After finishing the planning of the Ocean Country and paying off the debts, Xingyu still couldn't settle down and practice. Because of the distribution of a large number of Condensing Pills, the economy of the Sea Country has had a little impact.
This has to start with the way Xingyu acquired medicinal materials. After announcing the mission on the mission system of the Astral Alliance, in fact, most of the medicinal materials were exchanged for pills, that is, in fact, Xingyu didn't pay much. However, because the amount of Condensing Pills that needed to be supplied this time was too huge, Xingyu had to solve the problem of medicinal materials through trade channels.
Due to the oppression of the secular world by the astral world, it was difficult to carry out the work of buying medicinal materials with gold and silver, because most countries needed to "hand over tasks" with medicinal materials. Fortunately, the astrologists were so indifferent to ordinary people that they never thought about what they had to pay for obtaining medicinal herbs from the secular regime.
In the face of white flowers, many people are still willing to trade with the sea country. It's just that because the astromagicians are asking for too much, the supply of medicinal materials in the market has dropped sharply, and Xingyu has paid a greater price for this.
In the acquisition of medicinal materials, Xingyu spent a total of tens of millions of taels of silver, which led to a decline in precious metal reserves in the ocean for a while, and even the newly issued banknotes were at risk of being run.
Xingyu, who came from the business society in his previous life, knew that without a good financial environment, the rapid development of the market economy could not be guaranteed. In a short period of time, the maritime country could not absorb enough wealth, so in order to solve the problem of the shortage of precious metals, Xingyu had to find a way to solve it.
In fact, in a broad sense, this large-scale trade of medicinal materials and pills basically broke the precedent of material exchange between the astral world and the secular world. Although there are not too many transactions between the astrology and ordinary people, through the bridge of Xingyu, the secular and the astral world are still communicated.
First of all, Xingyu obtained the Soul Stone from the Astral Realm. Secondly, the astral world also received a large amount of elixir from Xingyu. In the end, the secular countries also received a lot of gold and silver currency from the medicinal herb merchants of the sea country.
This method of trading, although at the cost of a period of tense financial environment in the maritime countries, has generally stimulated the economic development of the entire world...... Including the astral realm.
Even if Xingyu consumed a huge amount of worldly wealth in his personal name, he was able to get a permanent seat on the Soul Stone and Astrology Alliance, and in his opinion, it was not a loss between giving and receiving. In addition, because the astrologers were so accustomed to worldly offerings that they never thought about giving back, there was a bottomless pit of wealth consumption. And after Xingyu exchanged money for medicinal materials, the economic crisis of various countries was alleviated to a certain extent.
Moreover, because countries have obtained this "windfall", their consumption levels have been raised, and for the already industrialized maritime countries, it is equivalent to implicitly increasing market consumption power.
Through this large-scale transaction, Lucky Woo discovered a way to connect the secular and astral worlds closely, and that was to start with economic ties. Of course, considering that the status and strength of the astrologers are much higher than ordinary people, this contact channel is still in the hands of Xingyu.
In order to solve the low reserves of precious metals in the Ocean Country and deepen the communication between the astral and secular worlds, Koyu finally issued his own motion for the first time at the regular meeting of the Astral Alliance. That is to spread the Refreshing Pill to the general population, so that more people can buy this low-grade pill.
It stands to reason that the Refreshing Pill is Xingyu's own thing, and he can deal with it as he wants, and there is no need to put it up in the alliance as an issue so seriously. However, in fact, the Refreshing Pill has now become a necessity for low-level astromagicians, even if we don't consider the factor that astromagicians are unwilling to "go along with ordinary people", we must also consider the possibility of some low-quality astromagicians snatching it from ordinary people.
What Xingyu didn't expect was that his first proposal as a permanent member was approved by everyone. Could it be that these guys have all changed sexuality, or do they really want to "blackmail" the Refreshing Pill from ordinary people?
In fact, this was the reason why he was not well-informed, or rather, he didn't expect that he had discovered hundreds of low-level astromagicians from the ordinary people of the Ocean Country, and how much impact he would have on the entire astral world. Especially in recent times, almost all sects have been actively "reserving" their reserve forces. Xingyu's actions undoubtedly made them see the word "efficiency".
