Heavenly Abyss Immortal City.

When Zhou Chun rushed here after hearing the news, there were already dozens of Yuan Infant Stage cultivators gathered in this immortal city.

This time the matter of re-establishing the monetary system is related to the rise and fall of the entire human race immortal cultivation world, and basically every country has Yuan Infant Stage monks invited to come.

Just like the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the extreme west that Zhou Chun had been to before, as well as distant countries such as the Bingyi Country, all of them had sent people over.

Therefore, in terms of scale and grandeur, it has surpassed the "Tianyi Festival" held before.

When Zhou Chun arrived at Tianyuan Immortal City, there were still some Yuan Infant Stage cultivators who were farther away and didn't arrive.

So after he met Xuan Zhenren, he was also arranged to live temporarily in a cave in the Immortal City.

And after he stayed, he did not sit quietly and wait, but took the initiative to find some monks who had crossed paths to contact and communicate with each other to find out relevant news.

Since a new monetary system is to be re-established, there must have been some proposals and preparations, and it is impossible to say that without thinking about anything, we will directly gather everyone over.

Zhou Chun now just wants to know what preparations those who are qualified to make proposals, and he has a bottom in his heart.

However, the confidentiality of the parties on this matter is even more than he imagined.

Whether he found Huangfu Tianming or Nangong Ruthless, who also rushed over, he couldn't get any accurate news.

In the end, I could only wait patiently for the convening of the conference.

After waiting in Tianyuan Immortal City for more than half a month, Zhou Chun received the notice of the conference.

The conference was held in a large hall in the Tianyuan Immortal City, and there were as many as one hundred and seventy-three Yuan Infant Stage monks present, exceeding the number of people present at the previous "Tianyi Festival".

And there are enough of twelve great monks in the late Yuan Infant period alone!

That is to say, the Avatar Venerables don't pay much attention to mundane matters, otherwise it may not be impossible for several Avatar Venerables to gather here.

On this occasion, Zhou Chun also seemed very low-key, sitting honestly in his place and listening to the speeches of those great monks.

"The reason why all Taoist friends are gathered here today, I think all Taoist friends know it in their hearts."

"Previously, after being reminded and informed by the predecessors of Venerable Tianyi, after we personally observed and verified, we have already determined that the turbid qi is slowly dissipating."

"And in the past few years, the rejection of the spirit coins caused by this incident has also seriously affected the operation of the entire immortal cultivation world and affected every force."

"Now that we are here, we must come up with a way to resolve this crisis, and we can't let this situation continue."

I saw that at the top of the main hall, an old man in purple with a vicissitudes of life, looked at the people below with a solemn expression and slowly made an opening statement.

This purple-clothed old man is honored as Huayang Zhenren, not only is he a great monk in the late Yuan Infant period, but there is also a Transformation God Venerable Yuanyang Venerable standing behind him.

Therefore, the Tianxuan real person who is present today and tomorrow is also present, but he is still the person presiding over the meeting.

At this time, after Huayang Zhenren finished making his opening remarks, a mid-Yuan Infant monk immediately spoke: "What Huayang Daoist said is reasonable, now that the spirit coins of the immortal cultivation world of various countries are being abandoned, and the trade between caravans of various countries is almost stagnant, whether it is to re-establish the credibility of the spirit coin, or to implement another set of alternative currencies, the sooner the better." ”

When this person said this, he also got up and arched his hand towards the twelve late Yuan Infant Great Cultivators such as Huayang Zhenren and said, "I dare to ask all Daoists, I don't know if you have any thoughts on the things that replace the spirit coin?" ”

"Cen Daoyou don't be impatient, and listen to the old man slowly."

Huayang Zhenren waved his hand and motioned for this person to sit down first.

Then I saw him slowly speak: "Why did you decide to use the spirit coin as the common currency of the immortal cultivation world, so that it is convenient for us and other monks to buy and sell all kinds of spiritual objects, I don't think there is any need for the old man to explain to you fellow Daoists, once the turbid qi completely dissipates, the abandonment of the spirit coin is destined to be something that cannot be changed." ”

"But all of you Daoists know that once the spirit coin can no longer be used, it will have a great impact on the trade of the immortal cultivation world, and how inconvenient it will be."

