Chapter 943

"These are all humans who migrated from other worlds."

"Basically, they haven't stepped onto the path of cultivation yet. At most, they are martial artists who have shattered the void."

"This kind of strength is considered an expert in a small thousand world, but in Shushan, it is basically impossible to survive independently."

"However, these people basically belong to the kingdoms where Shushan inner sect disciples are located. In essence, they are also seekers of immortality waiting for Shushan to open the mountain to accept disciples."

"Therefore, for the time being, they all live in Shushan City, working in Shushan City to exchange for some cultivation resources."

Hearing this, Himeko pursed her lips, and couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.

To put it bluntly, this is the world of cultivators, and a group of ordinary people live here...

"Don't worry, they are still quite safe in Shushan City."

Old Yang naturally knew what Himeko was thinking and said with a smile:

"Although they are all ordinary people and cannot be counted as cultivators, they are not without a backer."

"The people working in these auction houses are from Liyue and Fontaine."

"They are indeed all ordinary people, but Liyue and Fontaine are not simple."

"The high-level officials of these two human kingdoms were the first batch of people to join Shushan."

"Among them, the Geo Archon from Liyue, the Liyue Geo God, is now the most powerful master of Shushan, Master Seeing Zhongli."

"Liyue's cultivators are also the most numerous at present."

"Just the core disciples number in the double digits, and there are also Senior Sister Lady Ningguang and others who have a good relationship with the master, plus the guardian immortal of Liyue, Master Miss Ganyu, who is the master's wife."

"Naturally, no one dares to touch these people."

"As for Fontaine, besides many core disciples, there are also two elders."

"One of the elders is the one I mentioned before, the descendant of the Violet Gold Dragon clan, Elder Neuvillette."

"The rest, Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, Snezhnaya... and even the Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, World Serpent, etc., from our Honkai world."

"The humans who came to the cultivation world to live are all geniuses from these forces."

"It's just that Shushan opens the mountain once every hundred years to accept disciples, so these people are temporarily staying here waiting for the next opportunity."

"The major spirit races are also very clear about this, so as long as these people don't venture out of Shushan City and encounter fierce beasts without intelligence,"

"basically, there will be no danger."

Herta was enlightened and said somewhat strangely:

"The cultivation world also has a unique society."

"That is natural. Where there are people, there is Jianghu."

Otto said with a smile:

"Mortals have the society of mortals, and cultivators have the society of cultivators."

"To put it bluntly, when you go out to mix, besides looking at strength, you also have to look at the background."

If you say so, it is easy to understand.

After all, in the Star Rail universe, everyone present is also an existence with a scary background. ===== CHAPTER 944 =====

793. Asta: Is the Currency in the Cultivation World Not Unified?

"Fresh Sweet Spirit Grass! Core spiritual medicine for the Evil-Dispelling Pill! Only one spirit coin!"

"Come and take a look, Three-Yuan Spirit Talismans for sale cheap! One hundred sheets for ten low-grade spirit stones! Sold in bundles, no retail, no bargaining!"

"Small Spirit-Gathering Array Disks, one hundred low-grade spirit stones each! Limited to ten, first come, first served!"

"Foundation Establishment peak fierce beast leg bone, ten thousand spirit coins!"

Following Otto and the other, everyone walked all the way to the innermost part.

After walking past several hundred meters of counters, what came into view were countless cultivators of various forms sitting cross-legged and shouting.

From time to time, someone would make a purchase, and they could even bargain.

It was like a large market.

Having walked together for so long, they were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning. Seeing this, Asta asked curiously:

"Is this also a market for the auction house?"

"Strictly speaking, it belongs to the auction house area, but it is not the auction house's market."

Old Yang smiled and explained:

"This was proposed by Senior Sister Lady Ningguang based on the internal disciple trading market of Shushan, creating a market in a fixed area of the auction house."

"Those who set up stalls and trade here are basically some loose cultivators or cultivators from the spirit clans."

"The auction house only charges them ten percent of their transactions as a venue fee."

"Every time there is an auction, there is a lot of traffic and powerful cultivators, so many cultivators come here to set up stalls."

Asta realized and said again:

"But I heard just now that there seem to be many currencies in the cultivation world, spirit coins and spirit stones?"

"Strictly speaking, the only currency in the cultivation world is spirit stones."

Otto explained:

"Spirit stones are essential wealth for cultivators; the spiritual energy within them can not only be used as the core drive for many arrays but also for cultivation."

"Low-grade spirit stones are used by ordinary cultivators; high-level cultivators need higher-level spirit stones."

"But here, you will rarely see mid-grade spirit stones or above."

"As for the so-called spirit coins, they are used for transactions by ordinary people in this world."

"Spirit coins and spirit stones are not interchangeable; spirit coins are special currencies made of various minerals, produced by disciples within Shushan and circulated outside."

"They are used to trade for some items that are not enough to reach the cultivation level."

"For example, some martial arts techniques and materials at the martial arts level."

Herta nodded thoughtfully and said softly:

"Currency used by mortals?"

"That's the idea. After all, spirit stones are things that only cultivators can use; if ordinary people get them, they basically cannot utilize them."

Old Yang explained patiently:

"If used rashly, ordinary people will only be blown up by the spiritual energy."

"Moreover, spirit stones, as resources for cultivators' practice, are extremely valued by cultivators."

"It is too dangerous for ordinary people to have them. The principle that 'an innocent man is guilty of his treasure' is universal in the cultivation world, and even more serious, with incidents of killing for treasures."

"Even with Shushan watching, it's not like it won't happen."

"After all, Shushan maintains the stability of the overall world and won't care about such small matters."

Everyone clicked their tongues in secret, and Himeko sighed:

"It really is both realistic and cruel."

"This is the cultivation world."

Otto smiled meaningfully.

"The cultivation world is inherently a cruel place."

"For cultivators, cultivation resources are the most important, concerning practice, longevity, and power."

"If you also cultivated immortality, you would understand what cultivation resources mean."

"It is no exaggeration to say they are the second life of a cultivator."

Ruan Mei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"Can we buy some?"

794. Otto: I'll Also Invest in the Geniuses of Star Rail

"You want to buy items from the cultivation world?"

Old Yang looked at Ruan Mei with some curiosity, and the latter nodded, saying softly:

"My laboratory has many precious items from the Star Rail universe; they should have some value."

Otto said casually:

"If it's spirit coins, there's no need; we'll just give you some, anyway, they are circulated from within our Shushan."

"What about spirit stones?"

Ruan Mei asked, and Otto said decisively:

"No."
