break the way [comprehension]

Chapter 189

Under Du Ziteng's instruction, Channel [-] of the Cultivation World followed up the situation after the implementation of the "exchange restriction" policy, and everything was as bad as expected:

"According to the statistics from the front line of our first channel, after the implementation of the 'restriction on exchange' policy, the average price of spiritual objects has increased by four times. More and more Taoist friends have expressed that they cannot bear the current price. We hope that Relevant sects can attract attention, and these many fellow daoists are the main force in the frontline fight against demons, only by ensuring their livelihoods can the stability of Xuepenkou be maintained."

"News came from the West Front. Today, after seven consecutive days of decline in the first-level exchange window and spirit item exchange window traffic on the West Front, it has hit a record low. Reliable sources indicate that if this situation continues, the West Front may face a shortage of goods. Backlog, the risk of poor turnover, by then, I am afraid that the Western Front will no longer be able to continue to provide high-quality and cheap spirits..."

"The news came from the front line of the battle. Starting today, the number of monks entering the battle line has reached a new low. Many fellow Taoists have made it clear that at the current price level, the income from entering the battle line to kill demons is far from enough to support the cultivation. Yes, the number of demons in the battle has shown a straight-line upward trend, please do a good job of protection for fellow daoists who are about to enter the battle."

The first channel lived up to Du Ziteng's entrustment this time, and actually followed up the whole news, and the anxious and depressed emotions were spread along the radio to almost the entire front line, and more and more monks had already packed up silently My own things, sitting quietly in front of the radio and listening to the news, the expression on that face is hard to tell whether it is frustration or bewilderment.

It seems that I don't know why it became like this, and I don't know what to do next...

This panic is reflected in the cold data, which is the continuously declining transaction volume, and is reflected in the battle formation, which is the more and more active demons on the front line...

The predicament on the western front described by the first channel is also true. Because of the proposal of the Royal Beast Coin, Xing Mingliang used his own spiritual stones to pay for the purchase cost of the spiritual items purchased by the monks, but received a bunch of useless It's just the head of the monster.

Under the instigation of He Shiming that day, Xing Mingliang was planning for the long-term benefit, but more for the immediate benefit: when the sect accepts the head next time and delivers the spirit stone, it will be able to pay the capital with the profit at once. Earn all the spirit stones back.

But it’s good now, seeing that it’s almost time to deliver the head to the sect for acceptance and please collect the spirit stones, the head can’t be received, and the backlog of spiritual objects is consumed slowly in the warehouse, and the benefits that were originally to be obtained have shrunk in a straight line. Stone in exchange for a lot of spiritual things that can't be used up even after the end of life, who can not be angry?

At this time, He Shiming finally made a temporary suggestion to the furious Xing Mingliang.

Seeing Xing Mingliang's hesitant face, He Shiming said in a low voice: "This idea has advantages and disadvantages, so I won't talk about the advantages. Periodic time can make the exchange of spiritual objects smoother. As for the disadvantages..." He Shiming's voice was inaudible: "If If we really do this, it will be tantamount to tearing apart with the other five factions..."

There is no need for He Shiming to say this, and Xing Mingliang also knows that it really takes courage to fight with the other five factions with real knives and guns. Not to mention the strange and unpredictable methods of Daxue Palace, it is the other four factions... Everyone collectively called the six factions, all at the same level, who would not be afraid to really work with so many people at the same time?

At this time, in front of Xing Mingliang, a deep voice came from the extraordinarily beautifully made radio: "...According to the incomplete statistics of the first channel, not only the number of spiritual objects exchanged, but the entire battle formation beheaded the heads of monsters. The number of monsters is declining sharply. If things go on like this, the number of demons killed in the entire battle formation, and even the materials that can be exchanged for heads will be greatly reduced, which will greatly affect the situation of fighting demons..."

The situation of fighting demons is naturally not within the scope of consideration of Xingzhang, but the previous sentence, the decline in the number of beheaded demons exchanged for spiritual objects makes him worried. In the final analysis, all the resources consumed by this battle line come from As for the spiritual stones of the six major sects, if there are fewer and fewer heads, there will only be fewer and fewer spiritual stones on the front line—with too many monks and too few porridge, how can you expect the relationship between these monks to be restored?Don't be ridiculous!

