Lu Yao’s perspective moved over Salt City.
When it came to the development and trade circulation of new commodities, this place was the most professional.
A series of new tips popped up on the screen.
[Yanjiu invented a new profession: Martial Cultivator]
[Yanjiu wrote the Handbook of Cultivation]
[Yancheng created the Martial Cultivation Association.]
[Because of the Wishing Star, everyone in Yancheng has developed a fervent admiration for you, and their faith has been greatly increased.]
The upper right corner shows faith +35137.
The huge repercussions brought about by the Wishing Star were expected, but it was this series of personal struggles of Yanjiu that made Lu Yao a bit out of his depth.
He clicked on Salt Long in the words.
The screen jumped to the northern forest, the [Egil Volcano] area.
Salt Long was sitting on the cone of the volcano, surrounded by smoke.
Fire was burning on him.
The fire rose and retracted, as if Saltcue was breathing through the flames.
From time to time, there were passing fire elemental creatures in the surroundings, pacing fire bison, even flying and jumping fiery chickens …… But none of them attacked Salt Long, as if they recognised this human and saw him as a part of the volcano’s inhabitants.
Looking at this situation, it seemed that Yanjiu’s path of cultivation was still continuing, and he would further pull up the limits of the Pixel Villain of this era.
Lu Yao saw that there was nothing wrong with Salt Long, so he clicked on the Cultivation Handbook in the prompt bar.
A parchment scroll surfaced on the game interface.
The first line read.
“The wisdom of the gods is everywhere, I’m just guessing just a few words from the divine revelations, the transcendent realm is rugged and far away, the following is some of my personal experience, please correct and perfect it for those who come after me”.
……
Salt long summed up a simple route for humans to enter the transcendent realm.
[Theology] → [Martyrdom] → [Stigmata].
The theology stage required reading as many books as possible to learn about all kinds of knowledge, and making diligent pilgrimages to learn to comprehend inspiration from miracles and nature.
This stage is laying the foundation.
Martyrdom, on the other hand, is the formal beginning of the arduous path of cultivation, which requires a will to endure pain and a heart that does not fear death.
In spreading the well-being and beliefs of Yaoshen, the practitioner will also gain many new understandings and inspirations. At the same time, he would need to try to combine knowledge, faith, and power, and constantly challenge transcendent beings in a mortal body before he could evolve the stigmata.
At this level of stigmata, one will be recognised by other transcendent beings and will be able to spread the gospel of the gods to them, and will also gain a whole new level of power and more possibilities.
In his handwriting, Shiohisa stresses that cultivation involves perceiving the miracles and revelations of the gods, but it is also inseparable from spontaneous contemplation and travelling.
He has seen islanders who were so strong that they could fight man-eating crabs, and he has benefited from the learned discourse of hermits, as well as young children who may inadvertently speak a certain truth.
At the end of the day, Saltcue hoped that those who came after him would develop more transcendent paths in order to perfect and grow the entire human cultivation system.
……
Lu Yao read the handbook in its entirety.
Yanjiu was the first of the Pixel Villains to succeed in crossing the river by touching the stone, and he created the first human Transcendent Path standard of the Yao Clan, which he recorded and described.
Based on this, the transcendent profession of [Martial Cultivator] arose.
The Martial Cultivator Association was located behind the Citizen’s Council, a square stone house that wasn’t very spacious.
Lu Yao clicked into it.
From the overhead view, he saw that there were only three people in the guild.
A front desk worker, an ascetic, and a scholar.
The front desk villain said, “Since both of you have applied to join the Guild, allow me to make a routine introduction first.”
“The Martial Cultivation Guild is an organisation of Salt City founded by Prophet Shi Bao and Mr. Yanjiu and established with funding from the Citizen’s Council with the aim of cultivating Transcendents belonging to the Yao Clan and to aid in the further development of Salt City. There are currently seven registered Martial Cultivators in the Guild, all of whom are cultivating in various places.”
“According to the Guild’s requirements, applicants need to have at least [Theology] ability. If one has [Theology] they will receive a fixed annual allowance, and if they are a [Martyr], they will receive full reimbursement for free lodging, food, and recuperation in the Salt City.”
The ascetic said, “I am in the ascetic order and have mastered these two abilities.”
Lu Yao clicked on this villain.
