Chapter 64: The Meaning of Battle
Without money, it's hard to move an inch!
After entering Donglin City, Lin Xun deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
Clothing, food, housing, and transportation all require money, and as a cultivator, the cost is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It's like eating, ordinary people just need to have something to eat, but cultivators are different, in order to maintain the purity of the body, they must use the spirit valley, spirit vegetables, and the flesh and blood of fierce beasts as ingredients, and the price of spirit valley spirit vegetables can be expensive and scary.
Even some cultivators with strong family backgrounds, in order to sharpen and refine their cultivation all the time, devour elixirs and elixirs to supplement the needs of their bodies, and the value of such treasures is not at all something that ordinary cultivators can afford.
In addition, the clothes worn by the cultivators, the mounts they ride, the combat equipment they use, and the cultivation techniques they need require a lot of money in every aspect.
Why is there a saying in this world that "the poor are rich and the martial" is circulated?
That is to say, only the children of rich families with strong family backgrounds can not worry about money and can concentrate on cultivating martial arts.
And the poor, even if they have the qualifications to practice, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and because of the lack of support from various cultivation resources, they are destined to not go far on the road of cultivation in the future.
Why did the "government examination" held by the empire every year attract so many cultivators to participate in it? Even many cultivators from poor backgrounds even regarded participating in the "government examination" as an opportunity to leap into the dragon gate?
It is because as long as they pass the government examination, these cultivators from poor backgrounds can be favored by many chambers of commerce, clans, families and other forces, take them under their command, and provide them with the support of cultivation resources.
It's all about cultivation, but it's impossible to practice without financial support.
In the seven days that he entered Donglin City, Lin Xun often went out, not for anything else, but to familiarize himself with and integrate into the imperial city as soon as possible.
It was the seven-day experience that made Lin Xun deeply aware of the importance of money.
Donglin City is different from the Qingyang tribe, when it comes to prosperity, the Qingyang tribe can't be compared with it at all, the city has unimaginable cultivation resources, but in the same way, it is extremely difficult to obtain these cultivation resources.
Especially for Lin Xun, this is the first time he has stepped into the city in his life, and it is even more difficult for him to settle in this densely populated place, where the strong are like forests and the forces are intricate.
Make hay!
It's a priority!
This is Lin Xun's current thoughts, only by earning enough money can he and Xia Zhi move a new living environment, get more cultivation resources, and better survive in the Ziyao Empire.
......
In front of the desk, Lin Xun suddenly sighed softly.
Xia Zhi looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xun closed the book in his hand and shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
The book is called "Imperial Mountains and Rivers", which he just bought from Li Ji Bookstore tonight, and it is a book about the mountains and rivers of the Ziyao Empire, as well as the geography and latitude.
Originally, Lin Xun planned to find out where the mine prison where he originally lived was located, but in the end, he could only find the location of the "Three Thousand Mountains", and further south was the "turbulent wasteland" where the Dark Court, the sworn enemy of the Ziyao Empire, was entrenched.
Lin Xunwu remembered that he was pushed into an unfathomable mine path like an abyss by Mr. Lu, and then he lost consciousness, and when he came to his senses again, he had appeared in the Three Thousand Mountains.
This made him suspect that the mine prison where he lived at the beginning was probably located somewhere in the Three Thousand Mountains.
It's a pity that these 3,000 mountains are too big, and the mountains are vast, as if they are boundless, and there is no specific description in the "Imperial Mountains and Rivers Chronicles".
However, this book is not bad, so that Lin Xun finally understood that the continent under his feet was called "Cangtu Continent", which could be called vast and endless.
And the Ziyao Empire is just one of the few countries that are already known on the "Cangtu Continent".
"Are you still thinking about moving?" Xia Zhi asked with a sudden frown.
"Hmm. ”
Lin Xun hummed casually, and opened another book called "The Codex of the Foundation of Cultivation", as the name suggests, it is about the knowledge of cultivation, although the content is simple, but the organization is very rigorous.
The book is divided into five parts according to the five realms of "Zhenwu", "Linggang", "Linghai", "Dongtian" and "Yanlun".
For example, the Ninefold Realm of the True Martial Realm, from the "Qi Induction" of the first layer to the "Spiritual Transformation" of the last layer, has been elaborated.
However, these are theoretical knowledge, not real cultivation experiences, which can only allow readers to understand what this realm is like, what kind of changes can be had when they reach this realm, and what are the specific signs of promotion.
Although the content is very simple, Lin Xun can read it with relish, he knows how to practice, but what he lacks is the mastery of cultivation theory.
"I don't have to move, I love it. Xia Zhi also picked up a book called "The Official History of the Empire" and flipped through it.
Lin Xun raised his head, glanced at Xia Zhi in surprise, and said, "Do you like it here?"
Xia Zhi didn't raise his head, and said: "You can fight here at any time, it's rare, if you move out, there will be no object to fight, it's too boring." ”
Speaking of this, she also raised her head, looked at Lin Xun seriously, and said, "Do you know what my biggest feeling was during those days in Scarlet Cloud Village?"
