Chapter 493 About the Jade Mirror
Afterwards, Wang Yanzhi found an opportunity and approached Lu Wensheng with some hesitation and tact. He did not directly explain the specific incident regarding Yujing, but only vaguely mentioned that there had been some "disharmonious noises" on the platform recently, and asked Lu Wensheng if he had any opinions or suggestions on "how to better purify Yujing's communication environment and regulate speech."
He cleverly packaged it as a technical discussion about platform management.
Although Lu Wensheng felt Wang Yanzhi's question was a bit sudden, he didn't think much of it, treating it as just a normal discussion. He pondered for a moment, combining his previous life's network management experience with the actual situation in the cultivation world, and earnestly proposed a few ideas that could be adapted to local conditions.
“The Jade Mirror communicates across vast distances, information is interwoven, and advantages and disadvantages coexist.
First, perhaps a "Heart Demon Oath" binding system could be implemented? This wouldn't be mandatory for all users, but those who wish to speak in sensitive or contentious forums, or even release important information, would need to use their real identity or a sect token as a guide, supplemented by a simple Heart Demon Oath promising not to intentionally spread falsehoods or engage in malicious personal attacks.
This move doesn't deprive users of their anonymity, but rather increases the cost of fabricating rumors. The Heart Demon Oath is, after all, somewhat binding on cultivators. This is similar to a combination of real-name authentication and a user agreement, but with the added "binding force" characteristic of the cultivation world.
"Secondly, establish clearer rules for publicizing 'discipline' and disciplining offenders.
Clearly list prohibited behaviors—such as malicious rumor-mongering, defamation, inciting hatred, and leaking other people’s privacy—and place them at the top of each section.
If a violation occurs, the severity of the violation may result in a ban, account closure, or even public disclosure of the violation (without disclosing privacy). Punishment must be timely, public, and fair to serve as a deterrent to others.
“Third, improve the complaint and verification mechanism.
If there is a misjudgment, users must be given a channel to appeal.
A neutral third-party team could be formed or commissioned (perhaps the major sects could take turns sending disciples to serve as inspectors?) to verify controversial content and impose penalties.
"Fourthly, perhaps a 'merit' or 'reputation' points system could be introduced? Users who abide by the rules and publish useful information over a long period of time can accumulate points and perhaps enjoy certain conveniences or priority in using the Jade Mirror?
On the other hand, repeat offenders will not only be banned, but their reputation points will be reduced, and their future posts may be subject to more restrictions or censorship, making order and reputation valuable.
"Fifth, on the technical level... I don't quite understand this, but maybe we can set up some keyword filters? Or develop a small monitoring formation or magical treasure that can more efficiently and automatically identify and mark remarks that are obviously malicious and overly violent, making it easier for manual verification and processing?" Lu Wensheng tried to express the modern content review mechanism in the way of the cultivation world.
"In short, we need to combine loosening and tightening, allowing freedom while also clarifying boundaries. You can make choices based on these suggestions based on what can be implemented."
Wang Yanzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded repeatedly. He felt that his idol was worthy of being an idol and had a thorough and insightful view of things!
Wang Yanzhi quickly recorded everything on the jade slips, muttering, "Great! The Heart Demon Oath binds sensitive areas! Merit points! Inspectors! Keyword filtering array! Senior Brother Lu, you really have a brilliant mind! These things are simply... so useful!"
After Lu Wensheng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yanzhi and said, "These are just some preliminary ideas. Specific implementation will definitely require further refinement, taking into account the operating principles of the Jade Mirror and the actual situation in the cultivation world. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Wang Yanzhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then scratched his head, a look of "Didn't I tell you that?" on his face. "Ah? Didn't I tell you that? The Jade Mirror... uh, the core formation and main promotion of this entire communication architecture were originally led by my family. We are responsible for the core refining method and maintenance and operation of the Jade Mirror. My ancestor was one of the first masters to participate in refining the Jade Mirror. Now the largest maintenance team and authority are also in my family's hands."
Lu Wensheng: "?!" He instantly recalled Wang Yanzhi's precise location of someone. He'd thought he was incredibly efficient back then. So, here's the secret! So, one of the "internet" giants that dominates the cultivation world is owned by your family? The "server" is yours!
He once again deeply realized that none of the companions gathered around him were simple. Each of them was a hidden talent, a hidden dragon or crouching tiger. Who knew at what time a surprising identity or skill would emerge.
Yan Qingshu later received a message about the Jade Mirror update system, and revealed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone: Did Lu Wensheng’s reform finally reach the Jade Mirror?
She was so scared that she quickly checked her collection of 18+ novels: Luckily, it’s still there!

Liu Jiqian hurried back to the Wenxian Sect in a dusty state. The first thing on his mind was to finalize the important matter of him and Lu Wensheng becoming Taoist partners.
He knew very well that the key to this matter lay in the approval of his master Jun Ning, but he was also very self-aware - if he went to discuss it with Elder Jun Ning alone, he would probably not even be able to enter the mountain gate and would be "invited" out directly, and his success rate would be slim.
So, he went to find the Grand Elder without hesitation - with his grandfather in charge, he could at least be guaranteed a chance to speak.
When the Grand Elder heard the purpose of his grandson's visit, his snow-white eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.
He stroked his long beard, his eyes gleaming with surprise and amusement. "Oh? So soon? I thought that with your lukewarm personality, such a life-long event would take at least another ten or eight years. How come after just one trip, you've acted so vigorously?"
He was so curious that he couldn't help but move closer and asked in a low voice, "Tell Grandfather quickly, how did you convince Wen Sheng? What trick did you use?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiqian only raised the corners of his lips slightly, outlining a light smile with a bit of indescribable mystery, and gently shook his head, clearly unwilling to elaborate - did he want him to tell his grandfather that he had only mentioned it nervously and solemnly, and Ah Sheng nodded in agreement?
If I really told him, given my grandfather's temper, I'm afraid he would tease him about this for the rest of his life.
As for why Lu Wensheng wasn't allowed to come along... Liu Jiqian had given it some careful consideration.
He could almost foresee the scene: if Ah Sheng was present, and Elder Jun Ning watched his well-behaved and lovely disciple being "kidnapped" like this, and the "culprit" dared to openly bring the "stolen goods" to his door to "demonstrate", then it would probably not be as simple as kicking him out. Drawing a sword and chasing him around the Discipline Hall ten times would be considered the lightest punishment.
Liu Jiqian: Just breathing.
Jun Ning: Okay, challenge me! (Draws sword)
Alas, Liu Jiqian sighed softly in his heart.
Elder Jun Ning really refused to listen to any advice or suggestions.
It was obvious that when he was young, although Elder Jun was not very friendly, she did have some appreciation for him, a rising star from another sect, and often received some guidance from her.
But now... her attitude was completely different. Not only was she openly annoyed with him, but her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to penetrate his skin, nailing him to the pillar of shame of being a "vixen".
Wait... a vixen? Liu Jiqian's mind raced, and he suddenly recalled that in order to attract Lu Wensheng's attention, he had indeed done some... well, somewhat deliberate and even clumsy seductive actions.
And during those one or two times, it seemed, as if, probably... Elder Jun Ning, who was passing by, had caught a glimpse of him? At that time, Elder Jun Ning's eyes seemed to instantly become eight degrees colder...
Liu Jiqian: "..." The case was solved. Elder Jun was probably convinced that he had used some shameful and despicable means to deceive Ah Sheng.
If the truth is really like this... Liu Jiqian suddenly felt that it was reasonable for Elder Jun Ning to just dislike him from the beginning, but now he completely and undisguisedly dislikes him. He could even be described as having a "good temper".
