[Ask for monthly tickets.]
When Green Emperor heard that he would have crystals to eat in the future, his eyes immediately lit up and he happily ran to the cave entrance, squatted down, and sat in front of the crystal mine. He narrowed his eyes and kept scanning the surroundings, as if he was ready to keep an eye on the crystal mine at all times and not let anyone steal any crystal from him.
In its eyes, this was already the most delicious food.
There can be no room for accidents.
Yi Tianxing saw it and just shook his head without saying anything else. As long as the Green Emperor didn't speak, it would be perfect. Moreover, with the Green Emperor guarding here, it would definitely be a no-entry zone, which could guarantee that no outsiders would enter the crystal mine. It was absolutely safe.
"Zhengchun, go tell Mr. Huang to bring some people over. Also, ask Xue Jin to come over. Ask Yang Yanping to bring a group of soldiers over."
Yi Tianxing quickly opened his mouth and gave orders.
Finding the crystal mine is of great significance. Although we still don't know how much the crystal mine reserves are, it is already an unimaginable wealth for now. This spiritual mine belongs to Xuanhuang Village. But the temptation of the crystal stone should not be underestimated. This is a treasure that can quickly increase the cultivation of the cultivators. Who knows if someone will not be able to withstand the temptation and eventually steal it.
With Green Emperor here, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Cao Zhengchun left quickly.
Not a moment.
A team of soldiers, led by Yang Yanping, rushed over quickly.
Huang Chengyan and Xue Jin were also among them.
"My lord, we have really found the spiritual mine." Huang Chengyan asked with excitement in his eyes.
"Quick, surround this area. No one is allowed to get close." Yang Yanping waved his hand and directed the soldiers who came to quickly turn the entire area around the crystal mine into a warning area.
"My lord, this is the spiritual mine. The spiritual energy inside is indeed rich. Legend has it that the spiritual mine is the materialization of the essence of heaven and earth. It has a huge appeal to cultivators. It can speed up the cultivation process. With this spiritual mine, our entire Xuanhuang Village will have a great foundation. The growth rate will definitely be faster."
Xue Jin's eyes lit up.
He was born into a merchant family, and was more sensitive to money than anyone else. He could feel that ordinary gold and silver would definitely not circulate among the monks. Only crystal stones that were useful to the monks could have value and purchasing power among the monks. The existence of spiritual ore was undoubtedly the most common treasure for cultivation, and even one of the necessities for cultivation.
It is also the item most likely to become currency.
Moreover, he had heard Huang Chengyan mention before that as long as crystal ore was found, real currency could be minted. Therefore, he had long guessed that these crystal stones might be the currency in Xuanhuang Village in the future, or even the currency in the entire Eternal Continent.
As a businessman, he knew very well that only currency could promote the development of the entire force.
"I plan to use these crystals to mint currency suitable for Xuanhuang Village today. In the future, these currencies will be managed by Wanbao Palace. Even the right to mint coins will be handed over to Wanbao Palace. Crystal ore is the raw material for minting coins. You used to be a business genius. I called you here this time just to hear if you have any suggestions on coin minting."
Every profession has its own specializations, and Yi Tianxing has never thought of himself as a jack of all trades. It is impossible to be good at everything.
You can only control the direction. For some things, it is most accurate to ask professionals.
"My Lord, it is obviously very correct to use spiritual ore crystals to mint currency. The Eternal Continent will surely enter the cultivation civilization now, and the number of cultivators will increase. As for Xuanhuang Village today, ordinary gold and silver are no longer suitable for transactions."
"The reason why currency is currency is because it is valuable, rare, and in demand. Among ordinary people, gold and silver are precious items and very rare, so they become currencies that everyone can accept and circulate. In the eyes of cultivators, gold and silver are like scrap iron. But crystals can increase cultivation and are useful to every cultivator. Everyone needs and demands them, so their value will naturally increase."
Xue Jin obviously has his own experience with these things. Being able to start from scratch, his intelligence cannot be too bad.
"However, my lord, if we use crystals to make coins, then they must be different from the original crystals. Otherwise, if coins are made from crystals, there is no big difference between them and the crystals themselves, and other people can trade with crystals. It's okay now, but if in the future, any crystal can be used to buy and sell items, then the monetary system will be impacted. There is no difference between minting coins and not minting coins. Instead of minting coins, it is better to trade directly with crystals."
Xue Jin spoke out his concerns.
If the crystal is really split and polished into coins, what is the difference between it and the original crystal? At the most critical moment, it is easy to be impacted by external currencies and the financial system within one's own power can be easily affected by others.