Wanting to understand this level, Xing Mingliang let out a long breath. Since the face will be torn as soon as possible, what does it matter if you tear it up sooner or later? !Tearing it up early can also recover the loss as soon as possible...

"Done!" Xing Mingliang smashed the table into pieces but couldn't hide the viciousness on his face. If it wasn't for the gang of monks headed by Zhu Jincai who pressed him step by step, he wouldn't be able to fight back like this, but now that he has come to this point, You can't look forward and backward!

Seeing that Xing Mingliang's reaction was almost exactly as Du Ziteng expected, He Shiming left with satisfaction and went to implement the suggestion just now.

On this day, the news from Channel [-] once again made the whole blood boil!

"Everyone, great news! Channel [-] has just received first-hand news from the West Front. From now on, the West Front will implement the 'dual-line registration' policy, that is to say, even if you have previously registered with other sects You can apply to join the West Front Jade Moon City as well!"

"Yes, you heard me right. From now on, as long as you own the head, you can also exchange it on the Western Front!"

At this time, if someone looked down at the entire blood basin and could see such a strange scene, then the monks who were sitting at the table slumped like stone sculptures seemed shocked when the news was first broadcast. It was as if petrified, and even more sluggish, but in the next moment, these many stone statues came alive at the same time, running excitedly to confirm: confirm that I am not hallucinating, and that I heard correctly.

Then, those small dots that came alive rushed from all directions towards the western front like a tide.

He Shiming adjusted almost all the monks who were originally responsible for the exchange to register. After the arrangement, he saw those excited casual cultivators passing by in groups in front of the window lattice, and he suddenly felt a strange feeling towards Du Ziteng From my point of view: that person, does he know that a casual thought in his gestures will have such a huge impact on the paths of so many monks?

"Double line membership", such a weird term, but the other party threw it to him as a temporary countermeasure in an understatement.

It seemed to be an idea that came up by chance in a flash of inspiration, just like the other party's many weird ideas before.However, the timing and connotation of this idea are so terrifying... so terrifying that He Shiming did not dare to implement it as a random plan.

As an executor and a bystander, after He Shiming has silently implemented Du Ziteng's strategy for so long, he understands even more in his heart that just like the last time the Royal Beast Coin, he can't see anything at all right now, he just thinks it's just a small thing Son, but from the eyes of a former excellent businessman, He Shiming felt faintly subdued by the power behind the ferocious beast head. He had a keen premonition that once this beast broke free from its shackles, the entire cultivation world would tremble in fear. And one end of the iron chain was firmly tied to the hand of the person in the secret realm.

But now, this dual-line membership... makes He Shiming feel sincere awe.

In the world of comprehension, because the monks seek different ways, the weak eat the strong, plunder and kill, licentiousness... There are always sects that can accept all kinds of perversions, but there is one thing, whether it is a top sect like the Six Sects or a blood-slaughter sect. Zong's crooked way will never tolerate being touched, that is - change the family.

The most important comprehension unit in the cultivation world is the sect. In any sect, the sect has paid a price to help the monks to practice better in the process of growing up in any sect. Once the sect needs it, the monk must come forward .

To enjoy the rights is to fulfill the obligations.

This is the most solid cornerstone of the sectarian society in the entire comprehension world.

This cornerstone sounds fair, but has anyone ever thought about whether this right and obligation are equal?The Zongmen may only pay a small amount of resources, but what the monks ask for is life and freedom, which cannot even be refused.

What's more, when this kind of exchange is carried out, most of the monks are about to step into the Dao, and they are vague and ignorant about everything about cultivation, so they sell themselves to a place that they don't know so well. It becomes a part of this huge and strict system, or is assimilated by it, or if it slowly annihilates the sound.

And this kind of exchange transaction, which is almost a blind sale of oneself, is actually a final decision, which cannot be rejected but cannot be repented. Which transaction would be so overbearing?The whole cultivation world is like this.

