Chapter 256: Gains and Losses
Entering Fang City, it is difficult to find too many familiar traces where you can see them.
The once scattered houses of the outer city are already in shambles, some demolished and some rebuilt, and all kinds of houses are crowded together, like a slum.
Xu Yuan's home is among them.
According to what he said, the Hanhai Chen family was backstabbed before, and the Righteous Path Alliance was defeated like a mountain, and it was only when they retreated to this part of East Lake that they could gain a firm foothold.
What followed was naturally a series of onslaughts from the Immortal Sect that took advantage of the situation.
Shui Tianfang is no exception.
It is said that two Jindan Zhenren of the Immortal Sect led thousands of immortal cultivators of the Immortal Sect, among which there were nearly ten immortal cultivators in the Foundation Realm.
After several months of fighting, the monks of the Righteous Path Alliance stationed in Shuitianfang almost struggled to support it for several months.
If it weren't for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, the fall of Shuitianfang would be almost inevitable.
Even so, the attacking Immortal Sect team was not defeated and annihilated, but just calmly retreated and moved to the Jingmen battlefield.
That is, now, the place where the confrontation between the Immortal Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance is fighting.
Since the Hanhai Chen family backstabbed the Righteous Dao Alliance, resulting in the rout of the Righteous Dao Alliance, the Jingmen battlefield has become one of the main battlefields for the confrontation between the two sides.
In the entire Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Immortal Sect and the Righteous Dao Alliance, which each accounted for half of the rivers and mountains, set off round after round of bloodshed in the inconspicuous land of Jingmen.
So far, there is still no result.
"Here it is."
Pointing to a low wooden room in front of him, Xu Yuan looked a little embarrassed.
The wooden houses were low, more dilapidated than the shanty wooden houses he had seen in Yuning Town.
He looked around, most of them were low-level cultivators like the residents of Yuning Town at the beginning.
Right now, although Xia Yu's mana is low, he is only a seventh-level qi practitioner, but Xu Yuan, a kid who has a perfect qi practice, why does he still live in such a depressed place.
As if sensing Chu Mu's incomprehension, Xu Yuan hurriedly explained: "This place is not conspicuous, it is very close to the outside of Fang City, if there is any situation, you will have time to react." ”
Immediately, Xu Yuan immediately added: "However, in the next few days, it is estimated that I will move inside." ”
"Why move in?"
"A few days ago, I signed an employment contract with the Righteous Path Alliance, and I plan to get some tasks and save some contributions."
Xu Yuan took out a palm-sized jade piece and handed it to Chu Mu.
"This is a contract liaison order, and you can get one after signing an employment contract."
"It is said that as long as you are within a radius of two hundred miles from each square city of the Righteous Path Alliance, without being disturbed, this contract contact order can accept all the employment tasks and reward news from the center of the Righteous Path Alliance."
Speaking, under Xu Yuan's manipulation, one side of the jade card turned into a screen, as if the existence of a smartphone in the previous life, and information was also reflected on the screen.
There are dense all kinds of mercenary tasks, as well as the most important contribution treasure trove, a wide variety of treasures, all clearly marked with the contribution value required for exchange.
The Contribution Treasury is like some shopping malls in the previous life, where the prices of the goods are clearly marked, but the Contribution Treasury of the Righteous Dao Alliance is needed...... It is a contribution, and it is a dedication to the Righteous Path Alliance.
Chu Mu was slightly surprised, took the token and looked at it, still unable to hide his surprise.
With his knowledge, it is not difficult to see what is intrinsic to this contract contact order.
The token is made of jade, and the jade is just a very ordinary ordinary spiritual jade, and the first-order low-grade spiritual materials, in addition to the spiritual ore produced, can usually be refined from mundane mortal things, which is very cheap.
Lingyu is cheap, but ...... The system behind this piece of spiritual jade is not cheap at all.
There was nothing else on the jade plaque, just an ordinary display array forbidden inscription, and a rather special array forbidden.
In alchemy, this special formation forbidden has a professional term called ...... Vientiane Array Forbidden, which means all-encompassing.
Its main function is to receive information from various centers like a signal receiver in the previous life.
That is what Xu Yuan said, but all the Fang markets within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Dao Alliance, within a radius of two hundred miles, can receive the source of the information.
Its principle is basically equivalent to the network information system of the previous life, and this contract contact order is equivalent to a simple mobile phone.
