Building a Sect for a New Era

Lin Yiran is bound to a cultivation sect-building System, but her sect doesn't even have a blade of grass, and the System still expects her to recruit disciples. Lin Yiran's response: No problem, she can talk her way through it!

When potential disciples see the empty land and look terrified, she immediately says, "Only those with high cultivation can see how abundant our sect is."

So the disciples' confusion turns to admiration. They train hard, and finally, when they reach the Golden Core stage, they see the complete, magnificent sect, all gold and splendor. The disciples are deeply moved: "The Sect Master didn't lie to us!"

When she meets powerful cultivators who refuse to join and prefer to live apart from the world, she says with regret, "What a pity our sect is so humble. We can only arrange special lectures for honored masters willing to teach, so they can spread their wisdom and benefit the four corners of the world, letting everyone witness the bearing of a teacher to all under heaven."

The powerful cultivators are instantly tempted. When they learn they have to queue, they rush to sign up. Some who don't get a spot even offer to become elders of Lubei Immortal Sect in exchange for a lecture slot!

When spies come to gather intelligence, she has something to say to them, too:

"A, I hear you're good at acting. Then play a spy who's been caught and is calling for help from the others!"

Real spy A: "...If I act like that, am I exposed or not?"

"B, I hear your original sect treated you really well. Our sect is pretty poor, so all we can give you is ten thousand spirit stones and a private cave dwelling..."

B, who hadn't exactly been treated well at their original sect: "If that's what you're offering, should I even keep spying?"

"C..."

Before she can say anything, C takes the information they've gathered and hands it all over to her, loudly declaring their admiration for Lubei Immortal Sect and their wish to join!

Lin Yiran smiles modestly. "You're too kind, too kind. All our professors and instructors are up-or-out. If you want to stay, you'll have to pass the exam first."

C is baffled: "Huh?"

Then there's the mock exam system that shakes the cultivation world, the volunteer student union, mandatory attendance for all...

The hyper-competitive system brought over from the twenty-first century sends the decent, hardworking cultivators into a frenzy of competition!

When the great sect tournament arrives, the other immortal sects are stunned. What is going on? How did this quiet little Lubei Immortal Sect suddenly get so strong?

Only Lubei Immortal Sect's disciples know: they just want to get perfect scores!

Before long, Lubei Immortal Sect is bustling with visitors. Lin Yiran has just one thing to say to visiting cultivators: "You won't come away empty-handed, not a single one of you!"

#Even a dog that comes to Lubei Immortal Sect has to become a guard dog#

#How the founder built a successful business with nothing but talk#

#Building a sect from scratch, but the scams never stop#

Tips:

1. The female lead is the Sect Master. The main focus is building the sect. Every promise she makes through bluffing and sweet-talking will come true, just with a slight delay.

2. My own take on cultivation. Every setting serves the plot.

3. Education without discrimination. Anyone who wants to cultivate and can cultivate can do so under the female lead. In the end, the sect becomes the greatest sect under heaven.

-- Pre-release: The Socially Anxious One Builds an Underground City in the Apocalypse --

Sheng Zhen is socially anxious. When the apocalypse arrives, she calmly smears zombie blood on herself, preparing for a painless death.

She never expected to open her eyes and find her home collapsed, revealing an underground air-raid shelter.

Sheng Zhen: ?

She looks at the pickaxe in her hand, then at the naturally secluded ruins where she is all alone, and thinks for two seconds.

Unable to resist, she gets to work turning the shelter into a private underground city that only she can enter and leave.

No food? Build a greenhouse for self-service.

No water? Run a pipe down from the surface.

Want the best of everything? Easy. She digs tunnels underground. Not only can she reach department stores, she can even access the old subway station.

The only real nuisance is that zombies keep showing up and gnawing at her defenses.

Sheng Zhen is sick of them, so she decides to build the underground city as two cities. She lives in the inner city. The outer city's circular railway is packed with zombies, and the underground is lined with power-generating equipment.

The zombies can't escape the maze. They wander forever, never die, and generate electricity for free.

Sheng Zhen is having the time of her life in her underground city.

Until one day, the survivors' base distributes maps far and wide, urgently summoning ability users to help with a rescue.

Sheng Yu eats a pumpkin cake and glances at the map she picked up, falling into deep thought.

Something's not right.

Why does this map look so familiar?

Wait. So many people are living under her underground city, and she had no idea?!

**

After being trapped for fifty days, everyone in the Qiushan Laboratory has given up hope.

They have a zombie vaccine and growth serum, but they're still sealed underground with no way out.

Just as their supplies run out and they are on the brink of despair, the powerless laboratory suddenly lights up!

Then the drinking water suddenly turns clean!

And suddenly, there are plants to eat in the pitch-black underground!

They even catch the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.

The researchers encourage one another with this tiny bit of hope. But on the day they prepare to leave, they find a huge arrow on the ground.

"To leave, please go right."

The survivors' base finally gathers supplies and sets out to rescue the people at the research base. But when they arrive, they discover that every zombie in Ningcheng has vanished, replaced by a winding, complicated underground city.

The researchers greet them happily. "You're here? Perfect timing. The third phase of our perpetual motion machine has just gone into production. We'll be able to go to the base and pick everyone up soon!"

The survivor team: "...Weren't you supposed to be in urgent need of rescue?"

When they dig near the underground city, someone asks why they can't keep digging here. Isn't the ground over there obviously looser and better suited for rebuilding?

The researchers look inscrutable. "The owner there doesn't like us disturbing them."

The ability users are stunned, thinking some incredible creature that appeared in the apocalypse must be living there. Then one night, while working on the power station, they see a woman hesitating at the entrance before steeling herself, wiping away the "Mm" written on the ground, and replacing it with:

"You're welcome."

The ability users: ?
