Chapter 464: Chapter 297: This World Is Quite Interesting
This World Is Quite Interesting
This led to the Water Spirit Qi inside becoming even more dense, and along with Spiritual Fertilizer, made the Spirit Valley reach the First Realm.
However, due to the sparse Spiritual Qi in the environment, relying on the Spirit Gathering Array, it takes five years to grow one harvest; otherwise, the Spiritual Qi would be insufficient, and the Spirit Rice would not reach the First Realm, resulting in a much lower price.
Zhao Wushuang’s task involves hundreds of acres of Spirit Field, even if resting and gathering spirit for five years to plant one crop keeps him very busy.
Moreover, he must guarantee quality and quantity, or else his stipend will be reduced.
Even so, aside from housing and Spirit Rice, his monthly pay is only ten Spirit Stones.
Saving one hundred and twenty a year, one thousand two hundred in ten years, desiring to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill costing about fifty thousand Spirit Stones is beyond difficult.
This made Small Knife understand why a Dual Spirit Roots practitioner reached the age to achieve Qi Cultivation Great Perfection only now.
Returning to the residence, Zhao Wushuang, unable to break through, began inscribing Runes.
Solid Rune.
This can be learned for free.
For example, the Spirit Gathering Talisman, Solid Rune, Spirit Rice cultivation, Fasting Pill, and so on.
These are all free in this world.
The Spirit Gathering Talisman represents Talisman basics, the Solid Rune represents Artifact Refining, Spirit Rice cultivation is naturally for the Spirit Plant Master, and the Fasting Pill, naturally for the Alchemist.
Any skill, if you can reach Great Perfection before age sixty, allows you to join the relevant Sect unconditionally.
This is the hope for a normal Loose Cultivator to rise.
With ability, this world has opportunities.
Zhao Wushuang chose at age twelve, beginning to study the Solid Rune, working hard.
Now nearly a hundred, he’s only at Perfection, always unable to find the chance for Great Perfection.
Even so, the perfected Solid Rune can inscribe on any material, wood, stone, etc., to manufacture Basic Talismans.
Of course, these are the kind used daily, with no potential for enhancement.
Even so, this skill made him stronger than others currently mixed into the Zhao Family.
Although there’s no chance to join a Cultivation Sect, whenever he has free time, he would manufacture some daily Talismans.
No choice, he still needs to pay off debts.
The Attack Talismans he carries and the few Spirit Talismans he has are all owed.
These are borrowed from the Zhao Family, with high interest.
This is the sorrow of a Loose Cultivator without a foundation.
However, this demon-slaying task earned him a thousand Spirit Stones, which made him quite happy.
A few days later, Small Knife became more curious about this world.
How did it develop like this?
This Li Family, a family a thousand years old, naturally has a First Realm Spirit Vein within the town, not enough to meet all their Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ needs.
However, Zhao Family has a thousand-year foundation, a town with thirteen villages, can’t support so many cultivators. Their way to make money, there’s also Spirit Chefs.
The Zhao Family controls the Spirit Chef skill for brewing Spirit Porridge, which is their source of financial power.
The brewed Spirit Porridge retains eighty percent Spiritual Power, the Spirit Porridge Shop has opened in dozens of nearby towns, which is why the Zhao Family is thriving, with wealth pouring in.
Zhao Wushuang can drink ten bowls of Spirit Porridge free every month.
Zhao Wushuang wandered around the town, unexpectedly finding that though the town is small, it has everything, Spirit Pills, Magical Artifacts, Arrays, Spirit Grass, Spirit Seeds, a variety of stores that are surprisingly complete.
You can even order Foundation Establishment Pills; as long as you have money, you can get as many as you want.
And they are all big brands, quality guaranteed. Of course, each store is small, with only one Cultivator resident, all are Qi Cultivation Stage Small Cultivators.
Casual chat reveals that if they don’t make mistakes, even the shopkeeper status can be hereditary, but must be descendants with Spirit Roots.
With such a foundation, as long as one descendant has Two Spirit Roots, Foundation Establishment is almost certain.
It’s a pity Zhao Wushuang’s family consists only of mortals, they only draw in those with a Single Spirit Root.
With Dual Spirit Roots, unless you sell yourself, it’s hard to rise.
According to Zhao Wushuang’s knowledge, the Wu Feng Domain where he resides was only developed about two thousand years ago.
This made Small Knife very curious, how can a new domain be developed within one world?
Looking at this poor environment, largely desolate, with sparse Spiritual Qi, it clearly means it’s sparsely populated, which made him very curious.
The cultivation technology here is very advanced, with Spirit Gathering Array covering a wide area, nested arrays within arrays.
However, due to this, the external Spiritual Qi becomes even sparser, those villages, far from the town, out of the range of the Spirit Gathering Array effect, are built within the covered range of Spirit Residence Gathering Array.
Each village has a Spirit Gathering Array, can establish Spirit Fields.
Zhao Wushuang’s dream is to break free from the Zhao Family, to have a village where he can gather his family members to live within.
Even giving up the hope for Foundation Establishment would be worth it for this.
Unfortunately, this is extremely difficult, unless he can kill a Demon Cultivator, especially those undergoing the Demon Heaven trial, he can achieve this.
Unfortunately, he only encountered such an opportunity once but couldn’t achieve it.
The contracts signed during his youthful ignorance are becoming less effective as he ages.
At most, in another hundred years, it will completely lose effect, giving him his freedom.
Now he only needs ten thousand Spirit Stones to gain his freedom, and it decreases every year.
This is due to the Heavenly Dao, the world’s will.
But now he is no longer young; signing another contract would mean lifelong captivity.
Entering a family, contract, only with his Dual Spirit Roots can he obtain the precious Foundation Establishment Pill.
All the persuasion attempts have been made.
Once over a hundred, at most a hundred and twenty, Zhao Wushuang would completely lose his value.
And now, Zhao Family’s younger generation has many Spirit Root practitioners, the strongest being two practitioners with Three Spirit Roots, the rest mostly have Four Spirit Roots.
Single Spirit Roots are extremely rare, with potential for Nascent Soul, but Five Spirit Roots are even rarer.
