Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 770: Internet Addiction

After Chen Lingyun successfully overcame the tribulation, the next one was Li Zhaojiang.

Although this brother-in-law is a magic cultivator, he has to wait until all the other magic cultivators have passed the tribulation before it is his turn. This shows his level of qualifications.

However, there are also advantages to forming a pill late. Nowadays, industrial production capacity has increased explosively, and the Wanzhu Sword and Xiaoxuan Light Ruler are in sufficient supply. The difficulty of transcending the tribulation is completely incomparable to that of Yan Yu.

Li Zhaojiang himself was not nervous at all and continued to stay up late playing games every night. Li Minghu said that it was useless for him and he could only complain to Yan Yu:
"Does he think that overcoming the tribulation is just like playing a game, where as long as the numbers are in place, he can win without any effort? What if something unexpected happens during the tribulation? Yan Yu, can you help me persuade him?"

"I'm afraid my advice will have the opposite effect," Yan Yu said. "You know his attitude towards me."

"No," Li Minghu said, "Although he usually likes to argue with you, he actually respects you and Liu Longtao the most. He will definitely listen carefully to what you say."

"Yeah, I see." Yan Yu asked casually, "What game has he been playing recently?"

After asking clearly, Yan Yu turned around and went to find Xie Ruoxi and told her about this matter.

"He's about to pass the tribulation and still playing games?" Xie Ruoxi was stunned. "Is he trying to kill himself? When I was going through the tribulation, I even gave up watching my favorite anime and spent every day studying how to pass the tribulation! He's really too ambitious!"

"You didn't seem to do much research back then," Yan Yu chuckled. "I prepared the plan for you and asked you to memorize it, but you memorized it and then forgot it, and then memorized it again. It was all in vain."

"This..." Xie Ruoxi's eyes widened immediately. "I'm preparing to transcend the tribulation! How can it be useless? Memorizing and forgetting... isn't that normal? Only by memorizing again after forgetting can you fully grasp it. When Zhang Wuji and Zhang Sanfeng learned Tai Chi, didn't they learn first and then forget..."

"Okay, stop." Yan Yu made a stop gesture. "I'm not laughing at you. I'm just asking you: How can we effectively help an internet-addicted teenager like him to quit?"

"Electrotherapy." Xie Ruoxi stretched out her right hand and formed a ball of lightning. "Give him a few full courses of treatment. Not only will he be able to break his internet addiction, but he'll even be able to report his parents for crimes."

"Stop it." Yan Yu knocked her head. "I'm not going to play tricks on you. I want a real and effective solution."

"Woo." Xie Ruoxi held her head in her hands, thinking to herself, Captain, you're so obsessed with Li Zhaojiang, isn't it just to please his sister, Li Minghu? You're so shameless to ask me to help you pick up girls. "That's easy. Just find a few professional players and block him every day to kill him. Kill him until he breaks through the defense and reaches red temperature, and starts cursing the game. Wouldn't that help him break his internet addiction?"

"Will he get suspicious?" Yan Yu began to think about the feasibility of this. "They're all from the same group of IDs, so he'll think something's wrong, right?"

"Then we can contact the gaming company," Xie Ruoxi said. "We can disguise the game ID and modify the matching mechanism so that no matter how he matches, he can only be matched with this group of people. Then we can squeeze him hard and make him question his life."

"You..." Yan Yu squinted his eyes at her, "Although you usually appear innocent and harmless, you are actually full of evil intentions when it comes to things like this."

"Hey hey hey~" Xie Ruoxi quickly laughed foolishly, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I just know more about the game. Captain, if you're confident, just leave this matter to me."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then." Yan Yu was also happy to be a hands-off boss. "If you need to contact the game company, just come forward in the name of the Zhendong Army and ask your new assistant."

The Assistant System, currently being piloted by the Privy Council, aims to replace the team system in serving Golden Core Masters. Its specific content is quite simple: each Golden Core Master is assigned a dedicated Assistant, who is specifically responsible for liaising with the Privy Council on their behalf, somewhat similar to the confidants of ancient times.

After all, the monks only need to fight on the front line, while the Privy Council has more things to consider behind the scenes, and the thinking of both sides may not naturally match.

In the past, you didn't need to understand the decisions from above; you just had to execute them. But Jindan Zhenren couldn't do that. If communication problems led to disunity, the cost would be unacceptable to the Lu Kingdom. Therefore, there was a need for a "Jindan Zhenren Assistant" position to serve as a communication, mediation, and lubrication between the two sides.

To put it bluntly, it means to serve Jindan Zhenren well.

The new assistant assigned to Xie Ruoxi by the Zhendong Army was named Wang, but Yan Yu didn't know her exact name. Anyway, she was a young girl who was good at reading comics, watching anime, and playing games. She could also use touch-screen prints to draw two-dimensional characters. She played games with Xie Ruoxi all day long and recommended new anime to each other. She looked like she was not doing her job properly... But Yan Yu naturally didn't really regard her as a otaku.

"Assistant?" Xie Ruoxi hesitated. "Can she do it?"

"You ask first." Yan Yu said.

Xie Ruoxi took out her cell phone and sent a message to her assistant Xiao Wang.

"Okay, Sister Xi." The other party replied immediately, "Leave it to me."

"Look," Yan Yu said with a smile, "These assistants of the Golden Core True Person have the military and the Privy Council behind them. Their power is incomparably terrifying. Only you treat them as fellow otakus, dragging them to play games all day long."

