Chapter Twenty-Four: Xianxia Economics and the Merit-based System [Second Update

After being introduced to the Immortal Road by Zhenxizi, Wang Qi had great doubts about a question - can such a thing as a spirit stone really be used as currency?

In a certain period of time, the amount of money required in circulation is directly proportional to the total price of commodities, and inversely proportional to the velocity of money. Too much or too little money can cause chaos in the economy.

And the number of spirit stones is obviously difficult to control!

The content of the spiritual energy inside a piece of spiritual stone is uneven, and if there is no price agreed by the people in the immortal path, it is difficult to carry out the transaction - this phenomenon did not improve until the invention of the "spiritual pool".

If there are more spirit stones on the market, the value of spirit stones will naturally fall. In this way, it is very likely that a monk will be in retreat for ten years, and after leaving the customs, he will find that his savings for many years have become worthless due to the excavation of another vein of spirit stones.

On the contrary, if a spirit stone vein is exhausted, there may also be a situation where the price of spirit stone rises, and there are people who have a heart to hoard a large amount of spirit stones to accumulate wealth.

In either case, it will be a heavy blow to the market.

Since the remuneration is difficult to determine, alchemists will not lightly help people refine pills, and refiners cannot lightly help people refine weapons. This will lead to more things to learn and less time to cultivate. This creates a vicious circle.

In the end, a large number of monks who are unable to move forward due to the hindrance of their practice will lose their scruples and attack each other, changing the style of painting from a "flow of resources" to a "flow of cannibalism".

In the 80,000-year history of the Immortal Dao, there have also been five Immortal Dao catastrophes caused by the depletion of large-scale ore veins or the discovery of large ore veins.

However, Zhen Xianzi had also explained that most of the time, the spirit stone veins were occupied by the great sects. The sects that occupy the ore veins will consciously restrict the outflow of spirit stones, and only the core members of the sect can use spirit stones without restrictions.

But this does not guarantee the stability of the market. The ancient method of cultivating spiritual stones is used for cultivation, and it may be necessary to use a bunch of them one day, and the number of spiritual stones on the market is not easy to control - this is not like the earth, currency cannot be eaten or used, and people on the earth will not tear money to play for fitness.

Due to the fragility of the monetary system, the monks also retained the primitive practice of bartering.

However, in order to deal with this problem, the ancient immortal path also made adjustments for a time.

The most typical is the period of seclusion in Xianmen. There are only 100 monks in the whole world, and the resources are incomparably abundant when they are evenly distributed among everyone. Mortals have only heard that there are immortals in the world, but no one has ever seen them.

It's just that in this way, the power of the human race has been greatly weakened, and the demon race occupies most of the Shenzhou. The monks didn't really care much at first. However, due to the small population base, many sects could not find good seedlings, so that they were not inherited. The remaining few sects have reinstated the cultivation method of "casting a wide net".

In addition, the Immortal Cultivation Dynasty is also a solution. A cultivator composed of a family of people leads the human race one qiē and two immortals. Only royalty, courtiers, and sergeants were allowed to practice. If you don't enter the system, you don't even have the qualifications to practice, and once you find someone who violates the ban, you will be decided.

This not only ensures the stability of the market price, but also retains the power of the human race against the demon race, which is the best of both worlds.

But this system is more afraid of the emergence of a demon who "eats people and cultivates". There have been three immortal cultivation dynasties in history, and two times they collapsed because of the emergence of several geniuses who ate people among the poor middle peasants and achieved Mahayana with thousands of miles of red land.

Due to the collapse of the immortal path, there were times when demon cultivation was rampant and cannibalistic cultivation was also used. In such an era, mortal flesh and blood have replaced the spirit stone on a large scale. This can be provided steadily, and the fairy road has prospered for a while. However, the sects that maintain this kind of style have all been eaten up by themselves, and they can't see it today.

And today's Immortal Alliance obviously has the means to continuously extract aura from the Outer Void, but it has not been widely used, and it also takes this into account. Originally, the merit system was just a military merit system formulated to motivate members when the Xianmeng League was created. However, after the invention of that technology, the scope of application of the merit system was expanded, and the things that could be exchanged for merit became more valuable, and the exchange rate of merit and aura was adjusted year by year to prevent some monks from going bankrupt in this wave.

Complete the tasks required by the Immortal League, and you can obtain the Immortal Alliance's merit points. And now most things have a clear price in the Xianmeng's huàn table, and the Xianmeng also allows members to trade with each other. And the core sect of the Immortal League itself can also adjust the amount of power it has in the market by means of large-scale exchange.

Due to the guarantee of the Immortal Alliance itself, the merit value will one day replace the increasingly depreciating aura and become the most commonly used currency in the Immortal Dao.

After understanding this, Wang Qi sighed: "The force to which I belong seeks long-term peace and stability, and everyone ascends to the immortal, which is indeed a good thing, but this also means that I basically have no way to obtain ill-gotten gains." ”

Xiang Qi said: "It's not impossible to get a lot of power points. Wealth and danger are sought, you go to the West Sea Langde to join the ranks of the fierce battle with the Kraken, or go to the East China Sea to search for the remnants of the ancient method of cultivation, and brush up the super fast points. ”

Wang Qi pouted: "Senior sister, you will be made fun of me." Is that what I can do as a Qi cultivator?"

"If you can get the favor of the Great Grandmaster, it will be very easy to join his team of seeking the way of heaven and earth, and it will be very easy to get merit. The Immortal League attaches great importance to this aspect, and this score is no less than that of the Demon Clan's Gu Xiu. Xiang Qi seemed to be thinking about this Jian Yì sincerely: "Since the lord has taken a look at you, maybe the great master of the Ten Thousand Methods Sect will accept you?"

Wang Qi shook his head. He knew that Xi Baiche mostly felt that it was interesting and talented to cultivate so many divine skills at the same time, rather than that he felt that his level of arithmetic was high. Holding chicken feathers as an arrow like this will cause the disgust of Wanfamen.

In addition, he has a lot of secrets, and accepting everyone's attention as a scholar is the limit, and if he goes further, he will be very happy and sad.

Xiang Qi muttered: "Why don't you try to summarize your comprehension of the Great Dao and the deduction of the exercises, and then hand it over to the Immortal League? ”

Wang Qi's heart moved a little at this time. I don't know that the manuscript of the Taoist is very valuable, and I still have some of the most cutting-edge results of geophysics in my head. It's just that the Daoist is still in the position of being shouted at in the Immortal League, and after handing over the manuscript himself, will he be killed or will he be killed......? If a junior high school student on the earth suddenly comes up with theoretical achievements that are ahead of his time, how will the government react?

Moreover, the physical laws known in the Shenzhou world have many similarities with the earth, but the physical quantity of "Reiki" is very different from one world to another, and the ghost knows whether the physical laws that he knew in his previous life in the deeper realm are still useful.

After rejecting several plans one after another, Xiang Qi suddenly slapped his head: "Why did I forget it like this! You are still a new disciple of the Immortal Academy!"
