Chapter 149: The Reason Why the True Dan Monk Was Not Born
Xu Bian, who is over 160 years old, is still in good spirits.
It's just that the innate monk is only two hundred years old, and he has reached the twilight of his life, and his temples are covered with gray hair.
But at this moment, he stood aside respectfully, and Zhang Shan was sitting at the table looking through the graduation list of outstanding students from the island schools for hundreds of years.
The academy cultivates mortals with cultivation qualifications, and the semester is six years.
Among them, the outstanding ones will be promoted to the 100 colleges of the Zhenwu Sect after graduation and receive a further 12-year education.
Almost all of the people who can enter the academy are monks who have the potential to break through the innate nature.
However, in the past few hundred years, the number of monks who can enter the sect academy has decreased year by year.
In the past hundred years, the number of disciples who can be promoted to the academy every year has hovered around fifty!
And the total number of mortals on Sitao Island is more than 60 million!
"With this admission rate, it's no wonder that Sitao Island hasn't given birth to a single True Dan monk for hundreds of years." Zhang Shan complained ruthlessly.
The cultivation environment of Sitao Island is superior, even if it is a True Dan monk, you must have the identity of the True Inheritance to become the owner of this island, but if you are born on this island and promote the True Pill, you can at least occupy the position of a deputy island master before the island owner appears, and have the qualifications to use part of the resources on the island.
But in the past few hundred years, none of the monks who were born on Sitao Island have been promoted to the True Dan!
The reason for this can be glimpsed from this admission rate.
"Dean Xu, can you tell me why the promotion rate of the monks of the Island Academy is so low?"
Xu Bian was silent for a moment and explained the reason.
"Since the death of the previous owner, the only amount of funding that the Sitao Island Academy can get every year is the appropriation of the General Academy."
"At the beginning, the island school still had funds left over from previous years, which was supported for a period of time."
"But the funding has been decreasing, and in the end, we can only reduce the remuneration of tutors and various training expenses."
"A vicious circle, which eventually ended up where it is today."
Xu Bian was a little embarrassed, he was a monk from Sitao Island, after twelve years of training in the academy and after training outside, he realized that it was almost impossible for him to break through the True Pill in this life, so he returned to Sitao Island and served as the dean of the Island Academy.
It's a pity that he intends to revitalize the Island Academy, but he doesn't have the ability.
Zhang Shan nodded, admitting that what Xu Bian said made some sense.
The various cultivation resources on Sitao Island are very rich, especially the medium-sized fire veins and associated mineral veins, which are all extremely valuable spiritual objects.
But these are the resources that the sect left to the island master to cultivate true disciples.
Except for the owner, no one else is eligible to mine and use.
If you steal a little, no one cares, but it is of little use to take only a little; Take too much, the Sect Law Enforcement Hall is ready to do things at any time.
Without the owner, the underground resources cannot be mined, and the island school cannot get the part of the resources allocated by the owner, and it seems to be normal for the situation to deteriorate.
But Zhang Shan looked at the number of resources allocated by the General Institute and the expenditure of the school.
Speechless for a moment.
During the Zhenyuanguan, in order to develop Yankuang City, Zhang Shan investigated the income and expenses of the Zhenyuanguan and used it as a reference.
The resources allocated by the General Academy to the Sitao Island Academy were three layers more than the resources that Zhenyuanguan used to cultivate disciples at that time!
However, the number of disciples cultivated by both sides who have the hope of breaking through the innate in their lifetime is about the same.
Even the true yuan concept is even exceeded!
There have been no True Dan monks on Sitao Island for hundreds of years, on the side of Zhenyuanguan, Zhang Shan is not himself, Wang Yang, Wang Ke, Guo Xiaoguo, Yao Lin, and Song Wen who stayed in Zhenyuanguan are all existences that have the hope of breaking through the True Dan.
There are many more up-and-coming talents behind them desperately chasing them.
In this comparison, the gap between the Sitao Island School and the True Yuan View is too big!
But it is clear that the resources allocated by the General Academy to the Island Academy alone are more than the resources that Zhenyuan Guan took out to cultivate disciples.
Coupled with the concentration of the aura of the Desolate Ancient Great Domain, the cultivation environment is dozens of times stronger than that of Baifang Prefecture.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Shan knew that there was a problem here, not just because of the lack of the islandist's resources.
