Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 256 Gains and Losses

Entering the market, it is difficult to find too many familiar traces.

The houses that used to be scattered in the outer market are now in a mess. Some have been demolished, and some have been rebuilt. All kinds of houses are crowded together, just like a slum.

Xu Yuan's home is in it.

According to him, the Chen family of Hanhai stabbed the Righteous Alliance in the back before, and they were defeated and retreated to the East Lake area before they could gain a foothold.

What followed was naturally the successive fierce attacks from the Changsheng Sect.

Shuitianfang is no exception.

It is said that two Jindan Zhenren from the Changsheng Sect led thousands of Changsheng Sect cultivators, among whom there were nearly ten cultivators in the foundation building stage.

After several months of fighting, the Righteous Alliance cultivators stationed in Shuitianfang almost struggled for several months.

If the subsequent reinforcements had not arrived, the fall of Shuitianfang would have been almost inevitable.

Even so, the attacking Changsheng Sect team was not defeated and annihilated, but retreated calmly and moved to the Jingmen battlefield.

That is, the place where the Changsheng Sect and the Zhengdao League are now confronting and fighting.

Since the Hanhai Chen family stabbed the Zhengdao League in the back, causing the Zhengdao League to collapse, the Jingmen battlefield has become one of the main battlefields for the confrontation and fighting between the two sides.

The Changsheng Sect and the Zhengdao League, which each occupy half of the entire Dachu cultivation world, have set off rounds of bloodshed in the inconspicuous Jingmen area.

So far, there is still no result.

"We are here."

Pointing to a low wooden house in front of him, Xu Yuan seemed a little embarrassed.

The wooden house is low and more dilapidated than the shanty wooden houses he saw in Yuning Town.

He looked around and found that most of them were low-level cultivators like the residents of Yuning Town at the beginning.

At present, although Xia Yu's magic power is low and he is only at the seventh level of Qi training, Xu Yuan is a perfect Qi training existence. Why does he still live in such a desolate place?

As if he noticed Chu Mu's confusion, Xu Yuan hurriedly explained: "This place is not conspicuous. It is very close to the outside of the market. If there is any situation, there is still time to react."

Then, Xu Yuan immediately added: "However, I will probably move in in the next few days."

"Why move in?"

"I signed an employment contract with the Righteous Alliance a few days ago. I plan to take on some tasks and accumulate some contribution points."

Xu Yuan took out a palm-sized jade piece and handed it to Chu Mu.

"This is a contract contact order. You can get one after signing the employment contract."

"It is said that as long as you are within a 200-mile radius of the various markets of the Righteous Alliance, without being disturbed, this contract contact order can receive all the employment tasks and reward information from the Righteous Alliance Center."

As he spoke, under Xu Yuan's control, one side of the jade token turned into a screen, as if it were a smartphone in the previous life, and a stream of information was also reflected on the screen.

There are densely packed employment tasks, and the most important contribution treasure house. There are a wide variety of treasures, all of which clearly indicate the contribution value required for exchange.

The contribution treasure house is like some shopping malls in the previous life, where the goods are clearly marked, but the contribution treasure house of the Righteous Alliance requires... contribution, and working hard for the Righteous Alliance.

Chu Mu was slightly surprised. He took the token and looked at it, and still couldn't hide his surprise.

With his knowledge, it is not difficult to see what the inner meaning of this contract contact order is.

The token is made of jade. The jade is just ordinary spiritual jade. The first-grade low-grade spiritual materials, except for the spiritual ore produced, can usually be refined from ordinary things, which is very cheap.

The spiritual jade is cheap, but... the system behind this spiritual jade is not cheap at all.

There is nothing else on the jade token, just an ordinary display array ban inscription, and a very special array ban.

In the art of refining, this special array ban has a professional term called... Wanxiang array ban, which means all-encompassing.

Its main function is to receive information from various centers like a signal receiver in the previous life.

That is to say, as long as the market within the influence of the Righteous Alliance, within a radius of 200 miles, can receive the source of information.

Its principle is basically the same as the network information system in the previous life, and this contract contact order is equivalent to a simple mobile phone.

With this system, it is completely possible to achieve a network information system that covers the world like the previous life.

