Because the demand for money is so great, cultivators, after their Foundation Establishment, start to attempt cultivating one or two cultivation techniques, hoping to earn some extra income.
After all, raw materials are cheap, and they are not hard for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment to obtain.
If they can produce and sell the goods themselves, that's also quite good.
However, cultivation techniques also require talent and understanding, and they will take up a lot of the cultivator's time and energy, so not everyone can learn and excel at them.
But if one truly has talent, mastering any of the four skills of alchemy, weapon forging, talisman drawing, or formation setting to a high level indeed has the potential to earn ten times more than an average cultivator of the same stage.
Take the Li Family, a cultivation clan known for elixirs; a single alchemy master can earn an amount of Spirit Coins in one year that equals half of the entire family's income!
