Chapter 100: First Dan Formation
May, Blackwater Tribe.
Qin Mo led another group of craftsmen out of the teleportation array and heard a prompt sound in his ears.
"The Blackwater Tribe develops into a large tribe, and the experience value increases by 100,000 points."
After Qin Mo's several moves, the tribe's population finally reached 10,000 and successfully developed into a large tribe. The next target was the small city .
The requirements have been raised to a higher level.
Small cities must have a population of no less than 30,000 and a total population of no less than 300,000.
A city cannot exist independently of villages. Without villages to provide means of production such as food, vegetables, timber, fish, firewood, charcoal, oil, sugar, cotton, and linen, the city cannot function at all.
The larger the city, the higher the population density required in the surrounding villages and towns.
With the level of productivity in ancient times, it was already amazing if one farmer could feed ten people on average.
Because the Honghuang Continent is ten times larger than the historical Kyushu, a city with a population of 30,000 is only defined as a small city, but in the Three Kingdoms period it is considered a county city.
Luoyang has only a few hundred thousand people.
The entire Three Kingdoms subcontinent has a registered population of approximately 8 million.
Including tenants and retainers protected by aristocratic families, as well as settled households, military households, official households, escaped households, missed households, hidden households, and ethnic minorities living in Han areas who are not included in the household registration statistics, there are about 30 million people.
It is already a very low population level.
Even though Qin Mogui was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty and had tremendous power, it would be too big a commotion if he wanted to kidnap 300,000 people from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
It's as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It is difficult for Qin Mo to have higher expectations for the Three Kingdoms subcontinent. If he wants to increase the population of the Black Water Tribe, he can only find ways through players and natural reproduction.
Qin Mo could only envy the 300,000 experience points reward for the small city.
…
Including the 100,000 experience points rewarded this time, plus the previous battle in Xiliang, and earlier accumulations, Qin Mo's accumulated experience points reached 460,000.
It's time to reach the next level.
After handing over the craftsmen, Qin Mo said to the great wizard Ji Ye: "I want to prepare to form the elixir, and I would like to borrow the quiet room of the ancestral temple." There will be movement when the elixir is formed, and he did not want to let other players know.
"Form... form a pill?" The great wizard was dumbfounded.
If he remembered correctly, it had only been a little over a year since Qin Mo established his foundation.
"No?"
In fact, it would not be surprising if you think about how many earth-shaking things Qin Mo has done in the past year.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The great wizard nodded repeatedly.
I really found a treasure this time.
"By the way, do you still need that medicinal herb?" The great wizard suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, the more the better." Qin Mo said.
"Okay then. I'll arrange for some people to go into the mountains to collect them." The great wizard seemed to regard Qin Mo as the hope for the rise of the tribe, but he had a request, which he would satisfy even at the cost of his life.
…
After bidding farewell to the great wizard, Qin Mo entered the quiet room and upgraded first.
"Consume 400,000 experience points to complete the second level of the Shenxiao True Method."
In this way, Qin Mo's cultivation jumped from the early stage of foundation building to the perfect stage of foundation building. The past year of self-study saved him a full 100,000 experience points.
It is still quite considerable.
To practice the third level of "Shenxiao Zhenfa", one needs 1.5 million experience points.
There is still a long way to go!
Qin Mo sat cross-legged, put aside all distracting thoughts, and prepared to enter the Dan-forming process.
The elixir formed by cultivators is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
Those who rely on external objects to form elixirs will produce low-quality elixirs, unable to give birth to spiritual nature, and have no hope .
Those who form elixir naturally will produce elixir of medium quality.
As for the legendary top-grade golden elixir, it is necessary to naturally form the elixir before breaking it, and the cultivation level will return to the early stage of foundation building. After the foundation is consolidated and the qi, blood and magic power are strong, the elixir can be formed again.
Only then can you succeed!
There is a rumor in the world of earthly immortals that if one wants to achieve the status of a celestial immortal, one must have a top-grade golden elixir.
The chance of an ordinary cultivator successfully forming a pill naturally is less than 30%. After the pill is broken, the difficulty of forming a pill a second time increases by more than double, which is extremely dangerous.
