Chapter 219 Losing One Person and Serving the World
The Shennong Cauldron transforms life forms into food, and the two do not need to be conserved.
Theoretically, it can turn a piece of grass into a Nine-turn Golden Elixir.
Of course, the cost of doing this is very high, and the loss of resources due to the poverty effect will be even greater, which cannot be compensated by a Nine-turn Golden Pill.
Because it is a continuous loss, if the time is very long and society continues to create wealth, it is equivalent to a continuous loss of wealth.
For example, if you transform into the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir, you will be poor for ten years.
So in the past ten years, every time the entire human race earns the value of a Nine-turn Golden Pill, it will lose the same amount.
It is equivalent to the productivity of the entire race being directly affected by a state of production reduction that lasts for ten years.
And what if, the transformed life is also very precious, for example, it is not grass, but Shen Mo Lian.
The intensity of poverty is not the "nine-turn golden elixir" of reducing production, but a hundred times or a thousand times the amount.
Unless the entire society shuts down, remains poor, and gets through this period.
Otherwise, the more you resist, the more intense this effect will be, forcibly reducing the wealth of the entire race, including but not limited to disasters, famines, wars, plagues, disappearances out of thin air, etc.
Disasters, famines, wars, and plagues are all controlled by destiny.
At first glance, it seems that the Shennong Cauldron will seriously affect the operation of heaven, but this is not the case.
Shennong Ding will not care about who rises and who declines. Ding only cares about the decline in the total amount of racial wealth. Within this total amount, how to allocate resources and who has more and who has less is still decided by heaven.
Therefore, the poverty effect of Shennong Ding will not hinder the general trend, but is still a tool of heaven.
Tiandao can, in turn, use the higher absoluteness of the Shennong Cauldron to promote its own general trend.
This is the reason why all the countries in the Western Regions perished, but the Central Plains only experienced wars and no place turned into desert.
In short, the wealth that is countless times the harvest must be small.
Therefore, using the Shennong Cauldron is objectively... a loss of blood.
The gains and costs are extremely unequal.
However, for individuals, it is profitable. Because the whole family bears the burden of poverty, some people can still live a life that is not much worse than before.
If it is used by people without conscience, in theory, they can only benefit themselves regardless of the life and death of most people.
"The cruelty of this thing can be said to harm the world by serving one person, and benefiting a single man but crippling ten thousand people." Miao Han said.
Yan Nu nodded, this was really disgusting.
One person gets the benefit, and everyone bears the cost. Absolute characteristics are completely unreasonable.
Luo Yan sighed: "But this is just human nature. The vast majority of people cannot resist this temptation."
"Even if you look at it from a macro perspective, it's ten thousand dollars for one penny, but I didn't pay the ten thousand dollars, so why don't I want the penny?"
"But if it goes on for a long time, the wealth of the entire race will continue to decline. In the end, it will still be destructive, and that 'one person' will not be able to escape after all."
"So in ancient times, after the first Emperor Yan discovered the value of this thing, he decisively wanted to destroy it. If he couldn't destroy it, he hid it."
"Because he knew very well that no matter how strict the restraint was, it would be useless. Very few people could withstand this kind of temptation and would definitely search desperately for it, so he didn't tell anyone where it was buried."
"It's a pity that people from the Lushan Immortal Sect dug it out accidentally. There must be help from heaven behind this."
Wu Xuzi asked curiously: "How did the Lushan Immortal Sect resist this temptation?"
"They just sealed it and used it this time to deal with the so-called Xing Tian."
"It's not like I'm using it crazily just to take advantage of it. To put it this way, it's quite conscientious."
Xun Xinkuang listened to the side and smiled coldly: "I have a conscience, but not much..."
"Why do you think they sealed it? When the Lushan Immortal Sect discovered the function of this cauldron, they were overjoyed and used it liberally."
"But this led to serious consequences. The countries in the Western Region perished, the oases turned into deserts, the Northland suffered from countless hunger and cold, and hundreds of barbarians moved inward..."
Everyone nodded and said, "You have already said this."
Xun Xinkuang added: "What's more! This is just a secular manifestation. The so-called alienation will not change the racial determination."
"Don't forget, the fate of the 'human immortal realm' depends on the race. If the human race is not destroyed, the human immortals will not die."
