"The problem is, I don't know how to ask for help." Jiuze spread his hands, "Besides, the senior seems to be aware of all the situations in Bailao Mountain at all times, so if she is really willing to help..."
As he spoke, Jiuze raised his eyebrows towards Rong and Miao with a "you know" expression.
"That's true," Rong Miao touched his chin, "Then let's rest for a while and then go out."
"Okay." Qi Xiuhan agreed.
"Huh, little bastard." Huanmi turned over and faced the entrance of the cave, with an unfriendly expression.
Is she so cheap? You don't even want to ask her, thinking that she will definitely help when there is danger?
Beautiful thought!
He was playing tricks on her just because he was the heir.
snort!
Huanmi put away the water mirror with a wave of his hand, and disappeared in a flash.
In the protective tower, Rong Miao continued to adjust his breath after talking for a while because he was injured.
Qi Xiuhan had only lost his spiritual power, and had recovered more than half of his time in a short while. 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 Junior Sister, is there something wrong?"
Jiuze nodded, "Fourth Senior Brother, I want to ask you if you know about spirit stones?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiuhan put down the jade slip in his hand and said warmly: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Jiuze recounted the sight of the cluster of spiritual stones he saw in the cave.
"I thought about it for a long time before I remembered where I had seen such a thing as a spiritual stone."
"Senior brother, do you know the purpose of this spiritual stone?"
This is the question Jiuze has wanted to ask since he saw the spirit stone.
Since spirit stones have always been used as currency in other novels of the same type, why did the author not mention them in this book, but then set things like spirit stones in Bailao Mountain?
Could it be that during her period, spirit stones had not yet been given a monetary value? If that were the case, maybe she could propose a business of mining spirit stones, then determine the value standard of spirit stones and establish a business based on spirit stones.
monetary system.
And all this must be led by the sect. In this way, the Huayang Sect, which sets the currency standard, will further improve its status in the Mingguang world.
good.
After Jiuze learned that spirit stones were used as currency in other novels, he had a vague idea. Over the past few days, this idea has gradually taken shape.
"The uses of spiritual stones," Qi Xiuhan pondered for a moment, his voice gentle and kind, "it has many uses, and it was once used as a coin."
"Click."
The beautiful vision in Jiuze's heart was like shattered glass, shattering all over the ground.
"As coins?" Jiuze confirmed unwillingly.
It turns out that it wasn’t that it wasn’t adopted, but that it was eliminated?
"Yes," Qi Xiuhan affirmed, not knowing what Jiuze was thinking: "Lingshi has been used as a coin for thousands of years, because it has spiritual power and can be used in many situations, even to replenish spiritual power during battles, or
To speed up the rate of breath adjustment, if you place high-purity spirit stones around during practice, the speed of practice can be doubled within a certain period of time, so spirit stones are very popular among practitioners. In order to facilitate collection, simply put the spirit stones
Circulated as money."
"Then why was it replaced by the current spirit coin?" Jiuze asked.
Qi Xiuhan did not answer directly, but asked instead, "Seventh Junior Sister, if you need to increase your spiritual power in your current practice, what method will you use?"
"The spirit-guiding array." Jiuze replied.
"What is the most convenient and least expensive recovery method during the competition?" Qi Xiuhan asked again.
"Use the Spirit-Returning Talisman." Jiuze replied, "The Spirit-Returning Talisman can replenish half of the spiritual power by directly activating the Spirit-Returning Talisman. It only requires five spirit coins, which is cheap, fast and effective."
Qi Xiuhan nodded and asked again, "You are riding a flying magic weapon. Do you need external power to drive it?"
Jiuze shook his head, "There is a flying magic circle on the flying magic weapon. You only need to recognize the owner and you can control it as you wish. No need to rely on external force."
Qi Xiuhan smiled and nodded, "Look, places where spirit stones were needed in the past are now more convenient alternatives. Naturally, the demand for spirit stones is so strong."
"So that's it." Jiuze sighed, admiring these cultivators in Mingguang Realm for being able to make such reforms.
Qi Xiuhan understood Jiuze's expression, "Don't you admire the person who made such a change?"
Jiu Ze nodded.
