Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 713 Reunion with Master Xuanting [Please Subscribe]

The entire cultivation world advocates continuing to use spirit coins and exchanging them for the new currency at an equivalent price. This is the fundamental purpose of the meeting convened by Master Huayang and others.

They themselves had long understood that, given the inability to produce something that would satisfy everyone without major flaws, maintaining the legal usability of spirit coins was the most important thing at the moment.

However, if they say it directly, not only will people not accept it, but it will also make them seem incompetent.

Therefore, the only option is to take a roundabout approach, first making everyone understand the difficulties involved, and then revealing one's true purpose.

And this approach achieved the results they expected.

After several days of debate, many Nascent Soul stage cultivators realized the various difficulties involved and became even more fed up with the argument.

Therefore, after Master Huayang proposed to continue maintaining the legitimacy of spirit coins, most Nascent Soul stage cultivators quickly expressed their agreement.

In this way, even if some Nascent Soul cultivators had other ideas, they could not go against the general trend.

After Huayang Zhenren's suggestion was unanimously approved, Huayang Zhenren then brought up the issue of the number of spirit coins to be issued.

Since it has been determined that spirit coins will be phased out after a thousand years, it is only natural to start strictly controlling the issuance of spirit coins now.

Otherwise, when a new currency emerges and is exchanged for Spirit Coins, it will undoubtedly consume a large amount of new money and waste a lot of resources.

This was also the first time Zhou Chun had learned in detail about the issuance quantity of spirit coins.

What is beyond the imagination of ordinary people is that the number of spirit coins issued is not related to the economic resources of the cultivation world of each country, but is linked to the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators!

If a country has a large number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, including mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators and even late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they can produce and issue more spirit coins every hundred years!

In a unified manner across the entire human cultivation world, the extra spirit coins issued by these countries compared to other nations can indirectly plunder the resources of other cultivation worlds!

This kind of plundering does not require bloodshed, does not result in large-scale deaths, and can effectively protect the high-end forces of the entire human race.

The key point is that the plundered countries are not without hope and opportunity to turn things around, as long as they produce more Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Currently, Jingguo only has six Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and only one of them, True Person Silver Moon, is a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

However, Zhou Chun possesses three fifth-tier demon king spirit pets, so when calculating combat power, all three demon king spirit pets must naturally be taken into account.

Therefore, in reality, the amount of spirit coins issued by Jingguo was equivalent to that of nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

This level is considered to be above average in all countries of the human cultivation world.

However, due to Zhou Chun's reasoned argument, four out of the five extra Nascent Soul stage cultivators allocated to their Zhou family should belong to their family.

In other words, if each early Nascent Soul cultivator's share is equal to ten million spirit coins over a hundred years, then forty million spirit coins will be directly allocated to the Zhou family from the spirit coins issued by the Moon Wheel Sect in the next hundred years!

On the other hand, although the Yan Yang Sect had two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the Moon Wheel Sect ultimately only allocated them 15 million spirit coins!

This is one of the great advantages that the Moon Wheel Sect has as the leader of a country, and it is also one of the reasons why Zhou Chun has always wanted the Zhou family to become the leader of the Jing Kingdom.

However, for every benefit gained, a corresponding price must be paid.

Although the Zhou family will receive four shares of the huge sum this time, they also need to write off the corresponding four shares of "foreign currency".

This means that they want to help other countries repurchase and destroy a certain portion of their spiritual currency.

This is done, of course, to prevent the issuance of spirit coins without their circulation, which would lead to an uncontrolled surge in the number of spirit coins in the cultivation world, causing large-scale currency devaluation and inflation.

Overall, the amount of foreign currency written off is far less than the amount issued.

In other words, the Zhou family will definitely make a fortune in this process!

Generally speaking, to avoid trouble, people simply exchange and sell to each other.

The Zhou family simply found a powerful force in a foreign country, exchanged the spirit coins issued by the Moon Wheel Sect in their treasury for spirit coins issued by the other party's country, and then destroyed these spirit coins under the supervision and witness of a third-party supervisor.

The Zhou family had never been involved in these matters before.

