Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

Spring goes, summer comes, autumn goes, winter comes, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

For a cultivator, a year is like a snap of the fingers, and it passes in a flash. But for some people, a year is enough to change many things.

The biggest change is the first batch of students accepted by Wuling City Xiuzhen Academy a year ago.

Before entering the Xiuzhen Academy, most of them just came in with a try-it-out mentality. Although they pressed their handprints on the contract in order to enter the Xiuzhen Academy, they just regarded it as a contract of selling their bodies.

For poor families, a contract of selling their bodies is not a very rare thing. Many families with difficult lives will sell their children when they can't survive. In fact, many of these students were originally sold to wealthy families as chores and maids by their parents.

Their parents did not expect to get much money from selling their children. They mainly wanted to find a way for their children to make a living and have one less mouth to eat at home. Therefore, selling their children to the Xiuzhen Academy is actually no different from selling them to wealthy families. Even from the propaganda of the Cultivation Academy, the consequences of selling to the Cultivation Academy are much better than selling to a wealthy family.

So, they will appear in the first batch of students.

At the beginning, these children did not know what it meant to enter the Cultivation Academy. They just thought they were here to serve people, but they did not expect that they stayed here for a year, and every day they learned things that had nothing to do with serving people, such as meditation, Qigong, alchemy, and painting.

Moreover, they eat well and sleep warmly here, and they don’t have to worry about being homeless or being bullied. After a long time, everyone has the idea of ​​living here forever.

For them, the Cultivation Academy is their second home. And the teachers of the academy are their parents.

With a sense of identity, the children have become hardworking in their studies. They still can’t understand what cultivation means to them, but they know that if they work hard to practice, the teachers will be very happy. And when the teachers are happy, the children will also be happy for the teachers’ happiness.

In a harmonious school, the children’s cultivation speed is naturally incredible.

In just one month, the first person reached the foundation building stage; after another three months, the child was promoted to the Tongmai stage. Ten months after entering the academy, the child became the first person to be promoted to the Xiantian stage.

This cultivation speed is unprecedented among cultivators, but it is rare at least.

Within a year, the lowest of the two hundred students has reached the Tongmai stage, and more than thirty people have become Xiantian cultivators.

The students handed in a satisfactory report card, and the same is true for the Cultivation Academy.

The reason why these children can improve their cultivation so quickly is not only due to their own efforts, but also inseparable from the various hardware facilities of the Cultivation Academy.

The library can provide hundreds of cultivation classics (most of the classics require a certain contribution to be read, and no one has been able to reach the required contribution within a year), and the Gathering Spirit Tower can provide a concentration of spiritual energy far higher than that of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Coupled with the teachers' earnest teachings, the pouring of various medicinal resources, the lectures of high-level cultivators, and the good learning atmosphere, all of these allow the students to enjoy a cultivation environment that is superior to that of the sect.

A year later, with the display of various talents of the first batch of students, the subsequent cultivation path was further subdivided.

Some were assigned to the Alchemy Pavilion to learn alchemy, some were assigned to the Foundry to learn refining, some were assigned to the Spirit Beast Garden to learn beast control, some were assigned to the Formation Pavilion to learn formations, and some were assigned to Tianyunju to learn music...

In fact, as early as when he was still in Taiwei Sect, Feng Shao felt that the path of cultivation in this world had gone astray. The vast majority of cultivators spend their entire lives figuring out how to kill more efficiently in their cultivation, and only a very small number of them delve into inventions and creations in various fields. Although this group of people is small, they have created a brilliant culture of alchemy, refining, formations, music, etc.

The widespread struggles in the cultivation world seem to have made the cultivators accustomed to killing as the theme of cultivation, but they have forgotten that the essence of cultivation is to pursue the road to immortality. Feng Shao's pursuit is somewhat different. What he wants is to use the means of cultivators to truly change the world and change everyone's life.

Feng Shao's goal is to allow everyone to enjoy the convenience brought by cultivation.

Therefore, in Feng Shao's view, engineering projects such as alchemy and weapon formations are much more useful than simply pursuing the efficiency of killing. Especially for weapon refining and formations, Wuling City's future military industry depends on weapon refining!

Therefore, the initial construction goal of the Cultivation Academy is to cultivate talents for Wuling City. With enough talents, Wuling City can truly become a famous city.

After the first batch of students completed the diversion, the Cultivation Academy began to recruit the second batch of students.

This time, there are many more people interested in the Cultivation Academy, and the number of applicants is several times more than the previous year. The Cultivation Academy has expanded the number of enrollments from the original 200 to 500.

It seems that the number of places has increased a lot, but judging from the number of applicants, the difficulty of entering the Cultivation Academy is much higher than the previous year. The admission ratio suddenly dropped from one-tenth to one-twentieth.

