389: Make a fortune every day

For a fleeting moment, Sabado did indeed consider killing Zhu Jian to seize his Flying Sword, but he ultimately suppressed this thought. However, after seeing Zhu Jian's Flying Sword, his heart burned with desire, and he became even more impatient to earn Sect contribution points. Therefore, at the crack of dawn the next day, he immediately had his subordinates put the plans he had recently been working on into action. This caused a frenzy that swept through the entire Yingtian Prefecture like a nuclear explosion!

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!

"Have you heard? It turns out we can Cultivate in this world?!"

"What? Cultivate? What is going on?!"

"Xuanji Tower is selling information about Cultivation. I heard that Cultivators are much stronger than us Xuan Practitioners; their combat power is at least several times higher!"

"It's not just an increase in combat power. I heard that Immortals have a chance to achieve immortality! At the very least, their Lifespan is several times that of us Xuan Practitioners!"

"My god, there's actually such a good thing? Let's go check it out!"

"Let's go together!"

News about Cultivation spread rapidly through the streets. Everyone who heard it was instantly unsettled. Countless people surged toward Xuanji Tower in a short period, forming several long queues extending from Xuanji Tower all the way to the main road, with more people continuously joining from behind...

As the reach and depth of the news spread, it wasn't just the common people who were going crazy; even the officials were unsettled, and many of them joined the ranks to learn about Cultivation!

Regarding this, although Zhu Jian felt slightly uneasy, he could only express his helplessness!

If any other force dared to release such unconventional information so recklessly, the Daming government would definitely label them an evil cult and suppress them, quickly stifling this frenzy. But since it was Xuanji Tower releasing the news, no one dared to take action against them!

Even if Zhu Jian had the strength to suppress Sabado now, he wouldn't dare to act rashly, because he knew that behind Xuanji Tower lay a far more terrifying Cultivation force—an existence that no country on Blue Star could ever hope to deal with.

Zhu Jian understood that Cultivation was a trend. This trend would arrive sooner or later, and no one could stop it!

If he were to step forward to block or seal it off, he would be standing on the opposite side of history. Such an approach would definitely be wrong and unwise. On the contrary, he should go with the flow and find ways to guide the public, allowing them to Cultivate within the framework of Daming's governance...

Furthermore, the existence of Xuanji Tower was actually helpful to Daming, especially now that the Sea Race had begun to target the Human Race. The importance of Xuanji Tower was greater than ever. He remembered how those Immortals from Xuanji Tower had slaughtered the sea beasts. With them around, it was unlikely that Daming would be destroyed by the Sea Race. Therefore, allowing Xuanji Tower to open a market here was effectively Daming trading its market in exchange for protection from Xuanji Tower, and this protection fee was one that Daming had to pay!

However, the impact of this frenzy was on the verge of causing Yingtian Prefecture to lose its proper order. After careful consideration, Zhu Jian decided to visit Sabado in person. He had originally intended to pay Sabado a visit anyway, so this was just a bit earlier than planned.

Three days later, Zhu Jian arrived at Xuanji Tower alone. Sabado had long since sent people to receive him at the entrance. The reason he did not come out to greet him personally was that there were too many people queuing, and he feared causing chaos.

Zhu Jian followed the Young Attendant sent by Sabado into the main hall. He saw five tables placed at the entrance. Two tables on each side were selling Cultivation information to the people in line, while a trapezoidal jade stone was placed on the middle table, with a sign next to it that read: "Spiritual Root detection site, one superior xuan stone per time!"

"Spiritual Root detection?" Zhu Jian was slightly taken aback.

The Young Attendant laughed when he saw this: "This is a Cultivation service provided by our tower. Customers only need to spend one superior xuan stone to test whether they have the Aptitude to Cultivate. If they do, and it is of High Grade Aptitude, upon personal confirmation by the Tower Master, they will have the opportunity to join our Xuanji Tower!"

"Oh? Has anyone come here to be tested today?" Zhu Jian asked curiously.

The Young Attendant laughed: "There aren't many people coming for testing right now; after all, few people can afford a superior xuan stone. We've only tested over three hundred people this morning!"

Zhu Jian was secretly shocked when he heard this. Indeed, as the Young Attendant said, the cost of this Spiritual Root detection was not low. One superior xuan stone was definitely not something an ordinary person could easily afford. One superior xuan stone was equivalent to ten thousand low-grade xuan stones. Many ordinary families might only spend about one hundred low-grade xuan stones a year. A family that could save up ten thousand low-grade xuan stones could be considered middle-class or above, but to spend ten thousand just for a test—if the result was that they had no Spiritual Root, wouldn't they feel like they had been wronged to death?

Yet even so, over three hundred people had still been tested in just one morning!!!

Coupled with the tidal wave of people buying information, Xuanji Tower was simply making money hand over fist...

Of the four elements of Cultivation—wealth, companions, method, and location—wealth comes first!

Zhu Jian understood this point well. Although he had never worried about wealth before, that was because he was a super Genius of the royal family and had the resources of the entire Daming to support him, so he could focus solely on Cultivating without having to think about earning money. However, the process of Cultivating his spiritual power over the past two hundred years had made him deeply realize the importance of wealth and resources. Because Cultivation was different from practicing Xuan, even if he had infinite xuan coins, he couldn't easily purchase Cultivation supplies. Many Cultivation resources were hidden away, and he had spent at least one hundred and fifty of the two hundred-plus years he had been Cultivating on the road searching for Cultivation resources!

Others only thought he was a dedicated ascetic, but they didn't know that his footprints had already covered the entire Blue Star as he searched everywhere for good things containing Spiritual Qi. Fortunately, hard work paid off; he discovered that things containing Spiritual Qi appearing in recent years seemed to be increasing in number and level, which had significantly accelerated his Cultivation speed. In particular, the Xuanhuang Sword had transformed into a Flying Sword with great spirituality under the nourishment of massive amounts of resources!

The transformation of the Xuanhuang Sword had greatly increased Zhu Jian's strength and doubled his confidence. Otherwise, he would not have boasted to Zhu Zhenxiang that he could defeat that group of Cultivators from Xuanji Tower—of course, that was on the condition that they had not improved much.

In the process of searching for spiritual items, Zhu Jian had keenly discovered the trend of changes in heaven and earth and gradually realized the arrival of the Cultivation era. Therefore, he did not feel very surprised by the actions of Xuanji Tower. However, he was, after all, the guardian of the Daming royal family. At this turning point of Cultivation, he had to stand up and do his utmost to protect the interests of the royal family, avoiding the risk of the royal family being blown away by the strong winds at this juncture. This was also the problem he had been struggling to think through recently.
