Li Dai thought about the purpose of her trip and did not refuse.
Moreover, she saw that the overall spirit of this seven-person team was relatively pure, and they were obviously not treacherous or evil people. Now that they came to Sky Island City alone, it would be better to have a team.
After joining the team, Li Dai was considered a member of the team seeking wealth, so Meng Ran and others roughly explained their situation.
But it turns out that they all came to Sky Island Forest three years ago. Naturally, they came here for resources and cultivation.
Entering Sky Island Forest, even if you do nothing but meditate every day, you will benefit a lot, not to mention there are so many top-quality magic weapons and top-quality elixirs in the seven major chambers of commerce.
As long as you can afford the spirit stones, you can also buy some genius treasures.
And they were able to enter here three years ago because they naturally got one of the hundred places through the competition that year. Therefore, their spiritual roots are not bad and their fighting power is also very strong. After all, each of them represents the family. hope.
Before they have to leave here, they must at least break through the cultivation level of Danjie, so that they can be worthy of entering Sky Island Forest.
The time they said they had to leave is actually quite long. The time they can enter Sky Island Forest through the competition cannot exceed one hundred years. After one hundred years, they must leave. If they still want to stay here, they can You have to go out and participate in a new round of competitions of corresponding levels.
Therefore, the rotation of monks in Sky Island Forest is based on a cycle of one hundred years.
Li Dai roughly calculated that there would be 100 people in one year, 1,000 in 10 years, and almost 10,000 in 100 years.
Therefore, the population of Kongdao Forest that moves through competitions is only about 10,000 people.
However, these do not include the people and monsters of Kongdao Lin City. When Kongdao Lin was not open to the outside world, the population of the city itself was not small. It might even be more than Li Dai expected, and it was much larger than those who came in through other means. Many times more.
According to the estimation of Meng Ran and others, it is probably a few million at least.
As for the floating population, in addition to the Liushuang people who came through the competition, Kongdao Lin also extended invitations to people from other regions and cities in Cangyun Continent. That is, after becoming VIPs of the seven major chambers of commerce, they can spend money in other branches of the seven major chambers of commerce. When you reach a certain amount, you can get a black brand like Li Dai.
The status of those who enter the Sky Island Forest through the black brand is only slightly higher than that of those who enter the Liushuang Empire through martial arts competitions. However, it is only this high, but they can obtain the right to live in the Sky Island Forest forever, and there is not even a one-hundred-year requirement. Leave settings.
However, the right of residence obtained by owning a black brand is only for those who own the brand. If you want to completely settle in Kongdao Forest, and even your own descendants will not be expelled, you must make a huge contribution to Kongdao Forest. .
Or the child you give birth to has the right of residence only if he has heavenly spiritual roots.
And any generation of your descendants who do not have Tianling roots will be expelled.
Although the owner of the black brand is apparently a distinguished customer of the Chamber of Commerce, he is not really that expensive.
But just because Kongdao City has such strict rules, most of the people who can stay are more capable.
The rules of Sky Island Forest are not only cruel to outsiders, but also to its original residents.
Although the descendants of the aboriginal residents will not be like the owners of the black brand who only retain their spiritual roots, those who do not have spiritual roots can only be mortals. It doesn’t matter how well-connected you are, or how awesome your father or grandfather is ( In fact, there are still very few privileges, and you have no choice but to get out.
The mortals who left Sky Island Forest naturally settled in Liushuang Empire and let the empire manage them.
As a result, Kongdao Forest has granted special privileges to the residents of the Liushuang Empire. The one hundred quotas per year have to do with the fact that the mortals who go out of Kongdao Forest need the empire's care.
In Kongdao Forest, there is only one city, Kongdao City, but the area of this city is quite large. It is estimated that it is several million square meters, which may be equivalent to half of the area of Hua Kingdom in Li Dai's previous life.
It is also because of this that although Sky Island City has a large population, its population density is not large. For now, the resources are still sufficient.
However, the millions of square meters are only for the Sky Island City, and no one knows how big the Sky Island Forest is. At least Meng Ran and others have not visited the Sky Island Forest for three years.
