Feng Jun's seriousness was not without reason. Although he had begun releasing cultivation methods to the public, he wanted to be the one controlling the pace.
What made things especially bad was that the people cultivating in private were actually staff members of Cultural Town.
Strictly speaking, those people had uniquely favorable conditions for cultivation—the spiritual energy in the town was far stronger than outside.
Perhaps some people had not noticed the difference, but without question, there were certainly others who could feel it.
In the Kunhao Realm, with spiritual energy like this supporting them, martial cultivators could save several pills during cultivation.
It was not that Feng Jun did not want these staff members to cultivate. Everyone understood the principle that those closest to the water got the moonlight first. But in his plans, this was an arrangement for the next stage, or even the one after that. This unexpected development had clearly slipped beyond his control.
Was his desire for control too strong? No.
In all fairness, was he wrong to prioritize providing cultivation methods and pills to Lin Beauty and the others, then let them distribute them?
The town's staff could also be considered half-insiders. Feng Jun had not neglected to make plans for them, but their priority had to be moved further back.
The staff were clearly stationed beside Luo Hua, yet they could not obtain cultivation methods or pills. So were they wrong for doing everything they could to cultivate?
It could not exactly be called wrong. Feng Jun understood how they felt. Something was within easy reach, yet they could not get it. That was enough to make anyone itch with frustration.
But understanding was one thing; he would absolutely not support them. Just because something was within easy reach, did that mean it
