Chapter 2137 Troubled Times Appear
In fact, Wen Rensheng built a nest in the mountains.
Live in a cave.
He watched a lot about survival in the wild.
And when I went into the mountains, I brought enough salt, detoxifying herbs, and fire-making tools...
In addition, he has internal energy and external strength, and his survivability is very strong.
At least the Serpent Plague can't do anything to him easily.
His immunity and resistance have reached a level where he is almost immune to all diseases.
After all, the body is always in the state of an 18-year-old, and most people are not sick at the age of 18.
After taking care of his daily needs, he has been practicing martial arts hard.
This cultivation is this cultivation, even after 100 years have passed.
Look, this is the real Goudao.
It takes 100 years to practice the inner energy martial arts.
Finally, I stopped repairing it.
It’s not that he stopped drinking.
Rather, he has perfected his internal and external martial arts to the point where it is impossible to practice them.
The inner Qi of the body has reached its peak, and it will not increase no matter how hard I cultivate.
Within a hundred years of anger, we can’t go any further.
The big lobster also grew bigger and bigger, already half his body.
Soak in the water in a rock pit in the cave.
The lobster doesn't seem to grow anymore, but every molt is very difficult.
Wen Rensheng used his inner energy to remove the skin.
Then the big lobster can live for another ten years.
The lobster has now turned into a large green shrimp.
Ecdysis can last for ten years at a time.
And this big lobster seems to be learning his inner energy.
Wen Rensheng once saw a prawn and crushed a large stone with his pair of pliers.
This guy must have become a monster.
Now Wen Rensheng is also a master with a hundred years of inner strength.
It can be said that he has extraordinary power again.
It took a total of two hundred years.
He can jump seven to eight meters away and four to five meters high, and then use his palm to break wood and crack stones...
Wait a minute, hundreds of people can't surround him.
Now I can travel alone.
But be careful not to run into immortals.
He believes that martial arts alone has reached the limit of human beings.
It is impossible to go further without using external spiritual energy to practice.
Do you want to become a disciple?
Forget it.
Wen Rensheng is still worried that someone will see through him.
Then the next step is to find a way to get a book of immortal skills and find a way to practice and get started.
It's just different from Nei Qi, which is at a low level after all. Even so, he still spent fifteen years in order to be safe, which included asking for guidance, patiently figuring out, and running it steadily bit by bit.
It took fifteen years to get started, and more than a hundred years to practice to the top.
This is all because the third senior brother said that you should be careful when cultivating internal energy, as it will affect the internal organs.
As the level of immortality is higher, you have to be more careful.
It obviously won’t work without anyone’s guidance.
If you get a book of magic by yourself, if you make some mistakes in your understanding, you will be doomed.
So it is best to enter a fairy sect and have experienced predecessors to give patient guidance.
It is best to give guidance carefully.
He thought for a while and decided to find a casual cultivator to become his disciple.
Still can't worship into the Immortal Sect.
After all, it is very possible that the crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the immortal sect has discovered his secret.
Relatively speaking, if you are an old casual cultivator who is only one or two levels of Qi refining, you have experience in practicing immortality and do not pose a threat.
I can even deal with the opponent with a hundred years of internal strength.
Of course, old casual cultivators may also be in danger.
As they approach death, they can resort to any means.
But Wen Rensheng believed that he could settle it.
The biggest threat to the elderly casual cultivators is that in order to avoid death, they will think of various means to survive.
No matter how good a person is, he will become unreliable in the face of death.
Wen Rensheng thought for a while and decided to find some middle-aged casual cultivators with cultivation levels below the second level.
At best, they still have seventy or eighty years to live.
In any case, you will not go to a dead end and perish together with yourself.
As long as you pay a certain price, you can reach a compromise with the other party, and it is still very possible to learn their skills.
They themselves cannot improve, but they have unlimited time and can grind it out.
If that doesn’t work, I’ll train a group of disciples myself to do cultivation experiments.
Analyze and cultivate immortality in absolute safety.
With two levels of cultivation, even if you discover your own secret, you can still kill the opponent.
Thinking of this, Wen Rensheng decided to start asking around.
So, he decided to set out, targeting middle-aged casual cultivators with immortal skills and second-level cultivation.
Age should be around 50.
He has not been around for so many years in vain.
In addition to practicing in the mountains, whenever it is time to replenish supplies, I will also go down the mountain to inquire.
The first few levels of cultivation are the four realms of Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying.
By the time he reaches Nascent Soul, he is already very powerful.
The key is that there are various ways to extend life.
