Chapter 139: Identity Jade Card
In the two countries of Wu and Yue, cultivators who became immortal were revered by everyone as Xian Shifu!
Because all the people of both countries know that in order to defeat an enemy country, the only way is for the immortal masters of one's own country to defeat the enemy country, and the secular powers actually play a very small role!
The war has been going on, so in order to prevent spies from entering the country, all cultivators must wear an identity jade card!
This jade token represents one's own camp and also represents being able to survive an encounter with an opposing camp!
Shanmeng City is a city located on the eastern side of Wu State. Behind Shanmeng City, there is a mountain where all the immortal masters of Wu State live. Occasionally, you can even see the immortal masters flying over from the sky!
After flying into the mountain, Wang Chen was shocked by the situation of the monks here!
On the streets, people are surging forward, with Qi Refining stage cultivators making up the majority, but Foundation Building stage cultivators are not few in number! It can be seen that the prosperity here is just a small part of the entire Wu State, and I wonder how many cultivators there are in the entire state!
Actually, Wang Chen didn't know that the situation in Wu and Yue was different from that of Liang. There were battles every year, many monks died, so every year they had to recruit children with spiritual roots from among the secular people!
As long as they have a spiritual root, I will give them a small amount of elixir and basic skills. As for their future development, it's up to them!
If it's good, join the sect. The treatment of the Puppet Sect and the Array Gate is very good! If you don't want to join, you can also go out to sea and hunt for demons on your own, but this kind of injury is relatively large!
Secondly, you can also join a business association. The vast majority of resources in Wu and Yue countries are within the business associations, with over a dozen large and small associations!
The largest Chamber of Commerce is naturally the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, which controls one-third of the cultivation resources!
Masters obtain spiritual materials at sea, but need to exchange for elixirs in the Chamber of Commerce. Only high-level alchemists are cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce!
After walking around in a circle, Wang Chen roughly understood the situation and then decided to get an identity jade card!
Although some monks don't have jade cards, having one can bring many benefits, and killing local monks will yield a surprisingly large reward!
In the west of this town, there is a white jade building that is exceptionally luxurious, which is exactly where the identity jade cards are handled.
Generally speaking, there are very few people here because every year the new children arrive at a fixed time and other times are rare for monks to come!
Entering the Jade Building, there was a chair, and on the chair, an old man was dozing off slightly. It wasn't until Wang Chen walked in that he slowly woke up!
"Young man, eh! Fellow Taoist, what brings you here?"
Wang Chen smiled: "I came here to handle the identity jade card, of course!"
"Arriving from Liang State, I came to Wu State for the first time wanting to get an identity jade card, convenient for cultivation here! It's said that advancing to the Foundation Building and Golden Elixir stages is relatively easier here!"
The old man smiled slightly: "Isn't that so? There are many opportunities at sea, as long as you're willing to take risks, advancing to the Golden Elixir stage is just a matter of time!"
Wang Chen nodded slightly, but in his heart he was thinking that it would be impossible to advance to the Golden Elixir stage without a good reputation, and besides, there were so many dangers involved, how could it be that easy!
But relatively speaking, the probability of advancing to Golden Elixir here is much higher than in Liang State!
"There are two types of identity jade cards here. One requires detailed personal information, and we provide more cultivation resources; the other only needs a name, but every year you need to kill a cultivator from Yueguo, hand over his body and identity jade card! I don't know which one you want?"
Wang Chen bowed his head and thought for a moment before asking: "If I beat up the monks a bit more, will my treatment be better?"
The old man smiled and said, "Of course, but be careful, don't go to the other side of Wujing River, it's too dangerous. If you encounter them in the outer sea, just kill them if necessary, otherwise, escape quickly!"
The old man rarely had a good heart and reminded him of two sentences. Wang Chen nodded and agreed.
The Oujiang River is a major river between the Wu and Yue kingdoms of Liang, with two tributaries originating from high mountains on each side, then merging together to flow into the sea.
The Wu River separates the two countries of Wu and Yue in the north and south, and the practitioners of Liangguo often fight in the intersecting areas, constantly for many years! Because where the water flows intersects, there is a peculiar area that can produce the rare mineral secret silver!
