Huaiyu County made Yang Hongyuan realize that this important part of the cultivation world is also the largest group of monks - casual cultivators.
Yang Hongyuan also had a question in his mind before. According to later generations, the high-level casual cultivators in this world are not much worse than the large-scale monks. The Xiaoyao Immortal lineage represented by the casual cultivators in the Immortal Palace and the sect Immortal lineage are going back and forth, fighting.
Very happy.
But as far as Yuzhou is concerned, not to mention the casual cultivators of the real person realm, even the casual cultivators of the martial artist realm are pitifully few.
Yuzhou, ranging from villages and towns to counties, has been divided up by various sects and sects, and is controlled at every level.
Each village and town has a village leader and a guard, and the hopeful clan has powerful people. The family power is an extension of the sect that controls the counties. Under the control at all levels, there is simply no way for casual cultivators to survive.
Therefore, based on this situation, Yang Hongyuan formulated the strategy of Yanyan Town to open the door to casual cultivators.
This also attracted many martial arts casual cultivators to come here, strengthening the protective force of Yanyan Town.
Due to hundreds of years of war in Yuzhou, many casual cultivators were killed in the early days and were forcibly recruited to die.
This was the case for the founder of the Yang family. Although he was injured, he survived the battlefield with his life saved, and finally settled in Qingshu Village, where the Yang family is today.
Seeing this, many casual cultivators fled one after another, and the casual cultivators from other states naturally did not dare to come. Now that the war has stopped for a hundred years, the situation has gradually improved.
Nowadays, Huaiyu County has seen the prosperity of casual cultivators. There are generally three sources of casual cultivators in the cultivation world.
The first type is also the source of high-level monks among casual cultivators. They are disciples from dilapidated sects. Either the sect was destroyed or they rebelled against the sect or established their own sect, such as Taoist Su Yue in later generations.
Such casual cultivators often master some inherited techniques and a lot of cultivation materials, and have sufficient resources to support them.
Without the constraints of the sect and family, he relied on his good cultivation opportunities to become a high-level cultivator among casual cultivators.
The second type of casual cultivator is a businessman. This type of casual cultivator does not have inheritance resources like those disciples of the sect who become casual cultivators halfway, nor does it have the inheritance resources like the spiritual farmers in each village who have household registration and spiritual land.
It is a reselling business, from one county to another for a small one, and from one state to another for a large one.
While promoting the exchange of materials and the circulation of spiritual objects in the cultivation world, they also seek benefits from it and earn cultivation resources, such as Li Laosan who was cheated by his ten-year-old grandson. It is these merchants who support the grass markets.
These merchants often have all kinds of strange and weird things, and many people get the opportunity to inherit from their predecessors. Of course, there are also many people who are cheated of jade coins in vain.
These merchants often need to use jade coins to exchange spiritual grains from spiritual farmers in each village, and then the spiritual farmers in each village use jade coins to exchange them for elixirs and spiritual materials.
The third type is the huge bottom among the casual cultivators, the spiritual farmers in each village who are not even the smallest powerful family.
A poor family not only requires generations of spiritual farmers in the family, but also requires monks at the fourth level of the mortal realm or above in each generation.
As for those small families that only have cultivation qualifications for several generations, they have neither the inheritance of skills nor the resources of jade coins, so they are the most numerous and lowest-level monks in the cultivation world.
To put it more broadly, those who are not part of a clan within a prominent family, even if there are members of the martial arts realm, are mostly blood relatives within three generations.
There are only a dozen or so members of this kind of family, so it is not an exaggeration to call them rogue cultivators. However, compared with real rogue cultivators, they have more household registrations and can be allocated spiritual land, and they are nominally affiliated with the sect.
With such a large group of practitioners, it is natural that some people with profound luck will get opportunities, and some people choose to support their families and build their power.
Some people completely break away from their families in order to pursue their own path. After all, for people with such backgrounds, their families will not be able to provide much help.
The only ties of kinship are parents, brothers and sisters, and when we have a mortal connection, we have nothing to worry about.
There are advantages and disadvantages to establishing family power. For example, if Yang Hongyuan had not supported the family in return, the resources he would have gained would have been enough to cultivate all the way to the realm of real people.
But there are a few people in the cultivation world who, like Yang Hongyuan, don't worry about resources, inheritance, and longevity.
Which monk is not trying to earn resources to advance his cultivation? If his own cultivation is not enough, how can he divide it any further?
Creating a power requires a lot of investment in the early stage, but of course the rewards in the later stages will be huge.
Not only do future generations have a place of refuge, but they can also use their influence to collect resources to bring themselves one step closer.
For example, Master Tianlang was also a casual cultivator back then, and the current Tianlang Sect is very prosperous. But who knows how many times Master Tianlang fought and how much effort he put into establishing the sect.
If you go to other states to develop, you may not be able to advance to the Xuangang Realm, which is why most casual cultivators travel alone.
In the early stages of cultivating as a casual cultivator, there is no way to take care of others, and when the cultivator matures, there are almost no blood relatives or friends left.
This type of casual cultivator with profound luck may have become an ancestor in the Tao realm with a high level of cultivation, or may be adept at cultivating immortals and gaining respect from others.
Although the disciples of the big sects have inheritance resources, their base is far inferior to that of the huge group of casual cultivators. In the real world, the disciples of various sects in the martial arts realm are often stronger than the casual cultivators.
But when you reach the high level of the Dao Realm, or even the Immortal Realm, the gap is not that big. After all, if a casual cultivator can reach this point, he is already no weaker than a monk who comes from a sect in terms of inheritance of skills.
Maybe the big sects have some inherited secrets and their vision is stronger than that of casual cultivators, but when it comes to taking action, whoever is stronger or weaker will have to fight it out.
However, there is currently no prominent family force in Huaiyu County. Although there are real people from the Shaking Tianzong Realm and late Wuren Realm who are in charge of the county and towns, it is impossible to cover everything.
Under the loose policies of Shaking Tian Sect for hundreds of years after the war, it is natural that the current prosperity of casual cultivators has occurred.
Although Yang Hongyuan has also been to the county towns of Chenyu, Jinyu, and Mengyu counties, there are many wealthy and distinguished families in the three counties, and the living space for casual cultivators is far less than that in Huaiyu County.
I stopped and walked along the way and saw a lot of good things. I would buy them if I saw them. The only pity is that I didn't miss anything big.
Only a few red embroidered rough stones were found, but the few red embroidered rough stones now have little effect on Yang Hongyuan.
However, after the Yang family took over the towns of Yanyan and Yangyan, the number of red embroidered rough stones collected every month increased greatly.
With the increase in the power of the Yang family in Shaking Heaven Sect, it is now more convenient to collect them. However, we adhere to the principle that we would rather not have any clues than leak any clues.
The Yang family has always been cautious in collecting secretly. After all, as long as it is not discovered, it will be a long-term gain. Naturally, they cannot kill the goose to obtain the eggs.
At this moment, Yang Hongyuan was attracted by a damaged purple token. It was only about half of its original size, with a few runes remaining on it. It looked like the fragments of a low-grade magic weapon.
But when Yang Hongyuan looked with his Qilin Qingling Eyes, he could see the complicated patterns in the token. He then approached the stall with a normal expression and picked up a piece of green-red steel, a medium-grade spiritual material.
ps: The estimate is wrong. Ancestor Xuan Yuan won’t be able to appear today, so he will appear tonight!
