Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 174 Settling in the Immortal City Flower Sea
Inside the Cloud Sea Immortal City, Su You felt for the first time that he was still a poor man.

After all, there are far too many high-level cultivators here. Even someone with his Nascent Soul cultivation level would only be considered mid-level in Cloud Sea Immortal City.

There are quite a few experts at the Refinement and Integration realms who have settled here, after all, a ninth-order spiritual vein is not something that an ordinary force can control.

Back then, the Dream Butterfly Sect was considered very powerful, and it even possessed a ninth-tier magic treasure, but it still failed to cultivate a ninth-tier spiritual vein.

Even some sects with experts who have transcended tribulations do not have ninth-order spiritual veins. If they want to continue cultivating, they can only temporarily reside in the floating immortal abode.

These are the people who control most of the wealth of Yunhai Immortal City.

Su You, with his wealth of hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones, is considered to be in a league of his own in the Nascent Soul realm, and even a formidable figure in the Void Refining realm. However, he is far inferior to those experts in the Body Integration realm, and still far behind these big shots.

They could casually produce a high-level treasure that was worth more than all of Su You's wealth.

In the past few days, Su You seemed to have lost all sense of the number of spirit stones.

Hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones flowed like water.

He spent all his savings after just a few auctions.

This also shows that the world is indeed very rich in resources.

It is completely different from the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Of the three worlds in the Middle Thousand Worlds, Su You has been to three, and he has a good understanding of them, ranging from the most ordinary to the most advanced.

However, even the most advanced middle-thousand worlds, such as the Tongtian Vine World, could not possibly possess the abundant resources of a great-thousand world.

Sixth and seventh tier spirit materials can still be purchased directly with spirit stones if you want to buy them.

With these spiritual items, if we use them all to refine the twin clones' natal magic treasures, we can quickly upgrade the magic treasures' rank. It will be easy to upgrade their quality to the fifth rank, and we can even go further.

Su You felt that his cultivation had just surpassed that of the clone, and that it would soon be surpassed again.

With the help of their natal magic weapon's advancement, it's still uncertain whether the twin clones can reach the Void Refinement Realm, but they are confident of advancing one or two minor realms.

If there is a continuous supply of spiritual objects to refine, and the twin clones possess the complete Spiritual Treasure Scripture, then his cultivation speed will definitely undergo a qualitative change. Although he may not be able to surpass An Ling'er, he will definitely surpass most cultivators in the world.

Unfortunately, the price of rapid improvement in cultivation is a huge consumption of spirit stones.

This is simply built up with money.

The materials purchased for this natal wizard tower were quite numerous, accounting for two-thirds of the total, and in terms of value, they amounted to nearly seventy to eighty million high-grade spirit stones.

Such a huge amount of spirit stones is enough to directly create several cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm, although the process is very slow and they still need to take pills to improve.

What he's doing now is using spirit stones to exchange for time, which allows him to save more cultivation time.

Moreover, it is only natural to upgrade one's natal magic weapon. It just so happens that it also improves one's own cultivation level, so it can be considered as killing two birds with one stone.

Having run out of spirit stones, Su You didn't plan to attend any other auctions.

There were so many amazing things at the auction that he was dazzled and even wanted to buy them all.

Unfortunately, his wealth was limited, so for the time being he could only choose some treasures that were most useful to him and Ling'er.

In the following time, Su You and An Ling'er traveled between different areas of the Immortal City using teleportation arrays.

Within the Cloud Sea Immortal City, each area has its own unique characteristics and social hierarchy.

It's the outermost area, where all the lowest-level cultivators live and work.

The middle level is inhabited by most cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above.

The innermost layer is the most suitable place for Su You. Most cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage live there, and the auctions Su You participated in before were all from this area.

Only in such a region would such a high-level auction take place.

After exploring some of the more interesting places in the outer and middle layers, Su You and An Ling'er returned to this area.