"Even immortals are like this. Immortal cultivators will of course also be affected. The resources and wealth produced in the world of immortality will also suffer huge losses."
"And the wealth in the world of immortality is mainly concentrated in... the Immortal Sect."
Hearing this, Wu Xuzi and others laughed.
So that's it, that's right. More than half of the wealth in the cultivation world is in the hands of the Immortal Sect, and most of the rest is in the various sects.
The group of casual cultivators and the group of Qing hermits are almost going crazy with poverty.
Therefore, when the poverty effect hits, the main loser is the Immortal Sect. At best, the difference is that the Immortal Sect will not die of poverty, but the poor ghost will die of poverty...
Precisely because the Immortal Sect controls a large amount of wealth in the spiritual world, it must have a conscience and not dare to abuse the Shennong Cauldron.
A little calculation will tell you that using the Shennong Cauldron to create a nine-turn golden elixir is certainly a pleasure to an individual.
But for the Immortal Sect, it would be equivalent to losing wealth and resources comparable to hundreds of Nine Transformations Golden Pills.
No matter how you calculate this, it's not a good deal.
With a huge amount of capital, he could have collected valuable items such as the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir, so why use the Shennong Cauldron?
The Immortal Sect is not a fool. Of course, it must be sealed strictly and no one is allowed to abuse it.
On the contrary, I am very afraid that this cauldron will be controlled by a poor ghost, because how can a poor ghost care about your immortal sect? That is the true way of benefiting only one man and crippling all surnames.
"This is the reason why the Lushan Immortal Sect, after discovering the price, decisively did not dare to use it."
"But even so, they just sealed it, sent people to guard it, and restricted it with rules."
"Essentially, it's still about 'wanting to use'. If they see something so precious that no amount of wealth can be created, they should still use it..."
"I'm ashamed to say that after Yu Qinghong joined us, we had the opportunity to take away the Shennong Ding and throw it into a place where no one can get it."
"But in the end... we didn't do it because we still had the thought in our hearts that we might need it in the future."
"In comparison, the choice of the first Emperor Yan is truly admirable. He was decisive and resolute. He knew that no rules could restrain human nature, so he buried it directly without telling anyone, ensuring that no one would use it for thousands of years. .”
Luo Yan said with some shame, which made people sigh.
The characteristics of the Shennong Cauldron are really well understood in human nature. If you still use it even though you know it is a loss, if it falls into the hands of the vast majority of people, it may lead to the annihilation of the race...
However, today, it has waited for a user who is extremely suitable for it.
A person who has formed his own clan and is not afraid of losing money...
The potential of Yan Nu can be called infinite fire virtue, it is the ability to burn itself and illuminate all directions.
Being able to "destroy one person and serve the world, cripple a single man and benefit all people" is exactly the opposite of what other users of Shennong's tripod do!
Yan Nu's source of income is not from the outside world, but from himself.
He collects external resources and increases not his own wealth but productivity...
"The severity of poverty depends on the object being transformed... In other words, it is the most cost-effective to use ordinary grass to create objects!" Miao Han said.
Strictly speaking, the Shennong Cauldron has two functions, one is to 'kill people' and the other is to 'create things'.
For Yan Nu, creation is the most suitable.
As for killing people, it's basically unnecessary. The Shennong Cauldron is indestructible anyway, so it's better to hit someone with it...
If an enemy can be stuffed into the cauldron by Yan Slave, then Yan Slave can basically defeat the opponent... without relying on the transformation function.
So if we only count creations, just pick up a piece of grass and the intensity of poverty is still low.
Luo Yan hurriedly corrected: "Well, it is true that materials determine intensity and output determines time, but poverty intensity is the lowest, which is at least equivalent to output."
"Refining all things with grass only guarantees the creation of something worth one hundred, and the intensity of poverty must also be one hundred."
Miaohan touched his chin: "So that's it. It's a sure-fire trait."
"But this still cannot be done to Yan Slave."
"As long as Yan Slave's Dao Zang space is large enough to accommodate it, the productivity will increase exponentially!"
"Two are born from two, four are born from two, eight are born from four..."
Everyone was shocked, that was indeed the case.
Assume that the energy of Yan Slave is 10,000, then transfer 10,000 out, refresh and then take it back, the next refresh will be 20,000...
Although the symbiotic organisms are not refreshed but regenerated like flesh and blood, it is still the same.