Later on, this place also became a battleground where monks from both countries fought each other for many years!
Wang Chen had been in the city for only a few days, and after casually strolling around the streets, he already knew most of the situation. As for the secrets of Wu Guo, they still needed to be slowly investigated!
Received the identity jade card, Wang Chen decided to find a cave house to live in first!
At this time, the effect of the jade card is revealed. When renting a cave house, if there is no jade card, it will be very troublesome. Even with demon pills as payment, you can only live in those lower-level rooms. If you have a jade card, the situation will be much better!
At the cost of three pieces of spiritual stones, Wang Chen found a cave to settle down in. However, the surprised gaze from the female cultivator who received him made Wang Chen feel embarrassed!
During the foundation-building period, after gaining the power to hunt and kill demonic beasts, almost all of them relied on demon cores to settle their accounts.
One pill of Foundation Establishment's early-stage Demon Dan is about 8,000 Spirit Stones, which is roughly half the price of Liang Country! The middle-stage Demon Dan of Foundation Establishment is equivalent to about five pills of the early-stage Demon Dan. The late-stage Demon Dan of Foundation Establishment is equivalent to about five pills of the late-stage Demon Dan.
The golden elixir of the initial stage is equivalent to about twenty demon cores of the later stage of foundation building!
Of course, the value of a demon core will also change depending on its specific situation. For example, a newly advanced demon core is worth a little less, while one that has been advanced for a longer period of time is worth more! Rare demon cores are worth a bit more, and common ones are worth a bit less!
All this information was obtained by Wang Chen within a month. Moreover, Wang Chen also found many differences between here and Liangguo!
For example, Wang Chen bought a large amount of Ling wine to go out to sea. These Ling wines do not have the effect of improving cultivation, but can only assist in speeding up the recovery of Ling Qi! There are many sea monsters at sea, and if you're not careful, there's a risk of losing your life, so it's very important to maintain a certain amount of magical power!
In addition, masters generally need to buy two kinds of flight treasures!
One consumes mana slowly but moves slowly, suitable for traveling long distances; another one consumes mana quickly but moves faster, suitable for chasing enemies or escaping.
Wang Chen sold two pieces of treasure that he had originally prepared for his own use, and after obtaining some demon pellets, he bought a slower speed ship-type treasure, Yunlan Ship. The remaining demon pellets were all exchanged for spiritual wine!
Three months later, a cyan warship departed from Mangshan City!
Four Shiki period craftsmen quietly left on a ship-shaped treasure vessel and headed out to the open sea like many other ship-shaped treasure vessels.
Half a month later!
"Wang Dao You, you're new here, joining our Wu State is the right choice. Yue State over there is mostly demonic cultivators, constant slaughter and chaos, not as peaceful as it is here!"
The middle-aged man who led this behavior was named Sun Hai, and he kept introducing Wang Chen to the situation in Wu State.
Sun Hai, the strongest among them all, had reached the late stage of foundation building. Wang Chen knew that he practiced a water-attribute technique, and in the vast ocean where water-attribute spiritual energy was most abundant, his technique's power was extremely great!
However, because of this, the demonic beasts are mostly water-attribute, so their attack power is not very high. They just pulled a few people together and formed a team to hunt down the demonic beasts!
Apart from Sun Hai, there were also Li Lao Dao and a thirty-year-old female cultivator named Hao Li.
These people all know each other and after working together for a period of time they felt it was suitable to form a team.
Wang Chen's joining also made several people very happy, because Wang Chen claimed to be a body refiner, and after slightly showing off his physical strength that had reached the level of a precious instrument, Wang Chen joined with the lowest cultivation in the team!
Others were very polite to Wang Chen, with a look of having picked up a treasure in their hearts!
The most difficult to cultivate is the body, but as long as it has achieved some success in cultivation, it will be snatched away by others and join a more famous demon-hunting team. Teams like theirs are usually not invited!
Just imagine, in a battle, there is a tank at the front holding on, while others are freely outputting behind him, how cool is that!
Otherwise, relying solely on buying puppets from the Puppet Sect to resist the monster's attack is not a viable solution!
Otherwise, if they don't resist, many monsters enter the water and occupy the geographical advantage, making it very difficult to chase them!
