"This second thing is about Datang Daily."
The main hall of Li Mansion.
Ma Zhou took out a stack of manuscripts, handed them to Li Zexuan, and said, "Sir, after the publicity you planned before, there have been a lot more people submitting to the "Dahua Jianghu" section recently. The novels submitted by these people have different themes. It's roughly similar to "The Story of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality", Ma Mou picked out two outstanding ones, Sir, what do you think?"
Li Zexuan smiled knowingly. He had been building momentum for the novel of "Datang Daily" for so long, and his hard work was finally in vain. There are indeed truly noble scholars in this world, but they are very rare after all, and most scholars, despite their appearance, They claim to be noble, but if the price offered is enough, they will also rush to fall into the mortal world. This is exactly what Li Zexuan needs. The novel market will only become completely popular if more authors join.
"Haha, not bad, let me take a look! Eh~? Why is this paper so rough?"
Li Zexuan took the manuscript, laughed happily at first, and then frowned.
"Ahem, Sir, those scholars who submitted the manuscript are from relatively poor families and cannot afford good rice paper!"
Ma Zhou explained.
"Oh, I almost ignored this. In this way, Brother Ma, for every novel writer who is accepted by us in the future, every time they send a manuscript, we will return to them two pieces of good new paper for free. This can be considered as a gift. Their welfare!"
Li Zexuan slapped his head and shouted.
This guy is not an expert and doesn’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. He forgets that good rice paper in this era is not something ordinary people can afford.
"Haha, once this method comes out, I'm afraid scholars will be more enthusiastic about submitting articles, right?"
Ma Zhou nodded and smiled.
"That's just what I want. The cost of new paper made in our workshop is not high anyway."
As Li Zexuan spoke, he took the manuscript and started reading it.
This first novel is called "Zhang Xiaohua's Cultivation of Immortality" and the author is Tianwai Fanghua.
Introduction: A young man without spiritual roots, by chance, saved a seriously injured elder in Miaoyun Valley. The elder was grateful and introduced him to the small sect of cultivation in Miaoyun Valley. By chance, he gained the ability to turn waste into treasure, and then embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
Li Zexuan's eyes were a little strange. Why did this novel introduction look so familiar? Just by looking at the introduction, you can tell that it’s all full of routines!
"Chapter 1 Zhang Xiaohua."
"The huge mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist is like an ancient ferocious beast about to wake up at this moment. A series of low rumbling sounds came from high in the sky of the mountain range, and along with this loud sound, there was also the overwhelming sound. Vast energy.
"well!"
A sigh of disappointment came. An ordinary-looking young man with a blank expression on his face failed again. This was already the sixty-ninth time he failed in the past five months. Even though Zhang Xiaohua had a tough mind, he was frustrated and frustrated at this time. Surrounded by despair.
There was a bitter smile on the corner of the young man's mouth. He shook his head and looked at his hands. Are his qualifications really that bad?
Zhang Xiaohua clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
He is seventeen years old this year and has been a disciple of Miaoyun Valley for three years.
Miaoyun Valley is a small sect in the world of cultivation, with nearly a thousand disciples, and Zhang Xiaohua is one of the low-level disciples.
In three years, the senior fellow apprentices who started at the same time as him have already entered the middle stage of agility, and some with outstanding qualifications have even entered the late stage of the fifth level, but he is still lingering on the first level.
............."
Li Zexuan read a few paragraphs and lost interest in continuing. He felt that he could guess the next plot by just reading this. It is estimated that the auction will start wherever the pig's feet go; where is the best place to repair? Weidu is only one level above him; wherever he goes, he is treasure hunting, and in the end, he is the only one who obtains the inherited treasure; no matter which world he goes to, the first few pictures are destined to be misfortunes!
Fuck, these are basically all old stories about cultivating immortals! In modern times, the release of "The Legend of Mortals Cultivation to Immortality" quickly detonated the mortal stream. A large number of follow-up works such as "A Hundred Refiners to Become an Immortal", "Quest for the Immortal Path", "The Promise of Demons", etc. were born, with monsters fighting, upgrading, and Suggestions like treasure hunting and auctioning have been used over and over again, and he is a little tired of watching them now.
"Oh, modern people like to follow the trend, but I didn't expect that the ancient people liked to follow the trend even more! What should I do? I originally thought that someone would write a novel for me to read! Now it seems that there is a long way to go!"
Li Zexuan said with regret in his heart.
"Um, sir, isn't this novel good?"
When Ma Zhou saw Li Zexuan's expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked in confusion, "He picked this out of dozens of novels!"
"Oh, no, no, it's still good. Although this story is somewhat similar to "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality", this person has also imitated it in his own style! This novel will be included in the next issue of the newspaper. Let's go! "Mortal" will be updated at three times a day from now on, so as to copy some space for other novels!"
Li Zexuan came back to his senses and said.
In his previous life, he had been bombarded by various novels. He was already a proper old bookworm, and his vision must be relatively high. However, people in this era did not read many novels. He felt that "The Legend of Zhang Xiaohua's Cultivation of Immortality" was too old. Yes, but that doesn’t mean other people feel the same way!
Just like "A Hundred Refinements to Become an Immortal" in the previous life, although it is a copy of "Mortal", it still attracts a large number of readers.
"Yes, Sir! What about the other novel? That one is actually as good as this one. Do you want to accept it?"
Ma Zhou asked.
"Hire me, I believe in Brother Ma's vision!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said casually.
When he heard Ma Zhou say, "That book is actually as good as this one," he no longer had the intention to open it and take a look.
"Haha, thank you Sir for your trust!"
Ma Zhou thought it was because Li Zexuan trusted him, and he was flattered and said.
"No, by the way, Brother Ma, as we accept more and more novels in the future, the original "Dahua Jianghu" section will definitely not be enough. You must be prepared to separate this section separately. In the future, "Datang Daily" ” will be divided into two independent publications: news and novels!”
Li Zexuan thought for a while and added.
"Yes, sir! Ma will arrange it in advance!"
"Well, didn't you just say there were three things? What is the other one?"
"Back to Sir, the third thing is that there are not enough manuscripts for "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality". Ma knows that Sir is quite busy, but he still hopes that Sir can find time to write more chapters! After all, you said before, The author of Duan Geng doesn’t have a small…ahem, there’s no such thing?”
As Ma Zhou spoke, he almost blurted out those two words, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
"Fuck!"
Li Zexuan almost vomited blood in his heart. Was this shooting himself in the foot?
"Ahem, I've already prepared this. No, here you go, here are the twenty chapters of "Mortal" I wrote this morning!"
