Due to delays from Dengzhou Haicheng and Liuzhou Haicheng, it would take two days for the fleet to dock.
However, this period of time is enough for Zhao Yuhang and others to make more detailed plans and check for any omissions.
At this time, Zhao Yuhang and others were communicating with Deng Feng and others, and the main speakers were Zhao Yuhang and Deng Feng. The atmosphere of the exchange was relatively friendly, and Zhao Yuhang and others were already speaking very smoothly in local language.
Deng Feng showed sincere emotion: "It took only five days to basically master the new language. It seems that the inheritance of cultivators here has many shortcomings and has lost a lot of its essence. It is wonderful."
Zhao Yuhang smiled and said, "I was a little neglectful during the previous few meetings. Today I specially brought out the spiritual tea from our place. How about trying it?"
There are no maids on the warship, only guards. There is not much tea art in the process of making tea. The hot spiritual spring breaks open the dark green tea tips one by one. After waiting for about two minutes, Zhao Yuhang stood up and poured the tea himself.
The translucent green tea was poured into the glass.
"When I'm away from home, I don't have to pay much attention to it. But I can probably enjoy the charm of spiritual tea."
Deng Feng thanked him, picked up the glass with both hands, and smelled it gently. He felt a faint fragrance slowly flowing into his body. Under this faint fragrance, the inside and outside of his body seemed to be cleansed. He felt refreshed and refreshed instantly.
All the fatigue disappeared.
I took a deep breath, took a slow sip, and felt a clear spring flowing into my body. The clear spring contained some kind of active energy, and it actually made my somewhat difficult cultivation level seem to fluctuate a bit!
Deng Feng's eyes widened, "This spiritual tea...can actually promote cultivation?"
Zhao Yuhang nodded slowly and said with a faint smile: "Where we are, spiritual tea, especially high-grade spiritual tea, is a very important auxiliary item in practice.
Compared with elixirs, spiritual tea has no erysipelas and can be consumed regularly. Of course, the first time you drink spiritual tea, the effect will be more significant.
This spiritual tea was recently cultivated by Dayang Group using scientific means. It is cultivated in a closed environment in a completely pure spiritual energy environment. It is used to receive distinguished guests, give gifts to friends and important partners."
VIP? Important partner?
Deng Feng took another sip, savoring it slowly, feeling the faint but mellow fragrance flow into his throat, swirling around his body, stimulating ripples of the true energy in his body.
Such spiritual tea has never been heard of in the Xuanhuang world.
Looking at Deng Feng's expression, Zhao Yuhang was a little confused: "Is there no spiritual tea in the Xuanhuang world?"
Deng Feng shook his head slightly: "There is tea, and I have heard of some good teas. But I have never heard of teas that can promote cultivation. Of course, maybe there are some in the prosperous world of the East, but this kind of spiritual tea
This is indeed my first contact.”
Zhao Yuhang nodded slowly, but he had already discovered many problems through simple inquiries. After a rough understanding in the early stage, now he needs to have a more detailed understanding of Xuanhuang Zuzhou. Such an understanding requires starting from every detail.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yuhang asked again: "You said that you also have cultivation here, but there seems to be no room for development?"
"As far as I know, cultivation... consumes a lot of resources. From the beginning of the Qi refining stage, you need to use the Yuan-Building Pill. When you wait for the Foundation Establishment stage, you need to use the Foundation Establishment Pill and other assistance. Moreover, the cultivation time is relatively long, and it is easy to count.
Years, decades.
As far as I know, a cultivator who has been cultivating since childhood and is practicing successfully will have to be twenty years old at the earliest before he can enter the foundation building stage.
But if you are cultivating the Golden Body, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is very possible to enter the Golden Elixir realm at the age of twenty.
In our place, in this world where predators are everywhere, this gap is the distance between life and death. Therefore, in our place, only some large cities can cultivate cultivators, and cultivators are also vassal.
I heard that in the East, especially in the City in the Sky, cultivators have a very high status. But the distance is too far, and we only have legends here."
Zhao Yuhang asked again and roughly understood:
The Xuanhuang world is a restless world, and there is no soil for cultivation here. It is not only a problem of Pluto Iron, but more importantly, the atmosphere.
In this impetuous world that pursues speed and passion, cultivation methods that often require years or even decades of retreat are not very popular.
Without a strong background and full support, choosing to practice cultivation is simply asking for trouble.
Then Zhao Yuhang asked emphatically about the practice here, especially about the practice of the golden body path. There is also a crucial question: What is going on with the immortal golden body and the indestructible golden body?
Deng Feng also slowly explained:
The first is realm, which are basically the same. Corresponding to the level of cultivation:
First they were the Qi refining stage, the foundation building stage, and the golden elixir stage. Then there were differentiations. The golden body realms are: Yuan Dan realm (Yuan Ying), golden body realm (spiritual transformation), and then the immortal golden body/immortal body.
Bad golden body - equivalent to the Dharma phase level.
