Chapter 117 Batch Production
Enraged by Ji Rong's words, Jiao Jue immediately took to the sky and roared at Ji Rong, "You stupid bird, are you tired of living!"
"Knowledge empowerment and spiritual energy supplementation—even these rare and precious treasures are useless to them. What are they if not trash!"
"Stop arguing, everyone." Gu Qingqing transformed into her Three-Flower Fox form and stood in the middle.
She struggled against the imposing aura emanating from Ji Rong and Jiao Jue.
He stammered, "Although the ancient shaman lineage has many wise men, most of them probably don't like reading."
Therefore, the sorcerer can attain enlightenment through wisdom, skill, or strength; Ah Rong, you've read the sorcery, you should know that not all great sorcerers attain enlightenment through wisdom!
Jiao Jue and Ji Rong realized they had fallen into a trance after hearing Gu Qingqing's words.
Ji Rong shook his head, composed himself, and respectfully said to Jiao Jue, "Brother Jinlong, not all living beings can become emperors or saints."
Along our journey, we have seen countless people below the Profound Spirit Realm, who never break through this barrier in their entire lives, even when we lived in Zhongzhou in our childhood.
Among all living beings, those who can reach the Profound Spirit Realm are already considered great cultivators.
These beings with low cultivation levels are not useless; they can do what they are capable of and create irreplaceable value.
Therefore, we need to categorize them and let them do what they are good at and practice the methods they can understand.
"Brother Jinlong, I'm good at sorting things; you take a break, and I'll sort them and bring them back before you get busy."
Ji Rong's words made sense, and the horn-shaped jade was perfectly acceptable. He sank into the pool and said no more.
Ji Rong then called Ji Zhuang and took the witch out.
Gu Qingqing reminded her that if that was the case, she should go find Wu Guang and explain things to him again.
There are still 743 people on the mine of Wangfeng Island who have not yet undergone tempering.
Ji Rong pondered for a moment and decided that they should first give this group a comprehensive tempering.
She remembered Aunt Huang's words: those with high cultivation levels may not necessarily be able to read books, but those who can read books will definitely have high cultivation levels.
The knowledge in this world is so precious. I am now like a divine vessel filled with knowledge. They only need to stay in the pool to gain knowledge. Ji Rong believes that no one will refuse.
She thought, she has ten leaves; therefore, she can divide them into ten levels, and one leaf will open every hour.
This is how the best candidates of the ancient shaman lineage are selected first.
Since it's a selection process, there must be a large number of people involved.
Ji Rong instructed the witch to screen all the tribespeople on Xifeng Island, noting down those willing to undergo tempering, and that they would come to pick them up in three days.
However, this time the tempering is no longer free; a small amount of spirit crystals must be paid to prevent those who enter from taking it for granted.
Yanwu nodded, got on Ji Zhuang's back, and returned to Xifeng Island.
Ji Rong believed that one must have courage and vision on the path of cultivation. If one is unwilling to obtain such obvious benefits because of a few spirit crystals, such a person is destined not to go far, and even if he has high talent, he is not worth the effort to cultivate.
Conversely, if someone has low aptitude but still musters the courage to participate in this tempering process, then Ji Rong is willing to put in more effort for such a person, even if it's futile.
She then went to Huofeng Island and summoned Wu Yue to break the seal on Wangfeng Island.
Upon arriving at Wangfeng Island, Ji Rong found Wu Guang and explained in detail the benefits and risks of tempering.
Thinking about the tempering pool, her eyes darted around, and she said in a serious tone, "The tenth elder of your ancient witch lineage, Tunwu, was the first to go in for tempering. At that time, we didn't consider the issue of talent, and the tempering pool was completely open to her."
She stayed in the pool for three days. When she woke up, she had awakened the eye on her forehead, her cultivation level had increased, and she had also gained a talent.
Therefore, when you selected the first batch of people, we did not take into account the aptitude of the ordinary people, and we sent them to the tenth level. As a result, some people opened their forehead eyes, while others were dumbfounded.
