Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

Chapter 215 The Source of Good and Evil
"The cost of breaking through to the Lingyuan realm is about 300 to 500."

"The cost of breaking through to the Condensing Spirit Realm is about 1300 to 2500."

"The cost of breaking each level of the Condensing Spirit Realm is about 400 to 600."

The consumption of breaking through the ninth floor alone is about 5400 spirit stones.

There are some changes depending on the qualifications, but overall they are not significant.

In other words, before a monk is in the Spiritual Pill Realm, just to reach the ninth level and peak of the Condensing Spirit Realm, and to be qualified to break through to the Spiritual Pill Realm, he has to consume nearly 10,000 spiritual stones.

This does not include the purchase of weapons and armor, interpersonal communication, transportation costs (riding a flying beast or airship), maintenance of magical tools, consumption of hunting spells, and a series of common expenses.

Then if you want to continue to break through to the spiritual elixir realm, you need to prepare at least 1 to 3W of spiritual stones.

This is the necessary consumption for breaking through the realm, and does not include daily cultivation consumption.

The basic cost for cultivating a powerful person in the spiritual elixir realm, which is also the minimum cost, is 30,000 spiritual stones. If everything goes well and the steps are broken smoothly all the way.

If things don't go well, one hundred thousand won't be enough.

So qualifications are very important, followed by character and personal efforts.

Of course, the most important thing is resources. If anyone is willing to spend 300,000 spiritual stones on an ordinary person with average qualifications, then he will basically be able to reach the spiritual elixir realm.

Even if it is a pig, if you feed it spiritual stones every day, it can become a fairy pig.

But no one can be that stupid.

Because 300,000 spirit stones, if everything goes well, will be enough to train four or five ordinary Hunyuan realm monks.

Fire Scorpion Cave.

When we arrived at the entrance, we still saw groups of people and tents, which were basically the same as at the entrance of the Ice Chasm Valley.

The difference is that the tent is changed to yellow-orange-brown color, while the ice crack valley is white, blue and cyan.

Many people take a long time to find the tents at the entrance because they are so similar to the environment.

"Is there a team?"

Mu Hanchan thought in his mind, but he did not immediately strike up a conversation, nor did he post a group request message on the bulletin board.

After observing for half an hour, I finally found my ideal team and successfully joined.

The reason for this is that I don’t want to waste time.

If the teammate's cultivation level is too high, he will not be able to get a good share of the spoils. If the teammate's cultivation level is too low, the fight will be difficult, or it will consume too much time, and the cost of elixirs, talismans, etc. will increase.

In this group of people, there were two or three people on the first and second levels of the Ningling Low Realm, and not one on the third level.

Seven or eight people in the Lingyuan realm have different levels of cultivation.

In addition, Mu Hanchan is at the peak of the Condensation Realm.

"Little brother Mu, give me the map of Quzhi Fifteen in the cave."

The monk in the Ningling Realm said.

"Okay, senior."

Mu Hanchan quickly found the map and handed it over.

Unexpectedly, after reading it, the other party frowned.

The team has been formed for almost a week and has not entered the cave yet.

"It's risky for us to enter this place." After thinking for a long time, he said.

"What should I do?"

"We need a five-spirit compass."

After the other party asked the question, he immediately gave the answer quickly.

Then he asked: "Who brought it?"

"..."

"........."

"... "

"..."

No one said anything, obviously they didn't have any.

So, he said: "Then everyone pool their money to buy one. Otherwise, you may not be able to get out if you enter. The risk of getting lost in Quzhi Shiwu is very high. If you finish hunting the monsters but get lost in the cave and can't get out, then... The gain outweighs the loss.”

"But, they don't sell this at the entrance."

"Yes, there is, but it's very expensive, a thousand spiritual stones, who would buy it?"

"They are sold in Shacheng, 20,000 miles away, and they are cheap."

"Then let's go to Shacheng to buy it? Each of us can buy a medium-grade spiritual stone, which should be enough."

Mu Hanchan also produced a mid-grade spiritual stone.

So one of them was sent to buy a five-spirit compass, while the others were still waiting at the entrance of the Fire Scorpion Cave.

"Little brother Mu, how did you get here?" someone asked.

"Me? I came on a third-level flying monster."

"Third-level flying monster? Where did you come from?"

"Fifty thousand miles away."

Mu Hanchan did not explain his sect, but just vaguely said.

