In my previous life, the development of human civilization was only a few thousand years, and there was no obstacle to global communication. In this life, the civilization of cultivation has been developing continuously for tens of thousands of years, and there is naturally no obstacle to long-distance communication.
The reason why I say that the world in this life is a bit like the ancient times in my previous life is because of the evaluation of cultural temperament rather than the evaluation of the degree of civilization development.
The world in my previous life was too fast-paced, with endless disputes, fear of falling behind, fear of losing money, all indicators were interests, interests and interests.Money-like interests, power-like interests, and fame-like interests.
All the agitation slogans are inseparable from 'Show yourself and let others see your excellence'.Whether I am good or not is none of other people's business. Could it be that the meaning of my life is to be seen by others?
In a word, annoying.
This is not the case in the world of cultivators in this life. It may be because everyone has a long life span, so the whole world of cultivators is full of a soothing smell.Including the so-called qi training period and the foundation building period of the so-called race against time, it is roughly equivalent to the tension of a freshman and a sophomore. Delicious food, telling horror stories, fighting wits with the elders...
It is not an exaggeration to describe the entire cultivation world as a big ivory tower.Its rules are very simple from a certain point of view, that is, cultivation.As long as the cultivation base is up, everything else is fine.Although there are intrigues, but this kind of behavior itself hinders the cultivation base, so it can't be successful, so the cultivation world is really quite simple.
You can be long-sleeved and good at dancing and make friends all over the world, or you can form a small circle and only have deep friends with three or five people. It doesn't matter even if you are autistic and don't see anyone.The world of comprehension tolerates differences, and it does not emphasize how important interpersonal relationships are. Naturally, interpersonal relationships are still important, but they are not the only ones, and it is not that without it, it is impossible to move forward.
The dead nerds with communication barriers also have the same broad living space, because traveling all over the world is a kind of practice, and it is also a kind of practice to study a little bit in a square inch.An optimistic and positive attitude can survive in danger, and pessimistic and negative emotions can also make a difference.There is no right or wrong, no good or bad, just different choices, just different paths.Choose your own path, and then go on firmly, and one day you will be able to touch your own way.
What you want is to let a hundred flowers bloom and not stick to one pattern.

Postal magic tools are one of the necessary magic tools in the cultivation world, and are equally popular with communication magic tools, game magic tools, video magic tools, and so on.It is equivalent to mobile phones, game consoles, and TVs in the previous life...
The basic energy source in the realm of comprehension is aura, and its scope of use is even wider than that of electricity in the previous life.
There are also many sources of spiritual energy.
Can be extracted directly from the environment.Theoretically, there is no aura everywhere in the whole world, just the difference in amount. This is the slowest extraction method, but it is also the most economical extraction method, even ordinary people can use it every day.
It can also be extracted from spirit stones.According to the amount and purity of spiritual energy contained in them, spirit stones are divided into high-grade spirit stones, intermediate spirit stones, and primary spirit stones, also known as top-grade spirit stones, middle-grade spirit stones, and low-grade spirit stones.In addition, there are spirit beads with lower aura content.
When using a spirit stone, you can use a special instrument to extract the aura from it and input it into the instrument to be driven. If you are a monk, you can also use yourself as the conversion intermediary, absorb the aura from the spirit stone with one hand, and input the aura with the other. into the instrument.
Lingshi is also a common currency in the cultivation world.For mortals, consuming spirit stones to use magical artifacts is a relatively extravagant thing.Because mortals do not have the means to obtain spirit stones directly, all the veins of spirit stones are in the hands of monks—even if the veins of spirit stones are discovered by mortals first, they will eventually fall into the hands of monks, and mortals cannot keep them.
Mortals can only exchange with materials from the mortal world, but Lingshi is very expensive in the mortal world.It's not that monks deliberately bully mortals, it's just that spirit stones have a greater effect on monks. Mortals use spirit stones just for enjoyment, but spirit stones in the hands of monks are not only important resources in the process of cultivation, but can often save lives .
In fact, not to mention mortals, monks in the qi training period, foundation building period, including the golden core period also have to plan carefully when using spirit stones to maintain a balance between cultivation and life.
There is also a method unique to monks to use magic weapons, which is to use their own spiritual power to drive them.This is also the favorite method used by monks.Anyway, the daily spiritual power has to be consumed a lot to achieve the purpose of training and progress. Swinging the sword [-] times is consumption, refining alchemy furnaces is consumption, and refining weapons is consumption, and it is used to drive communication talismans and help people deliver items. , Carrying heavy objects... It's also a waste.You can also earn some extra money by the way for the consumption of daily life, which kills two birds with one stone, which is very good.
The mission office of Yunxiazong uses red enlarged fonts as a friendly reminder: Please pay attention to the improvement of professional skills while practicing spiritual power.When accepting tasks, don't just look at the rewards and difficulty, but also pay attention to the major.
