338: Chapter 338 July Domain

"Sit down and speak. I have some things to ask you," Chen Hu said in a gentle tone.

"Senior, please feel free to ask. This Junior will certainly tell you everything I know!" Hearing Chen Hu's gentle tone, Song Qiuhui understood in her heart that the Senior before her was likely not here to cause her trouble.

Chen Hu continued, "I have come from an outer domain and intend to settle in the July Domain. I would like to understand the situation in the July Domain, so tell me everything you know!"

"Yes!"

Song Qiuhui pondered for a moment before she began to introduce it.

The undisputed top power in the July Domain is the Seven Emotions Sword Sect.

The Seven Emotions Sword Sect also has a fairly good reputation, as their Disciples enjoy eliminating demons and defending the Dao.

After all, for Sword Cultivators, compared to Cultivation, combat allows their strength to improve faster.

And the best kind of combat is a life-or-death battle.

This is one of the reasons why the Seven Emotions Sword Sect likes to cause trouble for demonic Cultivators.

Besides the Seven Emotions Sword Sect.

There are also three major first-rate powers, seven second-rate powers, dozens of third-rate powers, and numerous unranked powers in the July Domain.

The three major first-rate powers are the Great Song Dynasty, the Haiyue Sect, and the Xuanyuan Family.

As for the seven second-rate powers, they include three Dynasties, two Cultivation Sects, and two Cultivation Families.

As for the third-rate powers, they include small kingdoms, Cultivation Families, Sects, Gangs, and so on.

Of course, the above are all local powers of the July Domain.

Besides these local powers, there are also the Treasure Pavilion, the Pill Fire Palace, and the Myriad Beasts Pavilion in the July Domain that one must not offend.

These three powers are forces that spread across many territories.

They are quite special; they do not occupy territory and only conduct business.

The Treasure Pavilion deals in Magic Treasures, Talismans, and forbidden treasures, while the Pill Fire Palace deals in Alchemists and Medicinal Pills.

As long as you are interested in Alchemy, you can pay to go to the Pill Fire Palace and learn Alchemy.

If you have considerable talent in Alchemy, you will even be invited by the Pill Fire Palace to become an official member.

Once you become an Alchemist of the Pill Fire Palace, you will have a background, status, and standing.

As for the Myriad Beasts Pavilion, they deal in Spirit Beasts.

Spirit Beasts are divided into seven ranks.

Each corresponds to the seven Realms of Cultivators.

A seventh-rank Spirit Beast has strength comparable to the Mahayana Realm.

As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, you can buy a few Spirit Beasts to keep by your side. When fighting, you can release the Spirit Beasts, and even if you were originally at a disadvantage, you can immediately turn the tables.

Of course, only Spirit Beasts below the Soul Transformation Realm can be purchased freely from the Myriad Beasts Pavilion.

For those at or above the Soul Transformation Realm, the Myriad Beasts Pavilion only sells them through auctions.

In addition to local and foreign powers, Song Qiuhui also told Chen Hu which Loose Cultivators must not be offended.

After all, the most numerous Cultivators in the Cultivation world are Loose Cultivators.

Although it is difficult for Loose Cultivators to Cultivate, they can still produce some powerhouses.

It is very difficult for a Loose Cultivator to become a powerhouse, which leads to most of those Loose Cultivator powerhouses having rather eccentric temperaments.

For this reason, Song Qiuhui gave a few examples.

For example, a Loose Cultivator whose Cultivation reached the Dao Integration Realm was originally a beggar.

Even after he became a Dao Integration powerhouse, he still likes to dress as a beggar.

If you were to offend or bully him because he is a beggar, the outcome would be imaginable.

The second example is another Dao Integration Loose Cultivator, who was originally a pimp in a brothel.

After he reached the Dao Integration Realm, he opened numerous brothels.

Moreover, he did not forget his roots and would guest-star as a pimp in his own brothels.

If you were to insult or offend him because he is a pimp, he would not kill you directly, but instead turn you into a woman and throw you into a brothel to serve guests.

Next, Song Qiuhui introduced a few more Loose Cultivator powerhouses with special hobbies.