Then again, in addition to the original residents of Kongdao Forest, if we only talk about outsiders, apart from those like Li Dai who have black brands, Meng Ran and others who have obtained white brands through competitions, there is another kind of person, and that is the person who has a gold brand. people.
People with golden plaques are the real guests of the seven major chambers of commerce. Not only do they enjoy the same rights of residence as the aborigines, they even have much greater privileges than ordinary aborigines in some aspects. I heard that the seven major chambers of commerce, The total number of gold medals leaked out is less than thirty, which means that almost every chamber of commerce only leaks three or four gold medals.
Not to mention those things, in short, Kongdao City is a city with relatively clear-cut classes, and the levels of residents are particularly clear. People like Meng Ran who only have the right to live for a hundred years, and even the descendants of Tianlinggen children do not Those who are allowed to continue living are considered to be the lowest status people in Kongdao Lin.
And Li Dai came in with a black brand. Her status was outside Kongdao Forest, and her status was respected among the seven major chambers of commerce branches in Cangyun Continent. But in Kongdao Forest, the center of the chamber of commerce, the black brand only represented ordinary members of the chamber of commerce. , and it’s no longer noble.
The status of the seven major chambers of commerce in Sky Island Forest is extremely high, because the powerful powers of the ten directions who can protect and intimidate those who come from all directions are all members of the seven major chambers of commerce, and the seven major chambers of commerce are just as Li Dai thought. They are also blooming in other parts of Cangyun Continent. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the seven major chambers of commerce can be said to be the largest chambers of commerce in Cangyun Continent.
The good things obtained by those branch chambers of commerce must be handed over, so the seven major chambers of commerce in Kongdao Forest can gather so many good things and attract so many talents.
Well, I forgot to mention that if Meng Ran becomes a Taoist couple in Kongdao Forest, and the child has a spiritual root, although he cannot use his father's relationship to stay, if within a hundred years, his father makes the ultimate achievement in Kongdao Forest, If the child makes a big contribution and is willing to sell himself to the seven major chambers of commerce, he can have the right of residence.
In short, on the surface, the rules seem to be strict, but in fact, there are loopholes that can be exploited. It depends on how capable you are and whether you want to give up freedom.
And those who sell themselves to the seven major chambers of commerce do not have no chance of leaving. When you can reach the level of an elder of the seven major chambers of commerce, you can gain freedom.
However, being able to become an elder of the seven major chambers of commerce gives you very high rights and freedoms in the chamber of commerce, and there must be no one who can't think of quitting.
So it’s almost the same whether there are rules or not.
Not to mention that, Li Dai learned about the situation in Kongdao Forest, and Meng Ran also said so much, which naturally had a purpose.
Therefore, Meng Ran looked at Li Dai and said:
"Fellow Daoist Li, how did you enter here?"
Li Dai didn't think too much and just took out the black sign.
As soon as the sign came out, Meng Ran and others were surprised and said with some envy:
"It seems that Li Daoyou's family outside must be very rich. I know that to obtain this black brand, you have to spend hundreds of millions of spiritual stones at the Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the Chamber of Commerce will not give you the brand. "
Li Dai smiled:
"No, this brand is not mine. It was given by a friend. Oh, it should have been lent to me temporarily by a friend." Thinking about how rare this brand is, Li Dai thought about returning this thing to Shen Xiaoyun after she left five years ago. At that time, seeing how lightly he gave it to her, she had no idea that it was worth hundreds of millions of spiritual stones.
For Li Dai, apart from the mining pig that was sleeping soundly and exhaling spiritual energy, the only thing left in her New Territory space was Cui Ziyang's tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones to repay her debt.
Compared with the number of 100 million, she is still too poor.
Hearing that it was a gift from a friend, Meng Ran and others were even more surprised and said with some envy:
"Your friend is so generous."
"Yes!" Li Dai nodded. At this time, she also felt that Shen Xiaoyun was quite generous.
