70: Chapter 70: Ideas for Developing a Family

After Chu Wu gave Wang Bin a few more detailed instructions, he left with Chu Tianqing.

In an instant, only Wang Bin was left alone in the spacious side hall.

Although it was called a side hall, its area was quite large, but at this moment, Wang Bin was fully engrossed in other thoughts and did not pay attention to the size of the hall.

He carefully took out the Spirit Liquid gifted by the Chu Family and meticulously examined it.

The characteristics of this Spirit Liquid were, in all aspects, not just similar to the one he had manufactured himself, but practically identical.

Seeing this result, a huge weight was finally lifted from Wang Bin's heart.

He knew that with this Spirit Liquid as a trump card, he would have enough confidence to expand his Family, with the current goal being to become a Golden Core Family.

After all, in the Cultivation World, as long as one possesses ample Spirit Stones, most Cultivation resources before the Golden Core Stage can be acquired through purchase.

Now that he also knew many unknown Cultivation secrets of the Cultivation World, as long as resources were abundant, and if his Dao Companions could steadfastly maintain their Dao Heart and endure the loneliness and monotony of the Cultivation process, elevating their Cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm should not be too difficult.

One must know that the higher the Cultivation Realm pursued, the more immense the Cultivation resources required.

If everything had to be personally collected, it would consume an incalculable amount of time, and even then, it might not be possible to gather everything.

This would not only greatly delay the Cultivation progress, but also, during the process of collecting resources, one would be highly likely to encounter various dangers.

This is the cruel reality faced by Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World today, and also the fundamental reason why many large forces and great Families exist in the Cultivation World.

Although the idea of a single person with a single sword, roaming freely between heaven and earth, sounds incredibly carefree, where would the Spiritual Qi needed for Cultivation come from?

Those Spiritual Veins rich in Spiritual Qi and suitable for Cultivation invariably have clear ownership, either firmly occupied by large forces or monopolized by powerful Yao Beasts.

Even if you possess sufficiently strong power and successfully occupy a Spiritual Vein, would you truly dare to Cultivate without any worries?

Certainly not; you would also need to set up a defensive Formation to prevent sneak attacks while you are Cultivating.

But the problem is, can you set up Formations? Even if you can, where would you collect or purchase the Materials needed for the Formation?

Where would the Spirit Stones come from? Who would patrol and guard the set-up Formation?

How would Magic Treasures be acquired? Would they all have to be obtained by hunting Yao Beasts to craft them or by exchanging them for other items?

The troubles involved are simply countless, so in the Cultivation World, it is destined that one needs to establish a large force or join an existing one.

By occupying Spirit Mountains and Spirit Mines, expanding territory, relying on the stable annual output of Spirit Mines, and then establishing various comprehensive rules and regulations, allowing one's Disciples and clansmen to help handle all the mundane affairs, one only needs to Cultivate in peace.

This is the general structure of the entire Cultivation World; although there may be differences in details, the overall pattern is like this.

Wang Bin had already made plans in his heart; after dealing with the matters on the Chu Family's side, he would go to the Four Seas Commerce League to inquire about the Spirit Nurturing Pill.

He planned to purchase more Spirit Nurturing Pills, and upon returning to the Family, he would have Qin Wenjun and the other four women each bear at least four children for him.

This way, he would have sixteen children.

At that time, if any of them possessed a Spiritual Root, they would be nurtured with special focus;

As for those children without a Spiritual Root, after reaching eighteen years of age, each male would marry ten or eight women to help the Wang Family expand its branches and leaves.

In this way, within a hundred years, the Wang Family would at least be able to develop into a Family with over a thousand people.

Among these thousands of people, there must be at least a few Disciples with Spiritual Root Aptitude, and thus the Family would naturally be able to gradually develop and grow stronger.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was his ability to support such a large population, but fortunately, he could manufacture Spirit Liquid himself, so mass-producing Foundation Establishment Cultivators was not an issue, he just needed to act discreetly.

As long as he could successfully advance to a Golden Core cultivator and firmly cling to the Chu Family like a big tree, he could safely stay at home to Cultivate, letting his Family's descendants go out for experience and adventure.

Although there would certainly be casualties in this process, isn't that how the world operates?

