"Not very smoothly."
Liu Erlong shook her head. "Today, I looked at several decent locations, but unfortunately, none of them were suitable for founding an academy."
She sighed softly, her expression somewhat dejected.
A moment later, she suddenly smiled again and said happily:
"However, there is some good news."
"I went to find several old friends I knew before, and they all said they were willing to take positions at the academy we're founding."
"Like me, those old friends all came from commoner backgrounds. But they're quite knowledgeable and fairly strong, all at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level. Inviting them to serve as academy teachers would be more than enough."
As she spoke, Liu Erlong paused, seemingly recalling certain memories. Her tone became leisurely:
"They were commoner Spirit Masters I met while traveling the continent in the past. When they were young, they all loved freedom and refused to be bound by rules, so none of them joined any Spirit Master faction."
"However, without a powerful Spirit Master faction behind them, it was extremely difficult for commoner Spirit Masters to obtain cultivation resources and knowledge. They could only acquire them by fighting and plundering other Spirit Masters."
"So they all lived with their lives on the line. It wasn't easy for them to survive until now. You could say they were all lucky."
"Now that they're getting older, and have started families and careers, they have many more attachments. They no longer want to keep wandering outside, fighting and risking their lives. They all want a stable life."
"So when they heard that I was founding an Advanced Spirit Master Academy and inviting them to become teachers, every one of them was more than willing."
"So that's how it is." Ye Qifeng came to a realization, then smiled.
