For a Lower Cultivator, a Magical Artifact is like the difference between a fierce soldier of the Border Army with armor and a mount, and one without. They can create an enormous gap, and it's no exaggeration to say they can determine life and death, victory and defeat.
The older generation of Cultivators often used to say, "Cultivation is the rice, and a Magical Artifact is the stove."
As the saying goes, try to cook rice without a stove, and you'll end up with a pot of uncooked grain.
These words truly capture the essence of the matter.
"Cultivators below the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer are, to put it bluntly, nothing more than consumables for the Sect and its Dharma Lineage.
They are discarded once they're used up, and it's no great loss if they are destroyed. They can be replaced at any time."
Having served for many years in the Quenching Room on Red Flame Peak, Yang Xun had a clear understanding of the power dynamics between the Dharma Lineage and the Mortal Servants.
