"This seclusion will probably last about a year; refining the Earth Vein will also take some time."
Li Xingkong Li Xingkong ever been in such a formal environment.
Compared to the current environment, my previous seclusion was truly like that of a caveman.
After sharing her estimated time with Old Tang, Old Tang fell into a slight state of thought.
"A year isn't a long time, but the matter of Spiritual Qi revival can't be delayed. It will definitely begin to move forward within this year."
Li Xingkong's seclusion was not dangerous, so Old Tang didn't need to worry too much about that. His main concern was how to proceed with the Spiritual Qi revival without Li Xingkong's support.
"Cultivation is a slow process, and it cannot be rushed."
Li Xingkong had naturally followed the entire cultivation process of that group of elite personnel on the moon. Even for that group, it would take a considerable amount of time to make a name for themselves in the Qi Refining Stage. Since he was only in seclusion for a year, the impact would not be significant.
Especially when it comes to cultivation involving so many people Divine Land, the initial popularization and promotion alone takes a considerable amount of time. Given this population base, it's perfectly normal to measure it in years.
"Oh, by the way, take a look at this."
Old Tang tapped the antique tea table in front of him, and a seamlessly embedded screen appeared on the table, displaying a document.
"This is our initial plan for popularizing spiritual practice. The plan is called 'Ji Xia,' which means 'ascending to heaven.'"
Old Tang waved his hand on the tea table, and the document flashed and appeared on the table in front of Li Xingkong.
The application of this high technology, placed in this cultivation room, gives it a distinctly fantasy-like feel.
Li Xingkong glanced down at the document a few times, then quickly read through it all.
This Rosy Clouds Ascension Plan divides the popularization of cultivation into three phases, which are expected to be completed within ten years.
In the first phase, military regions were re-established in several areas where the Earth Vein were deployed. Relevant personnel were selected from the entire army to build a cultivator army as soon as possible. On the one hand, this was to ensure social stability after the popularization of cultivation. On the other hand, it was to establish a basic management framework before the popularization of cultivation.
At the same time, in terms of compulsory education and social guidance, the theory of meditation has begun to be vigorously promoted. Although cultivation is not just about meditation, it is certainly inseparable from this basic skill. Although the popularization of Spiritual Qi requires Li Xingkong to refine more Earth Vein, before that, preparatory courses for sensing Spiritual Qi can be put on the agenda.
Although we talk about cultivation eloquently in our daily lives, and many people have the idea of seeking immortality and enlightenment, if you really ask them whether they have actually tried cultivation, many people probably don't even have the willpower to sit in meditation for 5 minutes, let alone talk about embracing oneness or circulating the primordial energy.
Having grown accustomed to the hustle and bustle of daily life, finding a way to calm down is a challenge in itself.
In the second stage, after cultivating enough practitioners in the first stage to cover most cities across the country, we can begin to formally popularize spiritual practice among the people, including the perception and utilization of Spiritual Qi and the promotion of related spiritual methods. At the same time, we will formally establish relevant spiritual management organizations to guide and correct the spiritual practice of the general public.
As for an institution specifically for managing cultivators, there was originally an idea to establish one, but this idea was later overturned. After all, according to the idea of universal cultivation, once it is promoted, all citizens of Divine Land will have the right to become cultivators, so there will be no need for such an institution.
If there are only a few practitioners, then managing these few people is necessary. But if everyone is a practitioner, then the original management organization will naturally have the function of managing practitioners, and there is absolutely no need to set up such an organization.
In the third stage, after Li Xingkong completes the arrangement of the Earth Vein throughout the entire Divine Land, the entire Divine Land will officially become the first cultivation civilization on Earth Star. After reaching this stage, a series of historical issues will need to be reconsidered, as well as related foreign policy adjustments and a series of overall national policy adjustments.
Although this phase of adjustment has little to do with cultivation and is basically unrelated to Li Xingkong, it is the most important part of this plan because cultivation fundamentally changes the underlying logic of the entire society—people need to rely on collectively produced materials to survive.
Of the four basic necessities of life—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—food has always been a major issue. Even in modern times, how to ensure that all Divine Land People eat better remains a challenge.
However, once one embarks on spiritual practice, this problem will fundamentally change.
The social changes brought about by the seemingly ordinary practice of fasting are unimaginable to most people.
The biggest impact is that many people who had to work desperately just to make a living may choose to give up altogether after this.
After giving up, people have a lot of free time, and time is exactly what spiritual practice requires. This will lead to a very straightforward social phenomenon: the more people pursue their careers and material enjoyment, and the more time they invest in work, the slower their spiritual progress will be.
Those who are indifferent to the needs of life and only want to be idle or cultivate themselves will actually make faster progress in their spiritual practice.
This is completely contrary to the current social trend of becoming increasingly chaotic. At that time, work will become something that hinders spiritual practice.
Therefore, in Old Tang's plan, the Body Tempering Grass, a spiritual herb, will play a role far exceeding its intrinsic value.
It will become the general equivalent in the cultivation world, serving as the circulating currency after Divine Land becomes a cultivation civilization.
After all, Body Tempering Grass has the effect of promoting Body Tempering. Whether or not one has Body Tempering Grass, the speed of cultivation is completely different.
After becoming cultivators, most people's biggest need is how to cultivate faster, which is inevitable. As for the fact that many people still think about wealth and luxury even after cultivating, that's not necessarily a bad thing, since the world is so big and you can go anywhere outside of Divine Land.
Li Xingkong had no other thoughts about the plan that Old Tang had given him. He was fine with asking questions about cultivation, but he was never good at anything related to policy.
Let the professionals handle the professional matters; he didn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing.
In his view, the plan was already very detailed. As for whether other problems would arise, there would definitely be problems. Nothing in life is ever smooth sailing; it's just a matter of dealing with each situation as it comes.
I don't think there's a problem.
After a cursory glance, Li Xingkong returned the document to Old Tang.
Although he didn't understand these aspects, the fact that he was shown this document before its release already demonstrated Li Xingkong's crucial role in this plan.
