Through Yi Gu's explanation, Lin Bai gradually understood the origin of Xianyu.
Immortal jade is a kind of spiritual stone that is higher than spiritual stone.
Immortal jade contains a faint trace of immortal energy, and this strand of immortal energy is extremely suitable for the cultivation of warriors above the Taiyi Daoguo realm.
Warriors whose cultivation has reached the realm of Taiyi Daoguo or above are basically still out of the realm of mortals, and their lifespans can be as long as ten thousand years.
However, it is extremely difficult for warriors above the Taiyi Daoguo realm to break through to the realm of cultivation. There are fewer and fewer miraculous elixirs suitable for them to take in the world. Without heaven-defying opportunities and good fortune, it is almost difficult to achieve a breakthrough.
Xianyu, on the other hand, makes up for this gap.
As long as there are enough immortal jades, even if there is no chance or luck, Taiyi Daoguo warriors will still have a chance to break through the realm of cultivation.
The ancestors of ancient times discovered that fairy jade had great miraculous effects on high-level warriors, so they scraped and mined fairy jade with their hands, and even broke out in bloody turmoil for the sake of fairy jade.
Due to the over-exploitation of warriors in ancient times, the reserves of immortal jade in the demon world and the spiritual world are now pitifully small. Except for some heyday sects that have some reserves, other sects rarely have reserves.
For example, the Seven Nights Divine Sect, as one of the four most prosperous sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, has more than 500,000 fairy jade reserves within the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and it also occupies three fairy jade veins.
This is the true foundation of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
For example, Tianshui Sect, when it was once glorious, had a reserve of more than tens of thousands of immortal jade. However, now that the sect is in decline, the consumption of immortal jade is huge, so that Tianshui Sect only has a reserve of immortal jade that is less than a few thousand yuan.
Without immortal jade, it would be difficult to cultivate high-level experts.
Without a high-level strong man in charge, even if all his disciples are like dragons, they will be massacred by the hostile sect.
For a sect, the so-called foundation is nothing more than three factors.
First, practice resources.
It refers to the miraculous elixirs and magical weapons suitable for low-level warriors; as well as the rare treasures used in high-level cultivation, such as fairy jade.
Only with these things can we continuously cultivate strong men and consolidate the status of the sect and family.
After the disciples grow up, Xianyu will help them become the mainstay of the sect.
Moreover, fairy jade is usually occupied by major sects in the demon world and the spiritual world, which monopolize the ways to obtain fairy jade. If you want to break through to a higher martial arts peak, you must join them.
You cannot get the Immortal Jade by joining the sect. You must be extremely loyal to the sect and make great contributions to the sect before you will be given the Immortal Jade.
Second, excellent disciples.
The second most important thing for a sect’s heritage is outstanding disciples of the younger generation.
Only by having enough outstanding disciples can the sect's strength be continuously strengthened.
Moreover, these younger generation disciples still need to be extremely loyal.
Third, high-level powerful people are in charge.
The high-level powerhouses here refer to those who are in the Taiyi Dao Fruit, Daluo Dao Fruit, and Hunyuan Dao Fruit realms.
If there is no strong person in charge, even if you have a deep foundation, you will still attract the covetousness and espionage of the young people.
The so-called heritage of a sect and a family mainly refers to these three things.
Walking in Canghaifang, Yi Gu slowly told about the past and present lives of the immortal jade, and said: "It is a pity that the ancestors in ancient times over-exploited and consumed the immortal jade, which caused a huge consumption of the immortal jade, and we have reached where we are now.
In this era, the reserves of immortal jade in the demon world and the spiritual world are already very few."
"The few veins of immortal jade in the demon world are basically occupied by the heyday sect."
"This is also an important factor in becoming a prosperous sect. It must have a vein of immortal jade."
The pinnacle of martial arts in ancient times were so powerful because they were the first batch of warriors to exploit this land.
In the spiritual world and demonic world in ancient times, there were rare elixirs everywhere, and the mountains were full of spiritual stones and jade.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, and there are abundant resources for cultivation.
How could such a magnificent and majestic era not create superpowers one after another?
Yi Gu said: "The battles in ancient times caused a huge consumption of fairy jade. After the end of the ancient times, fairy jade became one of the scarce cultivation resources in the world."
"Later, someone discovered that fairy jade occasionally appeared among some ugly and broken stones."
"Evolving year after year, this has gradually formed a culture of stone gambling."
"Bury a stone and cut it open to see if there is any fairy jade inside."
"If you have fairy jade, you can become rich overnight."
"If not, everything will be ruined."
"After all, if you remove a piece of immortal jade, countless families and sects will come to buy it."
The two of them walked to a small stall.
Yi Gu picked up a fist-sized stone, played with it in his hand, and said, "I want this stone. How much does it cost?"
The owner of the stall opened his eyelids and said with a smile: "Young Master has good eyesight, this is a top-quality piece of raw jade."
"I am so destined to the young master, the price is ten thousand purple gold."
Lin Bai was stunned and took a second look at the blue and white stone in Yi Gu's hand.
Isn't this just a blue and white stone picked up everywhere by the river?
Is this thing worth 10,000 purple gold?
But Yi Gu didn't even think about it, just threw ten thousand purple gold, took the stone and left.
After taking a few steps, he exerted force in his hand, and his spiritual power was like a knife, slowly breaking the stone apart.
There is no immortal jade inside the stone.
Disappointed, Yi Gu threw the stone on the side of the road and continued walking forward.
"You don't want it now?" Lin Bai frowned, this was a stone bought for ten thousand purple gold.
Yi Gu smiled and said: "If you can't find the immortal jade, it will be a piece of broken stone. It will be useless if you leave it."
Lin Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Is this a gamble? Is there really anyone in this world who would gamble?"
Yi Gu smiled and said: "Brother Lin, you don't know that there are many people in Qiye Shenzong who have lost everything because of gambling on stones."
"In the past, within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, when I was a young evil boy, I would often go there and gamble on stones."
"If you are lucky sometimes, you can get two or three pieces of fairy jade."
"But generally speaking, they all come back disappointed."
"The demon world is so huge and there are so many stones. How easy is it to find a fairy jade from so many stones?"
Walking in Canghaifang, Lin Bai saw many things that he had never seen before.
For example, gambling on stones.
"A new batch of immortal jade raw stones have arrived at Xianle Tower. Bosses, please take a look inside."
At this moment, Lin Bai and Yi Gu passed by a luxurious pavilion.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in rich clothes came out and saluted everyone walking on the street.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless warriors immediately poured into the pavilion.
"Come on, Brother Lin, let's go take a look too." Yi Gu was happy and became interested, pulling Lin Bai into the Xianle Building.
