40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yaoqi said: "Listening to what you said, the current empire is really chaotic. With a dwindling day, it can stand for a thousand years and still has the atmosphere of ZTE. It is a miracle!"

"That's right, such an empire with the weak and the strong, it stands to reason that it should have collapsed in cruel squeeze and internal fighting, but there is an external factor that helped it maintain its fragile stability-that is, the Holy League. "

Di Fei said, "No matter how profitable, unforgiving, intriguing, intrigue, and deceitful the cultivator is, the Holy League is everyone's common enemy. No cultivator is willing to be deprived of his emotions, six desires, and free will and become a sad puppet.

"Because of the existence of the great enemy of the Holy League, all forces in the empire can maintain the basic order. Even if the weak and the strong eat, there is a set of rules of the game that everyone can barely accept, and no matter how strong the power of the emperor is, Never thought of usurping the throne by myself-because the so-called emperor's throne is simply a hot potato. If the empire is destroyed by the Holy League because of the usurpation of the throne, wouldn't it become the number one fool in the sky?

"So, instead of saying that the emperor's authority is ruling the empire, it is more of a common fear of the Holy League, which has gathered all the ghostly forces of all parties together and assembled the three-star Blitz Banner of the'Empire of True Mankind'. under.

"Because the empire and the Holy League have no room for compromise, almost no nobles and warlords will choose to surrender to the Holy League. Therefore, there is a thousand-year rule of the real human empire."

"That's it."

Li Yao nodded slowly. The True Human Empire and the Covenant Alliance really have a relationship of mutual growth and mutual restraint. Although the immortal cultivator looks abominable, the puppets of the Holy League are even more dehumanizing, compared to the kind of complete deprivation of emotion and will, like walking dead Life seems to be the rule of the empire, which is slightly acceptable-roughly that's it.

"But now, the situation has changed subtly."

Di Feiwen said calmly, "In the past thousand years, the Saint League has been on a sharp offensive for most of the time. The fear of the Saint League united all the immortal cultivators, temporarily ignoring and easing the contradictions between them.

"With the unexpected smoothness of the empire's strategic counterattack, the Saint League has been expelled from the most quintessential area in the center of the Star Sea. It seems that it is no longer able to threaten the empire. The thousand-year threat from the outside seems to have been completely shattered.

"So, the immortal cultivator who has been relieved of the external threat and stared at countless trophies, isn't it like a dog that has been hungry for a thousand years, seeing the bones with flesh?

"If the immortal cultivator is stupid enough and greedy enough, there may be great chaos in the next empire. As for whether such turbulence of'hungry dogs grabbing food' will spread to the Xinghai Beach, only God knows."

"understood……"

Li Yao thoughtfully gave Di Feiwen a meaningful look, "I remember you once said that there is a large-scale merchant organization behind you, and the four major election emperors, as well as various nobles and warlords. The inextricable relationship is extremely well-informed and has its own calculations, right?"

"The sea of ​​stars is vast and perilous. Traders are drifting between different worlds, and they have to form associations to protect themselves in order to struggle for survival."

Di Feiwen seemed to be very honest and said, "In the past thousand years, some imperial businessmen have indeed formed a loose chamber of commerce called the'Ten Thousand Realms Business League', and their subordinates are also one of the senior deacons under the business alliance."

"Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance, what a big tone!"

Li Yaodao, "So, what are your core interests?"

"The subordinates did not deceive my king at all. Since it is called the'Ten Thousand Realms Business League', it is naturally the simplest business guild. It is a place for exchanging information and negotiating business. If we really have a little demand, That’s still doing business, doing the most profitable business."

Di Feiwen's eyes flashed with a sly light, and said, "My king knows, what business is the most profitable in the world today?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment: "If you count both legal and illegal, drugs?"

"No, although the profits of the drug business are high, the risks are too great. Even with the acquiescence of the ruler, it is still a short-term business that is exhausted and not the best choice for serious businessmen."

Di Feiwen shook his head, no longer showing off the organs, and said his answer readily, "So that I, the king, knows that the most profitable, stable, and long-term business in the universe today is ‘cultivation’."

Li Yao was stunned for a long time: "...Cultivation?"

"Yes, it's the ‘cultivation industry’."

Di Feiwen said in a serious way, "As a super-high-level monk who is about to transform into a god, I must have a deep understanding of how much money is spent on cultivation. Before awakening his spiritual roots, he must lay the foundation at the age of seven or eight. How much does it cost to refine Qi, build foundations, condense pills, and condense infants all the way, day and night? The so-called "spending money" means buying and selling, and there is business. It is a large-scale and all-encompassing industry!

