925, Holy Religion
Cultivation is illegal, and there is such a thing.
Although she and Yu Zhizhi had speculated about this before, after getting Qiu Chi's confirmation, Lingyu still felt ...... It's incredible.
"What did this holy religion rely on to make its fortune? Since cultivation is illegal, why would there still be a Yuanying Cultivator like you? What about the inside of the Holy Church? They can't help but cultivate? β
Qiu Chi sighed and said, "This starts with the history of the Lost Continent. Many years ago, the Lost Continent was not the Lost Continent. Suddenly, one day, the world changed drastically, and the Lost Continent broke away from the original world and arrived here. The sudden change caused the world to become chaotic, the original system collapsed, and the competition with the native continent here made the Lost Continent quickly fall into the flames of war. β
"The war lasted for more than a thousand years, and finally subsided, and it was the Holy Religion that won. The Holy Cult unified the Lost Continent and established a strict system here, firmly ruling the world. It was from that time that cultivation became illegal, and the Holy Sect claimed to the outside world that it was precisely because there was no standard for cultivation that it would cause troubled times. Therefore, they strictly stipulated that civilians were not allowed to cultivate, and only with their permission could they become monks. β
"Oh?" Lingyu thought about the people with aura she saw in the market, "So, there are still privileged people, right?" Otherwise, there is no catharsis for demand. β
"Yes. Scholars and officials can cultivate, and every year, the Holy Sect will conduct a unified assessment, and those who pass the guΓ² assessment can enter the Holy Sect and obtain the qualification for cultivation. β
Lingyu nodded. Strictly blocked the road of self-cultivation, and opened the window for assessment, so as to come. People's cultivation needs have an outlet for catharsis. Everyone will be the first to pass the guΓ² assessment. Instead of choosing to rebel.
The so-called battle against the odds is because people who have no way back can burst out with infinite courage and move forward bravely. And if you ambush on all sides, leaving an exit, you will be defeated.
Because there is such a way out as the guΓ² assessment, the forces of resistance have never been able to organize. And when those who have attained cultivation become the recipients of the established benefits, they will in turn maintain this system.
No wonder this holy religion. Can rule the Lost Continent for so many years.
"What about you? Who is it? I don't have a cultivation license, right? β
Qiu Chi said lightly: "Where there is light, there is shadow, and we people are shadows living in the dark." The Holy Sect's enchantment covers every big city, but it is impossible to cover the entire Lost Continent, and we people have taken advantage of this loophole to become monks. And after becoming monks, without the corresponding status, even if we enter the Holy City, we can only hide in this small black market. Never seen the light of day like a mouse. Don't look at Boss Bai, they are majestic, if the Holy Sect really sweeps up. They will lose a qiΔ, and they will not even be able to save their lives. β
"In this environment, it's not easy to cultivate to the Yuan Infant."
The muscles on Qiu Chi's face trembled, as if he thought of something unbearable from the past.
When he was freed from this feeling, he saw Lingyu staring at him with scrutiny in his eyes.
"Senior......" he unconsciously shrank his pupils.
Lingyu smiled: "Tell me the truth, who are you?" β
Qiu Chi kept his mouth closed, as if he could not speak.
Lingyu's gaze cooled slightly, and he said softly: "It's not impossible to cultivate to Yuanying alone in the wilderness, however, your foundation is very strong, and it is impossible that there will be no one to guide you." β
Qiu Chi sighed, his tense muscles relaxed. He didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Seniors, monks from other places, are they much stronger than us?" β
"I haven't met a monk of the Holy Sect, I can't tell, but, with your Cheng DΓΉ, in the world I'm in, there shouldn't be a Yuan Infant who can't beat you."
Qiu Chi was silent and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough." β
The aura on Qiu Chi's body was not very stable, and Lingyu felt that when he broke through the Yuan Infant, he should have taken a trick, in short, he could not be regarded as a normal Yuan Infant Cultivator.
"Junior...... He is a traitor to the Holy Religion. Qiu Chi said softly, his gaze was unwavering, but it was obviously not the case, "When the foundation was built, the juniors betrayed the Holy Sect, and the later ones all cultivated on their own. β
Lingyu tilted his head and thought about it, and corresponded this statement to his aura condition: "I see. β
She didn't know if Qiu Chi was hiding anything else, but this sentence should have some credibility.
"So, when you return to the Holy City, do you have anything to do?" Lingyu asked with a smile.
Qiu Chi was silent for a while, and replied, "Can the junior not answer?" After thinking about it, he explained, "It's not that the juniors deliberately conceal it, but the juniors can't make decisions about this matter." β
Lingyu smiled: "Since you don't want to answer, then don't answer." Next question. She looked at Qiu Chi and asked, "If I want to find someone, what is the way?" β
Qiu Chi did not hesitate: "The senior can inform Boss Bai of the characteristics of the person he is looking for, he has a news channel in the black market of the entire Holy City, as long as he is in the Holy City, there is a seventy or eighty percent chance of finding it." β
"Thank you." Lingyu stood up, intending to leave. Walking to the door, she paused and asked with a smile, "Your last question, I will tell you two words, can you tell me what you have to associate with?" β
"Senior, please speak."