We have now changed the tempering pool, and it now has ten levels, progressing gradually from low to high.
Once the tempering process begins, one layer will be unlocked every hour.
If anyone looks suspicious, Brother Jinlong will grab them, so you don't need to worry about safety.
Tempering not only strengthens the body, refines the flesh and blood, and stimulates the power of the bloodline, but also allows knowledge to be directly imprinted into the brain.
The longer you stay, the more you will gain.
Although tempering requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, you don't need to worry about that; Brother Jinlong has already covered the bulk of the cost, so you only need to contribute a little.
The fifty-seven people who went in earlier don't need to be counted.
Afterwards, anyone who can stay in the tempering pool for a full moment will receive 200 spirit crystals each.
You can pay in one lump sum, or you can pay a little first, and then hand over 30% to 40% of the mining earnings until you have paid 200 spirit crystals.
Those who came out after less than a quarter of an hour, and showed no change, should be spared.
Upon hearing this, Wu Guang felt a surge of excitement and immediately bowed to Ji Rong, saying, "Of course, thank you, Lord Ji Rong, thank you, Lord Jinlong!"
Then, with a burning passion in his heart, Wu Guang ordered everyone in the mine to stop working. He gathered these hundreds of people together and quickly explained the benefits of tempering.
Upon hearing that they would not only have the Golden Dragon Lord as their protector, but also the opportunity to have knowledge directly imprinted into their minds, the people below all expressed their desire to go.
At this moment, Wu Guang said with a stern face, "But this tempering method consumes a lot of spiritual energy. If you want to go, you will have to pay some."
Upon hearing this, the crowd's initial enthusiasm waned by half.
Upon seeing this, Wu Guang shouted, "Lord Jinlong has already paid the lion's share. If you go there and activate your bloodline power and talents, then we will pay two hundred spirit crystals per person. If there is no change, we will not pay a single spirit crystal."
Lord Ji Rong said that you can go first, and pay in full after the product is refined;
Alternatively, you could pay a small amount upfront, then take 30-40% of your future mining earnings and pay it back gradually.
Seeing that many of his clansmen still hesitated, he continued, "Once your cultivation level improves, mining will become easier."
These days, it takes you almost half an hour to mine a single spirit crystal, and you have to rely on a pickaxe.
However, someone like Lady Ji Rong, who cultivates extensively, can obtain thousands of spirit crystals in a single day. Moreover, if she so desires, she can remove the impurities from the spirit crystals with her bare hands, extracting high-quality spirit crystals.
Upon hearing this, everyone no longer hesitated and once again expressed their willingness to go.
Even the dozens of people who had been there before were privately asking Wu Guang if they could go again.
Looking at the two idiots mixed in, Wu Guang sighed, "I'll go talk to Lord Ji Rong again."
With a heavy heart, Wu Guang found Ji Rong, who was sitting at his desk eating spiritual fruit, and told her about it.
Ji Rong didn't ask them to pay for the two hundred spirit crystals in the first place. These forty-seven people wanted to go for another round, and Ji Rong naturally agreed, but it was impossible for everyone to do the same in the future.
She said, "I can let these 57 people be tempered again. This special case will only be made once, and there will be no more in the future."
Those two idiots, I can't guarantee they'll become smarter after soaking in it; they might even become dumber. You need to understand that.
Wu Guang hurriedly said, "Then it is because the two of them are not fortunate enough, and it has nothing to do with you gentlemen."
Ji Rong nodded, then turned and instructed his brother on two things. The first was to lead the witch into Tuifeng Island and expand the pool to accommodate a hundred people.
The second thing was to inform Jiao Jue to go to Wangfeng Island to carry people.
Ji Zhuang nodded and flew away.
Ji Rong then said to Wu Guang, "Give the order that Wangfeng Island cease production immediately and all personnel go to Tuifeng Island for tempering."
Wu Guang excitedly replied, "Yes."
