Around two o 'clock in the afternoon, there were not many warriors left in the store. Although there were many warriors on Monday, Mo Tiankong only needed to collect the money, so he was very efficient. Some of the warriors in Yuanfang City also left after buying.
It was worth mentioning that the average spending in Yuanfang City was very high. Other than the items on the third shelf, everyone bought a Ferghana horse. Even the group of young masters bought a lot.
After all, it was a big city, and it was a city with a Martial Honorable. There were also some ordinary people in the city, so the resources were definitely occupied by the big families.
There were dozens of cities in the Aquamarine Empire, and there were not many cities with a Martial Honorable in charge.
For example, 99% of the people in Sentry Town were warriors. The survival and cultivation of warriors would undoubtedly divide the surrounding resources, so the four big families did not get as many resources as other cities.
The steady increase in wealth was mostly brought by the spirit stone mines, some shops in the town, and hunting teams formed by the families.
Now it seemed that after the teleportation array was set up, it was still effective. Other than a group of family disciples and some higher-ups, there were also many warriors, but their cultivation was relatively high.
After all, Martial Honorable warriors might not use the teleportation array, and a round trip cost ten spirit stones. For them, ten spirit stones was a relatively large number. After all, Martial Honorable warriors did not have many ways to earn money, and their cultivation was too low.
Even if they joined a sect, the subsidies would at most be some pills, which might not even be enough for cultivation. If they joined a family, their cultivation would be a bit lower.
For ordinary families, they could only join the army and have a military salary, and they could continue to cultivate.
Since the empire started to suppress the sects, many ordinary warriors chose to join the army. The sects also gradually declined, and now it was difficult to recruit people.
Fortunately, the sects had their own craftsmen, alchemists, array masters, and so on, so they could still be self-sufficient in refining some pills. Moreover, the sects that could survive all had their own spirit stone mines, and their disciples also needed to participate in the mining. Some of the raw materials for pills and weapons were traded at the market, and most of the disciples went out to harvest and then traded to the sects.
However, there were no sects near Sentry Town, so most of the Itinerant Cultivators either joined mercenary groups or the army.
Although the death rate of the army was high, the treatment was actually quite good. The biggest expenditure of the Empire was the military because the cultivation of martial arts required a lot of resources. Moreover, it was also considered as defending the borders of the Empire. Naturally, they would not be stingy.
Furthermore, a martial artist's cultivation required a large amount of resources. The empire's annual taxes were directly subsidized to the army.
Furthermore, with absolute martial strength, there was no need to worry about the army rebelling. Although there would be a quantitative change when the number of soldiers reached a certain level, when it came to Martial Emperors, there was a huge difference between each grade. Such a situation did not exist.
As long as a force of this level did not appear, the Empire would be able to suppress it with a flip of the hand. Therefore, the military funding was not ambiguous. It was equivalent to increasing the strength of one's subordinates.
However, this was only one of the reasons. The second reason was that it wasn't good. The cities were all close to the Chaotic Ocean, and their defenses were much worse than some of the empires in the Central Plains. As a result, the death rate was very high. If they didn't increase the benefits and benefits, how could they attract cultivators to join the army?
In contrast, the Empire's military funding was increased every year. However, joining the army would also be restricted. The degree of freedom was not as high. Basically, the soldiers would be rotated. They would be stationed for a month and then the next batch of cultivators would be exchanged.
After that, these cultivators could go home to visit their families or do something else. However, once the war became urgent, they would be unconditionally recruited. Just like the previous sea beast riot, all the soldiers would be prepared for war. The rest time would be directly canceled until the war ended.
Naturally, the army also had its own military rules. There were many rules and regulations. Those who cowered in the face of battle or fled would be punished in light cases. In heavy cases, they would be killed on the spot.
After waiting for the last cultivator in the shop to leave, Mo Tiankong was a little bored. After all, Auspicious was still sleeping and digesting. He had not woken up in the morning.
This guy could be considered to have a good sleep. He had slept for more than a day. Who knew how much his cultivation had improved.
Opening the card space, Mo Tiankong used his mental strength to sense. It seemed to be awake. This was because in Mo Tiankong's perception, there was a life form that was constantly jumping around in the magma.
Mo Tiankong used his mental strength and summoned Auspicious.
However, the first thing that entered his eyes was that the aura of its cultivation had increased by a large amount. It was already at the level of a grade three Martial Master.
Mo Tiankong frowned. It was a little different from what he had imagined. In any case, it had swallowed a Wuzong level Demonic Beast. Unexpectedly, it had only increased by one level. What a wastrel.
It had swallowed the whole thing. The heart, the flesh, and even the scales of the Demonic Beast had only increased by this much.
Next, its body had increased in size. However, it was not by much. From the size of a kitten to the size of a puppy, it was only slightly bigger. This was something that Mo Tiankong was very happy about. After all, if it was too big, the grocery store would not be able to fit it.
The most important thing was that Mo Tiankong still liked smaller ones. Smaller ones were cuter. If it was too big, it would not look good if he hugged it.
After all, when he was on Earth, Mo Tiankong really liked small animals. However, he could not afford to raise them. He could only occasionally feed them to stray cats and dogs. Well, Qilin was also considered a small animal.
