Cultivation, planning, and Opening the Theater.
Li Yan left the Main hall and asked Ned.
"How to Cultivate?"
Ned was puzzled then remembered that his lazy host was asking about cultivating, he became energetic in a moment and spoke with extreme patience.
[Host, Your body is made of Heavenly energies and 6 different Gods have poured their powers in you, You just need to focus on thinking of collecting Spiritual elements from air into your body and you can start cultivating!]
Li Yan nodded and did just as Ned said and without him even fully focusing, the spiritual energy in the air started to move inside his meridians and follow through his body.
Li Yan felt the sensation of warm current following through his body and collecting on his third eye spot and became confused.
"Hey, Why is my Qi collecting on my third eye?"
Ned jumped up and down on his head and was shocked, He just said how to cultivate and he did? Is it so easy? Or...I think that those Gods above were too worried that his Master will be unable to properly cultivate and gave him divine Roots?! ...Why do I feel that I hit the nail??
Ned suspiciously asked.
[Are you cultivating?]
Li Yan was enjoying the comfortable and tickly feeling and answered in hum.
Ned knew he was right, His creators were too worried and gave his host Divine roots so that when he wants he can collect Qi...What a beloved Son of Heaven!!
Li Yan kept walking and cultivating and suddenly felt the current condensing in his third eye spot then suddenly following to his Dantian and filling it to the brim, Li Yan kept walking and then stopped suddenly.
Ned asked for his sudden stop.
[You alright Host?]
"I think I broke through."
[...WHAT?!?!!! You...You...You broke through in just 18 minutes?!!]
What monster!!! Ned was so shocked that he went from blue ball of light to grey ball of light.
Li Yan felt that the flow of energy in his body became easier and he kept doing it.
After reaching his room, Li Yan felt hungry and ate the fruits from his table. After eating his fill, he threw Ned from his head to his bed and thought about what to create and make money from.
Soaps and Shampo must be made for himself and his sect elders no matter what, A Modern Comb and Hair Dryer...hair Dryer...Hair Dryer? Can I create that without electricity?
No, wait maybe if I change the Hair Dryer to battery function? And change that Battery to a Spiritual Stone of thunder element? Maybe this can work.
But this much won't be enough to get much money, He needs more stuff to sell.
Li Yan thought and then got another excellent idea, Women! Ahem, Cosmetics! In every era with women, Cosmetics and skincare products shine the most!!
And Medicine, No matter what time, There is always disease with no cure.
What more can be created in a short time but get money? huh...Troupes...Ah no! Plays!
Yes, that's it! He should get the starting fund from his plays and then make some Modern Devices and Auction them at a high price!
If he has this much funds, Then he can even create restaurants and make Pizza and Burgers! These small things will surely get much money to get some slaves to become servants in the sect.
And he needs to get clothes for his use and make some for wedding purposes, Huh...Clothes!! He can redesign these ancient robes into a Modern type of Robes!
The Middle Continent is still not under any power's control yet the Whole Orid's (The Name of this World) power is here trying to get this peace of land, Hehehe, It's time to get rich!
Li Yan just decided what to do and then he started to work on ideas.
His body kept circulating Qi on its own, While Li Yan walked around The whole sect and finally got to the treasury. The treasury was extremely empty, With only a bit of stuff in it.
Li Yan ignored other things and went to the box at the end of the room. He opened it and got the Gold taels he was looking for. Though the Money was really low, he could make do with it. After counting it, there were only 700 GT(Gold taels).
Li Yan simply went out of the sect, Taking along the still Offline Ned. He sat on the Magic equipment which was a flying Bird made of paper and went to Nearest City from Sect while still remembering the way.
Ned soon got Blue again and was shocked to death when he saw that they were flying.
[*@* I...feel...dizzy~]
Li Yan Chuckled when he saw the emoji on Ned's blue face and said.
"Quite an emotional System you are."
[*@*]
Li Yan saw that Ned was trying to vomit but didn't have the stomach nor the mouth to do so, He happily ignored him.
After arriving at the city, Ned revived and asked curiously.
[Why are we here?]
Li Yan had his use for Ned and that's why he brought him out.
"You will know soon, Tell me where are those theaters or troupes which sell actors."
[Huh? What will you do with them?]
"Do what is said, hurry up!"
Ned was curious but also a Good System, He immediately opened the navigational system and Li Yan arrived in a brothel type of place.
The theater was empty and there was a wooden sign in front of the theater.
-Troupe on Sale! Whole Team of Actors!
Li Yan went inside and got to meet the manager, He looked at the small group of children, teenagers, and even Old people. They were all Actors. All had good faces and could be used.