Back in the Lushan Dao Palace, Yan Nu turned one Dao Xing Dan into two, and two into four. In the end, everyone was rained down with elixirs.
Assume that the value of Yannu Daozang is 10,000, and he loses 1,000 by making the Nine-turn Golden Pill, and he still has 9,000.
The 1,000 yuan lost by Shennong Cauldron is productivity, but it doesn’t matter, the 10,000 yuan lost by Yan Nu is also productivity!
The former was reduced out of thin air, and the Yan slave was also produced out of thin air.
As long as Yan Slave doesn't mess around and doesn't abuse the Shennong Cauldron crazily and lose too much, it won't cause any harm at all!
"You transformed Shen Mo Lian into a 'statue of Shen Mo Lian'. This operation is very disadvantageous."
"So that your Daozang space is almost empty, but essentially, it is also because there is nothing too precious in your Daozang."
"They are all resources obtained from the storage at the outer gate of Lushan Dao Palace, plus some low-quality energy."
"These are just precious in the eyes of ordinary monks, and they are very large. So a wave of 'hundred times Shen Mo Lian' production reduction will almost wipe you out."
"But it doesn't matter. Those pills, magic weapons, materials, and energy are not unique things."
"Today, one hundred thousand people were wiped out in one battle. I don't know how many cultivation resources were spilled on the earth. Many of them are cave resources and are not available in the outside world."
"Hurry up and put these into Daozang to increase your productivity..."
Miao Han said hurriedly. She calculated that Yan Nu had just transformed Shen Mo Lian and the losses were quite serious.
But it's nothing serious, just some ordinary magic energy, resources collected from Lushan Taoist Palace, and things picked up by killing a few monks on the road.
I thought it was a huge fortune before, but now I see it is just that.
After all, tens of thousands of people lay dead in a battle on a remote mountain.
Only Yuan Fu and several hundred other monks could turn around and save their lives.
There were more than 80,000 left, who were either killed by Yannu or died at the hands of Shanhai people.
All kinds of resources have exploded all over the place. The types are much richer than those plundered from Lushan, and the quantities are also extremely large.
Some monks store magic weapons instead of the universe inside their bodies, so there is no big explosion after death.
Although their corpses were refined by Shen Mo Lian using the Shennong Cauldron, the stored magic weapons were still there, all in the Hutian world.
"Yan Slave, just take over this Pot Heaven World!" Luo Yan took out a particle from the cauldron.
This particle is called Chaos Sand, and it is also a top-quality material, a substance collected from chaos.
It is said that it is essentially a gas, but under pressure millions of times that of Shenzhou, it forms into a metal.
If placed in a normal environment, it will explode.
Only through powerful refining and processing can it maintain this state in any environment. It has a wide range of uses and is a resource commonly used by immortals.
Luo Yan waved his hand and knocked the object into Yan Nu's palm. After a while, Yan Nu sensed the Hutian world.
That thing is much larger than the Taoist space created by Miaohan, with an area of 200,000 acres alone.
Inside, there was a mist, which was the Sky Mark Array... This thing was still running silently.
There is a large amount of formation Qi in Yan Nu's body, all of which were absorbed by previous formations attacking it.
In addition, because this formation is now symbiotic, Yan Slave can control it.
With just a thought, you can check the situation within the formation.
People... there are no people left, all living things have disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of non-living resources, the bodies of millions of yellow scarf warriors, and stored magic weapons all over the ground!
Yan Nu randomly picked out a storage belt and took it out, and looked at it carefully. Good guy, there are hundreds of thousands of kilograms of various precious ores, tens of thousands of various precious plants, thousands of bottles of various elixirs, and several magic weapons of various colors.
This is just a storage magic weapon, and almost every monk has similar things...
At this moment, there are at least 50,000 sets everywhere in Hutian World...
Yan Nu picked up two more Tianzun Tokens. They were immortal weapons. Although they were dimmed by him, they were still extremely tough.
He casually threw it into Daozang, feeling a little regretful that there was no more immortal power. Shen Mo Lian and the head of Lushan had used up all their immortal power before they died.
However, these two Heavenly Lord Tokens also have storage functions!
Upon checking, Yan Nu was shocked.
There are a million acres of space, with a towering mountain standing tall, large rivers flowing, and countless lakes and vegetation.
