Chapter 8: "Living Long is the True Skill."
Chapter 8: "Living Long is the True Skill."
"It's actually pretty good."
Chen Qiu understood Fei Long's thoughts and looked down at Huang Shikai, who was embedded in the ground before him, and whispered, "Everyone's initial entry is random, which means, from a certain perspective, that the path to rise is much broader."
"Even ordinary people have a chance to cultivate immortality now."
"Otherwise, if the path to ascend was completely blocked, the class system in this world would be too rigid, and people like us would be squeezed painfully."
He realized that this young master before him might not be very smart, as he couldn't understand why this young master would expose his own entry. If he kept silent, they wouldn't have known what his entry was.
It might take some time to figure it out.
Perhaps, before half a shichen, the microcosm might end, and they still wouldn't have figured it out, and this young master would truly leave alive.
But since the young master had exposed himself, they didn't need to research anymore.
He waved his hand to signal the Wolf Sovereign to start digging a pit, and walked over to the few corpses nearby, taking all the storage bags from their waists.
Digging a pit wasn't that much work.
Why did this guy think he was invincible?
Soon—
Chen Qiu organized all the loot from this harvest.
Three sets of lower-grade yellow-tier heart methods and one set of middle-grade yellow-tier heart method.
Three sets of lower-grade yellow-tier arts of cultivation.
Seven Spirit Treasures emitting faint light.
As well as nine storage bags and over ten taels of broken silver.
"We're rich, we're rich! This time, we're truly rich!"
Fei Long stared at the pile of treasures in front of him, his entire body trembling from excitement, his voice quivering with extreme fervor, "In the past five months, all the wealth I've accumulated doesn't even amount to one percent of what's here!"
"How did we suddenly become rich? Let me think."
"Tell me the price first."
Chen Qiu glanced at the Wolf Sovereign who was still digging vigorously nearby, then looked at the pile of treasures. He casually placed the woodcutting knife in his embrace, remaining vigilant. Although he had no intention of killing Fei Long and taking everything, he had to be cautious of Fei Long.
He felt grateful to Fei Long and had a good impression of him, but when the stakes were high, people could easily lose their rationality.
"Huff!"
Fei Long took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, "An ordinary art of cultivation, when recorded, can be viewed by countless people if the owner is willing. But do you know why so many people risk their lives to fight for the arts of cultivation in the Celestial Path Secret Realm?"
"After all, they are just lower-grade yellow-tier arts of cultivation, and in the cultivation world's marketplace, a set like this is only worth 10 taels of silver, not too expensive."
"Although they are all common goods, 10 taels of silver can indeed buy a set of lower-grade yellow-tier art of cultivation."
"Cultivating arts of cultivation requires time and understanding."
"The deeper one's cultivation in the art, the greater the power it can unleash. It is divided into five levels: Beginner, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Hall Achievement, and Great Perfection."
"For a normal person to cultivate a lower-grade yellow-tier art of cultivation to the Major Achievement level and unleash almost all its power, it would take at least a year of arduous cultivation!"
"The arts of cultivation produced in the Celestial Path Secret Realm carry the blessing of Heaven's Dao. Each art can only be learned by one cultivator. The arts are embedded in jade slips, which self-destruct after reading. Once mastered, one starts at the Major Achievement level!"
"And the speed of cultivating to the Great Perfection level is also four to five times faster than with ordinary arts of cultivation!"
Fei Long paused, his eyes filled with excitement as he stared at the jade slips on the ground, "It's because of this reason that the arts of cultivation produced in the Celestial Path Secret Realm are extremely rare and their prices remain high!"
"A set of lower-grade yellow-tier art of cultivation from the Celestial Path Secret Realm is worth 3 spirit stones!"
"A lower-grade yellow-tier heart method is worth 3 spirit stones!"
"A middle-grade yellow-tier heart method is worth 10 spirit stones!"
"These Spirit Treasures are all lower-grade yellow-tier, each worth 5 spirit stones!"
"The storage bags aren't valuable. Excluding them, the total value of everything here is 63 spirit stones!!!"
Chen Qiu nodded and said softly, "How much is one spirit stone worth in terms of cash?"
"One Spirit Stone can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to 1000 copper coins. So, one Spirit Stone is worth 100,000 copper coins."
". "
Chen Qiu remained silent, not speaking further. He didn't know much about the prices in this world, only that he could rent a decent courtyard house for 300 copper coins and buy a hearty meal of pig head meat and fried knife for less than 100 copper coins.
He worked hard chopping wood all day and earned only a meager 10 to 20 copper coins.
Even after learning how to kill yesterday, he had only gained over 2000 copper coins.
But the items in front of him now were worth a staggering 6.3 million copper coins.
Based on his daily earnings of 20 copper coins from chopping wood, he would need to work non-stop for 315,000 days, or 863 years, to save up that much money.
And now—
Just by entering the Celestial Path Secret Realm, killing a few people, and picking up some treasures.
He had avoided walking down the wrong path for 863 years.
After a long silence, Chen Qiu finally spoke up, "Chopping wood is indeed not a very promising profession."
"Killing seems to be more cost-effective."
"Hehe."
Fat Dragon, who had been excited a moment ago, suddenly let out a dry laugh, "Well, Brother Chen Qiu, you shouldn't have such thoughts. You know, those who kill will eventually die by the sword. We shouldn't just focus on the immediate gains but also consider those who died for these treasures."
"A hundred people, and only the two of us are left alive."
"Think about the terrifying death rate. This path may lead to sudden wealth, but it's even easier to meet a sudden death!"
Just then—
"Nonsense! I'm not dead yet!"
Huang Shikai, who was struggling to stay conscious, shouted in fear from the side, "Big brothers, I was wrong! Please spare my life, and I'll repay you handsomely later! We're all in the same boat, please show some mercy!"
At the rate the Wolf Sovereign was digging, Huang Shikai would be dead before the Microcosm closed.
"Don't worry, your time is almost up too."
Fat Dragon gave Huang Shikai a dismissive glance and turned his attention back to Chen Qiu, his expression turning serious as he continued, "Brother Chen Qiu, you and I indeed have this opportunity today, but I want to tell you something. We mustn't let this sudden wealth cloud our judgment."
"To be honest, there were over ten people who entered this world with me."
"The strongest among them even succeeded in Foundation Establishment within the third month."
"But five months have passed, and I'm the only one still alive."
"On the path of cultivation, speed is not the true measure of ability. Only those who live long enough possess true skill."
". "
Chen Qiu fell silent again, but after a brief pause, he looked at Fat Dragon and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile at the seriousness in his eyes, "You're really afraid of death."
"Of course, who isn't?"
"Yeah."
Chen Qiu glanced at the corpses scattered nearby and said casually, "They weren't afraid."
"So they died, and I survived!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
He didn't continue with that topic but instead turned his gaze to the mountain of treasures before them.
"Let's divide these up. How should we split them between the two of us?"
PS: Thanks to Boss "Niaraeth" for the 10,000 Qidian coins, and to Bosses "Xingwule" and "Xiaoxiongkengle" for their coin and monthly ticket support. New book set sail, thanks for the support!