"Mystery."
Qiu Chi thought for a moment and shook his head: "The juniors can't think of it, they shouldn't have heard of it." β
"Okay, goodbye." Lingyu stepped out of the door without hesitation and went outside to find Boss Bai.
Boss Bai heard her request and agreed without hesitation.
Lingyu got some spiritual money from him by the way, and wanted to buy some things that could be used, so as to inquire about the situation.
Boss Bai responded to his requests, and even sent some treasures he thought he thought were up.
Lingyu rummaged through and picked up some good things.
According to Boss Bai, some time ago, there was a power struggle in the Holy Sect, and some nobles were dismissed and confiscated. Incidentally, they ate a lot of goods on the black market, such as the jade pendant made of Baoyu in her hand.
Boss Bai said proudly, although those people of the Holy Sect usually shouted to kill them thieves, none of them left the black market. Because only the black market can turn the black goods they embezzled into spirit stones.
That's right. Spirit stones are indeed controlled products. Especially the spirit stone above the medium grade. Boss Bai said. The unified currency of the Lost Continent is spiritual money, and the people in the government will have a part of the low-grade spirit stones for them to cultivate. Medium-grade or above spirit stones, that is the real contraband, even if the nobles with a high status, there will be no medium-grade spirit stones, it will only be issued to monks above the end of the mountain. It is not allowed to take it out for trading.
Spirit stones are extremely precious to any monk, and they will not trade them out at all. In the silver shop, a spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred spirit money, but the channel for spirit money to exchange spirit stones is not open at all. In the black market, a spirit stone can be exchanged for two hundred spirit money, and if you want to exchange spirit money for spirit stones, even if you mention three hundred spirit money, no one may necessarily change it.
Lingyu scolded secretly in her heart, the old man in the inn. It's so greedy!
As for spiritual weapons and magic weapons, that's not to mention. It's very tightly controlled. Only people in the government can distribute spiritual weapons according to the system, and magic weapons can only be possessed by those supreme monks who they can't see at all.
Even the spirit talismans, in the talisman shops in the entire holy city, you can only see the kind of auxiliary cleaning talismans, fresh-keeping talismans and the like, and at most there are defensive talismans to prevent the house from being attacked. Attack charms? Don't dream, don't talk about the Holy City, you can't find it in any immortal city!
Spirit grass can be bought, and monks who have permission to cultivate also need pills to assist.
"Boss Bai, your cultivation is not low, why can't you beat the people in the official mansion? Those little catchers are only Qi refining and cultivating, and you are a realm higher than others. β
The white boss, who was majestic in front of his subordinates, answered her questions respectfully.
The senior laughed. They are people in the government, they have public tokens in their hands, and they also have distributed spiritual weapons, which can attract the power of enchantments, how can we be opponents? β
"Oh......" Although Boss Bai didn't say it very clearly, Lingyu's mind turned, and he knew what he meant by this.
Public tokens, the kind of thing, seem to be able to circumvent some kind of restriction of enchantments.
It seems that it is necessary to get one, otherwise, she will not even hear a sound when she throws it into the water.
"Boss Bai, can you get anything here?"
"Of course!" Boss Bai boasted, "As long as the Holy City has it, we can get it on the black market!" β
"Then, get me a public token!"
Boss Bai was startled, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "Senior, just kidding, if I can get the public token, do I need to be afraid of catching it quickly?" This can't be touched, it really can't be touched. We do the black market, in the final analysis, to do things that are inconvenient for people in the public sector to do, because they need it, so we can survive. There are some things that must not be committed, and if you commit them, you can't live! β
Lingyu thought, this white boss is quite smart, no wonder the black panther can't play him. Ginger is still old and spicy, these truths can't be seen clearly, how can you gain a foothold in the black market?
However, does he know the origin of the predecessor who he regarded as the treasure of the town building?
Lingyu asked east and west, and Danat, just when Boss Bai was so distressed that he was about to drip blood, he threw out a small bag: "Oh, don't say that I don't look like a senior, this is a reward for you." Let's go. β
Under the envious gaze of Boss Bai, Lingyu put a bunch of things into the Qiankun bag, waved his hand, and went downstairs.
That's a storage weapon! Seniors are seniors!
Boss Bai picked up the small bag she threw and touched it casually, and his face immediately changed.
He eagerly pulled out the contents and laughed out loud.
Spirit stones, this is actually a bag of spirit stones!
It's going to be hundreds, right? Although his family business is not small, it is not easy to earn so many spirit stones! Didn't you see that the panther wanted to take away all his belongings, and only planned to give out three thousand spirit stones?
When the aura of the spirit jade disappeared in the black market, the green smoke curled in the closed cultivation room of the old way.
After some prayers, a hazy figure appeared in the green smoke.
"Qiu Chi, what do you report?" It's a slightly old female voice
Qiu Chi said respectfully: "Envoy, in the Holy City, a cultivator who claims to be from other realms has suddenly appeared, and there are other companions, I don't know if there is anything to use." β
"Oh? You elaborate. (To be continued......)
