Chapter 489 The Two Saints of the West: First Suffering, Then Introducing the Indulgence
The eight wastelands of the easternmost point.
Hundreds of millions of gentry were enslaved and sent to work in the mines.
Mining Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and Primordial Ink Crystal is extremely taxing on magical power and very difficult.
A Great Immortal could dig day and night for a hundred years to obtain even one or two ounces of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow.
A hundred years of cultivation can yield approximately ten jin of Hunyuan Golden Immortal!
The two ruling classes comprised approximately 1% of the eight wastelands of the easternmost region, with the remainder being mining slaves.
There are countless mining slaves, but only 10% are at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, and even fewer at the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm.
To ensure order, it was natural to redivide the eight directions.
The Styx River is in charge of the richest part of the Western Wilderness.
Zhen Yuanzi was in charge of the Southern Wilderness.
Sun Wukong takes charge of the Northern Wilderness...
Then, under the Eight Desolations, every mine and every spiritual herb was assigned to the cultivators of the Primordial World.
Aside from the portion handed over to the common people, the remaining 20% is all their own profit.
When Jieyin and Zhunti saw that the damned Li Yu had rebuilt the Eight Desolations, they were so envious that they drooled.
"If the West could acquire a barren resource, wouldn't we become rich?"
"Rolling in money?"
Jieyin and Zhunti, without any hesitation, sought out Li Yu again.
"Emperor Qin! Please, let me take charge of the western wilderness."
"We in the West will absolutely not let the First Emperor down."
Li Yu smiled. "Oh? How could you not disappoint me?"
"We can't just talk the talk; we need to come up with concrete examples."
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance. "If the First Emperor allows me to govern a wilderness in the west, the resources I pay every hundred years will be at least 10% more than those of other wildernesses!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu smiled knowingly but made no comment.
Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti became anxious, "An additional 20%!"
Li Yu smiled but did not speak.
Jieyin and Zhunti gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and exclaimed, "Two and a half percent!"
"The wasteland under our western jurisdiction is 25% larger than others every century!"
Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, "Then the Eastern Wilderness will be handed over to you in the West, for a thousand-year trial period."
"Don't worry, First Emperor."
Jieyin and Zhunti successfully obtained the Eastern Wilderness, their smiles unable to be contained.
The pharmacist, however, was somewhat worried. "Teacher, if we pay an extra 25%, won't we Westerners end up getting nothing and even losing money?"
After the destruction of the Eight Desolations of the East, the First Emperor established a rule to divide the Eight Desolations of the East among himself.
The amount of resources to be collected was determined based on the number and strength of each mine slave.
Basically, from top to bottom, only 20% of the resources are available.
The West is handing over 25% directly; isn't that practically giving them money away?
Seeing the pharmacist's worried face, Jieyin and Zhunti chuckled and said, "Things are inanimate, but people are alive."
"Why not just motivate them and encourage their initiative?"
"The amount to be handed over is fixed, so why not just dig up more?"
The pharmacist suddenly realized, "Does the teacher mean to use a whip?"
Jieyin and Zhunti laughed again, "Cracking a whip, that's the most lowly thing."
"Our primordial world is a vast realm, and we should be magnanimous. It is too shameful to whip people."
"Teacher, what about it?"
"Medicine Master, do you still remember the doctrines of Buddhism when we Westerners entered the Buddhist path during the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought?"
The pharmacist suddenly understood, "I get it!"
"Good that you understand. Gather your junior brothers and go preach the Dharma to those ants."
"yes!"
The pharmacist summoned his fellow disciples to preach the Dharma to the slaves.
"Living beings are born to suffer."
"Desire and obsession are the source of all suffering."
"The path to liberation is to let go of desires and attachments!"
"You are here today not to suffer, but to be tested and tempered by the Great Dao!"
The West is most adept at manipulating and bewitching the hearts of living beings!
Furthermore, this set of Western theories was developed during a period of intellectual ferment and practical struggle.
Using this theory to educate the indigenous people of East Pole is like a game-changer.