This area is the smallest within the Cloud Sea Immortal City, and it is not divided into different zones like the other areas. After all, compared to the vast population of the entire Immortal City, the number of experts at the Nascent Soul stage and above is still much smaller.

Su You returned this time because he wanted to rent a cave dwelling here.

He did want to buy an inner cave dwelling, but the price was indeed astonishing. Although he could afford it, there was no need for him to be ripped off.

He didn't really want to settle down here.

After all, he has a free-spirited and adventurous heart. If it weren't for An Ling'er, he certainly wouldn't have rented this cave dwelling for a long time.

Compared to the potential dangers of cultivating outside, it's better for An Ling'er to cultivate peacefully inside her cave.

Su You directly rented a seventh-tier cave dwelling for a hundred years. At this stage, a seventh-tier cave dwelling is more than enough for the two of them to use for a long time.

The spiritual energy of a seventh-tier cave is equivalent to that of a seventh-tier spiritual vein, which is sufficient to meet the daily cultivation needs of a powerhouse at the Integration Realm.

The rent for the cave dwelling is 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. This price is astronomical for any Nascent Soul cultivator. Even a Deity Transformation cultivator would need to consider it for a long time before making a decision. However, Su You did not feel any pain at all.

After all, compared to the spirit stones he spent at the auction, the spirit stones he spent on renting the cave dwelling were just a drop in the ocean.

After paying the rent, Su You received a token that was uniquely his own, which was the token to control the cave's formation.

His cave dwelling was located next to a large mountain in the inner area. The entire cave dwelling was very spacious, unlike the narrow cave dwellings of ordinary cave dwellings. The view inside was open, and the spiritual fruit trees emitted an enticing fragrance.

Although they were just ordinary third-tier spirit fruits, it was clear that Cloud Sea Immortal City had put a lot of effort into them and was very luxurious.

All the spiritual fruits on these spiritual fruit trees are free. As long as he lives here, he can pick the spiritual fruits from the trees at will, as long as he doesn't touch the spiritual roots.

Additionally, to the left of the cave dwelling, there is a small lake covering several square miles, from which steam faintly rises.

"It's actually a man-made hot spring, and even the water is spiritual water. Although it's only second-grade spiritual water, it's still incredibly luxurious," Su You couldn't help but exclaim.

Even he himself had never indulged in such luxuries, and Su You had never tried using spiritual liquid for bathing.

Now that he's seen this hot spring, he might as well give it a try in the future. Low-grade spiritual liquid is useless to him, but if he could make high-grade spiritual liquid, it might be beneficial to his body.

Besides these two places, there is also a sizable valley inside the cave, filled with fragrant spiritual flowers. As far as the eye can see, the colorful flowers sway in the wind, which is very beautiful and moving.

When he chose this cave dwelling, it was because he discovered the Hundred Flowers Valley that he chose this cave dwelling.

"So beautiful!" An Ling'er opened her arms and ran joyfully, stepping through the void as she ran around the valley, occasionally picking a pretty flower.

"Brother Su, here, put this on you!" An Ling'er placed a small pink flower on Su You's forehead and then laughed heartily.

Su You smiled gently and waved his hand lightly, causing all the spiritual flowers below to sway.

He selected the thirty most beautiful spirit flowers, wove them into a wreath, and placed it on Ling'er's head, just like a headband.

Unlike Su You, who looked out of place wearing a flower crown, An Ling'er, wearing a flower crown headband, became even more captivating with every smile and gesture.

"Ling'er, let's cultivate together..." Su You wrapped one arm around An Ling'er's slender waist and pushed her down into the flower bushes.

In an instant, hundreds of flowers bloomed, especially beautiful!
……

Happy days always pass quickly.

After a few days of relaxation, Su You and An Ling'er resumed their arduous training.

Especially An Ling'er, he bought a lot of high-level water-attribute spiritual items at the auction, just for Ling'er.

After all, it's better to buy resources for An Ling'er to help her quickly improve her cultivation level than to buy resources for oneself to cultivate.

When the time comes for dual cultivation, he himself will benefit the most, especially when the woman's cultivation level is far higher than his.

