Chapter 176 - A New Era Comes (1/2)

On the first day of the new year, almost simultaneously, the governments of the major countries around the world announced the existence of the world of Cultivators to the public and began to promote cultivation within their populace.

The entire world had taken a step into a whole new age of cultivation.

Everyone eagerly anticipated becoming a Cultivator.

The Huaxia government also published a skill manual teaching the basics of cultivation on their official website. It came with extremely detailed illustrations explaining cultivation and was free to download.

In an instant, the whole nation fell into the cultivation craze.

Lu Xuan also took a look at the basic cultivation skill manual and found that it was indeed a very basic cultivation skill manual.

Those who managed to cultivate their inner qi and start on the path of cultivation by following this guide would probably have to be fairly talented in the first place.

Lu Xuan clearly knew what the government was planning. First of all, the Huaxia government did not have the ability to truly enable all its citizens to begin cultivation. After all, resources were limited, and it was unsustainable for everyone to be a Cultivator.

If one had no power, no authority, and no money, and did not even have talent, one would naturally be excluded from cultivation.

Of course, this did not mean that it was impossible for ordinary people to cultivate, but they probably had to wait for the next revival of spirit qi, and try again when the spirit qi was denser.

With each instance of spirit qi reviving, the density of spirit qi in the world would increase to a point where an average person could begin cultivation.

Still, the first movers who became Cultivators ahead of everyone else would have a dominant advantage in the future age.

Secondly, the government was also using this method to screen those people who were talented, so they could train them under their wing and take firm control over the largest group of Cultivators.

Even Lu Shanshan was saying that her school recently began promoting the cultivation skill manual. Those who could cultivate Spiritual Qi were eligible for subsidies from the government, and it was not like before, where people who awakened their talents were abducted.

There were simply too many people to take all of them away.

Following Lu Xuan’s orders, Lu Shanshan did not reveal her strong cultivation and was treated as an ordinary person. Even so, she was remarkable within her school population.

This is because, in her entire school, only a couple of dozen people were able to cultivate Spiritual Qi.

At this stage, with such a simple skill manual, those who could cultivate Spiritual Qi were undoubtedly budding talents in cultivation.

There were even various organizations coming into the school to promote themselves, trying to convince them to join their companies, and even offering them a salary while they were still schooling.

This was under the condition that the student joined their company to work for them after graduating.

Among Lu Shanshan’s schoolmates, there were many who had already signed contracts with these different organizations.

Lu Xuan knew that these kinds of situations would become more and more commonplace. These Cultivators were like university graduates in the early days, highly demanded and treated like high-end elite talents wherever they went.

Even his father, Lu Tianxiang, and mother, Liu Wanrong, had people from the government coming to their workplaces to promote cultivation.

The government had held back for so many years, secretly accumulating and training talents, and now they were finally showing their hand.

Among all the countries of the world, Huaxia was the most successful in its campaign to promote cultivation, and it did not go as well in other countries.

Still, this time, the governments of the world were very seriously promoting cultivation. Ever since the monsters emerged, everyone came to realize that wars would not just be waged between countries in the future, but there would be more conflicts between mankind and the monsters.
