Chapter 38: The True Cultivation World
Dream Dao Attainment: Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
The fake world of cultivation: dining on rosy clouds and drinking dew, broad circles of friends, sitting and discussing the Dao. When the mood struck, one could roam the North Sea in the morning and reach Cangwu by dusk. Every one of them was an immortal who ate no mortal food and knew nothing of the world's烟火, carefree and joyous.
The real world of cultivation: the world is so vast, but unfortunately, there's no money to go see it.
Lin Qi could not help but shake his head. He finally understood the meaning behind Xiao Mingcheng's words.
He had thought that Xiao Mingcheng and the others entered the Storm Ocean to hunt demon beasts in order to complete the Immortal Academy's missions. But it turned out it was to make money.
It was no wonder Lin Qi hadn't grasped the situation.
The main reason was that the information about the world of cultivation he had obtained in Zhao Zijing's dream came almost entirely from the Immortal Academy.
And the Immortal Academy had no such thing as the spirit stones or immortal stones popular in past-life novels as common currency for cultivators.
What circulated in the Immortal Academy and could serve as currency was the Contribution Points issued by the Academy.
Each Immortal Academy disciple could receive a certain quota of Contribution Points every year, or obtain more by completing Academy missions.
Then use Contribution Points to exchange for various cultivation resources.
It was equivalent to a kind of credit currency.
As for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Realm, most of the time their transactions still leaned toward the primitive barter of goods.
The reason was simple.
For most cultivators, truly precious cultivation resources could not possibly be bought with ordinary equivalents.
It was like how an ordinary person could not possibly buy a J-20 with money.
So the most primitive barter was the only transaction method high-tier cultivators commonly used and trusted.
As for Immortal Academy Contribution Points, they merely existed for the convenience of Academy disciples exchanging cultivation resources.
Looking across the entire world of cultivation, credit currencies like the Immortal Academy's Contribution Points, backed by individual strength, were as numerous as ox hairs.
Any random Golden Core Ancestor could print his own portrait on a pile of them and use them to harvest the low-tier cultivators under his command.
As for the crystals Xiao Mingcheng and the others mentioned that could be spent as money, they were actually energy blocks made by cultivators that could store true qi and spiritual power.
Similar to fuel oil on Earth.
Because they could serve as energy sources to drive Dharma Artifacts, most cultivators carried some on them.
Thus, they instead became a kind of transaction item among low-tier cultivators, somewhat like circulating currency.
In short, this world had no spirit stones that could truly serve as circulating currency.
Perhaps there had once been, but after a cultivation history of billions of years, they had long since been exhausted.
Moreover, the cultivators of this world did not need spirit stones to assist their cultivation.
Because the cultivators of This Realm, in a certain sense, had already broken free from the shackles that basic resources placed on cultivation.
No.
