Chapter 34 War (Please Read Later)
After paying the tax, Wu Tao's good mood about his monthly income of more than 900 low-grade spiritual stones disappeared by more than half.
It is really hard to be a casual cultivator. There are no cultivation resources and no territory. You can only rely on Wuquan Mountain to survive and work hard for a big immortal sect like Wuquan Mountain.
Only places with spiritual energy are suitable for immortal cultivators to survive.
If there is no spiritual vein, that is, in an ordinary place, the spiritual energy is extremely thin and cultivation is extremely difficult. Once you experience the cultivation of immortality, you will no longer want to return to an ordinary place.
Moreover, there are few traces of immortality in ordinary places, and very few people are destined to have immortality. Most of the Xiuxian City are scattered aboriginal cultivators, generation after generation.
Only a few are found from the ordinary world in the hope of immortality.
"Hey, regardless of the past life or this life, without the means of production, I will be exploited and oppressed by others. Even if I embark on the path of cultivating the Four Arts of Immortality, I am just a high-level migrant worker!" Wu Tao sighed in his heart.
If a casual cultivator wants to break this situation and overthrow the other party, it is impossible. The other party has resources and exploits you, etc., and you will only feel more and more desperate.
In this world of cultivating immortals where strength is paramount and the power of heaven and earth is united, why do you make a comeback?
Only by becoming stronger and becoming qualified to join the other party's camp is the only way to change one's own destiny.
"I'm lucky. I have a game system, which can definitely change my destiny." Wu Tao got excited. After getting excited, he couldn't help but think of what happened in Yuexian Tower just now.
"I rejected the other party. Judging from Fang Ming's attitude, he must be annoyed. However, they are not members of the devil's path and do not dare to mess around. Everything must be done in accordance with the rules set by Wuquan Mountain..."
"That being said, I still have to be careful."
"If it really comes to that point..." Wu Tao's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.
He doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either.
However, he still needed to be fully prepared. He originally saved spiritual stones to buy a storage bag, but he did not plan to save them. He would first increase the number of medicinal baths and improve his strength.
Thinking of this, he went to the drug store to buy the medicinal materials needed for the medicinal bath.
…
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I have said it several times. I appreciate the kindness of your association, but I really don't want to join any association now."
Wu Tao looked at Wu Zhongxing opposite, feeling helpless.
Over the past month, whenever he went out, he would meet Wu Zhongxing by chance, and Wu Zhongxing would persuade him to join the Weapon Refiner Association.
Even if you don't threaten or force, just invite in a friendly manner. You can't get angry with this approach.
As a result, Wu Tao basically couldn't come out for a month, so he stayed at home to practice Sanyang Kung Fu to temper his body. Today was the day to set up a stall, so he had to come out. As expected, Wu Zhongxing got entangled like a dog's skin plaster.
Wu Zhongxing cupped his hands and said with a tireless smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Li, it is still too difficult for us casual cultivators to rely on our individual abilities. Joining the association will be of no harm to Friend Li.
What you said is effective for any casual cultivator, but it has no effect on me... Wu Tao stopped paying attention to him and concentrated on dealing with the casual cultivators who came forward to buy robes.
Wu Zhongxing was not discouraged and actually helped Wu Tao greet the guests.
Seeing this, Wu Tao hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist Wu, I don't have the spirit stone to hire you, so your work will be in vain."
Wu Zhongxing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, this is of my own free will and I don't need your wages."
"what ever!"
After the market closed and all the robes were sold, Wu Tao quickly closed the stall. If there was anything else he wanted to say in Wu Zhongxing, he quickly said goodbye and ran away.
Wu Zhongxing looked at Wu Tao's retreating figure and murmured: "Fellow Daoist Li, I'm sorry!"
At this time, a voice appeared in Wu Zhongxing's ear and said jokingly: "Xiao Wu, I have already said that Li Mo is a tough guy. You can't persuade him. Leave it to me."
