Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 69 Warmth
Nine hundred and twenty-five years of Qiantian.

This year.

Yi Dong received news from Yi Jun.

He has lost his position as chief.

However, he served as the chief for two terms and obtained a total of two space fragments.

He gave one of them to Yi Ling.

And the one that Yi Feng had obtained before was given to Yi Qing.

In other words, among the five brothers and sisters, only Yi Mo has no space fragments.

But Yi Jun told Yi Dong that Yi Feng was still the chief of Xuanyin Taoist Academy.

In other words, Yi Feng can get another piece of space fragment within this year.

For a moment, Yi Dong felt his hope greatly increased.

As long as Yi Feng remains the chief next year, he will probably get 80% of the space fragments.

these past two years.

The Yi family in Zijin Mountain has not changed much.

Among the twenty-four families in Xia County, Zijinshan is the most powerful one.

Although Zijin Mountain could not ask the other twenty-three families to pay tribute, it had no problem exploiting them in such a gentle way by purchasing the resources grown from their spiritual veins at low prices and then manufacturing them into magical tools or elixirs and selling them at high prices.

Xia County is stable, so naturally nothing major will happen in Zijin Mountain.

this day.

Purple Mountain.

One courtyard is very lively.

Dozens of tables were set up, and people were seated at each table.

This is the foundation-building banquet.

In the past three years, the clansmen on Zijin Mountain have been building their foundations, and the frequency of banquets has been increasing.

Many people in power of aristocratic families will not advance to the foundation-building stage too quickly, because they pursue a flawless foundation-building and want to condense the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir when they advance to the Golden Elixir stage.

However, many Yi family cultivators on Zijin Mountain originally had no hope of building a foundation. Now that the family is giving them the opportunity to do so by offering them interest-free loans, they naturally will not hesitate.

Once the foundation is established, your life span will increase by a hundred years. As long as you work hard, it will be no problem to pay off the debt of 30,000 spirit stones.

Well, Zijin Mountain provides two sets of foundation-building methods, one set is 30,000 spirit stones, and the other set is 50,000 spirit stones.

Only these two methods that can build a 100% foundation can be used for loans.

As for those who don't want to owe spirit stones and only need a 2000 spirit stone foundation-building pill to gamble on the chance of building a foundation, Zijin Mountain will not provide loans.

Although failure when using the Foundation Building Pill will not lead to death, the success rate is only about 20% to 30%. Every time you fail, the success rate of future foundation building will be lower. If you fail three or two times, even the package that claims to have 100% success rate for foundation building may not be able to save you.

If you can’t build a foundation, you won’t have enough life to repay the spirit stones.

Yi Dong was the founder of the Yi family in Purple Mountain in the 860th year of Qiantian.

At that time, many of the brothers and sisters who came with him were older than him.

Sixty-five years have passed now, and many members of the tribe are already over a hundred years old.

These are the people who are basically building the foundation now.

All of Zijin Mountain belongs to Yidong.

Although these people are his clansmen, Yi Dong will not support them.

In other words, they do not have any fixed monthly or annual salary.

Only work can bring income.

If you don't want to work, then the only option is to practice in a single room provided by Zijin Mountain.

These people, whether they were hard-working or lazy, had no savings because the pay for working on Purple Mountain was not very high and they had too many descendants.

Therefore, those who have established their foundation must immediately obey Zijin Mountain's arrangements and either work in the Lotus Spirit Pond or go to Xia County to work and repay their loans.

Of course, there is another group of people in Zijin Mountain who receive a monthly salary.

They are less than ten Green Lotus Sword Immortals and the child with purple eyes.

Purple eyes are a type of eye mutation that Yi family descendants created after Yi Dong researched the Law-Breaking Spirit Eyes and modified the Heaven-Burn Pill.

Since these children have not yet practiced, the specific effects of purple light eyes are not yet known.

The bustle of Zijin Mountain did not affect Yidong.

Yi Dong is still immersed in research.

Now, after studying the space chakra, he found that he lacked a lot of knowledge.

The space chakra is all-encompassing, containing complete knowledge that even the five children cannot pass on.

Because there are a lot of structures that involve a lot of calculations.

The fairy country has space technology.

The connection between states is basically based on space transmission.

But a space teleportation station can easily occupy hundreds of kilometers.

That's how complex space technology is.

Although the space chakra does not really open up an internal space in the body, it does open up a node that can carry space fragments.

Everyone's body is different. The same space chakra, when used by different people, requires countless calculations and experiments before it can be applied to their own bodies.

It cannot be said that the knowledge about space chakras that Yi Dong collected from the intermediate Taoist academy is wrong. It can only be said that compared with the current version of the superior Taoist academy, it is already very simple and backward.

Although the knowledge brought back by the five children was not comprehensive.

However, there is enough information, and as long as you experiment a little bit, you can develop a version of space chakra that suits you.

Xia County, Purple Mountain Herb Shop No. 13. A young man is reading a book.

Suddenly, a child ran in.

"Uncle Yun, do you have the Water Ring Spiritual Grass?"

Yi Chaoyun looked over and said helplessly:

“Xiaotian, the water ring spirit grass is a second-level spirit plant, worth ninety spirit stones. Although our store has it, but your family’s situation.”

Speaking of this, Yi Chaoyun felt helpless.

