I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1837: Chapter 921: Five Elements Coin (3)

However, the Five Element Coins are somewhat unique, especially with the characteristic of needing to merge fragmented Spirit Stones with metal coins, so the equipment needs to be custom-made according to this requirement.

In the past, Chen Mobai would naturally have had some concerns, but now his status is different.

He gave Zhou Tiangong at the Tiangong Instrument Factory a call, and the latter didn’t even ask the Nascent Soul, showing him the design the very next day. After Chen Mobai revised several versions to finalize it, this batch of equipment was delivered in half a month.

Chen Mobai was very grateful, and then used a slot from the Dance Tool Dao Academy to reserve one Golden Liquid Jade Pill from this batch for Zhou Tiangong.

After the mint factory was established in Huozhen Immortal City, if the machines were running at full capacity, they could mint over a billion Five Element Coins in a month.

However, considering the market acceptance, Chen Mobai only issued ten billion Five Element Coins temporarily. He first distributed them as a monthly allowance to sect disciples, then encouraged them to set an example by using them in various Immortal Cities, gradually promoting them throughout the Eastern Wilderness over the years.

With the endorsement of the Five Elements Sect, plus the fact that these Five Element Coins possess spiritual energy and can be used for cultivation, they were easily accepted by the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness.

There were those who contemplated minting counterfeit coins, but the superb minting skills directly deterred them from the idea.

An Artifact Refiner of such caliber could easily take an order and secure years’ worth of cultivation resources. Why risk offending the Five Elements Sect to do this?

The emergence of the Five Element Coins directly stimulated the commercial development of the entire Eastern Wilderness.

In the past, many transactions were limited by the payment methods and could only be conducted in bulk. Loose cultivators wanting to buy some elixirs from the pharmacy could only afford to buy in quantities worth at least one Spirit Stone, which was not at all friendly to those with low cultivation levels, who could only earn a few Spirit Stones a year.

Now, with the introduction of the Five Element Coins, they have more options.

Some shops initially worried that the Five Element Coins would eliminate their bulk transactions and that the scattered trades by loose cultivators would not sustain their high store rents in the Immortal City.

But soon, they discovered that the market exploded with surprising vitality once Five Element Coins were introduced.

Stores that were previously desolate now swarmed with a hundred times more customers. Although profits were smaller, the increased volume led to even greater earnings. Moreover, with more customers using them, reputable shops gradually outshone unscrupulous merchants and stood out.

With the lower market economy becoming active, it also boosted the upper market. As goods were sold, restocking naturally followed, leading the forces behind these shops to purchase larger quantities of raw materials. Some savvy families and sects even used teleportation arrays to travel outside the Eastern Wilderness, comparing prices to buy cheaper resources.

Xiao Yuli sat on the ox cart, watching the bustling streets and packed shops full of people shopping. She was deeply moved.

She had been away from Mount Wudi for more than two years, traveling all over the East Land, but even in the most prosperous Taixu Immortal City, she hadn’t seen such a lively scene.

“Senior, we’re about to enter the main city. If you’re an outsider cultivator, you’ll need to report to the Five Elements Sect to get an outsider’s visa-like documentation to shop and stay at various stores.”

Niu Manfeng’s words reached Xiao Yuli’s ears, and she did not understand the new term. After the former explained, she realized that the so-called visa document was equivalent to temporary Northern Abyss City residency.

Without it, you’d essentially be a black-market customer, and legitimate stores wouldn’t dare to sell anything to you.

Street vendors didn’t care about this, and the stall owner wouldn’t ask for it.

“But this visa document doesn’t allow you to participate in the lottery…”

What on earth is a lottery?

Xiao Yuli felt like a country girl entering a city. Northern Abyss City had all sorts of intriguing things she didn’t understand.

“The lottery is for purchasing eligibility for the Danxia Pavilion’s Foundation Establishment Trithings. My father just got a loan to buy a house in the suburbs where you were teleported so he could enter the lottery, saying it’s to secure a Foundation Establishment Trithings for me. But I’m definitely going to be a genius joining the Five Elements Sect in the future, and the sect will provide if I excel…”

Niu Manfeng answered every question and drove the ox cart directly to the certification place as they spoke.

Xiao Yuli hesitated for a moment but decided to follow local customs.

She was here to find Emperor Chen Qing, so she might as well announce her presence here.

Song Huangdae looked at Xiao Yuli as she walked in, smiling.

The task of registering outsider cultivators usually didn’t require a Foundation Establishment Practitioner like him, but since the person before him was a Golden Core Cultivator, Niu Manfeng had notified him in advance to bring her here.

Song Huangdae: “Where do you come from, Daoist?”

Xiao Yuli: “The East Land!”

Song Huangdae: “Could you be more specific?”

Xiao Yuli was silent for a moment before speaking three words, “Mount Wudi!”

The right hand that Song Huangdae was about to write with slightly trembled. He looked up in shock at the female cultivator before him. After completing the form, he swallowed and pointed to the next line, which asked for ’sect/family,’ and asked to confirm again.

Xiao Yuli frowned at the seemingly honest Song Huangdae, thinking he was really uninformed. There’s only one sect on Mount Wudi, yet he still needed to ask.
