Chapter 1729: Your views on cultivating immortals are from the old times
"This Qingyun Network is amazing. It can be used to assist in cultivation, earn spirit stones, and even enable instant communication. I've never heard of such a method existing in this world."
"Friend Su, is the communication quality of this mobile phone really as good as you said? Is it even more mysterious than the Yin-Yang Mirror?" The Lord of the Big Dipper looked at Su Motang in disbelief.
"Of course, the cost of refining the Yin-Yang Alphabet Mirror is too high, and each use requires a large amount of spirit stones. This kind of large communication tool is simply not affordable for ordinary cultivators."
"Furthermore, this Yin-Yang Alphabet Mirror can only communicate one-to-one, which is too restrictive."
"Although communication talismans were previously a common method used by most cultivators, they are easily blocked by formations and cannot provide instant communication. Their effectiveness is far inferior to that of mobile phones."
"Now that you all have smartphones, you can use them to experience the convenience of Qingyun Network, Qingyun Communications, Xianwang, and Qingyun Bank. Then you'll understand the wonders of these things."
"Friend Su, your sect has these things, so you must have earned a lot of spirit stones, right?" Yang Jian couldn't help but look at Su Motang, and the other cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage also looked at Su Motang curiously.
Su Motang smiled and said, "The main purpose of our sect is not to make money, but to promote the development of the cultivation world in Qingyun Continent."
"Although the Immortal Network and Qingyun Communications have indeed brought a lot of profits to our sect, we still spend a lot of spirit stones on the immortal cultivation world every year."
"For example, the compulsory education program for the Qi Refining period promoted by the Sect Leader costs an astronomical amount every year. The amount spent on the Immortal Cultivation Support Fund is also an astronomical amount every year."
Su Motang's words caught everyone's attention. Beidou Star Lord couldn't help but ask, "What are the Qi Refining Period compulsory education plan and the Immortal Cultivation Support Fund that you mentioned?"
"Immortal Cultivation Support Fund? Is it the same as the Immortal Cultivation Support Fund in War City?" Zhou Dafu and Nanqing Pavilion Master's expressions changed.
"The Sect Master has stipulated that anyone with spiritual roots in Qingyun Continent, regardless of their talent, can enter any Qingyun Academy in Qingyun Continent and study for free as long as they are willing."
"During their study period, the resources consumed by these cultivators will be fully borne by our sect until they break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
“Why…why is this?”
"Why would your family devote resources to training irrelevant people?"
"Yeah, shouldn't we spend resources on our own people?"
"Friend Su, you are not joking, are you? Although Qingyun Continent is just an island, if we gather all the people with spiritual roots together, how many people would it take?" Yang Yuan looked at Su Motang in disbelief.
Su Motang simply smiled and said, "According to the latest statistics, there are currently nearly 50 million Qi Refining cultivators throughout the entire Qingyun Continent. These people are basically evenly distributed across the thousands of Qingyun Academies across the continent to study and practice. These cultivators cultivate Qi, body, and spirit together, and all the resources consumed are borne by our sect."
"At the same time, we have to bear the cultivation resources of 50 million Qi Refining cultivators! Moreover, they need to cultivate the Dharma Body and the Spirit Refining Stage. How many resources will this consume? What is Master Sun thinking?"
Dean Yang Yuan and the helmsmen of super powers like Beidou Star Lord would not dare to imagine what it would be like to train so many Qi Refining cultivators at the same time.
No superpower in the Wanling Continent would do such a thing. They continue the tradition of the immortal cultivation world and only focus on talent and background when training cultivators.
This behavior of Qingyun Continent completely subverted the tradition of the world of immortal cultivation and also subverted the three views of these cultivators in the God Transformation Stage. Is this still the world of immortal cultivation?
"Master, he is the most powerful person in the world. His vision surpasses anyone else in the world, and his perspective is unmatched."
"The Sect Master said that if we want to fight against the demon race, we can't just rely on the sect's strength, but we must unite the entire human race and promote universal education. This will cultivate a large number of talents, and these talents will help us better resist the demon race and better promote the development of the immortal cultivation world."
"But Fellow Daoist Su, even if you train more cultivators, it will only be a waste of resources for a few more Qi Refining cultivators."
"If we focus these resources on monks with good talents, we can cultivate masters more quickly."
"Yes, even if your sect cultivates ten million Qi Refining cultivators, it is still not as good as cultivating one hundred Yuanying cultivators."
"The resources used to train 10 million Qi Refining cultivators are more than enough to train 100 Yuanying cultivators. What you are doing is not cost-effective at all." Dean Yang Yuan looked at Su Motang.
Su Motang smiled and shook his head: "Your views on cultivating immortals are from the old era, but what the Sect Master is leading us to is a new era of cultivating immortals."
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Su Motang with confusion.
"It's very simple. In the traditional view of cultivating immortals, talents are those cultivators with good gifts and strong strength, right?" Su Motang looked at the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage in front of him.
"Isn't it?" The Lord of the Big Dipper asked back.
"Yes, isn't that the case?" Yang Yuan nodded in agreement.
But Su Motang shook his head: "I used to think so too. It wasn't until the Sect Master led us to open a new era of immortal cultivation that I realized that my thinking was too narrow."
"True talent can transcend both innate talent and strength. With their own intelligence, even if they are only at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, they can demonstrate value beyond that of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator."
"The definition of talent has never been based on innate talent or strength, but on the value they can create. This is best reflected in the leader."
"The Sect Master only possesses a low-grade talent. When he first took charge of our Qingyun Sect, he was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. However, with his own ingenuity, he led many talented members of our sect to develop a three-in-one cultivation method. He also developed the Qingyun Battle Armor, a method for recharging spiritual treasures, a method for mass-producing Qingyun Dew, and a method for purifying the demon race's essence and blood in large quantities."
"The Qingyun Network and the Wanbao Killing Formation were also developed thanks to the research of these talented individuals."
"Many of our sect's inventions didn't come from geniuses with top-grade spiritual roots, nor from cultivators like us who are extremely powerful, but from talents recognized by the sect leader."
"Talent is the foundation of a force and the foundation of the human race. Talent shouldn't be determined solely by talent and strength; that would be too narrow-minded."
"Wait...what did you say just now? The Qingyun Armor, the Charging Spirit Treasure, the method of mass production of Qingyun Dew and purification of the monster's blood were all researched by you, and not inherited from the upper realm?" Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a mistake somewhere.
