Chapter 1181 Poor
As for who will have the last laugh, it all depends on their abilities.
However, in Li Zhirui's opinion, the achievements of those cultivators and demon cultivators are probably just for others.
After all, how can they turn over in the territory of the Daqian Dynasty?
These things have nothing to do with Li Zhirui. He was just curious and took a detour to take a look. He didn't want to participate in the fight between the various camps.
Of course, even if he wanted to, his family and he were not qualified.
So after a stroll, he set off to Kunlun Province.
The last time he came here was hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years, Kunlun Province has become more and more prosperous, and Dongshan City where he is located is even more so. Cultivators come and go, and people are flowing, which looks very crowded.
This situation surprised Li Zhirui. Although Kunlun Province used to be very lively, it was far less exaggerated than this. Something big must have happened to attract a large number of cultivators.
After thinking for a while, he entered a somewhat deserted restaurant nearby. People were flocking there, so it naturally looked deserted.
"Hey, man, what's going on?"
Li Zhirui casually ordered a few spiritual foods before asking the reason.
"Senior, have you just arrived in Kunlun Province?"
Seeing him nod, the waiter continued, "No wonder you don't know that this grand occasion is the day when all the major forces open their gates this year."
"All the immortal forces stationed in Kunlun Province have announced the requirements for accepting disciples today. Naturally, everyone wants to know it first, so that they have time to prepare for the conditions of a certain family or a few families."
Hearing this, Li Zhirui was a little surprised and asked curiously, "I see that most of the people in the crowd are cultivators with cultivation and are not young. Will the major forces accept them into the gates?"
"Of course! The sea is open to all rivers and is inclusive. The major forces are very ambitious!" There was a bit of pride in his tone.
Then, he changed the subject and said, "But there are also different levels, such as menial disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples and true disciples, and most people are the first two."
Li Zhirui understood, but even so, he was still surprised by such a move.
In theory, the more powerful the force, the stricter the requirements for the disciples, but they did the opposite, and not just one, but all the forces did so.
He felt that there must be a secret hidden in it, and they could get a lot of benefits from it, otherwise the major forces would not make such a seemingly unwise decision.
It's just that there is a layer of fog, and Li Zhirui couldn't guess their real purpose.
"Tell me about the conditions of some forces in previous years."
As he said, he threw a few spirit stones into the hands of the guy.
"I will tell you everything I know!"
The man's eyes lit up, and he quickly put away the spirit stone, and then said: "Take Zixiao Sect as an example. They only accept cultivators with thunder magic talent, such as thunder spirit roots, thunder spirit bodies, or those who can comprehend a hint of inspiration from the thunder pool."
"A few years ago, there was a Yuanying cultivator with a bone age of more than 200 years. He comprehended a magical power from the thunder pool and was accepted as a candidate inner disciple on the spot. As long as he returned to the mountain gate and passed some tests and trials, he could officially join Zixiao Sect and soar to the sky from then on!"
"And the Baihua Palace accepted a disciple with a ten thousand flower spirit body last year. It is said that she has now become a true seed."
...
"Oh? It seems that the major forces are really unconventional in recruiting talents!" Li Zhirui's eyes flashed, and he understood the reasons and benefits of those major forces doing so.
'All heroes in the world are within my grasp! '
This sentence is their vision.
Of course, since the immortal path only occupies one area of Dongzhou and part of the southern region, it is impossible to achieve such a grand goal.
The reason for this should be to gather luck!
You know, all things and spirits in the world have luck, and those cultivators with excellent qualifications usually have stronger luck.
The major forces accept them as their disciples, even if they are just menial disciples, they can get a little luck, not to mention the inner sect with closer relationships, or even the true disciples.
Of course, they can also get luck when they join a force.
However, Li Zhirui thinks that this matter is not as simple as he thought. Those forces are not good people. There must be a backhand.
After all, if the disciples do something that angers the heavens and the people and touches the karma, his force will also be affected.
