Immortal stones were the currency of the Wasteland, and also an essential cultivation resource for every Immortal of the Great Dao.
Ordinary cultivation, replenishing vitality, recovering immortal power, setting up formations, refining immortal weapons, and so on all required immortal stones.
Immortal stones were different from spirit stones and crystal stones. Spirit stones and crystal stones could be produced through spirit veins, while immortal stones were refined. It required a large amount of spirit stones and crystal stones in a cauldron to be refined.
This thing had always been the hard currency of the Wasteland.
Three hundred immortal stones was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either.
For example, the value of the Golden Rainbow Crystal in the Small Luo Secret Realm could be exchanged for more than ten thousand immortal stones. It sounded like a lot, but it had to be known that the Golden Rainbow Crystal in the entire Small Luo Secret Realm could only be produced a few times a year. Currently, the Small Luo Secret Realm had been around for more than a thousand years.
Normally, when immortals cultivated in seclusion, they could rely on spiritual energy to be self-sufficient.
However, if they went out to train, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth alone would not be enough. At this time, they would need immortal stones to maintain it.
Different cultivation realms would consume different immortal stones when they went out to train.
For example, a True Immortal, on average, one a day was enough.
High Immortal, two a day was enough to maintain their daily consumption.
If Qianniao was a Golden Immortal, she would need three or four a day to maintain her daily consumption. In other words, three hundred immortal stones could sustain her daily consumption for a hundred days.
However.
This was only the daily consumption of going out to train.
If he encountered an urgent situation while training outside, then the consumption would multiply. Consuming a few tens or even a hundred Immortal Stones in a single day wasn't impossible, and if he wanted to refine a little thing, then the amount of Immortal Stones he would have to spend would be uncountable.
A while ago, Qianniao had only refined a small thing, and it had already cost more than four thousand immortal stones. Moreover, it could only be considered a semi-finished product, and it could not even be considered an immortal weapon. According to Qianniao's estimate, if it was refined into an immortal weapon, it would not be possible without tens of thousands of immortal stones.
Therefore, in the Wasteland, it often took many years for immortals to refine immortal weapons and magic treasures. Some of them were because refining immortal weapons required repeated tempering and repeated trials. More importantly, refining an immortal weapon required too many immortal stones, and ordinary immortals could only slowly accumulate them.
"I say, little drunkard, you really don't know the cost of firewood and rice. Do you think it's easy to earn three hundred immortal stones? Let me tell you, that was something that this fairy exchanged for with her life outside. "
Seeing Gu Qingfeng scoff at the three hundred immortal stones, Qianniao felt that it was necessary to beat this ignorant fellow up and said, "Only this fairy has the ability to do this. Why don't you try someone else? Many immortals can't even afford three immortal stones, let alone three. "
"I say, Sister Qianniao …"
Just as Gu Qingfeng opened his mouth, Qianniao immediately corrected him, "Call me fairy! Fairy Fairy Qianniao! "
"Alright, Fairy Qianniao, I believe that many immortals in the Primordial Era would not be able to take out three immortal stones, but isn't it already ten thousand years ago? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is tens of thousands of times denser and purer than it was in ancient times. I'm afraid there are quite a few cultivation resources, right? If you just go out for a stroll, you should be able to get something, right? "
"What, what?"
Qianniao looked as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and also as if she had personally witnessed an ignorant brat talking loudly. She pointed at Gu Qingfeng and said helplessly: "Big brother! Do you think immortal stones are spirit stones? Just going out for a stroll would yield something? "How ignorant!"
Gu Qingfeng asked: "What is it? Could it be? "
"You really …" Qianniao explained, "It's true that the Ancient Era has opened for ten thousand years, and it's also true that the spiritual energy is tens of thousands of times denser and purer than the Primordial Era. It's also true that there are a lot of cultivation resources outside, but there's another problem that you haven't realized, right? That is, there are tens of millions or even billions of times more immortals in the Great Desolate World than in the Primordial Era. "
"It was not easy to become an immortal in the Primordial Era. They could easily cultivate for tens of thousands of years. Now, after ten thousand years, becoming an immortal is as common as eating rice. It's even easier than cultivating the Foundation Establishment. Not to mention the Great Desolate World, even the immortals in the secular world can be found in a handful."
"A monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. Don't you understand this principle? Moreover, many of the cultivation resources in the Greater Thousand World are monopolized by those overlords. You can't imagine how difficult it is for ordinary immortals to survive in the Great Desolate World. "
To be honest.
Gu Qingfeng did not have much of a concept about cultivation resources.
This was because he had cultivated for more than 500 years. Thinking about it carefully, he did not seem to lack any cultivation resources. In any case, he had never gone out to train, nor had he ever taken any risks. He had always been fighting and killing, and killing people to steal resources was much faster than training and taking risks.
Hearing Qianniao's words, he nodded and said, "That's true. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is denser and purer, there are more and more immortals. The pressure to survive naturally increases."
"Nonsense! Otherwise, do you think it's easy? "
Qianniao rolled his eyes and said, "When I was young, I didn't know anything. I always felt that the Patriarch and the others were too conservative and spineless. They only knew how to guard the Small Luo Secret Realm all day long. However, after growing up, I realized that it was already very impressive for the Patriarch and the others to be able to guard the Small Luo Secret Realm in such a chaotic Great Desolate World. It was also because the Patriarch was able to guard the Small Luo Secret Realm that we could cultivate in peace and never worry about immortal stones."
Qianniao sat beside Gu Qingfeng and drank together. He said, "Little drunkard, do you know? It's not easy for many immortals in the Great Wasteland to survive. Our Little Luo Secret Realm has the Golden Rainbow Spirit Vein and can be self-sufficient. Occasionally, we go out to train, and we can still have a little surplus. However, the immortals in the other secret realms are different.
Qianniao explained the current situation of the Great Wasteland and said, "If your aptitude is good and your potential is great, the secret realm will still nurture you and ensure your daily consumption. However, if your aptitude is average, the secret realm will not even bother with you. Not to mention giving you immortal stones, if you cultivate in the secret realm, you will have to pay a certain amount of immortal stones every year."
"In order to survive, many immortals can only rely on going out on adventures. If they are lucky, they will be able to reap some benefits. If they are unlucky, they might not be able to reap any benefits for eight to ten years. They might even lose their lives."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and sighed: "Isn't it too stifling to live like this? You've already become an immortal, so why are you still staying in this so-called secret realm?"
"You really don't know how to stand and talk. Do you think it's easy to survive alone in the Great Wasteland? You won't be able to survive if you stay in the Mystic Realm. Although it's a little difficult to survive, at least your life is guaranteed. If anything happens, everyone can look out for each other. If you're alone outside, you might not even know how you died. "
Raising her cup and drinking, Qianniao said something that touched her the most since she left, "In the Great Wasteland, if you don't have a background, power, or strength, then your life is worse than a dog's."
