174 Two kills and two rewards

"From today onwards, in the Ascension Realm, if there is anyone who uses the Soul Devouring Array without authorization, kill!"

"From today onwards, in the Ascension Realm, anyone who hides the Soul Devouring Array without permission will be killed!"

"Anyone who takes the initiative to hand in the Soul Devouring Array will be rewarded with 20 spirit stones and a flying sword."

"Anyone who knows the method of breaking the Soul Devouring Array will be rewarded with a Void Stone!"

Less than a day after Samadhi Zhenren left, the news of the two kills and two rewards had already spread throughout the Spirit Island. The atmosphere on the whole island suddenly began to become subtle.

This change made Yan Xiu feel a little uneasy, today he walked around the island, and he already felt that the atmosphere on the entire island seemed to be a little different from what he imagined. He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, so he could only ask the search and rescue team - like Wu Xiaoqing, in the subconscious, Yan Xiu felt that the search and rescue team could solve everything here.

Being able to think of these two kills and two rewards shows that there are still some capable people among the nine major factions. If this order had been ten days ago, or even four or five days ago, when *it had not yet begun to attract attention, this policy would have achieved good results - they had brought over more than 20,000 products so far, and according to a calculation of 20 spirit stones, they would only need to spend 400,000 spirit stones to eat all of them*.

400,000 pieces sounds like a lot, but according to the information collected by the search and rescue team, the storage of spirit stones of one sect in Qianyangmen alone exceeds eight million. A whole eight million batteries! Of course, these batteries will not be piled up in a warehouse like bricks, but will be distributed in the hands of each disciple in Qianyangmen, which now has more than 7,000 disciples, and on average, it is more than 1,000 per person.

If you regard the spirit stone as property, measured by the average wealth of this era, these people are probably very rich "thousand stone households".

However, these energy sources are not the most important energy sources in Qianyangmen, and it can even be said that they are only the less important parts of Qianyangmen's energy security components.

In the Qianyang Gate, about 90 percent of the energy will eventually be concentrated in the virtual stone in the hands of the Samadhi real person.

The energy storage density of antimatter batteries, measured in spirit stones, is almost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. There is no end to energy in this world, but there is a limit to the spirit stone - when the sect is in a calm period and there is not too much fighting, because everyone begins to obtain energy from the electric field and store it, this process is actually essentially the same as the economic system on the earth. The amount of electricity stored can be seen as currency, similar to gold and silver. And the virtual stone, to some extent, is the bank.

Storing electricity in the virtual stone is, in essence, the same behavior as depositing money in the bank. And in the Samadhi True Person's Void Stone, there is the savings of the Qianyang Sect for almost thousands of years - excluding the amount used for combat consumption, the remaining amount is still an astonishing number, according to the estimation of the search and rescue team, it is about the order of more than one billion spirit stones.

However, it has not been until now that the intervention has begun, and the effect is very different from the previous intervention.

To put it simply, it is Qianyangmen, or rather, the flying people of the whole world, who don't know what economy is.

The price of a flying sword, in the current market, a good one can be bought with more than a dozen spirit stones, counting this sword, that is to say, one*, the purchase price of the Nine Great Sects is more than thirty spirit stones.

It sounds good, three times more than the market price when Bai Feng left.

However, Bai Feng underestimated the power of the market.

No, it should be said, it is that they have never seen the power of the market.

This is not surprising, for a world where spirit stones are used as currency, most people's net worth is only a few dozen spirit stones, and the per capita GDP is almost dead, and the so-called market is very ridiculous for a world of dozens of spirit stones. Compared with gold and silver, the amount of spirit stones is even rarer, and there are also "wealthy families" like the Nine Great Sects who only enter and do not leave, hoarding a large number of flying swords and spirit stones, so that there will be a shortage of money in the entire market - and the transaction will be further curbed.

In fact, although the Spirit Island is the most prosperous place for the "commerce" of the entire Ascension Realm, most of the time, it is just a slum. Just like in an agrarian society, only people who can't survive will go into small businesses, peddlers, people with a little bit of property, will try to get a plot of land and cultivate it to make a living. Here, only people who don't have a sect will come here to do business, and these people are all without exception very poorly qualified, and they have little interest in cultivation, or, just like those people who can't even afford flying swords after being reborn, they just have no way to come here.

According to the class division of the earth, most of the flying people living on the island can be said to be the proletariat through and through, and in this world where gangs are the main mode of organization, those who do not have gangs are undoubtedly weak. Since they are weakling, they are always passive in the entire economic relationship.

