Chapter 14 New Questions
Ye Kongqing had refined two gadgets for his livelihood before, but that could only be regarded as the application of the five elements in the Five Elements Divine Arts, and it cannot be said to be a real weapon refining.
No matter which one is a real weapon refining or alchemy, it is a money-burning business. Ye Kongqing is not as magical as Yu Atractylodes who can attract spirits by relying on spiritual power and can learn without a teacher. Therefore, it can be said that half of Ye Kongqing's profound attainments in these two skills is because of Yu Atractylodes' good teaching, and the other half is entirely based on practicing various materials and spending money.
In addition to cultivating one's own mind and mind, the most important thing is the four words, the wealth and law.
The earth refers to the temple of practice. Ye Kongqing doesn’t have to worry about this. After all, his two masters ran away from the monk but did not go to the temple, so the foundation of cultivation was left to him. Moreover, although the temple in Fulong Mountain is a bit dangerous, it is also a treasure land in general. Ye Kongqing did not go beyond thinking about the issue of finding another temple for a while.
Dharma refers to the magic tricks of practice. Since the establishment of a new cultivation system, spiritual rain has arrived in the world. Those who can enter this path have spiritual roots and wonderful methods, but it is the least worrying thing among the wealthy law land.
A couple refers to a fellow practitioner. This couple does not mean that men and women must be in a narrow sense to become a Taoist couple. Instead, as long as fellow practitioners who are like-minded and seeking the great way can also become fellow practitioners. It is also considered to be a fellow practitioner in the word "couple". There is a record in the Book of Rites: "If you study alone but have no friends, you will be ignorant." This shows the importance of practicing a partner on the road of practice.
The one that ranks first among the four words "Finance and Fadi" is the word "Finance".
There has been a saying in the secular world since ancient times that "poverty literature and wealth" are rich and powerful. This is true in the world of cultivators. The ancients said that without wealth is not enough to nourish the Tao, so that's what they said.
Ye Kongqing wanted to rely on alchemy and weapons to improve his combat power in a short period of time, but he had to use a large amount of materials to pile them up. And where did these materials come from? Naturally, he had to spend money to buy them.
As I have said before, in the Dharma-Ending Age, the spiritual energy in the secular world has withered, and there are basically few spiritual objects that are needed for refining alchemy and weaponry, and even spiritual objects that are needed for cultivation. Even if you gain something, it depends entirely on fate. The uncertainty is too great, so you basically don’t need to rely on it.
But if you go to the market chamber in the secret realm to purchase, the currency you use is not the money paper tickets in the secular world, but the spirit stones containing spiritual energy!
Spirit stones are the product of spiritual energy condensation in the secret realm. They are extremely pure and can assist in practice to a great extent and improve the speed of practice. They mostly appear in the form of ore veins. Even the thinnest spirit stone veins have countless forces who want to include them in their pockets. The several known ore veins are controlled by major top forces. Using spirit stones as the common currency in the world of cultivators is also the result of the negotiation and operation of these top forces.
And one thing is also very important, the circulation of spirit stones in the secular world is strictly controlled. This makes it perfect if you want to exchange spirit stones for money in the secular world, but on the other hand, it is basically impossible to exchange spirit stones for money in the secular world. Even if you can find a few pieces in some secular black markets, there is a market that is priceless, and it is not affordable for Ye Kongqing's current financial situation.
What's more, the spirit stones flowing out on the black market are because the spiritual energy in the spirit stone has some nourishing effect on the human body. Wearing it for a long time can make you clear your eyes and strengthen your body. It can be regarded as the simple and simple version of the pair of double dragon jade buckles sold by Ye Kongqing to Jubai. To put it bluntly, it is purely used to fool those rich people, so there is no need for Ye Kongqing to join in the fun.
However, when his two masters were still there, he didn't have to worry about this issue, so he didn't have any reserves of spirit stones. But since Ye Kongqing was not going to get money to exchange for spirit stones, he had to think about the source of the spirit objects he needed to refine alchemy and weapon.
This time he was still not going to use the private storage of Atractylodes. One was because he mentioned before that those things were the master's treasures after all, and he really didn't dare to move around for no special reason, and the other was because there was indeed no need for this.
The master’s private possessions are rare goods. If he uses them all now, it would be a waste of resources.
After racking his brains and calculating with his fingers, Ye Kongqing couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Spirit stones are divided into four top-middle-lower-lower-lower-higher-grade. If they follow his plan and all the materials are bought with spirit stones, the number of spirit stones needed will be larger. Even if they are replaced with top-grade spirit stones, it will take three or four pieces. Thinking about the two million in my passbook, I haven’t been warmed up yet. I just felt the feeling of a rich man, and it seemed like I was back before liberation...
Jubai has been in a very bad mood in the past two days. He couldn't understand why Cassia sect is just a small local sect, so how could it be targeted by the giants in the capital? Cassia Maritime Transportation Group is the foundation of Cassia sect's secular life, how can it be easily with others? What did that woman think? She dared to take over the group without paying any price!
With a lot of anger, Jubai drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp. Perhaps he rarely drank, so he whipped twice, and his cheeks turned red.
As a veteran local snake of Tianjin Wei, Cassin Sect has always had some records of cultivators who come and go to Tianjin Wei. The woman in Jubai's mouth came to Tianjin Wei a few days ago.
According to records from disciples of the Cassinian Sect, this woman is not very old and should be of the same age as Jubai, and her cultivation is around the Jiaye realm. Although she is considered a rare master among the younger generation, she is not considered anything in the eyes of the older generation.
However, it is worth noting that there were two men and two women coming with this woman, a total of four. Depending on the situation, it should be the woman's entourage.
Among these four people, two men looked like middle-aged people, and among the two women there was an old woman and a young girl who was about her prime. However, each of these four people actually had at least the cultivation level of the Taoist fruit realm. It can be said that any one of them was much stronger than the orange-white Taoist protector Luo Yuanzhi that Ye Kongqing had seen before.
You should know that Luo Yuanzhi's position in the Cassia sect is an elder of law enforcement and an old strong man in the Cassia sect. Now, such a group of people emerged from somewhere, with unknown origin and unknown purpose, and even the cultivation of several servants is higher than that of his sect elder. Although there is no need to worry about the cultivation of that woman, the four strong men around her have to be more careful.
However, what no one expected from hundreds of people in the Cassia sect to do was that the actions of the five people in this line of work were not suspicious. Instead, a few days later, they opened up the mountain gate of the Cassia sect in the secular world, namely the Cassia Shipping Group, which was appointed as the deputy general manager of Jubai.
