You You was truly busy this time, not only because of the accumulated daily work from their time in the Upper Realm, but also because of the development of the entire Zhenyan Sect. Since the last Immortal Sect Competition, the Zhenyan Sect had directly joined the ranks of first-class immortal sects. Especially after the Qiu Yue incident, the prestige of the Zhenyan Sect reached a new height.
It's no exaggeration to say that the True Transformation Sect is showing signs of becoming a leading sect in the immortal realm. But the key question is, does their sect truly possess the strength to achieve this? In You You's opinion, no.
Although Feng Rong and Yuan Qi are of divine race origin, their strength can overwhelm any high-level cultivator from any sect. However, the overall strength of the sect's disciples is not very high. Of course, Shui Yan and the others are not weak, but they are only at the Golden Core level.
Take high-level cultivators as an example. The entire True Transformation Sect, including Feng Qi who has just formed his Nascent Soul, has fewer than five people in total, and their Nascent Soul cultivation is basically zero. This is impossible in other immortal sects. First-class immortal sects would have at least five Nascent Soul cultivators in their ranks.
Of course, given Shuiyan and the others' talent, it's not impossible for them to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in time. But currently, the True Transformation Sect is indeed in an awkward situation of a talent gap. It doesn't lack top-tier experts, nor does it lack talented junior members; what it lacks are mid-level talents.
And most importantly, educational resources within the sect are becoming scarce. Although Qiu Zhang is there, things don't seem to be a problem at the moment. But in reality, Qiu Zhang is only proficient in both swordsmanship and weaponry; he can excel in both, but he faces difficulties in other areas.
As for alchemy, Wei Bi could teach him some techniques, but he himself had only recently become a seventh-level alchemist. He was fine before the seventh level, but he would need to explore on his own for anything above that level. Although the sect possessed many alchemy formulas and cultivation methods thanks to the Qiu Zhang Jue from back then, there was still a difference between having a teacher and not having one.
Next, regarding formations, Yuan Qi is proficient in formations, but the formation methods of the gods are always different from those of cultivators. Yuan Qi can teach some of them, but he cannot teach them in too much depth.
Surprisingly, the least worrisome situation in the end was the cultivation of magic, because Nie Zheng had already resolved that issue after his return. As a master of all skills, he was more than capable of teaching his disciples.
The biggest problem lies with talisman cultivators and beast cultivators. Currently, talisman cultivators are basically left to their own devices, with Ling Qi being the most powerful. However, as the sect's chief steward, he has no time to teach talisman cultivator disciples and can only occasionally offer a few pointers to a few individuals.
The Yuan family brought many talisman cultivation manuals, so there was no shortage of teaching materials, but the same problem remained: there were no teachers!
Needless to say, beast cultivators are the least numerous disciples in the sect now. It's not that they lack the aptitude for beast cultivation; rather, this area is completely vacant. Many disciples have switched to it, leaving only a handful who persist. While they can learn cultivation techniques alongside others, anything involving spirit beasts requires the help of the Fenze little monster for experimentation. There's no systematic cultivation system, and even the spirit beasts they tame are mostly captured by Fenze.
In general, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term, but it won't work in the long term!
Ling Qi was also somewhat troubled, "If only there were more relics like those of Master Qiu Zhang, that would be great?" It would be good to bring back a few more remnant souls!
"It's not that simple!" Feng Rong retorted casually. "Do you think ruins are everywhere?" Back then, the Feng family spent so much effort to find Qiu Zhang's ruins, which hadn't been discovered by anyone yet.
“Yes, the ruins are out of the question!” You You nodded. “After all, not everyone is like Qiu Zhang, who couldn’t pass on his cultivation technique even after ten thousand years!”
Qiu Zhang: "..." He felt like he was being subtly insulted.
"We must think of another way!" You You pondered carefully. "What we are more concerned about now is beast cultivation and talisman cultivation. Ling Qi, are there any high-level cultivators in these fields outside, like Wei Bi before, who are independent cultivators?" It would be helpful to invite them to give lectures.
“Most high-level cultivators choose a sect to join, and very few are willing to be independent cultivators like Wei Bi!” Ling Qi shook his head and sighed, “It would be great if elders from other sects could come to our sect to teach.”
"Come to my sect..." You You's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something. "It's not impossible! We can hold some inter-sect learning and exchange activities, and exchange teachers or disciples from time to time, so that each can go to different sects to study for a period of time." Isn't that just student exchange? It's a common practice in universities nowadays.
Ling Qi was also taken aback, nodding repeatedly and saying, "This method is excellent. It avoids the conflict with other sects over personnel and ensures that our disciples have someone to teach! It kills two birds with one stone!"
"But the other side might not be willing to teach with all their heart!" Feng Rong couldn't help but remind them. "Other sects aren't like ours, where all disciples are treated equally. Most of them have elite disciples, inner disciples, personal disciples, and so on. Putting aside whether the person you exchange with will teach you seriously, even if you exchange your disciple with another sect, they might not be willing to teach you everything they know."
“That’s absolutely right!” Yuan Qi nodded in agreement. “These days, very few sects, especially top-tier ones, maintain internal harmony. They only diligently train their elite disciples. They don’t even care about all their own disciples, let alone those from other sects. Unless…”
“Unless we have what they need!” Youyou lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, “What if we do have it?”
The group was taken aback. Ling Qi said, "Even if they do, they might be willing to do their best once or twice, but after a while they might..." People are never satisfied. It's not that the True Exploration Sect can't offer benefits, but doing so would only encourage them to become greedy.
"No, they can't take this advantage away!"
"What?" Ling Qi was taken aback.
You You continued, "Ling Qi, why is Qiu Zhangjue still so popular after so many versions have been released?"
“Because that’s a top-tier cultivation technique…” Ling Qi replied subconsciously.
"No!" Youyou shook her head. "It's because the updates are fast and the spread is wide! And everyone knows it will get stronger and stronger!" Once you've practiced one version, you want to practice the second version, and once you've practiced the second version, you want an even stronger one, so no matter how many versions are released, there will always be people scrambling to get them.
"But..." What does this have to do with them looking for a teacher?
You You suddenly smiled and said, "What if all the cultivation techniques of our True Yan Sect... could be updated like the Qiu Zhang Jue?"
Ling Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant, and his face flashed with joy. "I understand, I will make the arrangements right away!" He quickly bowed and turned to walk out of the hall.
