Cultivation of Immortality: Starting from Fu Cultivation

Chapter 481 Different Choices of Father and Son
During the past one hundred years, although many mid-level cultivators died in the Dixuan Realm, many low-level cultivators also gradually rose during this period.

In general, the strength of the mainland's Xuanjie cultivators has not weakened over the past hundred years. On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of mid- and high-level cultivators has increased slightly.

Among them, in the Easternmost region of the Dixuan Realm.

With Xingluo Dongxuan City as its center, the regional power that has entered the era of demon hunters and demon hunting armies has developed the fastest.

During the past hundred years, many mid-level cultivators under Ye Qingxuan's command have also died in the demon hunting army inside and outside Dongxuan City.

However, in the secular city area of ​​Dongxuan City, the continuous birth of a new generation of monks every year has greatly filled the manpower gap in many demon hunting armies.

In order to maintain the vitality of these demon hunting armies and form a good competitive relationship.

At Ye Qingxuan's instruction, the students trained by Dongxuan Academy and other cultivators in Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan did not force them to join the demon hunting army under the command of Dongxuan City.

Even the students of Dongxuan College, as long as they are not core members of Dongxuan City.

If the Demon Hunters are willing to pay them a large amount of spirit stones, and the students themselves are also willing.

These students can directly leave Dongxuan City and join the direct ranks of the Demon Hunting Army, receiving preferential training from the Demon Hunting Army's resources.

After all, most of the students who graduated from Dongxuan College were from ordinary civilian families.

Except for a very small number of outstanding students, they will receive training with the help of Dongxuan City's resources.

Most other students, even if they join Dongxuan City, will only receive unified basic resource training.

If these people want to obtain more resources, they still need to work hard on their own.

In this case, joining the demon hunting army outside Dongxuan City and obtaining more resources may not be a better choice.

After all, now only Dongxuan Academy can provide a steady supply of new generation of cultivators near Dongxuan City.

Due to the massive shortage of manpower, these demon hunters have joined forces to snatch students, and the conditions they offer are not low.

Every time the Demon Hunting Army entered the Green Demon Realm to hunt down the Green Demons, they would harvest some low-level Green Demon corpses and sell them to other places.

A small portion of the low-level Green Demon corpses will be used to train their own reserve team members.

Of course, those who are worth fighting for are basically students with good talents.

After all, there is no threshold to enter Dongxuan College. As long as you have spiritual roots, you can practice in Dongxuan College for a period of time.

In this way, although everyone is a student of Dongxuan College.

However, some people become Foundation Establishment cultivators upon graduation, while others remain in the early stage of Qi Refining upon graduation.

The better the talent, the easier it is to train the demon hunters.

The Demon Hunting Army is not a charity. Even if they are training their own reserve members, they cannot provide unlimited support for their practice.

If they can recruit students with better talents, they will naturally choose students with better talents.

The remaining students are those that no one cares about.

Under normal circumstances, one can only join Dongxuan City and slowly grind his way through it, and finally hesitate for half a lifetime.

But now the expansion of Fujian's quota has given them another option.

Starfall·Dongxuan City.

In a courtyard in a certain secular city, a father and son were arguing.

"Son, your talent is just as low as your father's. You will only have the third level of Qi Refining Realm when you graduate from Dongxuan College this year."

"With your talent and cultivation, the Demon Hunters will not want you."

"Listen to Dad's advice, don't hold on to those useless fantasies all day long, follow Dad to become a person who can enter the Qingxuan Cave Heaven of the City Lord and follow the path of Fu Xiu!"

"Our Li family has been in Dongxuan City for hundreds of years. Although we have not had many people, we can still exchange for two first-level Fu Xiu quotas."

"Your mother was just a mortal, she died early. The only thing your father is worried about is you. Come with him!"

The father, Li Daming, is already gray-haired; the son, Li Chaoyang, is full of vigor and vitality.

Both of them are only at the Qi Refining Stage.

Hearing his father's words, the vigorous Li Chaoyang showed reluctance on his face. He hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said:
"Dad, I'm still young, I really don't want to give up, just let me fight for once!"

"This is an unprecedented era. Joining the Demon Hunting Army is my only chance to break free from the shackles of my talent!"

