CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 420: INTRODUCING CULTIVATION TO THE FENG FAMILY

And such measures have proven to be necessary as their sect hadn’t had a single case of a sick person, let alone the spreading of the pandemic.

As soon as Mother Feng realized that she didn’t have any work, she unpacked the kitchen supplies and made tea for everyone.

Chu Miao held her cup and looked at her friend.

"Tutu, there is something I need to talk to you about." She said with a serious expression that caused the Feng family members to immediately change their expressions.

"What is it? Feel free to say whatever you want. There’s no need for formalities between us." Feng Tu was open and straightforward with her friend.

She didn’t seem to have any scruples about whatever her friend wanted to talk about.

"I am sure even if you haven’t read history books that talk about cultivation, you must have at least read one of those novels that exaggerate ancient cultivation and the abilities of cultivators, right?" Instead of going straight to the main subject, Chu Miao first decided to sound her friend out.

"Of course, you were practically obsessed with apocalypse novels and those ancient dramas.

So, of course I was forced to watch them with you in the school dormitory. What about it?" Feng Tu had an inkling of what her friend wanted to say, but she wasn’t sure.

Thus, she chose to play it safe and ask questions first.

"Well, my family has an old legacy about cultivation but for some reason, it was only unlocked after the apocalypse started. Or to be more precise, a month before the apocalypse started.

That’s why I advised you to let your family move here and find a high-rise building.

However, at the time the information we had was limited and we only knew that a catastrophe that could mean the end of the world was coming.

So, I only based my judgement on the many apocalypse novels I had read. So, we managed to prepare during the last month.

We weren’t sure if something would really happen but it did.

This base was created following the ancient principles we found in the Chu family legacy we found.

As such, the base is more like an ancient sect and the members have an opportunity to cultivate.

There were cultivation techniques and resources left behind by our Chu family ancestors. We thought that instead of using them alone as a family, it was better to share with other people as it would give more humans a chance at survival.

Nevertheless, we don’t want to equip people who might use what we give them to oppress others or push humanity deeper into the abyss.

That’s why you saw such strict measures being taken for those who join us." Chu Miao was more talkative when it came to her best friend, so she explained everything in more detail.

She had talked so much that her throat felt dry, hence, she took a sip of her tea first.

Feng Tu and her parents were shocked by the information they had just been given.

When the apocalypse came, they realized that Chu Miao must have known something for her to have advised Feng Tu to convince her parents to move into A City and buy some supplies.

Nevertheless, they never thought that the Chu family had so much information.

How had their ancestors known about something that would happen so many years later and even prepare some resources?

Even though they had many questions, they knew better than to ask.

Thus, they kept quiet and listened more attentively to what Chu Miao had to say.

"There will be classes for cultivation held mainly for young children, because it is easier for young kids to walk the path of cultivation than grown ups.

However, there will also be classes for adults to learn.

Everyone will have to be tested first to determine if they have a spiritual root so as not to waste time.

If they have a spiritual root, no matter how poor it is, they would be taught how to cultivate.

This will apply especially to those without superpowers. Those with superpowers can also cultivate because with cultivation, you can go further than merely having other abilities.

Those without superpowers or have no spiritual roots and remain ordinary people would also have to train their bodies.

There are other resources that can be used to strengthen ordinary people and make them more resilient and stronger.

This will help in fighting zombies or other survivors who turn into enemies.

The reason I wanted to talk to you personally is because I think you can be an excellent cultivator.

If you start cultivating now, you will be a little behind, but with hard work, you can catch up.

I will give you guys some pills that can help to clear impurities and cleanse the marrow.

Once you’ve taken it, it can help to improve your spiritual root and increase the speed at which you absorb spiritual energy.

I don’t have many of those pills so I can only give them to a select few. Mostly our family friends, the others can only follow the longer route." Chu Miao felt that she had talked a lot and given all the information that her friend might need.

"So, you are saying that we can actually become those immortal cultivators?" Feng Tu was really surprised this time.

She hadn’t expected her friend to have such a secret.

"What immortal? That’s just selling a pipe dream. Cultivators indeed have longer lifespans but they are not immortals.

It’s just that, the stronger you become, the longer your lifespan.

For instance, I have already advanced to the Golden Core Realm and my lifespan has increased to five hundred years.

People like my grandpa have advanced to the foundation establishment, which means that their lifespan is at least two hundred years.

As long as they continue to cultivate and breakthrough to the next realm, then their lifespan will extend to five hundred years as well.