Especially like the disciples they have now accepted into the mountain gate, a large part of them are casual cultivators, and as we all know, casual cultivators only care about interests.
As for wanting to teach them to "turn evil back to good"? Their personalities have long been fixed, and many habits are deeply rooted in their bones. I don’t know how much effort it will take to do it.
So in order to avoid being implicated, they must have some special means.
"Senior, the spiritual food you ordered has been served, please enjoy it slowly."
The waiter's voice woke Li Zhirui from his deep thoughts. He waved his hand and asked him to go down. Since his thoughts had been interrupted, he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on tasting it.
Although the grade of the spiritual food was not high, it tasted good. As for the spiritual energy contained in it, it was almost nothing for a cultivator like Li Zhirui.
Speaking of which, the reason why the spiritual food path is considered a minor path is that first, high-level ingredients are difficult to obtain, second, it is relatively mediocre in all aspects, such as increasing mana, healing, and cultivation. It is not as good as elixirs, and third, it is because the inheritance is incomplete.
The last and most important and fatal point is that it cannot be preserved for too long. Ordinary spiritual food will lose its spiritual energy in less than two hours.
As a result, spiritual food cannot be carried around like elixirs.
It is for these reasons that spiritual food has been hovering at a low level and cannot break through the shackles.
However, it is not without advantages. Spiritual food is nourishing and non-toxic, more gentle and easy to refine.
It is these advantages that make spiritual food popular among low-level cultivators. Many forces will specialize in special recipes for some outstanding juniors to eat.
The Li family also has a shallow spiritual food inheritance, which is also done in this way.
Speaking of which!
Just as Li Zhirui was tasting the spiritual food, a large group of cultivators walked into the restaurant, found a seat, and began to discuss the entry conditions for this grand opening of the mountain gate.
They communicated with each other and shared what they had.
Li Zhirui, who was sitting next to him, listened to the whole thing.
The most important point is that compared with the conditions in previous years, the requirements this time have been lowered a bit, allowing more cultivators to reach the threshold.
"Fang Daoist, you look so calm, are you sure about it?" A cultivator at the next table asked quietly.
"No, I don't plan to get involved." Daoist Fang shook his head. It was because he had no desires that he was so calm. "What?"
The cultivator at the same table looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he chose to give up this year when it was a great opportunity to join the mountain gate.
"Over the years, I have been secretly investigating why the major forces want to recruit disciples from casual cultivators like us. Finally, not long ago, I accidentally heard a piece of news."
Fang Daoyou lowered his voice and said, "The major forces accepted us and used us as cannon fodder from the beginning to fight against monsters, sea tribes, and demon cultivators."
"From the beginning, we have been discriminated against. Even if they are also menial disciples, the children they accepted from mortals have better cultivation methods than us! Always doing the dirtiest and most tiring work."
"What!"
In fact, they knew that they were used as cannon fodder, but they never expected that even the most important cultivation method would be specially deduced for them to practice.
But when they calmed down, no one asked to withdraw from this selection.
As casual cultivators like weeds, they can't survive without fighting hard. If they want higher cultivation and achievements, casual cultivators have no other qualifications, only one life!
And even if the cultivation method is treated differently, it is better than the incomplete cultivation method in their hands.
To a certain extent, as long as they don't give up the path of cultivation and seeking the truth, there is no other choice!
Li Zhirui shook his head slightly. They may not know the thoughts of those forces yet. They are far more vicious than they think. The skills and cannon fodder are just superficial problems. The luck is the root.
Once their luck falls to a certain level, all kinds of disasters will follow, and there is almost no possibility of survival!
After paying the bill, he got up and walked out of the restaurant. He did not stay in Dongshan City, but planned to go to the surrounding area for training, and then come back to rent a cave to retreat and impact the human fairyland.
The best place for training near Kunlun State is naturally the Wan Yao Mountains in the southwest.
This is a huge mountain range that stretches for millions of miles. From the first-level monsters to the earth fairyland monsters, their whereabouts can be found in the mountains.