Fortunately, it did not grow too much. Otherwise, Mo Tiankong would consider selling it. Fortunately, Auspicious did not know Mo Tiankong's thoughts. Otherwise, it would have really grown too much.
After all, Mo Tiankong abused it from time to time. Every time they finished eating, he would make it clean up the dishes. Did he not know that it was still a baby?
The moment Ji Xiang came out, she jumped into Mo Tiankong's embrace and burrowed in with all her might. She seemed very excited. After all, her cultivation had broken through a lot. Moreover, Ji Xiang also liked to be hugged.
The whole body of a Wuzong Level Demonic Beast was sold for hundreds of Spirit Stones. In the end, its cultivation had only increased by so much. Mo Tiankong did not know if it was because of the Divine Beast's constitution or something else. The price of Auspicious was different from the price of a Ferghana horse.
He was a little worried. If it was cultivated to the Martial God Level, it would probably need to eat a bunch of Martial God Level Demonic Beasts. Cultivating a martial artist might not even cost Auspicious money. If it was converted to Spirit Stones, Mo Tiankong could not calculate it for the time being.
Every cultivation level required different amounts of Spirit Stones. He had not tested it and did not plan to test it. In the future, he would bring Auspicious to hunt more Demonic Beasts to save Spirit Stones. Anyway, he had nothing to do. When he was in the shop, he just ate and slept.
Although Auspicious was a Divine Beast, it also needed combat experience. Otherwise, if it was raised by him, it would be beaten up by Demonic Beast Warriors of the same level even if its cultivation level was high.
When its cultivation level was high enough, others would be able to resist the fire for a short time. After a few moves, it would be finished. Mo Tiankong felt that Auspicious could not break the Yuan Qi shield that he had condensed in a short time.
Only Martial King Level Demonic Beasts of the same level would be able to deal some damage to its flames. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was invincible, but like him, it did not have much combat experience.
However, if Auspicious was also a Martial King Level Demonic Beast, then it would be a little tricky. Its flames were also a big problem. It would require a lot of Yuan Qi to resist the flames for a short time before it could attack Auspicious.
Moreover, a Divine Beast's physique was stronger than a human martial artist of the same level. It would not be able to win in a battle of attrition. Fortunately, humans had powerful Martial Skills that could directly explode with several times the power to injure or even kill it.
However, as a Divine Beast, Auspicious naturally had its own Martial Skills. However, Mo Tiankong had not seen Auspicious before. After all, Auspicious would burn low-level Demonic Beasts to ashes, so there was no chance to use it.
"You wastrel! You only managed to raise your cultivation by so little after eating so many." However, Mo Tiankong's heart began to ache again. A few Martial Ancestor Realm Demonic Beasts were worth a few hundred Spirit Stones each. Yet, he only managed to raise his cultivation by so little after eating so many.
The scales on the back of the Iron Back Lizard were good materials for armor. Even with his Martial King Level Demonic Beasts cultivation, it was difficult for him to fight it. Defending against the attacks of ordinary Martial King Level Demonic Beasts would not be a problem. After all, he still had his title and weapon. Of course, he did not use his full strength.
If he had used his mental power to guide the Yuan Qi of the world to attack, he would have been able to kill it in one blow. After all, the difference between Wuzong Level Demonic Beasts and Martial Kings Level Demonic Beasts was quite big.
At that time, he also wanted to hone his Martial Skills. It just so happened that the Iron Back Lizard was quite hard, so he did not use his full strength.
"Ao Ao Wu Wu …" Auspicious felt very wronged. It was her fault. She also wanted to know how her cultivation increased by so little.
The energy transformation was definitely not 100%. Moreover, after giving Auspicious the special ability, it was impossible to achieve a complete transformation. Otherwise, Mo Tiankong would have directly killed a Martial King Level Demonic Beast and swallowed Auspicious to reach the Martial King Level.
However, Mo Tiankong also planned to raise Auspicious free. After killing the Demonic Beasts, if Mo Tiankong did not want to eat the Demonic Beasts, he would give them to Auspicious. After all, she was not a picky eater.
For Demonic Beasts like the Tree Frog, Mo Tiankong really could not eat them. Moreover, they were poisonous. He did not know if they could be eaten.
"Okay, then let's cook." It was almost evening. Mo Tiankong thought that there was no one in the Ideal Restaurant. Auspicious had also woken up, so it was time to cook.
This was the problem with eating. One would not have much appetite when eating alone, but when eating in a group, it would be very appetizing.
If Auspicious did not come out, he would not have much appetite either. With his current physique, it would not be a problem for him to not eat or drink for a month.
Hearing that Mo Tiankong was going to cook, Auspicious happily circled around Mo Tiankong.
"…" Mo Tiankong felt that he was not raising a Qilin, but a pig.
After eating, it would happily hum a few times. After eating, it would lie down and sleep. It was indeed quite similar to a pig.
Ignoring Auspicious, Mo Tiankong turned around and entered the kitchen. He began to fiddle with the food.
In the Tianxuan Continent, most of Mo Tiankong's leisure time was used to practice his cooking. After all, there was not much entertainment. He could only cultivate this hobby. Fortunately, there were still some ingredients. There was a lot of Demonic Beast meat being shipped out to be sold along the coastline every day. Mo Tiankong did not care about the quality of the Demonic Beast meat, as long as it was edible.
