After Xiao Yuli stepped out of the teleportation array in Beiyuan City, she met a kind-faced monk who asked her.
What is ride sharing?
Xiao Yuli looked confused. Seeing her expression, the monk immediately pointed to the bulletin board next to her.
[The ferry boat to the main city departs every hour, and each ticket costs ten five-element coins.]
"The last round of ferry boats has just been sent out. If you are in a hurry to go to the main city, fellow Taoist, you can consider our ox cart. It has a large space and is fast. There are only three vacancies. The ferry will leave as soon as everyone is gathered..."
After listening to a lot of words from the monks around her, Xiao Yuli finally understood what carpooling was.
As an alchemy monk, she should have flown over directly, but she was in an unfamiliar environment and the main purpose of coming here was to inquire about meeting Emperor Chen Qing, so she nodded.
"If I want to charter a car, what is the price?"
But Xiao Yuli didn't intend to go milking the bullock cart with the casual cultivators. Her question also made the monk soliciting customers look happy, thinking that this was a big customer from a family of cultivators.
"Xia Niu Jingfa, our ox cart has a total of twelve seats. The price is the same as the official ferry boat, but it is delivered to your doorstep. If you are a Taoist friend, if you charter the car, you can get a discount and just put it together, one hundred five elements.
Just coins.”
Niu Jingfa spoke boldly. Their Niu family is a recently rising immortal cultivating family. They mainly made their fortune when the Eastern Barren Plateau was opened. They specialized in helping the Five Elements Sect herd cattle and sheep, and accumulated the first amount of spiritual stones.
The ancestor of the Niu family discovered business opportunities while waiting for the ferry boat in a teleportation array. After opening up the relationship with the Five Elements Sect, he filled the gap between the ferry boat rounds and led the family's children to make a lot of money.
"What is the Five Elements Coin?" Xiao Yuli asked with confusion after hearing this.
"Fellow Taoist, must you be from outside the realm? This Five Elements Coin is a currency issued by the Five Elements Sect in the major fairy cities in the Eastern Wasteland. Every one hundred Five Elements Coins can be exchanged for a low-grade spiritual stone at the Five Elements Sect's Lingshi Shop.
, because we are doing a small business, so we basically use Five Elements Coins to settle the settlement. If fellow Taoist doesn't have it, just give me a low-grade spiritual stone."
As soon as Niu Jingfa heard Xiao Yuli's question, he knew that she was not an immortal cultivator from the Eastern Wasteland. As he spoke, he took out a coin with a round outside and a square inside from his storage bag. It was engraved with a fine five-element pattern and had a smooth edge.
It's hard, but also radiant with a layer of spiritual light.
"Exchange it for me for one hundred coins."
Xiao Yuli took out two pieces of low-grade spirit stones, one was for the chartered car and the other was for exchange.
Niu Jingfa immediately said hello, then took out a bunch of five-element coins tied with a rope and handed it directly to Xiao Yuli: "Guest, please wait a moment, the parking fee here is more expensive, I will dispatch your special car right away."
After Niu Jingfa finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Xiao Yuli instinctively wanted to stop him.
After all, according to the customs of Tianhe Realm, if you say this, you are basically a liar, and you must have taken the spirit stone and ran away.
But when I thought about it, it was only two low-grade spiritual stones, so I didn't care.
But to her surprise, a moment later, Niu Jingfa did come back with an empty six-wheeled ox cart, but the person riding the ox was a man with two braids that looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Female doll.
"Guest, this is my daughter Niu Manfeng. She was admitted to the Changsheng Academy last year. It just so happens that she is on summer vacation and she came here to earn some tuition..."
After Niu Jingfa introduced him, Xiao Yuli nodded and got on the bullock cart.
As Niu Manfeng waved the whip in his hand, the ox cart began to head towards the main city.
Guan Xiaolong, who was in charge of this teleportation array, saw Xiao Yuli leaving, and immediately picked up his Heavenly Instrument and reported the news.