"Who are you traveling with?"

"one person."

"what?"

"what happened?"

Mu Hanchan asked puzzledly.

"Are you riding a third-level flying monster alone?"

"Yup."

"Let me go, you are really rich."

"How to say?"

Mu Hanchan asked again.

"You actually chartered the plane alone. We all came together to pay for it. Two groups of us jointly ordered a fifth-level flying beast, and there were more than a dozen people in each group."

"Ok."

"How many spiritual stones did you buy for this set of magic weapons?" the other party asked again.

"More than a hundred yuan."

"Inferior quality?"

Mu Hanchan glanced at the other person and asked, "Is it possible that it's still middle grade?"

"Okay, okay, I haven't collected a set of high-grade magic weapon sets and armors yet? When I was at your level, all I wore were tattered, mid-grade mixed equipment from three or four hands. .

And I still mix it up. "

The other party said.

"But you have a top-grade magic weapon! Why didn't you say this? This top-grade magic weapon alone is worth thousands."

Mu Hanchan looked at the monk in front of him who was in the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Realm and said.

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the other party.

The weapons and armor of the top-grade magic weapon are a simple five-piece set, two high-grade magic weapons, two medium-high-grade magic weapons, and one medium-grade magic weapon.

The two high-grade magical instruments are heavy armor, one is black gold and the other is granite.

The two medium and high-grade magic weapons are leather armors, one of which is deer skin and the other is leopard skin.

The last medium-grade magic weapon is cloth armor, but the production process is the most complicated. It contains linen, light cotton, male lion hair, Nanheng silk, mixed with blue magpie feathers, and swamp brown eel skin, made of white spider silk. Link.

Mu Hanchan noticed at a glance that this middle-grade magic weapon was unusual.

Because there are too many materials used, only cloth materials account for 2/3, so the positioning is still cloth armor.

"Are your shoes a little unusual?" Mu Hanchan asked again.

"My little brother has good eyesight. I spent more than a hundred spiritual stones to buy this."

"Mid-grade magic weapon, more than a hundred spiritual stones?"

"Auctioned."

"Oh, yes."

"Ah."

Mu Hanchan did not continue to ask about the efficacy of the shoes, because that would be a bit revealing.

I thought to myself: "This person's equipment is about 1400 spiritual stones. Assuming that another 400 spiritual stones appear on his body, his net worth should be around 1800 spiritual stones."

Because there are two bracelets on his hands, which are like bracelets, with double rings of yin and yang, one for each hand, each worth about 220 spiritual stones.

They are all high-grade magical instruments, but they belong to a rather special category of jewelry.

The other party also looked at Mu Hanchan and thought to himself: "Looking at the equipment, this guy's net worth is only a few hundred, and with the spiritual stones in his pocket, it's only a thousand at most.

But this spending power far exceeds mine.

A third-level flying beast is so expensive for one person to ride on.

Based on this spending power, one must have a net worth of at least three thousand, because only in this way will one be willing to spend this money. Otherwise, it will be very painful. "

Another detail is that when pooling money to buy the Five Spirit Compass, the leader said that everyone should pool together a mid-grade spiritual stone.

Meaning: Let’s all get together a piece of spiritual stone worth the value of a middle-grade spiritual stone.

So everyone else gave him low-grade spiritual stones, but Mu Hanchan took it literally and gave him a medium-grade spiritual stone, so much so that the leading Spirit Condensing Realm monk looked at him twice.

It's like when you go shopping in the city, and when you check out, the store says ten taels of silver, but you give one tael of gold.

You can also give 10,000 copper coins. Their value is the same, but the feeling is completely different.

Two weeks passed, and the person previously appointed finally returned with the Five Spirit Compass.

The leading Condensing Spirit Realm monk said: "Everyone, get ready to go out. Take a rest and enter the cave tomorrow."

Someone asked: "Do I need to prepare some protective charms?"

"No need, everything you need is ready, including the Five Elements Talisman."

"What if we encounter people from other teams robbing us in the cave?"

"Don't be afraid of that, our strength is not weak." "What if we meet someone who is in the Ningling High Realm or a powerful person in the Spiritual Pill Realm?"

The other asked again.

"Is this your first time in the Fire Scorpion Cave?" the leader asked.

"Yes."

