Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

20 Chapter 20: The Pit of Fire

Thirty a year.

Three hundred in ten years.

Three thousand in a hundred years.

Thirty thousand in a thousand years.

In other words, if He Song’s income never increases, he would need to farm for a thousand years to save up thirty thousand spirit stones.

And this is only possible if He Song doesn’t eat or drink, doesn’t spend spirit stones on cultivation, and doesn’t spend spirit stones on socializing.

A thousand years… wouldn’t the vegetables be cold by then?

Although he had an endless lifespan, it wasn’t meant to be wasted like this.

With a thought, He Song threw away the idea and continued to listen attentively.

“Now, the Thick Earth Sect is recruiting loose cultivators for mining. Every loose cultivator who goes in to mine for a month can get thirty spirit stones as wages.”

As Wei Fan’s words came again.

The two, who were already somewhat shocked, suddenly widened their eyes again.

Thirty spirit stones a month? Isn’t that three hundred and sixty spirit stones a year?

This income.

It’s much higher than the income of the spiritual plant farmer inside the Immortal Pavilion.

As a spiritual plant farmer within the Immortal Pavilion, He Song could only get a hundred and fifty spirit stones after working tirelessly for a year.action

After deducting the rent, he only had thirty spirit stones left to spend freely.

But now,

Just any loose cultivator that goes mining could have an annual income of three hundred and sixty spirit stones.

As long as they don’t live in the Immortal Pavilion.

The income of those loose cultivators is entirely at their disposal.

The gap between thirty spirit stones and three hundred and sixty spirit stones is more than ten times!

While calculating all this in his mind, He Song suddenly felt that the thirty spirit stones he gets in a year were not so attractive anymore.

He worked hard for a year to get thirty spirit stones.

Others can get thirty spirit stones within a month as a loose cultivator.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

With such calculations,

Going to the nearby Red Spirit Gold Mine Mountain to mine is like picking up spirit stones in a sack!

“Unfortunately, they only recruit loose cultivators there. We, who are internal cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion, are not allowed to enter. Sigh.” Wei Fan seemed to have sensed their intentions and immediately poured cold water on them.

Taking a sip of tea, Wei Fan continued.

“Don’t even think about leaving the Immortal Pavilion. It’s easy to leave, but it’s hard to get back in. When you become a loose cultivator, it won’t be as stable as it is now.”

As soon as his words fell,

Meng Guan, who was already somewhat tempted, picked up the teacup next to him, frowned, and drank it all directly.

He Song kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, without saying anything.

But in his heart, he had already made up his mind.

The Thick Earth Sect is recruiting loose cultivator miners and is offering thirty spirit stones as wages for a month’s work.

This indicates that due to the immense value of the mine, the Thick Earth Sect wants to complete the mining as soon as possible.

As for whether there is any danger in the mine,

He Song wouldn’t know.

However, having experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, He Song is always cautious about everything.

There must be something odd about hiring loose cultivator miners at such high prices.

Moreover, the Thick Earth Sect only recruits loose cultivator miners and does not recruit internal personnel from the Immortal Pavilion to mine, which has an unclear intention.

The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion is not far from that mine.

If they really want to excavate quickly, their own people from within the Immortal Pavilion would be more trustworthy.

In that case, still only recruiting loose cultivator miners…

The greed in He Song’s eyes completely vanished at this moment.

This mine.

Definitely can’t go!

He had made up his mind, and at this moment, the weight in his heart was finally lifted.

It was true that miners could earn more spirit stones, but even if they earned more spirit stones, they would still need their lives to spend them.

You have your eyes on the rich reward.

Others might have their eyes on your life.

Between the light and the heavy, He Song naturally understood in his heart.

As an everlasting being, living longer was his greatest advantage.

If he still took risks for some cultivation resources like other cultivators, he would be a rather incompetent everlasting being.

Other cultivators fought life and death for cultivation resources because their lives were short, and not fighting would mean death.

But he had already gained everlasting life, which made him completely different from them.

He casually poured a cup of tea for Meng Guan and pushed the teacup in front of him.

At this moment.

Meng Guan, with an old face, looked very struggling.

He had been stuck in the Qi-refining mid stage for far too long.

So long that he himself felt that his mindset had aged, turning himself into an old man.

But now.

An opportunity to earn a large amount of spirit stones was right in front of him.

However, to seize this opportunity, he would have to give up his identity as an insider in the Immortal Pavilion and become a loose cultivator.

This was a result he could not accept at all.

The gap between the cultivators inside the Immortal Pavilion and loose cultivators was actually extremely wide.

The mortality rate of loose cultivators was high.

No one would avenge a loose cultivator after they were harmed.

Loose cultivators had a very low status, so low that anyone could step on them.

The resources available to loose cultivators were also very limited.

However, being a cultivator within the Immortal Pavilion, none of these issues would exist.

Cultivating in peace.

Resources allocated monthly or yearly.

Friends avenging you after being wronged.

A high status within the Immortal Pavilion, even treating loose cultivators with disdain.

Such a strong contrast made Meng Guan both want to earn a high amount of spirit stones and reluctant to give up his identity as a member of the Immortal Pavilion.

That was the reason for his struggle at the moment.

“Lao Meng, don’t think too much about it. Save up spirit stones in peace, and when the time is right, we will go to Green Wall Immortal City together to buy you a Breakthrough Elixir,” Wei Fan, seeing Meng Guan’s struggle, immediately said softly.

“Wei brother is right, let’s save up spirit stones slowly. Who knows, by the time we have enough spirit stones, maybe we will have already broken through on our own,” He Song said, consoling him as well.

Meng Guan could be considered as He Song’s guide in the Cultivation World.

If Meng Guan hadn’t casually given his former self a copy of “Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill,” He Song might have become a loose cultivator as soon as he crossed over.

The survival of loose cultivators in the Cultivation World was much worse than that of spiritual plant farmers.

Not to mention breaking through to the third-tier Qi Refining within five years.

It was still a question whether he could break through to the second-tier of Qi Refining within five years.

Moreover, He Song had never experienced the various dangers that loose cultivators had to face.

In this sense, Meng Guan indeed had a great kindness towards He Song, although he didn’t know it himself.

But He Song had to remember this point.

Being clear-minded was also one of the elements in cultivating immortality.

Now that he saw Meng Guan wanting to jump into the pit of the Red Spirit Gold Mine Mountain, He Song would certainly try to persuade him as long as it didn’t affect himself.

Although mining in the mountain could earn more.

Their lives might not be guaranteed.

At the same time, they would also have to resign from their positions in the Immortal Pavilion.

To pay such a heavy price and jump into the pit, if He Song didn’t persuade him and watched Meng Guan fall into the pit, he would feel guilty.