The physical body will decay irretrievably after 3,000 years.
But the Nascent Soul can also be replaced by a suitable physical body, which can be said to be a body-taking.
This kind of seizing a body is much safer and more reliable than simply relying on the soul to seize a body.
After all, one’s soul is protected by the Nascent Soul, which can easily crush the opponent’s resistance.
It is also able to resist the corrosion and mental pollution of the new body.
It has to do with fit.
The better the fit, the less corrosion contamination.
Of course, no matter how good the relationship is, there will be losses.
Generally, after taking possession of a body three times at most, the life span is 9,000 years.
Even if it can be extended, there will be a great catastrophe between heaven and earth in ten thousand years.
No matter how hard you try, this soul can't escape.
If you don’t ascend, you will only be reincarnated, and your soul will completely die.
In order to avoid the disaster.
From this perspective, Yuanying is basically the pinnacle of this world.
When Wen Rensheng heard about this, he felt that the world was kinder to immortal cultivators.
Many of the novels he had read in his previous life only lived for 1,000 years, and things like seizing a body were even more unreliable.
Only those who become gods can live for 3,000 to 5,000 years. If you want to ascend and reach the period of transcending tribulation, you still have to go through several levels.
After Wenren came down the mountain, he heard about a big event.
That was the civil unrest in the nearby dynasty under the rule of Qingyunmen.
The reason is also very simple, it is land annexation.
The common people have no way to survive. Even if they are afraid of gods, they still want to eat the rich and become thieves.
In fact, according to Wen Rensheng, the way for ordinary people to survive is very simple, which is to develop more market economy, invigorate the economy more, and give ordinary people a place to work.
Be able to produce enough consumer goods, allowing those who own land to take out the food and put it into the market, circulate it, and exchange it for other consumer goods.
What a pity, these big feudal landowners, how can they have such vision?
No one has it for thousands of years.
No wonder they are ridiculed and despised by outsiders, history is repeated.
Their only idea is to hoard more land and more cultivation materials, and then seek cultivation, pray for immortality, and expand their family.
They have used a lot of power in this regard, and the entire world is not like Wen Rensheng's previous life. There is no Western sea trade to communicate, and it has come to a standstill.
Agricultural technology is just that, industry is still handicraft industry, there are some small innovations, but they cannot spread.
Basically there is no progress.
Some people worked hard to come up with some inventions, but they were quickly snatched away by these feudal families.
You can't keep the benefits of your invention at all. In this situation, it has been going back and forth for tens of thousands of years.
Under the rule of the immortals, the people became more closed.
However, Wen Rensheng did find out some information, that is, communication among the Immortal Sect was quite frequent.
It's simple, because the greatest purpose of immortals is to pursue immortality.
In order to pursue immortality, if you can’t study it by yourself or build it behind closed doors, you will definitely find a way to ask others.
It’s like traveling to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures.
That is a mortal body that travels tens of thousands of miles to travel and learn from scriptures.
This is motivation.
Moreover, those are still scriptures that can only satisfy spiritual needs, while cultivation has real practical power and lifespan benefits.
Not to mention tens of thousands of miles, millions of miles, they have to pursue it.
Whether it is resources or scriptures, those Nascent Soul Stage monks all run far and fast.
It can be said that they have gained a lot from external exchanges.
It’s just that they are them.
They won't promote these things to ordinary people.
In their eyes, ordinary people are just the source of disciples and immortal workers.
Wen Rensheng was walking on the road.
The weather is blazing all around.
The surrounding area is very dry.
The bark is long gone.
There are many beasts, venomous snakes, and monsters in the mountains, so it is not accessible to ordinary people.
However, under the threat of drought, the areas near the mountains and forests are also being eaten clean.
Some people still want to go deep into the mountains, but more people are unable to cross the mountains.
Wen Rensheng thought that if the immortals were willing to improve people's livelihood and use the technologies they exchanged, they could greatly increase the savings rate of this population.
Just like in the previous life, the population started with only 50 million people. Although the land did not change, with the improvement of farming technology and improved varieties, it finally grew to 400 million.
This suddenly increased by 8 times.
The chance of becoming an outstanding disciple can also be increased eight times.
Then the fairy workers who work for them can also be increased by 8 times.
But Wen Rensheng would not tell the Xianmen about these truths.
It seems that the cake has been enlarged, but who will get it after the cake is enlarged?
Someone will come to rob him. If he is in this vortex, the danger will be very great.
So Wen Rensheng would not do such a thing before he had the strength to protect himself.
Anyway, he has reached the end.
His purpose is to live well, improve his strength, and improve his strength.