After all, Zhou Chun had only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a short time, and he had a very unpleasant falling out with the Moon Wheel Sect. Naturally, the Moon Wheel Sect would delay as much as possible and would not give them the share they were entitled to.

Now the two sides have temporarily reached a truce. The Moon Wheel Sect still wants to take a share from the Zhou family, so they will definitely have to make up for what they owe them, and also let them understand their responsibilities and obligations.

Zhou Chun was also greatly surprised and intrigued by this method of currency issuance and cancellation that completely disregarded economic principles.

If he had just come into this world, he would definitely have had a hard time understanding this situation.

But things are different now.

Now he knows that the cultivation world is vast, and some high-end items are extremely expensive.

For example, if a high-grade magic weapon were to be valued in spirit coins, it could cost tens of millions of spirit coins!

So if you really want to buy back and cancel the Spirit Coins, it's not that difficult.

Moreover, the cultivation world holds countless unknown resources, including those from alien territories for independent cultivators to explore and acquire. Furthermore, many spirit coins are lost forever in some unknown place or destroyed in storage bags when cultivators perish.

In addition, there were losses caused by the war.

As long as the powers that issue spirit coins in various countries still have some economic awareness and don't go crazy and over-issue spirit coins for hundreds or thousands of years, it will be quite difficult to cause inflation in the entire human cultivation world.

Returning to the topic of this conference, after discussion, everyone agreed to reduce the future issuance of spirit coins.

The final result will likely be a reduction of 30% from the original issuance amount.

After all the matters to be discussed were settled, the numerous Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had gathered gradually dispersed.

Zhou Chun returned to Jingguo with Yinyue Zhenren this time.

If the cultivators and independent practitioners of the smaller and medium-sized forces in Jing Kingdom are to accept spirit coins as legal tender again, both sides will need to work together.

In addition, they also need to make a general discussion about the share of resources each party should contribute to this matter.

More than a month later, Zhou Chun and Yin Yue Zhenren simultaneously announced the official "market rescue" measures. Their two major factions' shops began to supply various commonly used cultivation materials in unlimited quantities to help Jingguo cultivators rebuild their trust in spirit coins.

In fact, many of these supplies were stockpiled by them using information obtained through foresight.

If you sell it now at a price slightly higher than what you bought it for, you can still make a profit!

Meanwhile, cultivators from smaller and medium-sized forces and independent cultivators should thank them for their "market-saving" measures!

This demonstrates the importance of wielding power.

Having power truly means you can do whatever you want!

What's even more terrifying is that even if those small and medium-sized forces and independent cultivators are fully aware of the ins and outs of this matter, they can only obediently choose to accept it!

Having dealt with the crisis of trust caused by inflation, Zhou Chun focused on his secluded cultivation, digesting the gains he had made at the "Tianyi Dharma Assembly".

He obtained several pieces of "Geng metal" this time, which were quite substantial.

If they could be refined and used to cultivate the [Formless Geng Metal Divine Light] supernatural power, it would surely greatly increase the power of this supernatural power.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

After several years of buffering and verification, and with the joint efforts of major forces in the cultivation world of various countries, the crisis of trust in spirit coins has finally been greatly alleviated.

I wouldn't say that the rogue cultivators have fully recovered to the state they were in before the crisis, but at least they no longer reject accepting spirit coins as payment.

Compared to before, they now prefer to exchange spirit coins for magic talismans, spirit gold, and other so-called hard currencies that are easier to convert into cash and easier to store.

While the major powers also sensed something was amiss about this phenomenon, they knew it couldn't be reversed in a short time.

Anyway, once a few decades have passed and most of the low-level rogue cultivators of this generation have passed away, the situation will naturally improve.

Meanwhile, at Zhou Chun's insistence, the Moon Wheel Sect had already delivered the first batch of manufactured and issued spirit coins to the Zhou family.

The total number is approximately 1.2 million, all of which are newly minted coins.

Every few years thereafter, the Moon Wheel Sect will deliver the newly produced coins directly to the Zhou family according to the agreed share.

These spirit coins can be considered a fixed income, which is very stable.