He bargained the price from 100 to 70 Gold Taels.
When he brought the team of 20 people to an abandoned courtyard, He first gave them money to buy food and daily necessities for a month in 30 Gold taels which was a huge amount because even 1 Gold Tael could feed them for a month but Li Yan wanted a perfect team!
After that Li Yan bought a large courtyard for only 50 Gold Taels. Then he gave money to his newly acquired people to get chairs and curtains to decorate the theater.
Then with help of Ned, Li Yan went to the black market and bought 7 people who could cook. And one person good at management. With another 8 people, He bought another round of daily stuff used by them. By night he cooked and slept in the same courtyard.
Next Morning he gave the leader of the Acting team three scripts. The team will divide it into three and the theater will open at three different times a day.
The team was smoothly divided under the guidance of the Team Leader. Li Yan gave 20 Gold Taels to the management person and said to advertise the Opening of his 'Grand Epoch Theater' in a week.
Then he gave 7 recipes from Modern Chinese and Korean dishes and gave them to 7 chefs to Master. After handling everything, Li Yan had left only 500 Gold taels, He went back to the sect and once again slept.
This time Ned didn't wake him up, He was quite surprised by how smoothly everything went and how his lazy master actually opened a theater. He was almost crying with tears of happiness, Like an old father whose bear child has finally grown up.
He quietly went and caught some rabbits and made rabbit soup and rabbit roast and went to Li Yan to let him eat.
Li Yan broke through once again in the coming 6 days and then again left the Sect after lazing around for 6 days. Arriving at the Courtyard, he saw that his Acting team was extremely relaxed and filled with confidence, Li Yan smirked. It seems money is coming soon.
It may be because Li Yan's luck is too much or people had nothing to do or the tickets were just too cheap but when the Morning play's time came, The theater was filled. One ticket was 50 copper coins, and 100 copper equal 1 silver Tael and 100 silver taels equal to 1 Gold tael. There were 200 seats in the theater, So 100 silver taels were easily collected meaning 1 Gold tael!!
When the show started people were so focused that they even forgot that they came here to mock and enjoy mocking the actors.
The Play was collected from those Romance Novels, Where MC is reborn for revenge, and then Ml the Golden thigh falls in love with FL, They face-slap and have a happy ending.
Li Yan called this script, 'Romantic Revenge.' Simple!
The play started with the Heroine dying and cursing the people who gave her the poison and while closing her eyes prayed to be able to get her revenge. When She wakes up, she returns to the year before her death. Surprised yet happy, She changes her choices and Marries the Young Master who was called the Trash of a famous family, Because she knew in half a year, This young master would walk over all Busines in their region. Then starts the Comedic part of the relationship between FL and ML. The two first hate each other, then FL help ML twice and the two get closer as friends and face-slap enemies together, A time skip occurs and ML get healed from whatever sickness, and then FL takes revenge on their enemies without resorting to violence, They use schemes and call each other snakes with a smiling face at the End of the Show. There was no such thing as a kiss or romantic endeavors, Simple and Comedic style. Which was very new to these cultivating Mortals.
In the end, people left the theater in a daze and then remembered there is a noon play and a night play!!!
And like this at noon there was another houseful, The people even opened theater door and flocked together to watch, Some Martial Artist sat on the roof to watch, Like this, they had another hefty income at noon. The Play at Noon was different, The Actors were also different.
This Time it was Tragedy and comedy together.
It was a suspense-style comedy, Li Yan named it 'Lovely Ghost.'
A young boy dies under the abuse of his father and then becomes a ghost, He becomes lonely and wanted to have friends and like this whoever went to buy that house, trapped their Souls and killed them to have friends but those souls didn't have enough resentment and faded away quickly. Like this, the young boy kept killing to play and the CourtYard became Haunted. Then a Fake Immortal comes to cleanse the place but a Little Girl with two of her friends also sneaks inside with the That Fake Guy, The Ghost Boy falls in love with that Fake Immortal and didn't want to kill him. The Little Girl becomes his target but in a funny way the Fake Immortal saves the little Girl and the little also falls for the Fake Guy, Like this, the comedy part starts where the Ghost Boy and Little Girl compete for the affection of the dense Fake Immortal, At the End the Fake Immortal leaves the courtyard because he was bored of having no one around to rip off Money from. The Ghost boy and Little Girl become sad and lonely and the two spend years together and in the End Scene the Ghost boy kisses the now Old Girl and says, 'In my next life, I will be sure to make you love me too.'
The Show Ends and people were crying when they left. They scolded the scriptwriter for making it so bad, The Young Girls especially hated the fake Immortal.
Then came the night show, Which was Cultivation type.
