My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 603 - 206: How Many Troops Does This Upper Sect Have?_3

If it was a job in Daze Fang City, it clearly wasn't for him.

"The workshop has enough hands already," said Xu Youliang with a yawn. "These are outsourced missions, you need to leave this world and go to the still-sealed Eastern Continent. If you are above the True Power Middle Stage, doing this one job is equivalent to filling a sack with Spirit Stones and resources, and for several years afterwards, you wouldn't need to worry about resources for Cultivation."

The True Power Realm consists of three stages: Early, Middle, Late.

Corresponding to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Which means.

Daze Fang City aiming to hire Martial Artists in the True Power Middle Stage would essentially be inviting Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Moreover, the Li family ancestor himself was at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

With such similar strength levels, this could no longer be considered recruitment but rather a partnership.

The resources offered also did not seem like something Daze Fang City could afford on its own.

After some roundabout inquiries, Chen Sansi learned.

That it was originally a mission from the Shengyun Sect.

Shengyun Sect was a major sect with Golden Core Cultivators.

Only they could afford to hire Martial Cultivators of the True Power Middle Stage or even Late Stage.

And the goal...

Was to enter the Eastern Continent!

The Eastern Continent was still under a seal, and even if one could enter through a Transmission Array, there would be suppression by the heavenly laws. If one exceeded a certain level, they would immediately die within the seal.

It was said that the ancient ancestor from Qingxuan Mountain had once destroyed one of his Body Externalizations to prevent the reinforcement of the seal.

Given the current status of the seal, the highest level of Cultivators who can enter the Eastern Continent are at the Late Stage of Qi Refining and Perfection.

But this is in reference to Magic Cultivators.

Martial Cultivators don't have this restriction, at least not in the True Power Realm.

So, the Shengyun Sect was looking for Martial Cultivators above the True Power Realm through various Cultivation Families and scattered powers.

As for what they were going to do in the Eastern Continent.

Obviously.

They were searching for Spirit Veins.

And most likely, they had already found something. Now, they needed higher-level combat power to take action in order to ensure that no problems arise.

"Daoist friend."

Chen Sansi asked persistently, "Can you tell me in detail what we will have to do after going there?"

"You, my Daoist friend, ask a lot of questions," Xu Youliang said, gradually losing his patience. "If you're going, sign the Blood Covenant now, and instantly receive the materials for breaking through the True Power Realm. If not, then stay where you're welcome."

To sign a Blood Covenant...

Chen Sansi naturally wouldn't risk putting his life in someone else's hands.

It seemed these precious materials were going to be hard to come by.

Such is the life of a Martial Cultivator.

The demand for resources was even higher than that of Magic Cultivators. Even for True Power Realm Martial Artists, the increase in lifespan was negligible.

Speaking of lifespan.

After the cataclysm of the ancient times.

The lifespan of Cultivators now is as follows.

Qi Refining, 120 years.

Foundation Establishment, 250 years.

Golden Core, 500 years.

Even for a Martial Artist in the Late True Power Realm, it is still 120 years. Only after the next breakthrough would the increase in lifespan catch up with that of Magic Cultivators of equivalent realms.

For numerous reasons, fewer people in the Cultivation World practice Martial Arts; essentially, only those without a Spirit Root and with decent Martial Arts aptitude take up the path of Martial Cultivation.

Due to the short lifespan in Martial Arts,

Martial Cultivators often resort to any means for Cultivation resources, frequently involving violence and power struggles, which is why the reputation of Martial Cultivators in the Cultivation World is extremely poor.

"I'll think of another way," Chen Sansi thought to himself, turning to leave.

Just as he stepped out the door, a voice called out from behind him.

"Young brother, please wait a moment."

Chen Sansi turned around and saw an old man.

The old man appeared to be of a very advanced age, with a face like old tree bark, filled with wrinkles, high cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and a pair of murky eyes sunk into his sockets, somewhat dull and lifeless.

Only the seven-feet long, ten-inch wide rectangular Giant Blade he carried on his back proved that he was a Martial Cultivator and, moreover, a Martial Saint.

"Honorable elder."

Out of politeness, Chen Sansi gave a salute and said courteously, "Are you looking for me for some reason?"

"Young brother, were you just now looking for heavenly and earthly treasures to break through the True Power, but refused because it required signing a Blood Covenant in return for risking your life? Don't misunderstand."

The old man clarified, "Actually, I have a Jingshen Fruit at hand. Would you consider making a transaction with me, young brother?"

"Oh?"

Chen Sansi became interested, "Honorable elder, please elaborate. How many Spirit Stones are you willing to sell it for?"
