Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 661 - 592 Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique_2

In Yue Country, a Foundation Establishment Pill often requires thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, but in Chu Country, it's merely five thousand Spirit Stones; for a Third Grade Spiritual Artifact, Yue Country might ask for over ten thousand Spirit Stones, yet in Chu Country, it's only seven thousand or so; as for the prices of White Sun Rice, Jade Emperor Rice, and the like, they're rather cheap, costing only three times as much as they do in Yue Country.

In Chu Country, the treatment for lower-level cultivators is quite good.

As long as you put in some effort and aren't too incompetent, many can become top cultivators.

These favorable conditions have caused the number of cultivators in Chu Country to continuously swell, the number of strong cultivators to steadily increase, and the development pace to surge, gradually giving a sense of surpassing Wu Country and Yue Country, seemingly no longer being on the same level.

Opening the Storage Bag, the Six Desires Demon Venerable took out a grain of rice.

This grain of rice, akin to a sharp sword, measured three chi and three long, with ancient runes on it, and a thread of thunderbolt flickering.

Placing this grain of rice into the Great Cauldron, pouring in the Spiritual Spring for steaming, a moment later, a fragrant aroma wafted forth.

Pouring it into a bowl, he began to taste it, it melted in his mouth.

The rich nutrition began to be absorbed by the body, a comfortable sensation arose, and under the operation of the cultivation technique, the cultivation speed briskly increased by threefold.

"Dragon's Tooth Rice, I never thought I could taste Dragon's Tooth Rice!"

After finishing one bowl, the Six Desires Demon Venerable ate another, continuously eating ten bowls, only then did a sense of fullness arise.

Standing up, he stretched his muscles and bones, his whole body exuding an indescribable sense of beauty.

He never thought he could eat Dragon's Tooth Rice.

Dragon's Tooth Rice, a dragon's food, is rather complex to cultivate, but correspondingly, it's extremely nutritious, greatly beneficial for nourishing the cultivator's body and enhancing cultivation.

In Yue Country, only a few Divinity Transformation Cultivators were qualified to eat Dragon's Tooth Rice.

But in Chu Country, even Nascent Soul Cultivators could eat Dragon's Tooth Rice. With such a good supplement of food, it's extremely difficult for the Lu Family's cultivators to have a slow progress rate.

"The Lu Family's cultivators and the Chu Country's cultivators are really fortunate!"

The Six Desires Demon Venerable sighed.

Dragon's Tooth Rice, though rare and precious, is not significant to Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

If one forcibly expanded production and increased the yield of Dragon's Tooth Rice, there wouldn't be much technical difficulty or resource difficulty.

However, in past Chu Country, or Yue Country, Wu Country, and other families, all subconsciously controlled the yield of Dragon's Tooth Rice and reduced its flow to lower-level cultivators.

Human nature is selfish.

Many High-Level Cultivators would rather stockpile resources in warehouses and let them rot than distribute them to lower-level cultivators. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is to prevent lower-level cultivators from becoming powerful and threatening their own interests.

Controlling from the source of resources, controlling their quantity and output, reducing the number of lower-level cultivators.

Thus, the price of Foundation Establishment Pills has always remained high;

Purple Mansion Pills, Pure Yang Pills, Golden Core Pills, and so forth, the prices of elixirs have also always stayed high.

Those High-Level Cultivators won't lower prices, nor will they increase output. If prices drop and supply increases, how would they maintain their high monopoly profits?

Monopoly profits are secondary;

The key is to constantly monopolize their own status.

But the Lu Family seems unconcerned with these, continuously enlarging resource allocation, continuously increasing the number of Foundation Establishment Pills, continuously putting them into the market, continuously lowering their prices, benefiting many lower-level cultivators.

But for the Lu Family, the benefits are very limited.

Previously, producing one Foundation Establishment Pill, now producing ten, the price has reduced, the output has increased, but the profit hasn't changed much. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Lu Xuanji's behavior is somewhat foolish... but he is destined not to be a fool, why would he do this?" The Six Desires Demon Venerable pondered: "Could it be for the grand war five hundred years from now? But it feels wrong? In such a world war, Divinity Transformation are soldiers, Refining Void are generals, Harmonization Cultivators, and Tribulation Crossing Cultivators are the main forces..."