In addition to being famous for monsters, there are also various spiritual creatures hidden in the mountains and forests!
So, this is the best place for training.
Just as Li Zhirui was about to enter the mountains, he suddenly saw a group of familiar monks flying into the dense woods from not far away.
They were the Daoist Fang who had been in the restaurant before.
Li Zhirui was a little curious. If Daoist Fang, who had given up the selection, went into the mountain at this time, he could understand it, but other cultivators also came with him. Were they not afraid of getting hurt and losing their strength, which would lead to their inability to join the mountain gate? Or were they persuaded to give up?
"Interesting!"
In his sight, the group of people moved quickly in the mountains as if they had a purpose.
Li Zhirui smiled and followed them quietly. He wanted to see what these cultivators were going to do.
About half an hour later, the group of cultivators stopped at the entrance of a cave.
"Daoist Fang, is the inheritance you mentioned in this cave?" A cultivator asked with a questioning look on his face.
Such a good cave should have been used as a cave by monsters a long time ago, and at worst it would have been occupied by wild beasts, but now there is nothing, and there is no smell at all! It's a bit too weird.
"Yes, this is also a cave I accidentally discovered. I had set up a cover before, so it was not discovered by monsters and wild beasts, but I destroyed it last time." Fellow Daoist Fang explained quickly.
"Well, since we are already here, why not go in and see if it is true as Fellow Daoist Fang said, there is a relic left by a great power here."
If it is true, then they don't have to fight as hard as before!
While Fellow Daoist Fang was explaining, Li Zhirui looked around and didn't find anything unusual.
Fellow Daoist Fang led the team and walked into the cave with a fierce and expectant look.
While they were still groping, Li Zhirui had already found a clue.
In the deepest part of the cave, there was indeed a skeleton of a human cultivator.
From the aura emanating from the bones, it was indeed a cultivator with a high level of cultivation.
Unfortunately, Li Zhirui did not find any inheritance items on the bones. To be more precise, it was an empty skeleton with nothing on it!
‘No! ’
Li Zhirui suddenly realized that something was wrong. The bones were too empty and there was nothing on them!
There was no trace of the clothes being torn!
If that was the case, there was only one reason. Someone had been here before and cleaned it up.
Thinking of this, Li Zhirui's eyes swept over the Taoist friend Fang. He was the biggest suspect.
“There really is a skeleton left by a senior. Look around. The inheritance is likely to be nearby!” The Taoist friend Fang shouted excitedly.
But he just opened his mouth, but his feet did not move at all!
Instead, the mana in his body began to circulate. When the magic power was complete, he attacked their vital points without hesitation.
‘Sure enough! ’
Li Zhirui had already guessed what would happen next.
"Ah!"
"Damn it, who is attacking us in secret!"
"Fang Daoyou? Why are you attacking us?"
Everyone was shocked, and then asked angrily.
"Hahahahaha..."
Fang Daoyou was like crazy, suddenly laughing non-stop, staring at them with a gloomy look like a snake, and said: "How unfair this world is! People like us can only become cannon fodder and die?"
"No! I will never accept it. Fortunately, I have good luck and accidentally discovered this relic and got a magic skill from it."
"As for you, just be my stepping stone to the top! This is also your honor."
Hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn't help shaking his head. That magic skill was probably a method spread by the demon cultivators. Maybe this relic was also specially arranged by the demon cultivators.
"Alas!"
Seeing Fang Daoyou take action to take the lives of the other cultivators, Li Zhirui sighed, showed his body, and controlled him.
If Fellow Daoist Fang had not fallen into the devil's way, this would be an internal conflict among cultivators, and he would not have stepped forward to stop it, but the situation is different now. It is the devil cultivators who want to kill the cultivators, so he stepped in to stop them.
"Why bother? The magical skill you have high hopes for is just a skill made up by the devil cultivators. The speed of cultivation is extremely fast in the early stage, but it won't take long for you to turn into a monster." (End of this chapter)