"The cultivation of the immortal golden body and the immortal golden body are not much different in the initial stage. The main thing is that after the Yuan Dan realm, the immortal golden body focuses on qi and blood, and the indestructible golden body focuses on the bones.
The immortal golden body is said to be able to be reborn with blood, but this is just a gimmick. However, the vitality is really powerful. Even if the head is cut off, as long as the head and body are re-merged within a certain period of time, it can grow back. But the specific time depends on how long it takes.
Not sure anymore, this is all a secret.
There is also the Indestructible Golden Body, which is claimed to be indestructible, but it has more gimmicks. But its defensive capabilities are indeed powerful. To destroy the defense of an indestructible Golden Body master, only a very few top-level weapons can do it.
But similarly, once the indestructible golden body is destroyed, recovery will be very slow. This slowness is relative to the indestructible golden body."
Zhao Yuhang thought for a moment and then asked: "Does the practice of the Golden Body Path require no pills or the like?"
"Of course it's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. The cultivation of the golden body path is more like the path of battle. We sublimate in the battle and make progress in the battle. I think this is also the keynote of the Xuanhuang world.
Only battles, fierce battles, and crises between life and death can activate the power deep in the soul and explode.
In addition, we also need spiritual stones. But compared with cultivators who cannot directly use spiritual stones, we can directly absorb the spiritual energy in spiritual stones. In this way, the efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of cultivators."
Zhao Yuhang's eyes flashed: The reason why cultivators cannot absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone to practice (it can be restored and used) is because the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is "dead".
Cultivators must ensure that the true energy in the body is active. Only in this way can they affect the spiritual energy of the outside world and release spells; they can resonate with magic weapons and form various attacks.
But if it is a cultivation method of the golden body path, it may be able to be absorbed directly.
In fact, the Japanese and Moon tribes who came out of Liuli Island and the Light Realm can also directly absorb spiritual stones.
However, such things no longer attract much attention from Zhao Yuhang.
Nowadays, cultivation in the earth-like world has begun to undergo qualitative changes and has embarked on an unknown path. With the emergence of Dharma, the realm of Yangshen, and the maturity of psychoanalytic methods, the advantages of cultivation have been magnified to the extreme.
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhao Yuhang continued to ask: "You just said that only a life-and-death battle can inspire the power deep in the soul. Can you explain this in more detail?"
Zhao Yuhang's eyes were already a little serious. From this sentence, he heard another 'truth'.
As a senior executive of Dayang Group, Zhao Yuhang is very aware of the Dharma. The reason why the Yang Shen pathway was opened is due to the psychoanalytic method disclosed by Dayang Group. But the core idea of psychoanalysis is: human beings are born with divinity.
Within the Dayang Group, there is a deeper analysis: spiritual power is born with two characteristics: materialism and idealism. It is born with the characteristics of contacting the extreme wall of matter, just like light and the wave-particle duality of light.
But just now, Deng Feng’s words seemed to have a similar meaning.
Fighting, only a battle of life and death can inspire the power deep in the soul. Based on the information left by advanced civilization, the Ocean Group has denied the existence of the soul, but has confirmed the existence of the spirit.
In other words, this method of practicing the golden body path seems to have a unique way to get in touch with the mystery in the dark and the extreme wall of matter! That's why the golden body realm can break through to the height of the Dharma -
This is the immortal golden body, or the indestructible golden body.
In fact, some of the characteristics of the immortal golden body and the indestructible golden body have obviously exceeded the three-dimensional attributes!
Deng Feng also felt Zhao Yuhang's attention. He said slowly: "I have experienced this. We have a saying that people are the darlings of heaven and earth, and everyone's potential is comparable to that of heaven and earth.
Cultivation, the practice of the golden body path, is to stimulate these potentials.
But if you want to stimulate these potentials, only the bravest and most fearless people can do it. And if you want to do this, the easiest and most accepted way is to fight.
Wandering on the edge of life and death, tempered in the furnace of blood and fire.
Live to die!
Only then can you live forever!”
"Live towards death?!" Zhao Yuhang was shocked by these four words. These four simple words explained the cultivation method of the golden body path.
Cultivation and golden body are two completely different and even opposite ways of cultivation.
Cultivation, emphasis on perception, emphasis on meditation. Golden Body, emphasis on fighting, emphasis on active cultivation!
Zhang Yuhang took a deep breath and felt that his understanding of the 'Tao' had gone a step further, and he began to faintly come into contact with the height of the Dharma.
Sure enough, stones from other mountains can attack jade!
Then Zhao Yuhang suddenly understood: why in the Earthly Elephant World, the golden body path has not developed, and has not made any progress at the early stage of divine transformation; and this early stage of divine transformation was achieved with the help of technology.
Because there is no such atmosphere of a fight to the death in the world of Kuodixiang. The battle of cultivators goes by quickly! We don’t pay attention to ‘living towards death’, but pay attention to ‘leaving green mountains without worrying about having no firewood’!
This ideological difference completely separates the paths of cultivation and golden body.