With this system, it is completely possible to achieve a network information system that covers the whole world like in the previous life.
It's just that to achieve such a scale, the cost is naturally extremely expensive.
Moreover, the most important thing is that even in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the distance of information transmission is limited, and even if it is only the Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is extremely vast.
The limited distance of information transmission, coupled with the extremely vast territory, to achieve this, it means that countless information relay artifacts are needed to be placed in various parts of Dachu to carry out the flow of information.
But with the environment of the immortal cultivation world, this is obviously difficult to do, after all, for immortal cultivators, the vast mountains and rivers of Dachu are only useful for spiritual veins and all kinds of spiritual mineral resources.
The tentacles of domination only spread around the various spiritual veins, and no one cared about the vast secular world where the spiritual energy was barren and there were no resources.
With such a ruling structure, outside the Fang City, it is secular and a place outside the law of the immortal cultivation realm.
It is obviously impossible to establish an information dissemination system covering the entire Great Chu, such a situational environment.
Moreover, the most common and most popular information transmission instrument in the world of immortal cultivation is the transmission note, which makes this kind of limited existence, rather than this kind of information transmission system with a central coordination.
The reason for this is obviously very simple.
After all, the principle of the information flow of the transmission note and the transmission order is one-way, two-way, or multi-directional direct communication.
There is no transfer in the middle, and there is no artificial center, and the outgoing information is only a momentary time, which is basically difficult to intercept and peep.
And this kind of covering information system, there is a transfer and a center, which means that any piece of information in it is stored, and it can naturally be consulted and peeped at.
Moreover, this possibility is very big, very big.
Any relay, any storage hub, is risky.
With the vigilance of immortal cultivators, this alone is basically doomed, unless it is a mandatory internal connection of the major forces, otherwise, it will be difficult to be accepted at all.
However, it is undeniable that this kind of information system, in which the technical content is extremely high, and the knowledge system contained in it is also extremely huge.
Just like the puppeteer, it is a branch system subdivided from the refining system, and it also integrates the knowledge system of the Fu Seal, which is completely self-contained, and is one of the arts that belongs to the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.
If he hadn't obtained the all-encompassing General Compendium of Refining Weapons that originated from the Immortal Dao Sect, it would have been difficult for him to have any insight into this aspect.
After being surprised, Chu Mu inevitably felt a little pity.
If such a system can be established that covers the entire immortal cultivation world, it will obviously be tantamount to a revolution for the Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The changes brought about are bound to be earth-shaking.
It's just that such an information system is ...... That's all it does......
"This thing is quite magical, Brother Mu, you see, there is a new task, this Tsukidan who contributed to the treasure house, there were one hundred and one just now, and now there are only ninety-five left......"
Xu Yuan manipulated this contract liaison order while introducing it with some fuss.
Chu Mu didn't reply, and silently looked at the exchangeable treasures that contributed to the treasure house.
Like this information system, this treasure trove of contributions is also all-encompassing.
All kinds of elixirs, elixirs, spiritual materials, magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and spiritual weapons with different effects......
Just between these few breaths introduced by Xu Yuan, he saw several spiritual materials that he needed.
"You need to complete a mission every year, have you completed this year's mission?"
After a while, Chu Mu looked at Xu Yuan and asked.
"Not yet, still thinking about it."
"It's okay to be cautious and stay safe."
One word of advice, Chu Mu didn't say anything more.
Anyway, he is also a Taoist couple, and he is still a father, and he can't arrange everything as usual.
"Don't worry, Brother Mu."
Xu Yuan smiled, pushed open the door, and several people walked into the room.
This time, Chu Mu didn't stay too long, and after learning about many things in the immortal cultivation world in recent times, he walked out of Xu Yuan's house and went straight to the inner neighborhood market.
As Xu Yuan said, today's Shuitianfang has completely changed its nature.
Most of the immortal cultivators on the street were dressed in standard robes, and they were obviously monks from various families of the Righteous Path Alliance.
If you use secular comparison, the current Shuitianfang has transformed from a prosperous place where business and travel gather to a military location where heavy troops gather.
It's just that the war in the immortal cultivation world is obviously completely different from the secular war.
There is no so-called gain or loss of one city or one place, and there are only annihilation of the enemy's living forces.
Of course, there is one thing, but it is very obvious.
Just like the secular wars he saw along the way, this war in the immortal cultivation world, the fight of countless immortal cultivators, does not seem to have much significance.