Although Xiao Yuli was covering up, when riding in the teleportation formation, monks of different realms required different amounts of spiritual stones, so as soon as she appeared, Guan Xiaolong knew that she was a pill-forming monk.
Although the Five Elements Sect adheres to the principle that visitors are guests and will not specifically hold inquiries, it is still indispensable to pay attention to high-level monks.
After all, once the Danjie monk goes crazy, he can cause huge damage in Beiyuan City.
After Song Huangda, who was in charge of the China Unicom project, received the news about Guan Xiaolong, he immediately reported it to E Yun.
"Let's see where this fellow Taoist lives. When the time comes, I will send you a greeting card and tell you about the rules here in Donghuang."
Facing the unfamiliar Danjie monk, E Yun must have been wary, and he planned to meet him in person.
"yes."
After Song Huangda received the instructions, he left to handle this matter.
Xiao Yuli, who was still on the bullock cart, naturally didn't know that she was already being targeted by the Five Elements Sect before she reached the main city.
She sat at the window seat with the best view, observing the independent small courtyards along the way, as well as more high-rise buildings rising from the ground, while playing with the Five Elements Coin in the palm of her hand.
It is not that there are no sect forces in the Tianhe Realm who thought of creating a payment unit smaller than the low-grade spirit stones. For example, during the Eastern Earth Imperial Court period, there was a complete set of human emperor coins, and even relied on power to directly replace the spirit stones.
stone.
At that time, even major holy places were forced to use Human Emperor Coins.
But wherever there are people, there is corruption. The Eastern Tu Imperial Court used the authority of the Human Emperor to make money by issuing excessive amounts of Human Emperor coins. As a result, in the later period of the Imperial Court, the monks from top to bottom would rather barter than use it.
Human Emperor Coin settlement.
After the disappearance of the Imperial Court, there were also holy places that issued similar currencies in their own territories. However, because the spirit stones can be directly used by immortal cultivators, they are valuable. However, these issued currencies need to be affiliated with the authority of the holy places.
Just fine.
And even when the people of the Eastern Earth Imperial Court ruled the world, there were still people who were not afraid of death and minted coins privately, let alone the Holy Land.
Everything is feared by someone who is interested. Even if the currency is inscribed with the Holy Land's exclusive prohibitions and anti-counterfeiting, under the temptation of huge profits, there will be people in the Holy Land who betray these prohibitions, or even be cracked and studied by array masters, weapon refiners and others.
Come out, if this happens, counterfeit currency will spread on a large scale.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Holy Land must maintain its own currency, and even these counterfeit coins must be exchanged.
Even if they killed one person after another, the rogue cultivators were people who lived with their heads in their belts, and soon a new group of people began to secretly mint coins.
And many of them just ran away from the Holy Land after making a fortune.
After many times, the Holy Land also discovered that without the strength of the Eastern Land Imperial Court to suppress the entire East Continent, it was not worth the gain to engage in this kind of currency, so it quickly gave up on this.
Xiao Yuli, as a saint of the Yiyuan Dao Palace, heard these things from the Great Elder Wu Ming.
So she felt a little incredible when she saw that a mere Five Elements Sect dared to issue new coins.
This Five Elements Sect is indeed a rural sect, and it must have been something the upper management came up with. After a while, they will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming counterfeit money.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yuli picked up a Five Elements Coin. As a disciple of Yiyuan Dao Palace, her weapon refining skills were also top-notch, and she soon discovered the extraordinary features of this Five Elements Coin.
It is made of several different minerals and metals, and even broken spiritual stones are incorporated into it.
She tried to absorb the Five Elements Coin like a spiritual stone. Soon, a ray of spiritual energy overflowed and was taken into her body for refining.
After the spiritual energy in the Five Elements Coin was absorbed, the spiritual light on the surface disappeared, and cracks appeared.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuli looked shocked.
Because she discovered that the unsolvable problems of the Holy Land in the past seemed to have been solved by the Five Elements Sect.