Wu Zhongxing's expression changed and he said: "Vice President Fang, President Xie said that if Fellow Daoist Li has not joined other associations, he cannot be touched. Besides, I can definitely convince Fellow Daoist Li."
Fang Ming snorted coldly, turned and left.
Wu Zhongxing clenched his fists tightly, his face full of regret.
Wu Tao got rid of Wu Zhongxing and went directly to pay the tax. This month, he refined several more soul-absorbing robes. After paying the tax, he could still earn more than 1,100 low-grade spiritual stones per month.
After that, he came to Shopkeeper Yu’s weapon-refining materials shop.
Shopkeeper Yu invited him to have a cup of tea.
This is the first time that I don’t know what medicine Shopkeeper Yu is selling in his gourd.
In the teahouse, the environment is quiet, and there are green trees outside the window. It is not easy to open a shop in Fangshi. After Wu Tao waited for shopkeeper Yu to pour a cup of tea, he took a sip and praised: "Good tea, green in the spring rain."
Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile: "I didn't expect Master Li to know tea well."
Hey, what do I know? The only time I drank was this spring rain green... Wu Tao complained in his heart, but asked: "I wonder what shopkeeper Yu asked Li to come here to talk about?"
Shopkeeper Yu looked a little happy, leaned forward a little, and whispered: "Wuquan Mountain, Ghost Dao Sect, there may be a battle."
"Wuquan Mountain and Ghost Dao Sect are going to fight?" Upon hearing the news, Wu Tao's expression changed slightly, "Shopkeeper Yu, are you kidding me?"
Shopkeeper Yu said seriously: "Master Li, can I still deceive you? I went to buy spiritual materials yesterday, but many types of spiritual materials were not available, and they were all necessary spiritual materials during war. I made some insinuations, So I heard the news from the other party."
"Maybe in a few days, Master Li will be able to see some signs from this western outer city."
He told Wu Tao this important news to show his goodwill to him. By showing goodwill step by step, the previous matter of the dirty crystal can slowly fade away. This is the calculation of his shopkeeper Yu.
Seeing the serious look of shopkeeper Yu, Wu Tao's heart slowly sank.
With the war between Wuquan Mountain and Guidao Sect, the life of their scattered cultivators will be even more difficult. Not only are prices soaring, but if Wuquan Mountain is defeated, once the Guidao Sect comes, with the inhumane means of the magic way, the scattered cultivators will definitely become the materials for their refining of magic tools.
Under the tide, there will be no eggs left intact!
Wu Tao felt extremely depressed at the feeling that he could not control his own life.
Seeing Wu Tao in deep thought, Shopkeeper Yu reminded him, "Master Li, once the war comes, Master Li needs to make more preparations. If there is anything you need help with, I will do my best to help."
Wu Tao came back to his senses and solemnly clasped his fists to express his deep gratitude to Shopkeeper Yu: "Shopkeeper Yu, your news is too important to me. I will remember this favor in my heart. As for other help, it's nothing."
Shopkeeper Yu was very satisfied with Wu Tao's attitude and laughed, "You are too kind, Master Li, I won't say much nonsense. In fact, this is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune. While prices have not risen, we can stock up some good things to save our lives, and when the war starts, we can sell them at a high price..."
Wu Tao nodded and agreed, "Shopkeeper Yu is right..."
When the war starts, the casual cultivators will have no sense of security, and they will want to transform all the spirit stones in their hands into life-saving items.
The small spiritual light shield robe and the spirit-absorbing robe are life-saving items.
Wu Tao decided to use this opportunity to make a fortune, otherwise he would feel guilty for sharing this news with Yu.
No wonder Yu was so happy about the battle between Wuquan Mountain Ghost Sect. When the war came, a businessman like him who had a good eye but no conscience deserved to make a fortune.
The only ones who got hurt were the low-level casual cultivators.