And with the four words "living towards death", the environment of Xuanhuang Zuzhou can be better explained. The atmosphere here is the atmosphere of the golden body path, and it is really not suitable for the existence of cultivation.
However, this is the past. Now, with the emergence of Dayang Group, the world will also change according to the will of Dayang Group.
But at the next moment, Zhao Yuhang's mind wandered again: Judging from the continents discovered so far, including the Dixiang World, the Zhulong Continent, and the Xuanhuang World, the Xuanhuang World should be the one with the most complete inheritance of traditional cultivation.
(The news from the Hetu World has not yet been sent back. Dugu Junjie and others are still sailing around the world. However, even in the Hetu World, breaking through the Dharma Level/Innate Level depends on chance and is not systematic.)
Not counting the influence of Dayang Group, the highest level of cultivation in the world of earth and elephant is the Dzogchen Stage of Divine Transformation.
Zhulongzhizhou is also in the stage of becoming a god, and has not yet reached the Great Consummation.
Only here in the Xuanhuang World, there are actually two Dharma-level pathways, or two branches of one pathway: the Immortal Golden Body and the Indestructible Golden Body.
However, with the influence of the Dayang Group, the earth-like world also has two complete Dharma-level pathways: Dharma-xiang and Yangshen.
Zhao Yuhang looked up and said something, then immediately pulled his thoughts back and asked: "May I ask...how old are you this year?"
"27!" Deng Feng proudly announced this number. At the age of 27, he has reached the late stage of golden life (late stage of divine transformation). This level of cultivation can definitely be regarded as a genius. Of course, there is a reason.
Zhao Yuhang listened and nodded: "Yes, you are one year older than me."
"..."
Damn it, there is no comparison between people. Not only is Zhao Yuhang's cultivation similar to his own, he also controls a huge fleet and begins to explore the oceans.
However, Deng Feng is not so easy to give up: "A 26-year-old cultivator in the transformation stage, is your practice so fast?"
"That's just Dayang Group. In other places, it can easily take a hundred years. But now, with the advancement of technology, increased communication, and more perfect techniques, this time is shrinking rapidly."
As he spoke, Zhao Yuhang glanced at Deng Feng with lightning eyes and frowned slightly: "It feels like your breath... is a little mixed. Do you seem to have the power to digest it in your body?"
Deng Feng's face suddenly darkened: "It was my father's power that was passed on to me before he died. He originally wanted to break through to the indestructible golden body through fierce battles, but ultimately failed."
He sighed and suddenly showed a slightly complicated smile: "The soul of a cultivator is really magical."
Zhao Yuhang smiled and said: "Cultivators are cultivating this soul. By the way, how are the techniques here passed down?"
"The techniques are all treasured by me. But if I lose the battle, they will naturally be taken away by my opponent. In addition, there will also be cases of mutual exchange.
There are also exercises for sale in some markets, but this kind of exercises that are sold publicly... It depends on the beholder. Some people say it is good, and some people say it is too cheating.
On the contrary, the skills at the auction will be good, but the price is very expensive, and only spiritual stones are accepted."
“Oh, what’s your monetary system here?”
"First of all, Black Iron. Golden Body Cultivation is a kind of martial arts practice. Materials related to practice, especially weapons, are inherently currencies.
Then there are the spiritual stones.
However, the specific situation is a bit confusing, because the purity of black iron and metal used in various weapons is different, the size of spiritual stones, the content of spiritual energy are also different, and the standards and units of various places are also different. When trading, it takes a long time to argue.
Unless it is a large trading venue, there are standards recognized by everyone.”
Zhao Yuhang nodded and understood that this was similar to the Kuodixiang world more than ten years ago or more than twenty years ago, or even slightly worse.
Then, Zhao Yuhang had a plan in mind: Dayang Group's first step here was to get a foothold, then establish a large trading market, promote standardization, and flex its muscles, and that's it.
In the past few days, one of the important reasons why the Ocean Group's fleet has been advancing slowly is that everyone has not yet determined how to open up the situation after landing.
Should we fight directly like we did when we first colonized the Zhulong Continent? Or should we just fight and get to know each other like we established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty? Or should we adopt a gentle approach, like we established diplomatic relations with the Red Lotus Sect (Tiandu Sect), and go through
Trading a little bit to build connections?
Although there was discussion before departure, that discussion can only be used as a reference. Utopia without reference is difficult to meet the actual situation.
Now, I have a good idea.
Zhao Yuhang then asked a lot more questions and determined the items that could be traded here: materials, elixirs, mechanical parts and even components. Of course, cultivators' magic weapons, especially storage rings, were all good commodities.
There are also storage rings in this world, but they are expensive.
However, there is one last point that remains unclear: the purchasing power of spiritual stones! This can only be investigated after logging in.
At the end of this conversation, Zhao Yuhang gave Deng Feng a can of spiritual tea. Finally, when sending Deng Feng to the door, Zhao Yuhang suddenly asked: "City Lord Deng, I don't know your skills, are you willing to sell them?"