"I don't want any Fu Xiu quota. Give me half of your family's contribution points, and I will go to the market in Dongxuan City to buy a few first-level Green Demon corpses."

"I want to sacrifice the bodies of the Green Demons. I want to raise my cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and fight one last time."

After more than a hundred years, the major demon hunting armies brought back a large number of Green Demon corpses during their invasion of the Green Demon Realm.

Among them, most of the corpses of the middle and high-level Green Demons were digested internally by the demon hunting army itself.

However, there are still a large number of low-level Green Demon corpses, and a small number of mid- and high-level Green Demon corpses flowing into the market of Dongxuan City.

It's expensive but it's a living thing in this day and age.

As long as you are willing to spend Dongxuan City’s contribution points or spirit stones, you can directly buy the low-level Green Demon corpse you want.

As for the very few mid- and high-level Green Demon corpses that have leaked out, they can basically only appear in major auction houses.

In the courtyard, upon hearing his son's request, Li Daming frowned and said:

"What's the point of raising your cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm?"

"When recruiting for the Demon Hunting Army, we select people based on three dimensions: talent, cultivation, and combat power."

"It's too late now. Even if you quickly improve your cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, without enough time to hone and practice your spells, your combat power can only be rated as low."

"As a fresh graduate of Dongxuan College, your talent and combat power are both rated as low. Your cultivation at the peak of the Qi Training Realm can only be rated as upper-middle, and you cannot join the general-level Demon Hunting Army."

"By the time you have mastered the corresponding spells, polished your own skills, and improved your combat power, the time has already passed, and the opportunity has also gone."

"By then, you will lose your status as a freshman at Dongxuan College and become an ordinary cultivator in Dongxuan City. The difficulty and threshold of joining the Demon Hunting Army will be greatly increased."

"Son, listen to your father. We were born with low talents and insufficient financial resources."

"Although this is an unprecedented great world, our talents are not enough to support us to grow to the minimum threshold of this great world."

"Our financial resources also cannot support us to take shortcuts and touch this great world."

"If we force ourselves to do so, we will only suffer unprecedented backlash. Isn't this a more cruel and chaotic world?"

However, after hearing Li Daming's earnest words, Li Chaoyang shook his head stubbornly and said:
"Dad, I understand what you said, but I still want to fight, otherwise I won't be reconciled."

"What I want is not to be trapped in one place and live a leisurely farming life. What I want is to be able to obtain the title of Demon Hunter or even the title of Demon Hunter in Dongxuan City one day."

At this point, Li Chaoyang's eyes revealed a fiery look, and he looked at his father and continued:

"Dad, joining the Demon Hunter Army now is my only chance to achieve this goal. Even if I can't join the combat-level Demon Hunter Army, I am willing to join the Demon Hunter Army below the combat level." Hearing this, Li Daming was immediately excited and shook his head repeatedly, exclaiming:
"Demon Hunters below combat level? No, absolutely not."

"The death rate of the demon hunters who are not even at the combat level is too high. You will definitely die if you go in. I cannot agree to that."

But Li Chaoyang did not waver, and still insisted on doing so, saying with a firm face:

"Dad, I have made up my mind, so please stop trying to persuade me. I want to ride on the wind, but how can it be smooth sailing without going through the trials of life and death? On the road to immortality, life and death are inextricably linked!"

"Besides, I am at least a core member of Dongxuan City. I will still receive some preferential treatment if I join the Demon Hunting Army. You don't have to worry too much about my safety."

Having said that, Li Chaoyang himself knows it clearly.

Fortunately, he will receive certain preferential treatment in the Demon Hunting Army Base in Dongxuan City because of his status as a core member of Dongxuan City.

If you really enter the Green Demon Realm, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God.

It was wishful thinking to expect preferential treatment. No one in the demon hunting army would put themselves in danger for him.

Seeing Li Chaoyang's insistence, Li Daming sighed with a complicated look in his eyes:

"Well, in that case, Dad won't stop you. You have chosen the path yourself. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

After saying that, Li Daming took out his Dongxuan Order, looked at Li Chaoyang and said:

"Take out the Dongxuan Order! I will transfer the contribution points to you."

Hearing this, and seeing that his father agreed with his choice, Li Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Dad, thank you!"