However, to achieve such a scale, the cost is naturally extremely high.

Moreover, the most important thing is that even in the world of immortal cultivation, the distance of information transmission is limited, and even if it is only the world of immortal cultivation in Dachu, it is extremely vast.

The limited distance of information transmission, coupled with the extremely vast territory, to achieve this, it means that countless information transfer objects are needed, placed in various places in Dachu, to carry out the flow of information.

But given the environment of the world of immortal cultivation, this is obviously difficult to do. After all, for immortal cultivators, the vast mountains and rivers of Dachu are only useful for spiritual veins and various spiritual mineral resources.

The tentacles of rule are all spread around the various spiritual veins, and no one cares about the vast secular world with poor spiritual energy and no resources.

With such a ruling structure, outside the market, it is secular and outside the law of the world of immortal cultivation.

To establish an information dissemination system covering the entire Dachu, such a situation and environment is obviously impossible.

Moreover, the most common and most popular information transmission tools in the world of immortal cultivation are the sound transmission notes and sound transmission orders, which have relatively large limitations, rather than this information transmission system with a central coordination.

The reason is obviously very simple.

After all, the principle of information transmission of sound transmission notes and sound transmission orders is one-way, two-way, or multi-directional direct communication.

There is no transfer in the middle, and there is no artificial center. Moreover, the transmission of information is only a moment, which is basically difficult to be intercepted and spied on.

And this kind of covering information system has transfer and center, which means that any information in it is stored, and naturally it can be checked and spied on by people.

Moreover, this possibility is very large.

There are risks in any transfer and any storage center.

With the vigilance of immortal cultivators, this point alone is basically doomed. Unless it is a mandatory internal connection between major forces, it is difficult to accept it.

But it is undeniable that this information system has extremely high technical content and contains a huge knowledge system.

Just like the puppet master, it is a branch system subdivided from the weapon refining system, and it also integrates the knowledge system of talismans. It is completely self-contained and belongs to one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

If he had not obtained the all-encompassing general outline of weapon refining from the Xiandao Sect, it would be difficult for him to have any knowledge and understanding in this area.

After being surprised, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If such a system covering the entire cultivation world could be established, it would obviously be a revolution for the Great Chu cultivation world.

The changes brought about must be earth-shaking.

However, such an information system... only has such an effect...

"This thing is quite magical. Brother Mu, look, there is a new task. There were 101 foundation-building pills in the contribution treasury just now, but now there are only 95 left..."

Xu Yuan manipulated the contract contact order while introducing it with some pride.

Chu Mu didn't reply, and silently looked at the exchangeable treasures in the contribution treasury.

Like this information system, this contribution treasure house is also all-encompassing.

Various kinds of elixirs with different effects, spiritual medicines, spiritual materials, magic tools, spiritual tools...

In just a few breaths of Xu Yuan's introduction, he saw several kinds of spiritual materials he needed.

"You need to complete a task every year. Have you completed your task this year?"

After a moment, Chu Mu looked at Xu Yuan and asked.

"Not yet, I'm still considering it."

"Be more cautious, pay attention to safety."

After a word of advice, Chu Mu didn't say anything more.

After all, he has a Taoist partner and is a father. He can't arrange everything as usual.

"Don't worry, Brother Mu."

Xu Yuan smiled, pushed open the door, and several people walked into the room.

This time, Chu Mu didn't stay too long. After learning about many things in the recent cultivation world, he walked out of Xu Yuan's house and went straight to the inner street market.

As Xu Yuan said, the current Shuitianfang has completely changed its nature.

Most of the immortal cultivators on the street were wearing standard robes, and they were obviously cultivators from various families of the Righteous Alliance.

If compared with the secular world, the current Shuitianfang has changed from a prosperous place where merchants and travelers gather to a military stronghold with heavy troops.

However, the war in the immortal world is obviously completely different from the secular war.

There is no so-called gain or loss of a city or a place, there is only the annihilation of the enemy's living forces.

Of course, one thing is very obvious.

Just like the secular wars he saw along the way, this war in the immortal world, the fighting of countless immortal cultivators, does not seem to have much significance.

