Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 289 - 238: Primordial Sect’s Development Path

After carefully studying the rules for establishing a sect in Ten Immortals City, Su Yuan furrowed his brows.

The rules didn't impose a cultivation restriction on the sect leader.

Even in the most prosperous Ten Immortals City of the Blue Star Federation, there wasn't a luxury of setting a Golden Core cultivation requirement for entrepreneurs.

Most of the small to medium-sized sect leaders find that having Foundation Establishment cultivation suffices.

As a Foundation Establishment student of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Su Yuan fully met this requirement.

As for the qualifications for establishing a sect, the Primordial Sect had already sorted that out while in Taihua City.

The Primordial Sect was definitely a legal and compliant Demon Sect registered by the Blue Star Federation.

Setting up headquarters in Ten Immortals City only needed a suitable office location.

While Su Yuan couldn't compare with the wealthy folks of Ten Immortals City, he could still afford to rent a few hundred square meters of office space temporarily.

But the problem was... what's the use of just renting a floor of office space?

Such a sect looked like the kind that would invariably fold within three years.

When recruiting, applicants might not even be able to find where the sect's main gate is.

Su Yuan's goal was to be a subsidiary sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, so just getting by was absolutely not enough.

After studying the scale and main business of many top ten subsidiary sects, he roughly concluded three standards required to become a top ten subsidiary sect.

First: Have its own core technology, and this technology must assist one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Second: Set the sect headquarters in Ten Immortals City.

Third: Achieve a leading standard in a specific niche, with a market share of over 30%.

The first and second standards are self-explanatory, to ensure that subsidiary sects possess adequate core competitiveness and don't collapse too quickly.

But that third standard of market share left Su Yuan speechless.

A so-called niche market could refer to the market share of a single product.

For example, selling toothbrushes or lighters, there's not much technical content in making them.

But to exceed a 30% market share in that field is extremely difficult.

You either rely on extreme cost control to boost volume, or have a core technology that other competitors absolutely cannot match and accumulate a reputation over time.

Su Yuan couldn't achieve extreme cost control, didn't have any core technology for making toothbrushes and lighters, nor did he have the patience to build a reputation for a decade or longer.

Moreover, even if low-end manufacturing was done well, it wouldn't catch the eye of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Therefore, Su Yuan quickly realized he absolutely couldn't compete with established industries.

He had to find an emerging industry where he could use his core technology, and while the industry had yet to develop, enter quickly to become the leader.

Only in this way could he complete the above three standards in a few months and gain the chance to become a subsidiary sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

This wasn't just for the sake of a pesky system task, but also for the better development of the Primordial Sect.

A subsidiary sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects was akin to a supply chain manufacturer for Apple in a past life. Once connected, the market value would soar with countless hidden benefits.

In the Blue Star Federation, essentially ruled by the Ten Great Immortal Sects, this situation was even more pronounced.

Many people even divided sects below the Ten Great Immortal Sects into two categories.

One is the subsidiary sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, the other is everything else.

If you don't cling to a big thigh, how can the Primordial Sect develop?

But the question is, how could he find an emerging industry that could be widely popular and take off within a few months?

Su Yuan was truly at a loss.

Of all the business within the Primordial Sect, the one closest to emerging industry standards was actually the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet.

This puppet was indeed a masterpiece of Su Yuan's various core technology integrations.

The path of puppetry had many niche fields.

Sparring puppets, teaching puppets, and the popular biology teacher-style puppets.

Which category did the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet fall into?

Clearly it was the third kind of 18+ puppet.

But the question was, although mass-producing Vermilion Face White Bone Puppets wasn't difficult, should they be equipped with intelligence when mass-produced and sold?

Without intelligence, how could the over one-million production cost compete with similar products?

If equipped with intelligence, it might face various moral condemnations, right? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Moreover, this 18+ entertainment industry didn't connect with any of the Ten Great Immortal Sects!

"Tsk, I just said the moral standards of the Blue Star Federation are a bit too high!"

"If the Joyful Union Sect also became one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, then the Primordial Sect could definitely become a strategic partner!"

Su Yuan tossed his phone aside, spread-eagled on the bed, rather helpless.

And just as Su Yuan was at his wit's end, the dormitory doorbell suddenly rang.

Su Yuan waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, remotely unlocking the electronic lock.

Then, a familiar footstep approached, and the room door opened with a swish.

Su Yuan looked up to see the white-haired Lolita pouncing over like a little tiger, crashing into Su Yuan's arms.

"Yuxi, why aren't you staying in your room properly? What are you running around for?"

Su Yuan patted the white-haired Lolita's little head.

Taibai Yuxi raised her little face, speaking mysteriously:

"Brother Su Yuan, there are quite a few evil Demonic Qi gathering spots inside Ten Immortals City. Do you want to come take a look with me?"

Su Yuan's heart couldn't help but stir.

He had witnessed Taibai Yuxi's ability to detect Demonic Qi more than once.

And this girl must have lived with Teacher Taibai in Ten Immortals City for quite some time, being a genuine local.

How could the Demonic Qi inside Ten Immortals City escape her Demon-slaying Eye?

Could he maybe return to his old business, swallowing up a few illegal Demon Sects?

Perhaps within these illegal Demon Sects, there were unexplored new technology fields.

At this thought, Su Yuan immediately sat up straight, gladly agreeing.

Then, he rode the Chi Yuan Sword, taking the white-haired Lolita and leaving the apartment.

Under her guidance, Su Yuan headed toward the Evil Extermination District.

The district division of Ten Immortals City was simple, with a total of eleven districts.

Aside from the central residential area, the other regions were divided into ten sectors, each named after the nearby university city.

For example, the district near Wanbao University is called Wanbao District, and the one near Profound Art University is called Profound Art District.

The Evil Extermination District, where Su Yuan was located, was naturally the district near Evil Extermination University.

The closer to the Evil Extermination District, the more Su Yuan noticed the area's robust atmosphere.

In the residential area, electric scooters and motorcycles were still common, but once in the Evil Extermination District, ground vehicles greatly decreased, and sword-shaped vehicles were exponentially more common.

Moreover, every sword cultivator flying by sword had an undeniable sense of dominance.

With all sorts of accelerated starts and street racing, there were endless operatic scenes reminiscent of being caught and docked twelve points, which made Su Yuan secretly amazed.

Luckily, Su Yuan himself was a sword cultivator, so he didn't seem too out of place.
