"Good! Then I won't stand on ceremony with you all!"

Jiang Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "I hope everyone can contribute their family's cultivation techniques. Of course, you can keep your Soul Martial Arts and Ancient Martial Arts, but all other cultivation techniques should be handed over to the Flame Dragon Group."

The group was stunned for a moment but did not directly express any objections. Instead, they continued to listen.

Seeing that no one opposed directly, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as this was the most difficult part.

The cultivation techniques of each family are family treasures. Asking them to give them up would definitely offend everyone. If it wasn't Jiang Chen saying this, even if it were Dragon Saint, people would have walked out in a huff!

"Thank you all for your trust!"

Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude and explained, "I want everyone to bring out their cultivation techniques so that, with the universal martial arts initiative, more people can practice martial arts. You should all understand clearly that although it is said to be universal martial arts, not everyone is suited to practice. Many people without aptitude cannot practice martial arts! The more varied the cultivation techniques, the more people can practice them!"

"That's one aspect. Secondly, once the Flame Dragon Group collects the cultivation techniques, they can be handed to me. I will help improve them, and then I'll produce and distribute two copies: one improved copy will be returned to the contributing family or faction, and another copy will go back to the Flame Dragon Group."

"That sounds feasible!"

"Mr. Jiang's improved cultivation techniques are absolutely powerful!"

"We'll contribute!"

"We will also hand ours over!"

"Count us in as well!"

As Jiang Chen mentioned his assistance in improving the cultivation techniques, many factions eagerly voiced their support. Everyone knew Jiang Chen's capability, as he had transformed ordinary techniques into extraordinary ones on more than one occasion!

"The third point is that with cultivation techniques comes the need for resources to practice them. I am aware that many major factions are searching for Pill Masters, and the most skilled ones are with me."

Seeing the enthusiasm from the crowd, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued, "Everyone provides the medicinal herbs, and I will ask them to refine elixirs. Then, I will distribute the elixirs according to the amount of herbs provided by each faction. Of course, it's impossible to give you the exact same amount of elixirs as the herbs you supply. Instead, you'll receive them proportionally!"

"Good!"

"Even better!"

"As long as it's proportionally distributed, a scale of twenty to one would be excellent!"

The representatives of various factions brightened up, and established powers like Pu Liang had already started calculating how many elixirs they could acquire!

"Not as extreme as twenty to one."

Jiang Chen smiled gently: "I can tell you openly that the ratio will be ten to one. That is, for every ten elixirs refined from your herbs, you will receive one. I will keep twenty percent, and the rest will be temporarily stored until it's necessary for the Flame Dragon Group to utilize."

"For the Flame Dragon Group!?"

The group was momentarily taken aback and surprisingly spoke out.

Jiang Chen turned to Dragon Saint and solemnly said, "The elixirs for the Flame Dragon Group require you to provide the herbs in exchange. The seventy percent elixirs aren't meant for your Flame Dragon Group members to consume!"

"I understand, it's for the universal martial arts preparation!" Dragon Saint nodded.

"I received information that the initial rift was just a beam of light. But now, it has turned into a band of light. Upon careful examination, it has the tendency to transform into a true pathway."

Jiang Chen nodded heavily, glanced at Li Yuan, and said solemnly, "Once that road is successfully transformed, it is likely to form a passage linking the Void Nether Realm and our Yuan Star. When the passage is formed, it is highly likely that it will be the moment of a large-scale invasion from the Void Nether Realm."

Speaking with a heavy tone, Jiang Chen continued, "Therefore, we need to use elixirs to motivate everyone to improve their strength. Of course, the elixirs won't be easily handed to them. They will have to exchange herbs or battle results for them. We will discuss this in detail later."

Everyone nodded slightly, acknowledging that this indeed needed detailed structuring. If it's not fair, the various factions will not agree.

"Afterward, there's the issue of teaching martial techniques. This is something the Flame Dragon Group and I will jointly be responsible for, but it also requires the full support of everyone. Any who are willing to act as instructors will receive a certain number of elixirs as compensation, according to the rules."

Jiang Chen smiled gently as he introduced another key issue.

"Agreed!"

"No problem at all!"

"Of course, we can. Moreover, through teaching, we can better understand our own cultivation techniques!"

"Teaching not only helps us understand our own cultivation techniques but also allows learning from others in such an environment. It's a good thing!"

The crowd responded enthusiastically.

Jiang Chen exchanged a glance with Dragon Saint, smiling knowingly.

Dragon Saint was filled with emotion; if it weren't for Jiang Chen, today's discussion would have ended with the first issue. No faction would be willing to offer their cultivation techniques, but because of Jiang Chen's usual conduct and his influence, he actually managed to achieve this!

As expected of the Dragon Descendant!

While Dragon Saint marveled, the Pope was also feeling emotional, though his eyes reflected a hint of struggle.

"Mr. Jiang!"

The Pope's gaze suddenly turned firm as he solemnly looked towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and softly asked, "Pope, what's the matter?"

"I wish to request Mr. Jiang to implement these measures within the Holy Court as well. The issues of herbs, instructors, and so on we will handle, but..." The Pope hesitated briefly, eyes showing a hint of expectation.

"Pope, if I didn't want you to be involved, do you think I would have kept you here until today?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, understanding the Pope's unfinished words: "The Holy Court is the same as them. I have never considered the Holy Court as separate. People from the Holy Court can come to the Flame Dragon for education. If needed, I can send people to the Holy Court to provide training. This is not an issue, but..."

Pausing, Jiang Chen said seriously, "Pope, I have a condition that I need you to agree to!"

"Speak!"

The Pope's expression became serious as he solemnly replied.

"Everyone knows that the model I'm talking about is essentially to establish a school specifically for martial arts education. Of course, whether this is just for martial arts or combines cultural subjects will require further discussion," whispered Jiang Chen.

He continued solemnly, "But considering it is a school, it shouldn't belong to any particular faction. Nor should it be said that the schools you establish belong to the Holy Court, the ones we establish belong to the Flame Dragon Group, or belong to me. The name of the school must be unified and must not include the name of any faction."

"Mr. Jiang, I understand your point and agree," the Pope nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Then it's settled."

"Oh, by the way."

As if remembering something, Jiang Chen added, "I have already discussed with the seniors from Elixir Valley about specially establishing an Elixir Refining Academy, with Elder Yao serving as the dean."