The amount of spiritual energy contained in this Five Elements Coin is exactly equivalent to one percent of a low-grade spiritual stone.
Is this a coincidence, or does every Five Elements coin contain so much spiritual energy?
With doubts, Xiao Yuli picked up ten Five Elements coins again and absorbed them all. Sure enough, she found that the amount of spiritual energy in each Five Elements coin was exactly the same, without any difference.
How is it achieved with such accuracy?
Xiao Yuli looked confused. She knew that the Five Elements Coins were mixed with broken spirit stones. When these broken spirit stones were dug out from the spirit stone mine, the spiritual energy inside would soon be lost because the outer covering had been broken.
Although this process can be prevented by using bans, the only ones who can do this are at least foundation-building monks.
To divide these broken spiritual stones into equal parts with perfect precision and integrate them into the forged Five Elements coins, at least a third-level weapon refiner is required.
According to Xiao Yuli's understanding, the difficulty of refining a small five-element coin is the same as that of a third-level magic weapon.
With such effort and time, if you directly refine a third-level magic weapon, even if it costs money, it will be worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
Why waste your skills like this!
In confusion, Xiao Yuli threw a handful of five-element coins that had lost their aura and cracked out of the car window.
"If you collect 100 Five Elements Remnant Coins, you can go to the Five Elements Sect's Lingshi Shop to exchange them for one Five Elements Coin."
Niu Manfeng, who was driving the bullock cart in front, saw her wasteful behavior and couldn't help but remind her.
"Well, it's my first time coming to Beiyuan City, so I don't know about it."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuli nodded slightly, and then asked the Five Elements Sect why they wanted to collect discarded Five Elements coins.
"The materials of these Five Elements coins are special alloys developed by Chen Xianzun. After the Five Elements Sect takes them back, they can be re-smelted and minted into new coins. All they have to do is re-integrate the broken spirit stones."
After hearing Niu Manfeng's explanation, Xiao Yuli was even more surprised: "Is it easy to cast these Five Elements coins?"
"I don't know about this, but I heard from the teacher that in the Huozhen Immortal City in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland, there is a factory that specializes in casting Five Elements coins. Only the five elements sect refining masters with innocent wealth can enter the factory. There are
Many of the ultra-large equipment and magic tools refined by Chen Xianzun are specially used for casting Five Elements coins."
Under Chen Mobai's policy, students from various university palaces in the Eastern Wasteland hold an array master competition every year, so communication is very frequent. It is precisely because of this that Niu Manfeng can know the situation in Huozhen Immortal City.
At Huozhen Academy, because Tan Rong, a disciple of Sheng Zhaoxi, is in charge, the training of weapon refiners is the best.
After Chen Mobai researched the Five Elements Coin, he inspected various university palaces. Considering that she had the most refiners there, she built the coin minting factory there.
Of course, minting coins was a big deal after all, so he sent his cronies Yu Lian to supervise the factory.
For the Tianhe world, the technology of coinage requires the level of a third-level weapon refiner, but for the Immortal Sect, it is just a matter of assembly lines and equipment.
However, the Five Elements Coin is still a bit special, especially the characteristics that require the fusion of broken spirit stones and metal coins, so the equipment needs to be customized according to this requirement.
If it were in the past, Chen Mobai would naturally still have some concerns, but now his status is different.
He directly called Zhou Tiangong from Tiangong Equipment Factory. The latter did not ask the reason and showed him the design drawings the next day. After Chen Mobai revised several versions and finalized the equipment, he
The delivery was completed within half a month.
Chen Mobai was also very grateful for this, and then used the quota at Wuqi Taoist Academy to help Zhou Tiangong reserve a batch of Xianwu Palace's Golden Liquid Jade Returning Pill.
After the mint in Huozhen Immortal City is established, if the machinery and equipment are operating at full capacity, hundreds of millions of Five Elements coins can be minted in a month.