A group of palaces are entrenched on the mountain, with flying cranes, blue luan's singing, and many rare and exotic animals living among them.
Take a closer look at the mountain. It is not an ordinary mountain. Every stone is made of spiritual stone and ice jade. The water is not ordinary water. It is maintained by the formation. It is the condensation of vitality. There are also black and white spiritual fish swimming around. It helps to understand the law of two rites.
The lakes are even more extraordinary. The five great lakes present five colors, each composed of five elements of liquid spiritual matter, which can supplement the power of the corresponding laws.
Each lake has a radius of ten acres, but looking at the traces on the lake shore, it can be seen that it was originally larger. It should be that when Shen Mo Lian resisted Yan Nu, he absorbed a lot of power to supplement the law to save his life.
Not to mention the spiritual roots of plants and trees, Danmu, Jingqi, White Willow, Wenyu tree, Langgan tree, Changshengganmu... they are all rich in fruits and in various shapes.
They are either precious alchemy materials or weapon refining materials, or they possess outstanding magical powers. For example, the Langgan tree has a majestic body, and the jade tree has beautiful branches, and the fruits on the branches are pearls and jade.
Changshengganmu is a specialty of Qiongshan. It bears fruit once every hundred years, and one fruit lasts for a hundred years.
There are many of these, and most of them are helpful in refining elixirs that supplement the power of the law, or elixirs that automatically enhance the perception of the law.
The huge palace on the mountain is even more gorgeous.
There are seventy-two small halls in total. There may be treasure lamps or furnaces in the halls, all of which are fine magic weapons.
There are also thirty-six palaces and gardens. There are either spiritual swords or cold knives in the palaces, all of which are superior magic weapons.
In the open space in the center of the garden, there are eight monuments standing. They are written with Bagua runes and countless Dao patterns. They are eight town sect-level magic weapons. They also record the Bagua secret techniques that Shen Mo Lian either created or collected.
And this entire palace complex is itself refined from countless laws and treasures, full of mysteries. It is a set of palace-type peerless magic weapons, named 'Moxuan Palace'.
Mo Xuan Palace has nothing to do with the Mo family. It's because Shen Mo Lian's name has the character "mo" in it, so he chose it this way...
A peerless magic weapon of this size is rare, and is much more powerful than some small peerless magic weapons.
After all, at Shen Mo Lian's level, if you can't refine an immortal weapon, you can only make the peerless magic weapon bigger and more complex, the better...
"Huh... this is too rich..." Yan Nu had seen the wealth of Lushan Dao Palace and felt that the thief was rich.
Now that I see Shen Molian's legacy, I realize that it is a small thing that makes a big difference.
Let’s not talk about the quantity, but the quality alone is not on the same level. This is the real giant in the spiritual practice world.
As soon as Yan Nu mentioned this situation, everyone was in an uproar.
Wu Xuzi hiccupped, his whole face turned red and he felt dizzy.
He is a casual cultivator. Although he has always known that the Dongtian monks are rich, the renewal period is the highest state under the immortals, so he is naturally richer.
But I didn't expect to be so rich.
He worked hard overseas, searched everywhere, and mined for a lifetime, but he probably couldn't accumulate the value of any palace in Shen Mo Lian's cave.
Only then did everyone know how powerful the update period was and how terrifying its background was.
"Shen Mo Lian has so many treasures...but he doesn't use them all..." Wu Xuzi murmured and looked at Yan Nu.
If it were a normal fight, they would not be Shen Mo Lian's opponents. Mo Xuan Palace and even countless treasures were his biggest trump cards.
It's a pity that when you encounter Yan Nu, you can only help him.
So what if you have a deep foundation? Yan Slave is immune to all the power of laws. No matter how much Shen Mo Lian can supplement, he can only protect himself and fight a war of attrition with Yan Slave.
And fighting a war of attrition with Yan Nu? Even if his head wasn’t covered with iron!
Coupled with the artistic conception of seizing souls, the magic weapon will also be weakened, so Shen Mo Lian's Mo Xuan Palace finally didn't even bother to take it out.
Moreover, Shen Mo Lian knew that Yan Slave's characteristics would adapt to him, so even Tianzun Ling did not dare to attack, but only dared to defend.
