Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 147 Immortal Path Industrialized Weapon Refining Academy
As expected of a ninth-tier magic weapon, the Dream Butterfly Mirror, while not particularly strong in combat, has demonstrated its full potential in support abilities.

The Dream Butterfly Space would be an extremely powerful tool for cultivating disciples in any faction.

However, in Su You's eyes, this Dream Butterfly Space is the best assistant to help start the industrialization of immortal cultivation.

It can make the best use of resources and tap into the potential of most students in the cultivation academy.

Unlike the students in the first two cohorts of the college, who could only rely on luck to choose a suitable side job.

The academy does have some resources; while each person learning a secondary profession will receive some resources for practice, the quantity is not very large.

Once a secondary profession is chosen, there is basically no room for change, unless it is a secondary profession such as formation, which relies purely on comprehension, in which case there is an opportunity to choose other professions.

However, with the Dream Butterfly Space, the cost of trial and error for all students has become much lower.

In the Dream Butterfly Space simulation, the cost is about one percent of the real cost. Basically, each student can try more than ten secondary jobs and then choose the one that suits them best.

The fourth cohort of students at the Great Wilderness Cultivation Academy managed to catch the last train, and a number of talented individuals emerged, with the number of students remaining at the academy being three times that of the previous cohorts.

The fifth and sixth cohorts were even more extreme; they used the Dream Butterfly Space more often within the academy, and most of the cultivators found suitable secondary professions for themselves.

However, the standards for staying on campus have also been raised significantly. Previously, students only needed to reach the second tier to stay on campus for various associate majors, but now they need to be at least at the mid-tier second tier level.

Of course, some less popular majors have much lower requirements, and you may only need to reach the second level to stay in school and continue your studies. For example, the requirements for formation-related majors, which require high comprehension, are even lower.

"Indeed, when it comes to geniuses and comprehension, it's easier to find them among ordinary people." Su You couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the data.

In the outside world of cultivation, only a very small number of geniuses emerge among independent cultivators. Even within those sects, those who master various cultivation techniques are all cultivators with backgrounds and financial backing.

Too many cultivators never try to learn a skill because the cost of learning and practicing it is too high, ultimately resulting in their talents being buried.

Why is the art of talisman making so popular in the world of cultivation, and why are low-level talismans so cheap?

It is precisely because this skill is inexpensive to learn that many cultivators can try it, which has led to a large number of talisman makers emerging.

Of course, high-level talisman makers are still few in number. High-level materials are expensive, and the cost of trial and error is too low. Even some talisman makers with a little talent dare not try it easily.

These students now have access to Dream Butterfly Spaces for simulated practice, and they can choose freely.

Most students choose alchemy as their first choice, followed by other popular majors such as weapon crafting, talisman making, puppet making, and spiritual plant cultivation.

Fortunately, the academy offers more points support for various minor specializations, and in recent years, especially after the emergence of the Dream Butterfly Space, it has piqued the interest of others.

Such as spirit wine, spirit cooking, vein exploration, beast taming, spirit building, mining, armor making, and so on.

Some specializations are branches of popular specializations. For example, the weapon crafting specialty is further subdivided into armor crafting, sword crafting, magic robe crafting, and mineral refining.

These are the specialties that emerged at the beginning of the industrialization of the Immortal Path, allowing for more refined learning and enabling greater progress in each area.

For students who don't perform well in their major, teachers may recommend that they specialize in one subject.

Of course, this level is far from the industrialization of the immortal cultivation industry. The standard of industrialization is the assembly line production process.

At this stage, the focus is still on cultivating geniuses in various disciplines. In the future, they will also need to specialize in and promote the assembly line engineering of various disciplines.

As for those with poor academic performance, they will specialize in a more specialized field and become workers in the industrialized system of the Immortal Path.

As for those cultivators who had no talent, they were sent to the army for training.

After these cultivators join the army, they will undergo more specialized training, such as daily drills of combined attack formations and joint training of bloodline formations, etc.
They not only need to adapt to large-scale warfare, but also to small-scale individual combat or small unit combat.