"In the Qu Zhi, there are monsters of different levels in different Qu Zhi. Those at the high level of Condensing Spirits will not go to the Qu Zhi Fifteen, but usually the Qu Zhi Twenty Seven and above.

As for the powerful men in the spiritual elixir realm who you said robbed you,

What a joke! "

"What's so funny?" the other party asked again.

"Even if a strong man in the spiritual elixir realm meets you, he won't look at you twice, just ignore you, and even rob you?

Can people take a fancy to the three melons and two dates in your pocket?

You think too highly of yourself. "

Another Condensing Spirit Realm monk said: "Senior Brother Li is right, the seniors in the Spiritual Pill Realm have no need to rob us, nor do they have any motive.

What we hunt is of no use to them.

Even the fourth-level demon elixir is not very useful to others. "

"Besides, you look to be in your thirties, and you have just arrived at the Spiritual Origin Realm. After practicing for so many years, how many powerful people in the Spiritual Pill Realm have you encountered?
You and others are not from the same class, or to exaggerate, from the same world.

There are no special circumstances, you can't meet anyone, and they still rob you?

Eight poles can't match the same level of cultivation. "

"Ok."

The monk who had just arrived at the Spiritual Realm said helplessly after being taught a lesson by the two seniors at the Condensing Spirit Realm.

He was the second to last in cultivation, and Mu Hanchan was the last.

The battle loss ratio for a strong man in the Spiritual Pill Realm facing the Condensing Spirit Realm and below is 100:0.

Therefore, unless he doesn't want to show off at all, he will not take action against monks in the Condensing Spirit realm and below.

Even during the war, these low-cultivation people were ignored.

Moreover, there is basically no opportunity or ground for conflicts and contradictions to break out between the two.

People who are at the high level of Condensing Spirit may still be able to quarrel with those who are at the Spiritual Pill level.

But he also expressed his views humbly.

Regardless of their combat prowess, a monk at the ninth level of the Condensing Spirit Realm can only fly at a speed close to the speed of sound, but cannot break through the sound barrier and fly at supersonic speeds.

And it’s still a short flight.

Once you reach the Lingyuan realm, you can stay in the air for a short period of time.

A strong person in the spiritual elixir realm can directly fly at supersonic speeds, and with such momentum as a rainbow, he can fly for a long, long time in one breath.

Its Dantian stores spirit like a lake.

The two are simply not on the same level in terms of speed and battery life.

The initial flying speed of the elixir is 1.3 times the speed of sound, and the acceleration can reach 1.5 times.

In the mid-term, it is 1.8 times, and the acceleration can reach 2.0 times.

In the later stage, it is 2.3 times, and the acceleration can reach 2.5 times.

The normal speed of Dzogchen is 2.8 times, and the acceleration can reach 3.0 times.

If the spiritual elixir Dzogchen monk is willing to burn his essence, he can fly at super speed.

It can reach about 3.3 times the speed of sound (Mach 3.3)

But this may affect your progress.

It's okay to use it once or twice, but if you use it too much, it will definitely affect your ability to break through Hunyuan.

Because Jingyuan is limited and must be accumulated.

In terms of combat effectiveness, if you don't need to drag the opponent with flight speed, then a single early-stage spiritual elixir can also defeat 4 peak Condensing Spirit Realm, or 5.2 ninth level Condensing Spirit Realm.

The peak of Condensing Spirit Realm is about 0.3 times stronger than the late stage of Condensing Spirit Realm.

It is worth mentioning that in the Condensing Spirit Realm, except for some small differences between the peak level of the Condensing Spirit Realm and the ninth level, there is no difference in each level.

Each level of the Condensing Spirit Realm has no front, middle or late stages, only the next level, only broken levels.

Without level-breaking, there will be no increase in ability.

If a monk in the early stage of the spiritual elixir uses his flying speed to pull a monk on the ninth level of the Condensing Spirit, and if the pull is successful, he can hit more, and it is possible to hit ten.

But the problem is that there are no fools among those who can cultivate to the high level of spirit condensation, let alone those at the ninth level and peak level.

They will not be easily pulled by each other, and will not be led by the other party.

They are only one step away from the spiritual elixir realm, either because they have not accumulated enough, or they have insufficient experience, or they lack opportunities.

The faster the flight speed, the faster the spiritual energy is consumed.

If the tug-of-war takes too long and no big advantage is gained, then the positional battle will face the embarrassing situation of insufficient spiritual power.

