As they approached Wujiafang City, they sensed some monks with malicious intentions, and Lu Xuanji and the others became increasingly cautious.
Casual cultivators are very poor.
Because of poverty, it is common for casual cultivators to kill people and seize treasures.
Many casual cultivators have rich combat experience, strong fighting abilities, and are extremely cruel.
Without much hesitation, Lu Xuanji stepped forward to pay two spiritual stones, received an iron plate, and entered Wujiafang City.
Wujiafang City is located at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. There is a second-level mid-level spiritual vein here that can support ten foundation-building monks for training.
After entering here, Lu Xuanji took a breath and felt the rich spiritual energy.
The concentration of spiritual energy is more than three times that of the external spiritual energy, but it is not as good as Ziyang Mountain. Settling in Wujiafang City and absorbing the spiritual veins here will increase your cultivation speed a lot. After some estimation, with the strong spiritual veins here, it would take him eight years to advance to the next level.
Here, there are scattered human monks scattered everywhere.
In Fang City, there are shops, restaurants, various trading places, etc. There are monks here, there are low-level monks here, many monks are only at the first level of Qi training, and there are also some monks’ family members, here It seemed very lively.
Fighting is prohibited in Fang City.
Even the most daring person would not commit murder here.
As I was walking, I saw a large stone tablet on the left side of the square, which had the city's rules written on it, about eighteen of them;
The price (housing price) of the cave here is written on the right. The price of the cave is divided into three levels. The price of the first-level cave is ten spiritual stones per year, the price of the second-level cave is twenty spiritual stones per year, and the price of the third-level cave is thirty spiritual stones per year. A spiritual stone.
There are also some ads and quests below.
For example, if you rent a spiritual field near Fangshi, you will not only have a free third-level cave, but also a salary of ten spiritual stones per year. The third floor of the spiritual rice in the spiritual field will be used as rent, and the seventh floor will belong to the monks;
For example, a certain alchemy master teaches how to make elixirs for free;
For example, a certain master teaches how to make talismans for free, and he does not ask for money.
For example, if you recruit outstanding alchemists, formation masters, Qi practitioners, etc., you will not only be given a salary of thirty spiritual stones per year, but also various other subsidies, and a beautiful maid.
For example, a certain team recruits members to go out to hunt monsters together, and is given one hundred spirit stones in advance as a guaranteed salary.
There are various preferential policies above. For monks, the conditions are almost excellent. Not only food and accommodation are included, but also various preferential policies and so on.
A hundred years ago, when an ancestor of the Wu family implemented such a policy, many people watched and laughed.
The Wu family is in a hurry to teach casual cultivators a variety of arts for free; to live in caves for free and to farm spiritual fields for casual cultivators, idiot; before going out to hunt monsters, they have to give a hundred spiritual stones as a deposit, it’s really So idle.
A year later, those who saw the Wu family's joke were dumbfounded.
After implementing these policies, the flow of people in Wujiafang City is increasing;
The casual cultivators at the bottom have a living security and the production of spiritual rice is increasing;
The casual cultivators at the bottom have learned how to make alchemy, weapon training, talisman making, etc. Although their level is very low, they have gained a skill, the spiritual stones in their hands are increasing, and their purchasing power is increasing;
Every time the monks go out and form a group to hunt monsters, because there is a guarantee, the number of people killing people and taking treasures is reduced, and the public security in the area is improving;
In just one year, Wujiafang City's income increased by as much as five levels.
Soon after, other cities and towns followed suit, and the benefits improved a lot.
"That ancestor of the Wu family is really amazing."
Lu Xuanji sighed in his heart.
In the past, casual cultivators were at odds with aristocratic families. Those cultivating families often squeezed casual cultivators, and casual cultivators often intercepted and killed family cultivators. The relationship between them was tense.
But after the ancestor of the Wu family treated the casual cultivators kindly, the relationship between them eased a bit.
As relations ease, more order comes.
In an orderly environment, it is easier to make money.
As for the various preferential policies given to casual cultivators, it seems that the casual cultivators have benefited, but the Wu family has benefited even more.
You have to wait for the sheep to grow fat before you pull out the wool.
At that time, woolen wool would have more flavor.
…
After looking at the stone tablet for a few times, I wandered on the street.
The shops here are very prosperous, but the difference is that each shop only sells one kind of elixir.
