Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

If even a Nascent Soul cultivator felt this way, then it goes without saying that a newcomer who had just enrolled would feel the same way. Chen Yuran naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against Zhou Ran, and instead cast a sympathetic glance at him.

He thought to himself, if this person doesn't die prematurely, he is very likely to grow into a great figure in the Immortal Alliance in the future. He can't say for sure that he will reach the Nascent Soul stage, but at least reaching the Divine Transformation stage shouldn't be too difficult...

However, our senior wasn't envious at all.

Top students are all aloof.

Unfortunately, the path this person is about to embark on is thorny, and in the future, he may even be looked down upon by underachieving students because of his various brainless behaviors.

Thinking about it, Chen Yuran felt quite sorry for this outcome of reversing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

A silly spiritual root, while possessing exceptional talent, will also lose many things. I wonder if this student can withstand it.

May this genius not be cut short!

After composing herself, Chen Yuran decided to continue. She coughed lightly, drawing the students' attention back to her, and her smiling voice echoed throughout the room.

"I know many of you who, although you were admitted to this prestigious Shuiyun Academy, are not willing to become cultivators."

"I understand your concerns and the choices you've made. After all, compared to the unknown path to immortality and the dangers and hardships you'll face, who wouldn't prefer to give up?"

"Mortals can live for three hundred years, but if they cannot condense the golden core, the lifespan of cultivators is even shorter."

"In this highly productive world, where work is done by robots and everyone is protected by divine intervention, we could have simply lay down and waited to die, living the life of ancient emperors."

"I won't use the Immortal Alliance's propaganda to demand anything of you. After all, you won't live for 8000 years anyway, and the crisis that Guixu will face in the future really won't have much to do with you..."

Everyone listened in a daze, staring blankly at the podium.

They hadn't expected their senior to be so straightforward, completely from their perspective, and every word she said resonated with them.

"Senior, do you mean... you also agree with our 'laissez-faire' attitude and not 'cultivating immortality'?"

"No." Chen Yuran waved her hand. "How could I possibly agree? Don't forget, I'm your senior. I'm here to teach you how to cultivate immortality. This is my professional practice class, and I don't want to fail it..."

"Then what you just did?"

"I'm just telling the truth. After all, you wouldn't be interested in empty talk."

Everyone nodded, their curiosity growing. "You've already told us the truth, so how will you persuade us to embark on the path to immortality?"

Is there only one reason why cultivating immortality can make you more beautiful?

It's too superficial and clearly not appealing enough!

It's as if they have mind-reading abilities.

Or rather, having already guessed what everyone was thinking, Chen Yuran smiled sweetly: "A mere reason to become more beautiful is certainly not enough. In fact, there are many other benefits to cultivating immortality."

"for example?"

"For example, flying through the air and disappearing into the earth, moving mountains and overturning seas with a wave of the hand..." Chen Yuran's voice was like a nightingale singing in a valley: "These are the basics, and also the things that mortals know the most about and see most often."

"But are you sure you really understand all of this?"

"I know that technology is advanced nowadays, with airplanes and submarines. These things can easily take you to the skies or the depths of the ocean. But do you really think that the pleasure and dopamine from relying on external aids and being confined to a means of transportation can compare to the power of cultivators to travel to the heavens and the earth?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Chen Yuran's face: "That's just an illusion. The real experience is completely different."

"Of course, you can choose not to believe everything I've said, but once you try it yourself, and after you've established your foundation and are able to break free from the constraints of gravity and soar freely in the sky like a bird, you'll know that every word I've said today is not an exaggeration..."

The girl's voice echoed in the empty classroom, carrying an unparalleled allure.

In this process, she used a bit of seduction, or more precisely, one of the seventy-two ways of using seduction as a foundation.

That's right, the current state of cultivation is just that absurd.

They have created a scientific cultivation system, and even the simplest art of seduction is now being expanded into a separate discipline.

Of course, she only scratched the surface, but she was able to subtly plant the seeds of her message in the hearts of her classmates.

He noticed that all the students were staring at him.

A radiant smile graced Chen Yuran's face: "And this is just the basics. Becoming a cultivator brings countless benefits you can't even imagine..."

"for example?"

"For example, ordinary people who just want to live a life of leisure could be genetically modified to have a lifespan of three hundred years, while productivity would be highly developed, with robots doing all the work. As a result, every ordinary person could enjoy a life like that of an ancient emperor. Do you think that would be really wonderful?"

"Isn't that right?" the crowd asked in confusion.

"Of course not."

A slight, disdainful smile appeared on Chen Yuran's face, not with sarcasm, but with a hint of regret: "The reason you think this way is because you are ignorant and haven't experienced what a truly high-end life is like..."

"Let me just say this: since mortals are not needed to create wealth, their existence is merely as the foundation of the cultivation world, or rather, because they are of the same race, cultivators give them extra care. Apart from that, they have no other value. Do you think the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance would provide them with the highest level of living under these circumstances?"

"Just one question: Why should I?"

"What's the need?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on everyone's faces; it has to be said that the senior's criticism made a lot of sense.

Yes, put yourself in their shoes. If you were a high-ranking member of the Immortal Alliance, you wouldn't do that either.

There's no other reason than that ordinary people don't have that much value; providing them with basic necessities to survive is enough.

"Senior, that's true, but in reality, the lives of ordinary people are actually quite good," someone couldn't help but retort.

"What this student said is correct, but have you ever thought that the reason why mortals are free from worries about food and clothing, and even live like ancient emperors, is not because the Immortal Alliance is generous, but because the integration of immortality and technology has brought about a huge explosion in productivity. So even the basic living conditions are that good."

"Actually, what the Immortal Alliance provides is not worth mentioning at all."

"For example, on the surface, ordinary people can enjoy all kinds of food, not only in terms of variety but also in terms of flavor. But in reality, these delicious and colorful foods are just cheap synthetic foods. Intelligent robots can mass-produce them in factories with just the press of a button. They are not worth anything at all."

"Compared to truly high-end delicacies, spiritual foods that only cultivators can enjoy, not to mention other benefits, the taste alone is not even in the same league."

"If you have tasted spiritual food, and then eat the food that was previously provided to mortals, you will find it to be similar to animal feed."