Unless it is standing at the top of the pyramid, in a sense, the sect has a large degree of dominance over the monks.The Zongmen gave resources and wanted to exchange the monk's loyalty.Even in the selection of monks and the inclination of resources, the sect has great dominance.

This is also the reason why this cornerstone can exist firmly in the entire sectarian system society.

Without interest, who will maintain it?

No matter what kind of sect it is, no matter whether the sect is admired or cast aside by thousands of people, they are all interested in the society of this system, and no one will easily touch this cornerstone, otherwise, it would be like raising a sword by oneself On his own neck—cutting his own life?

But such a bottom line that no one in the cultivation world dares to touch, is now mockingly stepped on by a foundation cultivator, while the entire cultivation world is still ignorant.

The so-called line registration means that at the beginning of the summoning of monks from all over the world on the demon front, the six factions promised to the casual cultivators that as long as the casual cultivators accumulated a certain number of heads, they could be exchanged for the qualifications to enter the six factions.

Loose cultivators choose a sect to register based on their preferences and specialties, expressing their willingness to join this sect, and then all the heads they capture will be registered in this sect, and exchanged for the resources needed to practice and kill the enemy, and continue to accumulate The number of heads is expected to meet the standard for joining the sect... This is the line membership.

To put it bluntly, without that registration process, no matter how many monsters you kill, no sect will accept you.This thread, in essence, is the candidate qualification of a sect.

And the "two-line registration"... He Shiming took a deep breath before suppressing the vague fear and throbbing in his heart. This is actually challenging the basic rules of the entire cultivation world...

In this world, the sect has always been the one who selects disciples, and the sect has absolute control over the candidate monks.Therefore, although it was not stated clearly, this disciple can only choose one sect as a candidate, which is like expressing to the sect: I have absolutely no second thoughts, please rest assured to choose me to join the sect.

Loyalty is the most basic condition.

This cornerstone rule is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it has reached the point where everyone in the cultivation world obeys it without saying anything: there is absolutely no monk in the entire blood basin who would choose two sects to register at the same time.

But the current two-line registration policy is undoubtedly breaking the most basic rule of the cultivation world.

Perhaps in the eyes of the entire comprehension world, this is just a temporary move by the demon frontline Biyue City, but in the eyes of He Shiming, this is clearly the cynical and rebellious guy stepping on this cornerstone and saying: I am subverting you What's the most important rule?

This guy seems to be sneering and pointing at those high-ranking sects and scolding: Why can you use your power advantage to dominate and oppress those monks at will?I just want to tear it all up!

There is no need to doubt the indestructible determination in the strategy that was set at random.

He Shiming thought, perhaps, there is no better opportunity than this.If it weren't for Xing Mingliang's desire to jump over the wall and ignore this meaning, maybe he would never dare to do it again if he had a hundred courage.

Let the monks and the sect be equal for once.

Chaos ensues when the basic rules of a system are upended.

That's all the rest.

According to the statistics released by the first channel, on that day alone, more than [-] monks registered as "double-line registration" on the western front, and on the way to the western front, there are still countless casual cultivators .

The latest data released frequently by Channel [-] is like an inspiring drumbeat in the hearts of every casual cultivator, inspiring them to move towards the land of hope and pursue a dream that is not extravagant but so far away—please let I can slay demons and accumulate spiritual objects with peace of mind, and join a sect in peace and practice hard.

More and more monks joined the queue to march on the western front, and there was even a grand scene where there were no demons in the west.

When the basic rules of a system are subverted, its vested interests will immediately jump out, delusional to restore everything to the past, and delusional to push the challenger into the ground.

This "immediately" is three days on the demon front. At this time, more than [-] monks have registered "double-line registration" on the western front, and more are still on the way.

Three days seems to be quite a long time.However, if one considers the time it takes for the five sects to collide back and forth, tear each other apart, and take the blame for nothing, being able to respond within three days seems to be considered extremely fast in making history:

"Amazing news! The first channel brings you another amazing news. The five factions of Daxue Palace, Miaosi Academy, Yunhua Villa, Chunshanchi, and Lanzhou League jointly issued a statement. If you don’t give up within three days, you will no longer have the registration qualifications of the five major sects, and all previous heads will be cleared!”

