Chapter 166: Resources, Desires

In the lush green grass, an old stone tablet stands, on which are written the four big characters of 'Liuyunfang City'.

The stele was covered with dark green moss, and it had been around for some years.

Jiang Chen's gaze moved away from the stone tablet and looked at the huge area in front of him. Obviously, this open area belongs to the scope of Liuyunfang City.

Of course, he hadn't yet reached the central area of Liuyunfang City, so Jiang Chen barely saw any Terran cultivators, and his vision was also a wilderness.

"Let's go. ”

Jiang Chen beckoned to the three of them, and his divine thoughts spread, and he found several cultivators a few miles away, hanging behind them far away, and then went to the central area of Liuyunfang City.

Gradually, Jiang Chen noticed that the aura of cultivators began to appear around him.

There are all kinds of houses scattered around, these houses range from thatched huts for solitary people to mansions and courtyards where groups live, and in addition, there are many caves where the aura of cultivators also emanates.

The formation of the three major markets of the Purple Mind Domain was originally due to the high concentration of casual cultivation in these three places, so it was not surprising that there were so many scattered cultivators living here.

After that, there were more and more cultivators in his field of vision, which made Jiang Chen know that he was not far from the central area of Liuyunfang City.

Sure enough, after crossing a big mountain again, there were many more figures in front of him all of a sudden, and among the connected mountains, buildings could be seen everywhere, and the people who came and went were cultivators in different costumes.

In the basin surrounded by several mountain peaks, thousands of monks weave through a bustling street of buildings.

The peaks are connected by thick iron cables to form an iron bridge, and some monks trample on the air and shuttle back and forth between several peaks.

There are also some buildings on several peaks that are significantly higher than the buildings in the basin below in terms of scale and shape, and the cultivators who come and go are much stronger than the cultivators below, and they are dressed in noble clothes.

Jiang Chen took the three of them and stepped into this gathering area of Terran monks who were completely unfamiliar to them.

Step into the bustling and wide streets, listen to the cries of vendors on both sides of the street, smell the aroma of food wafting in the air, and look at the many monks shuttling through the streets, shouting, selling, discussing, bargaining...... And so on.

"Come on, come on, the congenital-level wild beef that I just hunted this morning is absolutely fresh, absolutely delicious, and the qi and blood are absolutely sufficient, and only one low-grade spirit stone is needed for a pot~"

"Divine talisman, divine talisman, stick one to the leg, and you can travel thousands of miles a day congenitally! Palm thunder talisman, one is only the size of a palm, hidden in the palm of the palm, it is difficult to detect, it is a good thing to sneak attack and kill, one palm down, Kaiyuan Realm can't bear it! Don't miss it when you pass by, there is no such shop after this village!"

"One counts the long road of cultivation, the second counts the cause and effect, the third counts the three lifetimes, the third counts when the opportunity comes, the fourth counts where the Taoist companion is, and the fifth counts...... It only takes fifty lower-grade spirit stones to calculate once!"

"Lingyi Pavilion is a new product, with its own aura, men wear handsome and compelling, women wear fairy ......"

......

In a trance, Jiang Chen thought that he had not come to the Fang Market where cultivators had gathered, but was on the streets of the mortal city.

How to say it.

This Liuyunfang City, where cultivators gathered, was too humanly fireworks, and it was completely different from what he imagined.

If it weren't for the fact that the vast majority of the pedestrians who came and went were cultivators with real strength and were fake, Jiang Chen would definitely think that he was in the wrong place.

Of course, the scene in front of him was indeed very similar to the downtown of the mortal world, but these people who were trading were not mortals, they were all cultivators with cultivation, although most of them seemed to be only in the innate realm, and they had not even reached the innate realm.

And the currency they traded was not gold and silver coins, but one of the most common attributeless spirit stones in the cultivation world.

In fact, mortals also have spirit stones, and in their place, spirit stones have another name, that is, jade.

The jade contains the spirit, and the different ways of cultivation of mortals are difficult to use, so it has become a jade for play.

As the common currency of the cultivation world, the spirit stone is the most common kind of spiritual object, and according to the content of the spiritual energy in the stone, it is divided into low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.

One hundred lower-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one medium-grade spirit stone, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equal to one high-grade spirit stone, and one hundred high-grade spirit stones are equal to one top-grade spirit stone.

Basically, the spirit stones circulating in the market are all non-attribute spirit stones, while other spirit stones with attributes have already stepped into the ranks of preciousness, and basically will not be used as circulating currency.

"King, it's so fragrant!"

The black bear snorted and stared at the vendor who was selling wild beef, staring intently.

Jiang Chen glanced at a black ring on his left hand and smiled slightly: "Let's go, take you to experience what real eating is." ”

The vendor, who had been shouting for a long time, saw the bald man coming in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down and said with a smile: "Can a few guest officers eat some wild beef?

Hearing this, the Black Bear, the Bronze Demon, and the Ink Eyebrows all looked down at Jiang Chen.

The vendor blinked, looked at the three-foot-tall kid with some surprise, and immediately realized that he was the one in charge of the four.

