Stronger from Earth

Chapter 378 - 377: Press Conference

In late April, the Changsheng Group successfully held its shareholder meeting, with two members Wang Xuan and Lin Cheng present, listening to the report from the executive president Zhang Sheng and several general managers.

In fact, Wang Xuan had already been well aware of what they spoke about. The Life No. 1 intelligent life was hidden within the data of all Changsheng Group’s technological products, monitoring everyone through its growth.

"Well done." Wang Xuan could see the growth of Changsheng Group, which now employed tens of thousands, relying on its management team.

He awarded Zhang Sheng and others with several Life Essence Immortal Peaches as a reward and instructed them to prepare for the production of Life No. 1, marking another start of Changsheng Group’s expansion path.

Lin Cheng said, "Xuan, the press conference is expected to attract considerable media attention, with billions of viewers; at that time, you should host it."

Wang Xuan waved, "You go ahead. Your dream is to drive civilization forward and become a historical figure; this is a great opportunity.

As the creator of Life No. 1, you have the most right to step up."

Being the Taoist of Immortal Martial Mountain, holding the Seal of Hongwu, he was already a well-known figure globally, destined to be a prominent character in the history of civilization, without needing present glory.

In fully automated factories, there was no physical labor; every aspect of the production line was the result of intelligent management, reaching the limit, producing one bottle after another of Life No. 1.

In the future, this medication will be sold from the Mother Star to other planets in the Solar System, then to the Affiliated Star Domains of Earth Civilization, further fueling the blazing fire of civilization.

The two strolled on the street, feeling the era’s changes and civilization’s prosperity, knowing he had the protection of a True Immortal beside him, rendering his actions open and well-founded.

If aliens appeared, even if they were True Immortal level powerhouses, they couldn’t harm him; they would instead be lured as fish on the hook, ultimately perishing.

"How is the Ling Family currently?" Wang Xuan inquired, in a time constantly undergoing drastic changes, families that couldn’t keep pace often declined.

Lin Cheng replied, "Life Science Group has been gaining momentum recently, with many of their products taking up a substantial market share, thus strengthening Ling Pharmaceutical."

Of course, she understood that wealth pales before power, and power before military strength; no matter how wealthy the Ling Family was, they still had to take heed of the Celestial Immortal’s whims.

"It’s impractical for the Ling Family to establish itself through commerce; they don’t place enough emphasis on cultivation, which will cause them significant losses in the future." Wang Xuan recalled, the Ling Family barely had a few Earth Immortals.

He knew that with his cultivation even a fart would sweep several of them aside, so they weren’t much in his eyes.

Lin Cheng felt rather helpless too; born to such a family, she hadn’t placed enough emphasis on cultivation in the past, fully focused on scientific research, only to realize now that cultivation is the foundation.

As a couple, the two had plenty to do, with fewer idle chats, discussing high-level topics that most would dismiss as boasting.

"James Jie, the Federation President, will have completed his term in three years; who might take over?"

"The Federation President has seen twenty terms by now, with eighteen based in Europe, America, Asia; hence, next should be an Asian person.

The Federation Government essentially comprises major sects, families, business groups, powerful loose cultivators forming a consortium of interests, balancing all powers.

Though it is indeed the government of Earth’s lifeforms, internal power struggles are intense, never purely political.

I speculate the next president won’t be from the Three Great Immortal Holy Lands of the East but rather from a top-tier or first-class Mountain Gate."

As his cultivation and status elevate, the layers of mystery in this world unravel, revealing themselves to Wang Xuan.

"Someday, you might even become the Federation President." Lin Cheng joked; she believed it possible.

Wang Xuan snapped his fingers, creating a rose out of thin air from the molecules in the air, an act impossible without sufficient Primordial Spirit Cultivation.

"For you." His technique resembled magic, leaving a few bystanders who had been listening to his boast trying to decipher the mystery behind his magic.

