Parasite (Gu) Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from the love-enamored Gu

"Thank goodness the City Lord Mansion called an emergency halt to the three-child policy recently, or else the population would have grown even more."

God Transformation Cultivator Xie Hui lamented.

Although cultivators with Spiritual Roots looked down upon such incentives, mortals felt differently; they greatly valued them.

And the main force behind reproduction were actually mortals.

Cultivators were generally a group of individuals who married and had children late in life.

Some cultivators wouldn't get married and have children until they were two to three hundred years old, and even when having children, they'd only have one or two.

So, relying on these people to increase the population of the Human clan was out of the question—it had to depend on mortal procreation.

After all, mortals had but a fleeting lifespan of merely a century.

Sixteen years constituted one generation for them.

And over the span of fifty years, they could completely experience three generations of population growth.

It was easy to imagine, then, how astonishing the reproductive efficiency of mortals could be.

If the policy had not been urgently stopped, it was feared that the population would have surged even more.

Of course, the reason mortals were willing to have children was not just because of the policy.

More importantly, the Mysterious Thousand Secret Realm was very safe, with no external enemies, enabling them to reproduce and care for children with peace of mind.

At the same time, the Mysterious Thousand Secret Realm had abundant resources; they cultivated vast quantities of Spirit Rice and had Desert Beast meat at every meal.

There was no scarcity of food and drink.

They could easily support a large brood of children.

That was why, during this period, the population of the Mysterious Thousand Secret Realm had skyrocketed.

"No wonder they need to clear new lands and disperse a large number of people."

"In the short term, the population increased by nine hundred billion; Fengxi Island couldn't withstand that kind of population pressure."

Wu Di was at a loss for words and didn't even know what to say.

He could only say that he had underestimated the reproductive capacity of mortals a bit—they weren't unwilling to have children; they were just not doing so.

Given a certain opportunity, they would suddenly explode in number.

To be honest, he too agreed with the City Lord Mansion's decision to clear new land.

If they didn't do it, even if Fengxi Island were large enough, it wouldn't be able to accommodate such a population.

This was, of course, a problem created by the City Lord Mansion itself.

Without such policies to stimulate population growth, there wouldn't have been such a massive surge in such a short time.

"But are the cultivators willing to move to other islands with only average Spirit Veins?"

Wu Di remembered clearly—the Spirit Veins of the other islands in the Mysterious Thousand Secret Realm were just average, at best having Fifth Stage Spirit Veins, nowhere near Fengxi Island's Eighth Stage Spirit Veins.

Why would high-level cultivators volunteer to go to places with scarce Spirit Veins, isn't that hindering their own path?

"This is not something to worry about."

"Have you forgotten? We have Spiritual Vein Flowers."

"The City Lord Mansion has distributed many Eighth-order Spiritual Vein Flowers, allowing them to be planted on all the major islands."

"So even if they're numerous barren islands, they will also have an Eighth Stage Spirit Vein presence."

"Therefore, even if one moves to another island, there is no need to worry about their cultivation environment deteriorating."

"Moreover, moving to other islands, one can have larger houses and own their own land."

"If one wishes to purchase treasures, they can always return to Fengxi Island; travel is very convenient."

"Therefore, many mortals are willing to relocate to other islands."

God Transformation Cultivator Xie Hui spoke solemnly, briefly explaining the reasons.

"In other words, even if one moves to another island, they can still enjoy the benefits of Eighth Stage Spirit Veins."

"No wonder so many mortals are eager to do so."

"The Spiritual Vein Flower really is full of endless mysteries."

Wu Di had a moment of realization.

If he were a mortal, knowing there were such benefits to moving to other islands, he might have already gone.

There was no need to stubbornly remain on Fengxi Island.

Though Fengxi Island was desirable, the cost of living was high, and not everyone could afford to live there.

Even those who could afford it might not live well.

Better to go somewhere else.

In his heart, he also marveled inwardly; everything depended on the Spiritual Vein Flower.

Without it, how could all the islands possess Eighth Stage Spirit Veins?

Such artificial Spirit Veins were truly miraculous and unfathomable.

He wondered where Elder Zhou had found such miraculous flowers of heaven and earth.

He could only conclude that the world was vast, filled with the most extraordinary things.

"Indeed, I wonder from what place Elder Zhou found such a miraculous flower of heaven and earth like the Spiritual Vein Flower."

"And to be able to cultivate it on such a large scale, too."

"The cultivators of other clans have to toil to find naturally formed Spirit Veins."

"But our Human clan doesn't need to do such things."

"Even the most barren lands could have an artificial Spirit Vein as long as one carries a Spiritual Vein Flower."

God Transformation Cultivator Xie Hui spoke with a touch of emotion.

He knew about the miraculous aspects of the Spiritual Vein Flower; they were unheard of and unseen before.

Even the many ancient texts of the Human clan had never recorded such a plant.

But this was quite normal.

The Human clan was merely a small clan in a corner of the Spirit World, only knowledgeable about their own patch of land.

How could they possibly know how many clans and Spiritual Medicines the Spirit World had nurtured?

Despite the prosperous development of the Mysterious Thousand Secret Realm, the Human clan as a whole was still very ignorant.

"Is there any way to buy a Spiritual Vein Flower?"

Wu Di asked curiously.

He felt that if he could also obtain a Spiritual Vein Flower, then no matter where he went in the future, he could have an artificial Spirit Vein, practically carrying an Eighth Stage Spirit Vein with him.

The benefits of such a thing were obvious to him.
