" Spiritual Qi revival? Isn't this a common trope in novels, where Spiritual Qi suddenly appears overnight, and everything evolves under its Spiritual Qi?"
Although he had been working on the lunar surface for the past few years, Tang Cheng had read quite a few novels of this kind during his leisure time on Earth Star, so he knew a little about these scenes.
"Could it be that Spiritual Qi is about to revive on our Earth Star? Brother Li, are you going to be at the forefront?"
Connecting Li Xingkong with the Spiritual Qi revival, this was the only conclusion Tang Cheng could come up with. As for the idea that Li Xingkong was going to initiate the Spiritual Qi revival, he wouldn't even dare to think about it. After all, although Li Xingkong's abilities were already comparable to a mini-superman, creation was far more complex than destruction.
Creating a Spiritual Qi revival would require far more effort than simply plowing the entire Earth Star.
"Hmm, not a bad idea, but unfortunately, Spiritual Qi isn't a naturally occurring substance in our universe."
If a Spiritual Qi resurgence were truly imminent, Li Xingkong wouldn't be as relaxed as he is now. An uncontrolled Spiritual Qi resurgence would only bring endless chaos, which is not the outcome he desires.
"During your previous cultivation, due to the difficulty of the Hidden Hibernating Dragon Technique and the lack of Spiritual Qi, I had to resort to modification methods to help you and Wu Ting initially step onto the path of the extraordinary."
Li Xingkong didn't let Tang Cheng continue guessing and started telling him directly.
"Due to insufficient cultivation level and lack of technical skills at the time, it was only with great difficulty that we managed to produce a single Spiritual Qi, so we couldn't benefit others in cultivation."
"But now that I've entered the Foundation Establishment stage, creating Spiritual Qi is no longer a problem, whether in terms of technical skills or my current level of ability."
Tang Cheng listened intently as Li Xingkong recounted his previous cultivation journey. Although he had some understanding of Li Xingkong before, when it came to cultivation, he and even the entire Divine Land were completely clueless.
They knew that Li Xingkong had been to the Prisoner Continent and that Li Xingkong spent a lot of time cultivating Heavenly Capital, but in their eyes, Li Xingkong's behavior was no different from that of those mystical fake Daoists. After all, no matter how much they spied on him, they couldn't see into the thoughts in Li Xingkong's mind.
This time, when Li Xingkong recounted his cultivation journey in person, Tang Cheng wanted to hear every single word.
"So, when you were cultivating before, it was actually like cultivating in the Dharma-ending Age?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Cultivating in an era of abundant Spiritual Qi and cultivating in the degenerate age are two completely different concepts.
One allows anyone to embark on spiritual practice as long as they meet the requirements, while the other is entirely different.
"Hmm, in some ways they are indeed similar."
Li Xingkong stroked his chin.
"So, what you mean by the Spiritual Qi revival is..."
Having heard Li Xingkong speak to this point, Tang Cheng was perfectly clear about what Li Xingkong was trying to say.
"That's right, I'm going to start mass-producing Spiritual Qi and manually bring about a Spiritual Qi revival on Earth Star."
Li Xingkong's words were very firm.
"With the revival of Spiritual Qi, doesn't that mean I'll finally have a chance to formally begin cultivation?"
Upon hearing Li Xingkong's words, Tang Cheng's breathing became heavier, and he clearly appeared somewhat excited.
"Of course. While I can't make everyone on Earth Star born equal and like dragons, I can certainly help everyone on Earth Star embark on the path of cultivation within my power."
"Wow, Brother Li..."
Tang Cheng gripped Li Xingkong's hand tightly, unsure of what to say.
After a while of excitement, Tang Cheng finally recovered from his outburst. This matter was clearly no small thing. The revival of Spiritual Qi involved the entire Earth Star and could even fundamentally change the entire Earth Star's landscape. This was clearly not something he could decide on his own.
Although Li Xingkong is still the main figure in this matter, someone needs to plan the steps for the revival of Spiritual Qi, how to revive it, and where to start.
Li Xingkong's conversation with him, revealing this information, also carried this meaning.
Creating Spiritual Qi is his area of expertise, and no one can help him with that. However, the subsequent distribution of Spiritual Qi and where it should begin to revive are many things to consider. Obviously, Li Xingkong is unwilling to put his mind to this; it's better to let the professionals do what they're good at.
"If everyone starts cultivating after the Spiritual Qi revival, wouldn't all walks of life in modern society undergo earth-shattering changes? The entire social structure would be disrupted."
After daydreaming for a while about the wonderful fantasies that awaited me on my journey of spiritual practice, these fantasies gradually shifted from the personal to the broader societal context.
"If everyone goes to cultivate immortality, who will do the jobs in society? Every industry will probably decline."
A society where Spiritual Qi is reviving is certainly a good thing, but according to Li Xingkong, if everyone has the opportunity to cultivate and there is no distinction between superior and inferior Spiritual Root, then the existing social structure will collapse directly.
Li Xingkong had actually considered this point, but he wasn't very knowledgeable about politics and didn't understand much about the various political factions.
However, one sentence from his many years of study left a very deep impression on him.
"The foundation of social progress lies in the liberation of productive forces. Liberating productive forces is the fundamental task in realizing socialism."
This matter had been mentioned in political classes throughout the entire learning process, so Li Xingkong's idea was quite simple.
To achieve socialism, he doesn't understand the theory, nor does he know how to manage or lead; he certainly can't do it on his own.
But liberating productive forces—that's something he can do.
After the Spiritual Qi revival, modifying the Qi Refining stage techniques and creating a beginner-friendly technique that everyone can practice based on existing techniques would be incredibly easy.
This practice doesn't need to have any special effects; it can prolong life, prevent all diseases, and allow an ordinary person to abstain from food and ride the wind—this is something that can be easily accomplished.
Putting aside other aspects, if the entire Divine Land people could practice even the simplest act of fasting, then the foundation for the entire Divine Land's development towards socialism would be laid.
Once the basic material needs of the people are fully met, the productive forces will be unleashed.
As for what direction the development of society would take after this material foundation was established, Li Xingkong didn't care much about that.
After all, from his current perspective, no matter which direction civilization develops in, he can serve as the greatest source of confidence and support for the entire Divine Land, and no one can hinder its development.
As for other places on Earth Star besides Divine Land, although the Spiritual Qi is abundant, Li Xingkong's abilities are limited. Perhaps when he has achieved success in his cultivation, he will have time to take care of other places.