"As long as you look at today's Federation, you can get a glimpse of the scales of this industry.

"Today's Federation, not only has the state invested heavily in implementing the system of'nine-year compulsory training and twelve-year compulsory training', but also families with a little extra energy, regardless of whether their children have the potential, will spare no effort to spend a lot of money and time for their children Cultivation, as a result, not only are there prestigious schools pointed by the strong, the price of the school district’s room has risen, and it is difficult to find a room. Various training courses are also popular, and there are all kinds of true and false nutrient solutions, enhanced packages, and remote Educational videos, virtual practice secrets, etc., etc. What a huge industry is this?

"What's even better is that no one can tell whether these secret methods and nutrition packages are effective. If only three or five people use the same secret methods and nutrient solutions, they will be ineffective. Blaming yourself for not working hard enough, or not having enough talent, there is no reason to blame the merchants.

"This is only the basic stage. As the realm improves, all aspects of expenses are also multiplying, and it will automatically'consumption upgrade', and there will never be an end.

"When the realm is extremely high, the shots are also extremely generous. Even if a certain kind of pill or magic weapon can only increase the strong probability by 1%, most cultivators will still buy it at the cost, and there is very little bargaining. After all, Xiaoming There is only one, which is more expensive than anything, right?

"This is only the cultivation industry itself, and depending on the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the cultivation industry, it is even more diverse and countless. Traditionally, there is the magic refining industry that our king is best at. In the innovation industry, In the live broadcast industry with live broadcast of combat and practice videos, in short, there are only unexpected things, nothing impossible.

"If the upstream and downstream industrial chains are completely integrated and calculated, how much effect does this'cultivation industry' play in driving the development of the national economy, and how much excess profits can it bring? The most critical one is that this is closely related to the evolution of human civilization. Once the industry is well developed, it can have a virtuous circle effect, which is definitely not comparable to the three abused industries such as'drugs'!"

Li Yao was amazed by it, and nodded repeatedly: "Listening to what you said, it seems that this is really the case!"

"This is the case, this is the power of capital."

When Di Feiwen talked about his old line of business, he was quite energetic. "In fact, in recent years, some experts and scholars in the Remnants of the Black Wind have also been studying the mystery of the rise of the Star Federation. At least in my opinion, the Federation The reason for the rapid rise in just a hundred years is inseparable from your advocacy of the'big practice for the whole people' and vigorous development of the cultivation industry, which stimulated a strong domestic demand market and activated the greatest production potential of the vast majority of the people... of.

"Of course, my king will look at this issue from the perspective of'innate human rights, everyone has the right to practice', and as a businessman who is not embarrassed or embarrassed, I will look at this issue from the perspective of'earning excess profits'. This question, but the great road is the same, and the different paths are the same. In the final analysis, our goal is the same, which is to create a world where everyone can practice."

"Everyone has the ability to practice..."

Li Yao suddenly felt a very absurd feeling, "You immortal cultivators of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance, really amazing!"

"This is not a strange flower, but an expansion of domestic demand."

Di Feiwen said sternly, "There is a need for business and businessmen to exist. If there is no need, then we will create an eternal need by ourselves! Yes, 99% of people cannot awaken their spiritual roots no matter how they practice. So what? We don't care how many cultivators or immortals are in the universe. We only care about whether these people have strong cultivation needs, and how much profit these needs can be transformed into, nothing more.

"Everyone has the ability to practice, what a magnificent and beautiful idea, if all of the three thousand and hundreds of millions of people in the world can practice freely and are willing to spend a lot of money for cultivation, what a huge industry this is, and how much it contains. Profit? Such an immeasurable profit is enough to make any businessman go crazy, subvert all power in the world, slay any gods and demons who stand in front of him, and destroy all the forces that stand in the way!"

Di Feiwen's red eyes and murderous appearance shocked Li Yao's snacks. After thinking about it, he said: "Under the imperial system, the dream of'everyone practicing with merit' is probably just a dream. ."

"I, Wang Mingjian."

Di Feiwen sighed very sadly, "What you said is correct. Under the current system of the empire, the dream of'everyone practicing' is just a very beautiful bubble, full of colorful brilliance. That's it.

"The empire divides humans into ‘real people’ and ‘primitives’, which directly kills 99% of the market.

"Even the 1% of real people may not use the business model we expect to obtain training resources."
