Having regained his senses, 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 withdrew his gaze from the printing press and asked, pushing his luck.

"Get the Justice Weekly running well, and you'll have whatever you need!" Lin Bai smiled. "This issue of the weekly was done well; the sect's ancestor specially sent this machine over to reward us."

"You really have them?" 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 was stunned and looked at Lin Bai in confusion. "Does the Justice Sect have CNC machine tools?"

"Within the Justice Sect, there are countless Dharma Treasures; I don't really know exactly what we have. But since you've mentioned these things, I suppose we must have them!"

Lin Bai glanced at him, not caring at all whether he was fishing for information. The Love Stick had worked on Lao Mi, and the game officials hadn't reacted, so what did he have to fear? As long as it served his interests, he could play however he wanted; the Game Company and the system would clean up after him...

"Shopkeeper Lin, could you contact your sect and have them send over more machines?" Seeing the printer, 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 truly saw the hope of rising up in the game; this was a crushing victory brought by technology!

"I lack the ability to contact my sect." Lin Bai shook his head. "This time, my master sent the printing press because the Justice Weekly performed a meritorious service. Using the weekly to promote the Law of Cultivation is far more efficient than word of mouth. If we continue to work hard and keep promoting the method of Law Cultivation, the sect should send more Dharma Treasures for us to use."

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Lin, I will definitely carry forward the Justice Weekly." 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 immediately became excited and patted his chest.

"The second issue of the Justice Weekly was rushed. I know you all worked hard and did your best, but it's not enough." Lin Bai looked at the players in the editorial department and their confused gazes, saying, "The promotion of the Love Dao is too crude; it can't resonate with the world, let alone inspire imitation."

"Resonate?" 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 was stunned.

"Yes, the story is too thin." Lin Bai smiled. "Of course, it might also be because the time was too short and the space was limited. Therefore, after the sect sent the printing press, I decided to start a new special issue on Law Cultivation, specifically to promote the infusion of the Great Dao of Love."

"Shopkeeper Lin, please speak." 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 said.

Lin Bai took out the cards of Qingyu and Huaxi Furen and released the two of them.

After more than a day, their injuries had automatically healed inside the cards, and they were completely unscathed upon coming out.

Influenced by the Moon Elder Red Thread, the moment they were released, their hands clasped together, and the looks they exchanged were so sweet they could make one's teeth ache.

……

"The world might not be able to accept the love between Daoxu Zhenren and Pei Yanzong, so I have decided to focus on the couple Qingyu and Huaxi, letting the world feel the sincerity of love from them, that spirit of being together despite all obstacles." Lin Bai looked at Qingyu and Huaxi and smiled.

"Sect Leader, what are you doing?" Qingyu and Huaxi had stayed in the cards for too long and had no idea what had happened outside, so they asked, completely bewildered.

"Helping you two gather the Faith of the world to cultivate the Love Dao." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Qingyu and Huaxi looked at each other and simultaneously saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Qingyu smiled awkwardly: "Sect Leader, you knew all along!"

"Sect Leader, don't blame Qingyu, it was my idea." The color drained from Huaxi Furen's face as she admitted her fault immediately.

"I didn't say you were wrong." Lin Bai glanced at them and said, "Before, I said you were Puppets and unable to practice Law Cultivation because I had selfish motives, fearing you would break free from my control. But later I discovered that this selfishness hindered my own cultivation, so I decided to fulfill your wishes. If you can comprehend the Great Dao of Love, it is your own destiny, and for me, it counts as a Merit."

"Thank you, Sect Leader." The two of them were overjoyed and said in unison.

"Of course, there is another reason. Law Cultivation is difficult, and most people give up after encountering the slightest setback. I also hope that through your example, you can set a model for the world." Lin Bai said.

"It is only right." Qingyu's face flushed with excitement. "Sect Leader, you just said that Law Cultivation requires Faith?"

"There is a theory about Faith in the Justice Sect's seven ancestors' deductions regarding the Law. Whether it is effective has not been verified, but we might as well try; it won't be any loss to you anyway." Lin Bai laughed.

"We are willing to follow Sect Leader Lin's arrangements." The two of them said in unison.

