Chapter 153: The Money That Was Before
"The problem is, I don't know how to ask for help. Jiu Ze spread his hands, "Besides, that senior seems to be aware of all kinds of situations in Bailao Mountain at any time, so if she is really willing to help......
Saying that, Jiuze raised his eyebrows at Rong Miao and the others, with a "you know" expression.
"That's right," Rong Miao touched her chin, "Then let's rest for a while and go out." ”
"Good. Qi Xiuhan agreed.
"Hmph, little broken girl. Huan Mi turned over, facing the entrance of the cave, his expression was not friendly.
Is she so cheap? She doesn't even want to ask her, thinking that she will definitely help when she is in danger?
Think beautifully!
Relying on the fact that he is the heir, he plays tricks with her.
Hum!
Huan Mi waved his hand and put away the water mirror, and his figure disappeared in place.
In the talisman tower, Rong Miao was injured on his body, and after talking for a while, he continued to breathe.
Qi Xiuhan was only depleted of spiritual power, and most of the time had recovered in such a while, and at this time, he was holding a few jade slips in his hand and looking at them carefully.
Jiu Ze glanced at Qi Xiuhan and stopped talking.
"Seventh Senior Sister, is there something wrong?"
Jiu Ze nodded, "Fourth Senior Brother, I want to ask if you know the spirit stone?"
When Qi Xiuhan heard this, he put down the jade slip in his hand and said softly, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Jiu Ze recounted the scene of the spirit stone clusters he had seen in the cave before.
"I thought about it for a long time before I remembered where I seemed to have seen such a thing as a spirit stone. ”
"Senior brother, do you know the purpose of this spirit stone?"
This is the question that Jiu Ze has wanted to ask since he saw the spirit stone.
Since in other similar novels, the spirit stone has always been used as a circulating currency, why did the author not mention it in this book, but set up such a thing as the spirit stone in the link of Bailao Mountain.
Could it be that during the period in which she lived, the spirit stones had not yet been given a monetary value? If that was the case, maybe she could propose the cause of mining spirit stones, and then balance the value standards of spirit stones and establish a monetary system based on spirit stones.
And all this must be led by the sect, so that the Huayang Sect, as the setting of monetary standards, will further improve its status in the Mingguang Realm.
Not bad.
After Kusawa learned that Lingshi was used as currency in other novels, he had a hazy idea, and these days, this idea is gradually taking shape.
"The use of spirit stones," Qi Xiuhan muttered, his voice was warm and kind, "There are many uses, and they were once used as coins." ”
"Click. ”
The beautiful vision in Jiuze's heart was like shattered glass, shattered to the ground.
"As a coin?" Kusawa confirmed unwillingly.
It turns out that it has not been adopted, but has been eliminated?
"That's right," Qi Xiuhan didn't know what Jiu Ze was thinking, and affirmed: "The spirit stone has been used as a coin for 10,000 years, because it has spiritual power, it can be used in swollen occasions, and even used to replenish spiritual power during battle, or to speed up the speed of pranayama, if you put high-purity spirit stones around during cultivation, the speed of cultivation can also be doubled within a certain period of time, so spirit stones are very popular among cultivators." In order to facilitate the collection, the spirit stone was simply circulated as a coin. ”
"Then why will it be replaced by the current spirit coin?" asked Jiuze.
Qi Xiuhan didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Seventh Senior Sister, if you need to increase your spiritual power in your cultivation now, what method will you use?"
"Soul Trap. Kusawa replied.
"What is the most convenient and least expensive recovery method during the competition?" Qi Xiuhan asked again.
"Use the Soul Talisman. Jiu Ze replied, "The spirit talisman can be activated directly to replenish half of the spiritual power, as long as there are five spirit coins, it is cheap and fast, and the effect is good." ”
Qi Xiuhan nodded, and asked again, "Do you need an external force to drive you by flying magic weapons now?"
Jiu Ze shook his head, "There are flying magic circles on the flying magic weapons, and you only need to recognize the master to drive them as you like." There is no need to rely on external forces. ”
Qi Xiuhan smiled and nodded, "You see, the places that used to need to use spirit stones now have more convenient alternatives, and the demand for spirit stones is naturally so strong." ”
"I see. Jiu Ze sighed, and admired these cultivators in the Mingguang Realm for being able to make such a reform.
Qi Xiuhan read Jiu Ze's expression, "Don't you admire the person who made such a change?"
