Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Settling Down

"From now on, you will have an identity. When the time comes, the official mansion will recognize you. The only downside is that your identity will be limited to that of a villager in our village. You should know that one’s identity is also very important in the Cultivation World," Levi West said regretfully after seeing Peter Brown had bound the identity card.

Peter didn’t really care about his identity and smiled, "I think it’s quite good like this."

Levi West laughed and said, "Of course, you are a cultivator. As long as your cultivation level improves, your status can also be continuously upgraded. Overall, there’s no need to worry about this matter."

With a slight nod, Peter asked, "How far are we from the city? Is it a long way from here?"

Levi West replied, "It’s quite far. We are in a remote mountainous region. Even if I were to fly using sword riding, it would still take me a full day to reach. For ordinary villagers, it takes even longer. Some people in our village have never set foot in the county town in their entire lives."

"Is there no teleportation formation?" Peter asked.

Levi West gave a bitter smile and said, "How could our small village have such high-end facilities?"

At this point, Levi West said, "By the way, since you now belong to our village, it’s only natural to allocate you a piece of Spirit Field. Our village is remote with few people and plenty of land, so feel free to choose a suitable location."

Saying this, he handed a Jade Slip to Peter.

"On this slip, red markers represent occupied locations, while green markers represent unoccupied ones. Take a look and choose whatever piece of land you need."

After Peter’s Divine Sense entered, he found that as soon as he focused on a piece of land, that area would enlarge, making it seem as if he was standing on the very ground.

The Cultivation World was truly a place like no other!

"The spiritual energy is more or less the same here, and Spirit Fields need to be exploited by oneself, so there isn’t much difference between them."

Levi West added another sentence.

Peter chose a piece of land with a mountain behind it and a large open area in front.

Seeing Peter make his choice, Levi West said, "Our area has many Demon Beasts and wild animals. In particular, Demon Beasts often damage Spirit Fields without protection from formations. If you can afford it, it’s best to build your own formation. If not, you’ll have to rent one, which can be quite expensive. Also, don’t construct ordinary houses. Instead, save your money and buy a magic treasure house crafted by an Alchemist. Such houses will be safer against Demon Beasts and attacks from others."

Originally, Peter had wanted to build a house from bamboo and wood materials. After hearing this, he realized that his idea was somewhat impractical.

"Are Lingcao usually planted in Spirit Fields?" Peter asked.

Levi West chuckled and said, "In fact, the majority of people here are mortals. Lingcao is only used by cultivators and requires high-quality Spirit Fields. Furthermore, Lingcao take a long time to grow. If only Lingcao were planted, many families would starve. Therefore, the most common crops you’ll see here are Spiritual Grains and some Spiritual Vegetables."

Only then did Peter understand how similar this place was to Earth, where food was still a priority.

"How is the food transported to the city?"

"It’s divided into two parts. One part is the state grain, which is purchased uniformly and sent to the county city by me using a storage bag. The rest is up to the villagers’ willingness. Traders often come to buy from us, so there’s no shortage of them," Levi West explained.

Peter was once again speechless. The Cultivation World seemed so similar to the mortal society.

That’s it! He had pretty much grasped the matters of the Cultivation World. From now on, he had become a little farmer in the Cultivation World!

At this thought, Peter found it quite amusing.

"By the way, I’ve heard of people stepping onto Heavenly Dao from the mortal realm and reaching the Cultivation World. What kind of situation do they find themselves in after arriving here?" Peter was also curious about this.

Levi West nodded and said, "Yes, there are such people. However, our county has never seen any of them. There is an entrance for Heavenly Dao, and once they step onto it, they naturally arrive at the entrance location. There, a designated area is responsible for arranging their settlement. But I have heard that life isn’t easy for them. No matter how influential they were in their original places, once they arrive in the Cultivation World, they can only be considered as migrants. The things they bring are not valuable, and some of them don’t even have any resources with them. Those with skills can find a job, but those without any skills face a tough life. Anyway, they seem to struggle a lot."

"By the way, what are the prices of Lingcao?" Peter asked.

Levi West laughed and said, "It seems you are thinking of planting Lingcao. They are indeed valuable, at least more so than Spiritual Grains."

With that, he handed another Jade Slip to Peter and said, "This has the prices of common Lingcao, take a look."

Peter accepted it and started reading.

He quickly found some Lingcao that he possessed in the Jade Slip.

Lingering Grass, used for the refinement of Foundation Establishment Pills, was also planted by Peter because of its importance in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, after seeing the prices, Peter was speechless.

"Why is Lingering Grass only worth ten cultivation coins? Isn’t this the Lingcao required for the Foundation Establishment stage? As far as I know, it’s quite scarce!"

Levi West laughed and said, "Lingering Grass is the most common type of Lingcao and only used in the Foundation Establishment stage. Naturally, it’s not considered a rare Lingcao. Many large families can cultivate it in bulk. In fact, there are just too many people in Foundation Establishment stage in the Cultivation World. Although these people are highly regarded in Lower Realms, they can only be considered ordinary fighters in the Cultivation World. Of those who ascend to the Heavenly Dao, many are at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they are the lowest layer of the Cultivation World."

Peter sighed as he looked at the Lingcao in his ring which he had treated as treasures.

After reading for a while, Peter found information about the prices of magic treasures.

Upon seeing the prices, Peter exclaimed in surprise, "Why are magic treasures so cheap? How come these magic treasures that can break true qi only cost a hundred cultivation coins?"

Levi West smiled and said, "The Cultivation World has plenty of resources. High-level Alchemists only refine very advanced magic treasures, which are the ones that are truly valuable. The ones you mentioned, suitable for those below the Golden Core stage, can be refined by any Alchemist, so they’re not very valuable. There’s a joke where an ascended cultivator from the Lower Realm came well-prepared with a large number of Lingcao, magic treasures, and even collected various resources. Upon arrival, he thought he could lead a good life in the Cultivation World. However, selling all his items still couldn’t afford him a house, so he had to rent one."

"Couldn’t they just get a piece of land like me?"

Levi West shook his head and said, "Cultivation World has strict control over those who step onto the Heavenly Dao. They are considered outsiders, and the locals usually remain exclusive."

Peter was once again speechless.
