The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 177 Six Swords

As the No.20 fourth-generation head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Ma Tianyi was the leader of the Zhongzhou cultivation world during the third Lingshi financial crisis, and worked with President Lu Yang to create the Lingshi Reserve Bank.

In addition to being the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect and the first Ascension Immortal in modern times, Ma Tianyi is also the master of the third Ascension Immortal Xiao Huang, the current brother of Lin Jianxing, the current head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and the founder of the Kyushu Currency Union. Senior Bo Nanke His second direct disciple.

Since Ma Tianyi stepped into the fairy gate just when the second Lingshi financial crisis broke out, and happened to soar in the daylight when the third Lingshi financial crisis reached its climax, he has witnessed the Kyushu Currency Union and the Lingshi Reserve Bank. The rise and fall of the modern cultivation currency system is also considered to be an important historical figure connecting the past and the future in the cultivation world of Kyushu.

Even President Lu Yang has publicly stated more than once that without the full support of the head of Ma, the establishment of the Lingshi Reserve Bank would not be possible. In terms of the political structure of the cultivation world in Kyushu, during the period when he was in charge, the power of the Wuliang Sword Sect also reached the strongest level in history.

Although the outlying islands and the outside world are isolated by the Jiuzhuan Tianshu formation, this does not mean that the information on the outlying islands is blocked.

Since the outlying islands are located in the center of the ocean trade routes in the Eastern Ocean, there are often ocean-going merchant ships berthing at the port. Xu Tong's news is even better than some hermit sects and hermit families hidden in the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the mainland.

The story of Ma Tianyi, the flying immortal, is not only a well-known legend in the cultivation world of Kyushu, even Xu Tong, who is far away on an outlying island, has heard it since he was a child, and his ears are almost callused.

Suddenly hearing that Lin Dong was a disciple of Ma Tianyi, how could Yang Lu and Xu Tong not be shocked?
Xu Tong immediately cupped his hands to Lin Dong and said, "It turns out that Lin Xianshi is the descendant of the head of Ma Tianyi! It is said that before the ascension of the head of Ma, he had received three high-level disciples, namely Xiao Huang, the immortal of Feisheng, and his Taoist companion. , as well as Senior Elder Cheng Shuying of your sect, I don't know which senior master Lin Xianshi is a teacher of?"

Xu Tong originally planned to take the opportunity to compliment Lin Dong, but the smile on Lin Dong's face froze instantly.Because Xu Tong's unintentional question just hit Lin Dong's sore spot!

But since Xu Tong asked the question so bluntly, it would be inappropriate for Lin Dong not to say a word, so he could only reply with twitching corners of his mouth: "I am not a student of any of them, my direct ancestor is the head of Ma Named disciple... Senior Mingzhu!"

Senior Mingzhu?

Hearing this answer, everyone showed strange expressions.

In the world of Kyushu's comprehension, being a named disciple doesn't mean being humble.Most of the reasons why cultivators accept registered disciples are due to various reasons. They cannot accept the other party as a direct disciple, so they have to adopt this compromise method to teach the other party some cultivation knowledge that does not involve the sect's core secrets.

Tian Daxiao and Li Qingyang are typical cases.

Neither of them were disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and Tian Daxiao was even born in the Shenhuo Sect, which had always had rifts with the Wuliang Sword Sect.

According to the sect rules of the Wuliang Sword Sect, no matter how high the status is, President Lu, who is from the Wuliang Sword Sect, cannot accept them as personal disciples. He can only accept them as registered disciples to impart the knowledge of cultivation economics.

Even though the two are not direct disciples of President Lu, and both of them are now big figures standing at the apex of Kyushu's power, they will still regard themselves as the registered disciples of President Lu and be proud of being the registered disciples.

But the situation of Lin Dong's patriarch Mingzhu is different.

Although Mingzhu is also a registered disciple of the head of Ma Tianyi, the relationship between the two is very strange.

It is said that during the third Lingshi financial crisis, this senior Mingzhu had already practiced to the early stage of foundation establishment, but because of the third Lingshi financial crisis broke out suddenly, including Lingshi coupons, Lingshi vein stocks, Lingshi coins, standard Prices of various assets, including spirit stones, fluctuated violently, and countless practitioners went bankrupt as a result.

Mingzhu is one of the many victims of the financial crisis.

What's even more outrageous is that, because this senior Mingzhu couldn't accept the cruel reality that his decades of savings had been ruined, he became so mad that he went mad, causing his own cultivation to fall back to the level of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

For a while, the "big leek candle" who made himself mad became a well-known figure in the cultivation world of Kyushu, and his limelight even overshadowed Li Qingyang and Tian Daxiao at the same time.

