Chapter 8: Minting Fortune Coins!
One hundred and twenty years later.
Yang Xuan returned to Hutou Village quietly and came to his thatched house.
More than a hundred years are nothing to the prehistoric era.
Hutou Village is still what it was like when Yang Xuan left last time. Even the cultivation of the village chief and others is still the same as it was more than a hundred years ago.
Looking back at Yang Xuan, his changes are much more obvious.
Not only has he perfected the Five Virtues Mysterious Techniques, but his own magic power has become more refined, and his overall strength has been greatly improved.
Moreover, he also abducted a white tiger cub in the ancient ruins.
Although this little white tiger looks dull, it looks like a harmless child.
But he is a genuine true immortal, and he still has the blood of the white tiger, is physically strong, and can control the innate Gengjin energy, which is beyond the reach of ordinary true immortals.
If it weren't for his low intelligence and basically no combat experience, so he could only rely on instinct in everything, even a strong Xuanxian would not be able to do anything to him.
What's more, this little white tiger is probably still an ancient creature. If he can return to his peak state, he will at least be a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Well...if he can return to his peak condition...
Yang Xuan looked at the white tiger cub in his arms and suddenly felt that this was not an easy task.
"Let's take a step and see. At least...this little guy is not just a vase."
Yang Xuan nodded secretly and quickly adjusted his mentality.
Afterwards, Yang Xuan put the little white tiger on the ground and let it play on its own, while Yang Xuan himself sat cross-legged and began to verify his conjecture.
According to Yang Xuan's plan, his first priority is to build a market with Hutou Village as the entry point and plan for the position of God of Wealth in the human race.
After what happened with the tiger demon, if Yang Xuan wanted to establish a market in Hutou Village, it was just a matter of words.
However, there are two important prerequisites for establishing a market.
First, there needs to be goods for sale in the market that are useful to the surrounding human races. Otherwise, how can we attract other people to trade here?
Second, there is a need for a currency for market transactions.
Otherwise, it will only rely on bartering without a unit to measure the value of goods. If it is not managed properly, it will cause chaos and it will be difficult to stabilize the order of the human race.
Therefore, the establishment of currency has become an important prerequisite for building a market.
Only when there is a currency that everyone recognizes, people who go to the market to trade will use it to measure value, and realize that there is a price that can be consulted and a price that can be relied upon!
But this is a prehistoric place where everyone can practice and become an immortal.
If this currency is to be recognized by everyone, it must be helpful for spiritual practice.
If the person the market was facing was Jinxian, Yang Xuan would not waste time thinking about it and just give up.
But if the market is only for heavenly and earthly immortals, then Yang Xuanke will be quite confident, and he even has some ideas on how to do it.
Now, he wants to verify this idea.
He took out a piece of hard ore that contained some spiritual power. As the mana surged, the stone gradually became flat and rounded.
Moreover, during this process, array patterns gradually appeared inside the stone, forming a formation that was not too complicated but somewhat mysterious.
The moment the formation was formed, the surrounding spiritual energy quickly poured into the stone.
What's more important is that, pulled by the formation, when the surrounding spiritual energy pours into the inside of the stone, it will also affect a wisp of undetectable merit and clear energy, flowing into it together.
After this ray of merit flowed into the stone, everything became calm.
At this time, the appearance of the earth and stone changed dramatically, turning into a golden round coin with a red symbol on the front. As long as a creature with enlightened intelligence will understand the meaning of this symbol the moment it sees it, that is - blessing!
This is the currency Yang Xuan plans to use as a measure of value, called the Ford Coin!
This object has two effects on practitioners.
One is that it contains spiritual power, which can speed up the practice.
Although it is not as good as elixirs, it is still beneficial to practice, and it is less difficult to refine. It can be said that you only need to have the skills.
Secondly, this is where the real value of the merit coins lies, that is, when refining, it can condense a ray of merit and purity.
Merit is one of the Five Virtues in the Ancient World. It has never been seen by ordinary creatures, let alone by many powerful Golden Immortals.
Even if a merit coin can only condense an insignificant ray of merit and purity, it is also of great value to earthly immortals and heavenly immortals.
As long as you carry the blessing coins with you, you will become luckier because of the wisp of blessing energy contained in the blessing coins.
This bit of merit will not have any impact in daily life. Don't even think about seeing treasures while walking.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
But when practicing, the 'luck' brought by this wisp of merit and pure energy can have an effect at this time, slightly speeding up the practice.
If you have enough merit coins in your body, the impact will be greater and your practice will become faster.
However, the blessing Qing Qi on the blessing coins was condensed by Yang Xuan based on his original method.
After using it to a certain extent, it will return to heaven and earth. It is different from the merit accumulated on its own and cannot be used for a long time.
The real purpose of the fortune coins is to use them during cultivation to maximize the speed of cultivation.
If you accumulate enough merit coins and use them when you encounter a bottleneck, it can also play a role in breaking through the situation.
Of course, this version of the Fortune Coin is only useful for heavenly immortals, earthly immortals and below beings, and is not very useful for true immortals and mysterious immortals.
But fortunately, after Yang Xuan's investigation, it was found that for a long time from now on, the main target of the market would be the immortals, earthly immortals and below.
At his flying speed, it would only take five years to return to Hutou Village.
The reason why he spent more than a hundred years was to conduct a rough survey of the surrounding forces in Hutou Village on his way back.
He discovered that there were a total of twelve human villages near Hutou Village, among which the strongest ones were late Earth Immortals, not even Celestial Immortals.
Through this microcosm, Yang Xuan guessed that the current human race is probably still dominated by people from heavenly immortals, earthly immortals and below.
If his guess is correct, then the blessing coins will definitely spread quickly in the nine states of the human race.
Naturally, markets will spread all over the human race, and Yang Xuan's reputation will rapidly increase.
As long as the human race becomes more complete and the order becomes more stable due to the emergence of markets and transactions, Yang Xuan can still obtain a amount of humanitarian merit.
After the Ford coins circulated in the human race, he would research a more advanced casting method for the Ford coins and trade them to the human dynasty.
By placing the right to mint currency in official hands and further improving the definition of commodity value, the order of the human race will become more stable.
Now that the currency problem has been solved, as long as there is a batch of attractive products, we can start to establish a market and promote the blessing currency.
As for what products to use to attract the surrounding humans, Yang Xuan already has some ideas through his observations of more than a hundred years before.
If this method is feasible, Yang Xuan can allow the villagers of Hutou Village to rely on their own efforts to maintain the operation of the market and even promote it.
Later, Yang Xuan took out a red ore and some auxiliary materials from his sleeve and began to verify his conjecture...
