Although they have gained a lot in these two months, especially the treasures Cheng Yu gave them, it can be said that they have received more resources than other places combined.
But even so, these resources are not enough to change an aristocratic family.
If it were so simple, wouldn't it be possible for Cheng Yu to easily build one of the nine aristocratic families with so many resources?
Therefore, it is almost impossible for the two of them to rely on those few resources to change their family's status among the nine major families.
"It is indeed impossible to change the entire family with these resources. However, if we only need to change a few people, I think it should be possible!" Dongfang Feibai thought for a while and said.
He also understands the truth, but he has already tried hard. You can't change a family, but you can change a few people.
At least in the next nine races competition, their results will not be so bad again. As long as one person from their family can enter the top three.
And in this way, he can be regarded as making a huge contribution to his family.
After all, they had tried their best. If Cheng Yu hadn't been on this trip to the Dead Realm, they wouldn't have been able to do this, so he should be satisfied with the result.
"Well, if you just want to train a few people, it really shouldn't be a big problem!" Cheng Yu nodded and said.
It is obviously impossible to change the status of an aristocratic family among the nine major aristocratic families, but using these resources to cultivate a few geniuses in the aristocratic family, as long as they stand out in the nine-family competition, it will be considered a good result.
"Anyway, it's all thanks to Brother Cheng. Otherwise, not to mention the few talents trained for our family, even our own lives might have been left here!" Dongfang Feibai said with a smile.
He has figured out that it doesn't matter whether he can enter the cave behind him or not.
The important thing is that after this incident, he and Cheng Yu have become life and death friends. They have established a deep friendship, so there is nothing to regret.
Although it only lasted two months, he had a completely new understanding of Cheng Yu's strength. Associating with such people, he has more expectations for his future, and even things that he didn't dare to think about before are now starting to boil in his heart.
However, he would not tell Cheng Yu these things. When the time is right, he will have a good talk with Cheng Yu.
"Actually, as long as all the members of other aristocratic families are wiped out this time, it will be a major victory for our Chen family and the Dongfang family. As for the competition between the nine clans five hundred years later, it will not be that easy.
Established families like the Situ Family and the Ji Family have deep foundations. Even if the whole army is wiped out during this trip to the Dead Realm, it may not have any impact on them.
Cultivating a few talents is not a big problem.
In fact, the most important thing is to have talented seedlings. Without such seedlings, it will be difficult to build them up even with more resources. Even if they are forcibly piled up, such a genius is destined to not go far!
Therefore, resources are only part of the transformation of a family, and talents are the top priority! "Chen Hongyuan said.
Why are these aristocratic families becoming less and less popular? In fact, a large part of the reason is because there are too few talents.
Just like the Chen family, it is very difficult for a Mahayana period to appear within five hundred years. How can they fight against these powerful families?
If it weren't for him getting to know Cheng Yu, he might not even have the chance to participate in the Nine Tribes Competition.
But for the Ji family and the Situ family, this is not a difficult problem. He even doubted whether all the people from his family who were qualified to participate in the nine-tribe competition showed up.
Maybe they have hidden many talents, and sometimes being too high-profile may not be a good thing.
If a family is powerful enough to overwhelm most of the families, it means that this family poses a great threat to all the families.
In this case, they can easily become the opposite of all aristocratic families.
Presumably neither the Ji family nor the Situ family want to become the enemies of the other eight aristocratic families, so they can properly show their strength in the Nine Clans Competition without affecting their status among the nine aristocratic families, so they can hide some of their strength. It is also very possible.
However, for lower-ranked families like the Chen family and the Dongfang family, they are eager to let other families see all the power they can show, which will also help improve their own family's status.
Therefore, in the competition between the nine clans, the weaker the family, the more reliable their performance is. As for the few aristocratic families in the front, who knows if they have hidden strength?
For them, it seems to be extremely simple to cultivate a few particularly powerful geniuses.
If they want to change the status of the Chen family and the Dongfang family among the nine major families now, it will definitely be very difficult. If we can find some good seedlings, we can use the best resources to cultivate them in these five hundred years.
As long as they can get into the top three in the Nine Clans Competition five hundred years later, this will be their family's greatest success.