"But now that you have come here, no matter how long or short you want to stay, you need to apply for a residence permit. Without a residence permit, you have no identity, and your personal safety is not guaranteed. You cannot enter the Chamber of Commerce to buy what you want. Something you want.”
After hearing this, Li Dai asked a lot about the residence permit.
"With a black card, you can apply for a permanent residence permit or a temporary one." Meng Ran added.
Li Dai smiled and nodded, realizing that the captain Meng Ran talked a little too much, but what he said was exactly what she needed.
"Where can I get a residence permit?" she asked.
"It's very simple. You just need to go to Wujiang Pavilion with the sign to apply for it. That's the place where Kongdao City specializes in applying for various certificates."
"Yes, black-brand residents can apply for a permanent residence permit. Like the places we obtained through the competition, only white-brand residents can apply for a white card. If you are a black-brand resident, you can apply for a black card. The resident level is higher than ours."
When it came to the level of residents, when Li Dai looked confused, Meng Ran continued to talk a lot.
It turns out that the residents of Sky Island City are divided into seven levels: white, black, red, cyan, purple, gold, and diamond.
White is the lowest and diamond is the highest.
But nowadays, people with gold and diamond status are pitifully rare.
And Meng Ran and others have also heard that although most of the rules do not allow mortals without spiritual roots to live in Sky Island City, if you upgrade your status to the diamond level, such as the Ten Directions Great Power of Sky Island City, Then their descendants, even if they are mortals, will not be expelled. However, those who can become the descendants of the Ten Directions Powers of Sky Island City will almost all have spiritual roots. Even if there are a few who do not, they will leave automatically. , because Jingui’s background does not destined them to live a peaceful life, let alone an empty island city without mortals.
So far, there seems to be only one person who refuses to leave, but Meng Ran and others don't know who it is.
For the only mortal in Kongdao City, the boss's attitude was to protect his son. He couldn't practice anyway, and his son would die in a hundred years. Since his son didn't want to leave, he would protect him.
These are the versions circulating in Sky Island City.
Through Meng Ran's words, Li Dai also learned that the higher the residence level, the greater the power, and the more precious things that can be purchased from the seven major chambers of commerce.
These status levels can all be upgraded by contributing to Sky Island City. However, the lower the level, the more difficult it is to move up. Like Meng Ran and others, if they want to stay in Sky Island City forever, they must do There are a lot of tasks, and you may have to do them for a hundred years. Without practicing, you can't upgrade yourself from a white-level resident to a black-level resident.
Therefore, after Li Dai said she would leave after five years, in Meng Ran's view, she might be like himself and others in that she could not be upgraded and should always be a black-level resident.
Most of the residents of the red and green classes are the aborigines of Kongdao City. As soon as they are born, if their spiritual roots are good, such as those with single or double spiritual roots, they can have a blue resident ID card. Ordinary Those with spiritual roots will have red-level resident ID cards, while those without spiritual roots will be expelled.
As for the aboriginal residents of Kongdao Forest, they also have to do tasks to improve their resident status, but compared to outsiders like Meng Ran and Li Dai, the tasks are relatively simpler. If Meng Ran and others do the tasks diligently, it will take about one hundred and fifty. If it takes ten years to level up, then it would take the natives about seventy or eighty years to level up, which is half as easy.
But generally speaking, upgrading becomes more difficult as you go to the later stage. Therefore, from birth, if you have good spiritual roots and a good background, such as the descendants of the seven major chambers of commerce, your upgrade will be faster. If you use your own resources and dedicate your contribution to your children and grandchildren, your children's status will naturally be easily promoted, and they can reach the purple level and gold level.
Those who can reach the purple level and gold level are considered "nobles" in Sky Island City.
However, the titles of these "nobles" are not permanent, and nobles are also divided into local nobles and foreign nobles.
There are many local nobles and few foreign nobles.
Those foreign nobles, that is, those with gold medals, are the top guests of the seven major chambers of commerce. Therefore, when they stay in Sky Island City, they are also labeled as nobles, but they are still inferior to the local ones.
