Yan Kong looked at Lin Feng again in surprise: "Don't you know? Most of the monks in the Yulong cultivation world are self-reliant. Whether it is elixirs or treasures, as long as they are within their ability, they are tested by themselves. Only those who compare
Only if you find rare elixirs or treasures, do you ask someone to take care of them."
Lin Feng was surprised and said: "Oh, is this happening?"
Yan Kong: "The advantage of doing this is that if you get any precious materials, if you can refine them yourself, they will not be known to others, saving you the trouble of being coveted. Moreover, there are some masters of alchemy and weapon refining.
, are actually all self-taught!”
Lin Feng asked: "But in the early stages of trials, most of them end in failure, but they require a lot of financial resources to maintain."
Yan Kong nodded: "Short-term financial expenditure can lay the foundation for the future path of cultivation, so it is worth it!"
Lin Feng secretly felt that it made sense. The financial resources he had invested in the beginning would bring endless benefits if he succeeded in learning. After all, the road to cultivation was long, and learning a skill would be of great benefit to him.
The monks in the Yulong Cultivation World are much more advanced than the monks in the Southern Guangdong Cultivation World.
Yan Kong went on to say: "However, most monks are limited by their qualifications, so although they can refine some spiritual pills, the rate of pill production is disastrous. Take Guiyuan Pill as an example, most people's pill production rate is terrible.
The alchemy rate will not exceed 10%, and those who reach 30% are authentic alchemists."
Lin Feng asked: "In addition to spiritual elixirs and weapon refining, do you also refine magic circles and spiritual talismans yourself?"
Yan Kong shook his head: "Only some families and major cultivation sects have true inheritance of spiritual talismans and magic formations, which are beyond the reach of ordinary monks. Therefore, the self-reliance I just mentioned is limited to alchemy and weapon refining, because these two are closely related to all monks.
, and it is the most common in the world of cultivation, making it easier for monks to communicate and learn from each other in order to learn from each other's strengths."
Lin Feng nodded: "That's it! If all monks are able to master the art of weapon refining and alchemy refining, then everyone will have their own opinions and experiences, and if they don't cherish themselves and dare to exchange with others, they will not only give themselves a lot of money in the long run.
It will form an accumulation, and all the experience will be spread more and more widely, and the monks in the entire cultivation world will benefit a lot!"
Yan Kong said: "That's right! Therefore, most of the ordinary elixirs or treasures are cultivated by all monks on their own. Only some very rare and extremely difficult to refine the best ones will go to the big cultivation sects that specialize in this.
Asking for help, of course, will cost you a lot, and it will make your materials attract attention, making it extremely easy for others to covet you."
Lin Feng said: "So, there should be alchemists and weapon refiners everywhere in the world of cultivation?"
Yan Kong: "This is indeed the case for ordinary level alchemists and weapon refiners, but those with higher rates of elixir production and weapon success are also very rare. However, in any case, there are many self-taught monks, and with the level of
As the level of alchemy and weapon refining increases, the alchemy and weapon skills will also gradually increase. This eliminates the monopoly of alchemy and weapon refining to a certain extent. The alchemy and weapon refining skills in the world of cultivation have generally improved, and the materials are also a
Take advantage of."
Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, and Yan Kong said to him: "You are so unfamiliar with the current situation of the cultivation world, and it seems that you don't belong here at all. This is indeed strange, but in this way, you can't even be in the cultivation world.
You have been wandering around, especially in this desert continent that is close to the border of the Demon Sect, because you are not familiar with this place at all. Once you are captured by other forces, I am afraid you will inevitably be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder."
Lin Feng asked: "Since the casual cultivators are so weak, isn't there anyone who can organize them into a powerful group?"
Yan Kong: "Rogue cultivators have their own alliance, and it's very powerful. It's called the "Rogue Cultivators Association". Their disciples are all over the world of cultivation. Almost all cities and cities have their branches. It's extremely difficult to join the association.
It's simple, but the tasks assigned by the casual cultivators are extremely complicated. To complete these complicated tasks will consume a lot of energy. It is impossible to have time to practice again. If you fail to complete them, you will be expelled for life.
, and at the same time all the wealth he possesses will be deprived of him.”
Lin Feng frowned and said, "How can you be so domineering?"
Yan Kong: "Yes! To put it bluntly, a large number of casual cultivators grow by depriving a large number of low-level monks of their blood and sweat. Unless you are a monk in the alchemy stage, otherwise, you will be the same as other disciples.
Similarly, being burdened with a large number of duties, low-level monks have to go to the mining area to dig spiritual mines, and monks in the foundation-building stage have to constantly run around to collect other materials, and even kill people and buy goods for the casual cultivator alliance. If the task fails, they will even be kicked out directly.
The inner elder will kill him on the spot!"
Lin Feng sighed: "In this way, the casual cultivator is not allowed to enter."