Su You didn't spend much time cultivating, and most of his cultivation was done in dual cultivation with An Ling'er. He spent most of his time researching the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

He also took the opportunity to recruit his first subordinate in the vast world of Canghai.

This person was Yun Yun. Within the time limit set by Su You, she helped Su You choose a suitable shop in an area of ​​the outer city.

After all, most of the items he sells are low-level items, and most low-level cultivators are located in the outer area, so naturally the shop should be located there.

Su You glanced at Yun Yun's choices and, based on what she said, they were generally acceptable, so he didn't choose carefully.

After all, this was only his first store, and one store could not handle his huge volume of shipments.

Moreover, even if he could handle such a large volume of shipments, he couldn't possibly sell so many items from the same store.

After all, there is always a division of profits no matter where you are. Every time a new shop comes in, it will take away the business of other shops. It would be unwise to steal all their business.

In the vast world of Canghai, Su You mainly kept a low profile. His main purpose in coming to this world was not to make money.

Making money is just a side effect.

Su You will gradually gather reliable talents and open shops one by one. This will definitely help alleviate the burden of the resources he has accumulated over the years.

Of course, the number of stores opened is still somewhat related to Su You himself.

After all, the black hole space within his sea of ​​consciousness has limited capacity for transmitting items, so he can't open a large number of shops. If he can't supply the goods, that would be bad.

However, Su You has now accumulated a large amount of supplies, including bottles of pills and magical artifacts, all stored in his storage ring, enough for his shops to use for a period of time.

Su You only put a third of his effort into the shop and handled it simply.

He himself didn't care about choosing Yunyun. If he had the ability, he would be able to show it sooner or later. If he didn't have the ability, he could simply change the shop owner in the future.

His other thoughts were all on the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

Such a vast immortal city is what he should observe.

Its operating mode, its carrying capacity, its development and progress, etc., are all things that Su You needs to learn.

After all, the cultivation academy will gradually expand in the future. The cultivators under him are quite diligent and capable when teaching students, but most of them are not very good at managing the academy.

It was only through Su You's careful selection that a group of suitable management talents were found, enabling the Immortal Cultivation Academy to develop and grow in an orderly manner.

The number of students at the cultivation academy is becoming increasingly bloated, with students coming from various mortal kingdoms.

Moreover, due to the favorable environment of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, the weather is favorable every year, resulting in a significant increase in the population.

Therefore, the number of students selected each year who can cultivate is very large. Also, since both parents are spiritual root cultivators, their children are also very likely to have spiritual roots. This is one of the reasons why the cultivation academy continues to expand.

The students who can stay on as faculty after graduation are becoming increasingly outstanding, unlike before when, due to a shortage of staff, only the best among the less capable could be selected.

Fortunately, there are two other ways to absorb the large number of cultivators. One is that students without any talent can directly enter the army.

Now, because of the war on the battlefield, the army has become a meat grinder, with soldiers constantly falling and new soldiers constantly joining the ranks.

This process of generational change also allows for the selection of replacement talent and the elimination of veterans who occupy positions.

Another example is the factories in the cultivation world, where every single one of them is a workaholic, working day and night to earn money for him. Especially because of the interdimensional war, he obtained a large amount of basic materials from the war's profits, which he used to refine treasures.

"It seems that in the future, selecting cultivators to enter the cultivation academy will also require a test of their qualifications," Su You thought to himself.

After all, with the increasing number of cultivators, the cultivation academy doesn't have enough resources to absorb so many cultivators all at once.

The future model will definitely be a state of universal cultivation, and then, like raising Gu poison, the most powerful being will be selected.

Those with high aptitude will definitely be sent to the Immortal Cultivation Academy.

As for the other cultivators, they judged based on their own circumstances and achievements.

It will become a sacred place for cultivators.

However, the situation with the twin clones is still far from over. The creatures in that realm are rather strange, and the existence of their spiritual roots is indeed a thorn in their side, which needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
