Text: Chapter 1: Ding B
In the Cuiwen Bookstore on Guanghui Street in Jiyun City, Sister Fuchen took the dust for the fifth time to pick up people. It's not good to pick people up openly, and by raising dust, from left to right, row by row, to disperse those guests who just read books and don't buy books. Thin-skinned customers may be embarrassed, but they may buy the book. If you're thick-skinned, it doesn't matter. The so-called shameless people are invincible in the world.
Ding Yi's skin is thick, but it's not thick. The old man only gave ten cents of pocket money for a month (the currency of the Shenwu Empire is divided into copper coins, silver dollars, gold coins and crystal dollars, all of which are synthetic currencies containing yuan crystal powder, and the corresponding conversion formula is one to one hundred. The cheapest "Young Forest Persuasion" costs fifteen wen!
Although he was driven away by Sister Fuchen, he occasionally felt a little hurt to his self-esteem, but in the face of the embarrassing real environment, Ding Yi still chose to ignore it cheekily.
In the past two years, seven or eight bookstores of all sizes in Jiyun City have been within the scope of Ding Yi's activities. Astronomy, Geography, Humanities, History, Economics, ...... Wander in a sea of books and absorb nutrients.
Ding Yi is a fourth-grade elementary school student at Yunbei Primary School, but he has actually taught himself to the level of at least the third grade of secondary school. But what's the use of this? The family can't afford to pay for the education of three children, and being able to let him finish primary school is the last support for him from the family.
"People must be self-aware, how much you can eat, how many burdens you can carry are destined by God. Don't have unrealistic ideas", says the old man. Is it really that I am too greedy, is it greed?
"If only I could cultivate the truth", Ding Yi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, but this is unrealistic. The qualification of a cultivator is generally believed to be formed in two ways: heredity and variation.
Needless to say, genetics, basically, children inherit their parents' bloodline genes, and there is a considerable chance of obtaining the so-called genes that can cultivate the truth. There are even so-called cultivation families that can inherit and continue their family's cultivation ability 100%. Then there is the mutation, among the many living beings, there are some people whose parents and even ancestors have not become cultivators, but they have the qualifications to cultivate the truth. They are genetically mutated. How mutation is formed, no one has yet made it clear and clear.
There are naturally congenital mutants, and there are also acquired mutants formed by special reasons. I was struck by lightning, I ate strange flowers and fruits, and my blood awakened before the great fear and catastrophe...... Zero and all kinds. But their experience of becoming cultivators cannot be replicated.
Even their descendants will inherit their bloodline.
Of course, there are other messages, there is a kind called the trail, which is said to be part of their religion or group, and after performing some form of ritual, you can gain some kind of cultivation ability. Many people believe in this statement, but in a lot of observation and practice, it is found that this is just a means used by some gods to collect money and have ulterior motives.
There is also a kind of called transmission of gong, which uses the so-called empowerment, pushing the back, and passing through the palace to exchange blood, and with the help of the cultivator, you can also obtain the ability to cultivate the truth.
As for what to take male and female Yuan Yang, Yuan Yin. Snatching, parasitic.
However, these mostly exist in film and television works.
It is said that overseas, there is a magic island. There are a number of people on it who are wanted by the government and who are said to have mastered some kind of bloodline gene separation technology. It can change the physical qualifications of ordinary people, and can greatly improve the possibility of cultivation. However, it is also said that the success rate is very low, the cost is high, and there are considerable side effects.
In addition, in the Yin and Yang Death Valley of the Northwest Whispering Forest, it is said that there is a certain probability that after passing through the canyon, I don't know if the environment there can change the blood factor of the person, or some other reason, as long as you don't die, you will also become a cultivator. There are several examples in the history books that are well documented. It's all clear. However, in that place, it is said that even some powerful cultivators may not survive. Now that place has been taken over by the military and is a military control area. For research by national research institutions only.
Even so, the success rate is extremely low, and the probability of 1 in 100,000 is still enough to make people rush to it, but that place has become a forbidden area, controlled by the government, and the entire area of nearly a thousand miles is classified as a military control zone. It is said that there are several such places, and they are still waiting for later generations to discover and verify them.
These messages are all seen in books, and books have become the only means for Ding Yi to understand the world and even want to change his fate. Becoming a cultivator is actually the biggest dream of every commoner in the empire. It's no wonder that these ordinary people have such a dream.
In these years, either you accept your fate and are willing to be an ordinary person who is unwilling, if you are unwilling, then you can only waste in the endless years and sigh to yourself. It is said that don't let your child lose at the starting line, mortal PK cultivator? Don't be funny anymore, okay? You use running, people use flying.
Now the state is divided into two levels, the ruler and the ruled, that is, the cultivator and the general public. The management and technical top management are all cultivators. Although it is impossible for so many cultivators to engage in grassroots management, high-level officials must be cultivators! The most famous technicians and master craftsmen in the market must also be cultivators.
As long as you are a cultivator, there is no problem if you want to be an official, according to your strengths and abilities, the government will help you arrange for you, try to get you to a suitable position, and there is no problem if you don't want to be an official, not only do you have government allowances, you don't have to pay personal taxes, but you also enjoy considerable judicial immunity according to the law.
Like the Environmental Sanitation Department of the Health Bureau in Jiyun City, it is the cultivators who sweep the streets. If you use ordinary people, the streets and alleys of 100 square kilometers will be hundreds of people larger, and you will have to provide all kinds of cleaning tools and means of transportation. In fact, there are only five people in the Department of Sanitation .
The entire city was cleaned up in a simple way: after a light rain from the cultivators, and then a breeze from the ground that came from the cultivators' spells, the fallen leaves, dead branches and garbage were concentrated at the garbage disposal station in the south of the city, and almost before the garbage pile fell, the cultivators' samadhi fire burned it, and finally only a thin layer of floating ash was left on the ground......
The police and elimination department, which manages law and order, has only about a dozen people in the city. Powerful telekinesis, a body of fine steel bones, and a technique that can seek the source of the source, so that the criminal suspects who are traitors have nowhere to escape......
The strength of a cultivator is unmatched by mortals, no matter in that aspect.
The height and limit of mortals are not worth mentioning in the eyes of cultivators.
Jiyun City has a population of nearly one million, and there are about three or four hundred cultivators, which is a very high percentage. In many small cities in the south, there are only one or two cultivators in the entire city. The reason why so many cultivators gathered in Jiyun City was just because the Qingyun Sect, which was more than a hundred kilometers away from Jiyun City, was a major cultivator, and the internship place where many cultivators graduated was near Qingyun Mountain.
As the head of the five sects in Central and Southern China, the Qingyun faction has the seventh Lingyu Cave Heaven and the twenty-third Zhongxiu Cave Heaven of the seventy-two cave heavens, and is one of the three mainstays of the imperial conservatives. It is provided to the empire with a steady stream of various cultivators.
It is a holy place for all the people of the thirteen provinces in central and southern China. It is also the ideal in Ding Yi's heart.
However, it is not easy to transcend mortals and become a cultivator, and there are no great characters in the ancestors of the Ding family, let alone cultivators. Turning the ordinary into the ordinary is inherently insufficient.
