Chapter 267 Thoughts on Currency
Star liquid is, to put it bluntly, liquefied innate spiritual energy. In the past, the cultivation environment was harsh, and the world was filled with acquired spiritual energy. Only some cave heavens and blessed places retained innate spiritual energy.
Things are rare and valuable, which creates the preciousness of innate spiritual energy. But now, innate aura is like air, everywhere, so it is naturally difficult to be as sought after as before.
Monks are all profit-seeking. When they find that innate spiritual energy is no longer rare and they can only take a breath of air, they will naturally look for something better.
The liquefied innate spiritual energy star liquid was abandoned by the monks and turned to pursue the more valuable star crystals, star marrow, and even pearls.
This is what makes Ao Bing depressed. The monetary system he formulated was no problem at the time. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
As the starry sky slowly recovers, the low-level currency he designed has shown signs of being eliminated by the times before it has begun to circulate.
For Ao Bing, this is definitely not a good thing. After all, he has gained a lot of luck in recent years by relying on these low-level currencies.
If they are eliminated and abolished now, most of this luck will inevitably be lost.
Of course, the lost luck will be made up from elsewhere. But if it is lost, it is lost. Even if it is replenished, it will not change the fact that part of the luck has been lost.
Ao Bing is very greedy. When it comes to luck, he has always only allowed it to come in and not come out. Therefore, he must find a way to prevent low-level currencies from being eliminated.
He already has an idea for this method, which is to increase the value of low-level currency. As long as its value increases, there is no need for Ao Bing to do anything. The profit-seeking monks will spontaneously pursue low-level currencies.
As for how to increase its value, Ao Bing currently has two ideas in mind.
The first is to pass down the method of condensing star liquid into star marrow. Although the value of star liquid is low, the value of star marrow is high, and star marrow is precisely the product of highly condensed star liquid.
As long as the method of refining star liquid into star marrow is passed down, its value will naturally increase.
However, this rule of law does not cure the root cause, because according to the current trend, as the world continues to recover, the value of the Star Marrow will be destroyed sooner or later.
What can maintain its value now is the cultivation resource that is more precious than the Star Essence, the pearl that is transformed by the essence of the sun and the moon and contains the spirit of immortality.
The method of refining star marrow passed down can only cure the symptoms, but not the root cause. Therefore, Ao Bing did not expect much from this method. He mainly placed his hope on the second method.
Use money to replace mana and activate the magic weapon.
If this method is successful, it will not only be low-level currency, but all currencies created by Ao Bing will have their value greatly improved, becoming a necessity for practice and an indispensable thing for monks.
It takes mana to activate the magic weapon. In other words, the power that a magic weapon can emit is not only related to its level, but also to the amount of mana it absorbs.
The more magic power is absorbed, the stronger the power of the magic weapon will be. This is a well-known fact.
However, it is precisely because of this characteristic of the magic weapon that low-level monks are often unable to activate high-level magic weapons.
Just like Ao Bing, although he possesses an incomplete innate treasure - Pangu Jade Tower, he rarely uses this treasure.
Did he not want to?
No, it's because he can't do it.
Pangu Jade Tower is too powerful. Every time it is revived, it requires a huge amount of innate vitality. With Ao Bing's little mana, ten thousand more will be useless compared to the needs of Pangu Jade Tower.
So, although Ao Bing got the Pangu Jade Tower, he couldn't use it at all. He could only use it as a life-saving thing. When he was dying, he hoped that the Pangu Jade Tower would revive on its own and protect him from death. As for taking the initiative to activate Pangu Yulou, at least he has to wait until he reaches the level of the Mythical Great Luo before he can barely qualify.
Due to insufficient mana, low-level monks cannot activate high-level magic weapons. To solve this problem, in the past, we could only rely on the monks to work hard to improve their strength.
But now, Ao Bing has a new idea. That is to use the currency of star liquid, star crystal, and star marrow to replace the monk's mana to activate the magic weapon.
Subject to realm, the mana in a monk's body is limited, but the currencies of star liquid, star crystal, and star marrow are unlimited.
As long as they can be used instead of mana to activate magic weapons, even low-level monks can activate innate treasures.
The power contained in a drop of Star Liquid is equivalent to one year of cultivation of a Celestial Immortal; one year of spiritual crystal is equivalent to one year of cultivation of a Black Immortal; and one piece of Star Marrow is equivalent to one year of cultivation of a Golden Immortal.
A pearl is equivalent to one year of cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal...
The power contained in one pearl may not be able to activate the innate treasure, but what about ten million or billions of them?
Ao Bing still didn't believe it. Billions of pearls burned together, and the power exploded was not enough to awaken the innate treasure.
Similarly, monks who have not become immortals have limited mana and cannot activate the innate spiritual treasures, but as long as they are willing to burn the star liquid, they can still awaken their power.
Burning a hundred drops of spiritual liquid is a hundred years of cultivation of an immortal, which is completely enough to push the power of a low-grade innate spiritual treasure to its limit.
For all the monks in the prehistoric era, especially those with a background, if currencies such as star liquid and star crystals can really activate magic weapons, it will undoubtedly be a great joy and can bring great benefits. Improve their strength.
Once this comes true, the currencies of Star Liquid, Star Crystal and Star Marrow will immediately become the most important strategic resource in the ancient world.
All the forces in the world, and even all the monks, will hoard them in large quantities to prepare for emergencies.
As for depreciation? I'm afraid this will never happen again. These currencies are inherently consumables. After having the ability to activate magic weapons, the consumption rate will even increase thousands or tens of thousands of times.
In this case, how can these currencies depreciate? No matter how much they are, they can be consumed. I’m not afraid of too much at all, I’m just afraid of not having enough.
It can be foreseen that once Ao Bing's plan comes true, from now on, the prehistoric world will be in a situation of lack of these currencies for a long time, and people will buy them everywhere and exchange them for all kinds of natural materials and treasures.
At the same time, Ao Bing's goal of promoting currency and making it circulate throughout the world will naturally be achieved.
The ancient monks have a natural enthusiasm for becoming stronger. As long as it is something or something related to becoming stronger, it can spread spontaneously without publicity.
Using currency to activate magic weapons is the fastest and most effective way to become stronger. At the same time, it is also the best advertisement. Once it appears, it will immediately cause shock.
......
These are Ao Bing's ideas. They are very good ideas, but how to implement them is a problem.
This is what Ao Bing is worried about now. He is thinking about how to promote his idea.
Convert the currencies of star liquid and star crystal into mana, or mana-like power, thereby bypassing the monks and directly activating the magic weapon.