Therefore, four or five monks at the peak or ninth level of the Condensing Spirit Realm can still fight against the monks at the early stage of the Spiritual Pill Realm.

At least for the monks in the early stage of the Spiritual Pill Realm, it is still not easy to kill them.

But those who are strong in the Spiritual Pill Realm are really devastating blows to the monks in the Condensing Spirit Realm and below.

The damage ratio is 100:0.

Most spiritual elixir experts will take their face into consideration.

If he really doesn't care about his face and does this, then he is undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Because he is shameless, and everyone still wants shame.

The reason why the right way is the right way is because of this superficial face.

In the process of striving to reach the spiritual elixir, it is inevitable for a strong person in the spiritual elixir realm to have bumps and bumps. He or she will have more or less conflicts with many people. Even after breaking through the elixir, there are many monks of the same level who have conflicts.

These conflicts are not serious enough to require a fight to the death or even a fight to the death.

Firstly, their cultivation and strength are almost the same, and secondly, they have learned to exercise restraint.

Even if you have a deep grudge, you have to wait until your strength far exceeds that of the other party, or the opportunity is particularly suitable before you can grudge your grudge.

When you reach the spiritual elixir realm, there is basically no such thing as getting angry.

Killing mid-level and low-level monks will only bring harm to yourself, but no benefit.

They will give people an excuse to suppress and clean up in the name of righteousness.

The opponent's teacher is famous, but he is restricted in every way.

Just like the "Taixu Realm Monk Convention", Taixu Realm monks will not participate in battles below the Taixu Realm, nor will they participate in battles below the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Realm.

Those who are strong at the Spiritual Pill Realm generally do not participate in battles below the Spiritual Pill Realm or below the Condensing Spirit Realm.

Of course, if you can participate without being discovered, or be discovered without leaving any clues, that's a different matter.

Because no matter what the rules are, there will always be those who abide by them, and there will always be those who don't.

It’s just that those who break the rules need to bear the risk costs caused by breaking the rules.

The pros and cons can only be determined by the individual himself.

The world works normally because most people follow the rules.

And this rule is generally fair and relatively good, and is recognized by most people with good nature.

Except for individual extreme times and rules.

The world cannot function normally, or does not function smoothly, because a small number of people do not follow the rules.

People who don't follow the rules create obstacles.

When there are more and more people who don't follow the rules, when this group of people is greater than that group of people, when the people who don't follow the rules are greater than the people who follow the rules, the world will become sick, and it will become more and more serious, even terminally ill.

And when these people who do not abide by the rules have an advantage, they will reset the rules, set a rule that is only beneficial to themselves, and force others to abide by it.

This rule is not fair.

People who previously followed the rules became rule-breakers due to resistance or dissatisfaction with the unfair rules.

They accuse these people who previously followed the rules of now not following the rules, completely forgetting that they themselves were also rule-breakers in the past.

And what they don't abide by are the rules that were originally relatively fair and upright, and what these people don't abide by are just the rules that are completely self-serving and unfair.

But they think their rules are right, just as the people who set them before think their rules are right.

So, confrontation arose again.

Others play against their rules, just as they once played against others' rules.

When more and more opponents gain the upper hand again, the rules are changed again.

The world is also being reshuffled again.

Repeatedly, batch after batch of people were sent away, rules were changed one after another, and eras were changed one after another.

In between, good and evil also alternate with each other.

often even coexist.

Sometimes the evil ones gain the upper hand, leaving the world in chaos and devastation.

Sometimes good prevails and the world is clarified and restored.

So, is human nature good or evil?

In fact, they are not entirely correct. Human nature should be about the coexistence of good and evil.

Just like good and evil coexist in every era, good cannot easily destroy evil, and evil cannot easily defeat good.

This is a relatively shallow proposition.

The apparent essence or fact of human nature is the coexistence of good and evil.

It's just that some people are good at it, and some people are at it less.

Some people are kind and strong, like ancient pines that cannot be shaken. Some people are few and weak, like grass on a wall that moves with the wind.

The middle-level proposition is: Is human nature good or evil first, inherently good or inherently evil?

It should be good.

Because when the world is functioning normally, it is far greater than when it is collapsing.

The normal operation of the world requires the support of kindness, and it is the support of countless kindnesses.

Where do the deeper propositions, good and evil, come from?
