Foundation Building Pills were a major means by which the Three Sects maintained control over Liang Country, exerting influence over various powers.
In the marketplaces operated by Foundation Establishment powers, Foundation Building Pills were never sold as regular items. Instead, one had to wait for the grand auction to be held, where competing parties vie for them, clashing swords and spears, amidst bloodshed and carnage… Only then could the owner of the Foundation Building Pills be determined.
Too difficult!
As a result, many cultivators in Liang Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm had to break through on their own, without the aid of Foundation Building Pills.
The number of casualties, you can imagine.
But now, the Foundation Building Pills had been decentralized. Not only were they available for sale at Green Jade Mountain, but in every major marketplace that was formerly under the control of the Three Sects and now in others’ hands, the pills were openly sold, and the prices had even dropped significantly.
The Cultivation Realm of Liang Country was boiling over with excitement. Countless Qi Cultivation completers among the cultivators spared no effort and expense in gathering Spirit Stones to purchase Foundation Building Pills.
If this had happened before, this move would definitely have sparked a bloody and fierce upheaval in the Cultivation Realm of Liang Country, with numerous cultivators turning into Robbing Cultivators, plundering wherever they could.
But now, with the Three Sects eradicated, the Spell King ruled the world.
Top ten Golden Core cultivators and a hundred Foundation Establishment enforcers patrolled in all directions.
The remnants of the Three Sects and unlawful Robbing Cultivators were hunted down to the ends of the earth, wiped out completely.
Looting was no longer an option.
If one desired Spirit Stones, they had to earn them.
Either by seeking the hidden and the mysterious or by living off one’s skills.
But in the lands of Liang Country, how many such secret realms were there to explore?
So, the vast majority of cultivators opted for the following path.
To sell themselves!
To work!
To sell themselves to the Green Jade Sect, to work for that “King Shifa.”
Spiritual Plant Farmers, Beast Tamers, Pill Masters, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Masters, Array Masters…
Hundred Arts of Cultivation, each with their own role to play.
As long as you have a skill, Green Jade Mountain has a place for you.
Working for Green Jade Mountain, taking the Spirit Stones dispensed by Green Jade Mountain, going to marketplaces run by Green Jade Mountain, purchasing various items produced by Green Jade Mountain to enhance one’s cultivation and strengthen oneself, then going back to work for the Green Jade Sect with greater strength, doing more work, earning more Spirit Stones…
A perfect cycle!
On the surface, it seemed that King Shifa was at a loss, selling at reduced prices and earning less.
But in reality, through this move, he got the whole Liang Country going, getting all powers and cultivators involved in the system established by Green Jade Mountain, working for him, contributing to him.
Now, the entire Liang Country, the whole Cultivation Realm, was working for him, farming for him, cultivating land for him, taming beasts for him, raising fish for him, mining and quarrying for him, doing alchemy and Artifact Refining for him…
In short, if you wanted to cultivate, if you wanted to advance, then you had to contribute your skill to Green Jade Mountain.
What, you don’t have a skill?
No matter, Green Jade Mountain can train you.
“Taoist Scriptures: Agricultural Book”
“Taoist Scriptures: Craftsmanship Book”
“Taoist Scriptures: Alchemy Book”
Mana Farming Skill, Cloud Cover and Rain, pest elimination techniques, methods for increasing yield and production…
Hundred Arts of Cultivation, all with their respective Mana Points, pass on training.
As long as you are a cultivator, proficient in using mana, you can sign documents with Green Jade Mountain, receive training from Green Jade Mountain, until you have mastered a skill, and then… work for Green Jade Mountain again.
What, you’re not even a cultivator?
No matter, apart from Taoist Scriptures, Green Jade Mountain has also released Martial Arts Scriptures. Even if you’re a mortal with no Spiritual Root and cannot practice Cultivation, you can still train in the ways of the Martial Path.