Any currency needs to be equivalent and cannot be copied or imitated.
Just like any country's currency, once counterfeit currency appears and spreads on a large scale, the consequences and impact will be too great. Currency is the first face of a power.
"Well, if you want to mint currency, it must be unique, and it must be circulated and accepted by the monks. It must also have the same properties as the crystal. People are habitual. Once they are familiar with a currency, they will recognize it, and when they trade, they will use the currency as the unit for transactions. But now there is a problem."
"When a crystal is absorbed and refined, it will directly disintegrate into powder and dust, completely vanishing without a trace. If it is cast into currency, the currency can be refined by people. Once refined, the coin will vanish into nothing and no longer exist. This is no different from a crystal. If the cast coins can be made without being completely consumed, and can also absorb the vitality of heaven and earth from it, the coins can still be kept from being destroyed after being absorbed. Xue Jin, which of these two do you think is more suitable for currency circulation?"
Yi Tianxing spoke out his hesitation.
If the currency is made purely of crystals, then obviously, once the energy inside is absorbed, the currency will turn into powder. If one is refined, there will be one less. If it is cast using a special method, it may be possible to preserve the currency from being destroyed. But after the energy inside is absorbed, can it still be circulated as currency
This is where Yi Tianxing was secretly hesitant.
Without the vital energy of heaven and earth in it, the currency minted would be no different from that minted with gold and silver.
Not everyone will buy it.
"If you have a way, my lord, it would be best to mint coins that will not be destroyed after absorbing all the energy of heaven and earth. I think that crystals are condensed from the energy of heaven and earth, and they cannot be created overnight. However, there will be more and more cultivators, and the demand for crystals will increase. Once they are consumed, there will really be less. In the end, there may be fewer and fewer crystals, or even dry ones. If we can mint a currency that can last forever, it may bring about incredible changes."
After Xue Jin pondered for a while, he slowly spoke.
When Yi Tianxing heard this, he couldn't help but look at him deeply. From this sentence, he could already tell that his thinking was different from that of ordinary people. He saw further and thought more. His worry was not unreasonable.
You know, crystals are consumables.
Everyone will consume it. If a part of it is refined every day, then if one day the crystal mine is exhausted and no new crystal mine can be found, or the amount of crystal mine is constantly decreasing, then the entire monetary system will collapse.
If an indestructible currency could be minted, this possibility could be eliminated at the root.
Once and for all.
"I don't know if the mint can do that. I only know that the mint can mint coins, but I haven't studied it in detail. It seems that to solve this problem, we still have to start from the root of coin minting."
Yi Tianxing nodded secretly and pondered.
When it comes to currency, it is not advisable to change it every day. It is best to do it in one go.
"First, dig up some crystals. I'll take them back and try to mint coins. Let's see if I can mint suitable currency."
No matter how much you think about it, it’s better to just do it first.
Not long after, a batch of crystals were dug out from the mine.
Yi Tianxing returned directly to the village.
He sat upright in the quiet room and with a wave of his hand, a magical furnace appeared in the room.
This furnace tripod is very peculiar. It is sealed all over, but on the lid is a golden Pixiu. It opens its mouth wide, as if it is swallowing up the wealth of the world. Below it is a golden toad.
It looked like a three-legged golden toad holding up a cauldron, with a Pixiu on top. They came together in an indescribable harmony.
Moreover, there was a coin in the mouth of the three-legged golden toad.
However, this coin seemed very illusory and vague, as if it could change at any time and had not been completely finalized.
"The Pixiu swallows wealth, and the golden toad spits out gold. One is in the sky, and the other is on the ground. It's like a Qiankun coin casting furnace."
Yi Tianxing carefully examined the coin-making furnace in front of him. There was no gap in the furnace that could be opened. The Pixiu could devour a large amount of coin-making materials. Once the coin-making was completed, a golden toad would be spit out.
The blurry coin in the mouth of the golden toad is the coin mold. To make a certain type of coin, one only needs to make the coin in the mouth of the golden toad condense into a certain shape. It is very convenient and magical. It is absolutely worthy of the title of rare treasure.
The key point is that this coin-making furnace contains a unique divine ban.
It’s called—Ten Thousand Treasures Qian Kun Money Ban!!
This is the real foundation of the coin-making furnace. Any coin-making furnace must have a coin-making divine ban. Otherwise, it is impossible to mint top-notch coins.
"Try refining it once first."
Yi Tianxing picked up a black iron crystal ore and threw it towards the Pixiu on the coin casting furnace. The Pixiu swallowed it directly.
With a thought, the true energy in his body was poured into the coin-making furnace.
