Chapter 140: Billionaire Who Married Five Women Gave Public Lecture to Cultivators and Monks, Inspired Thousands.
Five women, one sex cult—the result was bloody.
Fu Tong watched the destruction of a mountain and a town from a distance. He had just sent his wives to raid Pei Gui Hong's underlings, and they eradicated his sex cult instantly. However, they were sane enough to rescue brainwashed victims whom the cultists had abducted to use for their dual cultivation partners.
No major game character showed up at the cult this time. The purge was so easy that it was anti-climactic.
Fu Tong left the cleanup to Jin Yanxiong and his squads. He returned to the lake and picked a location to grow the Fusang Tree. Carefully, he dug a one-kilometer-deep hole and dropped a seed resembling a coconut. He then covered it with diamond-shaped divine shards and dirt.
With abundant divine shards, it would soon sprout.
'I should make more Fusang Tree's seeds. I have enough strength and resources now.'
However, there was a problem. The resources he needed could only be acquired from his Seed Vendor System, and it only accepted karma coins as a currency. Fu Tong had already discarded them to the Karma River.
He opened his mod system, anyway. Opening the menu, he looked at the currency tab.
Karma Coin: 0
Fu Tong wanted to cry. He wished he had given Jin Yu and his wives more karma coins.
Still, Fu Tong didn't give up. Being a modder, he anticipated some glitches and bugs in his game mod system. He tried purchasing one of the ingredients for the seed, anyway.
CHA-CHING
The Seed Vendor accepted the exchange. However, it took one of his divine shards.
"…Oh."
Fu Tong believed it might be a coincidence. He tried with other items.
CHA-CHING
It worked. The second ingredient entered his inventory.
Fu Tong raised an eyebrow. If it happened once, it was a coincidence. Happened twice, it might be pure luck. But the third time is always a charm. He added another item to his shopping cart and checked out.
CHA-CHING
It was confirmed. Fu Tong let out a long sigh of relief.
"Well, well, well. This will be fun. But my saint-grade cauldron already blew up. I need a lot of those to make more Fusang Seeds."
One problem was solved, and another showed up. Fu Tong slapped his forehead, as he was tired of running into a new bottleneck in his project. At a time like this, he wished Ji Laopan was around to sell him something.
For the moment, Fu Tong could only prepare for the next breakthrough. By strengthening his foundation, skills, and combat experience in his sea of consciousness for a bit longer, he would be ready to tackle the saint realm.
Fu Tong returned to the city and focused on the trivial quests—Giving lectures to the disciples of the sect.
-
Upon returning to the sect, Fu Tong posted an advertisement that he would give a public lecture to the disciples of the Divine Cloud Sect. He also announced that he had already reached the quasi-immortal stage to attract more people and validate his lecture's authenticity.
He wished he could reveal that he was already at the quasi-saint stage. To avoid trouble, he temporarily hid his true strength.
The news quickly circulated among the disciples and the initiates. Some disciple candidates were so envious of the outer and inner disciples that they filed a petition to attend the lecture. This caused the information to leak outside the sect.
A month later, Fu Tong set up a stage in the Divine Cloud Village, where the initiates gathered. As this lecture was not elaborate, he used a spar arena as a stage.
Inner disciples, outer disciples, and the initiates of the sect gathered to attend the lecture. However, because the sect was open to outsiders who came to visit the spirit stone realm, many rogue cultivators and people from other sects mixed in.
Among the crowd, Kong Xuan from the Nine Bell Monastery also brought his disciples over. He and his people attended the lecture as well.
By the time Fu Tong arrived at the scheduled time, 5,000 cultivators had gathered around the stage. He ignored the anticipation and the gazes. He began his introduction.
"My name is Fu Tong, 22 years old, and married. For your information, I am the sole core disciple of Master Li Wushuang and have attained the quasi-immortal stage in my cultivation. It took me four years to reach this far, and I'm here to share my insight and a cultivation method that suits everybody."
Kong Xuan's eyes widened. Every rogue cultivator gasped in shock, while the disciples were excited.
"Four years?! From which cultivation stage?!" One of the rogue cultivators gulped.
Kong Xuan laughed bitterly and told his people. "I saw the young man four years ago. He was indeed a Qi Condensation stage cultivator back then. He has indeed caught up with me."
The comment of Kong Xuan shocked the monks behind him. The others nearby overheard it and broke a cold sweat.
Some of the cultivators had spent a decade growing from the Qi Condensation stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, yet Fu Tong only needed four years to reach the pinnacle of the mortal world. This got them curious.
Fu Tong continued. "This cultivation method is slightly advanced for newbies, so I'll explain every step slowly. Pay attention because I will not repeat myself."
All cultivators closed their mouths. The entire village was dead silence.
And thus, the lecture started.
-
Six hours later, Fu Tong ended the lecture. However, all participants closed their eyes, meditating in a trance. Even Kong Xuan was absorbed in the new Qi circulation method, and he was enlightened.
Sounds of muscle fibers and bones popping muffled. 70% of listeners leveled up while the rest found their foundation solidified.
Quietly, Fu Tong left. He switched his attention to another mission and flew to another village several kilometers away.
Upon arrival, he visited a livestock farm and purchased a pair of chicks, piglets, a cow, and a bull along the way. He tossed them into his farm dimension to complete the mission.

"Oh, right. The alchemy."
Fu Tong smacked his forehead. Being reminded that his cauldrons were all busted, he returned to the sect's contribution hall to get a new alchemy cauldron. However, Zou Laoye didn't have any saint-grade cauldron, let alone a heaven-grade version.
Zou Laoye suggested Fu Tong.
"Why don't you visit the alchemy sect on the East Coast? I heard every member of the local overlord, the Xiao Clan, is either an expert tamer, an array master, or an alchemist. Recently, the princess of their clan has just won the local alchemy tournament and obtained an immortal-grade cauldron from their patriarch, and alchemy is getting more popular in that region. You should be able to find a better alchemy product there."
Fu Tong flinched. He refused to be associated with the Xiao Clan's branch that belonged to Xiao Han Ce. Moreover, Xiao Shashen, an assassin saint, might have already contacted that family branch to be wary of him.
However, the princess of the Xiao Clan was not just a heroine. She was the final boss of the 9th chapter, and she was destined to be the main wife of the 7th protagonist, who was also hailed from the same surname. In fact, the 7th protagonist and the villainess were siblings!
Fu Tong chuckled dryly. He forgot about the Alabama Memes and these siblings.
'Ah, the Sin of Pride, Xiao Ri, and the brocon alchemist Xiao Miao. I forgot about you two.'
