Chapter 840: Lu the Bystander

Publishing a newspaper was a big deal after all, and it wasn't something Lu Yang could decide alone.

Although Lu Yang had already smoothed out every link, he still needed Senior Sister to make the final decision.

"A newspaper? Good idea, I support it." Miss Yun Zhi understood the importance of the newspaper after a little thought. This was an excellent channel for opening up the wisdom of the people and spreading knowledge.

"Does it need Guan Guan Shanhai to use his rubbing ability? I'll go threaten him," Miss Yun Zhi asked, also thinking that Guan Guan Shanhai played a crucial role in the production of the newspaper.

In her impression, Guan Guan Shanhai was a very tough prisoner who wouldn't confess no matter how much he was beaten.

"Guan Guan Shanhai has already agreed to help."

Miss Yun Zhi nodded in surprise: "He's quite sensible. That saves trouble."

"Then have you thought of a name for the newspaper?"

"Considering this is the first issue, I don't know how the common people will react to the content of the newspaper, so it shouldn't be published too quickly. How about tentatively publishing it once a month and naming the newspaper 'Cultivation Monthly'?"

Lu Yang also had to adjust the content in time according to the feedback from the common people to adapt to their needs.

Miss Yun Zhi had no opinion. Her Junior Brother's naming level had always been like this, so there was no need to be harsh.

"By the way, Second Master, can the newspaper be called 'Great Bean Monthly'?" Yun Yun Mengmeng suddenly remembered that she was not only the Third Master of the Immortal-resurrecting lineage but also the Minister of Rites of the Great Bean Dynasty, with the responsibility of propaganda.

"Hey, this name is good," the Immortal Fairy clapped her hands and praised. This was an excellent opportunity to promote their Great Bean Dynasty.

Seeing this, Lu Yang hurriedly bowed with his hands in his sleeves: "The Holy One is working hard for the prosperity of the dynasty, and we ministers admire it very much."

"It's just that the dynasty has just been established. Since ancient times, any force that wants to rise must go through a period of biding its time before raising troops to rebel. Now that the official positions of the Great Bean Dynasty are vacant, manpower is short, and troops are insufficient, promoting the Great Bean Dynasty on a large scale is afraid of being too hasty. This matter still needs careful planning to wait for a good opportunity. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

The Immortal Fairy was dizzy from listening and didn't understand what Lu Yang meant: "Then follow your meaning, Little Yangzi."

Lu Yang was overjoyed and bowed again: "The Holy One is wise."

Miss Yun Zhi, who was listening on the side, wanted to ask what position her Junior Brother held in the Great Bean Dynasty, but was worried that after asking, the Immortal Fairy would remember herself and arrange a position for her, so she had to put aside this doubt for the time being and turned to ask about the newspaper.

"Junior Brother, have you thought about the content of the newspaper?"

Lu Yang already had a general idea about the newspaper on the way here: "I heard that there are still many people who don't even understand the cultivation levels. I'm thinking of introducing knowledge about cultivation in detail in the first edition, and attaching a few lines of Qi-nourishing formulas."

The common people most often came into contact with Qi Condensation stage cultivators. As for the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, they only knew the concept but didn't understand the power and gap of each realm. Since he wanted to tell cultivation stories, he naturally had to let the common people understand the basic concepts of cultivation first.

"Then there are the big events in the cultivation world, such as the Battle of Xitian Temple not long ago."

"If there are any good stories, they can also be serialized in the newspaper..."

Lu Yang explained the functions of each section of the newspaper in detail, and Miss Yun Zhi nodded frequently. It seemed that her Junior Brother had thought about this matter carefully.

Yun Yun Mengmeng also looked at Lu Yang with admiration. The Second Master was always thoughtful, and she couldn't think of so many things.

Subsequently, Lu Yang found Senior Brother Ji Hongwen, the eldest disciple of the Third Elder. Senior Brother Ji Hongwen specialized in painting, and Lu Yang asked him to design the layout of the newspaper.

