Seeing that the other party had picked for a long time, Xiao Tian knew that the other party definitely didn't have much to exchange, so he would hesitate and make a choice.

Xiao Tian took out some mid-to-low-grade talismans again, and reminded the other party: "Let's look at these talismans, I don't know what you plan to trade?"

Only then did the two of them react, and Dou Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"Don't tell the seniors, the two of us don't have many spirit stones, and the seniors who have magic weapons on their bodies definitely don't look down on them. The Gelaogu where we are located has very little spiritual energy, and there are no rare and exotic plants on the mountain, so it has been difficult for us to improve our cultivation. The reason why I dared to come to this Linwu meeting this time was because I got a strange book, and asked my seniors to see if this book was satisfactory. As he spoke, Dou Yuan took out a thickly bordered old book and handed it to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian took it and flipped through it roughly, and found that this was actually a book of arithmetic, which had nothing to do with cultivating immortals.

"Dou Daoyou, it seems that this is just a book for mortals to count?" Xiao Tian asked suspiciously.

"I also thought so when I first got it, and the seniors can inject some spiritual power and look at it again. Dou Yuan explained.

Xiao Tian injected some spiritual power into the book according to his words, and sure enough, the book underwent some changes, the original words disappeared, and new content appeared. Xiao Tian flipped through it, his face was full of doubt, and slowly re-read it from the first page.

After a long time, Xiaotian finally closed the book satisfied. He saw that this was indeed a book that explained mathematical calculations, but there were many things related to the cultivation of immortals. This book actually uses many things related to the immortal cultivation world to represent them all with number symbols, and then uses some formulas to describe the relationship between each other. For example, the mixing ratio of the raw materials of the elixir, the degree of refinement of the magic materials, the level of cultivation, and the amount of aura that should be required for different cultivations.

Looking at it this way, this is really a strange book, and it may be of great use to yourself. Think about your past life memories, there seems to be no concept of aura, but all kinds of strange things and techniques are not lost to the monk's supernatural powers, the technology of that world is based on mathematics, and almost everything is inseparable from the use of mathematics.

Wouldn't it be very convenient to be able to express the aura with precise numbers? You can find the problem by comparing the values, and if you can accurately find the problem in the future, whether it is cultivation or refining alchemy, you will be excited to think about it.

"This book is really interesting, but it doesn't seem to have a direct effect on cultivation, I don't know what you want to exchange it for?"

"If the seniors are willing, I want to use it for a hundred spirit stones, and how about adding some spirit stones in exchange for a magic weapon for the seniors?" Dou Yuan cautiously proposed, he also knew that there were probably not many people who were interested in this book, so he just raised a high price first, and it would be good to bargain later.

"A hundred can't be, fifty. "Xiaotian directly repaid half of the price.

"This..."Dou Yuan looked at the magic weapon on the table, lowered his head and thought about it, and then looked at those talismans with a reluctant expression.

"Alas, your book is the original, then as long as you can take out thirty spirit stones, I will suffer a loss and exchange a magic weapon with you. Xiao Tian knew that he didn't have enough spirit stones, so instead of waiting for him to pick out the talisman seal and wasting time, it was better to finish the business quickly.

In that case, thank you seniors. The two of them hurriedly took out the spirit stone, picked a magic weapon and said goodbye.

After the two left, Xiao Tian sat for a while, and couldn't help but fall into Chen Si. Why is Sanxiu so poor, the one surnamed Guan who met in Zhangzhou is also, and the things of one or two hundred spirit stones make their eyes straight. Although Xiao Tian was also very poor when he first started cultivating immortals, these people were more than ten years older than Xiao Tian, and Xiao Tian himself was worth thousands when he cultivated at the fourth or fifth level during the Qi cultivation period.

How did Xiao Tian know the helplessness of these loose cultivators, although the scattered cultivators were at ease, without the constraints of the door rules, and they didn't have to do any tasks, they also couldn't enjoy the protection of the sect. Xiao Tian felt that the task was troublesome, but the cultivators couldn't do it if they wanted to.

Wasn't Xiao Tian's first pot of gold also obtained from the refining task?

These low-level cultivators didn't have the opportunity to refine their weapons at all, and they didn't even have the opportunity to see the gate. If you can guard a medicine garden shop or something for the big faction, you can cultivate normally if you have nothing to do, and you can get some extra benefits and filial piety or something, all you have to do is to prevent others from making trouble, and usually you have to deal with some mortals.

The income of casual cultivation is extremely unstable, and if you find some rare herbs and ancient cultivation relics, you may be able to make a fortune, but usually you can't find magic weapons, pills, talismans, and spirit stones. Many casual cultivators can only do some things for the powerful of mortals, and take the gold and silver to exchange for spirit stones on the black market.

Not to mention the dangers that casual cultivators usually face, there are many monks who kill people and sell goods, and no one cares about them except for chivalrous people like Master. Once a low-level casual cultivator is targeted, he may be in a different place at any time. Therefore, casual cultivators usually only move within the area where they live, and are basically in a state of seclusion. They also didn't dare to cultivate in places where the aura was very strong, because the stronger the aura, the more demon beasts and powerful cultivators came.

These predicaments continue to circulate, making their situation worse and worse, and apart from some crazy people who can hang up, there is basically no future for casual cultivation.

But why don't the loose cultivators join the Great Gate Sect? Xiao Tian thought about it for a long time, and couldn't figure it out. Doesn't the sect want them? It's like the Yuanxu Sect to which he belongs, doesn't he still force the disciples in the cultivation period to accept disciples?

Of course, the various sects continue to accept disciples, but the number of recruits is limited, and they usually select those who come. On the one hand, it is to recruit some good talents and prevent indiscriminate use of resources, and on the other hand, it is to guard against those who have ulterior motives. There are no such problems with the apprentices recruited by the disciples, even if someone takes the concubine or something, the person who receives it is still beneficial to the sect.

Loose cultivators are fortunate enough to enter the various sects, and they are often just working as coolies for other people, and they are assigned all kinds of jobs that no one wants to do. But that's it, I still can't ask for it.

On the one hand, there is a shortage of people in all major sects, from talents to coolies; on the other hand, there are scattered cultivators in various places who want to get started but can't, and no one wants people with good talents to do coolies.

This phenomenon is really a bit strange, too strange, the operation efficiency of the entire immortal cultivation world is too low, and it is not even as good as that of mortals.

Xiao Tianxia made up his mind that if he could improve his cultivation in the future, he would definitely make changes in the immortal cultivation world. People with spiritual roots are naturally gifted compared to ordinary mortals, but these people can't get enough opportunities, let alone the common people.

Since immortal cultivators call themselves immortal masters, they should aim to be prosperous with the common people in the world.