In addition, the students who signed up also changed from poor children in the previous year to rich families. In the perception of most people, cultivation is still a costly undertaking, and ordinary people can't afford the high tuition. Even though the cultivation academy provides a variety of ways to pay tuition, it still discourages many people.

This also led to many rich children from other cities coming to register.

In addition to recruiting new students, Feng Shao also tried to start the "exchange student" mode.

The first exchange place selected was Feng Shao's old employer, Taiwei Sect.

In the past two years, Taiwei Sect has made great progress under the management of the new head Han Biyun and the assistance of Feng Shao. The broken skills were completely improved with the help of Lin Fengtian and his wife, and many spirit gathering towers were built in the sect for disciples to practice.

In addition, Taiwei Sect also took over many businesses of Wuling City, such as raising spirit beasts, planting medicinal herbs, and refining low-grade elixirs. These businesses have finally made the Taiwei Sect, which has always been poor, rich, and the disciples finally have money in their pockets. After becoming rich, the Taiwei Sect has finally become a veritable second-rate sect.

Although it is still a long way from being a first-rate sect, everyone in the Taiwei Sect firmly believes that as long as the Taiwei Sect continues to develop step by step, it will sooner or later become a first-rate sect.

Some time ago, Feng Shao specifically talked to Han Biyun about the current development of the Taiwei Sect. Feng Shao believes that although the Taiwei Sect is now strong, it has encountered a bottleneck in development. First, there are too few sources of disciples, resulting in insufficient new blood; second, there are too few professional talents in the sect, and there is a lack of foundation in alchemy and refining. Therefore, Feng Shao suggested that Wuling City and Taiwei Sect exchange disciples and students to learn from each other's experience.

Han Biyun understood that Feng Shao said that he would learn from each other, but in the final analysis, it was mainly Wuling City that sent talents to Taiwei Sect. After all, Feng Shao knew what Taiwei Sect had better than anyone else.

It seems that even if this senior brother has his own foundation, he will never forget those junior brothers and sisters who once followed him. After his career developed, he did not forget to drive his former sect to develop together.

But this is Feng Shao's nature. He values ​​friendship and repays kindness. No matter when, Taiwei Sect will always be his other home in his heart.

After a competition, a total of 20 students from the Xiuzhen Academy won the exchange student quota. In the next year, they will practice in Taiwei Sect and experience the real sect life. In contrast, Taiwei Sect will also send 20 disciples to study in the Xiuzhen Academy and experience the novel academy life.

Exchange students are very common in reality, but they are a new thing for people in this world. After the Xiuzhen Academy and Taiwei Sect completed the exchange of the first batch of students, Yunjian Pavilion and Taixuan Holy Land sent people to inquire about the news.

Feng Shao chose to exchange students with Taiwei Sect, which was more or less a plan to start a discussion. The curiosity of Yunjian Pavilion and Taixuan Holy Land about this matter undoubtedly proved that Feng Shao's plan was indeed effective.

After Feng Shao's explanation, Yunjian Pavilion and Taixuan Holy Land immediately understood. Yunjian Pavilion was fine. With the 130,000 ancient books given by Feng Shao as a betrothal gift, they were not very interested in the Cultivation Academy. But Taixuan Holy Land had been coveting the hundreds of books of the Cultivation Academy for a long time.

As the saying goes, "stones from other mountains can polish jade." Although Taixuan Holy Land has its own books, if it can take a look at the collection of the Cultivation Academy, it may be able to improve its own books. Although the classics of the exercises will not be open, it is also good to take a look at various books such as alchemy and weapon formations!

So after Taixuan Holy Land discussed privately, it proposed to Feng Shao not long after that the two sides exchanged 100 students and disciples.

This number really scared Feng Shao.

Although the Cultivation Academy was established, the students were still very scarce due to the lack of teaching staff. There were only 200 students in the last class. Excluding the 20 who have already gone to Mount Taiwei, there are only 180. You are going to take away 100 people at once. Can I still run this academy?

So after some bargaining, the two sides finally set the number of exchange students at 30. However, the exchange time was set in the second year, and the exchange students were the first and second students.

With Taixuan Holy Land taking the lead, several sects came to negotiate exchange student quotas. However, in just a few months, Feng Shao had negotiated more than 100 quotas, and the number of cooperating sects reached as many as 7.

Others could not understand Feng Shao's operation. After all, the Cultivation Academy opened hundreds of classics to the outside world, but the sects that cooperated with it only had a few dozen classics for reference. No matter how you look at it, the Cultivation Academy is at a loss.

Only Feng Shao himself knew that his main purpose was to make the Wuling City Cultivation Academy famous through these sects. When the students of Wuling City Cultivation Academy spread all over the world, the reputation of the Cultivation Academy would naturally be known to everyone!

Moreover, with so many sects added together, there are more than just a few dozen classics!
