Chapter 183 Immortal City
The hotel's permanent patrol is called Lu Renjia. After taking Link's gold, he became familiar with Link. Of course, this is one of the reasons why Link took out gold and silver every day to bribe Lu Renjia for three meals a day.
Lu Renjia drank three glasses at the table and started saying everything. Instead, Link got a lot of information.
Lu Renjia was drunk: "You casual cultivators like you can't make it in the territory of our Xuantian Sect. You can't make it even in the territory of the major sect. Not only is outsiders not welcome here in Xiongcheng, but the territory of the major sects is the same."
Link: "What is a casual cultivator?"
Lu Renjia: "Do you have a sect?"
"It's really not." Link said this truthfully.
"Isn't that the wandering cultivator. Many disciples of our sect will never leave the territory controlled by the sect in their entire lives. Only when the wandering cultivator returns to the territory of other families, they are annoying. Do you understand?"
"I really don't understand this." According to Link's idea, it's a good thing for a tourist to develop the tertiary industry.
"They are not afraid that you are a casual cultivator. Although some casual cultivators are not good people, they still have a bottom line in doing things. They are afraid that you are a demon cultivator."
"Demon cultivator, what is a demon cultivator?"
"Have your master told you?"
"No, my master just passed by our village. After drinking too much, he taught me both ways and left the next day."
"So, the casual cultivator is a casual cultivator. If you are like you, you can't even be a registered disciple. Forget it, let me tell you, the demon cultivator wants to harm people. Even those who harm people are considered demon cultivators. Of course, we cultivators fight with heaven, earth, and human. There are many things to fight with monks to seize treasures, but in essence this is considered a struggle, not harming people."
"How could the demon cultivator harm people?"
"I think about it." Lu Renjia thought drunk for a while and said, "In the past, there was a big demon who practiced the ancient swallowing Tao. Speaking of this swallowing Tao, it is also one of the three thousand great ways. To be honest, there is nothing right or wrong, good or evil, but after this big demon entered a certain realm, he soon began to swallow people. In fact, they were all hostile monks, one by one. After he swallowed those hostile monks, the cultivation level that those monks cultivated throughout their lives was swallowed and turned into a part of the devil's cultivation level.
Of course, if you are that devil, you may think it’s nothing. Anyway, killing the enemy and swallowing the enemy will kill the opponent. Swallowing it can also replenish yourself, so it’s natural. But from a third party’s perspective, it’s wrong for people to swallow people.”
Link nodded: "It's really disgusting to think about it. As far as I know, people will have incontinence before they die, so they will swallow it. Thinking about it is enough to have a heavy mouth."
Lu Renjia continued, "The devil who swallowed people is pretty good, and those who practice blood-original magic will be even more unbearable. When our disciples from famous and upright sects saw these demon cultivators, they only had one word and killed them. Since ancient times, this is the reason why good and evil have not yet matched each other."
Link knew: "By the way, Brother Lu, if I am a casual cultivator like me is not easy to get involved in the territory of the major sect, where is the better place to go? I hope Brother Lu will give you a clear path."
Lu Renjia: "Of course I'm going to the Immortal City. Are you a casual cultivator? Where can I go if I don't go to the Immortal City?"
Link: "Where is this fairy city? Why do casual cultivators want to go to the fairy city?"
Lu Renjia: "The Immortal City is a place where casual cultivators gather together to keep warm. The step we cultivators want to take the most is to become immortals. Therefore, the city where monks gather is called the Immortal City. Some fairy cities are controlled by sects, and some fairy cities are established by casual cultivators, but they are welcome to free cultivators. However, in this fairy city, gold and silver things are useless."
Link: "I have heard of spirit stones, but I have never seen them. Could it be that all the immortal city uses spirit stones?"
Lu Renjia: "Yes, in the fairy city, it must be made of spirit stones. Gold and silver things, which are useful to us mortals. If the level is slightly higher, it will not be used."
Link: "I think Brother Lu has also practiced. How can he be said to be a mortal?"
Lu Renjia: "We who are arranged to work in various cities are all removed from the outer sects. When I was a child, when I first entered the outer sect, I also thought of practicing to become a true immortal in one go. But the reality is cruel. I think I am a genius child in our village, but when I arrived at the outer sect of Xuantian Sect, every disciple who came here is a genius child selected from various places. If you can't stand out from the inside, you will be removed from the outer sect at the time. When you are a deacon outside, you will be like this for your whole life. In fact, I like gold and silver, and I just saved it for my descendants. Let them live better than me, and if you can enter the sect in the future, you will save money."