Although this does not necessarily mean that the strength of their family has reached the top three, it at least makes other families dare not underestimate their family, and also reflects that the value of their family is not that low.
Otherwise, if it continues to remain unknown like this, I am afraid that several other aristocratic families will no longer take these families seriously.
Especially the Dongfang Family, it can be said that it is the weakest among the nine major families.
The Chen family was pretty good this time, although only Chen Hongyuan made it to the end and missed out on third place. But he is still ranked fourth, and other aristocratic families have also seen that the Chen family still has some talents, which is enough to make those aristocratic families dare not look down on the Chen family. This is influence.
Therefore, their current goal is not to make the Chen family or the Dongfang family become very powerful. It is even impossible for these two families to be on par with the Ji family or the Situ family in five hundred years.
"Brother Hongyuan is right. No matter how difficult it is to obtain resources, if you want them, you will always find a solution. But talents cannot be found just by looking for them.
If you two aristocratic families want to rise among the nine major aristocratic families, the most important thing is talent. In fact, there are still many talents to be found within the jurisdiction of your family. As long as you have talents, I believe it won't be a big deal for your family to cultivate a few geniuses! "Cheng Yu agreed very much with Chen Hongyuan's words.
The problem of cultivating immortals cannot be solved by resources. If you don't have enough qualifications, even if all the resources of a noble family are used on him, it will not make any sense.
Therefore, as long as such seedlings are found, no matter how weak the Chen family and the Dongfang family are, it will not be difficult to cultivate a few talents.
"That's good, but how difficult is it to find talented seedlings? I wonder if brother Cheng has any good methods that can help us find some good seedlings quickly?" Chen Hongyuan looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile.
Cheng Yu's ability was indeed amazing, especially when he saw that Cheng Yu agreed with his idea, he felt that Cheng Yu might have a better way to find talents.
No contestant in the Nine Clans Competition can be over five hundred years old. For ordinary people, five hundred years may be a very long time.
But for monks like them, it's nothing. It is not that simple to reach the Mahayana stage before the age of 500.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for just a few members of the Chen family to participate in the competition, which shows that this requirement is not simple.
And now the competition between the nine races has just ended two or three months ago, which means that the seedlings they are looking for now are just about the time to be born.
But it is difficult for them to judge the talent of a newborn child.
Besides, although each of their aristocratic families has a wide jurisdiction, it is impossible for them to bring all the newly born children in the jurisdiction back to the aristocratic family.
This will not only mean that they cannot take care of it, but it will also definitely arouse the anger of the people.
For them, although these people are just mortals, in fact, if their family wants to replenish fresh blood, it will ultimately have to choose from these ordinary people.
Of course, there will naturally be some immortal cultivating families within their jurisdiction. However, if we only rely on these immortal cultivating families, it will be difficult to meet the requirements of their aristocratic families.
Moreover, many geniuses do not necessarily come from these immortal cultivating families. Ordinary people may also give birth to geniuses suitable for cultivating immortals.
Therefore, the greater the population within the jurisdiction, the most beneficial to the development of their family.
This can be seen from the Ji family and the Situ family, because the area under their jurisdiction has the largest population among the nine major families.
This also means they can pick the most talent.
The population in the area under the jurisdiction of the Chen family is not the smallest, but it is not too large either. It can only be said that it is quite appropriate.
It's just that the talents they have absorbed from the secular world in recent years are all average, and there is nothing particularly outstanding.
Of course, this does not rule out that they have left out many outstanding talents.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Cheng Yu to see if he had a better way to select the seedlings in the area more conveniently and quickly. This would be a huge contribution to the Chen family.
"It's not difficult to select people who are suitable for cultivating immortals, but according to your point of view, you want to select true geniuses. It is difficult to have a definite answer to this.
There are two types of geniuses. One is innate and can be selected from the beginning, but this type is also the rarest.
The other kind is acquired. As long as his qualifications are not too bad, even if he is not talented, he may become a genius with acquired hard work.
Moreover, such geniuses are a common phenomenon in the world of cultivation.
More importantly, there are too many factors that determine whether a person can become a genius. So you say it’s almost impossible to pick out geniuses quickly. Because geniuses are not chosen casually! Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
