Ji An recorded the news of the Spirit Field being attacked into the Communication Golden Sword, and then activated it.
A streak of golden light flew towards the Law Enforcent Hall on Yingri Peak, requesting to strengthen the patrol forces on the sect’s periter to prevent similar situations.
Another flew towards the Diligence Hall on Lingxiao Mountain, where he explained his decision about the heavy losses among the low-tier disciples to the hall.
Beside him, Lin Mao’s expression was sowhat stiff. The Hall Master usually didn’t make decisions, but once he did, he was unwavering.
Fortunately, he didn’t participate in the managent of daily affairs, otherwise, there would be many ideological conflicts.
He slightly lowered his head and said:
"As you command, I will imdiately assign more people to handle this matter."
"Hold on, Hall Master Lin, please sit."
Ji An stopped him, saying seriously:
"There’s an issue we haven’t discussed. Today, let’s talk about it.
The purpose of establishing the Agricultural Hall is to cultivate more high-tier Spirit Farrs and build a logistics force as large as that of Luofeng Valley.
However, over the past three years, the developnt of the Agricultural Hall has been diocre and far from achieving this goal. Does Hall Master Lin have any brilliant ideas?"
He was being quite polite by saying ’diocre’, as the Agricultural Hall had made little progress in cultivating Spirit Farrs.
Relying on a monthly lecture for the Spirit Farr disciples, achieving the sect’s demands is almost impossible.
Lin Mao’s face showed a trace of bitterness as he said:
"Whether it’s a sect or a family, to develop, there must be enough disciples with exceptional talent.
The Hall Master knows the situation in the Agricultural Hall; the disciples we can allocate are mostly middle or lower grade, rarely top-grade talent.
If this situation cannot be resolved, the developnt of the Agricultural Hall is difficult!"
Ji An looked into his eyes calmly and said:
"The ancestor will not listen to such complaints. Think about how to achieve results under current conditions.
I don’t ask for much, just that within thirty years, the sect has two hundred Foundation Establishnt Spirit Farrs."
Lin Mao shook his head, "That’s impossible. After the demon and calamity disasters, the sect has less than seven hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Currently, all excellent disciples are prioritized by the Law Enforcent Hall and Beast Taming Hall to replenish their numbers.
Only when the sect’s military strength is assured can we discuss other matters."
There are only over seventy Foundation Establishnt Spirit Farrs, and this number is preserved only because there was no further depletion due to war.
In his view, without the addition of excellent talent disciples, eting this requirent within thirty years is a pipe dream.
"Foundation Establishnt Pill is also a big issue, and the sect’s dicinal Garden has plans for the planting of various pills.
Increasing the planting of Spirit dicine for Foundation Establishnt Pills will inevitably affect the cultivation of other Spirit dicines.
This will then affect the pill supply for Foundation Establishnt cultivators, sothing the Diligence Hall will not allow."
Cultivating Foundation Establishnt is important, but the training of Foundation Establishnt cultivators is equally crucial.
There’s also a very real concern: if the number of Foundation Establishnt cultivators isn’t controlled, conflicts over resources are bound to increase.
An increase in Foundation Establishnt Spirit Farrs can enhance the sect’s foundation, but the ergence of so many Foundation Establishnt cultivators will undoubtedly bring new issues.
Even if these Foundation Establishnt cultivators do not use pills and only ditate to absorb spiritual qi daily, over ti, the impact on the spiritual vein is not small.
Finally, Lin Mao concluded:
"The sect can indeed quickly increase the number of Foundation Establishnt cultivators, but doing so would significantly burden the sect’s spiritual vein, making it unsustainable in the long run."
The prolonged deficit of spiritual qi in the spiritual vein will inevitably cause the spirit vein grade to deteriorate slowly, which is the most deadly.
Ji An shook his head with a smile and said:
"Spirit Farrs can manage the earth qi to increase the concentration of earth vein spiritual energy; a Spirit Farr is not a burden. The real burden on the spiritual vein cos from other cultivators."
The Thick Earth Technique, Thick Earth Returning Origin Spell, and the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancent Skill he used all involve using the cultivator’s magical power to nourish the earth vein.
Over ti, he could cultivate the spiritual vein of Red Fla Peak to the Tier Two Upper Grade through his own power.
Lin Mao sighed softly, smiling bitterly:
"That’s the rationale, but Spirit Farrs cannot protect the sect’s foundation; they can only serve as the sect’s cornerstone."
While Spirit Farrs play a significant role, they hold no glory. If he had a choice back then, he wouldn’t have chosen to beco a Spirit Farr.
Ji An solemnly said:
"Let give you an advance notice of my plan.
I intend to propose to the sect to reduce the enrollnt of Spirit Farr disciples.
At the sa ti, I will improve the disciples’ benefits, providing enough pill support after entering the sect. Any disciple who does not break through to mid-stage Qi Refining within a year will be dismissed."
In his view, having early-stage Qi Refining disciples start planting Spirit Fields is entirely aningless. After casting a few magic techniques, they run out of magical power, leaving them helpless!
"Additionally, I will screen and select the most suitable planting techniques for the disciples and form groups.
Each group will have three mbers, skilled in Earth Elent, Wood Elent, and Water Elent respectively, with each specializing in one type of magic technique."
There are very few all-rounder cultivators, but with innate talent, most cultivators can specialize in one type of magic technique.
Such an arrangent can achieve 1 1 1>3. Simply put, it’s a division of labor and cooperation model from his previous life.
When the abilities of three cultivators are combined, they can create far greater value than they could individually.
Lin Mao suddenly felt enlightened, understanding the benefits of such a change as a Spirit Farr.
Combining everyone’s strengths covers individual shortcomings.
He had never considered this approach before.
Ji An continued:
"I will request the sect to change the existing rules. As long as a disciple achieves the perfection level in one planting technique, they can remain in the sect permanently.
