Cultivation Academy: No Clowns Allowed

(No harem, no System. Read with caution if that bothers you.)

You ask whether there are still cultivation academies in the twenty-first century. Yes, there are. Our cultivation should be orthodox, standardized, and formulaic, able to help more cultivators born with spiritual aptitude improve, and even partner with renowned universities overseas.

To keep up with the times, we now call everyone who isn't a cultivator a Mahua. You ask what we used to call them? Of course, mortals!