"So if I want to find something to replace the spirit coin, then this kind of thing must have a certain value in itself, and it must be able to have use value for our monks, so that it can be accepted by the public and willing to use it as currency!"

Speaking of this, he also sighed with emotion and said: "Originally, the spirit crystal was actually a very good thing, but this thing itself was too rare to be popularized at all!" ”

"So if you can have something that can be produced in large quantities and can be as convenient to use as a spirit crystal, then it must be the best currency."

These words also made everyone in the hall nod their heads again and again, and they agreed with this statement very much.

Immortal cultivators are very realistic, especially after experiencing the spirit coin expiration event, if they want to make them accept a new currency, then this currency must have a role that is difficult for them to refuse.

In fact, at the beginning, the spirit coin was not trusted and accepted by the scattered cultivators.

It was only because the major forces unanimously promoted this thing, and only let the loose cultivators who were willing to accept the spirit coins buy some strategic materials and let them enter the Fang City stronghold to practice, that it was promoted.

Now considering that the turbid aura will dissipate in the future, something like spirit coins that has no actual use value will definitely not be able to be used as currency anymore.

At least once the turbidity dissipates, it can no longer serve the purpose of money.

But seeing Huayang Zhenren say again: "To be honest, the old man can't say what kind of thing to use instead of spirit coins now, and he may need us to work together, and even mobilize alchemists and refiners from various sects to find a way to see if we can refine something similar to spirit crystals!" ”

"And before that, after discussing with other fellow Daoists, the old man thought that maybe he could use the magic talisman and the elixir to restore mana as temporary currency."

"Of course, the best way is to continue to use the spirit coin as currency before the turbid aura dissipates, and then prepare another thing that can replace the spirit coin before the turbid aura dissipates!"

Speaking of this, Huayang Zhenren bowed slightly towards everyone and said: "The old man's words are finished, now if you have any good suggestions and ideas, you can speak freely." ”

As soon as the words fell, a monk in the early stage of the Yuan Infant said: "There is an immature idea below, can we use Xuantie, Purple Copper, Yanyu and other spiritual gold and spiritual jade to make coins, and then determine the exchange ratio according to their approximate value!" ”

Hearing what he said, Huayang Zhenren immediately shook his head and vetoed: "This matter is not appropriate!" ”

Then he explained in a deep voice: "For those Qi cultivation stage cultivators, many of them do not have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of this kind of coin, and the use of coins refined from eight-point dark iron and two-point refined iron can make it difficult for them to distinguish the real from the fake. ”

"And even if it is a monk in the foundation building period, once the number of coins involved in the transaction reaches hundreds or thousands, it will take an unknown amount of time to identify their authenticity one by one, which is really inconvenient!"

The monk who didn't want to make a suggestion didn't give up, and quickly said: "We can crack down on counterfeiters, and try to imprint imitable secret scripts on coins, and even refine some special magic weapons that can accurately identify the authenticity of coins!" ”

Hearing this, Huayang Zhenren couldn't help but shake his head again and said: "The so-called secret text that is difficult to imitate, fellow Daoist, are you sure that it can be difficult to defeat the Yuan Infant Cultivators such as us?" Spirit gold currency and spirit currency are not the same, this thing itself can be used as refining materials to consume, if you want to make a fake, the profit is extraordinarily large, it is difficult to say that no one will take risks! ”

"Again, the number of such spirit ores itself is small, once a large number of them are mined and used to refine coins, it will inevitably increase their value, resulting in a sharp increase in the price of magic weapons, and the series of problems caused by this will be even more difficult to solve!"

Having said that, in order to prevent that person from arguing again, Huayang Zhenren also simply said directly: "In short, it is absolutely undesirable to use spirit gold and spirit jade as currency, before the spirit coin came out, the predecessors of the immortal cultivation world had already confirmed that this matter was not feasible!" ”

Seeing that he resolutely rejected this suggestion, the man didn't want to say anything more, so he could only sit back.

But soon, another mid-Yuan Infant monk stood up and said, "I also have an immature suggestion below, and I want to hear the opinions of fellow Daoists. ”

"I thought that I could use the pill as a currency substitute, but it was not an elixir to restore mana, but an elixir to improve my cultivation!"

"We can ask all the Great Alchemy Grandmasters and Dan Dao Grandmasters to research three kinds of pills that can be used to improve the mana cultivation of Qi cultivation period cultivators, foundation building period cultivators, and Purple Mansion stage cultivators according to the various existing pill recipes."

