Most importantly, the spiritual veins are insufficient to support the cultivation of so many disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The three branches of Alchemy, Arrays, and Artifacts cannot yet provide the necessary support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crucially, the prerequisite for opening the mountain gates is a stable contribution point system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only then can the disciples and Shushan develop in sync.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, you have only just begun your cultivation and your strength has not yet increased significantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Jiang Yan paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ningguang and the others understood his meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vast Shushan, there was only him, a Sect Master at the Refinement of Spirit and Return to Void stage, and one Head of a branch at the Refinement of Qi and Transformation of Spirit stage who could be considered capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were mostly at the Refinement of Essence and Transformation of Qi stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of large-scale mountain gate opening could they possibly manage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just handing out a cultivation manual...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, many people would still come to embark on the path of cultivation, even if they were given nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the disciples' strength increased slowly and the sect's progress was even slower, when would the system tasks ever see any progress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan recruited disciples so they would quickly break through in strength, thereby increasing Shushan's prosperity and allowing him to continuously complete system tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningguang and the others were talented enough, and with sufficient resources and the fact that they had just stepped onto the path of cultivation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their progress would likely be very fast in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Yan could not guarantee that others would be like them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, those with talent were the minority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Jiang Yan had no intention of opening the mountain gates wide for now, Ningguang gave up on the ideas she had regarding the details of the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan thought for a moment and reminded them softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Objectively speaking, because Liyue has always had adepti, people have been seeking immortality since ancient times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have a better understanding of cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, Liyue’s customs and traditions are similar to those of Shushan.
