Chapter 1033: Merchants
It turns out the Xuanyuan Empire was run on Bug Breeding. The notes showed that for new Gu, the mark of success was focused around the two main purposes of Gu. If they retained the ability to share cultivation and develop laws by consuming Natural Treasures, then they were a success and could be considered a new type of Gu. If it lost either of those abilities then it was not a Gu and would be disposed of. After so many years, there were thousands of different types of Gu, all with their own niche in the system and their own pros or cons.
Since talent, the perception of Qi as Sage had discovered so long ago, was not important here, then it meant anyone could become a Cultivator. Instead, money was the determining factor here. Cultivators in the first rank were far more numerous here than in the Tianxia Empire, but the upper tiers were just as low in population, if not more so. With so many people competing over a limited number of resources only the richest could advance. Every level was an exponential climb. The common people could save up and afford to buy a cheap Gu, and raising them to the first rank was similar to having an additional child. After that, the costs rose rapidly. Most people used Gu of the first rank to facilitate their profession, and the majority of Gu were actually created to fill these niches.
Blastids were developed around the unique energy port bodily feature, which allowed the beasts at the first and second tier to release elemental attacks from their body. Normally, those in the first rank could only manipulate Qi within their own bodies, while those at the second rank controlled Qi like an aura, with a limited range they could extend it outwards. Only by the third rank could they finally detach it from their body to create true ranged attacks. The first and second rank blastids filled that hole while also giving mortals access to such amenities as long as they could keep the bug fed.
Things in the Xuanyuan Empire were quite different at the low level, which meant their value for mortals was drastically different. Anyone with money to buy and keep a Blastid fed would probably buy a Gu instead, making themselves stronger, live longer, and give them a marketable ability they could use to support themselves. Sage realized that the Die Clan would not be using them as hed imagined and were more interested in the energy ports and how they could be combined with different Gu. Of course, theyd probably also use the high tier Blastids as auxiliary weapons, just as the Lang Clan had been doing. The super rich could afford to not just raise their own cultivation, but raise these weapons that could conceivably provide a whole second pool of Qi to use for attacking.
What was interesting about this book was that it didnt mention the Die Clan in specific. It spoke of The Clan when referring to these historical events and conclusions. This strangely open ended statement made Sage wonder if this book was a remnant from whatever group the Die and Lang Clan had descended from. He wasnt arrogant enough to think that the Lang was the origin of the Die Clan. While it turned out that the Lang Clan founded the Chong Clan, before they later revolted and took over, the Die were not part of that story.
While Sage hadnt come to the library to steal their techniques or the secrets of their best Gu, that didnt mean he would pass on some free knowledge. After learning the important answers, he also had the assistant bring him every book he was allowed to read. He rapidly flipped through them, looking like hed barely taken a glance, but was actually copying them to Memory Spheres on the Inner World. Combined with the knowledge that had been collected from the bookstores and other brokers, they formed a pretty decent database of the Xuanyuan Empire, or at least this Azure Sky Kingdom he was in.
Once hed gone through all the books, he handed over the Jade Tablet with the information about the tier 6 Blastids and took his leave. Hed already told them where the Lang Clan was located, as well as where he was staying, but he wasnt going to spend more than ten thousand Spirit Stones on a Messaging Jade to keep in touch. He didnt personally know any of them and he wasnt going to be returning to the Lang Clan for a long time.
Leaving the Die Clan, he stopped by a few of the Gu shops to compare them to those where Bear Three lived. After buying a few more Gu and some materials related to their growth he returned back to Stormport City. Embark on an adventure to the origins at Nøv€lß¡n#★