The miners in the Eastern Wilderness listened intently, each one seemingly deep in thought.
"Is...is it true?"
"It must be true!"
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one become an immortal!'"
"Suffering is a blessing, because it tempers you and makes your future path brighter and clearer!"
then!
The enthusiasm of the mining slaves in the Eastern Wilderness has been mobilized!
A century has passed.
The tension and excitement of receiving guidance and understanding will be a chance to take stock of the gains.
In total, 2.3 million catties of Frost Jade Marrow and 230,000 catties of Primordial Ink Crystal were unearthed.
That damned Li Yu set a base of two million or two hundred thousand for each wasteland.
That is, the seven provinces respectively handed over 1.6 million and 160,000 catties, and kept 20% for themselves.
The Eastern Wilderness, which was under the jurisdiction of Jieyin and Zhunti, paid 25% more taxes than the Seven Wildernesses.
That is, 21 million catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and 210 catties of Tai Chu Mo Jing need to be handed over.
A summary of the results.
Jieyin and Zhunti were so excited that they shed tears. "After we hand over the tribute, the West will still receive 200,000 catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and 20,000 catties of Primordial Ink Crystal..."
"Waaaaah, I'm rich! I'm super rich!"
When the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West ended, the West received more than seven billion strands of fortune.
However, before they could even warm up to it, the demonic path swept in.
All their good fortune has been wasted.
The West has become penniless again.
Now! They've made a fortune again!
Excited heart, shaking hands!
"Waaaah, this feeling is just so wonderful!"
Jieyin and Zhunti certainly knew the effects of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and Tai Chu Ink Crystal!
Jieyin and Zhunti immediately took out 100,000 Xuanshuang Jade Marrows and 10,000 Primordial Ink Crystals to refine their spiritual treasures!
All cultivators in the primordial world know that the Seven Treasures Tree is the spiritual treasure that Zhunti used to attain enlightenment, and the natal spiritual treasure of a saint!
Nobody knew that Zhunti's Dao-proving spiritual treasure was only a trashy mid-grade innate treasure!
Refined with Xuan Frost Jade Marrow and strengthened with Primordial Ink Crystal!
A more powerful version of the Seven Treasures Tree is here!
A superior-grade innate spiritual treasure! (Because it is a spiritual treasure used by a sage to attain enlightenment, even if it is not a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, its power in the hands of a sage surpasses that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in the hands of an ordinary cultivator.)
Zhunti burst into tears, "The spiritual treasure's strength has really advanced! Beautiful! It's so beautiful!"
Jieyin was also excited, because the strength of the Jieyin Banner had also advanced!
"If we have enough resources, our natal spiritual treasures will surely be able to advance to the highest-grade innate level, and perhaps even reach the level of innate supreme treasures!"
"Waaaah, I can't even imagine it! I, Zhunti, could one day wield a supreme innate treasure!"
"That's not enough. We can only harvest 200,000 or 20,000 jin every hundred years, which is far from sufficient!"
"We need more resources!"
"It seems we in the West have to unleash our biggest weapon!"
The pharmacist looked bewildered. "Master, I feel that we've already exhausted most of the initiative of those ants."
Jieyin and Zhunti smiled calmly, "Pharmacist, you're mistaken!"
"The potential of living beings is limitless!"
"You'll never know the full potential of a living being until you unleash it!"
"It only mobilizes subjective initiative!"
"If they want more, we need to set a goal for them!"
"Huh? Target? What target?"
"Indulgences!"
"For every ounce of resources handed over, an ant is given an indulgence!"
"A mining slave at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm can dig out one ounce in a hundred years, one pound in a thousand years, ten pounds in ten thousand years, and a thousand pounds in a million years!"
The pharmacist suddenly realized, "Then how many indulgences should we set?"
Jieyin and Zhunti said earnestly, "Too much seems unattainable, too little lacks motivation, so let's set it at ten billion years for now, and talk about it again after ten billion years."
The pharmacist prostrated himself in admiration, saying, "Disciple says, Master's insight is profound!"
"The teacher is wise!"
