Dan Valley, Tool Sect, and Talisman Sect, these three major forces had used money to settle this matter, but the Sword Sect obviously couldn't do this. The Sword Sect didn't even have enough cultivation resources for themselves, let alone the other major forces.
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "First, seal off the Sword Mansion. From today onwards, no one is allowed to enter. As for other matters, I will think about it carefully."
He hadn't thought of a good solution for the time being, but it was crucial to limit the number of cultivators entering the Jian Province. He couldn't allow more rogue cultivators and forces to enter the Sword Mansion. Otherwise, the pressure on the Sword Sect would only increase.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing, Nangong Guan, and the others nodded in agreement. Sealing off the Sword Mansion was something that must be done.
This was the only thing they could do for the time being. However, compared to other places, the situation in the Sword Mansion was still pretty good. It was said that the Heavenly Sect had begun to expel the foreign forces in the He Tian Province. They had even destroyed two or three forces.
The Heavenly Sect's methods were obviously tougher, but there was nothing they could do about it. Like Xiao Chen, Yang Chen naturally couldn't distribute the cultivation resources of the Heavenly Sect to other forces. Moreover, the major spirit stone veins in the He Tian Province already had owners and couldn't be redistributed. Therefore, the best way was to expel the foreign forces and cultivators.
However, Xiao Chen didn't want to do this. Or rather, Xiao Chen wasn't willing to use this method until the last moment.
The matter of sealing off the Sword Mansion was completely handed over to Cang Xing and the others. Xiao Chen hadn't thought of a good solution for several days. In addition, the Sect Masters and Sect Masters of the foreign forces would come to the City Lord Mansion every day to inquire about the matter, which made Xiao Chen a little upset.
Feeling a little depressed, Xiao Chen strolled alone on the streets of Tong City. Perhaps because of the chaotic situation in Tong City, the originally bustling streets had become somewhat bleak at this moment.
The shops on both sides of the street were only open in twos and threes, and there weren't many people on the street, only a few people.
Every time an upheaval broke out, the ones who were affected the most were not the martial artists, but the ordinary people who lived at the bottom and had no cultivation.
This was because they did not have any ability to protect themselves in front of cultivators. They could be killed at any time. Moreover, the outbreak of chaos was, to put it bluntly, the collapse of the rules.
With the collapse of the rules that could originally restrain cultivators, some malicious or cruel cultivators no longer had any scruples in their actions. As a result, those ordinary people without any cultivation would naturally suffer.
Xiao Chen sighed as he looked at the scattered commoners coming and going. But suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of an idea, an idea that had been planted in Xiao Chen's mind.
Xiao Chen still remembered that when he took over Bazhou, he was faced with many ordinary people who had no cultivation. At that time, he had thought that if he were to become powerful enough one day, he would definitely give everyone a chance to cultivate.
He didn't ask for their cultivation to be high, but at least they would have some opportunities to cultivate or be free from the invasion of illness.
He had always had this idea, but he had to put it aside temporarily due to various reasons. But now, it seemed possible.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's eyes unconsciously flashed with a glint. He immediately turned around and returned to the City Lord Mansion. In the garden, Xiao Chen pondered alone for more than four hours. After perfecting some details, Xiao Chen increasingly felt that his idea was feasible.
Originally, he hadn't implemented this method mainly because there weren't any extra cultivators in the Sword Sect who knew how to cultivate.
One had to know that in order for everyone to be able to cultivate, the amount of manpower needed was not a small number. After all, for those ordinary people who had never come into contact with martial arts, their talent was not high. It was almost impossible for them to be self-taught. Therefore, it was necessary to have a martial artist as a teacher to teach them the knowledge of cultivation.
According to the scale of Xiao Chen's idea, a martial arts courtyard would be set up in every city. Every martial arts courtyard, even the smallest one, would need at least ten cultivators.
As a result, the number of cultivators required would naturally be many. It was impossible for the Sword Sect to spare so many people to manage this matter.
But now, the manpower problem was obviously solved. Now that so many foreign forces and independent cultivators had entered the Sword Mansion, it wasn't impossible to build the martial arts courtyard system that Xiao Chen envisioned in the Sword Mansion with them as the foundation.
Moreover, by using these people to set up martial arts courtyards, the matter of cultivation resources would naturally be solved. After all, Xiao Chen would also charge some fees to enter the martial arts courtyards. Of course, it wouldn't be too high.
However, the scattered fees for each person shouldn't be underestimated. It should be known that the martial arts courtyards that Xiao Chen envisioned were different from ordinary martial arts courtyards.
Previously, the martial arts courtyards in the Great Thousand World were basically opened to the disciples of the big families. The fees were very high, and the number of students was destined to be small. For example, the Heavenly Policy Mansion was actually transformed from a martial arts courtyard.
However, the martial arts courtyards that Xiao Chen envisioned were mainly targeted at the ordinary people. Therefore, the fees wouldn't be too high. However, due to the large number of people, the fees that seemed low were definitely not a small sum when added up.
Moreover, the martial arts courtyards that Xiao Chen envisioned weren't for the elite. Xiao Chen also didn't intend to cultivate the ordinary people into peerless powerhouses or to have a high cultivation base.
In this way, the consumption of cultivation resources for the martial arts courtyards wouldn't be a big problem. They only needed some basic cultivation resources and elixirs. To put it bluntly, the prices of these cultivation resources and elixirs were simply extremely cheap. To put it bluntly, there were still many similar basic cultivation resources piled up in the Sword Sect. Normally, no one would use and pay attention to them. It was a complete waste.
In this way, these cultivation resources would be used to set up the martial arts courtyards. After the martial arts courtyards were on the right track, they would be self-sufficient. Not only would this solve the current problem, but it would also greatly increase the prestige of the Sword Sect. Who could guarantee that there wouldn't be a few geniuses among the ordinary people? With so many people, it could be said that they would act as backup troops for the Sword Sect. Once there were good seedlings, they could be recruited into the Sword Sect. It could be said that it was killing two birds with one stone.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. Xiao Chen also couldn't wait to say to the maidservant beside him, "Go and invite the Deputy Sect Masters here."
