Chapter 021: Tiger Power Pill
On Huahuang Island, Gong Huaiming failed to set foot in the core area, but he managed to stay on the edge of Huahuang Island for more than an hour, during this time, he more or less saw some of the fairy atmosphere of the Baihua Palace, beautiful, exquisite, and beautiful.
This time, it took ten taels of silver to obtain the qualification to enter Baihuafang City, which is the industry of Baihuafang Palace, and at the moment before stepping in, Gong Huaiming was full of expectations for the scenery inside, thinking that it must be another immortal atmosphere. After entering, Gong Huaiming was disappointed.
The walls of Baihuafang City are well repaired, tall and thick, but the buildings inside are a little cold. All the houses are very small, and that's all, the most incredible thing is that there are many shacks, made of bamboo, wood, or even a piece of land with a few pieces of cloth, even a shop. Gong Huaiming suddenly came in, thinking that he had entered a slum.
Baihuafang City has a good reputation, even if the shops inside are extremely simple and not high-grade, it has not affected people's interest in visiting and purchasing here. There are a lot of people in Baihuafang City, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, most of them are secular people like Gong Huaiming. Gong Huaiming couldn't help but be even more disappointed, it seemed that if he wanted to meet the cultivators here and make friends with the cultivators, it was estimated that there was not much hope.
Gong Huaiming sighed, reluctantly collected his mood, and walked into the flow of people. The buildings in Baihuafang City are not very good, but the goods are still relatively complete, covering pills, talismans, sword armor, medicinal herbs and other things that can be used by cultivators. After Gong Huaiming turned around a few stalls, he found two problems.
The first question is that the things here are nominally sold to cultivators, but in fact, most of them are things that ordinary people can use. Like the pill shop, there is a kind of Tiger Power Pill, after ordinary people take it, within an hour, they can increase their strength by a certain amount, and the specific increase is determined according to the quality of the Tiger Power Pill, but even the worst quality Tiger Power Pill can also increase the strength of the user by three to forty percent. There are many pills like this in Baihuafang City.
The second problem is that everything in Baihuafang City is expensive, and it has reached the point where it is extremely expensive. Taking Huli pills as an example, the worst quality also costs dozens of taels of silver to be able to buy one. The kind that can multiply people's strength can be bought for hundreds of taels, or even thousands of taels.
Let's not talk about whether ordinary people have the opportunity to use the Tiger Power Pill, even if he wants to buy it, he has to weigh his financial resources. Gong Huaiming's silver is counted, Gonggong Li gave him more than a dozen taels of scattered silver, Xu Zhongda gave him five hundred taels, as his salary and reward, when he entered Baihuafang City, he spent ten taels, that is to say, he only has a little more than five hundred taels of silver left, if it is used to buy the lowest quality Huli pill, he can only buy about ten pieces, and then he will become poor.
With little money on the body, this problem is unlikely to be solved in a short time. What Gong Huaiming couldn't understand was that Baihuafang City was claimed to be a place for cultivators to trade, why were all the things here sold to secular people?
Gong Huaiming still didn't understand the situation in the cultivation realm, and the Yongyi Islands were full of calculations, and the population was fifty or sixty million. Even if there could be one person with the talent of cultivating truth among ten thousand people, the number of cultivators in the Yongyi Islands would only be five or six thousand, but in fact, the total number of all the cultivators in the Yongyi Islands would only be about seven or eight hundred, not even a thousand.
Most of these people who are fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation are junior and low-level cultivators, and their cultivation realm is relatively low. In the vast majority of the time and in most areas, the cultivation resources are very limited, and if the cultivator wants to climb up step by step, he cannot do without the support of all kinds of cultivation resources, just like the secular people have no way to leave food and water, and the support of cultivation resources is irreplaceable. It is precisely because of this that the competition for cultivation resources has always been the most tragic.
The cultivation resources of the Yongyi Islands are basically firmly controlled by the Hundred Flowers Palace, and among the seven or eight hundred cultivators, the three types of people with the best spiritual roots, the most talented, and the strongest are either people from the Hundred Flowers Palace, or have been co-opted by the Hundred Flowers Palace, or because of various circumstances, they have surrendered to the Hundred Flowers Palace. There are about 300 cultivators outside these three types, and this part of the cultivators is not high in cultivation and has limited talents, whether they are or not, it doesn't matter if the Hundred Flowers Palace is not, even if they take the initiative to take refuge in the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Hundred Flowers Palace does not need them.
Without the support of the Hundred Flowers Palace, it is difficult for these cultivators to go far on the road of cultivation, and the biggest difficulty is that they have very few opportunities to obtain cultivation resources, on the one hand, they can't compete for the Hundred Flowers Palace, which is the dominant position in the Yongyi Islands, and on the other hand, it is also difficult for them to obtain information about the cultivation resources, such as the location of the mineral veins, the location of the spiritual veins, the spiritual grass and wood essences, and so on. If you want to find these things, you either rely on chance or strength, and the vast majority of cultivators with low cultivation lack these two.
If these cultivators want to continue cultivating, they can only put their ideas on the secular people, refine some pills, swords and armor that the secular people need, sell them to the secular people, and then use the gold and silver and other things they earn to exchange some of the cultivation resources they urgently need from the Hundred Flowers Palace. As the ruler of the Yongyi Islands, the Hundred Flower Palace is not exclusive to gold and silver, on the contrary, they also need to use these things to maintain their rule. Thus, a chain of interest circulation is formed.
It was in this context that Baihuafang City was born, and it is essentially a platform for material exchange between junior and low-level cultivators and those in need in the world. If this is not the case, how can Baihuafang City not impose any restrictions on the entry and exit of secular people, as long as they pay money, they can enter and exit?
It's not that there is no trading place on the Yongyi Islands that only allows cultivators to enter and exit, such a place, even if Gong Huaiming knows about it, it is useless, he is just an ordinary person now, and he has no qualifications to enter and exit there at all.
What Gong Huaiming wanted most now was an encyclopedia or dictionary or something like that could introduce the common knowledge of the cultivation realm in detail. After a big turn in Baihuafang City, he didn't find what he wanted, only found a few books that told the strange things in the cultivation world, like something a spirit beast appeared there, and the immortal masters fought again, who formed a cultivation partner with whom, etc., full of curiosity, but there were not too many practical surnames. Don't look at the price of this kind of book is not cheap, but it is very easy to sell, there are many secular people who like to hunt for curiosity, they can't be immortal masters, and it is also a very good pastime to hunt for the life of immortal masters, especially the fighting between immortal masters, either you die or I live, and it can satisfy part of the dark psychology of secular people.
Gong Huaiming reluctantly spent ten taels of silver to buy the latest version, hoping to find some valuable clues from it in the future. In addition, Gong Huaiming also bought two Tiger Power Pills, which were of the lowest quality, which could only increase one-third of their strength, but it also cost Gong Huaiming more than a hundred taels of silver.
Buying Huli Pill is to prepare for the future, Gong Huaiming always feels that Yin Haidong, a white-faced silver Jiao, will not suffer in vain, he will definitely find the ocean number of the Xu family's firm, as he once represented the Xu family's firm and defeated the second leader of the pirates, he must be the target of the pirates' key revenge, Gong Huaiming can't help but make some necessary preparations in advance.