Even though Martial Path techniques progress slowly, Martial Artists have a much stronger constitution than ordinary people and are capable of handling laborious work.
Nowadays, Green Jade Mountain is implementing the Equal-field Method in Liang Country to increase production and enhance the power of the people, thereby increasing the population.
As the population increases, the number of people with a Spiritual Root will inevitably increase as well, resulting in more becoming Cultivators.
It’s said that Green Jade Mountain also plans on “Spreading martial arts all over” and is striving to have all the ordinary people in Liang Country who cannot cultivate learn the Martial Arts Scripture, turning everyone into a Martial Artist.
Martial Artists have robust physiques, which can fully support childbearing, unlike high-tier Cultivators who find it difficult to produce offspring.
As long as Green Jade Mountain’s grand plan of “Spreading martial arts all over” is successful, it won’t be long before the population of Liang Country and the number of Cultivators will double.
These added numbers of people… will end up working for Green Jade Mountain!
Working has become the only way out for the future Cultivators of Liang Country.
At least, this is the case before that “King Shifa” is overthrown.
As long as he does not die, as long as he can keep the situation under control, as long as Green Jade Mountain’s output and the goods in the various markets keep flowing, then this situation, this system, will continue to be maintained.
All of Liang Country, all Cultivators, will have to work tirelessly for him, King Shifa, for his Green Jade Mountain.
Contributing strength, creating value!
This is just the effect brought about by one Foundation Building Pill.
Apart from the Foundation Building Pill, Green Jade Mountain is also preparing to lift other restrictions.
Golden Core Skill, Forming Core Spiritual Objects.
The Golden Core Skill and Forming Core Spiritual Objects, which have been controlled by the Three Sects with few being released, as well as the life-extending Spirit Pills, are all ready to be made available by Green Jade Mountain.
When that time comes, Liang Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm will surely boil, sparking an immensely fervent “working frenzy!”
To turn one’s hand and bring clouds, to overturn it and bring rain!
To stir the waves in the Four Seas, to sweep across the world with a tide!
This is Xiao Miao’s greatest feeling toward the situation, and the reason he is sighing to himself at this moment.
Why he sighs, is because he is also caught in the current of this era, swept away by the overwhelming trend.
Like him, equally stripped bare, he now has to work sincerely and diligently for Green Jade Mountain.
There is no other way, no other alternative!
Elder Zhen?
Elder Zhen can’t create Spirit Stones or Spirit Pills for him!
In the current situation of Liang Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm, if you don’t work for Green Jade Sect, you won’t even have food to eat.
Therefore, Xiao Miao has no choice, even though Green Jade Mountain no longer imposes Taoism on them, these “surviving criminals,” and doesn’t even restrict their movements, he can’t leave Green Jade Mountain.
Working has its differences in treatment, and as a sought-after position, Green Jade Mountain allows them to enjoy the immense benefit of the Green Jade Spiritual Vein, which countless “workers” are vying to enter.
He can’t leave, and has nowhere to go!
Since he can’t leave, he has decided not to leave.
This time is a tribulation, but also an opportunity.
Compared to the Three Sects, that King Shifa is harsh yet permissive toward Cultivators. As long as he can grasp and make good use of this, it would be a huge boost.
He must seize this opportunity!
“The Competition of the Chosen?”
“Old Tian is a hundred and fifty years old and still dares to try for advancement, to take a chance.”
“I am a young man, how can I not dare to try my luck on the stage?”
“The Three Sects’ counterattack is imminent, I must make full use of Green Jade Mountain’s various wonders to improve my Cultivation and enhance my strength before King Shifa is overthrown!”
“Tomorrow’s Competition of the Chosen will definitely have a place for me, Xiao Miao!”
“As for the auction…”
Xiao Miao glanced at the bustling Green Jade Market in the distance and touched the worn-out Storage Bag at his waist, sighed, and turned to leave, “Let’s talk about that next time!”
