My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 459 - 182: Daze Fang City, Golden Bow and Silver Bullet_3

"..."

"Who in the world doesn’t dream of eternal life?"

Chen Sansi retorted, "However, I sincerely wish to ask everyone here what drives us all to desperately seek immortality."

"What else could it be?"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Lu Boqin thought about it and laughed, "Of course, it’s the desire to do whatever one wants."

"Brother Lu is right."

"Immortals are unrestrained and free!"

"..."

"I might slightly differ from everyone here."

Chen Sansi said candidly, "My pursuit of the Immortal Path is not about wanting to do whatever I wish, but rather about not wanting to do anything I don’t wish to do."

"Isn’t that the same thing?"

Lu Boqin and the others felt he was deliberately being obscure, seeming to want to be different.

"Steward Xu."

Chen Sansi asked, "Do you know of any other ways to earn Spirit Stones?"

"Yes, plenty."

Xu Youliang pointed at the staircase, "Downstairs in the main hall, there are various notices for apprenticeships and bounty tasks available that can earn Spirit Stones; you can check them out if you’re interested."

The others handled the Cave Mansion procedures.

Chen Sansi went downstairs alone.

The walls were covered with various notices.

[Golden Spirit Mountain, recruiting 500 miners]

[Two Spirit Crystals daily, paid monthly,]

Two Spirit Crystals?!

Chen Sansi estimated in his mind.

Isn’t that equivalent to only six Spirit Stones a month, seventy a year, and just a lower-grade Cave Mansion costs thirty per year, meaning half of one’s annual income would need to be handed over.

That’s quite severe, and it’s not even the base line.

[Daze Fang City, recruiting spirit farmers]

[Depending on the quality of the spirit field, the annual rent starts at fifty Spirit Stones per acre.]

...

[Hundred Elixir Workshop, recruiting alchemy apprentices]

[Requirements: tuition fee of eight Spirit Stones, ten years of learning, thirty years of service]

...

[Swallowing Fire Mountain Villa, recruiting artifact refining apprentices]

[Requirements: tuition fee of twelve Spirit Stones, ten years of learning...]

...

And so on.

Astounding!

Chen Sansi carefully calculated.

Attempting to rely on manual labor to settle and cultivate in Daze Fang City, if everything goes as expected, the budget would likely break even, hardly saving any Spirit Stones.

Yet, crafts like talismans, alchemy, and artifacts seem to be more lucrative, but acquiring these skills also demands a heavy price, potentially wasting decades.

Is this cultivation?

It appears that the lives of lower-level Cultivators are no better than ordinary mortals.

Chen Sansi suddenly realized something.

The middle-grade Spirit Stone he had was worth a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, definitely a substantial amount.

His sister-in-law.

Was unexpectedly generous.

Wait...

Where did Gui Ti get so many Spirit Stones?

And where did she learn her Immortal Law?

[Daze Fang City, recruiting Law Enforcement Deacons]

[Requirements: Martial Arts Realm pinnacle of First Realm and above]

[Twenty Spirit Stones per month starting]

Martial Arts Realm pinnacle...

Chen Sansi inquired and learned.

In the Cultivation World, the levels of Martial Arts differ from the mortal world.

The First Realm, Transcend Mortality.

The Second Realm, True Power.

A Martial Saint in the mortal world belongs to the late-stage of the First Realm, Transcend Mortality, with formidable combat ability; often they can receive relatively generous compensation if willing to work for someone.

Currently, Chen Sansi, proficient in the Profound Image Realm, was about to enter the small accomplishment stage, and was also in the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm.

He needed to advance to Martial Saint soon!

From what he could see, a Martial Saint, no matter where they went, would have the ability to defend themselves and find a place to stand.

Beyond all these.

The Cultivators had other ways to make substantial money

Such as bounties, hunting.

There are many types of bounties, including but not limited to killing for Cultivators, searching for rare Spiritual Medicines...

Hunting.

involves hunting spiritual beasts or Demon Beasts.

The Exotic Beasts in the Luotian Mountain Range are comparable to High Realm Martial Artists; the Demon Beasts in the Cultivation World must also possess strengths comparable to Cultivators. Hunting has always been a life-threatening profession.

As for the bounties, needless to say.

They require not only courage but also strength.

[Ghost-faced Demon]

[Bounty: ten thousand Spirit Stones, plus permanent rights to a top-grade Cave Mansion]

How much?

Ten thousand!

In a situation where the vast majority of Cultivators earn less than a hundred Spirit Stones a year, the bounty for Gui Qi was outrageously high; it seems the yield from Spirit Veins is indeed extremely high.

No wonder so many Cultivators risk their lives to hunt Gui Qi.

If one could get those ten thousand Spirit Stones, it would likely be many years before they had to worry about income again.

The Martial Arts Realm of Gui Qi...

Probably True Power?

Similar to his master.

According to the Qi Observation Skill, the Spiritual Energy inside Gui Qi was even stronger than that of his master.

Wait, where’s the master?

Chen Sansi recalled that before setting out, his Fourth Senior Brother had said he might encounter the master, and since both had similar realms and were both Martial Artists... could they actually be the same person?

They look different; they wield different weapons.

Come to think of it, doesn’t he himself have entirely different faces?

But ultimately, there’s no evidence...

And according to reports, Gui Qi is from the Cultivation World; it’s better not to jump to conclusions if he misidentifies his master, as that would be somewhat embarrassing.

...

Chen Sansi began to calculate his own assets.

Two for gathering information, three for riding the boat.

Low-grade Spirit Stones, just under two left.

The middle-grade Spirit Stone used during cultivation consumed much, not knowing how much it is still worth, but definitely no more than forty low-grade Spirit Stones, just barely enough for one year of a low-grade Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion.

But Chen Sansi wouldn’t stay.

At least, not for now.

But this trip shouldn’t be in vain.

He left the Steward Hall and began to wander in the workshop trading area, preparing to see what he could buy to take back.