The reason why these noble titles are not permanent is because later on, if your descendants have poor spiritual roots and you don’t have much contribution value to dedicate to your descendants, then it is very likely that the descendants of the nobles will slowly become commoners. They are no different from ordinary red-level residents.
Even if you make a mistake, you will be demoted to a black and white body.
Anyway, after understanding it, all in all, Li Dai, a black-level resident, has become a lower-level existence than most of the original red-level residents.
Li Dai didn't have any strong feelings about these levels of Sky Island Forest.
After all, no matter in Cangyun Continent in the past life or in this life, levels have always existed.
Just be black citizens. It won't have any impact anyway. Li Dai has no intention of upgrading the resident level for the time being.
But when it came to the gold medal, Li Dai glanced at the little Luo Butou who had been following her. It seemed that when the restriction was broken, the little guy was holding a gold medal, so the royal members of the Liushuang Empire were considered empty. The island city's foreign nobles.
And the ruler of Liushuang Empire can give a golden plaque to a child with five spiritual roots, which shows that he truly loves this little guy.
Not to mention that, everyone who knew it knew it. Li Dai followed Meng Ran and others all the way, and then realized that they were collecting nectar. Naturally, Li Dai couldn't help but asked curiously.
Meng Ran patted his head and looked regretful: "Look at me, I'm just talking to you about some nonsense, and you don't even know the important point."
As he spoke, he explained the mission this time.
"The place we came to this time is mainly the Honey Flower Mountain in Kongdao Forest, which specializes in collecting the nectar of spiritual flowers. The reward for this task is not bad. If you collect a jar of honey, you can not only get a thousand high-grade spiritual stones, but also buy the nectar we need. Jingjing Marrow Washing Pill is a pill that can improve the purity of our monks’ spiritual roots. The main purpose of us outsiders entering Kongdao Forest is this.”
"The Essence Marrow Cleansing Pills are only available in Kongdao City and are not for sale to the outside world. A hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stone is effective within ten pills taken by a monk. After taking ten pills, most of them can increase the purity of their spiritual roots to 100%. About eighty."
Li Dai was shocked. As a ninth-level spiritual alchemist, she had never heard of Jingjing Marrow Cleansing Pills. However, ordinary Marrow Cleansing Pills were effective for the first time but basically ineffective after the third time. , and most of the marrow-washing pills wash away body impurities. I haven’t heard of marrow-washing pills for washing spiritual roots.
Li Dai's interest was completely piqued.
This Essence Marrow Cleansing Pill was probably created by some alchemist, so she wouldn't know.
For the first time, Li Dai felt that there were really many talented people in Cangyun Continent.
Moreover, a jar of spiritual nectar is equivalent to a thousand high-grade spiritual stones. From the outside, this is indeed a sky-high reward. She has never heard of any monk who can achieve such a big harvest after completing the task.
Suddenly, Li Dai felt that she was not rich even though she had tens of millions of dollars. How could she break it?
"Well, after three years of doing the mission, we have earned enough spiritual stones to buy Essence Marrow Cleansing Pills."
After finishing speaking, another girl named Gu Xin from the wealth-seeking team answered with a sense of pride in her tone.
"We have had a good harvest this time. We have collected three jars of spiritual nectar." Three thousand high-grade spiritual stones can be divided among seven people, which is quite a lot.
As for Li Dai, who just joined and has not officially participated in this mission, she naturally has no distribution rights.
Li Dai also understood this. She was grateful to the rich-seeking team for knowing so much about Kongdao Forest this time, and of course she didn't want to take advantage.
Since this mission had been out for a long time, and Li Dai had not yet applied for an ID card, Meng Ran organized everyone to leave together.
Well, back to the city.
The little carrot head Ao Qiyong was also quiet, following Li Dai like a little tail.
The return to the city was relatively fast. Li Dai got on the flower boat of Meng Ran, the captain of the wealth-seeking team, and returned to Sky Island City in just one day.
However, when entering the city gate, another wave of people happened to come across. That wave of people saw the wealth-seeking team, and the leading bald monk came over with his members.
It was menacing and seemed to be coming with bad intentions.
