Chapter 1514 - 1514 Vibrating weapon (3)
The magic technology in the realm of arrays was very advanced. Ordinary people could know what was going on outside just by sitting at home. As long as you were willing to work, you would live a good life even if you didn’t cultivate.
However, it was different in the world of cultivators. Almost all the ordinary people here were controlled by the major sects. They couldn’t plant things randomly. If a family had 10 mu of land, only 5 mu was under their control. As for the other 5 mu, they would plant whatever their sect asked them to plant without any autonomy. Of course, their sects didn’t let them plant for free. They would be rewarded after they planted something. Furthermore, the rewards were usually not too low.
However, if they didn’t take care of the land that the sect asked them to farm, they would also be punished, and the punishment wouldn’t be light. Other than that, the commoners had to pray to their sects so that their sects could obtain some power of faith from them. If the sects found out that the commoners had offered too little power of faith, they would be punished. Compared to the machine array world, the commoners in the cultivation world were more like slaves in captivity. However, their lives were much better than slaves.
There was only one way for a commoner to stand out in the array world, and that was to cultivate. As long as you could cultivate, then congratulations, not just for yourself, but for your family as well. Their living environment would also be greatly improved. However, in the cultivation world, not just anyone could cultivate. In the cultivation world, one had to have spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots were like the talent that mages and Warriors talked about. If you didn’t have talent, you couldn’t learn magic. If you didn’t have talent, you wouldn’t have high achievements even if you forced yourself to learn martial arts. It was the same in the cultivation world. If you didn’t have spiritual roots, you couldn’t cultivate at all and could only be a civilian.
However, not everyone who could cultivate could enter the various sects. For example, small sects like the sea Mountain sect were very strict in accepting disciples. Those who did not have good cultivation talent and great development potential could not enter the sect. They were generally given some low-level cultivation techniques free of charge by the sect. They could be said to be inferior cultivation techniques. They would explore and cultivate on their own. Such people were called individual cultivators.
Therefore, all the Rogue cultivators wanted to join a sect, but there were only a few lucky ones. There was only one way for rogue cultivators to join a sect, and that was to successfully reach the Qi cultivation stage. Perhaps some small sects would accept you, but those rogue cultivators wanted to cultivate, so they needed medicinal pills and better cultivation methods. These things could only be bought in the city, and in order to buy these things, they needed crystal stones. In order to earn crystal stones, those rogue cultivators would go hunt demonic beasts or pick medicinal herbs. Or they would look for ores and the like, and then bring them to the market to trade for Jingshi. They would then use Jingshi to exchange for things they needed for cultivation.