Afterward, Song Qiuhui took out a map of the July Domain marked with the various powers and presented it to Chen Hu.

Chen Hu took it, glanced at it, and memorized it.

He then returned the map to her.

"Senior, is there anything else you would like to ask?"

"No!"

Chen Hu said. Afterward, he tossed a bottle of Medicinal Pills used for increasing Cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage to Song Qiuhui and disappeared from the practice room.

Seeing Chen Hu leave, Song Qiuhui let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Although she could tell from their interaction that Chen Hu was a good person, who knew if it was just a disguise?

Therefore, her heart had been on edge the entire time.

Fortunately, this Senior really was a good person; he only asked some questions and then left, even gifting her a bottle of Medicinal Pills.

Thinking of this.

She couldn't help but open the medicine bottle to check the pills the other party had gifted.

"It's actually Kaiyuan Pills!" Song Qiuhui felt very pleasantly surprised.

Kaiyuan Pills are Medicinal Pills used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators to increase their Cultivation. Even though she is the Old Ancestor of the Song Family, in order to maintain the Family's development, she can only purchase three Kaiyuan Pills each year.

She didn't expect that this Senior would give 10 Kaiyuan Pills right off the bat; she had really made a huge profit.

After Chen Hu left the Song Family.

He did not leave this city.

Instead, he found a restaurant, ordered some food and drinks, and while eating and drinking, used his Divine Sense to understand the basic knowledge of the Cultivation world.

Coincidentally, there was an Elder from another Cultivation Family teaching his Juniors nearby.

After listening, Chen Hu learned that in the Great Cultivation World, Cultivators generally use Spirit Stones, Spirit Sources, Spirit Medicine, and Medicinal Pills to increase their Cultivation.

Spirit Stones are both cultivation resources and currency.

Spirit Stones are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.

A better cultivation resource than Spirit Stones is Spirit Sources. Like Spirit Stones, these Spirit Sources are mined from mineral veins.

However, the Source Qi contained in Spirit Sources is easier to refine.

For example, refining the Spiritual Qi in a Spirit Stone takes 10 hours, but refining a Spirit Source only takes one hour.

Therefore, those who have the means will choose to use Spirit Sources for cultivation.

As for Spirit Medicine, it can be swallowed directly to increase Cultivation, or used to refine Medicinal Pills.

But relatively speaking, people do not directly consume Spirit Medicine for cultivation because most Spirit Medicine is poisonous. Although it won't kill anyone, it takes a lot of time to expel the toxins.

Furthermore, if you swallow Spirit Medicine directly and cannot refine it in a short time, the medicinal power will evaporate.

But it is different when refined into Medicinal Pills; the toxins are neutralized, and one stalk of Spirit Medicine can be refined into multiple Medicinal Pills. Taking them separately avoids wasting the medicinal power.

Of course, Medicinal Pills also have pill toxins.

You cannot consume them continuously; each time you consume some Medicinal Pills, you must spend a certain amount of time to expel the pill toxins.

After understanding enough.

Chen Hu paid the bill and then cast an escape light to head towards Xuanwu City.

In the Great Cultivation World, the currency for ordinary people is still gold and silver.

Just as he expected, with the presence of Spiritual Qi, crops are quite high-yielding.

Therefore, as long as the bottom-tier Mortals are a little diligent, they won't starve just by farming.

However, the bottom-tier people in this world are actually even more dangerous because there are Cultivators flying about.

Once powerhouses engage in battle and get truly heated.

Even if they are just slightly affected, ordinary people won't even leave a corpse behind.

Besides that, there are also demonic Cultivators, demons, ghosts, and monsters, etc.

Therefore, it is still quite difficult for ordinary people to live to a natural death.

Xuanwu City is a city within the territory of the Great Song Imperial Capital.

This city is the old capital of the Great Song Imperial Dynasty.

Moreover, before the Great Song Imperial Dynasty, three generations of Imperial Dynasties established their capitals here.

After thousands of years of development and repeated expansions, this city is even more prosperous than the current Imperial Capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

The population has reached a terrifying 300 million people.
