It is not known when the practice began.
I only know that the monks in ancient times regarded practice as the most private matter in the world, with a closed environment, closed system, closed region, closed personnel... In addition to the sparse population in ancient times and various inconveniences, they can be said to be real masters of the world.
But in modern times, changes in thinking and society have made practice relatively popular. After more than 30 years of spiritual recovery, the number of monks in Xia Kingdom has reached millions, which is much more than the sum of all dynasties.
And there is one more important question.
In ancient times, environmental changes and resource breeding all went through a long and full breeding period. The monks of the former Qin Dynasty enjoyed the resources of ancient times, and the monks of the Qin and Han Dynasties enjoyed the resources of the former Qin Dynasty. They were passed down from generation to generation. There are more resources and fewer monks, which can maintain considerable sustainable development.
what about now
After more than 500 years of the end of the law, it suddenly recovered, and a large amount of resources changed, but there was no foreshadowing and accumulation in the early stage. What the natural world has to face is an era of incomparably hungry and systematic cultivation of the whole people!
When You Yu raised this question, many people did not understand what he wanted to express.
"Disciple Leaving Mountain to set up his own family? There is no need for this. Our sect is booming. If you send it out for no reason, isn't it self-defeating and self-defeating?"
"Fenghuang Mountain has a vast territory and plenty of space, and there are still a lot of undeveloped areas, so it's completely livable."
"Now the disciples have been handed down to four generations, and the fifth generation will be ushered in soon. We old people have come from all over the world, but since the third generation, many children were born and raised on the mountain. It's home."
For a while, everyone was discussing and thinking secretly.
Although You Yu has already controlled the power of the mountain gate, it is inevitable that he will further eliminate dissidents, disrupt factions, and consolidate his position. Especially as You Letian grows up, it is not impossible to pave the way for his son to take over as the head!
"..."
You Yu looked at the messy hall with a gloomy expression, full of disappointment.
In fact, it is quite normal. Those who want to continue to seek the way have already gone to Kunlun. The rest are all people who have been tainted by power and wealth and have lost their fighting spirit and aggressiveness.
Helpless, he had no choice but to look at Xi Jun.
Xi Jun waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and said, "Actually, I have been paying attention to this issue for a long time. Now that the leader has raised it, I will make it clear."
He took out a jade slip and cast a spell, a blue light glowed from the jade slip and quickly enveloped the room.
In an instant, a large section of information emerged in everyone's minds.
"Since the establishment of Phoenix Mountain, there have been 9,435 disciples, including 6,435 from Houtian and 3,000 from Xiantian. Houtian's disciples distribute Xiaolingdan 12 pills (one bottle) every month, and a total of 100 catties of various low-grade ores every year. 12 pills of Great Lingdan are distributed monthly, and 300 catties of various intermediate ores are distributed every year. There are 150 managers in each hall, and 12 pills of Yiqi Dan are distributed every month, and 500 catties of various intermediate ores are distributed every year. Special materials such as elixir, psychic elixir, and high-grade ore are stored in the warehouse uniformly and need to be exchanged for contribution value. These expenditures are about 9,000 bottles of detoxification elixir, 2,700 bottles of beauty elixir, 10,372 bottles of quenching body elixir... 4,590 tons of various high-grade ores …”
Xi Jun is in charge of the business operations of Mount Phoenix, and he recorded the data in great detail, and continued: "As for our own industry, I only count the output value of the past three years.
Bohaikou Snake Island produced 25,000 bottles of Jiedu Dan in the year before last, 23,000 bottles in the year before last, and 20,000 bottles in the previous year.
Dongying Haimingzhu Water Mansion produced 6,000 bottles of Yangyan Dan the year before last, 5,500 bottles the year before last, and 5,000 bottles last year.
The mines in Yunnan Province produced 560,000 tons of various types of spiritual ore the year before last, 550,000 tons the year before, and 550,000 tons last year... "
He only talked about one-fifth of the large-scale information, and everyone was already in cold sweat.
"What about trade? What about trade? Aren't our business partners all over the country?" One person suddenly shouted.
"That's right, we are all over the country. But you have to know that in the monk trade, money is useless, and it is basically an exchange of resources. We exchange our own special products for their special products. Let's talk about the more commonly used, uh, exorcism pill. This pill It can kill evil spirits that invade the body. It is widely used in the practice world. It is mainly produced in Daoyuan, Maoshan and Lushan. The year before last, we changed 4000 bottles of exorcism pills, but last year there were only 3000 bottles. I asked the reason, Maoshan said there was a shortage of manpower, the Taoist said that the profit was reduced and the production was reduced; Lushan said that he was researching new products and was planning to eliminate the old production line. All of them are high-sounding, but in my opinion, they are the same as our problem... "
Xi Jun scanned the audience, with a bit of helplessness, said: "The raw materials are insufficient!"
"How could it be insufficient?"
Several second-generation disciples almost jumped up, and said one after another: "Didn't we open up a large number of plantations?"
"That's right, the one near the sandy ridge, the annual output of Sansevieria is over 10,000 tons, how could it not be enough!!!"
"well… "
Xi Jun sighed, and said: "It seems that the younger brothers are really fascinated by the good times, and even forgot how to make alchemy? No problem, I will remind everyone. Sansevieria is the core material of animal pills, which can be used to refine There is a huge demand for food to feed spirit beasts. The high-grade pills produced range from third-grade pills to low-grade pills, and the pills produced in each furnace range from six to twenty-four pills. Refined by innate disciples, the success rate of third-grade pills is ten furnaces To get three, the success rate of first-grade pills is eight out of ten furnaces. Twelve pills are a bottle, and we have more than ten thousand bottles every year for our internal needs. Also, don’t forget! When the first refining animal pills, That is the wild grass all over the mountains and plains, and one pill can last ten days. Most of them are planted artificially now, the growth cycle is greatly shortened, and the medicinal properties are also lost a lot. In order to meet the market, sometimes they have to be picked before they are ripe, and the refined pills are effective. Insufficient, consumption increases, and in turn, the demand also increases, resulting in a vicious circle!"
"..."
Everyone's backs were chilled by what they said, and they were silent.
Xi Jun let out a long breath, and said slowly: "There are too many people, too many people! Based on the output alone, the resources of our sect can fully meet the demand, but everyone knows that it is impossible to carry out 1:1 cultivation. The exchange. I used all kinds of ores to refine a magic weapon. I fought with people once, and if it broke, it would cost another thousand catties. And the market we are facing is not only millions of monks, There are more than one billion people. Low-grade ling rice, ling wine, ling tea, fruits and vegetables can be bought now if you have some connections. And the beauty pill, if I don’t suppress the sales, I can sell us in a month. The output of the whole year is all short!"
"..."
There was another long silence in the hall. After a long while, someone laughed dryly and said, "Brother, is it a bit alarmist? Although there are some problems now, if we all work together to find a way, we can definitely change for the better."
"Just treat me as a rainy day."
Xi Jun was noncommittal, cupped his hands at You Yu, and said, "Master, let's talk about the sect division now."
