Zhang Shuai was somewhat taken aback. "You haven't reached Foundation Establishment yet? Doesn't the 749 Bureau provide cultivation techniques and Spirit Stones? How have you still not reached Foundation Establishment? It shouldn't be that hard, right?"
"Not hard? Hehe..." Lin Xiuwen said with a bitter expression. "It's not just me. Out of more than two thousand trainees in the entire 749 Bureau, not a single one has reached Foundation Establishment."
"Why? Is Foundation Establishment really that difficult? This should be the first step of cultivation. Logically speaking, it really shouldn't be hard!"
"Did you think the 749 Bureau recruited us purely to cultivate? Actually, the main purpose of us trainees is to test the Small Heavenly Cycle Art."
"Test the cultivation technique?" Zhang Shuai was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
"Although the 749 Bureau invited the country's top paleography professors, it isn't easy to fully and accurately decipher the Small Heavenly Cycle Art. Over the past year or so, those professors have produced a total of nine versions of the Small Heavenly Cycle Art. We trainees are divided into groups to cultivate the different versions. If someone successfully reaches Foundation Establishment, that proves that version of the Small Heavenly Cycle Art is correct..."
"You said not a single trainee in the entire 749 Bureau has reached Foundation Establishment. So that means every version of the Small Heavenly Cycle Art those professors deciphered was wrong?"
"That's right, all of them were wrong. So the professors are now racing against time to study the Small Heavenly Cycle Art again, and we've been given a brief holiday. Once they come up with a newly deciphered version, we'll have to start testing the cultivation technique again."
Zhang Shuai's expression changed, and he said unhappily, "They're making you test cultivation techniques? Aren't they