Thinking and thinking again, he thought of the soon-to-come war between the Purple Mansion Realm and another world.

In such a world war, lower-level cultivators have no power to participate, and even if they do, they're not very useful,

Only Divinity Transformation Cultivators can have the qualifications to join and fight as basic soldiers at the front lines.

In such a war, whether the Purple Mansion Realm annexes that world or that world annexes the Purple Mansion Realm, the victor would completely annihilate and slay the losing side.

However, complete extermination is also tiered.

For example, cultivators at Divinity Transformation and above will be entirely slaughtered, wiped clean, leaving not a single one; but cultivators below Divinity Transformation will be preserved as much as possible, minimizing collateral damage, to preserve their Primordial Qi.

For a world, the most important thing isn't various resources, treasures of heaven and earth, but a vast number of living beings.

With living beings, a world has value; if all life perishes, the value is low.

Once the war ends, most lower-level cultivators will also be preserved.

"The Lu Family has abundant resources, which is very beneficial for me. Should I seize this opportunity to directly achieve the Peak of Nascent Soul... or directly become the early stage of Refining Void! The former represents safety, but not absolute safety; but the latter is to audaciously fight, my abilities have a high probability of perishing in disaster!"

The Six Desires Demon Venerable contemplated, falling into hesitation.

"I left a Demon Seed on Lu Xuanji... but unfortunately, with the shift in attack and defense, wanting to seize his essence, on the contrary, I'm very much in danger!"

Suddenly, he thought again about the Demon Seed, a hint of worry flitted across the Six Desires Demon Venerable's face.

By using the Demon Seed, one can seize certain cultivators' Essence, Qi, and Spirit, taking over their essence.

In his plan, when Lu Xuanji proves the Dao to Refining Void, he can seize his essence and refine it for his own use.

But all this assumes strength overpowering weakness.

Falling into calamity, if he perishes,

using the Demon Seed to reincarnate and return, but he's just a mere Third Layer of Purple Mansion; if he activates the Demon Seed, instead it will turn attack to defense. Not only failing to seize Lu Xuanji's essence, but also suffering backlash, becoming his stepping stone.

"The Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique I provided has a big flaw, if he cultivates it, I might just be able to swallow the strong with the weak." The Six Desires Demon Venerable pondered, hoping Lu Xuanji would cultivate that technique.

...

In the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji was reading the Jade Scroll, pondering the mysteries of the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique.

Constantly comprehending its intricacies, various mysteries came into being and perished, continuously enlightening the fundamentals.

The Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, the first step is to condense the Dao Body, to forge a supreme Dao Heart; the second step, using the Dao Heart, to condense the Demon Seed, spreading the Demon Seed in various forms;

The third step, after the Demon Seed enters the bodies of certain cultivators, it enters dormancy;

The fourth step, when a cultivator becomes strong enough, the Demon Seed can be retrieved.

At the moment of retrieving the Demon Seed, that cultivator's Essence, Qi, and Spirit will become nourishment for the cultivator.

Similar to a pyramid scheme, constantly spreading Demon Seeds, and then continuously harvesting.

"An interesting technique, such constant plundering and harvesting results in extremely fast cultivation speed... but the downside is a loss of destiny. No wonder this Demon Venerable mostly stays in Yue Country and rarely moves out because his luck is very poor!" Lu Xuanji pondered, vaguely understanding some principles, "In times of crisis, one can use the Demon Seed to reincarnate, evading enemy pursuit!"

"After the Six Desires Demon Venerable was killed, using the Demon Seed to reincarnate, he survived."

"Theoretically, as long as the Demon Seed is immortal, the cultivator doesn't die, one can constantly reincarnate using the Demon Seed. But this kind of reincarnation requires a huge price, each reincarnation halves the destiny. After reincarnation, luck worsens with each iteration, and calamities become increasingly terrifying, allowing at most three reincarnations."

"Three times at most is just the ideal state. Many cultivators, after their first reincarnation, die due to low destiny and many calamities."

"No wonder the Six Desires Demon Venerable chose to stay with my Lu Family, just because after reincarnation, his own destiny is too low to suppress the calamities!"

Lu Xuanji pondered, things he didn't understand before were now vaguely making sense.