Under normal circumstances, this life would be completely ruined if he became the laughing stock of the cultivation world.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as an unparalleled road. Due to the sharp decline in his cultivation, Mingzhu once again participated in the outer battlefield trial as a monk in the Qi refining period, and this trial took place during the third Lingshi financial crisis. The protagonist happened to be They are the two future Ascension Immortals——

Lu Yang and Xiao Huang!
Even if these two famous Ascension Immortals are excluded, the lineup for this extraterritorial battlefield trial can be called a star-studded lineup. The participants also include Li Qingyang, the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, Tong Xingu, the Supreme Elder of Zijin Pavilion, and Shenxiaozong. Ye Wan, the head of the sect, Lu Youde, the elder of the Shenhuo Sect, Xiao Nan, the elder of the Yufeng School, and many other famous figures in the cultivation world today.

It is precisely because he once fought side by side with Immortal Feisheng that Mingzhu, the "well-known leek in the cultivation world", has miraculously turned around!
According to the rumors in the market, because Mingzhu has made great contributions to protecting Lu Yang and Xiao Huang, Ma Tianyi, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, couldn't bear to see him depressed, so he made an exception and accepted Mingzhu, who already had a teacher, as his registered disciple, and came forward to deal with it for him. Some mundane things are somewhat similar to He Mingyuan's role in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

It's a pity that Mingzhu's cultivation foundation suffered irreversible damage due to his obsession. Even with the guidance of Immortal Feisheng himself, he still only cultivated to the golden core stage in the end.

And after Ma Tianyi was promoted, Ming Zhu was imprisoned by the Wuliang Sword Sect in the notorious Qishan Prison for violating the sect rules.

It is precisely because this senior Mingzhu has the reputation of "investment failure leading to madness and imprisonment", when people talk about Ma Tianyi's disciples, they will always ignore this unlucky ghost intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Dong would only say that he is the descendant of Ma Tianyi, but not the direct descendant of "Big Leek Bright Candle".

In front of everyone, Xu Tong asked him who is the descendant of Ma Tianyi's disciple.

Seeing that Lin Dong's expression was about to lose his temper, Han Fulai hurriedly came forward to smooth things over and said, "Island Master Xu, although Lin Xianshi is young, he not only has the sixth level of Qi training, but also has the limitless sword Pai Wushang inherits the essence of the [Six Paths Sword], and wants to eliminate the mere cultivators of the Shenhuo Sect at the early stage of refining Qi, it is like picking something out of a bag!"

Hearing Han Fulai's flattery, Lin Dong, who had a stiff expression on his face, relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With his strength, even the talented Wuliang Sword Sect can be said to be invincible at the same level. If he can lose even this, then the Wuliang Sword Sect will be in vain as the Seventh Master of Kyushu. Head of the pie.

And Xu Tong, who was a little disappointed at first, became excited again after listening to Han Fulai's introduction.

When he saw Yang Lu and Lin Dong appearing at the same time, he thought that the Wuliang Sword Sect was planning to send two early-stage Qi-refining monks to besiege Tian Beixi, but he never expected that this Immortal Master Lin turned out to be a dignified Qi-refining sixth-level monk !
A monk at the sixth level of Qi refining is countless times stronger than two monks at the third level of Qi refining!
What's more, Wuliang Sword Sect's kendo attacking technique can be called the strongest in Kyushu's cultivation world.Even though Xu Tong's family has lived in outlying islands for dozens of generations, this does not prevent him from hearing the name of the most powerful offensive move in Kyushu [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword, One Thought of Infinite Calamity].

This is almost a well-known plot in the comprehension world!

It is said that during the second Lingshi financial crisis, the financial system of Kyushu's cultivation world has already collapsed due to deflation.

Not only Kyushu has its own independent currency system, but even within each continent, the currency system is in a state of fragmentation. Countless cultivators have been cut leeks back and forth because of the large fluctuations in the exchange rate, and some places have even directly regressed back to "bartering". "In the primitive period, the Kyushu trade was completely suspended.

You must know that a cultivator has a noble status, and it is impossible to go to the mine to mine, nor to go to the deep mountains and old forests to pull out the elixir, and it is even more impossible to expend energy to dig the earth.

After all, in addition to pursuing longevity, cultivators want to be a master. If they want to be miners and farmers after practicing for a long time, they might as well go home and pick up their children.

Therefore, cultivators who want to collect cultivation resources without delaying their own cultivation rely heavily on a complete economic system.

However, during the second Lingshi financial crisis, the financial system of Kyushu completely collapsed. Not to mention the ocean trade across the continent, even the cross-regional trade such as Haiya City and Tianshu City encountered huge obstacles.

Because everyone does not recognize each other's currency, and the level of standardization of elixir and magic weapon in the cultivation world is very low, there is a 99% probability that I don't need the extra things you want, and there is a 99% probability that I don't have the things you want. It is as difficult as heaven to reach a deal through barter.