Lin Cheng happily took it; the rose’s fragrance and vivid color were indistinguishable by her senses, seeming genuinely grown from soil.

The two returned to the villa, where Shoujo Wei was already rolling around hungry; Lin Cheng was slightly startled, wondering why such a stunningly beautiful celestial maiden appeared here.

With her semi-transparent flesh, Shoujo Wei looked like a jade sculpture, not like someone from the mortal realm.

Wang Xuan explained, "She is from the Otherworld, her status is quite unique; not sure if she’s friend or foe, she must stay by my side."

"Hm." Shoujo Wei turned her face away.

"Such a refined girl." Lin Cheng couldn’t help but be a little mesmerized, acknowledging she indeed couldn’t match her in beauty.

Wang Xuan said, "If you like, you can keep her as a handmaid."

Lin Cheng shook her head, "No, if we get married, she might even become a follower, and that would be a loss for me."

With an extra person at home, it was indeed inconvenient, so Wang Xuan contemplated, then with a wave, the soil rolled over as an extra gray but clean stone house of just over ten square meters emerged by the villa.

"Wei, the villa is our private space, so you’ll have to endure staying here." Wang Xuan smiled, treating her dismissively.

Shoujo Wei angrily replied, "Even if I take the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, I wouldn’t live in such a doghouse!"

Before she could say anything further, she was locked out of the villa, while Wang Xuan and Lin Cheng enjoyed their private world.

With her perception, Shoujo Wei could hear the dense activities of insects and ants, and see countless dust particles falling onto her, along with endless breeding bacteria.

Had her cultivation not been restrained, these things would certainly be shielded out; such circumstances made her feel she was in Hell.

Her frustration was boiling over!

In Yuzhang, the skies were dull gray in April, and the plum rain drizzled, once again making Shoujo Wei, outside, scurry into the stone house as the rain fell.

At night, as she slept hugging her belly, she faintly heard a mournful and plaintive cry, as if lamenting with sorrow.

"That bastard, he must be hitting women again!" Shoujo Wei thought, sure that Wang Xuan must have been domestically abusing, not knowing how terribly he bullied that woman.

After a sleepless night, she saw Lin Cheng again the next day, expecting to see her bruised and battered, only to find her full of vigor, with skin glowing, laughing and talking with Wang Xuan.

Time slipped away, and three days passed; after brewing for three days, the Changsheng Group finally held its product launch. Lin Cheng stood on stage to unveil Life No. 1.

"After long research and experimentation, after countless failures, we finally developed..."

"It’s like my child; I hope it will make the world more exciting, let more people find happiness..."

"You already know the effects of Life No. 1, but the most crucial point is that I hope everyone understands it belongs to the common people; ordinary people can buy it.

It’s not priced at millions or tens of millions; it’s thirty-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight yuan, one bottle per month for teenagers. Theoretically, a year of use can enhance life potential and bone growth..."

"This is a day to commemorate, as Life No. 1 for the people is born, changing many children’s destinies!"

Wang Xuan watched Lin Cheng deeply engrossed on stage, passionately narrating dreams, ushering young dreams, stirring the audience to buy Life No. 1.

For ordinary people, buying Life No. 1 means a great gain, possibly costing a family’s annual income but undeniably worth investing.

And for Changsheng Group, customer purchases mean income incoming, with over five trillion people on the Mother Star, if one in a thousand buys, the group would expand to a trillion scale within a year.

The Void Python coiled around him, invisible to even Celestial Immortals, it hissed, "An alien race True Immortal mixed in the crowd."

Wang Xuan’s spiritual cultivation had long enveloped a hundred-mile radius, within his command even if hundreds of thousands filled the conference soon.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t found where the enemy lurked.

"I guess I don’t need to take action; killing a True Tier alien race is a big gain." Wang Xuan remained unmoved.

A True Immortal level alien race naturally could be dealt with by True Immortals from Immortal Martial Mountain.
