The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 548
Chapter 548: Chapter 496: The Biggest Problem Encountered in the Contribution Point Plan.
Pei Xuanjing originally referred to Qingyang Zi as a senior, inheriting this title from his martial academy days. Even when Pei Xuanjing’s strength had vastly surpassed Qingyang Zi, he did not change how he referred to him.
However, Qingyang Zi insisted on being called otherwise. Given Pei Xuanjing’s current strength, hardly anyone could be legitimately referred to as his senior. Especially as Qingyang Zi and Xuanjing’s fellow apprentice, Qingxu Taoist, were peers, he could not possibly address Qingyang Zi as his senior, so this appellation naturally ceased.
Qingyang Zi shook his head repeatedly, saying: “This is merely part of my duties, no hardship involved. Besides, the position of instructor in the Taoist Academy is one which many people yearn for. If anything, I’m the one benefiting.”
To Qingyang Zi who had formerly managed the Martial Academy, the responsibility of managing the Taoist Academy for the past few years was hardly a challenge or complication, and certainly wasn’t effortful.
In fact, Pei Xuanjing’s invitation freed him from several nuisances, saving him abundant worry.
From what he knew, the issues and complications he encountered in the True Martial Sect existed in many major power circles around the world. The greater the force, the more conflicts arise.
From his current position, many of his peers who dislike power struggles yearn to secure an instructor’s position in the Taoist Academy.
Pei Xuanjing chuckled lightly and ceased to speak. Following this, he was led by Qingyang Zi on a stroll through the Taoist Academy, learning about the developments of both the Academy and the world.
This simulation of Pei Xuanjing’s life lasted approximately five years. However, in the context of the current Daming World, where every day brought rapid changes, five years were significant.
In these five years, following the rules set by Pei Xuanjing, the Taoist Academy admitted two batches of disciples. Presently, the number of disciples in the academy exceeded six thousand, and there were nearly a hundred instructors.
“I must say, your strategies are indeed effective, master. By now, approximately 70 percent of all martial arts skills have been cataloged in the Taoist Academy. No other place comes close in terms of the number of martial arts skills they possess,” commented Qingyang Zi, somewhat in awe.
Exchanging contribution points for martial arts skills was an inconceivable concept to many ordinary martial artists.
Pei Xuanjing nodded and asked, “Have there been any problems?”
He had initially implemented this strategy temporarily, but could not monitor later operations due to time restraints, as he spent the majority of these five years in cultivation retreat.
However, Pei Xuanjing was not worried about any problems arising from these plans. After familiarizing himself with this initiative during the life simulation, and assuming control of the Eternal Divine Dynasty, he became proficient in implementing the scheme. All he needed to do was replicate it here.
“Indeed, there is one problem and that’s private teaching,” Qingyang Zi said with a frown, “Some people disseminate the skills privately to those they’re close to after exchanging them.”
From the Taoist Academy’s perspective, this would be undermining their authority, as those people only paid a one-time amount of contribution points to acquire the skills from the academy; even though they earnestly forbid private dissemination. But the allure of profit is so great, some still risk punishment by conducting illicit trades.
Even with Pei Xuanjing’s backing, the support from Taoist School, and the Great Ming imperial court strictly prohibiting private teaching, transgressions were inevitable.
From the very first day skills were exchanged for contribution points, this situation has happened. Even paying the ultimate price did not deter many from breaking the rules.
Fortunately, the most widely circulated are mostly low and intermediate-level martial arts. High-level martial arts being precious and most first-class martial artists listed in Bai Xiaosheng and Factory Guard Six Gates’ records, such incidents were less common.
However, in Qingyang Zi’s view, this issue should not be overlooked. If allowed to continue unchecked, more people might flock in. Especially with the continuous rejuvenation of the world and the increasing number of first and second-rate martial artists after Pei Xuanjing revealed how to fix the deficiencies in heterodox cultivator’s practice, it’s impossible for Bai Xiaosheng and Factory Guard Six Gates’ records to fully cover them.
“This is not a big problem, I naturally have a way to solve it,” Pei Xuanjing laughed, confidently.
He had anticipated this problem. After all, where there is profit, there will be people willing to take risks.
If this were before the life simulation, he wouldn’t have known how to solve it even if he was aware of the problem. But, having experienced the sim, he devised a corresponding strategy.
In the life simulation, Pei Xuanjing also encountered the same problem when he introduced the skill exchange. Even killing countless people did not stop some from taking risks.
Thus, he changed his approach and aimed to resolve this at its roots.
Skill Sealing, Uniqueness.
This was the key to protect skill leakage. Once the origin was sealed, there would be no worries.
In the simulation, Pei Xuanjing took a simple approach: he managed the dissemination of skills himself.
This may seem incredible, but there was no denying that Pei Xuanjing achieved it effortlessly.
Based on Pei Xuanjing’s strength now, regardless of his spiritual consciousness, his power is terrifying. He can divide his consciousness into thousands. Every single one of them may seem ordinary to cultivators of the same realm, but to those of lower realms, it was incredibly influential and mystical.
During the simulation, Pei Xuanjing constructed countless divine statues in the Eternal Divine Dynasty. He divided his consciousness into numerous parts which, receiving power from the Power of Incense Fire, allowed them to exist for a long time.
He then treated these fragments as if they were exclusive NPCs in a game, instructing those who wanted to exchange for skills. During the teaching process, the consciousness would establish a seal that would disperse the skill and erase the receiver’s memory when they attempted to privately disseminate.
With his current abilities, if Pei Xuanjing truly wished to erase someone’s memory silently, very few could resist.
