Chapter 720 - 720 720 The Cultivation Frenzy

720: Chapter 720: The Cultivation Frenzy 720: Chapter 720: The Cultivation Frenzy After seeing the guests off and returning home, Ye Zhi asked them to leave before she just stared at Zhao Guang.

“What are you trying to do?” That look in her eyes, yearning to pounce on him, was all too familiar.

Zhao Guang felt anxious, fearing that if Ye Zhi took the initiative, he would find it hard to refuse.

This was because his current strength had reached a level where he no longer needed to worry about much, causing his personal boundaries to continuously lower.

Ye Zhi stared at Zhao Guang for a while before she finally said, “Well, it’s been so long since the last massage, it should be fine to have a second one, right?” So that was why.

In recent times, Ye Zhi had come to realize the benefits of reaching the Energy Introduction phase— a substantial enhancement in every regard.

Minor health issues she had before dissipated, leaving her feeling energetic every day, to the point where she couldn’t even sleep more if she wanted to.

That miserable feeling she used to experience once a month also subsided under this newfound strength, no longer causing her any pain.

Just this benefit alone, if made public, would probably induce a frenzied pursuit of cultivation among women.

It was just a pity that in these few days, there had been no news of anyone reaching the Energy Introduction phase.

Of course, Zhao Guang’s family members were an exception, and they had not yet revealed themselves to outsiders.

In fact, most people still didn’t know that Zhao Guang himself possessed this ability.

“No problem.

Come here, I owe you one.” Zhao Guang stepped forward and turned Ye Zhi on the couch around, followed by the sound of suggestive moans that began to fill the air.

If there had been other people around, surely someone would have started having wild thoughts by now.

After the massage was over, Ye Zhi felt deeply satisfied with the stronger currents of energy within her.

If she continued like this, perhaps she could reach the next level in a few months.

The thought of that formidable power was honestly appealing, even though Ye Zhi was a woman.

Zhao Guang returned to his room without immediately leaving.

He started to check on the changes happening on Earth.

“Just as I thought, the era of great cultivation has indeed begun, but isn’t this a bit too crazy?”

He didn’t need to investigate thoroughly; opening any video platform showed that everything was related to cultivation.

And it wasn’t just about adding cultivation elements to content to make it popular; it seemed that anything not related to cultivation was being ignored.

Even those who used to sing and dance were now tying their performances to cultivation.

Zhao Guang was speechless, thinking that it would be better to spend the time cultivating instead of watching those videos.

Thinking that just watching videos could enhance cultivation progress was too presumptuous on their part.

However, it was also understandable; cultivation is hard work and requires perseverance.

Even in the Otherworld, observing the nobles made it clear.

The material living conditions of ordinary people on this world were even surpassing most of the nobles.

Once some time passes and they realize that they lack the talent for cultivation, many will probably return to their normal lives.

That’s not exactly right, though.

Even commoners, if provided with enough resources, could still reach the Energy Introduction phase.

Now, there were items like the Purple Jade Centipede, which were enough to help those with poor talent reach that phase, except for those who were simply too old; for them, there was really no hope.

Then, Zhao Guang discovered that the Masters were actually the most popular of all.

“These people, they sure know how to come up with ideas, quite the flexible thinkers,” he said.

Zhao Guang wanted to laugh when he watched those videos, viewing them from a professional’s perspective, seeing them as much the same as before.

Every movement seemed proper, but in reality, they were just like shamans performing rituals.

It was only because he had revealed cultivation methods that these people also began to move with the times.

After all, they would be phased out if they couldn’t keep up.

To prevent this, they had to continually update their tactics and improve their professional level.

They repackaged the same old tricks used to deceive people into more advanced deception techniques.

As a result, a portion of these Masters couldn’t keep up and were eliminated.

The rest who managed to adapt became even more popular, and they continued to deceive an increasing number of people.

In Zhao Guang’s eyes, though, these people didn’t have much potential left.

They were not young, and even though they trained their bodies well, it was still difficult for them to reach the Energy Introduction phase through ordinary means.

“I wonder if the country will provide them with Purple Jade Centipedes ahead of time,” Zhao Guang pondered the possibility.

It’s known that these Masters were originally promoted by the country, one of the aims being to mislead foreign populations, increase domestic support, and distract foreign powers.

So, for the time being, it wasn’t feasible for the status of these Masters to fall.

Now that so many people had joined the fray, it might not be beneficial for those at the top.

There wouldn’t be an abundance of Purple Jade Centipedes to spread around in a short period, but providing a select few with them wouldn’t be a problem.

If they could enable some to enter the Energy Introduction phase first, they could deceive even more effectively.

After all, possessing the strength of the Energy Introduction phase was considered being part of the in-crowd.

“I’ll bring this up later and see if the higher-ups take this suggestion,” Zhao Guang decided with a sly grin.

Continuing his research online, Zhao Guang learned about the changes the world had undergone; it was truly embarking on the era of great cultivation.

Many had even quit their jobs to focus solely on cultivation.

He couldn’t fathom where their confidence came from, but it was causing a chain reaction.

Cultivation required resources; their usual salaries were barely enough, not to mention the rising price of meat.

Unable to cope, people began to vent their frustrations, which had been brewing for some time.

Initially, companies didn’t take it seriously, as employees were seen as readily replaceable.

But as time went on, they started to realize something was amiss.

Global consumption was dwindling across various industries, signaling the onset of a financial crisis.

Coupled with countless resignations over compensation disputes, companies found operation increasingly challenging.

Among the resigners were many hard workers and highly skilled individuals.

Ultimately, the drive for cultivation led to a surge in wages, which hadn’t seen significant growth in years.

There was no choice; market forces demanded increased wages, as finding people willing to work had become difficult.

“Who would have thought, I inadvertently did a good deed,” Zhao Guang chuckled.

While the future was unpredictable, at the very least, the previous environment of intense competition had been disrupted.

Zhao Guang himself had tried to navigate it before, and it was simply unbearable, not befitting a normal society.
