Chapter 616: Monetary Economy in the Immortal World
The news that Sanxian Island was going to hold a big banquet spread out somehow.
Since Sanxian Island established its sect, apart from the sect’s opening ceremony and Tang Yuan’s Yuan Shen Ceremony, it has never held any grand ceremony. Even Zhou Ju and Xu Zhi’s Yin Shen Dharma Assembly Only a few people from the door attended.
As soon as the news of this banquet was released, it immediately caused an uproar in the Sea of Chaos and even the East China Sea. Tang Yuan had been in seclusion since the Yuan Shen Ceremony and rarely appeared in front of the world.
I don’t know how many people wanted to find out the news but couldn’t. Once the news was released that the banquet was held in all directions and the visitor was a guest, all forces were ready to make a move. They thought of rushing to the Sea of Chaos or making friends. , or temptation, to name a few.
Mu Jin Lao Taoist likes to have fun, otherwise he would not have attended the Wudao Temple ceremony. After Tang Yuan obtained his consent, he decided to take this opportunity to hold a good feast.
Sanxian Island is not only a regional sect, but also a huge chamber of commerce. Sanxian Island’s elixir business has even reached northern Xinjiang, and it has intersection with various forces and has a network of relationships. It's so complicated that this banquet is an opportunity to invite various forces to determine the rules of the elixir industry.
Of course, after Tang Yuan had this idea, he immediately contacted the Taiqing Sect. Last time in the Taixu World, the cooperation between him and Yu Xuzi of the Taiqing Sect was quite good. There is a tacit understanding, which can be regarded as a good relationship.
The Alchemy Talisman Array, these are the Four Arts of Cultivation. They are not like heretics such as counting stars and puppets of the Qi Sect. They are the true cultivation methods that are closely related to cultivation.
So for a first-class sect, there is naturally no shortage of alchemists in the sect, and its own elixirs are enough to support the disciples' practice.
This is also the state of the absolute majority of the top sects and aristocratic families. From production to sales, everything is self-sufficient. Only small and medium-sized sects and casual cultivators need to buy elixirs in the market.
The largest elixir dealers in the Earthly Immortal Realm are Taiqing, Taiqing Sect, Tushita Palace and Xuandu Sect. Among them, Taiqing Sect only deals in high-end elixirs, which are usually customized. Enter Zhuan Ling Dan, while the Xuandu Sect is far away in the South China Sea and only does regional business.
Only the elixir stalls in Tushita Palace are very large, with high, high, and low-end brands. In the past, the elixir business in the immortal world was very chaotic. The elixirs circulating in the market were of varying quality, and even There is no shortage of poison pills for fishing.
Later, the Five Emperors Family and the Tushita Palace joined forces, and Yunmeng Pavilion launched high-quality elixirs produced by the Tushita Palace, occupying the entire market in one fell swoop, and raking in an unknown amount of financial resources for the Tushita Palace and the Five Emperors Family.
Because of this relationship, when the entire earthly immortal world targeted the Five Emperors family in the past, Tushita Palace did not take action.
After the Five Emperors Family and Yunmeng Pavilion withdrew from the stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, Duobao Pavilion quickly took over, and the Three Mountains Letter Talisman quickly replaced the Yunmeng Lettering Talisman, and the entire financial system of the Earthly Immortal World was changed.
The financial system of the Earthly Immortal Realm can be called the elixir standard and the talisman standard. The elixirs and talismans have both circulation properties and practical value. Whoever masters the standards for formulating elixirs and talismans will control the land. The economic lifeline of the fairy world.
Of course, because of the secluded nature of large sects and aristocratic families, the impact of the financial economy is not that great in the Earthly Immortal World.
That’s why Sanxian Island was able to take advantage of this gap, hitch a ride on Duobao Pavilion, and quickly spread its own elixirs to the entire Earth Immortal World.
At least in the East China Sea and the Sea of Chaos, most monks have recognized that the elixirs produced by Sanxian Island have generally equivalent effects.
The remaining half of the country is still occupied by Tushita Palace.
Tang Yuan found Taiqing Palace as an intermediary this time. The main purpose was to make peace with Tushita Palace and jointly formulate the rules for elixirs in the earthly immortal world.
The reason why a newly promoted sect in Sanxian Island has the opportunity to participate in the reform of the alchemy system is not only that it is strong enough.
It is more because before this, many major sects were not too enthusiastic about this matter.
Otherwise, the Yunmeng Talisman of the Five Emperors Family would not have become the currency of the earthly and immortal world. In short, Taoism, Buddha and demons are the masters of all heavens and worlds.