'The effect of this elixir doesn't need to be too good, it only needs to be cultivated for about a month for each monk who can improve the corresponding realm, so naturally everyone is willing to accept these pills as currency! ’

It's a pity that he thought it was a good suggestion, but it was once again ruthlessly rejected by Huayang Zhenren.

"It's also not feasible!"

"Let's not talk about refining the elixir of refining mana and cultivating it into an elixir, which is itself relatively difficult to mass-produce on a large scale, let's just say that deliberately weakening the effectiveness of the elixir is a waste of the elixir!"

Speaking of this, Huayang Zhenren also criticized with a stern expression: "Not to mention, taking a large amount of this kind of pill will definitely accumulate a lot of erysipelas in the body, which in itself is harmful!" ”

When the mid-Yuan Infant monk was told by him, he also smiled and said, "Huayang Daoist don't have to be angry, it's just a suggestion in the future, if it doesn't work, it won't work!" ”

Then he sat back down.

At this time, another mid-Yuan Infant monk stood up and said, "In my opinion, it may be a feasible strategy to use blank rune paper as currency. ”

When this person said this, he also replied to himself: "First of all, the blank rune paper is easy to identify, and it can basically eliminate counterfeiting; Secondly, the production materials of blank rune paper come from various sources, and it is not difficult to achieve large-scale mass production of low-grade rune paper; Furthermore, the purpose of the blank rune paper is very clear, and there is no such thing as no exchange use value! ”

"But the blank rune paper can't be kept for too long, and if it is traded repeatedly, it is easy to be damaged, and the existence of these two fatal flaws makes it impossible to become a long-term currency!"

At this time, it was Tianxuan Zhenren who refuted it, and pointed out the defects of blank rune paper as currency.

He himself is a great master of the Fu Dao, and naturally has the highest say in this regard.

Zhou Chun watched these people make suggestions one by one, and they were rejected one by one, and he also felt very interesting in his heart.

It's hard for other people to say, the monk who proposed to use spirit gold and spirit jade as currency, he saw that the other party was from the Extreme West Cultivation Immortal Realm, and there were all kinds of spirit gold veins there.

If they did what he said, it was obvious that their extreme western land Immortal Cultivation Realm would suddenly become the richest place in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.

However, the monk who proposed to use blank rune paper as a monetary unit was from a certain big force that was good at making talismans, and if the blank rune paper was used as a monetary unit, their entire sect would undoubtedly benefit greatly.

Therefore, it is safe to say that the proposals of these infant monks are not to solve the problem, but to maximize their own interests!

For their selfish behavior, Zhou Chun can't say that he is disgusted, but he also has no good feelings.

At the same time, he himself was thinking about what was more appropriate to replace the spirit coin.

For the next few days, more than a hundred Yuan Infant Monks were arguing over what would replace the spirit coin.

During this period, dozens of infant monks put forward their own opinions, but many of the so-called suggestions themselves did not stand much scrutiny, and were completely useless suggestions.

And some seemingly feasible suggestions are more or less fatal flaws, and they are prone to various problems after large-scale rollout.

Therefore, after three days and three nights of deliberation, everyone could not reach a consensus and come up with a satisfactory plan.

In this case, Huayang Zhenren, Tianxuan Zhenren, Xuanzhen Zhenren and other great monks of the late Yuan Infant period passed on the sound in private, and soon reached a certain decision.

I saw that he suddenly said: "Fellow Daoists, be quiet first, and listen to the old man." ”

When the words fell, everyone looked at him.

Seeing Huayang Zhenren said in a deep voice: "Since we can't negotiate a feasible plan now, then this matter can be discussed later, and in the next thousand years, we can still think slowly and try slowly, until we find a perfect and feasible replacement!" ”

"And before that, it is necessary to let the spirit coin continue to be used, and let the spirit coin continue to play its usefulness!"

"Therefore, the old man proposes, after you go back, you should take the initiative to open up the market and let the spirit coins flow again, and at the same time, we must also promise together that after the things that replace the spirit coins come out in the future, the existing spirit coins in the hands of various forces can be replaced with them according to the relevant proportions, instead of directly making all the spirit coins become scrap iron!"