According to the usual method of astrology masters to find disciples, most of them are in crowded places, observing which people have astrological talents based on their feelings, and then using spiritual power to investigate deeply. Not to mention whether this method is reliable or not, at least the inefficiency cannot be escaped.
It is easy to miss gifted ordinary people by observing and screening with the naked eye, and it is not particularly accurate to probe with mental power. After all, the soul is not something that can be detected with spiritual power. Even astromagicians may not be able to understand their own souls so well, let alone others?
As for the inefficiency, it is even more obvious. If it was in the past, you might not be able to see the flaws of this traditional method, but when compared with Xingyu's method, it is really bad.
According to the observation of the astromagicians, Xingyu's method is just to provide ordinary people with a large number of contemplation pills and basic astrological concepts, although it uses the national power of the Ocean Country, but all this is not something that the major sects can easily learn and imitate.
Why? It's not that the Refreshing Pill is too "expensive". Meditation can be published, but the Lifting Pill cannot be easily distributed. No matter which astral force has its own secular "self-reserved land", there is no problem with the astral civilization, but if you find an astral sorcerer as soon as possible in the future, you need to provide a large amount of condensing pills.
Strictly speaking, a single refreshment pill is indeed not expensive, and the price is equivalent to one or two silvers, not to mention the wealthy sect forces, even the financial resources of scattered cultivation can barely afford to consume. However, if Xingyu's method of "casting nets and fishing" is used to determine which ordinary people have the talent of an astral magician, the required Refreshing Pill is not something that any force can bear.
If you want to tell whether an ordinary person is gifted or not in a short period of time, then you can't give out a refreshment pill in a targeted manner, and in the process of visualization, each individual consumes between fifty and 100 refreshment pills. Even if the ratio of astrosorcerers to ordinary people is calculated according to the experience of the Sea Country, it is about one to one hundred.
In other words, if you want to find an astral magician, you have to identify at least a hundred ordinary people. And with the unrestricted desire of various astral forces for "talents", one or two astral magicians cannot meet their requirements. If it is "casting a wide net and fishing more", how much Divine Concentration Pill will be consumed?
Even under the best of circumstances, it would take 500,000 Refreshing Pills to discover a disciple with the talent of an astral magician, and ten astral magicians would need 5 million pills...... And so on, even if every astral sect is rich, it may not be willing to spend such a big price on finding a backup disciple.
Now Xingyu proposes to develop a refreshing pill for ordinary people, although most of the ordinary people who can afford it must have more than middle-class family resources, but the population base of the whole world or this continent is quite a lot, and there are also many middle-class people.
If an ordinary person takes the Refreshing Pill by himself, and then supplements it with the ideas of various astral forces, he can also quickly find someone with astral talent...... As for whether ordinary people are willing to try to learn astrology, is this needless to say? This is a world dominated by astrological civilizations, and it is the wish of countless human beings to become astromagicians.
Therefore, almost all people have no objection to Xingyu selling refreshing pills to ordinary people. Even the Cui family and the Lang evil family are no exception...... Although these two big families don't absorb astrologists outside of their bloodline as their core strength, the times are changing, and the sect is no longer aggressive. In order to adapt to the situation, they also had to change their family traditions.
In fact, from another point of view, after changing the tradition, it is also a mixed pros and cons for the Cui family and the Lang evil family. First of all, on the positive side, whether it is the Cui family or the Lang evil family, they are both heroes, and their "sphere of influence" in the secular world is not small, and they may not be as good as those sects that often wander in the "red dust". In other words, if it is really unrestricted to recruit peripheral forces, in this round of "power expansion" and "arms race", the family forces will not suffer too much. On the contrary, because of the deep accumulation, it has more advantages than the power of the sect.
As for the disadvantage of widely absorbing the family's alien magicians, it is that the "purity" of the "team" is lowered, and it may even lead to frequent internal conflicts. However, this has nothing to do with Xingyu's proposal, after all, most of the sects have already made moves, and with or without the catalyst of the Divine Pill, the family forces can no longer "hold on to the remnants".
