The efficiency of incense cultivation is indeed very high, if one does not consider the merits and consequences.

This is a kind of energy produced by the ghost itself. Unlike other types of spiritual power such as ghost stone pills, it requires a process of conversion and absorption.

So there will be a situation like Chu Yang's. Some ghosts can advance to the level of fierce ghosts by virtue of their rich incense energy as soon as they enter the underworld, and then embark on the path of cultivation.

According to legend, there are many more powerful ruthless characters. Once they entered the underworld, they were appointed as ghost missionaries and ghost generals, and even served as judges and other underworld positions. They were highly valued by the underworld.

What's more, you can directly achieve the position of Yin God, and even the King of Hell will sweep the bed in the underworld to welcome you, and your status is quite respected.

Of course, these big guys are all extraordinary people with profound merits and are worshiped by thousands of households. They were already highly respected and respected figures during their lifetimes, and were respected by thousands of people.

Of course, ordinary ghosts cannot be compared with it. Not to mention mysterious and mysterious things like merit, just in terms of the number of incense, a family's offerings cannot be compared to those of thousands of households.

Therefore, each village can only collect a large number of ghosts through hunting, and then concentrate resources on certain individual ghosts to practice. Only in this way can they stand out among countless ghosts and become the strongest among ghosts.

But what they can plunder is only incense, and merit cannot be taken away by humans.

Therefore, the ancients advocated doing good deeds without letting others know about them and accumulating negative virtues.

Maybe others don’t know it, but merits and blessings will be accumulated there, and no one can steal or snatch them away.

Just like human wisdom, it ultimately belongs to you.

The act of plundering not only fails to gain merit, but also greatly damages the moral character and lays hidden dangers for one's own cultivation.

Therefore, many ghost cultivators have this concern. For example, Biro and other Wu clan ghost cultivators are not in favor of plundering incense for cultivation at will.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Those big forces in the north also need incense cultivation? They don't lack resources. Do they need to be so eager for quick success? Aren't they afraid of losing their merits?"

"Haha, of course they will not harm their own moral character, nor will they rob others of their incense... We are the plunderers. Even if we do not personally rob others of their incense, we are at least a group of messengers."

Lao Zhu smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Chu Yang frowned and said: "Aren't those big forces in the north the main messengers behind the scenes? They can't escape this causal relationship after all, right?"

Lao Zhu sighed softly: "I don't know, but maybe there is no entanglement of cause and effect, because those big forces in the north have always been dealing fairly with us, exchanging other resources for our incense, maybe there is some difference in price , but there has never been a hard grab..."

"Oh, they are actually so cautious? Can they really get rid of karma?"

"Perhaps, the big forces in the north operate this way, and the real plunderers are always us... Otherwise, there would be no room for survival for small villages like us."

"Oh, no wonder Gui Men Guan is restricted as a novice village by them, and neither of us is allowed to intervene here."

"Yes, the Guimenguan area is a resource collection ground. The major forces don't want to see any trouble here, as long as we can continue to provide incense."

"So, you small cottages and those big forces are actually in a cooperative relationship?"

"You can say that, but it's not that simple."

Lao Zhu began to patiently explain to Chu Yang.

"The big force behind us is called Banyue Mountain, and the incense resources we collect are basically traded to them, just like their agents in the Guimenguan area."

"The trading partners of other copycats are all different. Some have no fixed trading partners, and some, like us, have chosen a big force for long-term cooperation, which is equivalent to becoming the agent of this big force."

"But there are also various conflicts between the major forces, and there are also enemies and friends, so there is a competitive relationship between the agents."

"Some small cottages don't care about the competitive relationship between agents. They just work hard to hunt, collect and trade. This is equivalent to a cooperative relationship with big forces."

"Some small copycats will follow the orders of the big forces to attack the opponent's agents, snatch the opponent's prey, and even destroy the opponent's copycat, thereby causing the force behind the opponent to lose an income..."

"Even if this is a true surrender, it can be regarded as being completely tied to the chariot of a major force and becoming a force that must be eliminated in the eyes of the hostile force."

After listening to Lao Zhu's explanation, Chu Yang roughly understood the situation of small villages like Guimenguan. They were just a group of exploited coolies.

Incense is a good thing, but it has too many side effects.

The role of these low-level ghost cultivators in Guimenguan is to bear these side effects.

Once they have taken the blame, the big forces behind them can enjoy the benefits of incense cultivation with peace of mind, as long as they are rewarded with some resources.

It's like eating up the hunter's meat and then throwing the bones to the hunting dogs squatting outside the door.

Orions can still regard hunting dogs as partners, so how can those big forces care about the interests of small villages like Guimenguan?

Just for use.

After all, the leaders of small villages are only in the realm of ghost kings. In the eyes of big forces, ghost cultivators at the level of ghost kings are just pawns.

Chu Yang sighed slightly and asked again: "Then what was your relationship with Banyueshan before? Was it just cooperation?"

Old Zhu said quickly: "Yes, we don't plan to bet all our future on Banyue Mountain. In name, we are agents, but in fact, we can only be regarded as their exclusive supplier. We have never troubled hostile agents."

"A wise choice."

"In fact, everyone is not stupid. The benefits that can be obtained are so few in total, and they are basically obtained through incense trading. Who would easily go to fight with hostile agents? And risk offending another big force..."

"Yes, for the small mountain strongholds in the Guimenguan area, peaceful coexistence, stable development, and slowly doing this incense business are the most practical."

"But there are always some ambitious ghost kings who think that the speed of obtaining resources in this way is too slow, or they want to join those big forces, so they will work especially hard for those big forces, and do whatever those big forces ask them to do..."

"Haha, Tongsheng Ghost King is like this now."

Chu Yang suddenly laughed.

Tongsheng Ghost King has obviously surrendered to Bailing Pavilion, and for the matter of the artifact, he has become an enemy of almost all Guimenguan strongholds.

The consequences and costs are much more serious than being an agent.