The final victory or defeat of this war obviously depends on those legendary beings standing at the top of the Changsheng Sect and the Righteous Alliance... those high-level cultivators who look down on all living beings.

The victory or defeat between those legendary beings is the final victory or defeat of this war.

Otherwise, even if the war continued and all the low-level cultivators of the other side were wiped out, as long as the battles between the legendary beings did not determine the winner, then this war would obviously not end.

Judging from the situation he knew now, in this war, the top legendary beings of the Changsheng Sect and the Zhengdao League obviously did not determine the winner, and seemed to have formed a tacit understanding.

Generals versus generals, kings versus kings.

The cultivators who really appeared on the battlefield, the highest cultivation level seemed to be only Jindan Zhenren.

Moreover, under this tacit understanding, the battlefield was basically a battle of the same level.

Jindan Zhenren versus Jindan Zhenren, foundation-building cultivator versus foundation-building cultivator, Qi training cultivator versus Qi training cultivator.

Each realm has its own battlefield. Although they are one, under this tacit understanding of generals versus generals and kings versus kings, they all do not interfere with each other.

Although it is a bit difficult to understand, it seems to be in line with common sense.

After all, if there is no tacit understanding, both sides will act recklessly...

Even if he is a cultivator who has just entered the foundation building stage, before his mana is exhausted, it is almost easy to slaughter against the Qi training stage.

If a legendary Yuanying Zhenren does not follow the rules and acts recklessly, it will probably be a doomsday disaster for the entire cultivation world.

After all, within the same realm, if one is obsessed with hiding and playing rogue, it is basically equal to...no solution if the cultivation methods are not too different!

And the legendary existence of the Yuanying monk is obviously the top existence in the world of Dachu immortality...

Thoughts flowed, and finally, Chu Mu also stopped in front of a large hall at the end of Fangshi.

Contribution Hall.

The three simple characters on the plaque are very simple and clear.

There is also an endless stream of immortal cultivators entering and exiting the hall.

Chu Mu pondered for a moment. Before entering Fangshi, the question that was lingering in his mind resurfaced again.

Once the chaos broke out, it exceeded his expectations and swept the entire Dachu Immortal Realm.

And what he has seen and heard since coming out of seclusion also proves that the facts are true.

The entire Da Chu Immortal Realm is basically in the flames of war. Even if the land has not been affected by the flames of war, it will inevitably be affected accordingly, and it is difficult to have absolute peace.

His previous thoughts of avoiding trouble were undoubtedly eliminated at their source.

Since it's the same wherever he goes, it's obvious that he has to think about how to seek greater benefits for himself in this troubled world.

After all, for him, entering the foundation-building realm is basically a new reincarnation, and it is not much different from the poverty when he first entered the immortal path.

He has very few of the huge resources needed for foundation building practice.

And with his spiritual root qualifications and without enough resources to support him, his current cultivation in the early stages of foundation building is probably the end.

In troubled times, there are countless opportunities.

The employment contract that we currently understand is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for most casual cultivators.

For him, too, apparently.

As for the risks…

In the immortal path of a casual cultivator, where can you get benefits without taking risks?

He pondered for a moment, the gains and losses running through his mind, and then he took a step forward and entered the hall of contribution.

At the same time, the restrained cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm was revealed unabashedly.

At this moment, the expressions of many immortal cultivators who were still walking around changed drastically, and they respectfully gave way to the road. The originally bustling flow of people suddenly became empty.

As soon as Chu Mu stepped into the hall, a woman wearing a robe from the Righteous Alliance quickly came up to him.

"Senior, are you here to sign an employment contract with this alliance?"

Chu Mu nodded slightly, neither denying nor admitting.

"Senior, please..."

The woman raised her finger to the back hall with a respectful attitude.

Chu Mu nodded and looked around the entire hall. The layout was similar to the mission hall in the Jade Emperor Valley.

There are huge screens in a circle, with information flashing on the screen. Below the screen, there is a counter that is also surrounded.

Behind the counter, a disciple of the Righteous Alliance wearing a standard robe was busy.

In front of the counter, there are many immortal cultivators lined up in an orderly manner, and their cultivation levels are basically in the Qi training realm.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he also had some understanding in his heart.