Looking back, Shen Mo Lian said all these were useless. He was actually under Yan Nu's hands and persisted for a long time. Even Yan Nu's full blow, the Suzaku towering into the sky, and the Great Desolate Star Fall didn't kill him, and he still had half a breath left.
It can be seen that the Three Tribulations Update Period is really very powerful.
Everyone stepped into Shen Mo Lian's perspective and felt that this death was too embarrassing.
Under normal circumstances, this should be an invincible figure.
In the end, he didn't even dare to break through to become an immortal before the battle, and he never tasted the feeling of becoming an immortal until his death.
"There are too many. We can't use up all these resources. I don't know how many monks we can train..."
Miaohan said solemnly: "After all...it was a bloodbath in a cave. The Lushan Immortal Sect, plus hundreds of sects, lost most of their elites here. Even the Three Tribulations Great Master and the head of Lushan fell."
"Their wealth, to us, is of course astonishing."
Wu Xuzi said excitedly: "I'm afraid this is only part of it! In addition to what they spent, there should be treasures in their respective mountain gates! We haven't even gone to their caves and Yunding Heavenly Palace yet."
Everyone took a deep breath, the cave was vast, and various sects had searched and kept it captive for three hundred years, and the wealth was incalculable.
Now Yan Nu has launched a wave of killings, and more than 80,000 elite monks have taken over the killing calamity!
The various sects are empty now, but Yan Nu has become powerful! Can sweep all the way!
"Yan Slave, the citizens of Shanhai are scattered in the captive territories of various sects. We should rescue them as soon as possible... As for these wealth, all of them can be turned into your productivity."
"Plundering by others is benefiting yourself at the expense of others. Yan Slave... you plunder these monks to gain the 'three lives and all things'!"
"The method is very simple. Before you use the Shennong Cauldron to create something, just back up all the symbiotic organisms in the Daozang space!"
"You can back it up as many times as you like. Your symbiosis is inconvenient for outsiders to use, but it can be used to offset the cost of the Shennong Cauldron, but it is just right!"
Miaohan said and immediately figured out how to operate.
Yan Nu nodded, completely understanding.
Take Mo Xuan Palace as an example. Yan Nu can move it out, then regenerate it and put it back into the Daozang space, so that he has two sets...
Then use the root grass at will to make a set with the Shennong Cauldron, corresponding to the disappearance of the Yannu Daozang Mo Xuan Palace, and the production will be reduced for a long time.
But it doesn't matter, there is another set in Yannu Daozang, and Shennong Ding also made a 'pure version' in his hand.
It's like Yan Slave used the symbiotic organisms as collateral to cash out from Shennong Cauldron... and also washed away the symbiotic resistance.
You can do this with elixirs and energy. The pure version can be used by everyone. He doesn't need to take care of it. It has to do with resistance or something.
Luo Yan and Miaohan can hold it and use it whenever they want, and they can also give it away... It's much more convenient than symbionts.
From then on, all wealth and resources can be exchanged for Shennong's tripod creations at the cost of Daozang's quota. Coupled with absolute digestion, there is nothing that Yannu cannot eat, that is, everything is food...and can be created.
Yan slave is equivalent to sacrificing oneself and serving the world. This is the virtue of infinite fire!
However, Yan Nu raised a question: "Huh? Why are there resources like plant and tree spiritual roots? Shouldn't they all be refined by the Shennong Cauldron?"
Luo Yan explained: "The storage space cannot accommodate other storage spaces. The Shennong Cauldron can refine things in the expanded Hutian Realm, so the spiritual roots of the plants and trees that exploded are gone."
"But the storage magic weapon itself is a dead thing."
"You can't understand it as a space within a space. In the Hutian world, there are only stored magic weapons, and the magic weapons connect the spaces."
"Essentially, those spaces are elsewhere...not here. This is just a 'door'. If it is not unfolded, it will not be considered as entering the Shennong Cauldron."
When Yan Nu thought about it, it was true. This was why he put things into the Daozang space. They couldn't coexist and had to use the power of time and space to connect them.
Because space is not actually inside his body.
"However, the Shennong Cauldron has also transformed many spiritual roots of plants and trees. There are many monks who have the world inside their bodies, which exploded all over the ground after they died, and now they are gone..."
"That is to say..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked solemn.
"That is to say, the wave of Shen Mo Lian's creation of the Nine-turn Golden Pill... came at an extremely high cost!"
…
p.s: Sorry.
