Through Li Shuang's explanation, Cheng Hao somewhat figured it out.

Today's Lixia Ridge in the south, that is, the place of death that Cheng Hao knew back then, has a much better environment than 10,000 years ago.

Although tornadoes are still raging on a regular basis, and there is still a huge contrast between the temperature of the ground and the sky, volcanic eruptions are much less frequent and much smaller in scale.

With the exception of a few large volcanoes that were notorious 10,000 years ago, most of them are dormant and have not unleashed their terrifying powers for thousands of years.

But even then, the sky over Lixia Ridge is often gray, shrouded in a blur of volcanic dust.

As a result, no matter what crops are artificially planted on the Lixia Ridge side, the harvest is very small, or even not viable at all.

But the wonderful thing is that even in such a harsh environment, there is a pure land-like place in the south, that is, Lixia Ridge.

Lixia Ridge was also the location of a huge volcano that Cheng Hao knew about back then, and the huge volcanic mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles is now completely extinguished.

Instead of roaring and spewing lava into the sky, it is the volcanic rock that has flowed down over the years that has created a unique feature and specialty of the region, which is obsidian.

Obsidian, a unique stone formed from high-temperature lava, is not only extremely strong, but also can easily transmit aura, making it a good thing to build warrior weapons and armor.

Of course, although obsidian is relatively hard, the hardness of most obsidian is limited after all, and it cannot meet the needs of powerful warriors.

So obsidian is usually doped with other metals

Together, they created armor weapons, of course, in order to get obsidian's powerful aura conduction (xìng).

It is said that weapons and armor fused with obsidian will be a good thing of famous quality at worst.

It is also an indispensable addition to create Lingbao today.

Cheng Hao knows this, after all, in the era of 10,000 years ago, obsidian was a good thing to create spiritual treasures, and it also led to many powerful warriors who went to the southern death to risk in order to get obsidian, of course, there were many people who died in the southern death.

It's just that now (qíng) is different, the south has completely become the territory of the Lixia Mountains, and they control and monopolize almost all the obsidian trade in the human world.

This led to the fact that although the environment in Lixia Ridge was harsh, there was no shortage of material money and silver, as long as they mined obsidian to exchange with people from the outside world.

Cheng Hao heard this and asked, "In that case, isn't your Lixia Ridge a big mine?"

"Mine?" Li Shuang thought about it and nodded: "You can also say that, there is not as much professional division of labor in our Lixialing Hundred Divisions as you said, and we are farmers, businessmen and officials, our side is very simple, in fact, there are only two classes, one is a warrior like me, who is also a manager, and the other is a slave who is responsible for mining ore, that is, ordinary people who cannot cultivate martial arts." ”

After hearing the word slave, Cheng Hao was slightly unhappy, but he didn't show it, and continued to ask: "So, what if there are people who can cultivate martial arts among the descendants of slaves?"

"Then naturally you will also become a martial artist!" Li Shuang said very reasonably

Of course: "For example, I am, my father and mother are both ordinary miners, but I have a talent for cultivation since I was a child, and I was ...... by my master and his old man."

Speaking of this, she looked at Chongyu Pei, and felt (qíng) that she was still a disciple of Chongyu Pei.

(shēn) is a disciple of the previous patriarch, and his status should not be low.

"It was discovered and promoted by the old man of the master!" Li Shuang said this, looking very proud.

Cheng Hao frowned and said, "If that's the case, where will there be miners for a long time?"

Indeed, there is a Tao that is a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven, a person like Li Shuang, she has become a powerful martial emperor, it is impossible for his parents, brothers and miners, right?

If this continues for a long time, then wouldn't Lixialing all become warriors and their relatives?

"How could it be?" Li Shuang looked at Cheng Hao strangely: "My family has a martial artist like me, so naturally I am the only one who is a martial artist, and the others are still miners." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Hao was stunned.

Li Shuang nodded affirmatively: "What's wrong? Actually, my father and aunt have passed away twenty-five years ago." ”

Cheng Hao frowned and said, "What about your offspring? If you find that they don't have cultivation talent after giving birth to your offspring, what should you do?

"That's nature!" Li Shuang looked a little embarrassed after hearing the word descendant, and threw Cheng Hao a seductive look.

Cheng Hao was surprised: "Parents are powerful warriors, but children and grandchildren have to be hard miners?

"What's unwilling?" Li Shuang also looked at Cheng Hao strangely: "If they don't succeed, that's themselves."

Besides, even if I use my own strength to help them not have to work, what is the use? They don't live for twenty or thirty years before they die? Anyway, they are going to die early, so it is better to do more work, and save themselves from being idle and bored. ”

"Twenty or thirty years are going to die?" Cheng Hao was stunned, but then understood Li Shuang's attitude.

Indeed, the place of Lixia Ridge is different from the rest of the human world.

Although it is no longer the state where humans cannot survive as it was 10,000 years ago, after all, there are still many volcanic eruptions, and the sky and air are full of fine poisonous particles and volcanic ash.

This should be the ecology of Lixia Ridge, but it is a bit similar to the cursed Qiman clan.

Unless it is a strong and powerful martial artist, in such an environment, I am afraid that even a martial artist will not live long and will die of slow (xìng) poisoning.

And there is nothing to produce in Lixia Lingben (shēn), only one kind of obsidian, and the life span of people is short, so it naturally leads to the cultural development there is very backward and there is a lack of entertainment.

Those who live there are likely to have nothing to do in their lives other than work and the idea of a man and a woman.

Such a boring and hard life is really not worth nostalgia.

In such a peculiar environment, it will inevitably lead to indifference (qíng), and even the people close to you will be very indifferent......

Cheng Hao had seen a situation similar to Lixialing (qíng) before, that is, the Xiao people who survived in the Xiao Realm.

The environment of the Xiao Realm is countless times worse than that of Lixia Ridge, so the Xiao Clan controls the Six Realms under his Blue Emperor

Before, there wasn't even a concept of kinship (qíng......