The final outcome of this war obviously depends on the existence of those legends that stand at the top of the Immortal Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance...... Those high-ranking monks who look down on all beings.
The victory or defeat between those legends is the ultimate victory or defeat in this war.
Otherwise, even if this war continues and all the low-level monks on the other side are wiped out, as long as those legendary battles do not distinguish the winner or loser, then this war will obviously not be able to end.
Judging from the situation he understands now, in this war, the top legends of the Immortal Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance exist, and it is obvious that there is no winner or loser, and it seems that some kind of tacit understanding has been formed.
Will be against general, king against king.
The immortal cultivators who really appeared on the battlefield, the highest cultivation, seemed to be only Jindan Zhenren.
Moreover, under this tacit understanding, on the battlefield, there is basically a competition of the same level.
Jin Dan Zhenren to Jindan Zhenren, Foundation Building Monk to Foundation Building Monk, Qi Practicing Monk to Qi Practicing Monk.
In each realm, there are battlefields belonging to each realm, although they are one, but under this tacit understanding of generals and kings, they all do not interfere with each other.
It's a bit hard to understand, but obviously, it seems to make sense.
After all, if there is no tacit understanding, both sides will run amok......
Even if it was a cultivation like him who had just entered the Foundation Building Realm, before his mana was exhausted, it would be almost an easy slaughter against the Qi Cultivation Realm.
If it is a legendary Yuanying real person, who does not pay attention to the rules and runs rampant, then for the entire immortal cultivation world, I am afraid it will be a doomsday catastrophe.
After all, within the same realm, if one mind is hiding and playing a scoundrel, it is not that the cultivation means are too bad, it is basically equal to ...... No solution!
And the existence of the legend of Yuanying Monk is obviously already the top of the Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm......
His thoughts flowed, and in the end, Chu Mu also stopped in front of a large hall at the end of Fang City.
Temple of Contribution.
The three quaint characters on the plaque are very simple and clear.
The immortal cultivators who enter and leave the main hall are also endless.
Chu Mu groaned slightly, and before entering Fang City, the question that haunted his heart resurfaced again.
As soon as the chaos started, it exceeded his expectations and swept the entire Great Chu Cultivation Immortal Realm.
And what he has seen and heard since he left the customs has also proved that the facts are true.
The entire Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm is basically in the midst of war, even if it has not been affected by the war, it will inevitably be affected accordingly, and it is difficult to exist in absolute peace.
His previous idea of avoiding disaster was undoubtedly directly extinguished at the source.
Since it is the same everywhere he goes, it is obvious that he has to think about how to seek greater benefits for himself in this troubled world.
After all, stepping into the foundation building realm, for him, it is basically a new reincarnation, and there is not much difference between the poverty and destituteness when he first entered the immortal path.
He has very few of the huge resources he needs to build a foundation for cultivation.
And with his spiritual root qualifications, without the assistance of sufficient resources, the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building is estimated to be the end.
In troubled times, there are countless opportunities.
The employment contract that we know at the moment is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the vast majority of casual practitioners.
For him, obviously, too.
As for the risks......
In the path of scattered cultivation, where can there be things that can benefit without taking risks?
He pondered for a moment, the benefits and losses flowed in his heart, and then, one step later, he stepped into this hall of contribution.
At the same time, the convergence of the foundation building realm cultivation was undisguised at the same time.
At this moment, the faces of the many immortal cultivators who were still traveling with them changed greatly, and they respectfully gave way to the road, and the originally bustling flow of people was instantly empty.
As soon as Chu Mu stepped into the hall, a woman wearing the robe of the Righteous Path Alliance hurriedly greeted him.
"Seniors are here to sign an employment contract with this alliance?"
Chu Mu bowed slightly, but he didn't deny it, and similarly, he didn't admit it.
"Seniors, please ......"
The woman raised her hand to the back hall with a respectful attitude.
Chu Mu nodded and looked around the entire hall, which was similar to the layout of the mission hall in the Jade Emperor Valley.
Huge screens are circled, messages flicker on the screens, and below the screens are counters that are also surrounded.
Behind the counter, a disciple of the Righteous Path Alliance dressed in a standard Dharma robe was busy.
In front of the counter, there are many immortal cultivators lining up in an orderly manner, and their cultivation is basically the existence of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he also had some understanding in his heart.
