In the world of cultivation here in Miye City, there are no independent cultivators. Almost all resources are concentrated in large and small forces.
Even a family of three monks is called a cultivating family and is called a micro-power.
However, the resources in the hands of these people are really limited. If they want to obtain the resources for cultivation, including casual cultivators, they need to go to cities where cultivation is more prosperous to exchange or purchase.
Qingyan City itself is such a city, especially after the Zhang family destroyed the Yan family, a large amount of low-level resources were revealed, and more and more casual cultivators began to gather in this city.
Qingyan City, with a population approaching 1.5 million, also made the Zhang family realize why there can be such huge contradictions in this two-level cultivation world.
There are hundreds of thousands of miles of cultivation world under Miye City, with a population of tens of millions, but there are no more resources here. The six top forces and Miye City occupy 50% of it, and the remaining 40% is occupied by those small forces. What can be obtained from casual cultivation can only be 10% by chance.
But even this percentage, in order to maximize utilization, the casual cultivators still need to hand it over to the big forces in exchange for various pills, and in this process, there is a gap of two to three points.
Therefore, although one hundred thousand miles is huge, the largest number of casual cultivators receive less than 10%.
Their only direction is actually the sea. In the sea, there are endless resources, but it is too dangerous for ordinary casual cultivators.
The white water ocean, in the words of the six major forces, is just an ocean, but in the eyes of casual cultivators, the endless demons in it pose a threat as high as the sky.
A hundred people go out to sea in search of resources, and not more than ten can come back alive and safe with spiritual objects.
And can these ten people improve their cultivation a lot just by going to sea?
They are still not as good as the monks of the six major forces, let alone those who open the sky in Midnight City. The resources in their hands still need to be handed over to the masters of alchemy and weapon refining to turn them into the most suitable things, or directly to the hands of the forces. In exchange for practice resources.
The latter is the choice of most casual cultivators. After all, the alchemy and weapon refining master may also be in vain.
"That's why, for the spiritual field given by the Zhang family, these casual cultivators were able to fight desperately and help the Zhang family beat the Yan family for ten years."
"Similarly, this is why there are hundreds of thousands more casual cultivators in Qingyan City all of a sudden."
"They are too short of spiritual resources."
"In the spiritual world of Shenting, these people are just mortals with a glimmer of hope for immortality. Even many mortals in Yunmengze have a better life than them."
"There is a glimmer of hope for immortality, but there is no future of immortality. This is the spiritual world of Shenting."
"That's why the Divine Court continues to expand outwards."
"Although the Divine Court is large, the prosperity of the cultivation world cannot reach everyone."
In Qingyan City, Zhang Qing and Qing Meng were walking on the busy streets, while suppressing the whole city with his spiritual consciousness, he explained to the girl the helplessness and cruelty of the cultivation world.
"If a powerful monk wants to go further, he needs a lot of resources."
In the face of resources, talent is nothing.
In more than a year, Zhang Qing's injuries have fully recovered, but among the many golden lotus plants in the Zhang family, others are still seriously injured.
Therefore, with Zhang Mingxian unable to move away from the north, Qingyan City could only let him suppress the hundreds of thousands of extra monks.
Because of the Lingtian incident, this city was already unstable, and secret killings were commonplace, and now there are so many casual cultivators here.
No one knows how many people Zhang Qing has killed these days, but it is said that the rivers dug outside the city have been soaked with blood.
Because there are invisible golden lotus trees enforcing the law in the city, the city is finally a lot more harmonious, but Zhang Qing still doesn't dare to leave.
Qing Meng followed Zhang Qing, quietly listening to the latter talk about this great divine court, and finally heard about the relationship between the human world and the underworld.
"Actually, I suddenly understand the existence of the Yins."
Zhang Qing looked at the monks around him and said, "The existence of the Yin Division has actually eased the unrestricted pursuit of resources by monks in this world."
"Some spiritual root mortals will become ghosts after a hundred years and live in the land of the underworld. Some spiritual root mortals will obtain the method of cultivation, escape from the underworld, and become practitioners to pursue immortality and enter the thirty-three days."
"This is the balance of the world's spiritual roots, so that there are not so many practitioners in the world, so that there are ghosts in the underworld, and so that there are immortals in the thirty-three days to suppress them."
"From the perspective of heaven and earth, all this is very reasonable, but the human heart is something that even heaven and earth cannot observe."
"Coupled with the power of the Divine Court, more and more practitioners have appeared, even if most of them can only stay on the first or second level of Qi training."
"The prosperous practice world and the resistance of the strong made the Yin Division angry, so they also chose to leave the Yin Division and actively harvest human life, so that the Yin Division can be supplemented by ghosts."
"The more ghosts appear, the more monks there will be in the practice world. In the end, no one will be able to control them."
"As a result, no ghosts from the underworld will appear in the Divine Court anymore. Even if they do appear, they will not cause much trouble and will be hunted by the monks."
"In such a city, there are hundreds of thousands of Qi-training monks. It is conceivable that the number of monks within the territory of Shenting is simply incalculable."
"In the final analysis, this is all because of the shattering of the thirty-three days. Without the suppression of the Immortal Court in the sky, everything will become unscrupulous."
Zhang Qing originally thought that after the thirty-three days were shattered, only demons and Buddhists were left dancing in chaos. In fact, humans were also among them.
There are currently hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators in Qingyan City, and among them there are no more than five hundred foundation-building cultivators. Such a ratio is not a chaotic dance of demons.
Among the hundreds of thousands of qi-training monks, 99% are in the early stage of qi-training, and many even stay in the qi-entraining stage.
Among these people, Zhang Qing is not sure if ten of them can successfully build a foundation in this life.
Maybe... five is a luxury.
But the general environment is like this. Mortals with spiritual roots dare not not practice cultivation. A little bit of ants move, and there is still a chance of immortality. If you know that you have spiritual roots and still treat yourself as a mortal, then you really mean nothing.
I'm afraid that even the Earthly Immortals at the top of Shenting are troubled by this, right?
This is the human heart.
Hope and future, these people who are qualified to practice do not want to give up either.
These casual cultivators are more difficult than those in Yunmengze.
Just when Zhang Qing was sighing with emotion, there were roars in the sky. He looked up and saw a tall illusory portal opening, and one of the airships appeared, exuding a powerful aura.