"Three days, fellow daoists, this announcement indicates that you only have three days. The five major factions are firm in their wording this time. I am afraid that everyone will have to decide whether to hold a 'double-line membership' as soon as possible. The first channel will continue to provide You follow the reports."

The turbulent crowd rushing to the western front finally eased and finally stagnated, as if they were overwhelmed by this turning point again.

And the monks who stayed on the western front were even more at a loss. They finally received the good news in despair, thinking that they could continue to enjoy the high-quality and cheap spiritual objects on the western front, and continue to pursue the simple but distant I never imagined that I would encounter such a brutal and naked joint threat...

This is tantamount to the fact that the sect they chose is mercilessly forcing them to give up everything that is so good and cheap on the western front. What is Chunshanchi/Lanzhoumeng for?

Maybe it's for the combination of skills?In order to obtain some kind of spiritual object?In order to pay homage to a certain master?However, if under that terrifying exchange ratio, I can't even obtain the spiritual objects that basically sustain my livelihood, and if I may be at the front line at any time, what's the point of combining the skills?How can the spirit thing I want have a chance?How can I meet the master I admire again?

Some people recalled in a trance, maybe it was because of the illusion of warmth caused by the favor they had inadvertently obtained when they were wandering alone and helpless in the realm of comprehension?Now, everything about this illusion is torn apart, and nothing remains.

They stared blankly at the spiritual item exchange window on the western front not far away. All the prices were clear. No matter how rapidly changing the situation in this blood basin was, the price list remained the same. It never wavered. It was so firm and reliable. within reach.

There are also fellow Taoists around them on the western front, who clearly enjoy the most superior conditions on the western front, and obviously should have nothing to do with them and watch indifferently, but at this moment they are also sitting silently by the side:

"Old Xia, why are you still here?"

"Hey, the five major sects in this day and night don't know how to do human affairs. What's wrong with everyone using the spirits from the Western Front? Shouldn't they be using better and cheaper things? They even resorted to such despicable and shameless tricks! "

"Come on, Lao Xia, good luck to you, I chose Biyue City, hurry up and do your work..."

"I said, Lao Qin, this sad face is not like you. The world is not good, and you have to work hard to win!"

"Hey, you're still talking about me. It's okay. I've practiced for so many years. I haven't seen any big storms. It's nothing now. I'll take your sincerity. I'm really a brother..."

"Hey, I'm so sincere, I'm complaining because of this shitty rules that make it impossible for me to do business, and I can't set up a stall! Otherwise, it's none of my business!"

"Haha, you, just continue to be awkward~"

"you……!"

It seems that this scene of jokes and explanations was staged in countless places on the Western Front. Even in this predicament, people who watched from the sidelines felt warm in their hearts.

Countless casual cultivators are asking themselves.

Could it be that everything you want to pursue is actually in front of you, but it's ridiculous that you can't see through it, and you just want to find fish in the opposite direction?

Perhaps, this shaking was only for a short moment, and it was covered up by the obsession in past thoughts, but this moment finally left a gap.

Du Ziteng has always been a person who grasps the gaps in human nature.

Channel [-] soon launched a second information and interview program besides "Chaowen Kuaibo": "Speaking of Taoists".

The surname of the fellow Daoist interviewed in this first issue is Zhao Mingjin.

During the first interview, it was obvious that he was very nervous.

"Come on, Fellow Daoist Zhao, let me give you a brief introduction of your situation, so that everyone can get to know you."

"Great... Hello everyone! My name is Zhao Jin, um, I'm currently on the ninth level of Qi Refining, uh, I'm afraid the cultivation base is lower than that of many fellow daoists. Hey, can I change to a fellow daoist? I, I really have nothing to say ah……"

But the host gave a light smile: "You don't have to be like this, fellow Daoist Zhao, today I'm just talking to you fellow Daoists, how about this, if you don't mind, can you tell me how you set foot on the road back then?"

