428: Yingtian Immortal Cultivation Academy

In fact, for the Great Ming, it was not just the invasion of the Sea Race that needed to be guarded against, but also terrestrial exotic beasts and evil cult organizations.

In the past, merely guarding against terrestrial exotic beasts and evil cult organizations had already consumed countless resources of the Great Ming.

Fortunately, the situation was generally under control, but now, with the possible invasion of the Sea Race, this situation was very likely to be broken, because the Great Ming simply did not have the spare strength to fight a three-front war.

This was the biggest dilemma at the moment!

Of course, Prince An coming out of seclusion was the biggest variable for the Great Ming.

If he could lead the Great Ming to withstand the invasion of the Sea Race, then this dilemma would be resolved, which showed that the pressure Prince An was under now was extremely immense.

As the focal point of the entire situation, after the court meeting ended, Prince An immediately contacted Xuanji Tower, wanting to meet with Sabado, but was informed that Sabado was not in Yingtian Prefecture, but was patrolling between multiple bases to check on the situation of the public's Spiritual Roots.

This news also reminded Prince An that now that the Blue Star had entered the Lingqi Era, Cultivators were very likely to see a spurt in growth.

If he could take this Opportunity to Cultivate a large number of Cultivators, then repelling the Sea Race and stabilizing the situation would be even more certain.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to the Yingtian Cultivation Academy to check on the recruitment of Spiritual Power Seed.

Hearing of Prince An's arrival, the new Dean, Yuan Jun, hurriedly came out to welcome him.

Yuan Jun had previously been a professor at Shuntian Academy, and later it was discovered that he possessed dual Water and Wood Spiritual Roots, with quite high Aptitude.

It was just a pity that he was a bit old and had not been selected by Xuanji Tower for cultivation, but as a senior professor and a high-level Xuan Practitioner, he was fully qualified to be the dean of this Cultivation Academy.

Currently, the Great Ming had two Cultivation Academies, one in the north and one in the south.

The one in the north was the Shuntian Cultivation Academy, and its dean was Xu Yanran, who had been discovered to possess mutated Ice Spiritual Roots, while the one in the south was the Yingtian Cultivation Academy, with Yuan Jun serving as dean.

Welcome, Your Highness Prince An!

Yuan Jun bowed respectfully.

Fellow Daoist Yuan, no need for formalities!

Prince An did not put on airs, instead using the customs of the Cultivation World.

Although the era of cultivation had only just begun, as Xuanji Tower popularized knowledge about cultivation, habits of such forms of address had gradually spread, and Prince An was naturally very adaptable.

Yuan Jun was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh: Your Highness Prince An, I haven't even really started to Cultivate yet, how could I dare to sit and discuss the Dao with you?

Haha, with Fellow Daoist Yuan's Aptitude, entering the door of cultivation is an easy task, no need to be self-deprecating!

Prince An laughed.

Then I will take Your Highness Prince An's auspicious words!

Yuan Jun said with a beaming smile, feeling quite relaxed.

I wonder how many immortal seedlings the academy has now?

Prince An asked while walking.

Reporting to Your Highness, as of today, there are 866 immortal seedlings, all under the age of 50, including 503 males and 363 females!

Yuan Jun replied without hesitation.

Oh? That is quite a large number. I wonder how their Aptitude is?

There are 12 with Low Grade dual Spiritual Roots, 38 with High Grade triple Spiritual Roots, 156 with Medium Grade triple Spiritual Roots, 269 with Low Grade triple Spiritual Roots, 195 with quadruple Spiritual Roots, and 196 with quintuple Spiritual Roots! In addition...

In addition to what?

Prince An asked.

There are 8 immortal seedlings with above Medium Grade dual Spiritual Roots who were admitted by Xuanji Tower, and there are also about five hundred people with pseudo-Spiritual Roots. I am not sure if they should be admitted into the academy?

Yuan Jun said.

Pseudo-Spiritual Roots? You mean those whose Spiritual Roots are messy and whose purity is less than 5 points?

Prince An realized.