However, taking into account the market acceptance, Chen Mobai has only issued one billion Five Elements Coins for the time being. He will first issue them as a monthly payment to the disciples of the sect, and then through their example consumption in major immortal cities, it has gradually been promoted to the entire East over the years.
shortage.
With the endorsement of the Five Elements Sect, and the fact that these Five Elements coins also possess spiritual energy and can be used for cultivation, these Five Elements coins were easily accepted by the immortal cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland.
It is not that no one wants to mint counterfeit coins, but the superb coin minting skills directly block their ideas.
With a master of this caliber, he can just accept an order and have enough resources to practice for several years, so why risk offending the Five Elements Sect by doing this?
The emergence of the Five Elements Coin directly stimulated the commercial development of the entire Donghuang.
In the past, many things were restricted by payment methods and could only be traded in large quantities. If a casual cultivator wanted to go to a drug store to buy some elixirs, he could only buy enough for one spiritual stone.
For those cultivators who can earn a few spiritual stones, this is really unfriendly because many shops do not accept gold.
And now the emergence of Five Elements Coin gives them more choices.
Originally, some shops were worried that the Five Elements Coin would make their bulk transactions disappear, and the sporadic transactions of casual cultivators would not be able to support their high store rents in the fairy city.
But soon, they discovered that with the introduction of the Five Elements Coin, the market exploded with surprising vitality.
The originally sparse shops saw hundreds of times the number of customers. Although the profits were small, after small profits but quick turnover, they actually made more money. Moreover, after more customers used them, some shops with good reputations began to gradually open up.
They outperformed unscrupulous merchants and stood out. The inventory that was a headache at first was also sold out.
After the lower-level market economy is active, it also drives the upper-level. After things are sold, they naturally need to replenish the goods. The forces behind these stores will purchase more raw materials in large quantities. Some families and sects with flexible minds, and even
Directly using the teleportation array, I went to the territory outside Donghuang and shopped around to purchase cheaper resources.
Xiao Yuli was sitting on the bullock cart, watching the people coming and going on both sides of the street, and the major shops being crowded with people spending money, and she was very touched in her heart.
In the more than two years since she left the Five Emperors Mountain, she has traveled all over the Eastern Territory, but even in the most prosperous Taixu Immortal City, she could not see such a lively scene.
"Senior, we are about to enter the main city. If you are a monk from the outside world, you need to report to the Five Elements Sect and get a visa form for people from the outside world. Then you can spend money in major shops."
Niu Manfeng's words reached Xiao Yuli's ears, but she didn't understand this new term. After the former's explanation, she realized that the so-called visa form was equivalent to a temporary Beiyuan City resident registration.
Without this, it is equivalent to a black household, and regular stores will not dare to sell things to her.
It doesn't matter if it's street food, the stall owner won't look at it.
"But this visa form cannot be used in the lottery..."
What is a lottery?
Xiao Yuli felt like a countryman entering the city. Beiyuan City was full of strange things that she did not understand.
"The lottery is the qualification to purchase the three foundation-building treasures of Danxia Pavilion. My father just took out a loan and bought a house in the suburbs you teleported, just for the lottery, saying that he wanted to buy me a foundation-building treasure.
The three treasures are guaranteed. However, I will definitely join the Five Elements Sect as a genius in the future. As long as I achieve outstanding results, my sect will give it to me..."
Niu Manfeng also answered all questions, and while talking, she drove the bullock cart directly to the place where the certificate was issued.
Xiao Yuli hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow the local customs.
It just so happened that she came here this time to find Emperor Chen Qing, so she should introduce herself here.
Song Huangda looked at Xiao Yuli who walked in with a smile.
He, a foundation-building monk, was not originally responsible for obtaining certificates for foreign monks, but who knew that the person in front of him was a pill-forming monk? Niu Manfeng had also notified Niu Manfeng in advance and asked her to bring him here.
Song Huangda: "Where do fellow Taoists come from?"
Xiao Yuli: "Dongtu!"
Song Huangda: "Can you be more specific?"
