Asking Li Xingkong to create a complete system for someone else is naturally beyond his capabilities; at least, he can't do that right now.
However, there are other ways to assist in cultivation besides using a system. While a system cannot be created, a simplified version of a cultivation-assisting device can still be made.
As for what functions this aid in cultivation should have, Li Xingkong couldn't guess on his own.
After all, his cultivation journey, while not entirely smooth sailing, hadn't encountered any major setbacks. Asking him to imagine what difficulties might have affected his cultivation would be asking too much.
He had never experienced these things himself, so even if he were to think about them, the ideas he came up with would likely differ greatly from the problems that other cultivators actually encountered. This thing that aided cultivation might not actually be of much use.
Since his own ideas didn't work, Li Xingkong had no other choice; the ancestors had already left behind the most suitable solution.
Since the goal is to solve the problems of the people, then these problems should originate from the people themselves.
Research is a common practice in Divine Land, and this method has played a crucial role in the country's development at every stage since Divine Land founding.
If you want to know what problems are troubling everyone's spiritual practice, then let's do a survey.
With that in mind, Li Xingkong contacted Old Tang directly and asked him to help with a simple survey.
After all, research requires a lot of manpower and resources, and it would take a lot of effort for Li Xingkong to do it all by himself.
While the research was underway, he could further consider what form his cultivation aid should take.
According to Li Xingkong's idea, this prop would be most suitable as a bracelet or other type of decoration, with its main function being similar to that of the game.
The biggest difference between games and reality is that games have a clear attribute panel. This panel records in detail all of an individual's attribute values, such as health, mana, Magic Power, intelligence, and agility. Every attribute of an individual is displayed in detail on this panel.
As experience points materialize, everyone can see their own growth in whatever they do, which is why some people become addicted to tedious and boring grind-based games.
You reap what you sow.
Li Xingkong had the same idea: to create something like a wristwatch that would quantify an individual's attributes, using numbers to motivate their cultivation, and at the same time, to use the wristwatch to assist in their cultivation.
As for why it's a wristwatch, from the early Fallout series to the newly popular God Space, this wristwatch is considered a well-known item in the attribute world.
If we're going to make that many watches, we'll need Divine Land's assistance; it would be quite troublesome for him to do it all by himself.
Furthermore, what additional functions this watch needs will only be determined after the research is completed and the collected questions are returned to him.
There's no rush to do it yet. We'll have to wait a few more days to find out exactly what it should look like.
Li Xingkong's investigation proceeded quickly, mainly because Divine Land paid close attention to his every move.
They might just go through the motions during regular research, but since this research was requested by Li Xingkong, they wouldn't dare to be lazy at all.
After all, who knows if Li Xingkong's Divine Sense was watching the surroundings?
As more people reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they gained a better understanding of Divine Sense, including the requirements for Divine Sense at each Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even a Late Foundation Establishment, no matter how weak, can still have their Divine Sense covering thousands of miles. Not to mention Li Xingkong now, even if he said his Divine Sense could cover the entire planet, that wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Working for this kind of person naturally requires a certain level of rigor. If one's perfunctory work is discovered, leading to Li Xingkong's dissatisfaction with the research, then who will be the scapegoat is self-evident.
In less than half a month, cultivators throughout the entire Divine Land had participated in this survey. Countless responses piled up in the hands of the various survey personnel. After several days of merging similar items, they were finally compiled into a document and handed over to Li Xingkong.
The document is divided into several parts, which are distinguished according to the cultivation stage. Ordinary people are divided into one part, Qi Refining stage into another part, and Foundation Establishment stage into yet another part.
Each part presented numerous problems for Li Xingkong.
In fact, Li Xingkong was also a little curious. In his understanding, there was basically no problem that could not be solved by hard work after cultivating to this point. If there was, it meant that his cultivation level was not high enough. He wanted to see what problems others would encounter in their cultivation process.
First, there's the section for ordinary people, where most of the questions are about sensing Spiritual Qi.
Although spiritual cultivation courses have been offered in Divine Land for a long time, it still takes a long time for ordinary people to perceive Spiritual Qi.
After sensing Spiritual Qi, it also takes a considerable amount of time to improve Spiritual Qi's control over it.
In addition, there are some other miscellaneous problems, such as not being able to read, not being able to understand the techniques, not being able to unlock the techniques... and even complaining that Li Xingkong closely linked the techniques with Divine Land culture.
It's clear that this survey was actually conducted, rather than being done casually by the staff.
After all, a normal person wouldn't make such a complaint; only those who aren't quite right in the head would say something like that.
The entire Earth Star has been brought under the Divine Land, yet some people are still clamoring to promote cultures that are already extinct. I don't know if these people are stupid or malicious.
Perhaps we were too lenient with these people back then, and only a few decades later, some people are already making noise again.
As for other issues besides Spiritual Qi, they all boil down to one word: laziness.
Too lazy to learn, too lazy to understand, so I can't understand or learn it.
Laziness is human nature, so how can Li Xingkong help him with that? Should he install an electric shock device on the watch so the lazy person gets a few extra shocks?
What's the difference between that and vigilante justice?
Turning our attention to the Qi Refining Scroll, this scroll has many problems, since most people in Divine Land are still at this stage.
The first problem with the Qi Refining Scroll is that you can't bear to part with it.
Many people have entered the Qi Refining Stage by practicing the simplified version of the technique, and their cultivation has been quite smooth, reaching the Mid Qi Refining in one go. However, although the simplified version of the technique is easier to practice, it is still a simplified version. The Qi Refining Qi Refining Stage achieved by practicing it is far inferior to that of cultivators who have reached the same level using the complete version of the technique, both in terms of power and Magic Power.
The simplified version was only intended to make it easier for them to get started, so that they could switch to the corresponding complete version of the cultivation method at an appropriate time. However, many people actually believed that they were cultivators at that level after their cultivation level improved.
He was reluctant to let go of the complete version of the cultivation method and go through the Qi Refining path again.
If you don't switch cultivation methods, you won't see a future. If you switch methods, you'll have to start all over again. Many people don't have that long-term vision.
They felt that everyone around them was Qi Refining, and since they were also Qi Refining, there was no need to switch cultivation methods; why bother?
The second question is also one I don't understand.
The complete version of the cultivation method is far more complex than the simplified version. Although the activity of the brain increases significantly after reaching the Qi Refining Stage, many people do not improve their ability to use their brains, and their comprehension remains mediocre.
Suddenly being exposed to so much knowledge, even though it was directly crammed into my brain, I subconsciously refused to understand or digest it.