So, Zhang Shan said again.
"Dean Xu, think about it again, is there anything you haven't said?"
Others can say they don't know.
Xu Bian can't.
With his identity, especially the innate ninefold cultivation, if there is anything wrong with the Island Academy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him!
At most, hide it from him for a while, and if you can hide it for a few years, it will be up to the sky!
Xu Bian paused, he sensed something was wrong from Zhang Shan's words, sighed in his heart, and said.
"There's one more thing, indeed."
In the face of Zhang Shan, even though Xu Bian is much older, he is still under great pressure.
This is the pressure that comes with the absolute power disparity.
Xu Bian didn't want to say it, but under this pressure, he had to think about whether he would have a chance to say it in the future if he didn't say it now.
Moreover, he didn't want to say it at all.
There are many things, even he is very dissatisfied.
It's just that there are too many implications, and he can't get out, so he can only endure it.
If he is not discovered, he will choose to protect himself.
But as long as he is pushed, he will be out of the way.
Zhang Shan slowly listened to Xu Bian tell about some of the situation on Sitao Island over the years.
"I see, it's pig stream education." When Zhang Shan heard half of it, he completely understood what the situation was on Sitao Island before.
Sixty million mortals, but divided into five nations.
These five countries are in turn ruled by the cultivators' families.
One day in power, one wants to be in power.
What should I do to secure my status?
Blocking knowledge and controlling the necessities of life makes mortals exhaust all their strength in order to survive.
None of this can be done on Serao Island.
They can set up a mortal state, and the True Martial Sect won't care, in the end, it's just a way to manage mortals.
There is no country, and something similar will appear.
But these must not violate the rules of the True Martial Arts.
In the rules of the True Martial Arts Sect, there is the dissemination of knowledge, martial arts, and the cultivation of cultivators.
It is even less realistic to control the necessities of life.
The True Martial Arts Sect has existed for millions of years.
All aspects have long since developed to a frightening level.
There is no such thing as not having enough to eat and not being warm.
The staple food of mortals has long been surplus to a terrifying level, that is, from now on, they will not grow food, and the food stored by the True Martial Sect will supply the mortals of the entire Desolate Ancient Domain, which is enough for them to eat for four or five thousand years.
These mortals in power on Sitao Island are just greedy and stupid, but they are not stupid, and they will not do this kind of obvious death-seeking thing to create problems in this regard.
But this is not the only way to consolidate your rule.
In cases where many means are not available.
It became an excellent way for mortals to cut off their own futures.
It's very hidden, and on the surface, there is no problem at all.
It is also difficult to criticize when it is discovered afterwards.
Because it's mortals' own choice!
And what did they do? No, they didn't do anything! It can even be said that they are working diligently for the happiness of mortals!
The education of pig breeding is so terrifying!
How did the Five do it?
They gave their mortals a prosperous and prosperous life.
So that they don't have to worry about eating and drinking even if they don't work.
Just do a little work and get the resources you need to have fun.
It has also vigorously developed all kinds of interesting affairs to meet the spiritual needs of mortals.
Make them addicted.
Is there something wrong with that?
That's right!
This is the life that mortals dream of!
But will such a person really move forward?
There will be, there will always be people who want to move forward, and there will always be people who have higher pursuits.
But will it be a lot?
No.
Ninety out of nine people have become pigs, and the remaining zero-tenths of a layer have grown up, and the five countries can completely absorb them.
It just meets the problem of lack of manpower caused by the passage of time, birth, old age, sickness and death.
This is the essence of the pig stream.
Let people waste their own time and cut off their own future in happiness!
Even if you are aware of this, you will not be willing to give up such a life.
Xu Bian's face was bitter.
He is the one who recognizes this.
But he is also a beneficiary of this, and so is his family.
He wanted to resist, but he had already been entangled in this system.
He didn't have the strength to break free, let alone the ruthlessness to cut it all off!
"Prosperity and abundance, living and working in peace and contentment, singing day and night." Zhang Shan smiled disdainfully.
"It's really smart, there are obviously two roads in this direction, one goes to everyone like a dragon, and the other goes to the local pig and dog."
"The Five Nations chose the latter one!"