Senior Brother Ji Hongwen readily agreed.

"Oh, by the way, leave a gap in the middle of the newspaper. I'll use it for advertising for Junior Sister Tao," Lu Yang made a small request.

Anyway, this was the first edition of the newspaper, and no one else was looking for him to advertise, so it was better to benefit his own people.

The production process of the newspaper was roughly cleared. The problem Lu Yang was facing now was how to describe the Battle of Xitian Temple fairly and objectively without revealing his identity.

Lu Yang had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution: "By the way, the movement of the battle was so big at that time that the people of Xitian City saw the battle process. We can describe it from the perspective of a bystander. Just pretend to interview yourself."

Lu Yang's thoughts flowed like a spring, and he soon wrote a report on the Battle of Xitian Temple, and the other sections also had content to supplement.

Afterwards, he handed the original version of the newspaper to Guan Guan Shanhai. Guan Guan Shanhai was worthy of being the holder of the Dao Fruit of Rubbing. In the blink of an eye, he copied millions of copies of the newspaper, and even the voice playback formation was copied together, greatly reducing the production cost of the newspaper.

Reducing production costs and lowering the price of the newspaper made it affordable for mortals.

Lu Yang didn't publish the newspaper for profit, but for propaganda.

Wendao Sect disciples sold the first edition of "Cultivation Monthly" to all parts of Great Xia through space channels.

"... According to the investigation, at the beginning of this Battle of Xitian Temple, there were two parties involved. One was the Divine Lord of Sichen of Great Gan, and the other's identity is a mystery. This newspaper speculates from a few words that he is suspected to be an ancient mysterious immortal, who was inconvenient to make a move."

"According to bystander Lu, the mysterious immortal originally wanted to spare the Divine Lord of Sichen's life, but the Divine Lord of Sichen provoked the mysterious immortal many times after seeing him, and questioned the mysterious immortal's cultural level, asking if the mysterious immortal knew how to write."

"The mysterious immortal had no choice but to make a move, and the two sides fought."

"The mysterious immortal's Dao method was heaven-defying, and his sword path was profound. The Divine Lord of Sichen was not the mysterious immortal's opponent and was defeated in an instant. The mysterious immortal ordered him to kneel, and the Divine Lord of Sichen obeyed and begged for mercy."

"The clone of the Central Heavenly Emperor appeared, not asking who was right or wrong, and said directly, 'The Divine Lord of Sichen did wrong,' hoping that the mysterious immortal could spare the Divine Lord of Sichen's life."

"Afterwards, the clone of the Central Heavenly Emperor believed that although the mysterious immortal was entangled in karma and could not use his full strength, he was still powerful, and he was not sure if he was an opponent."

"In order to fight the mysterious immortal, the Emperor's clone devoured the Divine Lord of Sichen, causing the Divine Lord of Sichen's life and death to be unknown, and he was nowhere to be seen after the battle ended."

"During the battle between the mysterious immortal and the Emperor's clone, an explosion occurred for unknown reasons. The scene was too chaotic to judge which side caused the explosion. According to bystander Lu, he heard the Emperor's clone laughing loudly in the explosion, shouting words like 'self-destruct'."

"After the explosion, the Xitian Temple turned into ruins, the Emperor's clone disappeared, and the mysterious immortal left gracefully."

"This newspaper's post-battle investigation found that the Divine Lord of Sichen had been lurking in the Xitian Temple for over a hundred years, hiding only beside a little novice monk. It is not yet clear whether he has any special hobbies."

Inside the Xiangong, the Central Heavenly Emperor, sitting on the Immortal Throne, held the newspaper he had just obtained and read it word by word, trembling with anger. He hadn't been this angry for a long time.

The Central Heavenly Emperor gritted his teeth, tore the newspaper to pieces, slapped the Immortal Throne angrily, and the angry voice echoed in the Xiangong.