Furthermore, they conduct training exercises in the East China Sea region every so often.

Only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of battle are good soldiers.

Su You's eyes looked towards the academy, piercing through layers of buildings, and finally landing on a classroom.

This classroom is a course taught by a peak third-tier alchemy master. There are 500 students present for this class, while more than 20,000 people are watching remotely using the Dream Butterfly Mirror without the necessary permissions.

Indeed, the simple Dream Butterfly Mirror has become popular in the academy, becoming an indispensable magical artifact for every cultivator.

After all, to enter the Dream Butterfly Space, one needs to use the Dream Butterfly Mirror. The academy's credit records, awards, consumption, transactions, and so on all require the use of the Dream Butterfly Mirror. The Dream Butterfly Mirror can even remotely watch any teacher's class that is currently being taught, and it can also review history and watch the teacher's classes in previous classes.

The simple Dream Butterfly Mirror is the most common first-tier magic weapon. Each student receives one upon enrollment. It can be upgraded using credits or by learning specialized restriction techniques. Currently, the academy's weapon-refining courses are based on the orthodox Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Restriction Method.

In this way, Su You wouldn't need to force every student to refine the Dream Butterfly Mirror into their natal magic weapon. Each student would have a Dream Butterfly Mirror, and each upgrade would unlock more abilities and permissions. This way, they would naturally continue to upgrade the Dream Butterfly Mirrors in their hands.

Su You attaches great importance to the Immortal Cultivation Academy, as it serves as his talent development base and soldier training base.

As long as you demonstrate your talent within the academy, you will receive a substantial amount of points. These points are the hard currency within the academy and cannot be traded. They can be exchanged for a wide variety of items, including virtually everything in the treasure vault, such as Nascent Soul Pills and other medicinal pills.

This is also why the teachers Su You recruited from outside are so dedicated. They are rewarded for their teaching, and if their students show talent, they will receive extra points. This is why they teach so seriously.

However, this group of teachers will have to be replaced sooner or later, since they were trained by an external cultivation system and their style is somewhat different from that of Su You's academy.

Once the students in the academy have grown up, these teachers can be gradually replaced.

Students from the first and second cohorts are already serving as teaching assistants and teachers in some small classes and basic instruction.

The classroom below was very lively. Ge Qing was slowly adding the spiritual herbs, explaining each time he added one, and occasionally asking questions.

Every student actively answered questions, because in addition to the basic credit rewards, those who performed well in class also received extra credit rewards after the teacher's evaluation.

However, this course, which includes a peak-level third-tier alchemy master, has a limited number of places. Only those with high historical scores or those with high alchemy skills can apply. This is a privilege for students with excellent grades, who can receive more rewards.

After touring the academy once more, Su You strolled towards the weapon-refining department. The academy was currently developing steadily, with few unfortunate incidents. After all, the tower spirit constantly monitored the points system, ensuring that any minor misconduct by teachers would be detected immediately.

In order to maintain the purity of the academy in its early days, Su You directly rejected the idea of ​​sending juniors to study there, which was proposed by the teachers or people from the Dream Butterfly Sect.

As for the Dream Butterfly Sect, he granted them access to the Dream Butterfly Space, allowing them to cultivate talent on their own.

Now that the seeds of industrialization have been sown, there is no need for him to interfere much. These students can continue to develop the industry, and the school will provide ample resources for all the experiments.

Fortunately, Su You obtained the Qionghua Cauldron, which contained a vast amount of wealth. Otherwise, this cultivation academy would have been an endless glutton that could devour his wealth without end.

Cultivation academies are different from sects, offering better benefits, but they basically don't have any menial tasks, or if they do, it's only as a reward of points.

Each year, the college has around 100,000 students, and the resources it consumes are astronomical.

In alchemy, the Qionghua Cauldron can provide a large number of spiritual herbs, but weapon crafting involves other specialties, which requires him to purchase materials from the outside world.

However, all the effort was worthwhile. These talents were trained to serve under him, and even those who lacked natural talent would join the army and play their due role.

After confirming the academy's promising future, Su Youcai prepared to attend to his own affairs.