"Ahem." Xie Ruoxi was a little embarrassed. "No, I thought... I thought she was a gaming partner specially found for me."

"That's true," Yan Yu said. "If an assistant wants to gain the recognition and trust of a Jindan Master, the fastest way is to please him. But don't put the cart before the horse and really use him as a partner."

The two chatted casually for a while, and Xie Ruoxi asked curiously:
"By the way, Yan Yu. Who is the assistant assigned to you?"

"No." Yan Yu replied, "I don't have an assistant." "Ah, why?" Xie Ruoxi was confused.

The answer is self-evident. An assistant serves as the liaison between the Jindan Master and the Lu Kingdom Privy Council. Does Yan Yu need such a liaison? No. He can simply contact Li Weiguo or Chen Tianming if he has any questions. He has the authority to communicate directly with the Privy Council. Can other cultivators do the same?
"Because Chen Lingyun is my assistant." Yan Yu replied.

"Oh." Xie Ruoxi didn't think much about it and asked innocently, "So the higher-ups arranged for you to have Sister Lingyun, just to please them?"

"What are you talking about?" Yan Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he corrected her, "What do you mean by catering to someone's needs? She took the initiative to apply to be my assistant and follow me around everywhere! What does that have to do with me?"

"So that's how it is." Xie Ruoxi suddenly realized and thought to herself, Sister Lingyun is so quick, I can't fall too far behind. "Then can I be your assistant?"

"You?" Yan Yu frowned. "What can you do?"

"I can watch dramas and play games with you." Xie Ruoxi counted on her fingers, listing them like treasures. "I can change into all kinds of beautiful clothes for you to see, and provide you with enough emotional value..."

"Can you hold on for half an hour without lying down?" Yan Yu interrupted her impatiently.

Xie Ruoxi blushed immediately, was speechless, and left with her face covered.

"That's too much." Chen Lingyun's light, almost amused voice came from behind. "You're bullying Xiao Ruoxi again. Aren't you afraid she'll get Sister Zhao to deal with you next time?"

"What a joke! I'm not afraid of both of them attacking me together." Yan Yu turned around calmly and asked, "Lingyun, when did you get here?"

"It started when she sent a message to her assistant." Chen Lingyun lifted her invisibility spell and replied, "Now that I've reached the Core Formation stage, I can put some plans on the agenda."

"Come with me, I have something to show you."

Although her tone was mysterious, Chen Lingyun in her previous life also often played the role of a riddle teller, so Yan Yu did not pay much attention to it. He just followed her, waiting to see what fun she would find next.

The two men flew out of the Wudang Mountain base on their swords and headed west.

As the sword light gradually lowered in height, Yan Yu looked at the familiar scenery below and suddenly remembered.

This is the location of the Shuanggui Mountain Secret Realm, and it was also the site of the Zhenhai and Fire Phoenix teams' first simulated drill. Before the capture of the secret realm's core, many ghosts infiltrated and escaped, temporarily impacting transportation and shipping routes on both sides of the Yangtze River.

As a ghost-controlling monk, Chen Lingyun had every right to come to this secret realm to capture ghosts. After handing the approval slip from his superiors to the guard at the entrance of the secret realm, the two were allowed to enter the secret realm smoothly.

The secret realm was still filled with a gloomy atmosphere and white mist, not much different from when they first entered. This was a secret realm for imprisoning ghosts, and the Lu Kingdom had not yet thought of a better way to utilize it, so they simply stationed troops to guard it to prevent the ghosts from escaping.

After traversing a long mountain road, we arrived at the gates of the Yin Palace. The square, once guarded by the Bull-Headed Ghost, had now become a frontline outpost for the Pingxi Army. Further into the palace, the terrain was not open enough to prevent surprise attacks, and communication with the outside world was also poor. Therefore, this was the front line.

Chen Lingyun took out the approval slip, and the two were able to pass through again. When they stepped onto the steps of the Yin Palace, Yan Yu suddenly asked:

"You always asked for leave to go out, just to explore this secret place?"

"More than that." Chen Lingyun smiled leisurely, "I have basically explored all the secret places related to ghosts, whether they are at home or abroad."

"The so-called secret realms of imprisoned ghosts are mostly places where ghost sects or powerful beings capture large numbers of ghosts from outside and imprison them, allowing them to fight and devour each other, practicing the practice of using ghosts to feed ghosts."

"There are only two locations that are connected to the netherworld. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately catch ghosts from the outside world. Ghosts will naturally come from the netherworld, and there will be an endless stream of them."

"One is the secret underground realm in the southern region, where you obtained the Sun's True Delusion Sword Intent. The Pure Land Sect uses the Underworld to cultivate a large number of high-level ghosts to resist the invasion of the Wuliang Sword Sect's sword puppets."

"The other place is the secret realm of Shuanggui Mountain."

"Hmm." Yan Yu said thoughtfully, "The ghosts from the Underworld may not be as powerful as those raised by the Yang Gu School, but because they have been nourished by pure Yin Qi, their upper limit should be higher. However, with your current status, you can find someone stationed here to help you screen the ghosts. There is no need to do it yourself."

"Dear, have you really forgotten, or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Chen Lingyun's smile grew even brighter, with a hint of dissatisfaction and warning. "Since this secret realm is connected to the Underworld, then we can naturally go to the Underworld from here."

"Are you still thinking about rebuilding the underworld?" Yan Yu was shocked. "No, don't you know how difficult it is?"

"I know." Chen Lingyun smiled calmly, "So what?"