Lin Xun smiled bitterly and roughly guessed what Xia Zhi was going to say.
Sure enough, Xia Zhi said the next moment: "It's boring, I have analyzed my strength and determined a fact, if I don't fight, my strength will gradually weaken." ”
Lin Xun was slightly startled, and stared: "In other words, only by constantly fighting will your strength not weaken?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "Not only that, only fighting can make me stronger, I don't need to cultivate, I don't need exercises, all I need is fighting." ”
Lin Xun was stunned, he suddenly realized a problem, he always subconsciously regarded Xia Zhi as a five or six-year-old girl, and had been trying his best to protect her, although he had already known that Xia Solstice was different from other children, but he had never seriously thought about what Xia Solstice needed!
At a young age, she could easily kill the "Wu Hatshui" who had the cultivation of the True Martial Eightfold Realm, and she could live in the deep mountains and old forests full of fierce beasts, and even her own combat power was far inferior to her.
So, what exactly does she need?
Lin Xun didn't think about it before, he only knew that Xia Zhi likes to eat, like to sleep, and live a simple and carefree life, but after listening to Xia Zhi's words at this time, Lin Xun completely understands that Xia Zhi has her own path of cultivation, her own ideas, and the life she requires!
Lin Xun pondered for a long time and said, "I understand." Scratching his head, he said, "It's just that fighting means fighting, do you know what that means?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "I only kill enemies." ”
Lin Xun smiled bitterly: "But we don't have many enemies. ”
Xia Zhi asked rhetorically, "Really?"
Lin Xun thought about it and was silent for a while, did he really have no enemies?
Of course!
The enemy who dug up his original spiritual vein, and the big hand that destroyed the mine prison and made Mr. Lu know his life and death, can all be regarded as enemies.
It's just that for the current Lin Xun, it seems too far away to solve these hatreds.
"Your enemy seems to be a witch wrestler. Lin Xun suddenly remembered that when she first saw the summer solstice, she was being chased and killed by a Spirit Sea Realm witch brute force.
"I remember him, and when he became stronger, he would personally kill him. Xia Zhi's expression was calm, and her voice was calm, as if this matter had already been destined for her.
"Fighting...... "...... battle" Lin Xun hesitated for a while, what Xia Solstice needed was to fight, but he couldn't help Xia Solstice at the moment.
"You don't have to worry, I love fighting, but that doesn't mean I can't survive without fighting. Xia Zhi said seriously.
Lin Xunchang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." ”
Xia Zhi no longer paid attention to him, but raised the "Official History of the Empire" in his hand, pointed to a paragraph on the last page above, and said: "I fight to be stronger, and this person is born to fight, this is the difference between me and him." ”
Lin Xun was curious, took it over and looked at it, only to see that paragraph read: "I was born with the luck of heaven and earth, living for conquest, and the honor of this life should be poured with the blood of the enemy!"
If you die, you should also take the battlefield as a grave, the white bones of the enemy as a coffin, your head resting on the mountain of corpses, and your body lying in a sea of blood, contrasting with the sky, and sleeping with the earth. In this way, there will be no regrets!"
- The Iron-blooded King of the Ziyao Empire would rather not return.
A few words made Lin Xun's blood surge, and a sense of fighting spirit rose in his chest, and he couldn't help but admire: "The spirit of this iron-blooded king is so strong that he can compete with the sun and the moon and compete with the eternals!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Xia Zhi, who was sitting quietly on the side, and said thoughtfully: "You are indeed different. ”
A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Xia Zhi's lips, and the beauty of that moment made this house seem to have a dazzling taste.
Fortunately, the smile disappeared in a flash.
But even so, Lin Xun couldn't help but remind: "Summer solstice, don't show your face outside in the future." ”
He was only five or six years old, but this beauty was too much, and if it was seen, it would cause many unexpected disasters.
Xia Zhi raised his little face and hummed seriously.
Lin Xun smiled, said no more, turned around and sat at the desk, and took out a seal pen, a swallow wing knife, and a dish of finished spirit ink.
The seal pen is polished by the leg bone of the "iron beak pheasant", slender and straight, the whole body presents a faint dark purple, the pen body is calm and simple, the pen edge is like a blade, thin as a cicada wing, with a dazzling cold light, and is named "purple pheasant" by Lin Xun.
The swallow wing knife was bought by Lin Xun from a weapon shop in the city tonight, and the whole body was made of spiritual material "Yunxia Steel", because there was no seal carving spirit pattern, it could only be regarded as a mortal weapon.
That dish of spiritual ink is the "Red Fire Spiritual Ink", which is one of the widely circulated spiritual inks on the market, which can engrave more than ten kinds of basic spiritual patterns of fire attributes.
What Lin Xun has to do now is to engrave a "Flame Burst Spirit Pattern" on the swallow wing knife, so that it will transform from a mortal weapon into a spiritual weapon!
And doing so is one of the most effective ways to make money that Lin Xun has thought of at present!
