You Cultivate, I Also Cultivate, Why Our Cultivation Styles Are So Different?

After hanging up, Yan Jia realized that he was still some distance away from where he was staying. He opened the book that he was reading before the call came in.

After entering the Golden Crow Academy, Yan Jia had a deeper understanding of the benefits of resources. In the past few years, in order to collect all kinds of True Sun Cultivation Technique, Yan Jia had indeed spent more time and effort at the library here than he had ever spent at the library in the city. The books in the Golden Crow Academy were indeed different from those in the World.

To be honest, in his sixteen years in Shanhai World, Yan Jia discovered that the understanding of resources in this world was slightly different from his initial understanding. Resources did not represent all kinds of spiritual herbs or treasures. Instead, it was a collection of books.

The cultivation of the Building Base stage did not require any medicinal herbs, and neither did it require any Spirit Beast to feed on blood. All Yan Jia needed to do was eat his fill. Six hundred years ago, for an ordinary person, this might have been a matter of careful consideration; a goal that could only be achieved by racking his brain.

But now, it was different.

The Civilization of Cultivation had some advantages compared to Yan Jia’s previous life. He could use the Cheating Program.

If the food production is inadequate, Yan Jia could crossbreed crops. He doesn’t need to understand genetics or inheritance. He could just rely on brute force.

If the production was still enough, he would grab some Spirit Beast and find some magical plants to continue the hybridization.

He would first concentrate on getting the end result and then gradually study it. After all, he had a long life ahead of him, and in the end, he’d be able to produce the final product and figure out its operations. If ten years aren’t enough to understand, he’ll keep researching for another hundred years, and if that’s still not enough, he’ll keep studying for another thousand years regardless of what anyone else thinks.

“I don’t understand, even after a thousand years? Let’s start a small academy, gather a large group of people, and discuss the issue with them for another thousand years. I am confident that we will eventually come to a clear understanding.”

Well, as long as he was strong enough, whoever dared to stop his research would have his head blown up.

Yan Jia had always been glad that he had transmigrated to this era. Although the entertainment industry wasn’t very developed yet, his simple life was already good enough. Fortunately, he did not transmigrate to the world more than 600 years ago.

“The world 600 years ago could be considered a relatively backward and primitive era. There were methods of self-cultivation and culture of etiquette, but these were only available to the upper class. The lower class could only live frugally and work hard while also having to pay taxes, do forced labor, and be conscripted into the military.”

“Even then, they may not be able to reach the level of self-cultivation, as they also needed talent and money to have a chance to progress further. Yet still, with these conditions, they had to compete for the opportunity.”

“Compete for merit, rank, inheritance, resources, etc.”

“To progress further, one must compete. Not fighting means death.”

The Academy’s influence 400 years ago had been greatly expanded, but it was still not enough. He had to fight for it, fight with the dynasty, fight with the royal family, and fight with the World clans.

The good thing about the Academy compared to the dynasty was that it was extraordinary. On the first day of entering the school, this was told to all the students in clear, precise terms.

The Academy was not the Academy of the students. Rather, the students were the students of the Academy, and the Academy was only used to serve the strongest group of people. This was because they needed comrades.

Six hundred years ago, in order to suppress the other sects, the Heaven Dao Sect had opened up the wisdom of the people in the world, and they could no longer take it back.

Four hundred years ago, in order to have more students and comrades, the Academy had fought over the power of the dynasty, but they still had not become a dynasty.

Six hundred years ago, it was difficult for them to eat their fill, and it was even more impossible for them to reach the heavens in their cultivation.

“Over the years, methods of self-cultivation have continuously improved, and the threshold for self-cultivation has continuously lowered. Nowadays, as long as a person is alive, can think, and can move, they can fulfill the conditions for self-cultivation. It’s just that the pace of self-cultivation may be slower.”

“For most people who lack natural talent or understanding, they must endure and persist using their lifespan. They persist through middle and old age and may eventually understand the fundamental principles. Those with a shorter lifespan may take hundreds of years to comprehend these principles, while those with a longer lifespan would continue to persist till they grasp the concept.”

The problem of resources in the Shanhai World had already been solved in these six hundred years. The rest were things that needed to be considered when they reached the Avatar stage.

There was no need for miracle cures, and no need for wonders of the world, if there were any, it was an added bonus, if not, it was not that important.

Before the Avatar, one only needed to cultivate step by step.

Even if it was like the signature of the Golden Crow Academy, the Golden Crow Avatar, one could rely on their lifespan to make it.

However, most people would still give up on the Golden Crow Avatar because ordinary people’s lifespan would not be able to make it through.

For normal people, if they did not awaken the Bloodline, they would be able to live past 100 years without illness or disaster. Of course, this was the ideal situation. If one was injured or sick, they would reduce their lifespan.

According to the latest cultivation method that the Academy had deduced this year, no matter how lacking one’s talent was, under the condition that one’s comprehension ability was extremely poor, one had to rely on one’s lifespan to refine the Golden Crow Avatar. It required 400 years of time. But if one could not cultivate an Avatar, one’s lifespan would only be 100 years. The effect of the Golden Core on one’s lifespan was not too great.

For example, there were more than 200 people in the same batch as Yan Jia in Teacher Xuan Hui’s class. There were only a few dozen Avatars with the Golden Crow as their target. There were also dozens of ‘misters’ in this batch.

Out of the thousands of people selected from the entire Shanhai World, perhaps only a few would be able to ‘bear’ the Golden Crow Avatar within five years. Half of them would be able to ‘bear’ the Golden Crow Avatar before their lifespan expired. The remaining half would give up and switch to other Avatars. There would also be some people who would not give up even if they died.

Among these people, some would succeed, but most would fail. A hundred years later, they would only be found in their graves.

Regarding Yan Jia, the situation was a little more difficult. Although he had always announced to the public that he was targeting Golden Crow Avatar, he had a better choice. How could he give it up so easily before he completely lost all hope?

Compared to the rest of the books on Golden Crow in his hands, Yan Jia was more concerned about the book that explained Sun.

Yan Jia spent the rest of his time reading and thinking while in the car. The white cat did not disturb him at all.

It was only when they go to the front of the dormitory that the cat informed Yan Jia that they had arrived.

When Yan Jia alighted, he saw a person standing in front of his door, holding a stack of books.

He took out the key, opened the door, and let the person in. Only then did he learn that the stack of books was sent by Gou Teng.

After dismissing the delivery guy, Yan Jia found out that the books he had borrowed from the library could be found in this stack. The other books were also related to Golden Crow or other fire-type strange beasts. The other two books were related to Sun and Stars Demiplane.

“You’re really thoughtful.” Yan Jia muttered as he stared at the stack of books in front of him.

He could feel Gou Teng’s sincerity. Perhaps to the latter, these books could be found with just a command. But to Yan Jia, they were indeed of great help.