After Xiao Yuli was silent for a moment, she said three words: "Five Emperors Mountain!"
Song Huang Dazheng's right hand that was about to pick up the pen to write trembled slightly. He raised his head in shock and glanced at the female cultivator in front of him. After filling in, he swallowed, pointed to the sect/family column in the next column, and opened his mouth to confirm again.
.
Xiao Yuli frowned and glanced at Song Huangda, who seemed to be honest and honest, and felt that this man was really ignorant. There was only one sect on the Five Emperors Mountain, so I still had to ask.
"One Yuan Dao Palace." But she thought that this was Emperor Chen Qing's territory, so she said it anyway.
Hearing this, Song Huangda thought that it was indeed the case, and Niu Manfeng, who followed in, had his mouth wide open with a look of disbelief.
She had already heard the name of the Eastern Land Holy Land from her teachers during her first year at Changsheng Academy.
At the same time, there are rumors that Chen Xianzun of their Five Elements Sect is the Daozi raised by Yiyuan Dao Palace in Donghuang.
Song Huangda: "Senior, what is your surname?"
After hearing about Yiyuan Dao Palace, Song Huangda stopped pretending and became respectful, calling him "senior".
After filling out all the information, General Song Huang handed the stamped visa form to Xiao Yuli with both hands.
"Senior, do you have a place to live? Do you need our Five Elements Sect to arrange it?"
"Can."
Xiao Yuli came here this time just to meet Emperor Chen Qing. Since he reported himself as a family member, he must have contacted the Five Elements Sect.
Song Huangda immediately got up and took her to the top of Beiyuan Mountain.
There were some free fourth-level caves there. After he greeted Eyun with the Heavenly Instrument, he arranged for Xiao Yuli to stay in one of them.
"Senior, the highest place is the leader's other courtyard. Occasionally he and his wife will come to live there for a while. It is also one of the cores of the formation. It has more restrictions and is more dangerous..."
Song Huangda pointed to the yard under the fourth-order longevity tree not far away, and told Xiao Yuli to prevent her from trespassing.
Beiyuan City's small positive and negative Sumeru Nine Palaces Formation has been renovated over the years. Song Huangda personally led the people to arrange it, but the Earthly Network Formation and the fifth-order spiritual veins are still in progress. Yi Shaoqing formed the pill
After the failure, the elites leading the Five Elements Sect's Formation Department were responsible for this.
Xiao Yuli was naturally aware of the criss-crossing and dense restrictions under the Immortal Tree. She felt that this was a very powerful formation. Even if she fell into it, she would have no power to fight back.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful that she came directly to Beiyuan City.
If Emperor Chen Qing had a bad sense of Yiyuan Dao Palace, wouldn't she have fallen into a trap?
Boom!
And just when Xiao Yuli was about to enter her cave, a muffled sound of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Soon afterwards, dark clouds began to pour in from all directions, accompanied by bursts of bursting spiritual energy from heaven and earth, forming a scene that made all the monks in the Tianhe Realm fear like tigers.
Heavenly catastrophe!
Xiao Yuli frowned and looked at the center of the robbery cloud. It was actually a fourth-level cave right next to the center of the Immortal Wood.
Who survives the tribulation?
Just when she was doubting, a middle-aged monk wearing red and black robes had already flown out of the cave. Pieces of blue crystal-like scales were flying all over his body, forming a defense. There was also a handle above his head.
The hairpin-like flying sword shines brightly.
But what made Xiao Yuli look at him was the flying sword that shimmered with water and wood aura surrounding the middle-aged monk.
With her skill as a weapon refiner, she could naturally tell that this flying sword turned out to be the natal magic weapon of the middle-aged monk.
But it is obvious that only Dan-jie monks can refine this life, so why does this guy who has not yet transcended the tribulation actually have one, and it has already been refined into Yuan Zhuan Ruyi, which shows that it was not snatched from someone else's hands.
"Master!"
At this time, Song Huangda, who was beside Xiao Yuli, exclaimed and looked nervously at Liu Wenbai, who was flying in the air and facing the catastrophe.
