Chapter 1169 Comprehensive Improvement
Nan Zhu naturally recognized the voice and immediately turned his head, glaring with bloodshot eyes, "You heartless capitalist!"
Chen Yang heard the title and offered no explanation, instead taking out a few top-grade spirit stones and distributing them to the two.
"You've worked hard, worked hard. I'm looking for replacements."
This job had no strict requirements regarding cultivation level, but it demanded an exceptionally high level of insight.
Not only did one need to understand various systems, but even if talent was lacking, one had to quickly judge whether the individual was cultivable.
Under such circumstances, suitable candidates were truly few.
More importantly, the indigenous races of the Ground Realm were diverse, and applying human methods to all of them might not even be suitable.
Thus, Chen Yang set the standards very low.
The more people there were, the greater the workload for Nan Zhu and Xi Bai.
However, when Chen Yang presented the top-grade spirit stones, both of them were swayed!
With such items produced, what grievances could they possibly have?
"Oh! Isn't this Dean Chen Yang! Why are you here in person?"
Nan Zhu's sudden change in demeanor earned him a glare from Chen Yang. Chen Yang shook off the hands Nan Zhu had placed on his shoulders and said, "This is the busiest period right now, just persevere a little longer."
"Speaking of which, have the records been compiled? I want to see how many students we have now."
Xi Bai, handing the records to Chen Yang, explained in a low voice, "To be honest, there aren't many truly talented individuals."
After flipping through a couple of pages, Chen Yang also felt a sense of helplessness.
In fact, Chen Yang had anticipated this situation a long time ago.
The various factions in the Ground Realm currently maintained a certain degree of centralization, meaning all geniuses appearing within their spheres of influence were absorbed.
Even if there were some oversights, as long as someone displayed their talent anywhere, at any time, they would receive an offer.
Therefore, the number of geniuses the academy could currently gather would not be excessively large.
However, Chen Yang comforted himself and explained, "Don't overthink it. Even those without talent can still be cultivated."
"If all else fails, we'll just pile on spirit stones!"
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, the two beside him gasped in unison.
Spirit stones!
They even suspected that Chen Yang possessed a spirit stone mine!
After leaving with the documents, Chen Yang immediately sought out his optimal candidate.
Wu Min!
If there was anyone who could competently handle this task, who else could it be besides Wu Min?
"What? Do I look like I have nothing to do right now?"
"Stop joking. I still need to break through to my original cultivation level!"
Although Wu Min had reached the Fusion Pill realm, he had not fully recovered his strength.
Because of this, he had even missed Chen Yang's previous meetings.
"Don't rush, just take a look at this information!"
Saying this, Chen Yang handed over the document in his hand.
Wu Min reluctantly took it and flipped through a couple of pages. Black lines instantly appeared on his forehead. Suppressing the urge to curse, he said, "Are you sure you want to cultivate these people?"
"Even if you possess a spirit stone vein, cultivating these individuals will be exceptionally difficult!"
"Setting aside the lack of talent, they don't even look remotely connected to cultivation!"
Facing Wu Min's mockery, Chen Yang shrugged, "I thought you would understand the contents, but it seems you don't!"
Wu Min's eyes immediately widened. What did Chen Yang mean by that? Was he looking down on him?
He then pulled out a file and pointed to the assessment, "Look at this person. Although his meridians are wide, his body is internally weak and utterly unsuitable for cultivation. It's already impressive that he can maintain his vitality without depletion!"
"Even though they are different from humans in certain aspects, the principles are the same."
"I'm a rogue cultivator and haven't been to any major sects, but I must have some understanding of this."
However, after Wu Min finished speaking, Chen Yang smiled, took that file, and said indifferently, "Using the Root Void Flower as the primary ingredient, supplemented by Blood Vitality Grass, within a month, his physical condition will improve, let alone half a year."
"Within a year, he can become a genius martial artist. Coupled with his innate meridians, becoming a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator should be no problem, possibly even Fusion Pill."
Wu Min stared blankly at Chen Yang. After a long while, he patted his forehead, a wry smile appearing on his face, "I'd forgotten. You are a divine physician!"
"Not only that, but you can also refine pills… Damn it, no wonder that kid Qin Yi chose you."
Chen Yang gave a dry laugh. "That's why I believe this endeavor has merit. However, there's a very important matter. If you don't help, even if I have these methods to enhance their talent, these people will never appear before me!"
Wu Min curled his lips. Of course, he knew why Chen Yang had come to find him – to help them assess the talent of these Ground Realm inhabitants.
Although this task was somewhat time-consuming, if, as Chen Yang said, it could improve their talent, then there was a chance to cultivate them.
After much deliberation, Wu Min finally agreed to Chen Yang's invitation.
It was just a matter of helping to assess these people's talent.
When Chen Yang produced those gleaming top-grade spirit stones, Wu Min was tempted.
However, on the third day, Wu Min could no longer endure and personally went to find Chen Yang.
With a grim expression, Wu Min looked at Chen Yang and said word by word, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Chen Yang quickly gestured for Wu Min to sit down, looking at him with a confused expression, "What are you talking about? I've been studying Ground Realm cultivation techniques for the past two days. What have I done?"
Wu Min stared intently at Chen Yang, speaking word by word, "Do you truly not know what's happening outside?"
"It's no longer just the Ground Realm people from the Land of Hope who are coming to register for the academy. Even people from other regions have heard about this and are flocking here!"
"Now, the students recruited by the academy in the Land of Hope come from various factions!"
"If you continue like this, it's going to cause a major upheaval!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang burst into laughter, "Oh, so that's what you're talking about!"
How could Chen Yang not be aware of the current recruitment situation?
He knew even more than Wu Min.
Because the first person to report the situation was not Wu Min, but Dong Cang.
Currently, the greatest pressure in the Land of Hope was not on the academy department, but on Dong Cang, who was responsible for intelligence work.
