Enter the Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 24: Xianxia Economics and the Merit-based System [Update 2
After being introduced to the Immortal Path by Zhen Chanzi, Wang Qi had great doubts about a question - can things like spirit stones really be used as currency?
Within a certain period of time, the amount of currency required in circulation is directly proportional to the total price of commodities and inversely proportional to the velocity of currency circulation. Too much or too little money can cause economic chaos.
As for spiritual stones, the quantity is obviously difficult to control!
The spiritual energy content in a piece of spiritual stone is uneven. Without a price agreed upon by the immortals, it would be difficult to start a transaction - this phenomenon did not improve until the invention of the "spiritual pool".
If there are more spiritual stones on the market, the value of the spiritual stones will naturally fall. In this way, it is very likely that a monk will be in seclusion for ten years. After coming out of seclusion, he will find that his many years of savings have become worthless because of the discovery of another vein of spiritual stone.
On the contrary, if a vein of spiritual stones is exhausted, the price of spiritual stones may rise, and some people may end up hoarding large amounts of spiritual stones to make money.
Either scenario would be a significant blow to the market.
Since the remuneration is difficult to determine, alchemists will not easily help people refine elixirs, and weapon refiners will not easily help people refine weapons. This will result in a person having more things to learn and less time to practice. This will instead form a vicious cycle.
In the end, a large number of monks who are unable to move forward due to obstacles in their practice will lose all scruples and attack each other, turning Huafeng Shengsheng from a "flow of resources" into a "flow of people."
In the 80,000-year history of Immortal Dao, there have been five Immortal Dao catastrophes caused by the depletion of large-scale mineral veins or the discovery of large-scale mineral veins.
However, Zhen Shanzi also explained that most of the time, the spirit stone veins were occupied by large sects. The sects that occupy the mineral veins will consciously limit the outflow of spirit stones. Only the core members of the sect can use the spirit stones without restriction.
But this cannot guarantee market stability. The spiritual stones required for ancient cultivation are all used for cultivation. A bunch of them may be used one day. The number of spiritual stones on the market is difficult to control - this place is not like the earth. The currency cannot be eaten or used. People on earth will not do it for Make money while working out.
Due to the fragility of the monetary system, the monks have also retained the original practice of bartering.
However, in order to deal with this problem, ancient immortality also made adjustments.
The most typical one is the period when the Immortal Sect retreats from the world. There are only a hundred or so monks in the world, and the resources are evenly distributed to everyone, but they are extremely abundant. Mortals have only heard that there are immortals in the world, but no one has ever seen a fairy.
But as a result, the power of the human race was greatly weakened, and the demon race occupied most of the Chinese state. The monks didn't care much at first. However, due to the small population base, many sects could not find good seedlings and thus lost their inheritance. Only the remaining sects resumed the "casting a wide net" training method.
In addition, the Xiuxian Dynasty is also a solution. A group of cultivators, Da Ting, controls all human beings, immortals and mortals. Only the royal family, ministers and soldiers can practice. If you don't join the system, you don't even have the qualifications to practice. If you find anyone who violates the prohibition, you will be executed immediately.
This not only ensures the stability of the market price, but also retains the power of the human race against the demon race, the best of both worlds.
But this system is even more afraid of the emergence of a demon who "cannibalizes people for spiritual practice." There have been three dynasties of cultivating immortals in history, and twice they collapsed because several geniuses who had had abortions appeared among the poor and lower-middle peasants and achieved Mahayana by running a thousand miles away from the earth.
There was also an era when demonic cultivators were rampant and cannibalism was practiced due to the collapse of the immortal way. In this era, mortal flesh and blood largely replaced spiritual stones. This could be provided stably, and the Immortal Path prospered for a while. However, the sects that maintained this style of practice had their inheritance cut off by him, and they are no longer seen today.
Nowadays, the Immortal Alliance clearly has the means to continuously mine spiritual energy from the void outside the sky, but it has not been applied on a large scale. This is also taken into consideration. Originally, the merit system was just a military merit system established to motivate members when the Immortal Alliance was first established. But after the invention of that technology, the scope of application of the merit system was expanded, and the things that could be exchanged for merit became more valuable. The exchange rate between merit and spiritual energy was adjusted year by year to prevent monks from being involved in this wave. Bankruptcy in the tide.
By completing the tasks required by the Immortal Alliance, you can obtain the Immortal Alliance merit points. Now, most things have clear prices in the Immortal Alliance's exchange table, and the Immortal Alliance also allows members to trade with each other for their work value. The core sects of the Immortal Alliance can also use large-scale exchanges to adjust the number of merit points they have on the market.
Due to the guarantee of the Immortal Alliance itself, merit will one day replace the increasingly depreciated spiritual energy and become the most commonly used currency in the immortal world.
After understanding this, Wang Qi sighed: "The force I belong to seeks long-term peace and stability, and everyone can achieve immortality. This is indeed a good thing, but it also means that I basically have no way to obtain ill-gotten gains."
Xiang Qi said: "It's not impossible to obtain a large amount of merit points. Wealth can be found in danger. You can go to Langde in the West Sea and join the fierce battle with the sea monster, or go to the East China Sea to search for the remnants of ancient magic cultivation. You can earn points super fast. "
Wang Qi curled his lips: "Sister, you are being teased by me. Is that what I, a monk in the Qi training stage, can do?"
"If you can win the favor of the Grand Master and join his experimental team to explore the way of heaven and earth, it will be very simple to get merit points. The Immortal Alliance attaches great importance to this aspect, and the points earned are no less than those obtained by fighting against the ancient cultivators of the demon clan. "Xiang Qi seemed to be sincerely considering this suggestion: "Since the master is looking up to you, maybe the grand master of Wanfamen will accept you?"
Wang Qi shook his head. He knew his own business. Xi Boche probably thought it was interesting and talented to practice so many magic skills at the same time, rather than thinking that he had a high level of mathematics. If he used chicken feathers as a token of authority, it would cause the Wanfamen to be disgusted.
In addition, he had a lot of secrets. Accepting the attention of everyone as a top student was the limit. If he went further, he would be overjoyed.
Xiang Qi pondered: "Why don't you try to summarize your understanding of the Tao and the deduction of the skills, and then hand them over to the Immortal Alliance? The rewards of the Immortal Alliance in this regard are particularly generous."
Wang Qi was slightly moved at this time. It is obvious that the manuscript of the Taoist is worth a lot; and he has some of the most cutting-edge results in geophysics in his mind. However, the Taoist is still a status that everyone hates in the Immortal Alliance. After handing over the manuscript, will he be killed or will he be killed? As for the latter... A junior high school student on Earth suddenly came up with a theoretical result that surpassed his time. What would the government react to?
Moreover, the physical laws known in the Shenzhou world have many similarities with those on Earth, but the physical quantity of "spiritual energy" leads to the difference between the two worlds. Who knows if the physical laws known in his previous life are still useful in the deeper fields.
After rejecting several plans in succession, Xiang Qi suddenly slapped his forehead: "How could I forget it so easily! You are still a new disciple of the Immortal Academy!"
