Chapter 654: Organize
"This is Gale Street," Yun Lai explained. "In ancient terms, it's also known as the Human Market."
He swept his gaze across the crowd. "The people here are divided into three categories. The lowest group sells themselves, signing contracts to become slaves. The second group serves as attendants, obediently following their masters' orders. The best among them are those who rely on their skills to earn a living."
"Skills? Like teaching others how to cultivate?" someone asked.
"Exactly," Yun Lai replied. "They offer a range of expertise, such as Astral Formations, weapon crafting, combat techniques, identification, and more. But in a world where everyone is focused on cultivation, these skills are the least valuable. With just a few Creation Gold Coins, you can get them to share everything they know. What's truly valuable is cultivation knowledge and experience."
He continued, "However, those who end up in the Human Market are usually of limited ability. Take cultivation, for example. Reaching the first level is considered passable. Those who achieve the second level are already considered elites and are usually recruited long before they'd ever need to sell themselves. If they haven't been taken, they're unlikely to stoop to such desperation."
"The first level..." muttered Li Pin.
He recalled the difficulty he faced while cultivating the Primordial Supreme Technique. Three to five years.
If he devoted all his time and energy to cultivation, he could potentially achieve the first level in just three years. To him, this didn't seem particularly difficult. But what allowed him to accomplish this in such a short time?
For one, he had solid cultivation talent.
While he wasn't born with a natural affinity for astral energy, his comprehension of cultivation techniques was remarkable.
Even figures like Si Xing and Xuan Jian acknowledged that his understanding rivaled that of the most gifted prodigies in the human path.
Additionally, his foundation as a Martial God gave him a significant advantage, making his progress far smoother than that of others.
