Ken interrupted their complaining "have you guys heard about the matchmaking that is going on?"
Liu: "have you been living under a rock. Everyone signed up trying to get a partner but if you tell me I don't think this thing will last because after this month the ban on seduction and charm techniques will be lifted.
I don't know what will happen after that but I heard rumors that we are going to have hard time because there are only 30 percent of us to 70 percent of the women.
The women of depraved profanity peak always try to poach men of other peaks and the heavenly joy peak doesn't like that so there are going to be a lot of fights and killings."
Ken was surprised Liu noticed this as he usually acted as an idiot. Ken took his first step but he didn't have a long plan so he was going to ask.
Ken: "do you guys know if there are any matchmaking that specializes in virgins?"
Hashiro: "why would you want virgins. They are in experienced so you won't be able to cultivate as much as you want.
Men are fighting for women with plenty of experience so that they can cultivate longer and better."
Jin: "virgins don't have a good stamina and they don't usually satisfy you to the point of finishing multiple times and aren't adept to releasing ample amount of Yin Qi so I think you should find other groups."
Ken: "I have thought about it don't worry I just want to find it."
Liu: "if you say so then there is a group in the myriad fragrance peak that just talks about Dao and are pretty lonely. I will take you there later."
The group just chatted about other things happening and went on their separate ways as Liu took ken to register to the matchmaking. Ken put in his broad criteria's except for the requirement that they must be virgins.
Seeing the catalog of women he would be matched up with gave him doubts as they didn't look very good. But ken didn't think about too much.
Ken got to the house he thought about which classes to attend. Ken first wanted to learn his chosen blade and escape techniques as he felt like he was unguarded and that made him feel like insecure.
The next morning ken did his usual training and got ready for the class he had been waiting for the cultivation knowledge class.
Many people don't have access to information about cultivators unless they pass through the foundation establishment stage where it is said real cultivation journey truly begins.
Ken arrived early to the class and took his sit in the middle of the class to blend in a habit he picked up. Little by little the classroom hall started filling up with people.
The elder who is going to give the lecture entered and closed the door behind him. The elder was a middle aged man this a sharp eyebrows, the elder placed his hands behind his back as he paced around the room.
He asked
"what is cultivation? And why do we cultivate?"
The question got people of guard but some raised answered their ideas. After some answers the elder gave his answer.
"Cultivation is the pursuit of Dao that govern this world. It is as simple as that but the second question isn't answered that simply because everyone's answer is different and that is why there are countless cultivation techniques and why people varying degree of progress in cultivation."
Some people raised their hands at the front row "what does talent have to do with the why we cultivate?"
The elder: "most of you think that why we cultivate doesn't matter but it is the main factor that determines our growth because if the cultivation technique you follow and the reason why you cultivate doesn't match the technique won't be effective.
Don't think of cultivation techniques as just a tool because they are the link that is between you and the Dao. Si if there is a mismatch in the link you will remain stuck in place.
For example if a person who cultivates because he wants to live long peaceful life cultivates using a cultivation technique that was made taking the slaughter Dao in mind won't go far"
The next topic was about the inheritances we received
"Some of you are curious about the differences between a cultivation sutra and a scripture. The main difference is that cultivation sutras are just a leading force in the link between you and the heavenly Dao but to strengthen that bond and understand more about the Dao.
Scriptures not only contain sutras but also other arts derived from the same specific Dao."
The lecture went on about other things and concluded the lecture with this.
"Kids do you know why the first for four stage are seen one major stage called foundation establishment?"
He didn't get an answer so he explained from the beginning
"Most of you know that the first four are body refining, spirit condensation, soul shaving and qi refining.
This minor stages each contain three stage in them and combine to form 12 minor stages of foundation establishment unlike other that will come after it which only have 4 minor stage.
It is because this part of our journey becomes the base and the shape of the out future cultivation path. So I advise you to study carefully and read more about this in the library."
