Chapter 921 Five Elements Coin(1/3)
"Fellow Taoist, do you need a carpool?"
After Xiao Yuli stepped out of the teleportation array in Beiyuan City, she met a kind-faced monk who asked her.
What is ride sharing?
Xiao Yuli looked confused. Seeing her expression, the monk immediately pointed to the bulletin board next to her.
[The ferry boat to the main city departs every hour, and each ticket costs ten five-element coins.]
"The last round of ferry boats has just been sent out. If you are in a hurry to go to the main city, fellow Taoist, you can consider our ox cart. It has a large space and is fast. There are only three vacancies. The ferry will leave as soon as everyone is gathered..."
After listening to a lot of words from the monks around her, Xiao Yuli finally understood what carpooling was.
As an alchemy monk, she should have flown over directly, but she was in an unfamiliar environment and the main purpose of coming here was to inquire about meeting Emperor Chen Qing, so she nodded.
"If I want to charter a car, what is the price?"
But Xiao Yuli didn't intend to go milking the bullock cart with the casual cultivators. Her question also made the monk soliciting customers look happy, thinking that this was a big customer from a family of cultivators.
"Xia Niu Jingfa, our ox cart has a total of twelve seats. The price is the same as the official ferry boat, but it is delivered to your doorstep. If you are a Taoist friend, if you charter the car, you can get a discount and just put it together, one hundred five elements.
Just coins.”
Niu Jingfa spoke boldly. Their Niu family is a recently rising immortal cultivating family. They mainly made their fortune when the Eastern Barren Plateau was opened. They specialized in helping the Five Elements Sect herd cattle and sheep, and accumulated the first amount of spiritual stones.
The ancestor of the Niu family discovered business opportunities while waiting for the ferry boat in a teleportation array. After opening up the relationship with the Five Elements Sect, he filled the gap between the ferry boat rounds and led the family's children to make a lot of money.
"What is the Five Elements Coin?" Xiao Yuli asked with confusion after hearing this.
"Fellow Taoist, must you be from outside the realm? This Five Elements Coin is a currency issued by the Five Elements Sect in the major fairy cities in the Eastern Wasteland. Every one hundred Five Elements Coins can be exchanged for a low-grade spiritual stone at the Five Elements Sect's Lingshi Shop.
, because we are doing a small business, so we basically use Five Elements Coins to settle the settlement. If fellow Taoist doesn't have it, just give me a low-grade spiritual stone."
As soon as Niu Jingfa heard Xiao Yuli's question, he knew that she was not an immortal cultivator from the Eastern Wasteland. As he spoke, he took out a coin with a round outside and a square inside from his storage bag. It was engraved with a fine five-element pattern and had a smooth edge.
It's hard, but also radiant with a layer of spiritual light.
"Exchange it for me for one hundred coins."
Xiao Yuli took out two pieces of low-grade spirit stones, one was for the chartered car and the other was for exchange.
Niu Jingfa immediately said hello, then took out a bunch of five-element coins tied with a rope and handed it directly to Xiao Yuli: "Guest, please wait a moment, the parking fee here is more expensive, I will dispatch your special car right away."
After Niu Jingfa finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Xiao Yuli instinctively wanted to stop him.
After all, according to the customs of Tianhe Realm, if you say this, you are basically a liar, and you must have taken the spirit stone and ran away.
But when I thought about it, it was only two low-grade spiritual stones, so I didn't care.
But to her surprise, a moment later, Niu Jingfa did come back with an empty six-wheeled ox cart, but the person riding the ox was a man with two braids that looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Female doll.
"Guest, this is my daughter Niu Manfeng. She was admitted to the Changsheng Academy last year. It just so happens that she is on summer vacation and she came here to earn some tuition..."
After Niu Jingfa introduced him, Xiao Yuli nodded and got on the bullock cart.
As Niu Manfeng waved the whip in his hand, the ox cart began to head towards the main city.
Guan Xiaolong, who was in charge of this teleportation array, saw Xiao Yuli leaving, and immediately picked up his Heavenly Instrument and reported the news.
Although Xiao Yuli was covering up, when riding in the teleportation formation, monks of different realms required different amounts of spiritual stones, so as soon as she appeared, Guan Xiaolong knew that she was a pill-forming monk.
Although the Five Elements Sect adheres to the principle that visitors are guests and will not specifically hold inquiries, it is still indispensable to pay attention to high-level monks.
After all, once the Danjie monk goes crazy, he can cause huge damage in Beiyuan City.
After Song Huangda, who was in charge of the China Unicom project, received the news about Guan Xiaolong, he immediately reported it to E Yun.
"Let's see where this fellow Taoist lives. When the time comes, I will send you a greeting card and tell you about the rules here in Donghuang."
Facing the unfamiliar Danjie monk, E Yun must have been wary, and he planned to meet him in person.
"yes."
After Song Huangda received the instructions, he left to handle this matter.
Xiao Yuli, who was still on the bullock cart, naturally didn't know that she was already being targeted by the Five Elements Sect before she reached the main city.
She sat at the window seat with the best view, observing the independent small courtyards along the way, as well as more high-rise buildings rising from the ground, while playing with the Five Elements Coin in the palm of her hand.
It is not that there are no sect forces in the Tianhe Realm who thought of creating a payment unit smaller than the low-grade spirit stones. For example, during the Eastern Earth Imperial Court period, there was a complete set of human emperor coins, and even relied on power to directly replace the spirit stones.
stone.
At that time, even major holy places were forced to use Human Emperor Coins.
