I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

After listening to what Village Chief He said, Qiu Yan didn't know what to say. Yes! Can't he just treat her as his sister? After all, she just called him brother. Besides, he can only treat her as his sister. Otherwise, what else can he treat her as? But no matter how he thought about it, Qiu Yan always felt that he didn't want to go out with Xiaonan to gain experience. First, Qiu Yan really didn't like being with girls, because girls were troublesome. Secondly, Qiu Yan went out to gain experience, not to play. He couldn't take care of a younger sister every day, right? In addition, going out to gain experience was dangerous. In addition, Xiaonan looked so tempting. Qiu Yan was really afraid that he could not protect Xiaonan and failed the trust of the village chief. If that happened, how could he have the face to come back to see the village chief and others in the future?

So after thinking about it, Qiu Yan said to Village Chief He, "Village Chief He, although I can treat Xiaonan as my sister, she is not my sister after all. Besides, going out for training may take a long time and be dangerous. If she encounters any danger, I am afraid I will not be able to take care of her, so..." At this point, Qiu Yan didn't have the courage to say directly that he didn't want to take Xiaonan with him, but the meaning was already very clear.

Village Chief He understood what Qiu Yan meant. Generally speaking, it takes ten or even several dozen years to go out for training, because the True Spirit Continent is too big, and it is impossible to travel that fast. People like Qiu Yan who go down the mountain to travel under the order of their master often take longer, because from the moment they go down the mountain, their path of cultivation is destined to be carried out in traveling. Thinking of this, Village Chief He knew that it was impossible for Qiu Yan to take Xiao Nan with him for training all the time, because that would not be of any benefit to Qiu Yan's training, but would bring him some trouble. So for Qiu Yan's consideration, Village Chief He thought of a way, and said to Qiu Yan, "How about this, little brother Qiu Yan, you just need to take Xiao Nan to level up to level 50, and when she reaches level 50, she will be eligible to practice in the Royal Academy. At that time, little brother Qiu Yan just needs to send her to the Royal Academy. Do you think this is okay?"

"Level 50?" Hearing what Village Chief He said, Qiu Yan touched his chin and thought for a while. He felt that if it was level 50, there should be no problem. Judging from the time he cultivated to level 50 at that time, it only took a few months. Although his cultivation speed might be faster than that of ordinary practitioners, with Xiao Nan's talent, plus his own spiritual peach and elixir, it should not be difficult to raise Xiao Nan to level 50 in one year. And if he only took Xiao Nan for one year, Qiu Yan felt that he could help him. Thinking of this, Qiu Yan nodded, and then said to Village Chief He, "Village Chief He, if you just take her to level 50, there will be no problem. After level 50, I will send her to the Royal Academy, but I am not sure whether the Royal Academy will accept her, because I heard from my master that the Royal Academy seems to be a place where some geniuses go. If it is only level 50..." Qiu Yan is worried that Xiao Nan will not be able to enter the Royal Academy even if she reaches level 50, because if she can enter the Royal Academy to practice at only level 50, then the threshold of the Royal Academy is really a bit low, which is completely unworthy of the name of the Royal Academy.

Hearing Qiu Yan's worry, Village Chief He smiled, and then explained to Qiu Yan, "Brother Qiu Yan doesn't know much about the outside world, so you may have some misunderstandings about geniuses." Village Chief He paused and then continued, "In the True Spirit Continent, the so-called genius refers to someone who can cultivate to level 50 before the age of 25. Such people are qualified to enter the Royal Academy.

But reaching level 50 before the age of 25 only proves that you are qualified to enter the Royal Academy. To truly enter the Royal Academy, you need a certain amount of talent. As for talent, I think Xiaonan has absolutely no problem. So as long as Xiaonan can reach the fifth-level spiritual master before the age of 25, then she will have no problem entering the Royal Academy to practice. "

Reaching level 50 at the age of 25, isn't that something that anyone can do? What's so difficult about it? After all, Village Chief He just said that most ordinary practitioners can improve by more than ten levels a year before the age of fifty? Then according to Xiaonan's standard, a person who starts practicing at the age of fourteen and practices until the age of eighteen or nineteen can at least reach the fifth-level spiritual master, so Qiu Yan doesn't understand, is it so easy to be a genius on the True Spirit Continent? So Qiu Yan, who couldn't figure it out, asked Village Chief He, "Village Chief He, according to what you said before, the speed of an ordinary practitioner before level 50 is about ten levels a year, so if a practitioner starts practicing at the age of fourteen or fifteen, then wouldn't every practitioner be able to reach the level of a genius? Isn't this genius a little too unsophisticated?"

