Chapter 548: The Inside Story of the Spiritual Transformation Pond
Chemical pool.
Also known as Hualing Pond.
The Soul Transformation Pond that Chu Ning went to, also known as the Seventh Soul Transformation Pond, was the seventh Soul Transformation Pond built by the Cangtian Realm.
One day's journey away from the Spirit Transformation Pond, Chu Ning saw many cultivators below, and he could tell that most of these cultivators came from other small worlds.
After Sima Li introduced some information about the Cang Tian Realm, Chu Ning also knew how to distinguish between the cultivators of the Cang Tian Realm and those of the small world.
The cultivators coming from the small world will have a somewhat chaotic aura, but the cultivators from the Heavenly World will not have that.
Only after the cultivators from the small world have been soaked in the special spiritual liquid of the Spirit Transformation Pool and the impurities on their bodies have been washed away, will they be accepted by the Heavenly Realm.
Otherwise, it would be several times more difficult for cultivators from the small world to break through to the Cang Tian Realm than for cultivators from the Cang Tian Realm.
Chu Ning did not go directly to the Spirit Transformation Pool, but followed the cultivators from these small worlds and arrived at a resting place in the evening.
Foreign market.
Chu Ning landed on the ground and saw the name of this market town. The corner of his mouth twitched. This market town was really quite descriptive. All the people who came here were cultivators from the small world and could indeed be considered outsiders.
"Which small world does this fellow Taoist come from?"
As soon as Chu Ning stepped into the market, a middle-aged man came to greet him with a smile. Chu Ning took a glance and found that the other party was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the realm he showed to the outside world was also the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
This realm will not be too conspicuous.
Chu Ning smiled and didn't answer.
"Don't misunderstand, fellow Daoist. The reason I asked this rashly is because there are many seniors from small worlds here. If there are seniors from the small world where you are, you can get their care."
"The hometown club?"
Chu Ning inexplicably thought of the past when college students went to study in other places. After entering the school, seniors from the same place would find them.
If the seniors they meet are responsible, they can indeed help them quickly familiarize themselves with and understand the new campus environment, and may even give them some pointers on some award selection matters.
But if you meet irresponsible people, the so-called fellow students and seniors are the biggest scams. There are also some who use the names of fellow students to cheat freshmen out of spending.
"Huaxia."
Chu Ning pondered for a moment and blurted out a name.
"Huaxia?"
The middle-aged man thought for a few breaths and shook his head: "I have never heard of Huaxia's name. It is possible that he is in another Spiritual Transformation Pond. Fellow Daoist, don't be discouraged."
Chu Ning certainly wouldn't be discouraged.
He would say this name just casually. If it is there, it would be a surprise, but if it is not there, it would be normal.
After a while, the middle-aged man left in a hurry because of other things, leaving Chu Ning standing alone on the street.
"Don't wait. That person won't come back. You have no value in his eyes."
At the corner of the street, a woman walked out. Her skin was as white as snow and her appearance was needless to say. The most important thing was that her every frown and smile was full of charm as she walked.
Chu Ning looked at the woman, who was in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
"Here I have an introduction to the Spiritual Transformation Pond. It only costs ten Spiritual Coins."
The woman took out a jade slip. Chu Ning felt a little embarrassed because he really didn't have any spirit coins on him.
Spirit coins are the universal currency of the Cangtian Realm. Similar to spirit crystals, they are both condensed from extremely pure spiritual energy.
Chu Ning learned from Sima Li that the currency of the small world can also be refined into spirit coins, but the prerequisite is that Chu Ning must first remove the spiritual impurities in his body before he can refine the spirit coins.
Seeing Chu Ning's silence, the woman seemed to have guessed something and said with a smile: "If you don't have spirit coins for the time being, it's okay. You can give it to me when you earn spirit coins in the future."
"Thank you very much, I will give you spiritual coins in the future."
Chu Ning took the jade slip. He knew very well that the cost of this kind of jade slip was very low, just like a map. Every time one was sold, he would make pure profit in spirit coins.
"You might as well read the contents first."
Lan Yingying reminded him, and Chu Ning put his consciousness into the jade slip. After more than ten breaths, he understood why Lan Yingying asked him to finish reading the contents of the jade slip first.
The information here is really useful.
First of all, there are introductions to some of the more famous small worlds in the jade slips. The cultivators from these small worlds will be taken care of when they enter the Spirit Transformation Pond, but if they are not cultivators from these small worlds, they must prepare spirit coins to enter the Spirit Transformation Pond.