Just what I saw and heard in this Shuitianfang, it is not difficult to see that everything is in order.
A joint force that occupies most of the Great Chu Cultivation Immortal Realm can have everything in order in just two or three years.
It must be a good look, and it has been planned for a long time.
Everything also corresponds to the previous kind of open and secret fighting.
To the back hall, it is a bright room that can accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded, and the room furnishings are simple but exquisite.
A set of antique tables and chairs and furniture, which are elegantly arranged, in the corner of the room, there is a bronze incense burner, the faint fragrance is lingering, and it also gives people an inexplicable sense of refreshment.
"Senpai, please take a seat."
The woman led respectfully, beckoned to the door, and then, a woman dressed as a maid came with a tray.
Several kinds of spiritual fruits, snacks, and a pot of spiritual tea were also placed on the table beside Chu Mu.
The palace woman picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Chu Mu.
"This is the special product of this alliance, Qingning tea, which has the effect of calming the nerves, you can taste it."
Chu Mu took the tea, but he didn't taste it, but put it on the table.
Seeing this, the woman in the palace costume hurriedly took out two contracts and respectfully placed them in front of Chu Mu.
"Senior, this is the employment contract of this alliance, this is the guest contract of this alliance, senior, take a look at ......"
Chu Mu glanced at the woman, raised his hand and picked up the employment contract, which was very simple and had no difference from what Xu Yuan said.
The other book of guest contracts, with much more content, and more content naturally means more restrictions.
Of course, the treatment is much better.
In addition to the fixed spirit stones every month, you can also enjoy discounts on the exchange of items in the contribution treasury, and the selection of tasks can also be the same as the internal disciples of the Righteous Path Alliance, rather than the employment contract, which is almost like doing dirty work.
The gap is obvious, and how to choose is also very clear.
"I heard that you issued a new decree some time ago, saying that you can exchange spiritual veins?"
Chu Mu put down the guest contract, looked at the woman and asked.
The woman glanced at the guest contract that she had put down, her face did not change, and she was still respectful:
"Senior, you are right, according to the regulations of this alliance, if you have 100,000 contribution points, you can exchange it for a first-order low-grade spiritual vein."
"The location of the exchanged spiritual veins is random, but no matter whether it is the establishment of a family, a market, or a personal cultivation after the exchange of spiritual veins, there is a premise, that is, it is under the jurisdiction of this alliance."
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows: "In other words, the premise of exchanging spiritual veins is to join the Righteous Dao Alliance?" ”
"Yes, but this alliance is established in the form of an alliance, and it is extremely lenient for the families affiliated with this alliance........."
Chu Mu smiled, and didn't say much, and when his divine sense moved slightly, he directly fell into the name of Chu Mu in this employment contract.
As for the spiritual veins......
He was a little moved, after all, a spiritual vein meant a force, a cornucopia.
It's just that he doesn't like to be constrained by people.
Moreover, the value of the contribution is still unclear, and it is still too early for now.
"This is your contract liaison order, senior."
The woman took the contract and respectfully handed over a token.
"According to the regulations of this alliance, you are a senior who is building a foundation realm, so it is a first-class contract liaison order, and you can consult information in the Shadow Hall of this alliance for free once a year as a mission guide."
"Moreover, the first-class contract liaison order also has the authority to issue tasks in the mission hall of the Alliance, and it can also be ......"
The woman spoke in a clear manner, and Chu Mu looked at the contract contact order with interest.
Compared with Xu Yuan's one, the material is obviously much higher, and in the divine sense, there are more than two array bans on the jade plate.
During the observation, as if he had noticed something, the corners of Chu Mu's mouth raised slightly, and a faint smile also appeared.
In this contract contact order, there are a series of prohibitions such as positioning, perception and monitoring.
With him, it is equivalent to the information network era in the previous life, and there is no privacy at all......
"Senior, this first-class contract liaison order also has the effect of monitoring and positioning, mainly to facilitate the recording of certain tasks when you perform certain tasks, so as to facilitate the approval of rewards."
"Senior, you can put it in the storage space on weekdays, so that you can isolate the positioning and monitoring ......"
As if sensing the change in Chu Mu's expression, the woman hurriedly explained.
Chu Mu smiled, casually put the token into the storage talisman, and without saying a word, he got up and walked directly out of the room......
……
The big chapter of five thousand four, asking for a monthly ticket.
