There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Xu Changshou pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that we don't have Linglong Fruit, one of the four foundation-building herbs. It seems that only the Hehuan Sect has Linglong Fruit. Our Linglong Fruit was obtained through trade with the Hehuan Sect. If we attack the Hehuan Sect, if they cut off our Linglong Fruit, wouldn't that also cut off our foundation-building pills?"

In the past, before Xu Changshou established his foundation, he had heard that the Green Immortal Sect did not have Linglong Fruit and the Hehuan Sect did not have Blood Cherry Blossom.

The two sects can only gather the medicinal materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill through trading with each other.

And now.

Xuan Yang wants to go to war with the people of Hehuan Sect. In this case, the people of Hehuan Sect will definitely prohibit the trade of Linglong Fruit with Green Immortal Sect.

Xu Changshou had this concern, so he asked this question.

"Hahaha!"

Xuan Yang laughed loudly upon hearing this, as if mocking Xu Changshou's ignorance: "Xu boy, do you think that if I leave the Hehuan Sect, I won't be able to get the Linglong Fruit?"

"You mean, you've found a way to get Linglong Fruit from somewhere else?"

Xu Changshou asked.

Suddenly I felt that I was overthinking it. With Xuan Yang's intelligence, how could he ignore such a simple problem?

Xuan Yang glanced at Xu Changshou meaningfully and said with a smile, "Xu boy, with your current level of cultivation, it's time for you to know something. It's okay to tell you."

Xu Changshou frowned slightly when he heard this, but did not speak, waiting for Xuanyang's next words.

Xuan Yang continued, "In fact, there are only thirteen kinds of medicinal herbs required to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. There is no such thing as main herbs or auxiliary herbs."

"What do you mean?" Xu Changshou was puzzled.

Xuan Yang said calmly, "Everyone knows that the foundation-building pill has four main ingredients, namely: Four Immortal Grasses, Blood Cherry Blossoms, Exquisite Fruit, and Emperor's Flowing Juice."

"What's wrong with this?" Xu Changshou wondered.

Ever since he entered the world of immortal cultivation, he knew that the foundation-building pill contained four main medicinal ingredients and nine auxiliary medicinal ingredients.

Xuan Yang's face was expressionless. "Of course not. When it comes to alchemy itself, there's no hierarchy of the thirteen medicinal ingredients in the Foundation Establishment Pill. They're artificially divided into primary and secondary ingredients."

"The reason for doing this is to deliberately control the production of four medicinal herbs, such as Linglong Fruit. If I want to cultivate Linglong Fruit trees, it will only take a few years for your ten thousand mu medicinal garden to be planted with Linglong Fruit trees."

"This……"

Xu Changshou was shocked. Xuan Yang's words overturned his previous cognition.

At the same time, a trace of resentment arose in his heart.

No one knew how much effort he had put in to obtain the four foundation-building medicines.

It turns out that the four foundation-building medicines can also be mass-produced, but the production volume is deliberately controlled by those in power.

"Uncle Xuanyang, why do you do this? This is unfair!" Xu Changshou said angrily.

He had risen step by step from being a menial disciple, and he knew better than anyone the menial disciples' desire to build their foundation.

In the eyes of menial disciples, building a foundation is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Xu Changshou originally thought that this was caused by the scarcity of the four foundation-building medicines, but he never expected that it was actually a human factor.

"hehe!"

Xuan Yang smiled calmly, then sneered: "This world is inherently unfair. Anyone who pursues fairness is foolish."

"Why do we need to control the production of the four foundation-building medicines? If the four foundation-building medicines are mass-produced, wouldn't everyone be able to build the foundation?" Xu Changshou let out a breath and asked calmly.

Xuan Yang smiled and said, "It's very simple, it's all about resource allocation. It's not difficult for everyone to establish a foundation, but the difficult part is forming a core. Because forming a core requires too many resources, and the resources in this world are too scarce, only enough for a small number of people to form a core. When these few people who have formed a core rise to power, they will form a new class. Once they reach this class, they will do everything they can to maintain their position, and at this time, the resources will be in their hands..."

Having said this, Xuan Yang paused and continued, "If all the resources were in your hands and you were asked to distribute them, how would you distribute them?"

"I……"

After hearing Xuan Yang's words, Xu Changshou fell silent...

If all the resources were in his hands, he would definitely distribute them to his relatives and descendants.

People are selfish. Who doesn't want to strengthen their own family? This is human nature. It is dirty but realistic.

This was Xu Changshou's idea when he was training Xu Chengzhi. He knew that Xu Chengzhi was lazy and his spiritual roots were not very good, so he wanted to use a lot of resources to turn Xu Chengzhi into a Jindan cultivator.

Xuan Yang continued, "So, this world is controlled by the powerful, the rules are made by the powerful, and the resources are allocated by the powerful. If the resources of this world were divided into one thousand portions, then eight hundred would be used to cultivate Nascent Souls, one hundred and ninety would be used to cultivate Golden Cores, nine would be used to build Foundations, and the remaining portion would support menial disciples."

"This……"

Xu Changshou was shocked when he heard this. This world was far more cruel than he had imagined.

You should know that the Green Immortal Sect has thousands of menial disciples, hundreds of foundation-building disciples, dozens of Golden Core cultivators, and only two or three cultivators with the Nascent Soul stage.

The combined wealth of thousands of menial disciples only accounts for one thousandth.

Eight hundred of these fortunes are in the hands of just a few people.

The gap between the rich and the poor is simply outrageous.

No wonder it is so difficult to build a foundation. It turns out that the resources are locked and monopolized. Ordinary cultivators are of course unable to build a foundation.

"It's enough for you to know about this matter. Don't disclose it to the people below. There's no point in saying more. Just go ahead and take action against the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. I've already made preparations for the Linglong Fruit matter." Xuan Yang warned with a smile.

"Yes!"

Xu Changshou nodded, then thought of something and asked, "What about the Fire Spirit? Can the Fire Spirit also be mass-produced?"

If the Fire Spirit can be mass-produced, then Xuan Yang's layout in the Fire Spirit Secret Realm decades ago would not have been very effective.

The Spirit of Fire is the last step for a foundation-building cultivator to refine the five elements' qi. Without the Spirit of Fire, it is impossible to advance from the late stage of foundation-building to the great perfection of foundation-building.

If the Fire Spirit can produce energy, then it will be useless for them to kill as many people from the Hehuan Sect who have reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Xuan Yang shook his head. "The Fire Spirit is different. Although there are a large number of Fire Spirits, they are all in the magma layer at the center of the earth. They can only be obtained through the Fire Spirit Secret Realm. The Fire Spirit Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. Therefore, for at least the next hundred years, the Hehuan Sect will not be able to obtain the Fire Spirit."

"Understood!"

Xu Changshou secretly admired him, saying that he was worthy of being the Xuanyang Lao Deng, as he had planned everything out.

"Any question?"

"Gone."

Xuan Yang waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, take over Pingyang Market as soon as possible, and you can practice with peace of mind."

"Disciple obey!"

Xu Changshou bowed slightly, then floated away.

After returning to Green Ink Peak, Xu Changshou did not stop and took Si Chenhui directly to Pingyang Market.

At this time, all the foundation-building cultivators of Green Ink Peak were basically hiding in the Wanbao Pavilion.

Ouyang Qingze and others had already figured out all the situations in Pingyang Market several months ago.

Just wait for Xu Changshou's order and start the war.
