Chapter 690: The New Generation Cultivators

In the Xia calendar year 6162, Huaxia.

Today, in all major and medium cities in Huaxia, outdoor screens are showing the same video. In the video, a man in ancient clothing looks graceful and is controlling a flying sword. He is battling a huge sea monster in the Endless Sea with various sword techniques and weapons. After a bloody battle lasting several hours, he finally slays the sea monster and then drags its massive body to a military ship.

Seeing this scene, the people watching the video could not help but cheer, it was a nationwide celebration.

In addition to this, various promotional channels continue to promote this person, as if he is about to become a savior, as if with him, the demons will be wiped out soon.

In Huaxia’s capital city Jingdu, Ning Li is also receiving numerous invitations to give speeches at training institutes, organizations, and countless banquets.

Whenever he has time, Ning Li would go because he understood the message above, that they needed skilled practitioners on the surface, and he was one of them.

Ning Li tirelessly recounts his rise, telling people how vicious the demons are and how bravely he fought. These stories were polished over and over again, logically flawless, surely influencing many to go to battle, that’s the power of an idol.

After two months of continuous activity, Ning Li declined all invitations with the excuse of seclusion. He came to the mansion in Haigang City, a visit he had planned earlier, but worldly matters delayed it.

Upon entering the mansion, Ning Li felt two extremely powerful auras, so overwhelming that he felt suffocated, and there were several other auras that surprised him, as they were not weaker than his own.

"Ning Li saw Mr."

In the living room, Ning Li respectfully bowed to Lin Jiang.

"Well done, well done. His aura is calm. It seems that Ning Li’s Nascent Soul realm is completely stable now."

"Thanks to Mr.’s guidance."

"Opportunities are equal to everyone, you did well by seizing the chance."

Lin Jiang said. In the first batch of three, only Ning Li succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul. What more can I say?

Lin Jiang chatted gently with Ning Li. Ning Li visited this time to show loyalty, to prove his dedication. Lin Jiang naturally wanted to acknowledge that.

After chatting for a while, Lin Jiang invited Ning Li to have a meal. Only then did he allow Ning Li to leave, giving him a month’s holiday to go back to his hometown to enjoy some time in the limelight. It’s not good to forget your roots. Most people enjoy this glory.

"There are more and more young cultivators now, and experts are starting to emerge. We are almost through the hardest times."

Cao Ying and Lin Jiang together escorted Ning Li out of the villa, Cao Ying said to Lin Jiang.

Although on the surface, the Huaxia Federation only had one cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, secretly there were several more, all under Lin Jiang’s private influence, and there were even more at the Golden Core Period, already exceeding a hundred. The most difficult times can be considered to be over now. Just a few more years of persistence, and there will be scenes of experts emerging.

"Yes, it’s not easy for the whole nation to practice cultivation in just a hundred years, already having Nascent Soul stage."

"When will the second batch of infant-forming treasures be settled?"

"No rush, give it another two years. This time Ning Li’s infant-forming process was very perilous, just barely got through because their time spent at the golden core stage was too short. Give them a little more time."

Lin Jiang said, without a sudden surge of spiritual energy, those spiritual medicines will have to grow slowly. Infant-forming treasures are extremely precious and cannot be wasted. Take it slowly, good things are meant for the most important people.

"In a few more years, the second generation of cultivators will start growing up."

"Don’t worry, the second generation of cultivators are not something anyone can easily reach for. If the current situation can still be maintained steadily, then let’s keep it that way."

Lin Jiang said, the quality of the second generation of cultivators is actually stable, even more outstanding than ordinary people. There is no sign of corruption at all. He knows that on the Fangzhang Continent, the second-generation cultivators work even harder than ordinary new-generation cultivators. It may take four or five generations for this group to decay. By then, supporting another group of people will be sufficient.

Jiabang Empire, refugee camp

Muse and a group of people walked into the refugee camp, smelling an unbearable stench, and seeing dirty and messy huts everywhere.

"Mr. Muse, this is the largest refugee camp in Jiabang Empire. Over 200,000 refugees live here, with more than 3,000 orphans. Almost everyone here cannot get enough food…"

A charity worker next to him explained the situation to Muse. Whether from Penglai Continent or Fangzhang Continent, the high-level people who escaped are a minority. They can rely on their savings to maintain their lives, but many middle and lower-class people, after becoming refugees, are basically bankrupt.

"How do they earn money?"

"A small number of them do the lowest-tier jobs, some do odd jobs, but the vast majority rely on our relief. However, we are also struggling. Our expenses are high, and we have been fighting wars for years. The donations we receive are decreasing."

The charity worker said that the northern countries of Shen Continent in Jiabang Empire have been fighting wars, but at a lower intensity, mainly against domestic monsters. These monsters in the region have not thrived because they have been heavily suppressed. Otherwise, Jiabang Empire would have been overthrown by them long ago.

"Well, we can help whoever we can."

Muse showed a pained expression, seeming reluctant to witness the tragic lives in the refugee camp.

Muse asked his assistant to film the environment of the refugee camp. He came this time to shoot a promotional video for publicity.

Muse has been learning about the situations of these refugees. His words are filled with kindness. He also brought some candies and such, which attracted many children. There are so many children in the refugee camp, plus orphans, probably totaling over ten thousand people.

After a whole day’s hustle, Muse drove back to the city. When passing by a building, he saw many police officers at the entrance. He took out his phone to inquire about the situation.

"Mr. Muse, the Old Capital Daily has been shut down, citing false reporting."

"What’s the real reason?"

"The Old Capital Daily published an article a few days ago, criticizing some cultivators for holding a large amount of society’s resources but not contributing to society. They only know how to exploit the common people. The article proposed limiting the number and power of cultivators, causing quite a stir."

"I see. Let’s switch to another media outlet when the time comes."

Muse said, the Old Capital Daily was a media they cooperated with. As long as you pay, they will report on everything, even if it’s just hearsay or even fake news.

The other day, Muse read an article that was written well and very radical. He suspected it was written by some of his colleagues. Muse didn’t appreciate this approach. They wanted secrecy and subtlety in their actions.

After hanging up the phone, Muse returned to his company. With support from the demon clan, he quickly established a foothold in Jiabang. He set up several undercover companies, with all senior staff being spies from Fangzhang Continent.

"Boss, we have reached an agreement with the Human Self Help Association. They have agreed to provide funding to establish a foundation and invest in cultural industries to increase awareness for refugees."

One senior staff member told Muse upon his return that they were operating under the guise of the Human Self Help Association for protection, and to leverage their tangible resources.

"That’s good. Expand our operations quickly. Traditional media may be declining, but they still have influence. Invest more money, explore various channels, and expand quickly."

"Yes, boss."

"Have the other operations started?"

"Yes, we have initiated them. The criminal forces in the border of five countries are formidable. Through covert channels, I have provided them with techniques similar to the Overlord Scroll for quick success. We are also targeting anti-social personalities, offering them dark techniques. Additionally, we have been secretly spreading righteous techniques in Shen Continent, and we have taken in numerous orphans for training."

"You are doing a great job."

Muse said. The Overlord Scroll technique has many flaws. Basically, it can’t be improved beyond the Nascent Soul stage, and it harms the body. Righteous individuals won’t practice it, but for those in precarious situations or with great ambitions, they are more willing to accept it.

"Does the boss have any other instructions?"

"No, everything is going according to plan. The most important thing for you is to keep yourselves safe."

Muse said. His words moved many people. Following Muse, he never lets his subordinates take risks, which already makes him a good boss.