It turned out that this guy actually had neither [Theology] nor [Martyrdom], and had been a swindler in his personal history.
The Bitter Sisters were now a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there was actually a subsidy swindler that had popped up.
Lu Yao raised his hand and gave him a lightning bolt.
The fraudulent ascetic was immediately sent flying into dust, leaving only a black trail on the ground.
An exclamation mark appeared on the heads of both the front desk villain and the scholar.
The scholar was the first to react, and he knelt on the ground, “This is divine punishment, Lord God has punished the dishonest person …… Lord God Yao gazes at us.”
The receptionist also knelt on the ground and prayed.
Lu Yao noticed at this time that the scholar’s name was [Iron Plug].
It was one of the quartet of scholars who had previously carved the warning wooden sign in the Dragon’s Nest, and it was him who was responsible for shorthand writing on the Dragon’s Nest at that time.
At this time, [Iron Plug] had already reached the age of 36, entering middle age.
In addition to having [Theology] on him, he also had a rare ability.
……
【Sketching LV2】：Excellent at drawing objects light and dark with lines, and has a certain chance of drawing special sketches.
……
After finishing his prayers, Tiese flipped out a parchment scroll and handed it to the receptionist, “I graduated from the Puji Theological Seminary as an official scholar, and this is a certificate signed by the Pill Spoon Prophet himself.”
The receptionist looked at it, “Ohhh! Sure enough, you are a genuine scholar! The Prophet spoke highly of your [theological] attainments ah, and you’re also a very talented painter and cartographer ……”
“However, according to the rules, since you have only mastered theology, you can only receive a flat daily allowance.”
“Okay, understood.”
“Another thing is that every year the association will arrange certain tasks for each martial cultivator, please also complete them on time.”
“Also martial cultivators usually need a partner, and according to Mr Shiohisa’s experience, it’s best if the partner is a scholar or a pharmacist. Do you have a partner who works together? If not, we can contact them for you.”
“No need, I have a companion.”
After completing the registration and picking up the quest, Tie Sai went outside to meet up with another person.
His companion was the Sour Raspberry Discoverer that Lu Yao hadn’t seen for a long time, Nong Greed.
Nong Greedy was even older now at 53 years old, turning from a gourmet teenager into a gourmet uncle. He rode a huge Fighting Spade Armour, which was quite eye-catching in Salt City.
“Mr Nong Greedy, I got my advance subsidy, so I can go to the south now.”
Tiese carefully climbed onto the back of the bucket and spade armour.
Nong Greed said, “Sit tight.”
The Fighting Spade Armour fluttered its wings and took off, making its way to the south.
……
The development of Salt City is thriving, and I wonder how Yao City is doing.
Lu Yao jumped the viewpoint.
As soon as the screen appeared over Yao City, a prompt popped up in the simulator.
[The Temple Society has invented a magic potion: Anaesthetic Juice]
[Because of the Wishing Star, everyone in Yao City has developed a fervent admiration for you, and their faith has been boosted drastically.]]
……
Faith +35002 in the upper right corner.
Years of research and repeated experiments by the Temple Guild had finally allowed the first magic potion to make its official debut.
Lu Yao’s faith reserve also broke through the 170,000 mark.
Below the tip bar there was also.
[Everyone in the Yao Clan is incredibly convinced that they have crossed over into a new era under the revelation of the gods.]
–You have named it the ____ Era.
Lu Yao typed two words without hesitation.
A line of subtitles surfaced on the screen.
[Your believers have built cities out of stone, witnessing the change of epochs and the rise and fall of many ethnic groups.]]
[Transcendent powers have begun to emerge, theology and magic potions have birthed new buds, and diplomacy, theatre, painting, brewing, animal husbandry, and political philosophies have all developed greatly in this era.]]
[The epic of civilisation that you have created will be written from here, and brave believers will come out of their urban swaddling clothes to gradually understand their significance in this world.]
[The Yao entered the Age of Transcendence.]
One by one, the pixelated little people’s heads sprang up with smiles and loud cheers.
“Great and honourable Yao God, thank you for your revelations and gifts!”
“Wow! Will we have incredible power too?…… It’s really a dream!”
“This is the most hopeful era! This is the age where everything is possible!”
“This time, we will no longer fear and run away! We will also enter the transcendent realm!”
Looking at the little people’s fighting spirit, Lu Yao couldn’t help but smile as well.