With such a stable income, the Zhou family's financial situation will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

In the future, there will be no need to hoard millions of spirit coins at all times as before, just in case.

As for Zhou Chun personally, with the assistance of top-tier spiritual metal such as [Gengjin], his [Formless Gengjin Divine Light] divine ability is also progressing rapidly, with its power increasing day by day.

If everything goes smoothly, after he has refined all the [Gengjin] in his hands, and then diligently practices for several decades, this supernatural power will have a chance to reach the great mastery stage.

At that time, even without the help of spirit pets, ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators might not be able to defeat him.

Meanwhile, during these years, the Ice Moon Toad, which Zhou Chun had been focusing on cultivating, also made rapid progress in its cultivation. It seemed that it would be able to enter the realm of a third-tier high-grade demon beast in a few more years.

If all goes well, it might advance to become a fourth-tier demon beast within twenty years!

It can be said that everything is developing in a positive direction, both for the Zhou family and for Zhou Chun himself.

On this day, Master Xuanting, who had previously visited the Zhou family seeking a deal, returned to the Zhou family once again.

"What a rare guest! Fellow Daoist Xuan Ting's arrival truly brings honor to our humble abode!"

Outside Qinglian Peak, after learning the news, Zhou Chun personally went out of the mountain-protecting formation to welcome Xuan Ting Zhenren's visit.

Compared to the last time, this time, perhaps having already heard about Lord Fushan, Master Xuanting's attitude towards him was much more amiable.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too kind. Your reputation is now widespread, and it is truly my honor to be personally received by you!"

Xuan Ting Zhenren exchanged pleasantries and then followed Zhou Chun into the Zhou family's mountain gate.

This time, Zhou Chun took him directly to his cave dwelling and entertained him in the living room.

After exchanging pleasantries, Master Xuanting quickly took the initiative to explain his purpose.

"I wonder if the agreement we made last time still stands? I've been waiting for many years, and it's no longer appropriate to delay any longer!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and said, "I always keep my word. Since I made a promise with Fellow Daoist Xuan Ting, of course I won't go back on my word!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanting breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing about Lord Fushan's situation, Master Xuanting was worried before he came that Zhou Chun might renege on the agreed terms because of his improved strength and want to make him make more concessions in the transaction.

He had even considered that, in extreme circumstances, it was not impossible to make further concessions in other areas.

Now that Zhou Chun is willing to keep his promise and continue to fulfill the agreement according to the original terms, this is undoubtedly a great thing for him.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed a trustworthy person. I haven't misjudged you. When can we proceed with the transaction?"

"Since Fellow Daoist Xuanting cares so much about this matter, let's do it today, since there's no time like the present."

Zhou Chun gave him a deep look, then smiled and said something that made him beam with joy.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is so kind. Then I thank you in advance."

Master Xuanting was slightly taken aback, then bowed to him without any attempt to hide his gratitude.

Zhou Chun immediately summoned the Silver Dragon Lord and explained the relevant matters.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, Silver Dragon Lord didn't hesitate and immediately reverted to his original form.

Then, he let out a low groan, and his body shone brightly with silver light as he shook his dragon body. Seventy-two silver dragon scales fell off his body like snowflakes.

Including the dragon scales that Zhou Chun had collected from it before, there are exactly eighty-one!

"Thank you for your hard work. Take these medicinal herbs and rest and recover in your cave!"

Seeing the Silver Dragon Lord, who had lost a large number of dragon scales and was severely weakened, Zhou Chun reached out and touched the dragon horns on its head with a pained expression, and then handed over all the tonics he had prepared to it.

"Then Xiaolong will go down first."

Silver Dragon responded weakly and immediately took the tonics back to his lair.

For the next considerable period of time, he had to spend it inside the nest.

To truly return to his previous peak condition, even with the help of various tonics collected by Zhou Chun, it would be difficult to do so without decades of quiet cultivation.

After watching his beloved pet depart, Zhou Chun turned to Xuan Ting Zhenren and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Ting, the dragon scales you requested are here. Now, you can hand over the complete cultivation method of the 'Qiankun Zhuanling Jue' to me!"