Walking into the shop, Lu Xuanji inquired and checked the elixirs. These elixirs were all low-level elixirs such as Jade Emperor Pill, Bigu Pill, Bimai Pill, Qi-Blood Pill, and Blood-Activating Pill, but they were all top-grade.
Large quantity, cheap price.
These elixirs are all made by casual cultivators.
Family monks refining elixirs mainly focus on grade, improving the grade of elixirs. A high-grade elixir can be sold for thousands or tens of thousands of spiritual stones; Kesan cultivation elixirs focus on quantity and quality. They only refine one elixir and often After refining, the elixir's elixir-forming efficiency and elixir grade were raised to the extreme.
The quality of these low-grade elixirs made by casual cultivation puts even some high-level alchemists to shame.
Lu Xuanji took action and bought the Jade Emperor Pill, the Qi and Blood Pill, the Blood Revitalizing Pill, etc. He bought a total of eight bottles, with ten pieces in each bottle, and the price was only five spiritual stones.
Leave here and go to live in a cave.
The land here, as well as the spiritual fields, etc. all belong to the Wu family and cannot be bought or sold, only rented.
As we walked, we arrived at a shop in the center of Fangshi.
The shops here are not luxurious, but they are extremely grand. There are four big characters on the door plaque, Wu Family Shop.
When entering the store, there was a woman in white palace clothes on the counter. She was calculating something on the counter. It could be seen that her aura was already at the seventh level of Qi training.
"Does this fellow Taoist have any vacant caves for rent?"
Lu Xuanji stepped forward and asked.
"Of course it is." The woman in palace clothes said: "Wujiafang City has enough spiritual energy and has opened many caves. But what level of cave do you want? If you want a spiritual field, you can rent the cave for free; if you don't want a spiritual field, you have to create a spiritual field. The rent should be paid once every ten years, and the spiritual field must be seeded at least 100 acres, so that the spiritual field cannot be left desolate."
"The cave must take the spirit field with it."
Lu Xuanji said.
"Fellow Taoist, you have reached the seventh level of qi training. Let's choose the second level cave." The woman in palace clothes asked again, "Fellow Taoist, what is your profession?"
"I am Ling Zhifu."
Lu Xuanji said.
"Spiritual planter?" The woman in palace clothes flashed a look of surprise and asked with curiosity: "Lingzhufu is very difficult. It requires monks to have two spiritual roots of earth and wood. They can clearly see the fertility of the soil and be familiar with the growth conditions of spiritual plants. , Excellent spiritual husbands are rarer than alchemists and formation masters."
"For example, the yield of white rice per mu is 200 kilograms. How many kilograms of rice do you produce per mu?"
"My yield per mu is 230 kilograms."
Lu Xuanji said.
The yield per mu is 250 kilograms. It is said to be 230 kilograms just to avoid scaring people.
"Two hundred and thirty pounds, amazing."
The woman in palace clothes flashed a look of horror and said: "Next, you will plant three hundred acres of spiritual fields. Can you take good care of them? If you do not take good care of them, you will be punished. The yield of spiritual rice will be inspected by special foundation-building monks. If the output does not meet the standard, you will be punished; but if the output reaches the standard, or even exceeds a certain standard, you will be rewarded.”
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Agriculture, mainly based on spiritual fields, is the most important industry of the Xiuzhen family.
The following alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, formations, etc. are all based on the spiritual field. Without the increase in the production of spiritual rice and elixirs in the spiritual field, these industries cannot expand and grow.
"This is the land deed. Keep it."
The woman in palace attire directly opened the title deed, which contained the location of the cave, the area, the furnishings inside, and the number of spiritual fields of 300 acres. There were two copies, one for the Wu family to keep and one for the guests. If there is a dispute, it depends on the title deed to determine the right and wrong.
After taking the land deed, Lu Xuanji looked at it carefully. The land deed was for ten years and contained various regulations. It was quite reasonable and there were no slave clauses.
Directly on it, sign your name, Lu Xuanji.
In the other corner, there is the name of the woman in palace attire, Wu Yueqin.
Looking at the name on the contract, the woman in palace clothes frowned slightly. Could it be that this person was from the Lu family.
He just hesitated for a moment and didn't ask anything.
Do more and talk less. This is the duty of a human being.
Many people get into trouble because of their talkativeness.