Xingyu doesn't know these deep-seated reasons, and even if he knows, it doesn't matter, and he will even be happy to see it happen. Astrology cultivation is different from military expansion, not that the more astrologists there are, the strength will definitely increase. No matter how many low-level astrologists there are, there is a greater chance that they will be high-level astrologists at most.
Whether it is in terms of resource allocation or personal comprehension quality, it is a factor that restricts various astral forces from cultivating more high-level astrosor. The elite route and crowd tactics have their own advantages, in terms of astral development, in fact, the traditional method is more suitable, unless the astral resources can be supplied in unlimited quantities, otherwise, the final result will still return to the original situation.
In fact, the astrological resources of this world are not very rich...... Excluding Xingyu's alchemy ability, there would not be many materials to support a huge number of astralists, otherwise it would not have developed for tens of thousands of years, and the astral world would only have a total of 30,000 astral magicians.
If Xingyu is the kind of selfless person who is willing to serve the entire astral world, he doesn't have to worry about running out of resources. However, refining the pill, especially the refining of the Condensing Pill, requires Xingyu to do it himself. Where did he have so much spare time to make wedding dresses for others? The world of his own cultivation is not enough.
Don't look at his current work efficiency is ridiculously high, he can sort hundreds of millions of Divine Concentration Pills in three days, but hundreds of millions of Divine Concentration Pills are only enough for the current Astral Realm to consume a few months. As the number of astral magicians grew, if he was still so "generous", then he didn't need to cultivate.
Not wanting to spend too much time is one thing, and on the other hand, Xingyu must also take into account the material of the Divine Pill. Not to mention the polar snow grits, after refining so many condensing pills before, the inventory of the Xue Mo Cui family was basically exhausted, and there was also the kind of "Qin Lan Grass" that was only suitable for growing in one place, and even the grass roots could not be dug up.
Wanting Xingyu to provide the Astral Realm with unlimited Condensing Pills and other elixirs is simply wishful thinking.
So, the question arises, since Xingyu can't provide enough pills to meet the needs of the growing number of astromagicians, how can he greatly promote the improvement of the strength of the astral world or their respective sects? This is the problem that Xingyu had to consider after proposing to sell the Refreshing Pill to ordinary people...... Something that all must consider.
Theoretically, astromagicians are a group of highly intelligent creatures, even if they don't pay much attention to external objects in their cultivation, they still have extremely high intelligence. And there were just some guys with "strategic vision" who could focus on the future, and they were too clever to ask a question: "After the number of astromagicians increases, can Master Xing guarantee the supply of pills? Moreover, shouldn't the price of pills be redetermined?"
It was a representative of a small force who raised this question, if the Cui family or the Lang evil family raised it, maybe everyone would think that this was an act to prevent the sect forces from recruiting troops. However, this small force is also a sect, and to raise this question is to proceed from the actual situation in a realistic manner.
And this sudden question made Xingyu feel like he was shooting himself in the foot. From the bottom of my heart, selling the Refreshing Pill to ordinary people is not only to solve the financial crisis of the Ocean Country. On the one hand, there is indeed a factor that hopes for the expansion of the group of astromagicians and elevates the importance of the elixir, and on the other hand, in the long run, it also has the meaning of erasing the boundary between the secular world and the astral world.
After all, astromagicians are all from ordinary people, and if the number is small, they may still feel high, but after the bad street, there will definitely be astromagicians who will maintain the mentality of "ordinary people". This situation is actually beneficial to Xingyu's goal.
However, from the perspective of the power of astrology, everyone welcomes the increase in astrology, but if it is to cultivate more astromagicians, the consumption of resources is not a small amount. Especially in terms of pills, which seem to be "renewable resources", can Xingyu provide enough of them, and can they make them affordable for everyone?
This is indeed a very real problem, and at the scene of the Astrology Conference, everyone here can basically represent everyone in the astral world, and Xingyu can't avoid this question yet.
It was a real headache for him