The Soul Transformation Pond can remove impurities from the spiritual energy of the cultivators in the small world and perfectly match it with the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Cangtian Realm. However, the Soul Transformation Pond is not free, or to be more precise, it is not always free.
Every cultivator in a small world has the benefit of soaking in the Soul Transformation Pool for free for seven days. After seven days, no matter whether the impurities in the body have been completely eliminated or not, they have to leave the Soul Transformation Pool. If they want to enter again, they have to pay spirit coins, and the price is extremely high, one hundred spirit coins a day.
Under normal circumstances, it is sufficient for a Nascent Soul cultivator to stay in the Spirit Transformation Pool for seven days, but that refers to several larger main pools.
If you are assigned to a side pool, seven days will not be enough.
As for which Spirit Transformation Pool you will be assigned to, it will be arranged by the people in the Spirit Transformation Hall. As for how to be assigned to the main pool, there are only two ways.
The first is that there are many cultivators from small worlds appearing in this Spirit Transformation Pool. Because some people have already dealt with them before, and there are even people from these small worlds working in this Spirit Transformation Hall, so they will naturally be taken care of.
The middle-aged man who had stopped Chu Ning and asked about his background earlier made money from this kind of spiritual coins.
If the visitor is from one of the twenty small worlds mentioned in the jade slip, he will guarantee that he can arrange for him to be the host. In fact, he does not need to use any connections at all. He can just make money from it.
This reminded Chu Ning of a very famous scam in his previous life, which was to distribute flyers outside some examination halls with advertisements for short-term sprint training. The characteristic of the flyers was that they would state that if the students failed the training, they would get a refund.
This type of training courses will indeed refund fees because they don't have much cost at all and they just give new exam questions from previous years to the people who register.
They just cast a wide net and earn a huge sum of money from candidates who have passed the exam.
The offer of a full refund if you fail the exam will tempt many candidates. If they pass, they are willing to spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, since they can get a full refund anyway if they fail.
Some are even more outrageous, providing the so-called top-secret test papers for free, and only charging if you pass. However, the fact that they do not charge is even more attractive to candidates.
These scammers spend the money to print the test papers, and as long as there is one candidate who passes, they make a profit.
The man before was similar to these scam training classes. He also promised to wash away the impurities on the body. If he couldn't do it, he would charge no fee. After washing, he would charge one thousand spirit coins.
"Many cultivators who had just arrived from the small world were fooled by this and wasted a lot of money in vain. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need a hundred years to earn one thousand spirit coins."
Chu Ning heard Lan Yingying's words and asked with a smile: "It's so easy to make money, why don't you go and make it?"
"I will never make money like this that goes against my conscience."
Lan Yingying curled her lips and continued, "But there is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert standing behind this man. The cultivator who found himself deceived can only swallow his anger in the end."
Even she could only go forward to sell the jade slip after the other party had asked her and given up the target.
"Thank you for letting me know, fellow Taoist."
"You're welcome." Lan Yingying smiled and said, "What's your name, fellow Taoist? My last name is Lan."
"Ji Yang, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Lan."
"Friend Ji, since you are also from a small world, are you willing to join the Small World Alliance?"
Lan Yingying looked at Chu Ning. This small world refers to the small world with a smaller population coming to the Cangtian Realm. The purpose of forming this alliance is naturally to unite and gain a foothold in the Cangtian Realm.
"Forget it. I'm used to being alone."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chu Ning refused, but Lan Yingying was not disappointed because this was within her expectations.
Many cultivators who had just arrived from the small world were unable to understand the cruelty of the Heaven Realm and had their own pride because they were absolutely powerful in their small world.
But after settling down in the Cangtian Realm and encountering setbacks everywhere, coupled with the gap between their identity and status in the original small world, those who could not accept this gap just spent the rest of their lives like this.
Those who can accept this gap and adjust their mindset will choose to gather together for warmth.
Ji Yang is still retaining the arrogance of his small world, but after encountering setbacks a few times, he will change his mind.
"If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."
After Lan Yingying left, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that these cultivators who came from small worlds also had power divisions in this Cangtian Realm.
Chu Ning did not stay in the inn in the market town because he had no spirit coins on him. As the richest man in the North, he could not afford the room fee in the Cangtian Realm. Chu Ning smiled bitterly and finally chose an open space on the mountain not far from the market town.
On the mountain, there are many cultivators who choose an open space like him. They have all just arrived in the Cangtian Realm, do not have spiritual coins on them, and are unwilling to join various forces, otherwise these forces will provide them with accommodation.
