Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class Chapter 99 - Not Much, Only Four Million

Chapter 99: Not Much, Only Four Million

According to the number of applicants, Qin Chuan would increase the number of rooms as needed.
[Weapon Forging Specialization]
There were still not many who signed up for weapon forging, but there were more people than before.
He added three rooms for them, each of which could accommodate 20 people.
The former three musketeers were no longer alone.
[Alchemy Specialization]
There were still quite a number of people who signed up to refine pills.
Qin Chuan added 10 more rooms, and each room could accommodate 30 people.
[Array Formation Specialization]
Since cultivating array formations would cause hair loss, there were very few people who signed up. There were even fewer people than the Weapon Forging Specialization.
Qin Chuan only added two more array formation rooms, each of which could accommodate 30 people.
[Divination Specialization]
The people who signed up for the Divination Specialization were all very prim and proper. Furthermore, they currently didn’t need any rooms, so Qin Chuan didn’t add them.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t heard from the first batch of Divination students in a long time.
Qin Chuan thought that it was time to look for them.
[Combat Specialization]
After registrations for the first four specializations, the rest were all Combat students.
Initially, Qin Chuan thought that there wouldn’t be too many people who would choose the Combat Specialization. However, the number of people had completely exceeded his expectations.
The Alchemy Specialization had the most number of people, closely followed by the Combat Specialization.
It seemed like these old folks were quite hot-blooded.
Since the main venue for the Combat Specialization was the training hall, Qin Chuan only added two more rooms for them to all squeeze in.
After they mastered the basics, they would move outside.
…
After the distribution, Qin Chuan gathered everyone and taught them the “Breath Concealing Technique” and the “Aura Examination Technique” to prevent situations like what Wang Zhixing had encountered from occurring when they went out in the future.
Not long after, everyone dispersed to cultivate their respective specializations.
Only the members of the Divination Specialization, Zhao Xuanxuan, and Ma Qingxue, were left in the spacious training hall.
At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan was doing her physical exercises.
Through these few days of cultivation, besides the Divination specialization, she had already grasped the basic knowledge for the remaining specializations.
Apart from her own efforts, talent played an important role.
After all, she had a Fire Phoenix soul. No matter what she cultivated, she would be swift.
As for Ma Qingxue, she did not choose to learn anything and meditated as usual.
Simply breathing and cultivating could indeed raise one’s realm.
However, a person with just a cultivation realm and no other cultivation techniques was like a super minion who only knew how to use a basic attack. She certainly could not go on like this.
Qin Chuan initially wanted to do something for Ma Qingxue, but after some consideration, he concluded that she probably had her own reasons for doing so. Hence, he decided not to interfere for the time being.
After that, he brought the Divination students out of the sect.
“Sect Master, how much good karma do we have to accumulate before we pass?” someone asked.
Qin Chuan replied, “When it’s time, I will inform you.”
Someone asked again, “Sect Master, is divine punishment really very terrifying?”
I already mentioned Divine punishment when they chose the Divination specialization. Now, they’re asking again. Maybe I spoke too fast for people to understand me.
Hence, Qin Chuan explained again, “There are different kinds of divine punishment. Not all are fatal.”
“The most important factor determining the severity of the punishment is how much it would affect the future.
“If it has a great impact on the future, then the divine punishment will be severe, and vice versa.
“But in any case, when the divine punishment comes, it will cause harm to the body to some extent.
“If you have good karma, this risk can be minimized.”
This time he spoke more slowly, hoping they can understand.
To be honest, cultivation was an act of defying the heavens. Divination was the act of prying into heavenly secrets. Both were forbidden by the universe.
It was extremely risky for a cultivator to do both. The slightest mistake could result in death.
Hence, Qin Chuan was cautious about the folks
from the Divination specialization, fearing that an accident might happen.
Only after they accumulated enough good karma would he feel assured enough to teach them the true divination art.
While these people were pondering, Qin Chuan opened the cultivation register and took a look at the first batch of divination students. To his surprise, he discovered that the good karma of three students now far exceeded that of the others.
The size of others’ karma was like grapes, but those of these three people were wildly exaggerated; they were like big watermelons.
Qin Chuan was stunned.
What did these three people do?
Qin Chuan was quite confused, and he suddenly became extremely curious.
He opened the information of the three of them, and Qin Chuan couldn’t help but frown.
“Why did they go to the southern mountainous region?”
In the entire Xia country, the southern mountainous region was considered to be the most economically backward area. There were many mountains and few fields there. Having enough to eat and wear was still a problem there.
At this thought, Qin Chuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Providing people with adequate food and clothing seemed to be a big good deed.
Had these three people thought of the same idea?
He came up with a way to earn lots of good karma in a short period of time.
After pondering for a moment.
Qin Chuan spoke, “I have a method to quickly earn good karma. Are you guys interested?”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Previously, Qin Chuan had emphasized many times the importance of good karma in divination. Hence, the students were worried about obtaining good karma.
Now that Qin Chuan had a way to quickly do so, they were obviously very interested.
“Sect Master, tell us quickly.” Everyone was full of anticipation.
“The southern mountainous region is a very backward place.
“Due to its geographical location, it is unsuitable for farming. Therefore, food and clothing has become a huge problem there.
“So, I thought, if we start from there and solve this, wouldn’t it be a great deed?
“Of course, it would be very difficult for us to completely take care of the problem with just us.
“But we can do this one household at a time.
“Taking care of one household is one good deed done.
“In this way, good karma will snowball.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this. It was as if he had opened up a new world for them.
Qin Chuan continued, “I have some spare money on me. I don’t think I will need it. It’s just a wasted pile of paper with me.”
“Now would be a good time to put it to use. You can buy rations with this money and then distribute them to the families in the southern mountainous regions.”
“However, this money belongs to me. If I give it to you like this, the good karma will be mine.
“So, give me an IOU[1].
“There’s no need for interest. Put the deadline for repayment as 500 years later.”
Qin Chuan was very thorough in his considerations. For example, giving and borrowing were two completely different concepts.
If he directly gave the money to these people, it was equivalent to donating at the end of the day. Then, the good karma would definitely be his.
But borrowing was different.
By lending them money, it was equivalent to spending their future money in advance.
His role in this would be equivalent to a third party, similar to a bank.
This way, the good deeds they do would have nothing to do with him.
To be honest, he wouldn’t want them to pay him back.
Most importantly, there was still a five-hundred-year period of repayment!
When they had mastered divination, money would come quickly as fortune-telling as Feng Shui masters.
Qin Chuan took out the money from the system space. Bags of cash were strewn all over the floor.
Everyone was stunned by the amount of money.
“Sect Master, how much is this?!” someone exclaimed.
Qin Chuan shrugged his shoulders. “Not much, only 4 million.”
“Only???” Everyone could not help but swallow their saliva.
“Four million is really not a lot. Split it evenly amongst all of you, and there won’t even be a hundred thousand per person.”
There were about 70 people in the second batch of students in the Divination specialization. Together with the first batch, there wouldn’t be that much immoral h for each person.
How many families could even a few thousands of yuan take care of?