"There's nothing you can't say, but I have nothing to say..."

I don't know what the host gestured, but Zhao Jin said helplessly: "Okay... I was born in a village called Zhaojiagou in the Mortal Realm. Hey, I went back to see it last time, and now that place is deserted. , I remember that my family is not rich. I have been herding cattle for my master since I was a child. Mature, hungry, I mistakenly ate it as a fruit, and then stepped into the path..."

Zhao Jin's experience is so simple and clean. If you read it as a storybook, you will definitely be thrown eggs by readers. The writing is too bad!There is not even a point of succession and transformation!

However, this sounds ordinary and ordinary experience, but it is the fusion of the experiences of so many casual cultivators: born in the mortal world, entered the cultivation world by mistake, stumbled and walked alone to the present with a black eye, and now Trapped in the dilemma of "double line membership".

Every experience he said is so familiar, if he has been like this before, or if there are close friends around him, this kind of familiarity is like, the person on the other end of the radio is either someone else, it is himself, it is you, it is me , is the casual cultivator in our hearts, with mediocre qualifications and ordinary background, but unwilling to continue like this.

"So, fellow Daoist Zhao, you came to Xuepenkou to break through the bottleneck of the seven Qi Dao guides?"

"Hey, there is no other way. In fact, I also asked my fellow Taoists at the beginning. Maybe a bottle of yellow bud pill can break through, but I am really short of money. It happens that the six major sects summoned monks and they were paid. is willing."

"The task of slaying demons and demons is not easy, and it should even be said to be very dangerous, right? Not every monk who encounters a bottleneck can break through like you."

"I've said it before, it's a fact that the task is not easy, but there is no good thing in the world that you can get for nothing, if you want it, go all out to fight for it," Zhao Jin laughed at himself: "We loose cultivators have been working alone for so many years, I'm afraid there are only It's an advantage of 'seeing things clearly'."

"I just noticed that you were trapped at the seventh level of qi refining that day, but now you are at the ninth level of qi refining. It seems that it has only been two years... You were too humble just now! You are already very hardworking! "

"Haha, thanks to the blessing of coming to Xuepenkou this time, if it weren't for the rewards of this exchange mechanism, I am afraid that when my lifespan ends, I will only be at the seventh level of Qi Refining. I really have to thank the six major factions."

"The incentive mechanism of the six factions is only for those who slay demons and eliminate demons. In the final analysis, you should work hard and do a good job... But, the new rules have come out recently, Zhao Daoyou...?"

The many casual cultivators who have been listening to the program intently and couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths found that the radio was silent for a long time. Xiucai said softly but firmly: "I have decided to go to the western front."

"Western Front? Ga? But the double-line membership is not allowed now...?"

"I mean, I've decided to only stay on the Western Front from now on." It seemed that after the beginning, everything became easier: "I'm just an ordinary casual cultivator, I don't have any extraordinary talents, and I don't have any powerful ones." As a backer, I can only rely on myself for everything, killing monsters in exchange for better resources for cultivation... This is the best kind of cultivation I can choose."

"Choose to join the Western Front... I didn't have any major pursuits at first, I didn't think about those messy things... I just want to continue my practice. I have a Taoist friend here, who focuses on killing the enemy every day, concentrates on practicing, and meditates , there is no need to worry about every day for a yellow bud pill and a magic amulet... I... I also hope to continue to practice like them, that's all. Other places can't do it, the western front can do it, since there is a choice , that is the Western Front."

Let your practice continue, that's all.

These words, like the evening drum and the morning bell, struck heavily on the hearts of countless non-western casual cultivators. This interview was recorded by countless monks and played repeatedly many times. The barriers drawn down completely collapsed.

At this moment, the period of three days is approaching.

Countless monks who were stuck in the middle of the road lifted their feet and continued in the original direction.

Countless monks who stayed on the western front stepped up without any hesitation, and threw themselves into battle, slaying demons and demons.

It's as if that three-day period never existed.

If given a choice, I choose to continue my practice, that's all.