Even if someone tries to return to the most primitive Lingshi standard currency system, but Lingshi is in a state of severe deflation, and the price is rising three times a day like Feitian Moutai, which makes it difficult for cultivators to obtain cultivation resources outside the region .

If the monk in Borneo happens to need the black iron from Zhongzhou, he can only drive the light to drive more than 20 miles to Luanshi City to collect goods, and he also depends on what he has in his hand. Whether the owner of the black iron mine wants it or not, if he takes If you can't produce what the other party wants, it's equivalent to a waste of time.

If all cultivators use this method to collect cultivation resources, except Yang Lu, who can practice in dreams, other people will have no time to meditate and practice besides traveling and collecting materials.

In addition, the tsunami-like Lingshi financial crisis has also brought about severe economic recession and population decline, and a smaller population means that the total amount of merit bestowed by heaven is becoming less and less, and the involution of existing monks will be more intense .

Even if the financial crisis is left alone, it will end one day.

According to the natural law of economic development, as the population gradually decreases, the number of practitioners will gradually wither.

With the sharp decline in the population of cultivators, per capita cultivation resources will become more abundant, and the long-term deflation trend of Lingshi will eventually end, and the Kyushu cultivation world will be able to return to the era of Lingshi-based currency until the next Lingshi financial When the crisis comes, the Lingshi-based currency system will be destroyed again. This process is like the change of dynasty in ancient China. It needs to go through brutal wars and recessions to pave the way for the next prosperous age.

However, the natural instinct of human beings is against nature. Although sacrificing one generation can pave the way for the next generation, no one is willing to be the sacrificed generation, especially the long life span of cultivators and the comprehension brought about by the economic recession. Naturally, the clearing of the population is slower, so the practitioners have never given up trying to save the financial crisis.

In order to re-stabilize the financial situation in Kyushu, Bo Nanke, then head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, decided to promote the Kyushu currency union system.

According to Bo Nanke's idea, the Kyushu Currency Union requires the cooperation of the seven major sects of Kyushu, and uses the spiritual stone reserves of their respective sects as collateral to issue new currencies in other major states——

Spirit Stone Coupon!
The system includes seven kinds of spirit stones with different attributes, seven kinds of spirit stone coupons with different attributes, and two auxiliary coins of gold and silver, with a total of 16 basic currencies. In theory, each spirit stone coupon can be exchanged for the corresponding spirit stone of equal face value stone.

To give a simple example, the Wuliang Sword Sect holds the super water spirit stone vein, so they can use the water spirit stone as collateral to issue water spirit stone vouchers outside Zhongzhou. Anyone who holds the water spirit stone voucher can come to the Zhongzhou Wuliang Sword Sect headquarters Exchange the same amount of water spirit stones.

That is to say, water spirit stone coupons must be obtained in several other continents, but if you want to really exchange them for water spirit stones, you need to take the water spirit stone coupons to Zhongzhou for a trip.

In this way, the spirit stone coupons circulating on each continent can basically only be exchanged for real spirit stones in other continents, which significantly reduces the pressure on the payment of spirit stone coupons, even if cross-state spirit stone coupon arbitrageurs are too rampant Moreover, the Kyushu Currency Union can also prevent cross-border foreign exchange arbitrage transactions by limiting the upper limit of spirit stone coupons that each monk can carry abroad.

Under such a genius currency system, the total issuance of spirit stone coupons reached more than four times the actual spirit stone reserves of the various sects at its peak, which greatly eased the long-term currency problems faced by the spirit stone standard currency. Austerity problem.

However, the establishment of the Kyushu Currency Union means that the financial power of Kyushu will be concentrated in the Wuliangjian School headed by Bo Nanke. Therefore, after the "Bo Nanke Plan" was proposed, it immediately encountered Wanhua Valley, Zijinge, Guiyimen, and Shenhuozong. collective opposition.

In order to eliminate the concerns of the four sects, Bo Nanke decided to challenge the four masters by himself.If Bo Nanke wins, the four sects must unconditionally support the Kyushu Currency Union to issue spirit stone coupons. If Bo Nanke loses, the Wuliangjian Sect will no longer force these four sects to join the Kyushu Currency Union.

Although Bo Nanke is a tenth-level monk of Yuanying, and his cultivation base ranks first in Kyushu, it is still too unthinkable to single out the heads of the four overlord-level sects, so the four sects took over. a bet.

But no one expected that after Bo Nanke cultivated the Six Paths Sword to the ultimate realm of the tenth level of Yuanying, he actually learned a powerful killer move that no one has ever seen before, and no one will come since——

Infinite thought!

It was by virtue of this supreme move that Bo Nanke defeated the joint siege of the four sects, and let the four sects bow down.

After this shocking gambling battle, the Kyushu Currency Union, the predecessor of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, was formally established and successfully resolved the second Lingshi financial crisis. It was not officially withdrawn from history until the third Lingshi financial crisis broke out 1500 years later. stage.