The operating principles of the Earthly Immortal World are the same as those in the previous life but are somewhat different.
For a true immortal like Tang Yuan, whose personal power is enough to dominate the small world, the help that organizations and systems can provide is quite limited.
The resources required for the cultivation of a True Immortal of the Yuan Shen have exhausted countless mysteries, and even the Yanfa cultivators are unable to collect them. The resources required by many souls are different from those required by low-level monks. This is the fundamental reason for the fragmented state of the earthly and immortal world.
When Tang Yuan was in the Tongxuan and Dharma stages, he needed organizations to collect various resources for him to practice. This was also the fundamental reason why he helped the Zhou family in the first place.
The Five Elements True Sand collected by the Zhou family saved him a lot of time. If the Zhou family were stronger, Tang Yuan wouldn't even need to plan the Tiangang Earthly Evil Qi himself. He could just take it and use it, just like today. Same as Sanxian Island.
Although the resources required for the three realms of Golden Elixir, Yin Shen, and Yang Shen are becoming increasingly high-end, they can still be collected by the disciple sect on their behalf.
But when it reaches the level of the Yuan Shen, it changes again. The resources needed by the Yuan Shen are no longer ordinary resources such as vitality, spiritual stones, and spiritual sand.
It is the spiritual beings that can only be born when the world is opened and destroyed. They are pseudo-elixirs such as xenobiotic fruits and ginseng fruits, or even elixirs. They are the illusory laws spread in the great world of Taixu, and the enlightenment of the great road. ...
For a sect, the less the True Immortal Yuanshen can ask for, the more he can give.
This is also the reason why many Yuanshen monks were born, and is even the root cause of the battle between immortals and gods!
The underlying logic of the spiritual world is controlled by these great monks, not the lower-level monks. Therefore, neither capitalism nor shism has taken root and sprouted in the world. The supporting economic system naturally did not become popular.
Most of the top sects in the Earthly Immortal Realm display the characteristics of Buddhism most of the time, they are self-enclosed, they are as good as water, and they benefit all things without fighting!
For Taiqing Sect’s Yuan Shen Overhaul, even if he controls the economic lifeline of the Earthly Immortal World, what can it do? It can help him understand the Dao, survive the decline, and condense the Dao Fruit. Does it work?
At that time, the most important meaning of the sect to them, apart from the direct inheritance of the Three Pure Ones, was nothing more than a group of colleagues who supported each other.
A fellow disciple of the Yuanshen, even if he is not a Yuanshen, must be a great monk with extremely high attainments in a certain aspect, just like the old Taoist Hibiscus.
Of course, when the order of reincarnation is still there, guiding oneself to practice again is the core attraction of the sect to high-level monks.
However, reincarnation has long since changed. Except for a few sects, most of them, including the direct descendants of Sanqing, no longer have the ability to fish people out of reincarnation.
In addition, the sect can also provide a relatively stable practice environment for the master cultivator. The disciples of the sect can also do some tedious things for the master cultivator...
But also That's all.
When the world was at peace, many top sects perished not only from outside, but from within.
The great monks of the sect practiced hard and accepted few disciples. In the end, great powers ascended one after another, and the inheritance left in the earthly immortal world died out.
This is the fundamental reason why the Earthly Immortal Realm has never had a system or a unified currency followed by the world. Even after tens of millions of years, the mortal society is still in a state similar to the feudal era.
Of course, the only exception was the Immortal Dynasty period that briefly existed in the earthly immortal world. At that time, the Immortal Qin and the Immortal Han conquered the heavens and needed to pool resources to support more monks.
At this time, the end of the world is approaching, and a greater war is coming. Even the true immortals of the Yuanshen, and even the Tao Lords, need more golden elixirs, Yuanshen, and Tao Lords to repay each other. The regiment keeps warm in order to deal with the enemy, just like an arms race.
This is one of the reasons why Tang Yuan must spend a lot of energy to establish the sect. Even if among the younger disciples, only Xu Zhi can be promoted to Dao Lord, and Zhou Ju and others can be promoted to Yuanshen, it is still a great help to him.
And by defining the elixirs of Sanxian Island as the general equivalent of the Earthly Immortal Realm, with more resources, he can cultivate more "Zhou Ju"... and even "Xu Zhi"!
In the final analysis, a world where extraordinary power can be attributed to oneself is more like a world of heroic history!
It’s just that this hero will be born among all living beings!