The mountain of resources and Cultivation Techniques piled up in the Chu Family's treasury couldn't possibly all have been collected by Chu Yunfei alone, could they?

As long as the Family's system is well-designed and reasonable, theoretically the Family will snowball, becoming more and more prosperous and developed.

Wang Bin had roughly planned his future Cultivation direction in his heart; of course, he also knew that many unexpected situations would certainly arise during the actual development process.

But as long as the general direction could be kept from deviating, there wouldn't be too big of a problem.

For now, it was best to properly handle the immediate important matters.

After carefully putting away the Spirit Liquid, he took out the Jade Slip recording the Thunder Light Body Tempering Technique.

After carefully reading it from beginning to end, he frowned slightly.

The principle of this Thunder Light Body Tempering Technique is actually very simple: set up a Thunder Manipulation Array, use the Formation to generate lightning to electrocute one's body, thereby achieving the effect of tempering the Physical Body.

Of course, the Formation can adjust the size of the lightning released according to the Cultivator's Physical Body strength.

Moreover, the Jade Slip also recorded several medicinal formulas, which require preparing a medicinal liquid according to the formulas; after the body is electrocuted, the body is to be immersed in the medicinal liquid to recover from the damage received, thereby gradually increasing the Cultivator's Physical Body strength.

It also mentioned that it is possible not to use the medicinal liquid for immersion, but that would require relying on one's own slow recovery, which would not only delay the Body Refining progress but also easily leave hidden dangers within the body.

After all, frequently using medicinal liquid for immersion is no small expense, and consumes a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.

Wang Bin searched carefully through the Storage Pouch Chu Wu gave him and indeed found more than a dozen pre-prepared Body Refining medicinal liquids.

The only thing that left him somewhat dissatisfied was that this Thunder Light Body Tempering Technique only contained content for Cultivation up to the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As for the subsequent Cultivation Techniques for the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage, they were not recorded; if one wanted to continue Cultivating the subsequent Cultivation Techniques, one would need to go to the Merit Hall of the Four Seas Commerce League and exchange them with contribution points.

Wang Bin sighed helplessly, then no longer dwelled on this issue.

After all, one must walk step by step; even if he obtained these Cultivation Techniques that could only be Cultivated at the Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage now, he wouldn't be able to Cultivate them. It would be much easier to acquire these Cultivation Techniques after he successfully advanced to Golden Core.

When he held the Formation Plate that assisted in Cultivating the Thunder Light Body Tempering Technique, the Jade Slip explained in detail the usage and function of the Formation Plate.

As long as he inputs spiritual power into the Formation Plate, he can activate it, and the activated Formation Plate will release the basic structure of the Formation.

Wang Bin only needs to place Spirit Stones at the designated locations, and the Thunder Manipulation Array can be successfully activated.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Bin's mind: Wait!

This Thunder Manipulation Array can actually generate lightning! Isn't this equivalent to a generator? Except this "generator" needs Spirit Stones to drive it.

He quickly rummaged through his Storage Pouch and finally found a fragment the size of a fingernail.

This fragment was a small piece left over after the Lei Sha Pearl exploded; Wang Bin had originally planned to keep a complete Lei Sha Pearl for research, but unexpectedly it was used up when Yin Chengmu ambushed him. At that time, he only found this one fragment and picked it up casually.

At this moment, a bold and highly creative idea emerged in his mind.

Now, as long as he could thoroughly research the material composition of this Lei Sha Pearl fragment in his hand, and combine it with this Thunder Manipulation Array, couldn't he mass-produce Lei Sha Pearls?

He had personally witnessed the power of the Lei Sha Pearl and loved it very much. Although a single Lei Sha Pearl could only deal with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, what if ten Lei Sha Pearls were bundled together, or even a hundred Lei Sha Pearls?

Perhaps even Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would find it difficult to resist; after all, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change, haha.

Wang Bin instantly conceived a plan that could be called perfect.

In the Cultivation World, although human relations are also very important, one's own strength is the most fundamental guarantee.

Otherwise, even if he had the ability to mass-produce Spirit Liquid, he would probably be coveted by others before he could even possess trillions of Spirit Stones, and ultimately become a stepping stone for others.