"Is he your master?"
Xiao Yuli asked politely, and Song Huangda nodded. Before he could say a few words, two spiritual lights had already flown up. They were the two major elixirs of the Five Elements Sect stationed in Beiyuan City.
E Yun and Luo Yixuan.
"I have met this Taoist friend. I am in Eyun, and he is the head of the Five Elements Sect."
After the two flew up, Luo Yixuan went to guard Liu Wenbai, who had overcome the calamity, while E Yun came over to Xiao Yuli and saluted her politely.
"I've met Taoist fellow Hubei."
After Xiao Yuli heard this, she responded calmly.
Not far away, the Heavenly Tribulation had already been triggered.
Streams of crimson thunder flashed on and off, and continued to strike towards Liu Wenbai.
Under the influence of Liu Wenbai's alchemy level spiritual power, the magical weapon Green Scale Armguards exploded with 120% of its power. After blocking six Binghuo sky thunders, all the blue scales on the top of the head were completely shattered.
.
When the seventh thunderbolt fell, Liu Wenbai raised his hand and touched the flying sparrow hairpin above his head, but hesitated for a moment and still did not use it.
He activated his own Qinglian Sword, which he had upgraded to the third level. The blade was like running water, but it also carried the clear divine light of the heavenly wood. He used the sword technique above the Sutra of Immortality to move fire-attributed swords one after another.
Thunder struck down.
But soon, Liu Wenbai also felt a wail coming from the Qinglian Sword, indicating that this third-level low-grade flying sword could no longer hold up in the face of the catastrophe.
He sighed and took out a piece of soap-colored cloth from his storage bag.
As the eldest disciple was going through the tribulation, Chen Mobai naturally helped him arrange the fragments of Qingnu's Xuanguang Soap-carved Flag.
However, Liu Wenbai was a kind-hearted person and thought that crossing the tribulation might damage the vitality of Master's wife's magic weapon, so he used his own magic weapon to top it first. As the flying bird hairpin is a symbol of the great disciples of Xiaonanshan lineage, he was not willing to use it.
After the soap-colored fabric was pulled out, Luo Yixuan, who was frowning next to her, breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that the tribulation was stable.
You must know that even the powerful calamity she faced back then was not able to shake this piece of soap-colored cloth, let alone the calamity Liu Wenbai was about to reach the end of.
Soon, after the soap-colored fabric blocked the last two waves of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
Liu Wenbai showed an expression of relief on his face.
He is exactly one hundred and twenty years old this year.
His spiritual roots were detected at the age of five, he started practicing Qi at the age of eight, he entered the Shenmu Sect at the age of twenty-five, he became a disciple of Chen Mobai at the age of thirty, and became a major disciple of the Xiaonan Mountain lineage. He has been practicing diligently until now.
Looking back on this life, when he first embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he was still a young boy, and his dream was just to become a foundation-building monk like the family ancestor Liu Jingxian.
As for building a core, one only dares to think about it when dreaming. And the older he gets, the more Liu Wenbai understands that with his talent, it takes a huge opportunity to build a foundation.
But now, under Chen Mobai's careful guidance and practicing hard for eighty-five years, he finally succeeded in forming the elixir and realized his dream.
All the hard work, at this moment, Liu Wenbo felt was the most delicious memory.
"Congratulations, senior brother!"
At this time, Luo Yixuan flew over and congratulated Liu Wenbai with a smile.
"Thank you, Junior Sister Luo, for protecting the law."
When Liu Wenbai saw her, he also raised his hand to thank her.
The brothers and sisters have been together for decades, and although their relationship is not very deep, they are the most trustworthy people in each other.
Before the two of them could say a word, they saw a familiar colorful auspicious cloud rising from the direction of the teleportation array in the distance, and soon it came closer.
"Hahaha……"
Before anyone arrived, Chen Mobai's hearty laughter had already reached the ears of everyone on the top of the mountain.