"Let's try it in a pot first. Jiang Chen pretended to reach out and touch it in his arms, and then took out a spirit stone and threw it to the other party.

The vendor put the spirit stone in his arms, and smiled all over his face: "Okay, a few guest officers wait a while~"

The spirit stone was brought out by Jiang Chen from the demon mountain, just now he glanced at the spirit stones on the surrounding monks with his divine thoughts, and after some comparison, he knew that the spirit stones he brought were all low-grade spirit stones of poor quality, and the spiritual energy contained in the stones was very small.

Come to think of it, with the barrenness of the demon mountain, how can it give birth to a spirit stone of good quality and rich aura.

After the four of them sat down, Jiang Chen noticed that the monks who came and went were quietly looking at Mo Mei, but they were attracted by her appearance and figure, and there was some kind of distraction hidden in their eyes.

Jiang Chen frowned secretly, feeling that the mood of these monks was too bad, how could they be so easily attracted by a good-looking skin, and their eyes were full of desire.

......

"What? The dowry cost 100,000 spirit stones?!Zhen'er, you're not kidding me, are you, your parents really said that?"

Jiang Chen subconsciously looked at the pair of young men and women arguing in the corner.

"What are you yelling about, you! That's right, it's 100,000 spirit stones. ”

"Where do you let me get so many spirit stones?"

"Xiao Lin, I know this is a bit embarrassing for you, but this is what my father said, I dare not disobey ......"

"Zhen'er, you know me, I really don't have so many low-grade spirit stones, I have earned almost 30,000 low-grade spirit stones in Liuyunfang City over the years, I can give them all to you!"

The woman thought for a moment, "Why don't you think about it again?"

"I, I...... I'm just a little monk of the three realms, 70,000 spirit stones, do you think I have a way? If so, please tell me. ”

"Hey, Xiao Lin, you don't even have 100,000 spirit stones, if I form a Taoist couple with you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to improve my cultivation in the future, or let's forget it." ”

"What?" When the man heard this, he looked at the woman's eyes for a long time as if he had been struck by lightning, and at a certain moment, he showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Okay, since you say so, then forget it, but before that, I want to ask you, do you have a thousand lower grade spirit stones?"

"Huh, why do you ask?"

"I don't even have a thousand low-grade spirit stones, why can you still look at me with that kind of disdain? Hehe, it's ridiculous!"

After speaking, the man turned to leave, wiped away a few tears from his face, and was disheartened.

Jiang Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking it was funny.

The divine mind expands and covers the surroundings.

Slowly, a hint of surprise appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

In the area covered by his divine thoughts, he didn't even hear a word of discussion about cultivation, and everyone's conversation revolved around the 'spirit stones', exchanging ways to earn more spirit stones.

"Has Chen Gongzi been hooked by you? His family is a family of cultivators, if he can become his cultivator, will he still be worried about not having a spirit stone? ”

"I got one hundred and thirty-two low-grade spirit stones today, hehe, this business is good, it's been issued, I'm going to send it!"

"How's it going? Are there any fatty fish to slaughter today?"

"There is only this spirit stone left at home, and you still have to gamble with it!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to turn over the book this time, and there will be a lot of spirit stones for you and Cheng'er to cultivate at that time, believe me!

"How many spirit stones are there in one night?"

"Five hundred. ”

"Do you look in the mirror? a hundred, no more. ”

Within a radius of ten miles, all living beings are in various states.

After some observation, Jiang Chen had a clearer understanding of the scarcity of cultivation resources here,

If it weren't for that, how could these half-way monks care so much about the spirit stone and think about it wholeheartedly.

Cultivation and cultivation, wealth and wealth, this wealth occupies the first position, and it is conceivable that the importance of cultivation resources is conceivable.

This spirit stone is like a gold coin among mortals, making the monks here work hard for it, and it also makes this Liuyunfang City become as materialistic as the mortal world.

Ordinary people think that cultivators are heavenly beings who have no desires or desires, but this is not the case.

But every living being has desires.

You say that cultivators have no desires and no desires?

They seek cultivation, magic, immortality, and desirelessness...... Aren't these desires?

In Kyushu, Buddhism was regarded as a representative of no desire and no desire, but in Jiang Chen's view, they broadcast Buddhism, wanted to universalize all sentient beings, wanted to promote Buddhism, and wanted hell to become empty, and the essence of these grand wishes was also desire.

Therefore, cultivators not only have desires, but also desires that are stronger than those of mortals, because they are a group of mortals, a group of mortals who have great power in their hands.

The greater the so-called power, the more you want to get, the greater it will be.

Countless practitioners want to transcend the world, cross the sea of suffering in the world, and reach the other side, without being reincarnated, and living forever.

Isn't that desire big enough?

The aroma was fragrant, and a pot of steaming mangmei beef was served on the table.

"Guest officer, your pot of wild beef. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

The black bear didn't know how much saliva it drooled, and when it saw something coming up, he immediately reached out and fished it out of the hot pot.

Syllable!

Jiang Chen tapped the back of the other party's hand with chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "The chopsticks are in front of you, learn from me...... As a human being, you two are the same. ”