Yuan Jun nodded and said: It is extremely difficult for these people to Cultivate. According to the information from Xuanji Tower, their upper limit for cultivation is extremely low. Without a great Opportunity, it is unlikely for them to reach the Middle Stage of Qi Refining in their lifetime, let alone Foundation Establishment or Golden Core. In the Cultivation World, they are the people at the very bottom. Cultivating them not only requires consuming a large amount of resources, but it is also unlikely to be of much help to the Great Ming!

Prince An nodded; he was very clear about this situation.

The speed at which these people with pseudo-Spiritual Roots Cultivated was like a turtle crawling.

If the resources used to Cultivate one of them were placed on others, it could fully Cultivate a dozen people.

In a situation where resources in the Cultivation World were limited, these pseudo-Spiritual Roots were naturally the first batch of people to be abandoned.

But...

He sighed inwardly. The current situation of the Great Ming was as precarious as a pile of eggs. Even if there was one more Cultivator with pseudo-Spiritual Roots, if used well, it could add a share of strength.

After all, the total number of Cultivators detected now was not large; counting them all up according to the current situation, it was only a little over a thousand. How could he easily give up?

Let's do this: Cultivate these people with pseudo-Spiritual Roots separately from the others, and allocate resources appropriately. As for what level they can Cultivate to, that depends on their own fortune!

Prince An said.

Your subordinate obeys!

Yuan Jun replied hurriedly.

Let them also practice the Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Profound Formation—oh no, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Spiritual Formation. If they can succeed, the power is something to look forward to...

Prince An pondered.

Ten Thousand Soldiers Gathering Spiritual Formation? I'm afraid that might be a bit difficult!

Yuan Jun said.

What do you mean by that?

Prince An asked.

On one hand, it is the problem of weapons. Can ordinary Profound Weapons withstand the Spiritual Pressure of the spiritual power? It would be best to have Magical Artifacts, but Magical Artifacts are so precious that even Xuanji Tower does not have a few extra. On the other hand, we don't even have Cultivation Techniques now, and the characteristics of each Cultivator's Spiritual Roots are different. Whether they can form a gathering Formation is a big problem. It is said that Formation Masters are an extremely rare profession in the Cultivation World, and every Formation Master is very noble!

Yuan Jun analyzed.

Prince An suddenly realized upon hearing this that he had been taking things for granted. Fortunately, Yuan Jun reminded him, otherwise he might have made a big mistake. He couldn't help but praise: You are still the one who researches carefully, Fellow Daoist! In this way, it seems we must first find Cultivation Techniques to improve their strength as soon as possible!

Yes! The Master of Xuanji Tower promised last time to give us a few Cultivation Techniques, but he has been out and not returned recently, and I am helpless...

Yuan Jun sighed.

No matter, I have already asked the Master of Xuanji Tower to return as soon as possible. As for these immortal seedlings, I can first explain my own insights on cultivation to them!

Prince An said.

Yuan Jun was invigorated upon hearing this and said excitedly: Your Highness can give them a lecture?

Prince An smiled and nodded, saying: My cultivation was all self-taught without a teacher, so I can only explain my own insights on cultivation to them, hoping they can gain something from it!

That's great! Your subordinate will arrange the lecture hall immediately!

Yuan Jun said excitedly, and left quickly to arrange the venue for the lecture.

Prince An was about to sit quietly by himself when his phone suddenly rang. A message came in, and he hurriedly checked it. It was sent by Long Yuan. After carefully reading the message, his face changed!

There is actually such a terrorist organization!?!

Prince An muttered, his whole body trembling slightly.

It turned out that Long Yuan mentioned in the message that there was a killer organization in the Cultivation World on Blue Star called Nether Prison.

Its strength was unknown, and it was said to be a powerful Cultivation force in this Star Domain.

As long as one could afford the price they set, they could help the employer assassinate the target.

According to the latest news, someone had contacted them, and the target of the assassination was those 8 high-quality immortal seedlings with above Medium Grade dual Spiritual Roots who had already been admitted by Xuanji Tower...
