There was no need to report to anyone. The ancient Cultivation tradition of the Free and Unfettered Travel made people feel very comfortable. They inherited the concept of governing by doing nothing, enjoying their own blessings and misfortunes, and indulging in their natural instincts. For a pure Immortal Cultivator, this was a Cultivation Paradise.
He would not choose to fly all the way down. The Divine Mountain Continent was too big, and Jin Dan's speed was not enough in this space. If he flew from one continent to another, not to mention the vastness of the continent itself, the time needed to find people, and the time needed to pass through the sea of clouds, it would take him at least ten years to find any cultivator who had the top-notch materials of the five elements.
Not to mention that there might not be a suitable opportunity for some of them. Finding the right person, but giving away the precious materials to others? He would have to continue looking for the next one!
Fortunately, for the disciples of the nine Divine Mountains, the cost of teleporting was very low. This was also a way to encourage them to travel more and see more of the world.
He could only look for the disciples of the other eight Divine Mountains because they had the most first-grade materials of the five elements. If he went to the other three thousand Divine Mountains, he would be exhausted to death.
It was not easy to touch a tiger's butt, but because it was a tiger's butt, it did not matter if it was exposed in front of others. Instead, it gave him more opportunities. In some aspects of the Cultivation World, Zhou Xian's Upper Realm was actually similar to the Five Ring Qing Sky Sect. Upper realm cultivators rarely meddled in the affairs of lower realm cultivators. They were more inclined to solve their own problems.
When you hit the young, the old will come. In fact, this was not popular in the Cultivation World. Even the relatively Buddhist-like Upper Realm of Zhou Xian was very clear that cultivating disciples could not be too arrogant. They needed to be given space and an independent environment to do things. Otherwise, they would develop the bad habit of relying on their elders for everything. In the end, they would be cultivated into a pile of trash.
He also had his own opinions on how to find people. Unlike Five Rings or Qing Kong, his fellow disciples were either cultivating in the mountain gate or traveling outside on missions. Without news from the inside, it was very difficult to find people.
However, the Nine Great Sacred Mountains of the Zhou Xian Upper Realm were different. Every Sacred Mountain had a vast territory. Apart from the orthodoxy of the Sacred Mountain itself, there was no other sect. It was as if the mountain gate was a continent that was close to a hundred thousand miles wide. The continent was the mountain gate. The Jin Dan disciples were scattered across the land, responsible for passing down the orthodoxy of the sect. On the other hand, the Zhenren and Perfected Lords were more concentrated on the Sacred Mountain, just like the Xiao Yao You.
This kind of situation was very suitable for doing some robberies. As long as it wasn't too excessive, no one would even investigate! This was also the reason why Lou Xiaoyi chose to return to his old profession here. Speaking of which, as a youth who came out from a proper bandit den, he had never done such a thing before!
As for how to find people, it wasn't difficult in the Zhou Xian Upper Realm. The developed Chamber of Commerce's system would provide information about the shops scattered across the continent, including the information of the cultivators guarding nearby.
It was simply a paradise for robbers. However, for some reason, the profession of robber wasn't flourishing here.
… … …
North Liang Dao of the Yellow Court Continent. This was the most barren area of the Yellow Court Continent. It was sparsely populated, and the orthodoxy was not clear. Those who were sent to guard this place were either not powerful in the sect or had violated the sect's rules.
Daoist Zu Chong had violated the sect's rules. Of course, in his opinion, it wasn't a big mistake. It was nothing more than a momentary interest in the Dao of Dual Cultivation. He did some superficial research on it, possibly involving the karma of more than ten mortal women. In the end, he was reported by a villain and was sent to this sparsely populated area.
However, he had a foundation in the Huangting Daoism. It was only a few decades, so it wasn't a big deal. Moreover, he had compensated those women greatly, enough for them to live the rest of their lives without any worries. Wasn't it just that they couldn't have children? Without the burden of offspring, wouldn't their lives be better?
The problem lay in the fact that, as a guardian cultivator, he was directly responsible for the local cultivation education. In other words, every ten years, the number of cultivation seeds one could contribute to the sect would determine the conditions under which the cultivator would receive resources from the sect.
He didn't care about resources. His family had an upper-level cultivator behind him, so he never had to worry about resources. However, his difficulty was in the evaluation. If he had a bad evaluation for three consecutive ten-year years, it would inevitably affect his time to return to the flourishing world.
He worked very hard in his cultivation, but this didn't mean that he couldn't enjoy life!
Because it was located in a remote area and had a sparse population, his quota was much lower than other densely populated areas. However, no matter how low it was, it was necessary to have a Jin Dan every ten years. He couldn't possibly have a score of zero, right?
He had already had a score of zero for two years!
Jin Dan wasn't a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so the requirements in all aspects were very harsh. Moreover, he wasn't someone who could endure loneliness and was willing to settle down and educate others.
This was the third ten-year period. In his opinion, the chances of those Foundation Establishment cultivators in this area becoming Jin Dan cultivators within a few years weren't high. This forced him to think of some tricks!
He would buy people from other areas with a strong cultivation atmosphere!
To be more specific, he would make a deal with a fellow disciple who had a good education record. After the other party completed the ten-year task, he would recommend the extra upper-level cultivators to him. This would represent Liangbei Dao in completing the ten-year basic education target!
Because of this, he had to pay a large amount of resources to this Senior Brother. After all, the Yellow Court Sect gave generous rewards to cultivators that exceeded their quota, and the transaction price he gave would surely be more attractive than this reward, right?
He couldn't make it too public. Although buying and selling quotas was an unwritten rule in the Jin Dan disciple circle, since it was an unspoken rule, he couldn't bring it up on the table. He had to take into account the reputation of all parties involved. The solution was very simple — through the ubiquitous Chamber of Commerce.
Actually, the Chamber of Commerce was also backed by the Yellow Court Sect. However, for the sake of spirit stones, it didn't matter if it was like this.
He had found a quota. In a few days, this new Jin Dan cultivator would come to meet him to discuss some specific details and excuses. As for him, he would have to pay this person a large sum of hush money!
He dared to deceive the sect after entering? This was a serious crime. Not every new Jin Dan cultivator had the guts to do so. Most of them would reject such a request for the sake of their bright future. Only a very small number of them had opened their spiritual eyes or were under special circumstances.
Zu Chong didn't want to be such a sucker. Although he didn't lack resources, he wouldn't waste them either. He decided to persuade this Jin Dan cultivator after meeting him. He could first show his background in the Yellow Court Sect and promise to take care of him. If that didn't work, he could threaten him. Since he came here, he must have lost his state of mind. A fly wouldn't bite a seamless egg. Since he had taken the step of selling himself, Zu Chong had plenty of ways to force him to submit!