That Lin Bai was willing to help them practice the Love Dao was already a tremendous favor. What did it matter if it hadn't been verified? If they could cultivate the Great Dao and shake off their status as Puppets, anything was worth it!

"Good." Lin Bai nodded. "Next, you two will stay in the editorial department and assist them in completing the Love Special Issue of the Justice Weekly. I believe that after this promotion, your love story will spread throughout the world and you will become a fairy couple envied by all."

"Thank you, Sect Leader." Qingyu thanked him again.

The emotions fed back from Qingyu were positive. Lin Bai smiled slightly, pretending not to hear the players' whispers about the Love Dao, and said to 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】: "Paparazzo, I've read the tragic love story you wrote about Qingyu and the other, but that's just a framework; it can't make people resonate. We need to fill in some details to make the story three-dimensional and alluring..."

"Shopkeeper Lin, please tell me, I'm listening." 【Xianxia's Number One Paparazzo】 said.

"A Righteous Sect expert and a disciple of an evil sect—how they met, how they became involved, and how they fell in love at first sight—all need to be redesigned..."

Looking at the players in the editorial department, Lin Bai brought up love stories like Romeo and Juliet, The Romance of the West Chamber, Dong Yong and the Seventh Fairy, Titanic, and so on.

Combining them with the background of the Xianxia World, he mixed them together and blended them into a brand new story.

During Qingyu's trial, he stumbled upon a female disciple of the Profound Nether Sect bathing; in the dreamlike pool, the beauty emerged from the water, that momentary shyness...

Then later, the painful separation due to the other's status, the lovesickness and torment in their respective sects;

Using a trusted disciple to pass messages, and the punishment after being discovered;

And finally, how the two broke through layer upon layer of obstacles, betrayed their sects, and finally became Dao companions...

……

The story was full of ups and downs, with sweetness, bitterness, separation, lovesickness, and a willingness to die for each other...

This was a truly soul-crushing piece of literature.

The players and Qingyu both listened, stunned.

The little fox had tears in her eyes; even though she had witnessed with her own eyes how Qingyu and Huaxi got together, she was still moved to tears by this heart-rending love story.

Qingyu and Huaxi Furen gazed at each other affectionately.

Lady Huaxi said softly, "Yulang, how wonderful it would be if these stories really happened to the two of us!"

Qingyu's hand gently stroked Huaxi Furen's cheek: "Xiaohua, do not envy them; I will do even better than the people in the stories..."

"Good fellow, I never expected Sect Leader Lin to be such a master at weaving stories. If this were made into a movie, the box office would certainly not be low. Compared to Sect Leader Lin's stories, the stories from those editors at Justice Weekly are simply dog shit."

"I do not wish to see you shed tears, unless it is for happiness."

"The deepest love in the world is nothing more than, after parting, living my life to become like you."

"I would rather die tomorrow than attain the Golden Immortal realm, only to not know you..."

"In the face of love, I am but a little girl, only wanting to stand before the man I love and wait for him to love me."

"Sentences that could make one sick with sweetness come so easily; he is truly a man who has warmed an entire city with sweet nothings!"

"To be able to weave such stories, Sect Leader Lin must also be a delicate person at heart. From now on, I am his fan. I want to go into the game to love him and cultivate the Love Dao with him; no one is to fight me for it."

"That is about how it is. You are the professionals; you can polish it further." Lin Bai looked around at everyone and smiled modestly, "Gouzai, keep the two of them here to cooperate with you. Use the camera to take many sweet photos of them as illustrations for the story."

"Apply makeup where needed, find suitable locations where needed, and if you need the cooperation of Huilong Temple, make them cooperate. If anyone refuses to cooperate, come find me. Remember to add those beautiful phrases to the illustrations. Now that we have the Color Printer, we must win by being extraordinary and strive to make them an overnight success..."

"I understand." 【Number One Immortal Cultivation Paparazzo】 felt his throat go dry, once again realizing the terror of Lin Bai. Being with him, one could learn new things at every moment!

"Keep Xiaobai here; for illustration scenes like secret letters being passed, you can use her." Lin Bai pulled the little fox out from his embrace, "Xiaobai has a high level of beauty and will surely drive more sales. Our target customers are those young boys and girls who yearn for love; through this issue of the story, we must plant the seeds of love in everyone's heart..."