After hearing Qiu Yan's curiosity, Village Chief He took a sip of wine and then explained to Qiu Yan, "Theoretically speaking, if a person starts practicing at the age of fourteen, then he can reach level fifty in the next ten years. This is true, but not everyone in this continent can start practicing at the age of fourteen."

"Why?" Qiu Yan became even more curious after hearing what Village Chief He said, and asked.

"Haha!" Village Chief He smiled upon hearing Qiu Yan's words, and then said calmly, "This is because most people are able to sense spiritual power after the age of twenty. Not many people can sense spiritual power before the age of twenty. There are very few people like Xiaonan who can sense spiritual power at the age of fourteen. Therefore, for ordinary practitioners who can sense spiritual power after the age of twenty, it is not easy to cultivate to level fifty at the age of twenty-five. Besides, cultivating to level fifty at the age of twenty-five is just the threshold of genius. The real top geniuses are those who have reached level one hundred before the age of twenty-five. So it's not that geniuses have no gold content, but there is a gap between geniuses."

"So that's how it is!" After hearing what Village Chief He said, Qiu Yan nodded in understanding. His master had never told him this before, and he thought that he could start practicing whenever he wanted. It seems that things are not as simple as he thought. The time to sense spiritual power is different. Thinking about this, Qiu Yan thought of another question, that is, how old does the latest person have to be to sense spiritual power? Thinking of this, Qiu Yan asked Village Chief He curiously, "Village Chief He, how old is the latest person to sense spiritual power?"

"There is no latest. Generally speaking, if you still can't sense spiritual power before the age of 25, it won't make much sense even if you can sense spiritual power later, because no matter whether it is the Royal Academy or the ordinary academy, their admission age is limited to before the age of 25. If ordinary practitioners cannot enter the academy to practice, then no matter how talented they are, they won't make any progress. After all, cultivation requires resources. Although these resources can be bought with money, who among the ordinary people can afford to buy these resources themselves? People who have the money to buy resources will not wait until they are 25 years old to sense spiritual power. Even if the wealthy families use spiritual medicine, they will let their women sense spiritual power before the age of 20. So generally speaking, people who can't sense after the age of 25 are basically ordinary people, and ordinary people who want to practice must enter the academy to have the opportunity to improve themselves, otherwise it is meaningless."

After saying this, Village Chief He smiled and looked at Qiu Yan. What he said just now was the most basic common sense in the True Spirit Continent. Not to mention practitioners, even ordinary people knew these common senses. However, Qiu Yan, as a first-level great spiritual master, did not even know these. This not only made Village Chief He curious about Qiu Yan's previous life. Because even if a person has never been exposed to the outside world, his master should have told him some things about the outside world in the past ten years. After all, his master had the purpose of letting Qiu Yan go out to experience, so Village Chief He was very curious. Since Qiu Yan's master wanted Qiu Yan to go out to experience, why didn't he tell Qiu Yan these? However, although Village Chief He was curious about these, he did not show it, because everyone has their own secrets or things they don't want to say. Since Qiu Yan didn't mean to say these, he naturally wouldn't ask more. After all, these things are not important to him. What is important to him is Qiu Yan's own character. As long as Qiu Yan is kind, and then Qiu Yan agrees to take Xiao Nan out to experience, it is enough. Village Chief He doesn't even care about his affairs.

After listening to the story of Village Chief He, Qiu Yan finally understood all this. According to Village Chief He, if an average person cannot sense spiritual power before the age of 25, he will not sense spiritual power again. But if he cannot sense spiritual power, does that mean that he will never become a cultivator? Qiu Yan thought that this should be the case. After all, this world is for cultivating spiritual power. If you cannot cultivate spiritual power, you naturally cannot become a cultivator. But are there many people in this world who cannot cultivate?

Thinking of this question, Qiu Yan asked Village Chief He again, "Village Chief He, are there many people in the True Spirit Continent who are still unable to sense spiritual power at the age of 25?" Qiu Yan did not directly ask whether there were many non-practitioners in the True Spirit Continent, but changed the way he said it, but the meaning was almost the same.

"many!"

Village Chief He replied with one word, then picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, then continued, "Only about half of the people on this continent can sense spiritual power before the age of twenty-five. The remaining half are those who cannot sense spiritual power before the age of twenty-five, and those people are also called ordinary people. Although ordinary people and cultivators live in the same sky and earth, they do not live in the same world. The world of cultivators is colorful, and they can soar into the sky and travel through the heavens and the earth, while the world of ordinary people is dull. From getting married to dying, they have to work hard for three meals a day all their lives. Just like in our village, most of them are ordinary people. They do not have a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, nor do they have the ability to soar into the sky. They can only stay in the village to herd cattle and plow the fields all their lives until they die a hundred years later." After speaking, Village Chief He poured another bowl of wine and started drinking.