Just from what I saw and heard in Shuitianfang, it is not difficult to see that everything is in order.

A combined force that occupies most of the Chu Immortal Realm can put everything in order within just two or three years.

It must have been a long-standing plan.

Everything corresponds to the previous overt and covert struggles.

In the back hall, there is a bright room that can accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded. The room decoration is simple but exquisite.

A set of antique tables and chairs are elegantly arranged. In the corner of the room, there is a bronze incense burner. The faint fragrance lingers and gives people an inexplicable refreshing feeling.

"Senior, please sit down."

The woman led the way respectfully and waved toward the door. Immediately, a woman dressed as a maid came with a tray.

Several kinds of spiritual fruits, snacks, and a pot of spiritual tea were also placed on the table beside Chu Mu.

The woman in palace clothes picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Chu Mu.

"This is our alliance's specialty Qingning tea. It has the effect of calming and calming the mind. Senior, please try it."

Chu Mu took the tea, but did not taste it, but put it on the table.

Seeing this, the woman in palace clothes quickly took out two contracts and placed them respectfully in front of Chu Mu.

"Senior, this is the employment contract of our alliance. This one is the guest contract of our alliance. Senior, please take a look..."

Chu Mu glanced at the woman and raised his hand to pick up the employment contract. The very simple contents were no different from what Xu Yuan said.

The other volume of guest contract contains much more content. More content naturally means more restrictions.

Of course, the treatment is much better.

In addition to the monthly fixed spiritual stone salary, you can also enjoy discounts for contributing to the treasury in exchange for items. The selection of tasks can also be done in the same way as the disciples within the Righteous Alliance, instead of doing dirty work like an employment contract.

The difference is obvious, and how to choose is also very clear.

"I heard that you issued a new decree some time ago, saying that you can exchange spiritual veins?"

Chu Mu put down the guest contract, looked at the woman and asked.

The woman glanced at the guest contract that was put down, her face did not change, and she remained respectful:

"Senior, you are right. According to the regulations of this alliance, with a contribution value of 100,000, you can exchange it for a first-level low-grade spiritual vein."

"The location of the redeemed spiritual veins is random, but no matter whether after redeeming the spiritual veins, whether to establish a family, a market, or personal practice, there is one prerequisite, and that is to be under the jurisdiction of this alliance."

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows: "In other words, the prerequisite for redeeming spiritual veins is to join your Righteous Alliance?"

"Yes, but this alliance is established in the form of an alliance, and it is extremely lenient to the families affiliated with it..."

Chu Mu smiled and said nothing more. With a slight movement of his spiritual sense, he directly put Chu Mu's name on this employment contract.

As for the spiritual vein...

He was somewhat tempted. After all, a spiritual vein means a force, a treasure pot.

However, he didn't like being constrained by others.

Moreover, the value of the contribution is still unclear. It's too early now.

"This is your contract contact order, senior."

The woman took the contract and handed over a token respectfully.

"According to the regulations of this alliance, you are at the foundation building stage, so this is a first-class contract contact order. You can consult intelligence in the shadow hall of this alliance once a year for free as a task guide."

"Moreover, a first-class contract contact order also has the authority to issue tasks in the task hall of this alliance, and can also..."

The woman spoke clearly, and Chu Mu looked at this contract contact order with interest.

Compared with Xu Yuan's, the material is obviously much higher-grade. In the perception of spiritual sense, there are more than just two array bans on the jade token.

As he observed, Chu Mu seemed to have noticed something, and a faint smile also emerged.

This contract contact token actually has a series of array prohibitions such as positioning, sensing and monitoring.

With him, it is equivalent to the information network era of the previous life, with no privacy at all...

"Senior, this first-class contract contact token also has the effect of monitoring and positioning. It is mainly for the convenience of recording when you perform certain tasks, so as to facilitate the determination of rewards."

"Senior, you can put it in the storage space on weekdays, so that it can be isolated from positioning and monitoring..."

As if she noticed the change in Chu Mu's expression, the woman hurriedly explained.

Chu Mu smiled, put the token into the storage talisman, and without saying much, he stood up and went directly out of the room...
