Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1143: Chapter 553: Three Years Later at the Primordial Talisman Sect, Immortal Destiny—All-Embracing Myriad Flames (Part 2)

"So now the sect is vigorously developing the medicinal garden."

"Basically, every city on the Southern Continent has constructed a vast medicinal garden."

"This can be considered the top priority for development."

Shen Yanci nodded.

If there were only dozens or hundreds of disciples, there might be no need for large-scale cultivation.

But that’s not the case now.

In the realm of Primordial Talisman Sect, almost everyone can cultivate.

Imagine how many Spirit Medicines and Elixirs are consumed every year.

If there’s no large-scale cultivation of Spirit Medicines, it simply won’t satisfy the appetites of so many people.

"Currently, the True Disciple most skilled in cultivating Spirit Medicines should be that Mu Yuan."

"It’s said he possesses the legendary Wood Emperor Body, naturally compatible with Spirit Medicines."

"Any Spirit Medicine personally tended by him will have its growth cycle halved and its yield doubled."

"This guy doesn’t need to go out and adventure; merely staying within the sect allows him to accumulate a lot of Contribution Points."

"He should be the richest True Disciple by now."

Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl remarked ruefully.

People say Alchemists are the wealthiest profession, but little do they know that top-grade Spirit Plant Masters are the true rich ones.

Because Alchemists can fail in Alchemy.

If they fail, all the Spirit Medicines used in refining are wasted, causing a heavy loss.

Only top-tier Alchemists can increase the success rate of Alchemy and lower the cost to the minimum.

But for Spirit Plant Masters, it’s highly profitable with little cost involved.

Every year, they can earn substantial riches.

"There’s no way around it, Senior Brother Mu’s talent with Spirit Plants is just too high."

Shen Yanci nodded.

However, he knew that this Senior Brother didn’t possess the Wood Emperor Body.

Rather, he had the Immortal Destiny of Withered Wood Evergreen.

It is precisely because of such an Immortal Destiny that he can cultivate Spirit Medicines on a large scale.

This is Senior Brother Mu’s talent, and others can’t even be envious.

However, his talent isn’t bad either; it’s the Immortal Destiny of Fusion of a Thousand Fires.

This talent not only applies to Alchemy but also in combat.

As his Cultivation improves, the power of this Immortal Destiny becomes increasingly apparent.

"No wonder my master chose me as a True Disciple."

"It was all because of the Immortal Destiny I possess."

"I never thought that cultivators in the Cultivation Realm with special constitutions possess Life Charts."

"So special constitutions cannot be inherited; they can only be randomly obtained by anyone."

Shen Yanci’s eyes flickered.

Initially, he didn’t know what Life Charts were.

But his master revealed this to him without hiding anything.

Because of this, he could realize his true talent.

Honestly, the difference between knowing and not knowing is immense.

Once you know your talent, you can work hard in that direction.

In this way, no matter what you do, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Swoosh!

Thinking of this, Shen Yanci quickly left the volcano.

After all, he already obtained the Anomalous Fire hidden here, fulfilling the purpose of this trip entirely.

So there’s no need to stay here longer; it’s better to return to the sect to cultivate.

Soon, Shen Yanci returned to the nearby city, Flame Sun City.

This is a super city, accommodating ten billion people, already forming a gigantic nation.

Surrounded by city walls towering a hundred meters high, incredibly sturdy.

The city walls are engraved with dense Restriction Arrays and powerful Runes.

Even if a Divinity Transformation Cultivator forcefully invades, they will be killed by the Restriction Arrays here, completely turning to ashes.

It is precisely because of these magnificent city walls that numerous beast tides have been repelled, sheltering a large population.

Otherwise, the appearance of frequent beast tides would have caused devastating losses to humanity.

"Master is indeed foresighted."

"Knowing that Spiritual Energy Revival would bring terrifying beast tides."

"So he anticipated the construction of super cities, accommodating countless populations."

"If humanity still lived dispersedly as before, no one knows how many would die."

"Probably, just the passage of many Demon Beasts would wipe out village after village."

"But with the protection of the cities, there’s no worry of these beast tides attacks."

Gazing at this magnificent city, Shen Yanci felt deeply.

Initially, he couldn’t understand why his master made such decisions.

But as the Void Realm’s Spiritual Energy revived and numerous Demon Beasts rapidly emerged.

Those terrifying Demon Beasts breed extremely quickly.

It’s unknown how many can be spawned in just a year.

Now, those desolate mountains and forests have become the domains of Demon Beasts and Desolate Beasts.

If humanity continued to live scattered as before, no one knows how many might die.

It can be said that his master’s foresight and planning were incredibly prescient.

Moreover, year after year of repairs have made these super cities increasingly strong in defense.

Like immovable fortresses standing on the Southern Continent.

Sufficient to shelter countless humans.

"However, this doesn’t come without drawbacks."

"Living together can lower the cost of protection."

"But if the city is breached, the death toll would be too high."

Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl realized the downside of the city system: too many people gathered, and the city absolutely cannot fall, or the casualties would be enormous.

"Actually, this point poses no problem."

"Because our Primordial Talisman Sect has mastered the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman."

"If any city encounters an issue, cultivators from other cities can rush to assist immediately."

"Enemies might think they are attacking one city but are actually confronting the entirety of humanity on the Southern Continent."

"This is the strength of the city system, integrating humanity’s power."

"If a truly irresistible danger emerges, humanity would face extinction anyway."

Shen Yanci believes this isn’t a flaw.

If such a dreadful enemy emerges that even cities can’t withstand, humanity would die regardless of what they do, even if living dispersedly, it would be a slow demise.

"Moreover, Master has a solution for this point."

"It is to retreat into the Secret Realm World."

"If such an enemy appears, then hiding in the Secret Realm World would be best."

"At least the Secret Realm World can serve as the final fortress for Primordial Talisman Sect."

"If even the Secret Realm World can’t withstand, then extinction is the inevitable destiny."

Shen Yanci said lightly.

He feels that such a plan is already very perfect, even considering the worst outcome.

If this still can’t avoid extinction, then there’s no help.

This is the arrangement of Heaven.

It is also the fate of Primordial Talisman Sect.

"Thinking this way, it’s not without reason."

"But now everyone can cultivate, and the consumption of Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicines is too great."

"Won’t there be worries about a food crisis?"

Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl also agrees with this.

However, it feels that feeding such a large population is overly challenging.

If a food crisis occurs, it could be a massive problem.

Internal conflicts might arise.

Often, the strongest fortress crumbles from within.

"This is indeed a concern of the sect."

"To address this, the sect launched the Spirit Rice Storage Plan."

"In fact, over the past years, Spirit Rice has been harvested abundantly, far from being consumed."

"However, if Spirit Rice isn’t stored properly, it will spoil in two or three years."

"But the sect’s research allows storing vast quantities of Spirit Rice in Life Source Stones."

"Even after millions of years, the Spirit Rice won’t spoil, remaining as fresh as new."

"It’s for this reason that over decades, the sect has accumulated vast quantities of Spirit Rice."

"Currently, even if no Spirit Rice is cultivated starting now, there’s enough for the entire population for a hundred years."

Shen Yanci explained.

Clearly, this is Primordial Talisman Sect’s Spirit Rice storage plan.

This is also important for stabilizing Spirit Rice prices.

After all, the yield of Spirit Rice varies each year, sometimes abundant, sometimes scarce.

If prices fluctuate wildly, it would easily impact the pricing and sales of Spirit Rice.

Since implementing this plan, Spirit Rice prices have completely stabilized, unchanged for decades.
