Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

War is nothing but a reshuffling of the deck.

Countless forces fall, countless forces rise, cruelly dividing the cake, partitioning spheres of influence.

In the fragmentation of forces, disputes are the norm, but harmony follows the disputes.

In the division of territories, the Lu Family, building upon its original lands, expanded its influence to the southeast, bordering Wu Country.

Within the jurisdiction, there are vast plains capable of sustaining a large population; numerous rivers run through it, with many scattered lakes; and several mountain ranges are spread throughout, nurturing spirit stones, along with some rare ores.

However, the reserves are significantly low.

As for the spirit veins, most are nearing exhaustion.

In the early days of Chu Country’s establishment, the land was full of natural spirit veins, spiritual mountains, ore mountains, and more, with spirit medicine abundant everywhere. As long as a cultivator searched carefully, they could find some natural spirit veins and establish cave mansions on them, turning them into cultivation blessings. Just by searching diligently and digging mines, they could unearth spirit stones, spiritual materials, and so forth underground.

But after thousands of years, with the excavation and mining by cultivators, the increase in population, and massive resource consumption, most of the original minerals, natural spirit veins, naturally grown spirit medicine, etc., within Chu Country have been exhausted. The few remaining mineral veins are also difficult to extract.

Today, Chu Country can be described as a land of exhausted veins and depleted resources.

Fortunately, this is the Cultivation Immortality World, where cultivation equals productivity. The more powerful the cultivator, the stronger their ability to transform the world.

Mighty cultivators can lay down arrays using their own cultivation, invoking the power of heaven and earth to create all kinds of things, including man-made spirit stones, spirit veins, ores, and more.

Now, within Chu Country, ninety percent of spirit stones are artificial, seventy percent of spirit veins are man-made, and many spirit medicines are also artificially cultivated. As for Profound Nether Divine Iron, Creation Divine Iron, Black Tortoise Stone, Heaven Mending Stone, and various other artifact refining materials, over thirty percent are man-made.

As of now, seventy percent of cultivation resources in the Cultivation Realm, and some Fifth Grade resources, can all be artificially created.

However, artificial creation presents a high-cost issue, requiring high cultivation levels from cultivators, and, of course, the biggest problem is the lack of time for cultivators.

The Cultivation Immortality Realm is not a money society.

In a capitalist money society, everything aims for profit, sacrificing everything for money, striving to manufacture many products for profit.

But in the Cultivation Immortality Realm, cultivation is paramount, and many cultivators focus on training and enhancing their cultivation.

Without cultivation, no amount of wealth can be maintained.

For instance, if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator possesses wealth comparable to a Golden Core, but doesn’t keep a low profile and spends lavishly everywhere, they might find a strong force coming to annihilate them the very next day.

...

Looking at the map, at the Lu Family’s delineated territories and scope of influence.

The numerous True Monarchs present were quite considerate, showing him respect.

Yet, alongside the joy, there was a faint concern.

Within the territory, laying spirit veins; spending vast spirit stones, setting up heaven and earth grand arrays, and creating artificial spiritual materials; and encouraging Golden Core Cultivators to manufacture man-made spirit stones.

Moreover, the large-scale artificial cultivation of spirit medicine and spirit trees all require a substantial population and many cultivators.

"It seems policies need to be enacted to encourage population growth!"

Lu Xuanji pondered.

Whether it is man-made spirit stones, spiritual materials, spirit veins, spirit medicines, etc., all are inseparable from humans.

Only a vast population can promote development and enable artificial creation.

Otherwise, relying solely on high-level cultivators for artificial creation not only falls short in quantity but is also insufficient in time.

...

On the map, each major force divided their territories, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Next, we have the barter assembly where everyone can exchange some resources, some precious items!"

True Monarch Feiyu said.

Some items were placed on the table, alongside the things he wanted to exchange.

Some other Nascent Soul Cultivators also placed things on the table.

Soon, they entered the barter phase.

Both parties began the exchange phase, swapping some items.

Lu Xuanji also took out a beast skin scroll, a pill bottle, and some spirit fruit, placing them on the table to start trading.

In times past, money wasn’t omnipotent.

Money couldn’t buy nuclear weapons, nor could it acquire top-level technologies.

For example, some country has top-level fighter jets, or top-tier aircraft carriers or other defense high-tech, and a wealthy fool says, "I want to spend a large sum to buy this top-level weapon, purchase this high-level technology," etc... it would certainly end in purchasing failure.

Many times, spending money won’t buy high-tech.

To obtain some high-tech, you can only exchange it for similarly ranked high-tech.

In the Cultivation Immortality World, spirit stones can buy many things, but a few top-tier items can’t be bought even with wealth.

Some items can only be acquired through barter.

Observing the items on site, Lu Xuanji indeed found some beneficial items for himself.

The Teleportation Array Map has detailed techniques recorded, illustrating how to set up a teleportation array, capable of transporting up to thirty thousand kilometers at once, considered a short-range teleportation grand array.

The Martial Arts Stone aids cultivators in enhancing their comprehension.

Fifth Grade Profound Nether Iron can enhance the grade of the Heaven Mending Cauldron.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the price of the Teleportation Array Map?"

Lu Xuanji stepped forward and asked.

This fellow Daoist is named True Monarch Star.

"It can be exchanged for three Nascent Soul Pills, or a Fifth Grade Creation Fruit, or other herbs!" True Monarch Star said, "I am already at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, stuck at this realm for some time, and need a Spirit Communication Pill to break the bottleneck."

"I have three Creation Fruits!"

Lu Xuanji said,

Handing over three Creation Fruits.

"Fellow Daoist, much appreciated!" True Monarch Star said, directly handing over the map scroll.

Lu Xuanji received the scroll and analyzed its contents carefully. Inside were illustrations, materials, and specific methods, everything written in great detail, almost teaching you hands-on how to set up a teleportation array.

After a moment of analysis, he confirmed it without errors.

True Monarch Star then said, "Setting up a short-range teleportation array is low on material requirements, only needing Fifth Grade materials; as for cultivation, only the Nascent Soul Realm is enough. But to set up a medium-range teleportation array requires Sixth Grade materials, and a cultivation level of at least Divinity Transformation."

"For a remote teleportation array, able to transport across provinces, many materials are needed, requiring at least Seventh Grade. I won’t go into more details!"

"I have Fifth Grade Void Stone, Taiyi Divine Crystal, and Earth Spirit Profound Wood here, do you need these materials?"

First, selling the blueprint, followed by pushing materials, one link after another.

"I need them!"

Lu Xuanji replied, "But I have no spirit stones left. Is this acceptable?"

Saying this, he tossed over a gourd.

True Monarch Star opened the gourd and, seeing the spirit fruits inside, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

This was a Fifth Grade Longevity Fruit, capable of extending a cultivator’s life by five hundred years.

"Alright, alright!"

True Monarch Star said, "I need three Longevity Fruits!"

"I don’t have three, only two!"

"Two it is then!"

Thus, the transaction swiftly concluded.

True Monarch Star was delighted, having initially aimed to trade for one Longevity Fruit, yet unexpectedly receiving two.

Lu Xuanji also rejoiced, originally planning on using three Longevity Fruits to complete the deal, but managing with just two, he made a small profit.