He came here mainly for his own business.

After years of seclusion, the twin clones have focused on studying the art of weapon crafting and creating their own unique natal magic weapon. With the blessing of a large amount of Enlightenment Tea, they have finally achieved a perfect fusion of the cultivation and wizardry systems.

At least the Wizard Tower had no problems before it reached the fifth tier, and with the initial fusion, it would be easier to find a solution later when its strength increased.

However, crafting a wizard tower is a massive undertaking, and this time, crafting our sect's wizard tower is no small-scale affair like before.

The Wizard Tower is an extremely large magical artifact. If he were to forge it by himself, it would probably take him hundreds of years to complete it.

The benefits of the cultivation academy are now becoming apparent.

In recent decades, Su You has vigorously supported the weapon crafting profession, and now the weapon crafting academy has produced a large number of talents. He has also assigned some weapon crafting training to these people, and after several decades, they should all be able to master it proficiently.

……

Weapon Refining Academy.

As soon as Su You landed, he saw tens of thousands of students gathered in the square.

"Greetings, Dean!" a group of students shouted in unison.

The statues of the twins stand tall in the academy, and every student knows that the academy nurtured them.

Moreover, since these students had all entered the trial tower created by the mirage, their hearts had long been planted with the idea of ​​loyalty, and they felt a sense of familiarity the moment they saw Su You.

"Good, you are all excellent." Su You nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "You should already know about the academy's mission. Now, let's set off."

A void gate appeared on the spot, and the students below disappeared into it one by one.

The Wizard Tower definitely cannot be placed within the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, otherwise many things will become unusable.

They were led to a huge island in the East China Sea.

This is Su You's base in the East China Sea. Since the Dream Butterfly Mirror was repaired again twenty years ago, he has been able to use its teleportation ability.

The Dream Butterfly Sect inside the Dream Butterfly Mirror was returned to the outside world. The almost withered sixth-order spiritual vein was reconnected to the ground, absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, and recovered.

Of course, it's impossible to recover to the seventh or even eighth rank in this world, since the world's energy level is too low, and the highest concentration of spiritual energy it provides is only at the sixth rank.

It would be good enough if we could maintain the level of the sixth rank now.

If placed in the vast world, there is still some hope for recovery.

Su You had originally considered the Tongtian Vine World, but that world seemed to be somewhat special. It did not have any spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy of the entire world was supplied by the Tongtian Vine. Transferring spiritual veins there would be of no use.

Moreover, that world is far more dangerous than the one he is in now. Even if he can use a sixth-order spiritual vein, he might not be able to protect it.

However, things are different in the Yun'an Realm. With a sixth-order spiritual vein, the original grand formation of the Dream Butterfly Sect can exert some power, enough to protect itself within the entire Yun'an Realm.

Even if the power of an eighth-order formation can only be exerted to some extent, it is enough to withstand the attack of a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm.

While there are many Nascent Soul stage experts in the Yun'an Realm, there are very few cultivators at the Void Refinement stage. Even if there are, there is no need to worry about the enemy attacking.

This is also the reason why the Dream Butterfly Sect was able to truly establish itself in the East Sea.

When they first arrived, the Dream Butterfly Sect kept a low profile and didn't attract much attention from major powers. Now that the other side has discovered them, there's no need to be afraid.

Especially after a Nascent Soul cultivator came to their door and was directly killed by the great formation, even fewer surrounding forces dared to provoke them.

After arriving at the core of the sixth-order spiritual vein, Su You reopened the spatial gate and released these people.

The main purpose of this trip is to use the power of the Qionghua Cauldron to refine various high-grade spirit ores.

Otherwise, with Su You's own abilities, he probably wouldn't even be able to refine a fifth-order spirit ore.

Although the Qionghua Cauldron is specifically used for alchemy, it is equally effective for crafting weapons.

Since the sixth-order spiritual vein was moved here, he has moved the Qionghua Cauldron here as well.

Su You gently waved his hand, and the Qionghua Cauldron appeared in the air. The towering magic weapon clearly shocked the students below.
