" Xiao Zhang, you've done well these past two years."
"Now they're all university presidents."
Dragon Abyss Academy, reception room.
Lu Dahai had already cut the ribbon, was chatting with someone.
Xiao Zhang opposite him was none other than Zhang Xuanqing, one of only three cultivators in the Cultivation Administration back then.
The current Dean of the Dragon Abyss Academy!
Zhang Xuanqing was only in his thirties, yet his appearance remained unchanged.
Despite having the aptitude of Five Spirit Roots, he has cultivated to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer over the years.
The patient's breathing is stable, and progress is considerable.
Like Xu Mu, he is unlikely to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
" True Person Lu, please stop making fun of me."
"You were the last one to join the bureau back then, but your skills improved the fastest."
"To be honest, if the country hadn't made me this dean, I really wouldn't have wanted to come. I'd rather be training under you."
Zhang Xuanqing, dressed in a well-fitting Zhongshan-style stand-up collar suit, gave a wry smile.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and ended up chatting quite a bit.
Lu Dahai was already very curious about the Dragon Abyss Academy, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"By the way, what does your college teach?"
Where do you recruit both teachers and students?
When asked about Lu Dahai's question, Zhang Xuanqing did not hide anything.
After all, this isn't exactly a secret.
The fact that Dragon Abyss Institute appeared before everyone was a blatant declaration to them.
The state is training a group of monks.
"It mainly teaches spiritual practice and various arts; the program is still four years long."
"The college now offers a wide range of majors, covering a broad spectrum of basic arts and crafts."
"A credit system is in place, and graduation requires accumulating a certain number of credits. Cultivation level and mastery of various arts will affect the acquisition of credits."
"The teachers were drawn from the Cultivation Administration and the Bureau 749, consisting of monks and research scholars."
"As for students, they are mainly energetic young people of school age, and of course, they must also pass their academic exams."
"According to our plan, four years from now, the first batch of Dragon Abyss University students will graduate and directly dedicate themselves to the country's research work."
Zhang Xuanqing spoke at length, and Lu Dahai nodded repeatedly as he listened.
Spiritual practice is becoming professionalized and routine.
Under this training model, the cultivation strength of the entire Great Xia will be enhanced again within a few years.
This will greatly enhance the effectiveness of numerous research efforts.
Who could have imagined that in just over a decade, the Great Xia would have undergone such a dramatic transformation?
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lu Dahai left.
This marks the end of a busy week.
However, his interview and ribbon-cutting video have spread rapidly online over time.
Liu Yingjun turned off the interview video he had just watched and the news about the establishment of the first spiritual university.
Push open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the private office and overlook the bustling night view of Shenzhen City.
Unable to resist, he gently exhaled a breath of turbid air carrying a faint spiritual light.
Ten years have passed, and he has risen from a junior white-collar worker in a private company on the verge of bankruptcy.
He transformed himself into a mid-level manager at the Goose Factory Internet Sect.
The range of change is simply dreamlike.
Back then, when that Basic Daoyin Breathing Method circulated online...
He practiced for a few months with a try-it-and-see attitude, and actually succeeded in Qi Introduction.
Although his talent was average, after many years of wasting time, he unexpectedly broke through to the Qi Refining Second Layer.
He quickly rose to become a mid-level manager at the Goose Factory Internet Sect, earning an annual salary of one million.
This left him somewhat dazed.
In fact, relevant departments have extended olive branches to him in the past two years.
He hesitated as well.
Going to the government goes without saying, but the future prospects for spiritual cultivation might be even greater.
However, the background checks are strict, and my own social experience is complex.
He's older, so he'll definitely start from the bottom or outside the official staff.
The biggest benefit is that one's spiritual practice can advance further, but so what?
He was just lucky; he happened to successfully Qi Introduction.
I know my own aptitude best. Over the years, my Qi Refining Second Layer has remained unchanged.
The older one gets, the slower one's cultivation progresses.
After working and doing jobs for so many years, he really didn't want to get involved anymore.
Having finally achieved immortality, he wanted to lie down and rest for a while before making any further moves.
Goose Factory offered him a seven-figure annual salary, a top-tier apartment, a luxury car, and stock options.
In his view, these things might be fortuitous opportunity.
"Knock knock."
In a moment of distraction, the crisp sound of high heels rang out, accompanied by a knock on the door.
Liu Yingjun snapped out of his daze.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a slender young female secretary walked in.
She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a beautiful figure, pretty face, and sparkling almond-shaped eyes.
Her long hair was neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head, revealing her fair and slender neck.
A typical urban woman.
"Hello, Mr. Liu."
" The Spirit Realm Project team's discussion will begin in five minutes in conference room A3."
"Mr. Li has already gone over there, don't forget about yours!"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Liu Yingjun nodded and straightened his suit cuffs.
The Spirit Realm Project is one of Goose Factory's largest strategic projects in recent years.
The aim is to explore the possibility of deeply integrating a cultivator's Divine Sense with the most advanced holographic ecological capsule technology and game engine.
They were trying to create an immersive interaction that could be achieved through Divine Sense.
It can even influence the virtual world where one practices and comprehends insights.
If successful, this will not only be a groundbreaking entertainment product, but also a huge boost to the civilian application of cultivators' spiritual cultivation.
This is why the government allows these large companies to get involved in spiritual practice.
They are not allocated the state's designated resources, but they can organize loosely organized forces among the people.
With the help of its own technological means, it burns through money and creates results.
It is beneficial and harmless to the country.
After all, their achievements are the nation's achievements.
The rapid progress of virtual sandboxes in the Spirit World in recent years is directly related to the intense competition among major domestic companies.
Major manufacturers are conducting extensive research on civilian-use technologies for Spirit Machinery, under the premise of legal authorization.
While contributing to the cultivation cause of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are also restless ordinary people.
They wanted to achieve some merit or steal some personal gain as this great era approached...
In a Shenzhen City within the city of Shenzhen.
In a dimly lit cubicle with a small shop sign hanging on it.
Zhao Dezhu, a greasy middle-aged man, lowered his voice.
He spoke mysteriously to the three teenagers in front of him.
"Don't believe the official stuff. They're keeping things to themselves. They might teach you some good stuff, but..."
"I, Zhao Dezhu, reached the First Layer of Qi Refinement entirely on my own!"
"Listen to me, my method works the best!"
The three boys in front of me, around thirteen or fourteen years old, were all former Qi Sensing individuals.
His eyes were both innocent and longing.
Those who sense qi are different from cultivators.
Those who can sense Qi do so by using Basic Daoyin Instruction to detect Spiritual Power, thus confirming the existence of Spirit Root.
He has not yet successfully Qi Introduction into his body and become a cultivator.
To become a cultivator, one must possess Qi Refinement technique and advance to the First Layer of Qi Refinement.
Some people who are skilled in Qi cultivation, whether by luck or by chance, can occasionally succeed in Qi Introduction and become cultivators.
Liu Yingjun was like this, and so was Zhao Dezhu.
However, without a method, they cannot control Spiritual Power at all; they can only passively sense it.
Personal experience is utter nonsense.
Since everyone's constitution is different, indiscriminately imparting knowledge would undoubtedly be a case of profiting at someone's expense and causing death.
Zhao Dezhu exhaled and spoke, demonstrating the incorrect movements.
"Come on, repeat the Mnemonic with me, focus your mind on your Dantian, and inhale deeply!"
The boys held their breath and tried their best to imitate.
Soon, a thin boy's face turned bright red.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Uncle De... Uncle De..."
"I feel like... my stomach is going to burst!"
