CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 477 THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE LU FAMILY (3RD UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Walking through Chu Country, Lu Xuanji felt a touch of vitality returning to the country, with the population recovering.

In just a hundred years, the population has recovered to as many as five trillion.

The speed of population recovery is beyond the imagination of the world.

This is the strength of cultivators; as long as they are willing, they can promulgate various policies to encourage childbirth.

Even, they can enforce marriage and childbirth.

Only with a sufficient population can a strong team of cultivators be supported to resist the demon race.

It seems that the number of cultivators feels somewhat lacking; under the unified coordination of the five divinity transformation cultivators, a large number of Inference Spirit Pills began to be refined.

Inference Spirit Pills can awaken spirit roots in mortals.

The higher the grade of the Inference Spirit Pill, the higher the probability of mortals awakening spirit roots.

A First Grade Inference Spirit Pill has a one in a thousand chance of awakening spirit roots; a Second Grade has a one percent chance; a Third Grade has a ten percent chance, a Fourth Grade has a fifty percent chance, and a Fifth Grade definitely awakens spirit roots.

In the Ancient Era, human race experts relied on Inference Spirit Pills to awaken spirit roots in all humans, embarking on the path of universal cultivation.

Initially, the resources of Chu Country were insufficient to support universal spirit root awakening and universal cultivation.

But with the invasion of the demon race, the high-ranking cultivators of the human race felt a sense of crisis, so a large number of First Grade and Second Grade Inference Spirit Pills were dispersed among the people.

If one had connections and background, they could even purchase Third Grade Inference Spirit Pills.

With a large number of Inference Spirit Pills consumed by mortals, the number of cultivators is constantly increasing, even expanding.

In the past, only one in a thousand could awaken spirit roots and become a cultivator;

but now, there are thirty people out of each thousand awakening spirit roots and embarking on the path of cultivation.

As the number of Inference Spirit Pills continues to be popularized, the number of cultivators is still expanding.

Feeling the changes in Chu Country, almost everywhere there are Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lu Xuanji felt a bit worried, even a bit afraid.

In the Ancient Era, universal cultivation was initiated, but it ended in failure and a miserable loss.

Because the amount of Spiritual Qi generated by heaven and earth in a given period is limited, if everyone practiced cultivation, the consumption of Spiritual Qi would be enormous, as would be the consumption of various elixirs, magical treasures, talismans, and Spirit Stones, accelerating the depletion of the world and hastening the arrival of the End of Dharma Era.

The resources of the world are limited and cannot support universal cultivation.

Similarly, universal cultivation will intensify internal competition in the cultivation realm, exacerbate various conflicts, and even lead to war.

In the end, the grand scene of universal cultivation ended in desolation.

"Universal cultivation intensifies internal competition within the cultivation realm!"

Lu Xuanji sighed slightly.

Along the way, he felt that the Spiritual Qi in Chu Country was declining, becoming thin and invisible, as if it was about to enter the End of Dharma Era.

With a flicker of footsteps, he returned to the Lu Family.

Sensing his presence, the gate opened automatically.

Lu Xuanji entered, finally feeling the rich Spiritual Qi.

"Xuanji, you’ve returned!"

At this moment, Ye Wanyi appeared.

Having not seen each other for a long time, her cultivation had also improved, now at the third layer of Nascent Soul.

"How have you been lately?"

Ye Wanyi asked.

"Everything is good; Chu Country is peaceful!" Lu Xuanji asked: "How is the Lu Family doing recently?"

"Chu Country is good, and the Lu Family is good too, but the situation is a bit chaotic!" Ye Wanyi said worriedly: "The number of cultivators is increasing, with a sense of draining the pond to catch all the fish. To deal with the crisis, Chu Country is increasing the number of cultivators, and due to the increasing demand for Spirit Veins by the number of cultivators, they are constructing large Spirit Veins, which severely draw on the external Spiritual Qi, thin as never before, less than a tenth of the past!"

Lu Xuanji asked: "And what else?"

Ye Wanyi said: "Chu Country is fully mobilized, ready for war at any time. The Lu Family’s Treasure Vault is open, and all kinds of Spirit Medicines, Elixirs, talismans, magical treasures, etc., are spread to cultivators to enhance the power of the family. In just a few decades, the number of Lu Family cultivators expanded to as many as three million. Among them, there are ten thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, two thousand Purple Mansion cultivators, only thirty Golden Core cultivators, and twelve Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Also, not long ago, Qinglian returned, becoming Chu Country’s fifth Divinity Transformation ancestor, promising to protect the Lu Family... up to now, we can be considered to have a strong backing, making us a top-class family in Chu Country. But correspondingly, we are also on the cusp of the storm, and if a crisis arises, the Lu Family is most likely to face extermination!"

"By the way, not long ago, I planned to summon Xian’Er and Fan’Er back, but they refused, intending to fight outside!"

Lu Xuanji said: "Chu Country is not safe either; making a living outside is also good!"

Then, he asked about some details.

Ye Wanyi also responded.

Lu Xuanji listened carefully, frowning slightly.

Combining the sights along the way with Ye Wanyi’s words, Lu Xuanji gradually outlined the general situation of Chu Country.

After Qinglian emerged from seclusion, she joined Chu Country, becoming the fifth Divinity Transformation cultivator of Chu Country.

For this newly ascended Divinity Transformation cultivator, the other four Divinity Transformation cultivators of Chu Country welcomed her. An additional ally means sharing the burden, which is a good thing.

Similarly, because of Qinglian’s ascension to Divinity Transformation, the Lu Family benefited from it.

Originally, as Chu Country’s territory was being conquered, many Nascent Soul families lost their land and began to migrate to the Lu Family’s territory.

Initially, things were stable, but gradually some malicious intentions emerged, intent on biting off a chunk from the Lu Family. But with Qinglian’s ascension to Divinity Transformation, they all began to curry favor.

Many Nascent Soul families willingly became vassals of the Lu Family.

Now, there are eight Nascent Soul clans and over thirty Golden Core clans willing to be vassal clans of the Lu Family.

In terms of commanding the number of cultivators, the Lu Family’s influence expanded significantly.

The Lu Family’s territory is also expanding.

As for those lesser cultivation immortality clans, it’s countless.

In the chaos, the Lu Family entered its peak period.

However, the Lu Family’s development was too rapid, and the talents of the younger generation couldn’t keep up.

For instance, Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators can be trained in large numbers as long as money is spent generously; but reaching the Purple Mansion stage is not something that simple resources can cultivate, it also requires aptitude, comprehension, destiny, opportunity, and many other factors.

The number of Purple Mansion cultivators and Golden Core cultivators in the Lu Family is significantly reduced.

In other families, the ratio of Golden Core cultivators to Nascent Soul cultivators is ten to one, twenty to one, or even thirty to one.

But luckily for the Lu Family, there are thirty Golden Core cultivators and twelve Nascent Soul cultivators.

...

Ever since the Grand Elder perished in a calamity, Ye Wanyi began to take charge of the family.

Handling family affairs, under her management, the Lu Family developed in an orderly manner. Various problems were numerous, but overall development was good.

Ye Wanyi said a lot.

Lu Xuanji listened carefully and a long while later said: "Wanyi, it is crucial to manage the family’s affairs, but you must also manage your cultivation well. With a chaotic world approaching, the world is descending into chaos. Recently, the number of fallen Nascent Soul cultivators in Chu Country is countless. Even the Beidou Celestial Venerable has fallen, let alone us Nascent Soul cultivators... your cultivation progress is a bit slow!"
