Chapter 223 Changes in Evil Veins, Qingxuan Ban(1/4)
"...
This is the situation of the first-order evil veins located in the hinterland of Qingxuan Territory.
Let’s talk about the situation of those first-order evil veins in the middle ring area.
If we take the harvest of first-level evil veins in the hinterland of Qingxuan Domain before the Qingxuan Sect's reform as one share.
During the same period, the number of first-level evil veins harvested in the central area was approximately equivalent to 0.4 points.
Since the revolution that spread throughout the Qingxuan Territory, the hunting of first-order evil veins in this area has been rapidly increasing.
The improvement is even greater than that in the hinterland area.
And three or four years ago, the number of hunts increased to about five. Compared with more than ten years ago, the increase was about ten times.
And this has reached the limit of these evil veins. Since last year, the hunting of evil veins has begun to decline one after another."
"Then there is the outer ring area. Before the changes throughout the Qingxuan Territory began, in addition to the monks from Wucailing, Qiandao Lake, and Jixueyuan, they continued to hunt the monster beasts in the surrounding first and second level evil veins.
Except for the Qingxuan Sect, which regularly arranges some sect tasks to maintain continuous attention to the situation of evil veins in various areas of the outer ring area, other forces will not set foot in this area at all.
The hunting of monster beasts in this area of the outer ring, both in scale and quantity, is very small and not large-scale at all.
However, this situation has been slowly changing since the Qingxuan Territory began to undergo major changes.
In the first few years, this change was relatively slow, and was mostly the helpless behavior of some casual cultivators, or small organizations, or small forces after losing the competition.
But since five or six years ago, more and more monks and forces have consciously and actively spread their power to the outer ring area.
And the power poured into the outer ring area continues to increase every year.
The hunting situation of first-order evil veins in various places has been too small to be counted more than ten years ago. Now it can provide an average of one hunting output per year. This is already the same as that of the first-order evil veins in the hinterland of Qingxuan Territory.
Hunting output remains flat.”
Although he had known this information in advance, "Little Five" was extremely solemn when speaking it out in front of "Big Brother" at the same time and reorganizing it in his own mind.
Meng Zhou listened equally attentively. At this moment, seeing that he had roughly sorted out the situation of the first-order evil veins in the Qingxuan Domain, Meng Zhou asked: "What about the situation of the second-order evil veins?"
"Xiaowu" said:
"The overall changing trend of the second-order evil veins is similar to the situation of the first-order evil veins.
However, only foundation-building monks are qualified to penetrate into the second-level evil veins, and they must also be foundation-building monks with certain practical combat and self-protection abilities.
Although the number of foundation-building monks has been growing explosively in recent years, their number and growth rate are far from comparable to that of Qi-training monks.
In addition, in most forces, foundation building is still an important backbone, and it is the core pillar of a force.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, one will not go deep into the evil veins to fight for his life with evil beasts for a long time.
Therefore, although the overall change trend of the second-order evil veins is the same as that of the first-order evil veins, the rhythm is a few beats slower.
The number of those second-order evil spirits located in the hinterland of Qingxuan Territory has greatly increased compared to more than ten years ago.
However, there has been no significant growth for several years, and the two second-level evil veins closest to Qinglinfang have even shown a downward trend in hunting.
This should have reached the first change node. If my prediction is correct, in the next few years, the hunting of these second-order evil veins in the hinterland will gradually decrease."
"The hunting of those second-order evil veins and second-order monsters in the central area is still increasing year by year, and their output has not yet reached the level of the second-order evil veins in the hinterland.
Because the original level of exploration is already very low, if my prediction is correct, in the next few years, the hunting of second-level evil beasts in this area will have a rapid increase period, and then reach a certain peak.
The status is stopped.
After stabilizing for a few years, the number of hunted animals will slowly decline again."
"In the past two years, the number of foundation-building monks active in the outer ring area has increased significantly, and the number of second-level evil beasts hunted in the area has also increased significantly.
However, overall, it is still not large-scale.”
Having said this, "Xiaowu" paused for a moment before adding again:
“However, there are exceptions to this.
The Blue Blood Plains, Qiandao Lake, and Wucai Ridge have been engaged in fierce battles with the surrounding monsters.
The number of monsters hunted was far higher than elsewhere.
And because of the successful upgrade of Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins and the unexpected success of the Blue Blood Army, Qiandao Lake and Wucailing have received more and more attention in recent years, and more and more forces with foundation building and even fake elixirs are pouring into these two areas.
At the spiritual channel.
