Chapter 42 Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union

Lu Ye watched the spirit light emanating from the bodies of the cultivators coming and going for a while, then compared it to his own, roughly estimating the cultivation realms of these cultivators.

Generally speaking, there were many at Spirit Stream Level 2 and 3, fewer at Level 1, and most of them were independent cultivators.

Although it only required reaching Spirit Stream Level 1 to qualify for cultivation and travel on the battlefield, if a sect had the resources, they naturally waited for their disciples to attain a higher level before allowing them to leave the sect, thus giving them a better chance of survival.

For those independent cultivators, however, with no backing, the battlefield, although dangerous, was filled with opportunities. If they wanted to live comfortably, they naturally came out to struggle early.

This was somewhat akin to the difference between the children of poor families and those of rich families.