Unless you are a genius that appears once in a thousand years, who would dare to try?
If the pill fails to form, and instead the foundation of the great Dao is damaged, then let alone the position of a celestial being, it will be questionable whether one can even survive the tribulation.
Therefore, only those with great perseverance, wisdom and decisiveness dare not try it.
Qin Mo was naturally aiming for the top-grade golden elixir.
First, his bones were tempered by the "Nine Transformations of Golden Body" and he has already entered the ranks of geniuses.
There is this innate foundation.
The second is the unique advantage of "Honghuang". After breaking the pill, you only need to accumulate experience points again to quickly form the pill for the second time.
It won’t delay your life much.
In addition, Qin Mo himself was once a master in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and had the experience of forming a pill.
With all these advantages, if Qin Mo still doesn't dare to strive for the upper-grade golden elixir and dream of becoming a celestial immortal in the future, he would be too cowardly.
That kind of "fearful" mentality is doomed to not take you far on the path of spiritual practice.
Because he was aiming for the top-grade golden elixir from the very beginning, and after succeeding he would have to break the elixir, and his cultivation would regress to the foundation-building stage. That's why Qin Mo didn't want the players to know that he had formed the elixir.
It’s always a good idea to have an extra trump card.
Abandoning all distracting thoughts, Qin Mo entered into a state of meditation and began to formally form the elixir, beginning his first true retreat in this life.
…
Ancestral temple.
After the door of the quiet room was closed, the great wizard felt both excited and nervous.
I feel uncomfortable all over.
It was even more stressful than when he was forming the elixir himself.
"No, I have to do something." The great wizard wanted to keep himself busy and temporarily forget about Qin Mo's elixir formation, otherwise, he would be restless.
After all, my state of mind is still a little lacking.
"What to do?"
"Yes, go into the mountains to collect herbs!"
The great wizard finally thought of one thing that could help Qin Mo, which was to personally lead a team into the depths of the Black and White Mountains to pick some rare body-refining herbs for Qin Mo.
The great wizard did what he said and led the team into the mountains the next day.
…
It was destined that the great wizard should suffer this disaster.
Before, the thick earth white pig who escaped from Qin Mo's hands complained to the black bear spirit and the white fox spirit, saying that her husband was brutally killed by a human cultivator, and the frost white fruit that was originally intended to be presented to the two kings was also snatched away.
After that, hunting team leader Zhao Gang led the team into the Black and White Mountains several times to collect herbs.
It alarmed the monsters in the mountains.
In the eyes of the black bear demon, all these things were humans crossing the line and a provocation to it as the king of the black and white mountains. However, due to the inexplicable natural disaster that occurred before, it did not dare to act rashly.
Fear of being beaten up by some human boss.
But this time, the white fox spirit happened to be in a bad mood and had not been touched for two months. The black bear spirit, who was in a rage, learned that humans had entered the mountains to collect herbs again.
I was furious on the spot!
"If I don't show my power, you will really think I'm a panda." The black bear demon was furious.
Just take action directly.
Faced with a Jindan stage monster, the great wizard and others had no power to resist.
In a flash, more than 30 people from the hunting team, from team leader Zhao Gang to ordinary team members, died tragically at the hands of the black bear before they could figure out what was happening.
The ground was covered with corpses.
Only the great wizard Ji Ye managed to escape thanks to the talisman given by Qin Mo, but he still had one of his legs cut off by the black bear monster and had to flee back to the tribe in a panic.
If the black bear demon hadn't just wanted to teach the wizard a lesson, the great wizard would have never survived.
…
When the great wizard returned to the tribe with a broken leg, one can imagine the panic it caused.
Especially for the native indigenous people of the Black Water Tribe, their deep-seated fear was aroused again, and they were all worried that the monsters would come down the mountain to eat people.
The craftsmen who migrated here were also terrified. They originally thought that this place was no different from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, but they didn't expect that there were man-eating monsters here .
Inside and outside Blackwater City, people suddenly became restless.
Fortunately, the great wizard enjoyed great prestige in the tribe. While he had people treat him, he also comforted everyone, saying that this was just an accident and that the monster would not come down the mountain as long as the tribe leader was there.
Finally, things were calmed down temporarily.
