Chapter 4169 - 4188: Cultivation Is Not Something You Can Do Just Because You Want To

A family can become a wealthy family, supported by countless foundations.

Wealthy families often have many talented individuals in various fields such as politics, martial cultivation, and commerce, each field having highly professional talents leading the family forward.

These people surround the family, this towering tree, and display their talents in multiple domains, making the family’s influence grow larger and eventually turning it into a towering tree with deeply rooted and flourishing branches.

Hao Tong’s role is that of a strategic advisor, simply put, like a military advisor of a power, a consultant for the military. They often don’t get involved in specific business operations, but they provide direction for the power’s development and offer solutions when facing difficulties.

They may not hold any specific position, but they have significant influence.

For example, when Tianheng Group encounters trouble, even though Hao Tong has no official position, he only needs to state the interests clearly, and naturally, someone from the Hao Family will go to resolve the matter.

Hao Tong is evidently very eloquent. Although it was their first meeting, he did not seem awkward at all.

Starting from the featured foods and fine wine on the table, they moved on to talk about the customs of the Imperial City, the situation of various wealthy families, the Federation, and then the Divine Realm. From lamenting his inability to achieve martial cultivation, they smoothly transitioned to discussing cultivation.

When Lin Chen knew that Hao Tong couldn’t perform martial cultivation, he vaguely understood Hao Tong’s purpose in proactively getting to know him.

Who doesn’t hope for immortality?

The Hao Family certainly has means to obtain cultivation techniques and resources, but what could be more convenient than directly fostering a good relationship with me, the pinnacle deity of the cultivation system?

Xu Qingchuan and Xue Wenrui, both engaged in cultivation, serve as living examples.

Martial cultivation and cultivation alike require talent, yet the ratio of talented individuals is not high.

Although the Hao family, an Imperial City wealthy family, has a genetic disposition that makes it more likely they can pursue martial cultivation, a higher probability doesn’t mean certainty; there are many in the Hao family who likewise cannot perform martial cultivation.

The same is true for other wealthy families.

Back then, the Wei Family wanted to directly seize Lin Chen and others, making them slaves to the Wei Family. Certainly, it was because they valued their capabilities and leadership in the Divine Realm. Besides, didn’t they hope that they could help the Wei Family engage in cultivation?

For the path of cultivation, Lin Chen and others were naturally the best choice.

"Cultivation and martial cultivation alike require talent. If there is no spiritual root, then one cannot sense spiritual Qi and thus cannot engage in cultivation..."

Hao Tong nodded: "Spiritual roots can be tested, right?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "The Divine Realm has discovered this long ago. Given Mr. Hao’s status, haven’t you tried it?"

Hao Tong laughed bitterly: "Upon knowing the path of cultivation, I indeed first tried to find out whether I could cultivate, but I tested it myself and there was no response. I’m unwilling to accept this, so I would like Mr. Lin to take another look."

Lin Chen also didn’t waste words, directly taking out the magic ball for testing: "It’s simple, place your hands on it, if there is a spiritual root, it will emit light."

Hao Tong looked at the crystal ball in front of his eyes, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "I used this to test before too..."

Hao Tong said, placing his hands on it, yet, as he said, there was no response at all.

Lin Chen said bluntly: "Spiritual roots, you either have them innately or you don’t. Without the ability to sense spiritual Qi, cultivation is naturally impossible, and there’s nothing that can be done."

"Perhaps in the future, the Federation’s technology could solve this problem, but at least in our cultivation system, there really is no way to change it. Even as a Heaven Deity, I can’t change it..."
