112: Record instructional videos
"Zhang Sheng, I think your plan is very feasible!" Commander Wang's voice carried affirmation.
Zhang Sheng headed straight for the underground command hall, found Commander Wang who was handling official business, and quickly laid out his entire plan.
"The Hassan Incident has sounded an alarm for us!" Zhang Sheng said with a grave tone.
"We must never let the Yao Beasts exploit or even intensify our internal conflicts!
Before conflict erupts, we must take the initiative to work from within to resolve risks—or rather, to detonate and release the risks in advance!"
The core of Zhang Sheng's plan was to "hand out flyers"!
Dispatching Cultivators to escort transport planes deep into areas with poor infrastructure to drop specially made "flyers" from high altitudes.
These were no ordinary flyers. They were printed with basic Cultivation Techniques and Spells translated into local languages.
The most critical among them were the two fundamental Cultivation Techniques, the Heavenly Circulation Method and Primordial Chaos Qi Refining, as well as a vital Spell—the Flight Technique!
Zhang Sheng knew well that the Flight Technique was the key to breaking the deadlock.
As long as the common people mastered the ability to fly, the upper classes could no longer easily bind their movements, and they would naturally pursue their own "light."
China's printing factories were operating at full capacity for this purpose, with specially made waterproof and moisture-proof paper ensuring the durability of the "flyers."
Every booklet would certainly contain the three core components: the Heavenly Circulation Method, Primordial Chaos Qi Refining, and the Flight Technique, supplemented by practical minor Spells like the Fireball Technique and Ice Blade Technique.
Only four months had passed since the descent of the Secret Realm on May 1st.
The popularity of the internet had allowed basic Cultivation Techniques and Spells to spread rapidly in many parts of the world.
However, in vast regions such as the Philippines, Bengal, India, the Middle East, and Africa, electricity was still scarce, let alone the internet.
The Cultivation Techniques and Spells there were tightly controlled by the upper-class powers, and the common people simply had no access to them.
Countless people held only the most basic Primordial Chaos Qi Refining in their hands, forced to become "Spirit Slaves," working day and night to produce Spirit Beads and infuse them with Spiritual Qi for those in power.
"Spirit Beads!"
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration hit Zhang Sheng's mind!
"What if we guide a large number of Cultivators to flood into the Secret Realm and directly refine Spiritual Qi and infuse Spirit Beads inside the Secret Realm?
Brilliant!
In this way, before the Secret Realm is completely wiped out, we can maximize the extraction of the Spiritual Qi resources within it!"
Leaving Commander Wang's office, Zhang Sheng returned to the quiet room in his villa and sat in deep thought.
One person's strength is ultimately small; many hands make light work.
At this stage, wanting to monopolize the Secret Realm's resources was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Moreover, the more powerful Cultivators there were, the higher the output of high-level resources would inevitably be, which would also be more beneficial for himself.
Zhang Sheng turned on the recording function of the Cultivation room.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Sheng, China's Zhang Sheng.
Next, I will combine my personal experience in Cultivation to explain the key points and tricks of the Heavenly Circulation Method for everyone..."
For a long time, Zhang Sheng's schedule had been packed, focusing only on his own Cultivation, and he had never thought about publicly sharing his insights.
In fact, in this internet age, there were quite a few people doing this. Among a hundred thousand people practicing the Fireball Technique, even if only one could reach Perfection, given the huge population base, there were quite a few people who reached Perfection.
The internet was already filled with various instructional courses for Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
Some people even specialized in one Cultivation Technique or Spell, practicing it to Proficient or even Perfection, and then taught their insights through live streaming to earn Spirit Beads.
At this moment, what Zhang Sheng wanted to record was precisely the instructional video for the Heavenly Circulation Method, which would be widely distributed in China.
The Heavenly Circulation Method is the fundamental Cultivation Technique for Refining Essence into Qi and is the Foundation for a Cultivator's Qi Refinement Stage.
To stand out in the Qi Sea Realm and Divine Breath Realm and successfully open the niwan palace, one must practice this technique to Proficient or even higher Realms.
Although everyone's physical conditions and Cultivation Talent varied greatly, Zhang Sheng had already practiced the Heavenly Circulation Method to Perfected State, making his explanations insightful and high-level.
No matter who it was, listening to his explanation would surely yield results.
Those who were originally stuck at the Proficient level would likely advance to Proficient due to key pointers; those who were already in the Proficient Realm would see a greatly increased probability of rising to the Transcendent level.
Once this video spread, the reaction would inevitably be unprecedented.
To accommodate the receptivity and comprehension level of the vast majority of people, Zhang Sheng explained in extreme detail, covering almost every aspect.
Recording this Heavenly Circulation Method instructional video alone took him a full three hours... "What? That's great, Zhang Sheng!" Hou Wu was extremely excited upon receiving the video.
"In fact, we have been looking forward to you making instructional videos for a long time!
But we believed that you must have had more important things to do before. Some people above wanted to mention this, but Principal Wang and I stopped them."
"Song Xian, Lu Zhuo, and the others have made some videos..."
Even over the phone, Zhang Sheng could clearly feel Hou Wu's excitement.
"Dean Hou, I will record other instructional videos later and send them to you," Zhang Sheng added. "However, I hope these videos will not be distributed for free, but the price should not be too high. I'll leave the specific pricing strategy to you."
He knew human nature well—things obtained for free are often not cherished and may even be taken for granted.
Zhang Sheng did not want his good intentions to lead to bad results.
In the end, this instructional video was not sold directly but adopted a pre-sale model.
The pre-sale period was three days, and the pre-sale price was only 100 Spirit Beads—a price that almost every Cultivator could afford.
Upon learning that the creator was Zhang Sheng himself, Cultivators around the world instantly boiled over and began a buying frenzy.
The foreign purchasing channels were not closed, so a large number of foreign Cultivators flooded into the orders.
Choosing pre-sale was precisely because video content is very easy to spread privately.
Since that was the case, it was better to use the pre-sale period to first earn a considerable profit in Spirit Beads.
Ending the call with Dean Hou, Zhang Sheng did not stop and began recording the next instructional video.
Practicing the Heavenly Circulation Method and Refining Essence into Qi cannot be done without the assistance of essence food pills.
In today's China, spirit foods like gold spirit rice are abundant. The raw materials for refining essence food pills are not only not lacking but are even so surplus that they are used to feed livestock.
This time, what he recorded was the "Detailed Explanation of Essence Food Pill Refining."
Although the essence food pill is a non-grade Medicinal Pill, the refining process only requires artificial flames and an artificial Pill Furnace.
The only key step that requires a Cultivator's participation and the use of a Spell is Spirit Tempering—which is itself a minor Spell.
In the video, Zhang Sheng focused on analyzing the essence of Spirit Tempering techniques. Even for Cultivators refining other Medicinal Pills, Spirit Tempering is a universally required step, and watching this instruction would be equally beneficial.
To be more intuitive, Zhang Sheng even went to the Alchemy room personally and recorded the entire process of himself refining essence food pills.
This "Detailed Explanation of Essence Food Pill Refining" instructional video was also released in a pre-sale format.
Unit price: 500 Spirit Beads.
