"That's right," Li Yang nodded. "Do you know why this card costs a thousand yuan for card making?"
Yang Feilong chuckled, "Do I look like someone who would know?"
This was indeed something he didn't know.
When he descended the mountain with his master before, he hadn't paid attention to such matters.
Moreover, he had seen card fees before, but never this high. A mere half-card cost a thousand yuan. If it were when he first descended the mountain, he would definitely not have gotten it. However, now, a thousand yuan was nothing to him, and he was too lazy to ask why it was so expensive!
"That's true!" Li Yang patted his head, then said with a smile, "This card can be bound to the official website of the Martial Artist Association. You can log in to the Martial Artist Association's official website then! Originally, the staff would have told you this when you collected your card later, but I'll tell you in advance!"
"The Martial Artist Association's official website?" Yang Feilong blinked.
"The Martial Artist Association is the largest martial artist association in our Dragon Country. It's said to be officially endorsed, so it has strong backing! In fact, there are branches in many big cities across the country, just that some places have more offices and some have fewer. In Xingyun City, there are several offices because the ancient martial arts atmosphere in Xinghai City is relatively strong, and there are more cultivators." Li Yang explained, "And in some cities, cultivators are extremely rare, so one office is enough, and some places don't even have an office."
Yang Feilong nodded.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, for the government, it was better to keep martial artists under control and in the open!
Otherwise, if left unchecked, there would be chaos everywhere, and the country would be in disarray!
However, Dragon Country had implemented a 'one country, two systems' policy for cultivators. The country generally did not interfere in fights between cultivators.
This was true in ancient times, and it was also true in modern times!
He hadn't seen the Martial Artist Association in Lan Hai City, which didn't mean it didn't exist, but he just hadn't paid attention to it before, and the number of ancient martial arts cultivators in Lan Hai City was far from comparable to Xingyun City.
"On the official website of the Martial Artist Association, every ancient martial arts cultivator, referred to as a martial artist, can log in with their identification number as long as they have undergone martial artist identification!" Li Yang explained. "As for your account, you'll know it after the test later! The account on your card is your account, and the password is your birthday. You can change it yourself later!"
Yang Feilong nodded, "So, the martial artist certificate is actually similar to an ID card!"
Hearing Yang Feilong's description, Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "You're right, the martial artist certificate is essentially an ID card! Every person's martial artist certificate number is unique!"
"Only with the martial artist certificate number can you log in to the Martial Association's official website. Once you enter the website, you can see some bounties, and you can also post some bounty missions! If you complete a bounty, you will receive the bounty reward. Similarly, if you post a bounty mission and someone completes it, you will naturally have to pay the corresponding bounty! This bounty can be money or items!" Li Yang said with a smile. "In addition, the martial artist certificate has some other functions, such as this card can also be used as a bank card, and it is very secure, allowing direct transfers and such."
Yang Feilong's eyes lit up as he listened.
When he refined pills, he sometimes lacked some rare spiritual herbs. Couldn't he obtain them through bounties this way?
"Actually, the bounties and missions posted by the officials are relatively standardized!" Li Yang smiled. "They are not omnipotent!"
"Standardized?" Yang Feilong nodded in understanding. "Not omnipotent? I understand."
Seeing Yang Feilong nod, Li Yang understood that he had grasped the hidden meaning in his words.
After all, this was a branch of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, a kind of official outpost, so some things were not convenient to say explicitly.
For example, if someone wanted to put out a bounty to have someone killed, such a thing could not be posted on the official website.
Yang Feilong was not an ignorant person and understood the reason for this situation. If such bounties were allowed, the ancient martial arts world would become a mess.
Of course, such bounties could be posted privately, as some people were willing to take on these shady jobs.
"Although the officially planned ones cannot be posted, there are some wicked individuals, such as flower thieves, murderers, or those who seek revenge on society. Such people will have official bounties posted for them, and the rewards are quite substantial upon completion."
Yang Feilong nodded. The country was the wealthiest, and of course, the power and wealth the country possessed to maintain social harmony and stability were unimaginable.
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the backyard. The yard was large, and some people were warming up.
"These people are warming up?" Yang Feilong blinked.
"This is to perform better during the test later!" Li Yang said with a smile.
"Huh?" Yang Feilong was startled.
"For example, if you are in the early stage of the Void Martial realm, but your attack doesn't even meet the lowest standard of a one-star, you naturally won't get a martial artist card!" Li Yang chuckled. "Of course, very few people fail to meet the standard, perhaps one in thousands."
"For example, if someone is at the peak of the True Martial realm and meets the standard of the early stage of the Mysterious Martial realm, would they be issued a three-star martial artist certificate?" Yang Feilong blinked and asked.
"No," Li Yang shook his head.
"So, as long as you're a bit better, it's fine?" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"Not exactly. If you can fight beyond your level, especially with significant leaps, you will receive special rewards and be evaluated as an Extreme Martial Artist!" Li Yang said with a smile. "This special reward can be treasures like spirit stones!"
"Oh? Extreme Martial Artist? Spirit stone subsidies?" Yang Feilong was surprised.
Many ancient martial arts cultivators knew the value of spirit stones. Using spirit stones for cultivation, whether for Qi refiners like Yang Feilong or ancient martial arts cultivators, their cultivation speed would greatly surpass normal cultivation!
"Yes, but Extreme Martial Artists mainly target those who reach perfection in each realm," Li Yang said with a smile.
"If someone reaches the Mysterious Martial realm, but claims to be in the True Martial realm, wouldn't they easily meet the standard of an Extreme Martial Artist and claim the reward?" Yang Feilong blinked and asked.
"It's not that easy. During the identification, the machine will detect your true realm," Li Yang chuckled. "And then it will assess your attack power for that realm!"
"I see!" Yang Feilong was enlightened. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Let me give another example. If someone is in the early stage of the Mysterious Martial realm but exhibits terrifying attack power, can they still become an Extreme Martial Artist?"
"Yes, but it's very difficult. For example, the peak of the Mysterious Martial realm requires an attack power of at least ten thousand. If you are in the early stage of the Mysterious Martial realm, you must also reach ten thousand to be considered an Extreme Martial Artist. This is too difficult. Only a handful of people at the peak of the Mysterious Martial realm can achieve this, let alone in the later stages or even earlier realms. It would be unimaginable!"
"I see!" Yang Feilong was enlightened.
He also felt very favorably towards Li Yang. Although this person had befriended him based on his talent, through their conversation, Yang Feilong found him to be someone worth befriending because he explained everything he asked about in detail.
"Brother Yang, this is the Mysterious Martial Realm Detection Room. You can go in. I can only wait outside," Li Yang pointed to a room not far away and said with a smile.
Yang Feilong looked over. It was labeled "Mysterious Martial Realm Detection Room."
"Okay, let's chat again after I'm done with the test!" Yang Feilong smiled. "Why don't you take your younger cousin for his test first?"
"Okay," Li Yang nodded, then took his younger cousin and walked forward.