Jiuze nodded.
"That's because the aura of the Bright Light Realm is drying up day by day. Qi Xiuhan said, "In the Mingguang Realm, spirit stones are usually condensed into mineral veins. And this spiritual vein is the main source of the spiritual energy of the Mingguang Realm. ”
"After 10,000 years of mining, the consumption of the spiritual veins is huge, and without the nourishment of the spiritual veins, the spiritual energy of the Mingguang Realm is becoming thinner and thinner. ”
"More than 900 years ago, there was a great power that speculated that if this situation continued, within a thousand years, the Mingguang Realm would slowly degenerate into a mortal realm due to the thinness of spiritual power, and all cultivators would stagnate their cultivation until they fell because they could not adapt to the depleting spiritual power. ”
At that time, the response given by this great power was to call on a large number of cultivators who were stagnant at the peak to sacrifice heaven and earth in a self-determined way, because in the Mingguang realm, there is a general consensus among cultivators that if it is because of the fall of a cultivator, his lifelong cultivation will turn into aura again after his death, and return to heaven and earth, which we call returning to the spirit. That great power wanted to use this large-scale way of returning to the spirit to release the spiritual energy again and slow down the loss of spiritual power in the Bright Light Realm. ”
"Theoretically, this method can produce certain effects in a short period of time, but it is ultimately a symptom rather than a cure. Qi Xiuhan sighed, "It's just that at that time, everyone didn't seem to have any other way, so some of the great powers really agreed to this proposal, and it is mentioned in the record that a sacrifice ceremony was held specifically for this sacrifice at that time." ”
"The purpose is to spread and inherit this spirit and concept, and exchange the sacrifices of peak power from generation to generation for the living space of the new generation of cultivators in the Mingguang Realm. ”
Jiuze was shocked by such a move.
"Fortunately, at the last moment, this sacrifice was stopped," Qi Xiuhan's tone was full of joy, "It is said that a high-ranking elder could not bear to see the great power sacrifice like this, and took this time. ”
For the next two hundred years, the elder did not move, but no one dared to urge him. ”
"It wasn't until six hundred years ago that the elder reappeared and proposed a series of reform strategies, including the improvement of the non-spiritual transformation of the talisman, the recycling and regeneration protection measures of the spirit stone, the expansion and innovation of the use of the formation, and so on. The names of these plans were all proposed by the elder. For a time, the top array mages, talisman masters, and well-known sages in the Mingguang Realm gathered together to develop innovative talismans and the use of formations. ”
"In the end, we researched the formations and talismans such as the Spirit Attraction Array and the Soul Talisman. The use of some spirit stones was reduced, and everyone saw hope, and finally gave up the idea of sacrifice completely. ”
"Later generations of innovation and reform, gradually found that it is possible to create a circular array, use a small amount of spirit stones to create spiritual power, and then continue to regenerate it, so as to supply large formations, such as the teleportation array we use now, you can use the power of the formation, instead of external forces such as spiritual power to drive flying magic weapons, you can improve the talisman to speed up yourself, and so on. ”
Qi Xiuhan sighed as he spoke, his face full of reverence: "In this way, the use of spirit stones is becoming less and less, the spiritual veins are also protected, and the spiritual power of the Mingguang Realm is gradually recovering. Two hundred years ago, the spirit coin was quickly accepted by everyone after the trial issuance, and since then it has officially replaced the spirit stone and become the new circulating currency. At the same time, the major sect families also promulgated laws prohibiting individuals from mining, using or selling spirit stones without permission, and strictly prohibiting the circulation of spirit stones in the Mingguang Realm in any form and means. The exploitation of the spirit vein has also been severely restricted. Spirit stones are no longer a symbol of wealth, nor are they a necessity of life. Officially out of the monk's sight. ”
"That's why the spirit stone is so strange to you. ”
Jiu Ze looked at Qi Xiuhan and admired: "Senior brother is really well-read. ”
Qi Xiuhan smiled lightly, "I'm two hundred and thirteen years old now, what is so strange about knowing more than you?"
Seeing Jiu Ze's surprised expression, he said with a smile, "Don't look at me as late as the third senior sister, but I am actually older than her." ”
"How much bigger can it be," Rong Miao opened her eyes and said, "I'm almost two hundred years old." ”
"Well, it's coming, less than thirty years to go. Qi Xiuhan said with a light smile.