Link: "That's it, I'll go to the fairy city. But if you want to give me some advice on where the fairy city is nearest."
Lu Renjia: "The news is charged. And the price is not low. You must be mentally prepared."
Link: "I still have a lot of gold and silver things on my hands."
Lu Renjia: "One thousand taels of silver."
Link: "No problem."
Lu Renjia: "I went to the southeast for ten thousand miles, and there was a Red Lotus Fairy City. The Red Lotus Fairy City was controlled by casual cultivators and did not exclude outsiders from coming. It was the closest fairy city to this place."
The next day, after Lu Renjia sobered up, he never saw Link again, but he still found one thousand taels of silver from Link's room. The value of this thousand taels of silver was 100 taels of gold. He could exchange one first-level spirit stone on the black market. In short, he had already earned two first-level spirit stones from this casual cultivator, not including the consumption of eating and drinking for the past three days.
For 150,000 miles, the flying monsters also have to fly for dozens of days. Moreover, it is not peaceful along the way and is often chased by monsters in the air. Moreover, on the territory of the sect, random cultivators cannot hunt monsters. These monsters in the wild are like those raised by the sect. Anyway, if you kill them, you will cause endless trouble.
There are wandering cultivators in this world, because there are people, there will be wars. For example, two sects grab territory, and the mountain gate of the failed sect is snatched away by others, and the disciples of this sect become rootless duckweed and have to be wandering cultivators. There are also some monks who are not satisfied with the sect or have made big mistakes and rebel to go out to be wandering cultivators.
In order to pass on the inheritance, these casual cultivators will also have disciples, and these disciples of these casual cultivators are naturally also casual cultivators.
In the theory of this world, everyone can cultivate immortality, but the key to cultivating immortality is the wealthy land. If you are a casual cultivator, you will not have much wealth. The couple refers to the master, brother and friend, etc., and this can still be found. There is no need to mention the Dharma. The casual cultivator recruits disciples to pass on the magic and the principles of being a human being. The land refers to the spiritual land. The land without spiritual veins can only be considered a wasteland. However, better spiritual veins are either occupied by major sects or by powerful monsters.
Those who are casual cultivators have to retreat and secondly, find some not so good spiritual veins as mountain gates. If the major sects look down on them, there is no big risk. Generally, casual cultivators have similar strengths. As a defensive party, they can also use spiritual veins to set up formations to defend against the enemy, which is very advantageous.
However, those who are casual cultivators also need various resources. It doesn’t matter if the sects occupy a high level of spiritual veins and there are enough monsters on the territory. Moreover, the sects do not need to give all the disciples resources, they only need to give enough resources to those elite disciples who stand out. Anyway, the sect has a large population base and there are enough geniuses to cultivate immortals.
Because there was only a rough direction, Link, who had flew a lot of detours, came to Honglian Xiancheng on the 50th day after leaving Bear City.
The scope of the Red Lotus Immortal City is extremely large. The scope of the inner city alone includes the Honglian Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. The best spiritual vein in the Honglian Mountains is the fourth-level top-grade spiritual vein. According to the teachings of the monks here, the fourth-level top-grade spiritual vein is enough for monks to make pills. Therefore, the highest level of cultivator in the Red Lotus Immortal City is the Golden Pill Stage.
According to Link's analysis, this Golden Pill stage is approximately equivalent to his legendary level. The Golden Pill has had Qi training and foundation building before, and the foundation building period of the magic cultivation is almost equivalent to a magician. The foundation building period of the physical cultivation is equivalent to a warrior in the holy realm.
What is similar to my own is that every level of the realm can greatly extend its life. Although this immortal city is called an immortal city, it is impossible for anyone to cultivate to the realm of true immortality, and first of all, the spiritual veins do not support it.
However, it is not completely impossible for those who are casual cultivators. If there is no big evil after the casual cultivator advances to the Golden Pill stage, you can find a major sect to serve as a worshiper, so that you can get better spiritual veins and higher-level practices. However, not every casual cultivator's golden elixir has such an opportunity. The review of major sects is also very strict.