"That's because the spiritual energy of the Mingguang Realm is gradually drying up." Qi Xiuhan said, "In the Mingguang Realm, spiritual stones are usually condensed into veins. And this spiritual vein is the main source of the spiritual energy of the Mingguang Realm."
"After thousands of years of mining, the consumption of spiritual veins is huge. Without the nourishment of spiritual veins, the spiritual energy of the Mingguang Realm will become increasingly thinner."
"More than 900 years ago, there was a great expert who speculated that if this situation continues, within a thousand years, the Mingguang Realm will slowly become a mortal realm due to its thin spiritual power, and all cultivators will be unable to adapt to the increasingly depleting spiritual power.
Cultivation becomes stagnant due to strength, until it falls."
"At that time, the response given by this great master was to call on a large number of great masters whose cultivation levels were stagnant at their peak to sacrifice themselves to heaven and earth, because in the Mingguang Realm, cultivators generally have a consensus that if cultivators are
After his death, his lifelong cultivation will turn into aura again and return to heaven and earth. We call it a return to the spirit. The great master wanted to use this large-scale return to the spirit to release the aura again and slow down the bright light.
The speed at which world spiritual power is lost."
"Theoretically, this method can produce a certain effect in a short period of time, but in the end it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause." Qi Xiuhan sighed, "It's just that at that time, everyone seemed to have no other way, and some powerful people agreed.
This proposal was made, and the records mention that a sacrificial ceremony was held specifically for this sacrifice.”
"The purpose is to spread this spirit and concept and use the sacrifices of peak powers from generation to generation in exchange for the living space of the new generation of cultivators in the Mingguang Realm."
Jiuze was shocked by such an action.
"Fortunately, the sacrifice was stopped at the last moment," Qi Xiuhan said with a sense of joy in his tone. "It is said that a high-ranking elder couldn't bear to see the powerful people sacrifice like this, so he took over at this time."
"For the next two hundred years, there was no movement from the elder, but no one dared to urge him."
"It wasn't until six hundred years ago that the elder appeared again and proposed a series of reform strategies, including the improvement of non-spiritual talismans, the recycling protection measures of spiritual stones, the expansion and innovation of array uses, etc. These plans
The name was proposed by the elder. For a time, the top formation masters, talisman masters and wise men in the Mingguang Realm gathered together to develop innovative talismans and the use of formations."
"In the end, formations and talismans such as the spirit-guiding array and the spirit-returning talisman were developed. The use of some spirit stones was reduced. Everyone saw hope and finally gave up the idea of sacrifice."
"Later, generations of innovations and reforms gradually discovered that a cyclic array can be created, using a small amount of spiritual stones to create spiritual power, and then continuously regenerating it to supply large-scale arrays. For example, the teleportation array we use now can use the array.
It can replace external forces such as spiritual power to drive the flying magic weapon, and it can speed up its own speed by improving the talisman, and there are countless innovations like this."
Qi Xiuhan sighed as he spoke, with admiration on his face: "In this way, the use of spiritual stones has become less and less, the spiritual veins have been protected, and the spiritual power of the Mingguang Realm has gradually recovered. Two hundred years ago, after the trial release of spiritual coins,
It was quickly accepted by everyone and has since officially replaced spirit stones and become the new currency in circulation. At the same time, all major sects and aristocratic families have also promulgated laws and regulations prohibiting individuals from privately mining, using or selling spirit stones, and strictly prohibiting spirit stones from being used in any form or by any means.
The Mingguang Realm circulates. The mining of spiritual mineral veins has also been strictly restricted. Spiritual stones are no longer a symbol of wealth, nor a necessity of life. They have officially withdrawn from the sight of cultivators."
"That's why spirit stones are so strange to you."
Jiuze looked at Qi Xiuhan and said with admiration: "Senior brother is really well-read."
Qi Xiuhan smiled lightly and said, "I am two hundred and thirteen years old now. What's so strange about knowing more than you?"
Seeing Jiu Ze's surprised look, he smiled and said, "You may think that I started school later than Third Senior Sister, but I am actually older than her."
"How much bigger can it be?" Rong Miao opened his eyes and said, "I am almost two hundred years old."
"Well, it's almost over, there are less than thirty years left." Qi Xiuhan said with a smile.
