C879 Recruiting Wind and Cloud 1
A million Cultivator Army, this was a shocking number. One had to know that with the strength of a county, the two princes only dared to raise a few hundred thousand cultivators.
It couldn't be helped. Although the two prefectures were large and had a lot of resources, at least half of the land produced belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the remaining half was under the control of the prince. How could they compare with Lee Hao?
Outside the City Lord Mansion, a large group of cultivators were still gathered outside. They were all Golden Core Period warriors, and there were even a few Cultivator of Nascent Infant Periods inside.
The reason why they didn't want to leave so easily was simple. There were only a limited number of cultivators in the City Lord Mansion, and Lee Hao couldn't see them due to his anger. However, if Lee Hao wanted to see them again later, it would be a huge loss for them to leave at this time.
"Speaking of which, how many cultivators does Mayor Lee intend to recruit this time? One hundred or two hundred?" A Golden Core Period warrior asked.
"It's hard to say. Ten days ago, Mayor Lee posted a notice saying that City Lord Mansion is recruiting talents, but he didn't specify the exact number. I estimate that this time, they will recruit at least a hundred people." A cultivator replied.
"A hundred people? That's right. After all, City Lord Mansion didn't lack people. The amount of Spirit Stone they paid each year was a huge amount. Mayor Lee had just gained a firm foothold in the Fallen Immortal City, so he had no time to consolidate the resources in the Xianlin Mountain. It was already very rare for him to recruit over a hundred people at this time."
" That's right. According to the normal market price, an early Golden Core cultivator needs to pay five thousand Spirit Stone a year. A Great Perfection of Golden Core warrior needs ten thousand Spirit Stone, and an Early Nascent Infant Period warrior needs to pay a higher price. I need at least 50,000 Spirit Stone! In total, a hundred people needed to spend nearly a million Spirit Stones a year. In addition to the over 1,000 cultivators in the City Lord Mansion, just the cost of the Spirit Stone alone would cost tens of millions a year. This was the most basic supply of Spirit Stone, not to mention magical treasures and medicinal pills. All of these require a large amount of Spirit Stone. It won't be easy to raise an extra hundred people!" A cultivator sighed.
Everyone might feel that a Golden Core Period cultivator's yearly income of a few thousand Spirit Stones was a bit low. After all, Qi Condensation rogue cultivators had nearly a thousand Spirit Stones on them.
Things weren't calculated that way. The Spirit Stone on one's body was related to the income of the Spirit Stone, but it didn't have much of a connection.
Qi Condensation cultivators earned little, but their consumption was also little. Every year, they would still have around a hundred Spirit Stones left. Over ten years, over a thousand Spirit Stones wasn't rare.
As for Golden Core Period cultivators? Every year, they could have thousands of Spirit Stones. Over ten years, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones could be taken out.
Cultivators were not ordinary people. They would use as much as they could earn. When good steel was used on blades, the same applied to Spirit Stone.
Let's take magical treasures as an example! Even the most common low-grade magical treasure would cost several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, which was quite expensive. What would a rogue cultivator do if he wanted to buy it? He could only save money and buy enough Spirit Stone.
There was no way to pay in installments in Spirit Realm. Thus, cultivators could only save money during normal times and then purchase these precious items.
Magic treasures were only one of them. As for pills and other such, let's take the Foundation Establishment Pills used by low level cultivators as an example! It required over 10,000 Spirit Stone. However, using this pill could increase the success rate of Qi Refining Cultivators advancing to Foundation Establishment.
The difference between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was one level, but the treatment was heaven and earth apart. Rogue cultivators naturally had to prepare for a rainy day and store Spirit Stone for long periods of time in preparation for the use of critical moments.
All kinds of reasons led to the misconception that Golden Core Period's income was not low. In fact, it was not low.
Furthermore, cultivators had long lifespans. Living a few hundred years was like playing. Great Perfection of Golden Core also had a lifespan of 500 years. Ten thousand a year! Five hundred years had passed, and that was five million Spirit Stones!
...
At this time, another cultivator said, "But we don't have to worry. Now, the two princes have been defeated. What? At this time, another cultivator said. I heard that there are two large Spirit Stones mines inside, and they can mine hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones a day. If Mayor Lee is willing, he can raise another thousand cultivators."
" Forget it! It's not like you guys don't know about the current situation in Fallen Immortal City. Although Mayor Lee had destroyed the fleet of the two princes with four sword strikes, the Spirit Stone that Liu Family had accumulated for hundreds of years had all been used up. At this time, Mayor Lee doesn't need to accumulate more Spirit Stone. What if the two princes launch another massive attack? "
" According to my estimation, the reason why City Lord Lee Hao recruited people this time is to appease the cultivators of Fallen Immortal City and allow us to accept his rule. Otherwise, why would Mayor Lee recruit people? Is he full?"
"That's true! That's right!"
A cultivator agreed, "The most important function of the Fallen Immortal City is the market. If all the cultivators in the Fallen Immortal City reject Mayor Lee, who will come to Fallen Immortal City to trade in the future? If no cultivators are willing to come to the Fallen Immortal City, the decline of the Fallen Immortal City is an early matter. "
Discussions could be heard from the outside. At this time, the chief steward of City Lord Mansion, Wu Zimei, walked out.
"Miss Wu, what did Mayor Lee say?"
A cultivator couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and hurriedly asked. Compared to Lee Hao, who was a foreign cultivator, Wu Zimei, who was born and raised here, was more trustworthy and friendly.
"Fellow Daoists, please be patient!" Wu Zimei said with a smile. She ordered the two City Lord Mansion cultivators to post a notice outside the City Lord Mansion. They also posted a notice outside the ___. She said, "Although everyone's actions a few days ago have disappointed young master, he still decided to recruit some people. To strengthen the defense of Fallen Immortal City."
"Now, the recruitment plan for City Lord Mansion has been posted. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. Those who have decided to apply can wait for a while. Someone will come here to recruit everyone later. "
"But let me put it this way. Young Master has said that once you enter the City Lord Mansion, you must sign a contract to guarantee your loyalty to the City Lord Mansion. If anyone has doubts, no one will force you to participate."
As soon as Wu Zimei's words faded, Yun Yang immediately said, "Miss Wu, can I pay a visit to Mayor Lee?"
Yun Yang was looking forward to it, but he didn't intend to read the contents of the notice. He was the Cultivator of Great Perfection of Nascent Infant, the strongest cultivator in the Fallen Immortal City. He was also the patriarch of the Yun Family, and he represented an extraordinary combat strength. As long as he joined the City Lord Mansion, it could be said that the situation in the Fallen Immortal City had completely stabilized. It was a foregone conclusion that Lee Hao would become the City Lord.
Of course, even if Yun Yang didn't join, no one would be able to shake Lee Hao's position as the City Lord. However, one could imagine that if Yun Yang left Fallen Immortal City, many cultivators who didn't know about it would surely choose to leave.
The population of any city was the key. Furthermore, Fallen Immortal City was a city famous for its market. If the number of cultivators decreased, the income would be greatly reduced.
Yun Yang's attitude was understandable, but Wu Zimei wanted to laugh. Lee Hao's means was beyond Yun Yang's imagination. Putting other things aside, just the number of cultivators recruited this time was enough to scare Yun Yang to death.
Wu Zimei replied with a smile, "Senior Yun, young master just said that he is going to cultivate in seclusion. He didn't have time to receive any cultivators. If Senior Yun wanted to join the City Lord Mansion, he might as well wait for a moment and look at the notice first. Someone will come to recruit everyone later."