Although the Red Lotus Fairy City claims to require spiritual stones everywhere, it is actually in the inner city, and the outer city is a mixture of monks and mortals. In the outer city of the Red Lotus Fairy City, gold and silver can still be used. Because the outer city of the Red Lotus Fairy City originally accommodates the families of casual cultivators. After all, although everyone can cultivate immortals, it is just theoretically because there are not enough spiritual stones and various resources, and even geniuses cannot cultivate immortals.
The major sects cannot provide enough resources to all sect disciples, let alone casual cultivators.
Within the scope of the sect, a first-level spirit stone is worth hundreds of taels of gold or thousands of taels of silver. When it comes to the outer city of Honglian Xiancheng, the price of a first-level spirit stone is even higher, at least 1,300 to 1,500 taels of silver before it can be exchanged for a first-level spirit stone, and it is not often available.
After Link arrived here, he spent 3,000 taels of silver to exchange for two first-level spirit stones. After receiving the spirit stone, Link easily felt that the energy contained in it was very similar to the magic crystal in his hand, but the energy in a first-level spirit stone was far less than the energy in the magic crystal.
However, there are also high-level spirit stones of second-level spirit stones above the first-level spirit stones, but one second-level spirit stone can be exchanged for more than one hundred first-level spirit stones. Gold and silver objects can no longer be exchanged for second-level spirit stones. Only higher-level resources can be exchanged for higher-level spirit stones.
Two first-level spirit stones are actually just to open your eyes. They are not of great use. If you go to the inner city of Honglian Fairy City once, the two first-level spirit stones will be gone - one is the cost of entering the city and the other is the cost of leaving the city.
In the inner city of Honglian Fairy City, consumption, food, clothing, housing and use, we need spiritual stones. We are indeed welcome to outside cultivators here, but we are just welcome to come here to spend.
There are many kinds of magical methods for cultivating immortals in the Red Lotus Immortal City. Basically, there are magical methods for selling in every street stall in the outer city, but the highest is to let people practice until the Golden Pill stage. For Link, spending a lot of spiritual stones and buying magical methods that can only be referenced seems too luxurious.
As for those recruiting workers, most of them need the so-called Six Arts of the Immortal Sect to support them. For example, those who draw talismans, refine alchemy, and practice tools, Link does not know such skills. Instead, he also recruits miners. Among the resources for cultivating immortals, various magic weapons and flying swords require spiritual ores to be dug out, refining spiritual ores, and finally making magic weapons and flying swords. In theory, it is enough to have strength, but in fact, the underside of the mine is very dangerous, and various underground monsters will also attack miners, and cultivators with high cultivation obviously will not go to mine.
The most high-mortgage occupation in various places is miners. Moreover, in the face of high mortality rates, miners' income is not particularly high. Doing a mine owner may be a good business, but Link, who is a newcomer here, has no mine at home.
After living in the outer city of Honglian Immortal City for ten days and analyzing various data, Link also analyzed various resources of his own. First of all, he was himself. At least he was equivalent to a physical cultivation in the Golden Elixir stage or even a physical cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage. He just didn't know if the god-level core in his body was considered a natural and Nascent Soul or something similar.
There are few physical cultivation in this world because physical cultivation requires more resources. At the same time, physical cultivation needs to suffer more along the way.
The general direction of the world now is that there are too many people and few resources, which naturally leads to the phenomenon of more practice of Dharma but less practice of physical practice.
In the Golden Elixir Stage, even if it is physical cultivation, it is considered half a strong person in this world, at least near the Red Lotus Fairy City. However, it is certain that I am very poor. It can be said that I am the poorest monk in this realm. Of course, the reason is that I am an outsider. This is normal.
If you have a good physique, mining is definitely a good master, but mining is absolutely impossible to mine, and you will never be able to mine in your entire life. It is enough to think about the dark days every day.
I don’t know any other professions that require technology, but there is one profession that is very suitable for me. Of course, it is not about being a robber, but about hunting monsters.
The Honglian Fairy City is not as large as other major sects, and it does not have the ability to keep a large number of monsters for the disciples to practice. However, the east of the Honglian Fairy City is facing the sea. It can be said that the monsters in the sea are endless as long as they want to kill them. The area of the ocean here is far greater than the area of the mainland land.
Some casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage hunt some first-level monsters near the coast. Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage Golden Elixir Stage will choose to hunt monsters with higher levels on islands farther from land.