For example, the simplest is to do the business of buying flying swords. Monopolizing the flying sword has always been the goal of the nine major factions, because of the existence of the black market of the Spirit Detection Island, there are obviously quite unfavorable factors for the acquisition of flying swords by the various sects. The price used by the Nine Great Sects to purchase flying swords was only about four or five spirit stones on average, and sometimes even lower. The most flying swords, they did not rely on acquisition - but directly snatched. But the robbery between gangs cannot simply be called robbery, this is called "maintaining the Dao system of the Ascension Realm".

Once, in the name of "cracking down on counterfeit and shoddy flying swords and promoting the Dao system of the Ascension Realm", the nine major factions also carried out several half-light and half-dark robberies on the Spirit Island, but because the people of the Spirit Island are used to doing business, they are really cunning, and they can receive the news in advance every time, and then everyone hides their property in advance, and these robberies will not end.

Later, the robbery didn't work, so the Nine Great Factions switched to economic means - because the Nine Great Factions were rich in stored materials, it was easy to manipulate market prices to grab huge profits, because of these behaviors, the people who went bankrupt on the Spirit Island for this reason, I don't know how much, and even owed debts for several lifetimes - in the Ascension Realm, people after being reborn are also responsible for their previous debts.

However, the emergence of this special commodity has caused an indescribable change in the original economic order that is indescribable to the immortal cultivators, and for the vast majority of people on the Spirit Island, this change is undoubtedly wonderful.

This change is very simple to say, in one word: up.

In a deflationary commercial society, although spirit stones are scarce and generally more valuable, because there are few goods available for trading, plus there are few customers, almost all customers who need them are inferior customers.

Spirit stones, flying swords, these things, but all the children of the normal sect will obtain these resources from the sect to use - this is the most economical and most legitimate practice. In this way, the price of the products sold by the merchants is often not very good, and the profit margin is pitiful, so they can only rely on some luck, or when others urgently need something, they can slaughter the other side to improve their profitability appropriately.

However, the emergence of this commodity has made an unprecedented change in the old-fashioned business order on the entire Lingling Island.

When this kind of thing first appeared, just like the price when Yan Xiu's stall was placed, there was only one spirit stone or two - when Yan Xiu first started selling this thing, he also gave it away for free for a period of time. At that time, no one knew what this kind of thing would make them very unhappy do—reducing themselves and their opponents to 0, which was a very unreasonable magic weapon for many immortal cultivators with high spirits.

However, as Yan Xiu repeatedly used this thing in the arena of the Spirit Examination Conference to easily defeat his opponents, the price of this thing also began to rise.

This price increase process is not promoted by Yanxiu, but by many of Yanxiu's "competitors".

* Entering the Ascension Realm, there are mainly two channels, one is Yan Xiu, when he came, he brought the first batch of products, there were only about a hundred. The sales of these more than 100 products are very poor, and it can be said that they play an extremely limited role in the whole * marketization process.

Another channel is that the search and rescue team secretly transported tens of thousands of products to various small islands around the island through remote control flying swords, and then quietly released the wind on the entire Lingling Island through the mouth of Yan Xiu - saying that there is a super magic weapon on such and such an island that can change a person's fate. Most people don't believe this kind of low-quality rumor, but there are always a small number of people, such as those who can't even afford to buy a flying sword, and they can't help but try it.

In the end, most of the products were brought back by this group of people.

When these *were first brought back, no one had linked this* to the "Soul Devouring Shield" that Yan Xiu used in the competition. Far from being sold for a good price, this thing caused a lot of trouble. Frequent on/off of this thing, constant attempts, is almost the equivalent of throwing it on a normal street* - shielding the Divine Sense also creates a lot of chaos.

But soon, these chaos were noticed by those who had a heart, and the first group of people with real brains began to think that this magic weapon might really have a future—they began to buy it in the world at the price of one spirit stone.

The first batch of acquirers basically belong to the long-term business, so people with a little savings, for them, investing in a new type of magic weapon that does not know the specific role of the magic weapon is also a common option in business. They didn't have much idea at first, they just thought that this thing could cause a lot of movement, but the price was very low - only one spirit stone, and even some people who were in a hurry to use the money, one spirit stone to buy two, they were willing to sell.

After about a week of the acquisition, there were some minor setbacks – the buyers ran out of money. The reason is very simple, they underestimated the number of this magic weapon, they never thought that once this thing began to be purchased, it seemed to be endless on the market, and they finally overwhelmed the price of one spirit stone to buy four, and there was still a long queue of people who came to sell * every day.

At this critical moment when the "*long" activity was about to collapse, there was a fortuitous event - a poor man who couldn't even afford a flying sword participated in the Soul Examination, and he made a breakthrough in combining the bow and arrow with the *, and won two consecutive competitions.
