I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Chen Lin didn't know that he was being shot, but he was in a good mood at the moment.

Because after he arrived outside Danding City, he found that just as Qian Li said, countless monks had gathered here. Looking at the simple buildings one after another, they even reached the other side of the Jinshui River.

This situation was exactly what he needed, so he set up a simple shelter farther away and began to inquire for information.

After some inquiring, Chen Lin knew what he was talking about.

The news is mixed.

The good thing is that unless they are designated for recruitment, the alliance no longer requires all monks to be included in the combat team. The main reason is that there are too many people, and many sects have friction with each other, which is difficult to manage.

Now it has been changed to a reward system, and everything is based on merit.

The levels are divided according to the upper limit of merit. Starting from the first level, every additional thousand merit points will increase the level. There is no upper limit.

Merits can still be exchanged for materials, and what is linked to the level is the total number of merits obtained, not the balance.

Whether it is applying for a residence in the city, exchanging resources, recruiting subordinates, etc., the higher the level, the higher the priority.

These are all secondary. The alliance also announced that once the war becomes irreversible, the level of merit will be used as the standard when retreating, and monks with higher levels will be given priority to be protected.

This is a chokehold, forcing all the monks to work honestly for the alliance.

Now that the God of Prayer Sect has occupied Wudinghai, the alliance monks have become trapped animals in a cage. Without the leadership and protection of a strong person, it will be difficult to break out on their own.

If you want to save your life, you have to fight tooth and nail first. It seems contradictory, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Chen Lin was thinking when a powerful wave suddenly swept through the room. He subconsciously wanted to use his skills to resist, but he immediately thought of something and ignored it.

This is a routine monitoring of the Alliance Monitoring Magical Instrument, which only detects the evil spirit to prevent people from the Prayer Cult from hiding among the monks on the periphery. It is said that they appear from time to time every day.

The residence of monks outside the city is also demarcated, and they are not allowed to exceed the monitoring range, otherwise they will be punished.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, there will be a small exchange meeting soon. Do you want to participate?"

Chen Lin was about to take out the drawings of the Mo Yin Spirit Boat and continue studying it when he suddenly heard a rough voice coming from outside.

This is his neighbor, a ninth-level Qi practitioner.

The other party came to him because he had now concealed his cultivation in the realm of Qi Lian Dzogchen and took the pseudonym Ye Fan.

Chen Lin walked out of the room and saw that in addition to his neighbor Zhang Qingfeng, there were two familiar faces, an old man and a middle-aged man, both of whom were monks living nearby.

"Haha, you guys haven't gone out to join the demon hunting team these two days. Why are you so free?"

"Oh, don't mention it!" The old man sighed: "Wu Gui and I just returned from joining the demon hunting team and almost lost our lives. Moreover, the mission has not been completed yet, so we went out in vain."

The middle-aged man also looked helpless and said: "Recently, the evil spirits of the divine religion have appeared more and more frequently, and their strength has become stronger and stronger. I don't plan to go out during this period. I will see if I can get the Foundation Establishment Pill. Let’s try to build the foundation first, this fucking world has no way for Qi Practitioners to survive!”

The other two people agreed with his words, and Chen Lin also nodded, but he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Qi-training monks looked at the scenery of foundation-building monks, but they didn't know that foundation-building monks were also difficult!

"Why, have you two saved enough merit to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chen Lin has countless foundation-building pills, but unfortunately he can't blatantly sell them to others.

He is just an ordinary qi-training monk now, not the alchemist of the Alchemy Pavilion, and the other party may not have treasures of equal value in exchange.

Hearing Chen Lin's inquiry, Wu Gui felt bitter and said, "It's even more disturbing when I talk about this matter. In the past, when the alliance had enough foundation building pills, I didn't have any merit. When I worked hard to get enough merit, The Alliance has no more foundation-building pills!"

Chen Lin wondered: "Why, why is there still a shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills? Hasn't the Alliance been ensuring the reserve of Foundation Establishment Pills? Is there something wrong with the Dan Pavilion?"

At this time, neighbor Zhang Qingfeng said: "Young Daoist Ye, you just came here and you don't know. Not only the foundation building pills, but also the reserves of all kinds of pills are basically empty."

He shook his head, "It's not that the Dan Pavilion has problems, it's that there are no raw materials. The alliance has been doing nothing in recent years. Although a large number of foundation-building monks have been piled up, they have basically used up all the materials and treasures. Even the Dan Pavilion's alchemy masters have been exhausted." No matter how high the means, it will be in vain without materials.”

The old man agreed: "Yes, not only elixirs, but also other types of treasures are similar. Even if there are some stocks, priority should be given to monks with high merit levels. For those of us who want grades but no grades, and no background, don't even think about it. Might as well try your luck at the swap meet.”

Chen Lin suddenly realized what they said.

He ignored the problem.

The resources of the Immortal Cultivation World are limited. In order to quickly cultivate combat power in the past few years, the alliance has been fishing in the lake. Now the shortcomings have emerged. Even if the Alliance finally defeats the Qi Shen Sect, it will take hundreds of years for the vitality of the Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation World to recover.

This situation made Chen Lin feel happy and worried.

Resources are scarce, so the things he has on him can be sold at a good price, especially the Foundation Establishment Pills, which he has too many reserves.

But as a result, it will become difficult for him to collect the materials to refine the Black Ink Spirit Boat.

He also sighed and looked extremely disappointed.

Now that I have assumed this identity, I still have to act.

A monk who is stuck in the Great Perfection of Qi training has worked hard to come to the three main cities, but there is no foundation-building pill here. You can imagine the despair.

Sure enough, his expression was immediately highly recognized by the three neighbors, who all looked at him with much friendlier eyes.

With such a gloomy atmosphere, Chen Lin and the three of them came to the bank of the Jinshui River. A large ship parked here, and the exchange meeting Zhang Qingfeng mentioned was held on the ship.

The alliance's reserve resources are short, and private exchange meetings outside the city are frequent, and the alliance does not care. He has participated in several games before, but without much gain.

As soon as he arrived at the side of the boat, Chen Lin's expression changed and he looked at a ray of light flying in the distance.

The light escaped in an instant, and an old woman with wrinkles on her face landed on the ground. She ignored Chen Lin and others and walked directly onto the ship.

After the other party disappeared, Chen Lin said in surprise: "Why, there are foundation-building monks participating in this exchange meeting?"

Although the old woman just now was old and ugly, the fluctuations she exuded were truly in her foundation-building period.

Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said: "When I received the invitation message, the other party did say that there might be foundation-building monks appearing, but don't worry, the organizer is from Yunhai, and they often hold exchange meetings on this ship recently, which is very famous."

"People from Yunhai?"

Chen Lin made a sound in surprise.

He also participated in a secret trade fair when he was on Xiaoqiu Island, and the organizer was a person from Yunhai.

Could they be the same person?

Seeing that Chen Lin seemed to still have doubts, Zhang Qingfeng continued: "Don't worry, this Yunhai has a good reputation among the people, and only with the participation of foundation-building monks, the foundation-building pill is easy to appear. Even if the Qi-training monks have it, they can't exchange it. "

Chen Lin nodded.

What the other party said made sense, and even if it was really the Yunhai person, it wouldn't matter. There was no grudge between the two.

After paying 30 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones, several people boarded the ship. Even Chen Lin thought the price was expensive, and Zhang Qingfeng and the other three were grinning.

But this also meant that the exchange meeting was of a higher level, and Chen Lin couldn't help but look forward to it.