The first and second level spiritual herbs usually cost between tens to hundreds of spiritual stones because of their different growth cycles.

Although the Water Ring Spiritual Grass is not a rare spiritual plant, it still requires thirty years of careful care before it can be harvested. Its value is the lowest among the second-level spiritual herbs, and an average casual cultivator family can afford it if they grit their teeth.

But the child in front of him, named Zhao Xiaotian, has only a sick grandfather at home and does not have much source of income. He usually relies on selling breakfast to earn some copper and silver coins.

In the fairyland system, there are five types of currencies: spirit stones, broken spirits, gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins.

The exchange rate in the fairyland is one to one hundred.

One spirit stone is an astronomical figure for many mortal families, let alone ninety.

Zhao Xiaotian's family is not a real mortal family. His grandfather used to be an immortal cultivator. But for some reason, his meridians were broken, and he lost all his cultivation and became a mortal.

Individual cultivators can earn some spiritual power by doing some work in the fairyland’s enterprises.

But mortals usually run around for gold and silver, so it is very difficult to earn spirit stones.

Zhao Xiaotian frowned.

Yi Chaoyun couldn't help but say:
"Although your grandfather's illness is caused by the meridians, it does not necessarily require the Water Ring Spirit Grass. It can be cured by going to the clinic for treatment."

The medical clinics within the fairyland not only have doctors who treat diseases with pharmacology, but also doctors who use scalpels to remove the root causes of diseases.

There are even some large medical clinics that have cultivators working as doctors.

In the fairyland, there are basically no so-called terminal illnesses. The only ones are people who refuse treatment because they do not have enough money for it.

Zhao Xiaotian felt a little uncomfortable and said:

"Grandpa also wants to go to the clinic, but I know that after going there, although the doctors can heal the meridians, it is impossible for the meridians to return to their previous state. Grandpa may have to be a mortal for the rest of his life."

Yi Chaoyun was speechless.

Nowadays, rich people can regenerate severed limbs through elixirs, but those without money can only go to the clinic for amputation.

Zhao Xiaotian’s grandfather went to the clinic and has a high probability of recovery, but the broken meridians in his body may have to be removed with a scalpel.

Two years have passed since Yi Chaoyun was sent by his family to the county town to run a shop.

Over the past two years, I have basically gotten to know everyone on the two streets closest to me.

He said before that there was no water-ring spiritual grass because he didn’t want Zhao Xiaotian to be sad.

In fact, how could Purple Gold Mountain not have a mere second-grade spiritual herb?

He also had a general idea of Zhao Xiaotian's situation.

Their family was probably the relatives of the Zhao family, one of the seven great families in Xia County.

Although the decline of the Zhao family has a lot to do with the Yi family.

But Yi Chaoyun had no ill will towards Zhao Xiaotian.

Although the Zhao family was almost extinct, there were still many people with the surname Zhao in the county. The upper echelons of the Yi family ignored them, and as a worker, he naturally would not have any sense of mission.

On the contrary, Yi Chaoyun still felt a little guilty towards Zhao Xiaotian.

If the Zhao family had not yet fallen, Zhao Xiaotian's situation might have been much better than it is now.

"Uncle Yun, is there no way for me to earn spirit stones?"

Zhao Xiaotian was unwilling to accept this.

Yi Chaoyun wanted to say no, but when he thought of the news he had heard recently when he was drinking with several cousins who were immortal or mortal officials in the government, he couldn't help but say:

"In half a month, Xia County will establish a cultivation school. You can go and take a test on your spiritual roots. If you can enter the school and become a cultivator, perhaps you will be able to earn spiritual stones."

Within Xia County, the distribution of spiritual energy is also regulated through formations.

The spiritual energy where Zhao Xiaotian lives is so thin that it is almost non-existent. Even if he has a natural spiritual root and the Zhao family's skills, it is unlikely for him to embark on the path of cultivation.

“A training school?
Is it a Taoist temple? "

“No, Taoist academies basically recruit people with natural spiritual roots. If you have natural spiritual roots, you may have a chance to enter the Taoist academy.

But as long as one has spiritual roots, one can enroll in the cultivation school.

And the tuition is not high.”

Zhao Xiaotian was happy at first, but then he became sad.

Yi Chaoyun said:
"Don't worry. Although I don't have many spirit stones, if you have spiritual roots, I can lend you the tuition. You can pay it back when you grow up."

"Thank you, Uncle Yun!"

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Xiaotian still did not refuse.

Grandpa often told him about the past of the Zhao family.

Zhao Xiaotian really hopes that one day he can rebuild the Zhao family, so he is eager to become an immortal cultivator.

Yi Chaoyun smiled and gave Zhao Xiaotian a few instructions before letting him leave.

Although Zhao Xiaotian's family was not wealthy, they were not in need of assistance, so Yi Chaoyun did not say anything about supporting him in school for free.

Dozens of spirit stones are not a small number for Yi Chaoyun, because now every cultivator in the Yi family is accumulating spirit stones in order to build a foundation.

The tuition for the training school was just a little gold and silver, which was nothing to him.

In the fairyland, regardless of the gap between the rich and the poor, there is warmth between people.

It can be said that in the fairyland, except for a small number of unsatisfied people, most people are easily satisfied and live happily.