The reason why they live on this mountain is that the Spirit Transformation Hall is not opened all the time. It opens once every three years, and there is still a month before the next opening of the Spirit Transformation Hall.
A house in Fangshi.
Lan Yingying and five other people sat at the stone table in the yard.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, how are the new cultivators doing recently?" a middle-aged man asked.
"There is only one late Nascent Soul, the others are early and middle Nascent Soul, and the one in the late Nascent Soul comes from Lingyan Realm."
When they heard about Lingyan Realm, disappointment appeared on the faces of the other five people present. Lingyan Realm was extremely famous among the many small worlds, and there were also many powerful gods in Cangtian Realm who came from Lingyan Realm.
The cultivators from the Lingyan Realm will not join their Small World Alliance. They simply look down on them. Even if they are lured into the alliance first, they will choose to leave the alliance after learning the real situation, and may even become hostile to the alliance.
Therefore, their alliance never recruits those famous small worlds, but rather those cultivators from small worlds that are unknown in the Cang Tian Realm, and the same is true for the five of them themselves.
"If we can't recruit a late Nascent Soul member into the alliance, I'm afraid our alliance will be forcibly disbanded. At that time, our fate will not be decided by ourselves."
An old man in green sighed, and his words made Lan Yingying and the other four look ugly.
If they had known the situation in the Heaven Realm was like this, they would never have chosen to step into the Heaven Realm.
There are more opportunities and resources in the Cangtian Realm, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is several times richer, but these are not something that cultivators like them who come from small worlds can enjoy for free.
According to the rules of the Cangtian Realm, all cultivators coming from small worlds will be wanted if they do not soak in the Soul Transformation Pool within a hundred years to remove impurities from their bodies. Marks will appear on their bodies and they will have nowhere to escape.
But the major forces in the Cang Tian Realm built the Soul Transformation Pond not to help the cultivators in their small world, they all received a reward. It's just that this is an extremely secret matter and not many people know about it.
The Spirit Transformation Hall will arrange for them to carry out missions. Some missions are not that bad, as they just take some time, while some missions are extremely dangerous, and it can even be said that they are just going to be cannon fodder and die.
There is only one way to avoid executing the mission, and that is to pay enough spirit coins.
A Nascent Soul cultivator needs 50,000 spirit coins, but it is impossible for any cultivator who has just arrived in the Cang Tian Realm to collect 50,000 spirit coins.
If you can't afford the spirit coins and don't want to be sent out on missions, there is only one way to go, and that is to send more monks from small worlds to the Spirit Transformation Hall.
There are a total of ten Spirit Transformation Pools in the entire Cangtian Realm, and behind each of them stands a force. For example, behind the Spirit Transformation Pool where they are located stands the Holy Palace, a first-class force in the Cangtian Realm.
The cultivators coming from the small world cannot be forced to choose which Spirit Transformation Pool to go to. This is an iron rule. The forces behind the ten Spirit Transformation Pools cannot violate it and forcibly capture the cultivators from the small world.
If they cannot be captured by force, then they can only let the monks from other small worlds lure them in. The founder of the alliance that Lan Yingying belongs to is responsible for searching for new foreign monks for the Holy Palace.
Ten years ago, the Spirit Transformation Palace gave them a task, which required them to recruit a cultivator from a small world who was in the late Nascent Soul stage. This task was not only given to their alliance, but also to several other alliances here.
But so far, only one alliance has completed it, and the remaining three alliances have failed to complete the task.
If they fail to complete the tasks assigned by the Spirit Transformation Palace, they will be severely punished by the Spirit Transformation Palace and may be sent to carry out extremely dangerous tasks.
…
…
On the mountain outside the market, Chu Ning was feeling the difference between the spiritual energy of the Cangtian Realm and the Nine Realms. The next moment, his brows furrowed, while several other cultivators on the mountain shouted angrily, "Who is it!"
Three monks appeared in the air outside the mountain, staring ahead, but the next moment their expressions suddenly changed, their faces turned pale, and there was fear in their eyes.
A courtyard in the market town.
The atmosphere in the courtyard where Lan Yingying and the other six were was solemn at the moment, but the next moment the old man suddenly looked towards the mountains outside the market town, and Lan Yingying and the others reacted only one step slower than the old man.
At this moment, voices were also heard outside the market.
"There really is a hidden realm, fellow Daoist, please show yourself."
Hearing the voice, Lan Yingying and the other six looked at each other and recognized the owner of the voice, the leader of another small alliance, who was also one of the three alliances that had not completed the Spirit Transformation Hall mission.
