Chapter 90 Sect and Loose Cultivators

dong dong dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and a young female voice came over:

"Guest, we are about to reach Ten Thousand Ant Ridge. The ant-like monsters there are very sensitive to spiritual energy. I hope that the guest will try not to use spells in the next three hours, and it is best not to practice."

Lu Ang stopped practicing: "I understand."

The shadow of the maid disappeared on the window lattice, and Lu Ang also opened the window and looked outside.

He currently lives in a three-story building on another giant elephant, which is in the second half of the entire team. The building is occupied by casual cultivators who also went south to Fangshan Fairy City.

Sometimes when monsters attack, most of these casual cultivators will be called down to fight them, and several of them are injured along the way.

But he never called Lu Ang. He only delivered two simple meals of two dishes and one soup every day, and rarely disturbed him at other times.

It can be seen that the bluffing was okay before. The caravan also adhered to the rules of making money by being friendly and did not do stupid things because of greed.

Of course, Lu Ang still didn't eat the meals that were delivered just in case. What he usually ate was the spiritual rice cooked in the valley before, which was paired with the vegetables in the pig's trotter rice, which was barely okay.

Even the Talisman Experience Secrets that the Zhao family had used to apologize for had never been taken out and read to prevent the Zhao family from doing anything in the book.

Even because the giant elephant was rushing day and night, rarely stopping, and rarely having the opportunity to return to the training valley, Lu Ang would turn on "Space Phase" even when sleeping, and hide in a large empty box carried by the giant elephant.

The world of cultivating immortals is full of dangers. If you can be careful, you must be careful, otherwise you won't know how you will die.

Outside the window, several caravan crews were grabbing handfuls of light blue powder from the copper vats they were holding, and sprinkling them into the air.

These powders dispersed and turned into clouds of light blue mist, completely covering each giant elephant.

It is said that this kind of powder is called blue crystal sulfur powder, which has the magical effect of driving away poisonous insects and blocking the perception of monsters. It is a weapon that the caravan relies on to overcome every dangerous situation.

After walking around with the store for such a long time, encountering every market and sect station, Lu Ang also basically understood the operation mode of this caravan.

This caravan is called Xingyun Chamber of Commerce, or Xingyun Sect. Yes, it is more like a sect.

The entire sect is divided into three branches. Among them, the branch headed by the Golden Pill Sect leader is the strongest and follows the most prosperous and dangerous business path. The leaders of the other two groups also have the strength to build the late stage and complete the foundation. .

The team that Lu Ang belonged to was the team in charge of the later stages of foundation building. Of course, the trade route they took was also the least dangerous of the three north-south trade routes.

Why are they said to be a sect?

The reason is also very simple. Everyone in the caravan practices the same skill called "Xingyun Gong". It has no spiritual root attribute restrictions, but requires the practitioner to travel around, experience the aura of different places, and sense the aura. The ever-changing spirituality in the world cannot just sit in one place and practice hard. The more places you go, the higher the efficiency of practice will be, which is very magical.

Therefore, sometimes, in some cities, they will even take in other orphans and young children with excellent spiritual roots, raise them, teach them exercises, teach them various rules of business, and train them to be their own clerks from an early age. .

The profit model of Xingyun Chamber of Commerce is also very clear, mainly two:
One is to provide various second-level services, such as second-level magic weapons, second-level elixirs, etc.

In ordinary markets, they generally only provide first-level services. This is enough for most casual cultivators, but it is far from enough for those casual cultivators who are in the later stages of Qi refining and have even been promoted to foundation building. .

For example, if you are a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining and often fight in the wild, don't you want to have a few second-level talismans on your body that can be used to activate and save your life at critical moments?

There is also the "Foundation Establishment Pill", an elixir that is almost necessary for promotion to Foundation Establishment. Apart from sects, only large caravans like the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce can provide it. Although it is expensive, each market only takes two or three pills for auction. , but it is also a channel to some extent.The second one is to earn the price difference by purchasing items.

There are not many ways for casual cultivators to make money. Except for those who have mastered the various arts of cultivating immortals and have production tools and production capabilities, other casual cultivators still have to go to the wild to work hard.

Hunting monsters, looking for spiritual herbs, exploring ruins, cheating on each other, and earning a little bit of spiritual stones between life and death.

This is also the reason why Lu Ang was targeted by the Zhao family before. It is common for other casual cultivators, even those in the late stage of Qi refining, not to be able to hunt a single monster in ten days and a half. You have four, five, five or six every day. Even if they are selling small monsters, they are really eye-catching.

The casual cultivators finally hunted a monster and found a few spiritual herbs, naturally hoping to sell them at a high price.

Compared with Fangshi, the price offered by the caravan is much more generous, almost 200% to 2% more. A whole monster beast that costs 30 is an extra [-] to [-] yuan for nothing. Who wouldn't want to?

Moreover, the caravan never sells materials, nor does the talisman paper used by the talisman practitioner to make talismans. They only sell finished products.

Many of the disciples of Xingyun Sect in the caravan were taught various arts of cultivating immortals, such as drawing talismans, refining alchemy, refining weapons... They were refining various materials collected all the time along the way. into finished product.

And those who have no talent do some hard work: carrying goods, acting as waiters, driving giant elephants, resisting monsters...

Each market, depending on its size, stays for three to seven days, from south to north, and then from north to south. Each trip lasts almost a year.

The huge amount of money he earned also provided support for the casual cultivators in Canglan Region.

At least in Lu Ang's view, caravans are very beneficial to casual cultivators.

Along the way, Lu Ang had almost figured out the relationship between the sect and the casual cultivators.

Most casual cultivators have limited spiritual root qualifications, not to mention those with low-grade spiritual roots that are rubbish. Even if they have low-grade spiritual roots, most sects will only accept them as outer disciples, and they will be taught for a fee.

Those who are famous, have strong sects, and powerful techniques will charge higher fees.There are fewer people who are not famous, whose sect is weak and whose skills are ordinary.

The skills taught are usually taught up to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, or more generously, including breakthrough and foundation building techniques.

This is overwhelming. If you want to practice the foundation-building techniques, or even the golden elixir avenue, you have to enter the inner gate.

Naturally, spiritual roots are required to enter the inner sect, at least middle-grade spiritual roots. Furthermore, a life card must be left behind to prevent betrayal of the sect after learning the skills.

Of course, the life card also has the function of checking whether a disciple has died.

Their choice naturally makes sense. After all, spiritual roots are the most important talent for immortal cultivators. Only with middle-grade spiritual roots can one have the possibility of being promoted to the golden elixir.

Sects also have to spend a lot of resources to train disciples. How can they waste it on low-grade spiritual roots that can build the most foundations?
Moreover, the existence of fate cards is also the reason why many middle-grade spiritual roots and even higher-level casual cultivators appear.

After all, not everyone wants to have an extra shackle on their body.

Lu Ang is naturally unwilling, so he has no intention of taking the sect path.

The giant elephant is still moving forward steadily, step by step.

I don’t know what level of cultivation can be achieved by the techniques sold publicly in Fangshan Fairy City.