Yan Kong: "The Rogue Cultivator Association was not like this at the beginning. It was originally a force hosted by some Nascent Soul Stage rogue cultivators. All the disciples were rogue cultivators with no fixed residence and no fixed territory or area of jurisdiction. Later, it gradually grew in size.
Up, not only did they have their own territory, but they also had branches all over the continents. Many cultivation cities and cities had their shops. They were now so wealthy that no one dared to mess with them, instead of the original ones that anyone could bully.
I am a poor migrant cultivator!"
Lin Feng: "If you don't join the casual cultivator, you will have to join a major cultivator sect or a cultivator family, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold."
Yan Kong advised him: "Yes! In your situation, it is best to join a sect or family as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you are not troubled by the war, you are so unfamiliar with the world of cultivation and it is very dangerous to walk alone outside."
Lin Feng asked: "If I join a stronger force, will I be sent out to fight less often?"
Yan Kong thought for a moment and said: "Unless you go to Hanzhou, the highest territory of Dao Sect, where any big cultivation city has a strong sect garrisoned, as long as you have the ability to get a cave in the city, then you can basically sit back and relax.
Because those powerful sects have enough rights to dispatch personnel from their own territories to fight."
Lin Feng was shocked: "Oh, just buying a cave can avoid going to war?"
Yan Kong nodded: "Yes, but the price of the cave can easily reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of spirit stones. A medium-sized cultivation family may not have such strong financial resources. In fact, even those big cultivation sects have spiritual stone stocks.
They are all stretched thin, excluding the daily expenses of the disciples, there is not much surplus at all, and the larger the sect, the greater the amount of spiritual stones consumed."
Lin Feng murmured: "It's actually so expensive! The sky-high price of hundreds of millions of spiritual stones is estimated to be something only Nascent Soul Stage monks can afford. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage monks, even if they have the financial resources, would never dare to show off like this."
Yan Kong said: "The great monks in the Yuanying stage may not be so generous, but if they really reach the realm of Yuanying stage, they don't have to worry about such trivial matters. No matter where they go, there is no force that does not welcome them.
, as for the monks below the pill-forming stage and the foundation-building stage, it is impossible for them to have such strong financial resources."
Lin Feng asked: "Then by what method can we live in those cultivation cities?"
Yan Kong said: "If you have a skill or are accepted as a disciple by a master of the Yuanying stage, it will be much easier, because no matter where the master of the Yuanying stage goes, he is extremely popular. There is no sect.
It will exclude masters from the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, one thing you may not know is that more than 90% of the masters of alchemy and weapon refining in the Dao Sect Alliance are concentrated in major cultivation cities in Hanzhou. Not only do they live for free, but they do not need to go to war. The only thing they have to do is
It’s all about refining weapons and elixirs!”
Lin Feng's expression changed: "Oh, are those powerful sects deliberately recruiting talents?"
Yan Kong: "Yes. However, the skills of these people must reach a certain level. Ordinary alchemists and weapon refiners are not enough. Besides, in addition to spiritual elixirs and weapon refiners, if they also have expertise in other areas, they can be recognized by those major sects.
, also enjoy generous treatment.”
Lin Feng asked again: "In this way, you don't have to be burdened by trivial matters, but you have to work hard day and night for the big sect. Wouldn't it still be impossible to practice with peace of mind?"
Yan Kong: "The materials these people want to refine are very rare. It is impossible for those big sects to have so many materials for them to refine, so most of the time, they are relatively free, except for alchemy. Some monks have a certain
These elixirs have a very high elixir yield rate, so in order to save costs, large sects need them to refine certain elixirs day and night."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment in silence, then changed the topic and asked: "Is there a market nearby? The smallest one is fine, as long as it is a market."
Yan Kong said: "This is close to the battle area between Dao Sect and Demon Sect. It is true that there is no Dafang City, but small markets can be seen everywhere. However, the materials in them are very ordinary and of poor quality. They are mainly built for convenience.
It was established for low-level monks below the basic level."
Lin Feng: "That's enough. Can you tell me its location?"
Yan Kong smiled and said: "The Yan family where the three of us belong is hundreds of miles ahead. There are more than a dozen small cultivation families living there. The total number of monks in each family is several thousand, so a small community has been formed spontaneously.
City, you just come back with us."
Lin Feng didn't shirk, and just followed the Yan family and flew in the direction where they lived. After more than half an hour, he came to a group of peaks with strong aura. There were some caves on each peak. It should be
It's the Xiuzhen family who settled here.
Yan Kong and the other three took Lin Feng to a hillside. The entire hillside was full of people. Although the monks were not of a high level and there were no shops here. They were all convenient and fast stalls. However, the size of the entire market
, but it is comparable to Yuxianfang City on the far western plateau. However, in Yan Kong's view, this is just the smallest micro-fashion city. From this, Lin Feng guessed that the number of people in Yulong Cultivation World and the size of the city are indeed larger than
