Chapter 1537 - 901: All About Wings [Sovereign of the Nine Skies]

As Zhang Yu revealed each name, Yue Qinglan’s heart surged with emotion because she knew that lying was impossible in this conference room.

"Is everything Zhang Yu said true? He is already deeply cooperating with the Law Realm, Innate, Hun Yuan, and Improvement... How did these people come together?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu was no longer just a newcomer refining void in Yue Qinglan’s eyes, nor even just an individual, but rather a tendril stretching out from a massive conglomerate of interests.

The mere thought of the formidable power contained within this massive interest conglomerate caused Yue Qinglan to shiver.

Even the pharmaceutical companies behind her, which dominate the elixir pill sector, seemed tiny in comparison.

She mused inwardly, "Thank goodness... Thank goodness he doesn’t seem to realize Le Mulan is in my hands."

So, under Zhang Yu’s scrutiny, Yue Qinglan immediately changed her attitude, since, to her, an attitude wasn’t worth much.

Then Yue Qinglan respectfully stated, "My legislative goal is to set a minimum lifespan."

"Minimum lifespan?" Zhang Yu felt surprised; a place like Kunxu, lacking even minimum wage, proposing a minimum lifespan?

Yue Qinglan explained, "Currently throughout Kunxu, lifespan consumption is increasing daily. To ensure the basic operations of companies, protect sect interests, stabilize the employment market, and stimulate economic cycles, cultivators must focus on health and not die before achieving the minimum lifespan."

"For instance, what happens when employees die after only a few years for major Sect Enterprises? Sect Enterprises must ensure that in normal employment conditions, employees have sufficient lifespan to work; the value they create must adequately repay the investment and nurturing provided by the Sect Enterprise."

"Simultaneously, a longer lifespan results in increased consumption, driving internal demand."

Zhang Yu stroked his chin and asked, "Then how is the minimum lifespan guaranteed? Does the company take responsibility?"

Yue Qinglan laughed, "How could it be the company’s responsibility? Everyone is their own first line of defense for their lifespan. Naturally, it’s deducted directly from the employee’s salary with monthly monitoring of physical lifespan. Employees must ensure their natural lifespan reaches the minimum to apply for a job..."

Dammit... Zhang Yu thought bitterly. Just as expected, it’s typical of you Sect beasts to have lousy ideas.

He thought, "Is it because fewer people are willing to seek medical help, with some preferring to become soul cultivators upon dying, so medical groups can’t profit off cultivators and are finding ways to extract more money?"

"Wait..." Zhang Yu’s eyes suddenly shifted, "Could this also be influenced by me?"

Zhan Xian stated, "Of course it’s influenced by us. It is because we improved soul cultivator benefits, leading more living people to give up life and work as soul cultivators, thus inevitably impacting pharmaceutical companies’ business and reducing their revenue."

"Hence, I have always said, Kunxu’s issue isn’t a matter of just one layer or industry. Even changing parts doesn’t matter; Kunxu will dynamically adjust to flatten any beneficial change we bring in other areas..."

...

On the 11th day of legislative training, May 21.

Zhang Yu finally mastered the sixth cultivation technique, advancing the "Thousand Transformations" to (6/10), gaining the first layer effect.

Meanwhile, outside Di Xuan’s cultivation room, a figure arrived gracefully.

"Emperor Daojun, I have some matters to discuss with you alone."

Di Xuan opened the door, looking at the figure standing outside, and asked, "Zhang Yu? What matters do you have?"

The "Zhang Yu" stepped into the cultivation room, slowly closing the door behind, thinking, "Although the plan deviated, forcing me to use [Thousand Transformations] prematurely, assuming Zhang Yu’s identity allows me to more easily achieve my goals."

"Zhang Yu, you truly are my good partner."

"Rest assured, I won’t let your hard work go to waste."

The "Zhang Yu" looked towards Di Xuan, thinking, "[Emperor Commanding Nine Heavens] shall be mine."
