Chapter 1270 - 1269: Time to Reclaim and Cultivate Land.
Practitioners of cultivation all aspire to become strong, and what do they rely on for strength? That would be resources.
And the most common resource is the Spirit Stone, a universally accepted currency that everyone can earn, and it is effective for everyone.
However, up to now, Yusuf Zuck had yet to see a medium-quality Spirit Stone. It seems that in the Heavenly Realm, only lower-grade Spirit Stones are in circulation, while the medium, high, and even superior grades are simply not available.
Although Yusuf Zuck currently owns some Spirit Stones, they are but a drop in the ocean for the endless abyss that is his cultivation, so he needs to earn more Spirit Stones to continue his practice.
Of course, Spirit Stones are just the basic resources for cultivation. To obtain better resources, one needs heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as Divine Fruits, rare herbs, and even Divine Bugs and Wolf’s hot blood. These are all actually much better than Spirit Stones, and using these resources for cultivation can yield much faster progress.
There are even higher-level resources, such as Elixirs, Divine Pills, etc., crafted by gods.
But Yusuf Zuck no longer wanted to travel far because he had nowhere to go and did not wish to join any organizations or Clans, as it was difficult to stand out.
So, during his time in Guard City, while surveying the area, he suddenly came up with a method that would allow him to settle down and still have access to resources—contracting mountain peaks.
In the Heavenly Realm, every region has its territorial divisions. For instance, the mountains and lands within many miles of Guard City belong to the city’s domain. However, these mountains and lands are not managed by anyone. Should you occupy them privately, you would be considered a bandit and target for suppression by the Government.
But if you officially contract these mountains through the authorities, not only will the land be yours, but you would also remain a lawful citizen of the realm. Even if there were bandit suppression operations, you would not be targeted but would instead receive appropriate protection.
As for what you want to do with the mountain you contract, no one cares. You can do whatever you want, even flatten the entire mountain if you wish.