Then he took out his Dongxuan Order.

However, when Li Chaoyang saw the number of contribution points his father transferred to him, his expression suddenly changed.

"Dad, no. Although I want to pursue my own path, I don't want to cut off your path or even your hope of survival. I only want half of the contribution points."

After saying this, without waiting for Li Daming's response, Li Chaoyang directly returned half of the contribution points.

Li Chaoyang knew that his father's life span was coming to an end; cultivating Fu Xiu was the only hope for his father.

How could he possibly destroy his father's path of blessing and cultivation for the sake of his own pursuits?
Seeing that his son had returned half of his contribution points, Li Daming's face became serious and he said:

"Yang'er, father is old. Even if he becomes a Fu Xiu, he won't have much of a future."

"With my contribution points, you can exchange for a few more first-level Green Demon corpses. Then you may have a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Then you can join the general-level Green Demon Army."

"no!"

Faced with his father's proposal, Li Chaoyang directly and sternly rejected it.

"Dad, if you don't want me to have defects in my heart and develop inner demons in the future, then give up this idea."

"this?"

Hearing his son's words, Li Daming was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, he could only shake his head helplessly and said:

"Well, that's it!"

Seeing his father's desolate look, Li Chaoyang felt guilty. He went forward to hug Li Daming and whispered in his ear:
"Dad, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, Li Chaoyang looked determined and turned away without hesitation.

Looking at Li Chaoyang's departing back, Li Daming stood there in a daze for a long time.

When the sun set, Li Daming slowly took his steps and walked outside with the remaining contribution points.

Father and son.

One chose to enter Qingxuan Cave and became a blessed cultivator under Ye Qingxuan.

One chooses to join the Demon Hunting Army and receive training from the Demon Hunting Army, hoping to enter the Green Demon Realm to kill everyone and achieve his own immortal path.

The two different choices are also microcosms of all sizes in Dongxuan City at this time.

Outside Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan's incarnation looked down indifferently at the now even more vast Dongxuan City.

These hundred years or so are the stage when Dongxuan City's overall strength takes off.

Dongxuan City expanded again and again, and even small castles were built in the city.

These small castles are all bases applied for by the major demon hunting armies.

These demon hunting army garrisons were originally just some mundane urban areas without spiritual veins.

But after buying it, the Demon Hunting Army sacrificed the source of the demon veins seized from the Green Demon Realm and chose to integrate the transformed source of the spirit veins into their own base.

Gradually, it has gradually formed its current scale.

More than a hundred years have passed, and now the system of demon hunters and demon hunting army in Dongxuan City has gradually been improved.

In the entire Dongxuan City, there were rounds of life and death.

There are more than 100,000 demon hunters in Dongxuan City, and there are thousands of registered demon hunting armies.

In most demon hunting armies, there are not many demon hunters, probably only about 20 to 30; some demon hunting armies even have only about 10 people.

In order to reduce the burden, these demon hunters take the elite route.

Only a very small number of demon hunters take the route of numbers, but their size is no more than a hundred people at most.

Among these demon hunting troops, most of them are under the command of Dongxuan City.

The demon hunting army under Dongxuan City will recruit relatively more people because of the existence of the military formation.

In recent years, the demon hunting army outside Dongxuan City has been secretly coveting Dongxuan City’s military formation, wanting to obtain the right to exchange the military formation.

But with the military formation, the size of these demon hunting armies is bound to expand significantly.

Ye Qingxuan was not worried that the expansion of these demon hunting troops would pose a threat to Dongxuan City.

However, the current number of cultivators in Dongxuan City is not enough to support the expansion of so many demon hunting troops.

Once the exchange authority of the military formation is released, it will cause a rush for people from the demon hunting army, which may cause the stable situation in Dongxuan City to become unstable.

However, the military formation can indeed enhance the strength of these demon hunting troops.

Although these demon hunting troops are not affiliated with Dongxuan City, they still depend on Dongxuan City for survival and occasionally accept missions issued by Dongxuan City.

Once their strength is improved, it will also be of certain benefit to the development of Dongxuan City.

More importantly, after the strength of these demon hunting troops is improved, they can cause more casualties to the Green Demon Clan.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan is also looking for an opportunity to release the military formation exchange authority.