You f*cking swordsman can carry heavy objects quickly and ruthlessly, but even the basic posture of holding a sword is wrong. Do you want to change careers?If you want to change careers, you have to do it early.
0025_ Lingshi
Lingshi is a very interesting mineral.
First of all, unless the spiritual energy inside is exhausted, it cannot be cut at will. When mining a spiritual stone mine, a flat belt of spiritual stones at first glance is actually made up of spiritual stones one by one. Natural ones do not need to be processed. Whatever shape it comes out of, it will remain in that shape when it circulates.
——It may be processed and cut in a way that exhausts the spiritual energy, but this practice is not encouraged in the cultivation world, because the quality of the spiritual stone will be reduced after cutting, and its durability will also be greatly reduced.In many transactions, the seller does not accept processed spirit stones.
Secondly, you can extract the aura from the spirit stone, or add aura to the spirit stone.The division of spirit stones into high, middle and low levels is the definition of the amount of spirit energy contained in the spirit stones when they are first mined, and it is also the definition of the upper limit of the spirit energy that these spirit stones can hold.And more of the latter.Because the spirit stones will be consumed as much as they are passed, except when they are just mined, the spirit stones in the circulation process are often not full of spirit energy.
High-level spirit stones can not only store more spiritual energy, but also can withstand more charging and discharging times. If low-level spirit stones are used improperly, they will be broken hundreds or even dozens of times, while high-level spirit stones can at least withstand several times. Thousands of charging and discharging.But the final belonging is broken.
Broken spirit stones are also useful. First, they can be used as decorations. The spirit stones are beautiful, crystal clear and have a sense of vitality.The second and more important thing is that it can make spirit beads.Thoroughly crush the broken spirit stones, and process them into oval beads by certain means. This kind of artificial beads can store a small amount of spirit energy, and are widely used in some daily life instruments.
Although the aura stored in the Lingzhu will dissipate naturally, and it will be useless after a year or two, but for toys, alarm clocks, lighting equipment, etc., this natural dissipation is just enough to supply energy.The key is that the cost of Lingzhu is very low, and the aura filled in it is the aura extracted from the environment that is filled with spirit stones because of the small amount.It is waste utilization.
The number of spirit energy charges that Lingzhu can bear is worse than that of low-level spirit stones, but it doesn't matter, if it is broken, it can be recycled and rebuilt. Although the spirit stone fragments will become less and less during the repeated rebuilding process, this loss is compared to the low-level spirit stones. The production of spirit stones from the spirit stone veins is much slower, so after tens of thousands of years, the spirit stones in the cultivation world are still abundant.

Although most of the time I don't know where my twin brothers and sisters are - I can only know what tasks they have taken, but where should these tasks be completed, except for collection, exploration and other tasks with their own location marks In addition, it is generally difficult to know the place from a few words-but this does not affect the closeness between us.
Thanks to the well-developed postal methods in the cultivation world, the two of them can send me special products at any time wherever they go.There is everything to eat, drink and do, the only problem is that the value of those gadgets is often not enough for the postage.
——You guys pack a package and send it, don’t send it once for a fried dough stick, a bowl of soy milk, and a plate of peanuts, okay?Every time I count the spiritual power you waste, I feel distressed.Although spiritual power is self-generated and inexhaustible, instead of wasting it on sending items, you might as well fill me with a few spiritual stones.
"The spiritual power spent in a year is enough to charge a few low-level spiritual stones, what are you doing?" My brother shook his head at my stinginess.
As for, I'm not quite used to being a rich second generation, so please don't waste it in front of me.
There is a complete set of instruments for passing items. A set usually has two, three, five, etc. specifications, and generally no more than nine.Compared with the magical instruments with arbitrarily set transfer destinations, this kind of set transfer magical instruments consumes less and is more stable in transferring items between each other, and can even transfer items outward in some secret realms separated by time and space.Especially the one with a set of two, and then lock the function of setting the destination, so that they can only be passed to each other, which will be used in many secret explorations.
I have a set of two teleportation instruments in my hand, and there are two, which belong to two sets respectively. The other of the two sets is in the hands of the twins, and it is specially used to give me small gifts.
If you ask me, it's a waste. There are only four people in the family. Isn't it good for us to use a set of four?Did you know that sets of two are not only extra expensive, but are often used by couples?The special ones for human secret realms are specially designed, which are different from the general-purpose ones we use.Oh, I also have a set of four, but the twins basically don’t use it, as if there is no need for communication between the two of them, even if there are occasional emergencies that have to be passed on, they will pass it to me first and then let me pass it on...
Are you both annoying!
"It's not something you're used to." My father said, "Before you were born, they exchanged items when they were supposed to exchange items, but they didn't come to let me pass them through. Who made you complain every time, but every time Turned in time."
Is it my fault?I reflect.
