Chapter 707: Untitled

"Eh! Great Elder, what happy event makes you so happy?"

After returning to Liuyun Peak, Su Fan didn't have too much to do for a while. Besides his daily cultivation, he would also open a period of guidance on Liuyun Peak.

After the establishment of the Profound Heaven Sect, the sect inherited some of the systems the Su family once had, such as this guidance on the cultivation insights of low-level disciples.

In the former Yunyang Sect, the sect was mainly based on master-disciple relationships. Masters taught disciples, but of course, most of them just threw a cultivation method at them and left it at that, fulfilling the saying, "The master leads you through the door, but cultivation depends on the individual."

Unless it was the kind of master who cared about their disciples, they might set aside some time to teach them carefully.

However, most masters were so busy.

This was a normal thing; after all, in the cultivation world, time was the most important thing. Many cultivators spent their whole lives in constant cultivation and would rarely be disturbed by external things.

Cultivation time was very precious.

But Su Fan knew very well that there was still a big difference in cultivation between having a master's guidance and having no one to teach.

Su Fan had walked step by step from the mortal world and knew this gap very well. When he traveled to the first world, the Smiling Proud Wanderer world,

in the Huashan Sect, the Huashan Sect experienced the Sword-Qi Conflict, and for the twenty years after, it had been unable to recover. Old Yue only accepted fewer than ten disciples in his whole life.

Why was it like this?

Was it because of money and food resources? There was a little bit of that. After the Sword-Qi Conflict, the Huashan Sect fell into decline, and the offerings collected became less and less.

In the past, the Huashan Sect was powerful, and forces large and small in the Guanzhong region would actually offer some money and food, because with the care of the Huashan Sect, these forces could also live comfortably.

Just like a gang.

The Huashan Sect declined, and many forces refused to offer, but not all refused. The many prefectures and counties at the foot of Huashan Mountain, those large and small families, would all offer some.

Just like the gentry families Su Fan traveled through, they would also take out dozens of taels of silver every year to offer to the Huashan Sect.

The Huashan Sect didn't have much money and food, but it was no problem to raise a hundred disciples.

But why didn't Old Yue accept disciples on a large scale? It stood to reason that after closing the mountain, he should accept a batch of disciples first, and then after twenty years, with the foundation of the Huashan Sect, it would gradually recover.

However, after the Sword-Qi Conflict, the Huashan Sect immediately closed the mountain, and after waiting for more than ten years, Old Yue had only accepted fewer than ten disciples.

The reason for this was still because of teaching. The Huashan Sect simply didn't have enough teachers. Relying on Yue Buqun alone, he could teach at most ten or so disciples, which was already very strenuous.

He had the heart but not the strength. Even if he taught ten or so disciples, they were taught like that, which showed the difficulty.

If he accepted more, it would likely be of no use.

If he accepted more, he would just give them martial arts manuals without being able to teach them carefully, and those disciples would never be able to practice anything. Lin Pingzhi was an example.

So Su Fan knew very well the importance of teaching. Why did Wudang and Shaolin never lack disciples in every generation? That was because those retired elders could become elders who guided the disciples' cultivation.

In fact, the Huashan Sect before the Sword-Qi Conflict was also like this. At the peak of the Huashan Sect, there were more than twenty inner sect elders, all of whom were first-class experts. Each of them could accept three to five disciples, and with careful teaching, twenty or thirty years later, half of these disciples would become talented, and the strength of the Huashan Sect would only become stronger and stronger.

Unfortunately, it ended in one morning.

After experiencing many worlds, Su Fan knew that the saying "The master leads you through the door, but cultivation depends on the individual" only applied to those true geniuses. Give them a cultivation method and explain it casually, and they could get started very quickly.

They could even innovate.

But those were geniuses, the proud sons of heaven. There were very few such people in the world, and most of the common people were of ordinary aptitude.

It was the same in the cultivation world. Ninety percent of people were ordinary people. Even if their spirit root talent was powerful, if they had a good teacher to teach them, it could also allow them to take fewer detours.

Moreover, in the cultivation world, there were techniques for breaking through some realms. With this careful teaching, the disciples' progress would be faster.

Although this would waste some time, it could also allow the disciples in the sect to practice more smoothly. At the same time, guiding disciples also earned contribution within the sect, killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?

Therefore, after the establishment of the Profound Heaven Sect, this system inherited from the Su family was also continued.

Of course, it wasn't one-on-one. Cultivators were not people in the mortal martial arts world after all. The Profound Heaven Sect had special public lectures similar to preaching.

Whether it was Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion, or even Golden Core cultivators in the family, they would all personally go down to preach.

Especially in the special Transmission Hall, most of them were those disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect whose lifespan was nearing its end and had no hope.

They would take the initiative to join this Transmission Hall and become the family's guiding teachers, passing on their lifelong cultivation insights, while earning a certain amount of contribution for their relatives.

For the Profound Heaven Sect, this system might not have much effect in a short time, but after a few hundred years, great results could be seen.

In fact, it had actually been operating in the Su family for a hundred years. The Su family disciples grew so fast, and this also had some promoting effects in this regard.

Some disciples who were about to break through realms had older cultivators and higher-level cultivators to guide them personally, which could allow them to take fewer detours and break through more smoothly.

Wasn't this a small advantage?

If the spirit root wasn't good, then make up for it with other things.

Try every possible way to improve one's strength.

On the Transmission Peak in the early morning, Su Fan finished preaching, and the disciples in twos and threes also slowly walked down from the peak.

As the person with the highest cultivation in the Profound Heaven Sect, his preaching naturally attracted a swarm of people. Not only was the square on the Transmission Peak that could accommodate six thousand people crowded, but even the stairs at the peak entrance were filled with many disciples.

However, Su Fan's preaching was the most basic, starting from Qi Refining cultivators, which made some high-level cultivators somewhat disappointed.

But those inner and outer sect Qi Refining cultivators of the Profound Heaven Sect were ecstatic. Just this half-day of listening made them feel deeply touched.

Some with deep foundations broke through a small realm immediately after returning.

Su Fan's preaching didn't have flowers falling from the sky or golden lotuses springing from the ground, but with the divine sense of the Primordial Spirit realm, he could mobilize some heaven and earth spiritual energy to bless this Transmission Peak.

Furthermore, his understanding of cultivation could be said to be at the peak even if placed in the Yuanyang Realm.

A casual point could enlighten many cultivators.

Naturally, many low-level disciples gained a lot.

They left the Transmission Peak with joy on their faces.

And those who remained were all high-level officials of the Profound Heaven Sect. ===== CHAPTER 708 =====