He continued walking on the road.
After walking for a long time, I encountered bandits 43 times.
He didn't fight this man, he simply ran away.
When the robbers saw his speed, they were very happy, thinking that he was an immortal.
Subsequently, Wen Rensheng came to a city.
He found the city to be quite depressed.
After asking around, it turned out that they had just been besieged by bandits.
Several wealthy families sent out masters of internal energy, external energy, and an immortal cultivator to kill all the refugees.
But without the people, the city will naturally become depressed.
No one collects the excrement in the city, and no one sells the vegetables.
The refugees who had no food to eat in the city began to move outside the city, trying to occupy the land and houses outside.
This means that the neighborhood can be stable for a while.
After Wen Rensheng entered the city, he asked someone in a tavern.
“Do you provide disaster relief here?”
The man said: “The imperial court provided disaster relief and allocated thousands of bags of grain, but there were hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster. Enough to eat?”
Wen Rensheng shook his head.
This court is now in a period of dynastic sluggishness, and it will do as little as possible.
Thousands of bags of grain are enough to feed tens of thousands of people for several days.
Actually, it’s not bad.
But the question is, can it be distributed to the victims?
Even if the food is rotten, the wealthy families still can't wait to grab the most benefits.
Just like someone has a ***, they still have to have ***.
He asked in a low voice again: "Isn't the Qingyun Sect's territory nearby?"
"I dare not say this, I know what brother means." The man immediately lowered his voice. .
Wen Rensheng gave him a silver dime, which was about three cents.
Giving dozens of taels to others at every turn is something only people who don't make money can do.
For example, guys like Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
"Well, no one was sent to take care of it. An immortal came to see it and didn't care. He just said that he would stop accepting disciples for the past twenty years."
Hearing this, I heard that If Rensheng combines his previous observations and guesses, he will understand everything.
Simply, this means that there are not many jobs for fairies.
If there were many jobs in Xianmen, they wouldn't do this.
If they want to recruit qualified disciples, they will not let them be wasted casually.
Wen Rensheng realized that the supply of labor in Xianmen’s ecological environment actually exceeded demand.
He knew that when an immortal sect recruits disciples, they usually grow elixirs, open spiritual mines, and raise spiritual birds and beasts...
It is said to be a cultivator, but in the final analysis it is still a small farmer. economy.
Their demand for labor is very small and cannot be expanded.
That’s why disciples with poor qualifications will die after a few years.
Only those disciples with very good qualifications, such as those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Double Spiritual Roots, can cultivate faster and can quickly enter a stage with higher input and output.
Only these disciples will be taken seriously.
Wen Rensheng was able to deduce many of the inside stories of the Immortal Sect through this peasant uprising.
And he thinks it must be true because it makes logical sense.
This is to analyze the world of immortality through underlying economics.
Then Wen Rensheng thought for a while:
Is it possible to use industrialization to cultivate immortality?
Can the production of immortal resources enter the era of industrialization?
Wen Rensheng thought carefully.
The prerequisite for industrialization is a large amount of demand.
Is there demand now?
The demand is definitely there.
It can be said that everyone wants to cultivate immortality and everyone needs resources to cultivate immortality.
The most important thing in the production of immortality resources is elixirs, especially longevity medicines.
They definitely hope to be able to supply it in large quantities.
Other things are not absolutely necessary.
And elixirs are absolutely necessary.
Here comes the problem.
Is it easy to achieve industrialized production of elixirs?
It’s not easy.
Because the production of elixirs must first rely on skilled mid-to-high-level alchemists.
Wen Rensheng knew this.
And this kind of alchemist itself is in short supply.
In addition, growing elixirs also requires a harsh environment and a long time.
This means that there are very few places to provide raw materials.
How can we industrialize when there are few qualified labor force and production raw materials?
Textile industrialization means the emergence of a large number of labor forces and the emergence of raw materials relying on the production of wool. In addition, the colonies provide a large demand for clothes.
The colonial points conquered everywhere solved the supply of food, but they also needed clothes.
This led to the industrial revolution in the textile industry.
But how did alchemy revolutionize the industry?
The demand is there and it is unlimited.
You can sell as many as you want.
As long as it’s not too expensive.
But if the raw materials cannot be solved, how can we expand the production of the elixir?
How does the alchemist use machinery instead?
Wen Rensheng shook his head.
If industrialization cannot occur, then too much labor will not be needed, which will lead to the current results.
The Immortal Sect doesn’t care much about the deaths and injuries of mortals.
Intervention will only occur if the patient is about to die.