But wherever there are people, there is corruption. The Eastern Tu Imperial Court used the authority of the Human Emperor to make money by issuing excessive amounts of Human Emperor coins. As a result, in the later period of the Imperial Court, the monks from top to bottom would rather barter than use it.
Human Emperor Coin settlement.
After the disappearance of the Imperial Court, there were also holy places that issued similar currencies in their own territories. However, because the spirit stones can be directly used by immortal cultivators, they are valuable. However, these issued currencies need to be affiliated with the authority of the holy places.
Just fine.
And even when the people of the Eastern Earth Imperial Court ruled the world, there were still people who were not afraid of death and minted coins privately, let alone the Holy Land.
Everything is feared by someone who is interested. Even if the currency is inscribed with the Holy Land's exclusive prohibitions and anti-counterfeiting, under the temptation of huge profits, there will be people in the Holy Land who betray these prohibitions, or even be cracked and studied by array masters, weapon refiners and others.
Come out, if this happens, counterfeit currency will spread on a large scale.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Holy Land must maintain its own currency, and even these counterfeit coins must be exchanged.
Even if they killed one person after another, the rogue cultivators were people who lived with their heads in their belts, and soon a new group of people began to secretly mint coins.
And many of them just ran away from the Holy Land after making a fortune.
After many times, the Holy Land also discovered that without the strength of the Eastern Land Imperial Court to suppress the entire East Continent, it was not worth the gain to engage in this kind of currency, so it quickly gave up on this.
Xiao Yuli, as a saint of the Yiyuan Dao Palace, heard these things from the Great Elder Wu Ming.
So she felt a little incredible when she saw that a mere Five Elements Sect dared to issue new coins.
This Five Elements Sect is indeed a rural sect, and it must have been something the upper management came up with. After a while, they will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming counterfeit money.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yuli picked up a Five Elements Coin. As a disciple of Yiyuan Dao Palace, her weapon refining skills were also top-notch, and she soon discovered the extraordinary features of this Five Elements Coin.
It is made of several different minerals and metals, and even broken spiritual stones are incorporated into it.
She tried to absorb the Five Elements Coin like a spiritual stone. Soon, a ray of spiritual energy overflowed and was taken into her body for refining.
After the spiritual energy in the Five Elements Coin was absorbed, the spiritual light on the surface disappeared, and cracks appeared.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuli looked shocked.
Because she discovered that the unsolvable problems of the Holy Land in the past seemed to have been solved by the Five Elements Sect.
The amount of spiritual energy contained in this Five Elements Coin is exactly equivalent to one percent of a low-grade spiritual stone.
Is this a coincidence, or does every Five Elements coin contain so much spiritual energy?
With doubts, Xiao Yuli picked up ten Five Elements coins again and absorbed them all. Sure enough, she found that the amount of spiritual energy in each Five Elements coin was exactly the same, without any difference.
How is it achieved with such accuracy?
Xiao Yuli looked confused. She knew that the Five Elements Coins were mixed with broken spirit stones. When these broken spirit stones were dug out from the spirit stone mine, the spiritual energy inside would soon be lost because the outer covering had been broken.
Although this process can be prevented by using bans, the only ones who can do this are at least foundation-building monks.
To divide these broken spiritual stones into equal parts with perfect precision and integrate them into the forged Five Elements coins, at least a third-level weapon refiner is required.
According to Xiao Yuli's understanding, the difficulty of refining a small five-element coin is the same as that of a third-level magic weapon.
With such effort and time, if you directly refine a third-level magic weapon, even if it costs money, it will be worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
Why waste your skills like this!
In confusion, Xiao Yuli threw a handful of five-element coins that had lost their aura and cracked out of the car window.
"If you collect 100 Five Elements Remnant Coins, you can go to the Five Elements Sect's Lingshi Shop to exchange them for one Five Elements Coin."
Niu Manfeng, who was driving the bullock cart in front, saw her wasteful behavior and couldn't help but remind her.
"Well, it's my first time coming to Beiyuan City, so I don't know about it."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuli nodded slightly, and then asked the Five Elements Sect why they wanted to collect discarded Five Elements coins.
"The materials of these Five Elements coins are special alloys developed by Chen Xianzun. After the Five Elements Sect takes them back, they can be re-smelted and minted into new coins. All they have to do is re-integrate the broken spirit stones."
After hearing Niu Manfeng's explanation, Xiao Yuli was even more surprised: "Is it easy to cast these Five Elements coins?"
"I don't know about this, but I heard from the teacher that in the Huozhen Immortal City in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland, there is a factory that specializes in casting Five Elements coins. Only the five elements sect refining masters with innocent wealth can enter the factory. There are
Many of the ultra-large equipment and magic tools refined by Chen Xianzun are specially used for casting Five Elements coins."
Under Chen Mobai's policy, students from various university palaces in the Eastern Wasteland hold an array master competition every year, so communication is very frequent. It is precisely because of this that Niu Manfeng can know the situation in Huozhen Immortal City.
At Huozhen Academy, because Tan Rong, a disciple of Sheng Zhaoxi, is in charge, the training of weapon refiners is the best.
After Chen Mobai researched the Five Elements Coin, he inspected various university palaces. Considering that she had the most refiners there, she built the coin minting factory there.
Of course, minting coins was a big deal after all, so he sent his cronies Yu Lian to supervise the factory.
For the Tianhe world, the technology of coinage requires the level of a third-level weapon refiner, but for the Immortal Sect, it is just a matter of assembly lines and equipment.