Because of the joining of these people, coupled with the competition between old and new forces, their hunting speed for surrounding second-level monsters is much faster than before."
After sorting out the general situation, "Xiao Wu" stopped talking and waited quietly aside.
Meng Zhou didn't say anything. After a while, he looked at "Xiao Wu" who was standing there respectfully, and he began to think about teaching.
So, he paused his thinking and asked: "What did you see through this information?"
"Xiao Wu" had obviously thought about this question for a long time, and he answered it without much hesitation.
"Since the Qingxuan Sect initiated this revolution throughout the Qingxuan Territory, the number of practitioners has been expanding at an extremely fast rate.
Among them, those whose numbers have increased the most are the Qi-training monks.
In just over ten years, very few Qi Practitioners died of natural causes, but the number of Qi Practitioners has increased several times.
According to our investigation, those who became qi-training monks after the changes in the Qingxuan Realm have begun to appear in large numbers with mid-level qi-training levels.
This number will continue to increase with every passing year in an unstoppable trend.
Some of them performed particularly well and ran the fastest, and their cultivation levels have even reached the late stages of Qi training.
In the next ten years or so, they will enter the late stage of Qi training on a large scale.
In addition, he was originally a qi-training monk. Unless he is too old or has bad luck and some unforeseen changes occur, as long as he survives until now, his strength will basically have improved a lot.
Because of this current situation, the Qi practicing community’s demand for various resources is almost unlimited, and demand is always in short supply.
When counting the hunting of various monsters, we also made statistics on the various spiritual minerals, spiritual herbs and elixirs collected by each evil vein every year.
Because more and more people are entering the evil veins, the harvest is greater than before, but the growth rate is completely incomparable to the changes in the hunting of monster beasts.
In the past ten years, the collection, trade, and utilization of various animal materials have also rapidly become mature.
In areas such as alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formations, the proportion of animal materials used is also increasing."
"This situation exists not only among Qi-training monks, but also among Foundation-building monks."
"The quantity of other types of spiritual materials is far from being able to meet such a strong demand, and the attention of the entire cultivation world has gradually shifted to the group of monsters.
Now, in the eyes of the Qingxuan Domain monks, every monster is like a mobile resource bank.
Skin, fur, blood, flesh, organs, bones, claws, teeth, eyes, tendons...nothing is without value."
"Because of this current situation, it was only the choice of a small number of monks to risk their lives and enter the evil veins to hunt monsters.
Now, it has become a step that almost every practitioner must take.
The good news is that because the number of practitioners entering the evil channel is increasing, the risk spread to everyone is getting lower and lower.
The bad news is that although the number of monster beasts hunted by each evil line is far greater than before, the number of monks participating is more than before. When it is divided evenly among each participant, the harvest becomes less.
Moreover, monsters also need time to grow.
A first-level high-grade monster usually takes no less than twenty years to grow from cub to maturity.
As everyone starts from the evil veins in the hinterland, they hunt without restraint. After a short period of high harvest, as the number of remaining monsters in the evil veins decreases sharply, we will soon fall into a situation where there are no animals to hunt."
Meng Zhou nodded slowly and asked: "How do you think the situation will develop next?"
"Xiaowu" said:
"First of all, those first and second level evil veins located in the hinterland will quickly deplete their monster resources."
Meng Zhou nodded.
In the hinterland of the Qingxuan Territory, the practitioners are the strongest, the number of evil veins is the smallest, and the threat from monsters is almost non-existent.
The first and second level evil veins located here have long ago changed from a "threat to monks" to a "controllable source of resources."
"Next, more and more monks will flock to the first and second level evil veins in the central area that are being explored more and more clearly.
Because there are more evil veins here and have been less explored before, each evil vein has more abundant monster resources.
Therefore, although the resources of these evil beasts with important evil veins will inevitably be exhausted, they should last longer than those evil veins in the hinterland."
"In the past, it was not taken seriously by everyone. It was regarded as a dangerous and daunting area. It is also the outer ring area with the most evil veins and the richest monster resources. Its status will become more and more important, and more and more monks will flock here."
Meng Zhou nodded and asked again: "And then?"
"And then?"
"Xiao Wu" was a little confused and looked at Meng Zhou with a look that asked for advice.
Meng Zhou sighed and reminded:
"Have you forgotten that more than fifty years ago, Qingxuan Sect also had a plan to develop the outer ring area, but for what reason it was shelved?"
"Xiaowu" was stunned for a moment, and then took a breath of cold air.
"Brother, you...you mean the beast tide?"
